The relationship between being a Bitcoiner and life expectancy can be interpreted from different perspectives. In favor of the idea that being a Bitcoiner does negatively affect longevity, there are clear arguments. The first is the high price volatility of Bitcoin. The constant, sharp changes can generate significant levels of stress and anxiety, impacting mental and physical well-being. Additionally, being a Bitcoiner implies a great responsibility in becoming “your own bank.” This requires financial management skills and digital security knowledge, as a small mistake can have serious consequences for your wealth. The continuous effort to stay up to date with these responsibilities can be exhausting and affect one's quality of life.
On the other hand, some argue that it doesn't have a negative impact and might even offer benefits. Bitcoin provides a clear and predictable structure, which brings peace of mind. Bitcoiners know exactly when key parameters, such as the halving (reduction of mining rewards) and mining difficulty adjustments, take place. This predictability provides confidence, avoiding unexpected surprises within the system.
In conclusion, although being a Bitcoiner may pose challenges in terms of management and security, the long-term transparency and stability offered by the protocol can counterbalance these effects, providing peace of mind. The real impact will depend on each person's ability to handle the risks and responsibilities.
And you, do you think being a Bitcoiner could affect your life expectancy?
The truth is that each person sees things in a different way, certainly you have touched both groups of Bitcoiners although the first one would not call it that. The latter only looks at the price and focuses on the superfluous. Bitcoin is money, backed by energy, finite in number. It is volatile; but the true Bitcoiner looks to the future, the traditional system is collapsed and rotten.

The first is the high price volatility of Bitcoin.
If the price volatility is still affecting you, it means you are NOT YET a bitcoiner.... few....
do you think being a Bitcoiner could affect your life expectancy?
Yes, once you truly understand what really is Bitcoin, you want to live more and you will do all the best for that.

The life expectancy related to Bitcoin from my perspective is related, as stated in the post, to the experience and perspective of the Bitcoiner.
When we start, a stressful aspect is the price of Bitcoin, its fluctuation worries us, over time, we come to like it, since it is the opportunity to accumulate on the downside and seek liquidity on the upside. Generally at the beginning we bought at once and sold in the same way, almost always when we were gripped by FOMO due to the fall and then we had losses and stress. Now we are happy about the fall and we buy in fractions.
Knowledge on any topic can be abundant, resources many, but if we focus on the necessary and essential resources then it is simpler to handle the technical aspects of Bitcoin and security. Of course, something that helps a lot is, in addition to doing our research, having a support community, and we have several, what we have to do is use them well.
In summary, the life expectancy associated with Bitcoin has a lot to do with what we use to feed ourselves in the sense of knowledge, the daily practice of knowledge exercises by testing what we are learning, that is what the Testnet is for; avoid bad habits, such as using custodial wallets, despairing over fluctuation, exposing our privacy, not saving the seed phrase in a medium away from the internet.
Taking care of our health with Bitcoin, which gives us security, freedom and privacy, is related to the experience that we accumulate and letting those who really love the community guide us, although sometimes it seems that they are hard on us
