Since I know cryptocurrency my biggest fear is to lost all my capital or large amounts in trading or investment, because of the fear in me I don't do things that I'm not sure of or things I don't know. My fear to lose have always been a motivation or a reason for me to know things concerning cryptocurrency,  I fear to start trading when I'm of myself that I know nothing to trade , fear to start investment when I know that I don't have a source of income.

My fear have been a motivation to learn,  even If I start trading I may lose but not to lose everything because of the understanding I have. My fear to lose have always made me to take the right decisions and not to make money money my first ultimate in trading and investment but understanding as my first priority.

I know some of my mates who are into  cryptocurrency that phobia to lose but even with the fear to lose they still go ahead to trade. If beginners allows their fear to motivate them to learn first their won't be drastic lose in trading.

So are you trying to say fear is your drive in the crypto space? Your write up seems to be a form of motivation to newbies but in the real world fear in trading or hodling will only cause losses because you find yourself selling your hodlings in dip instead of strategizing when to sell and hodl in bull.instead of letting fear drive you I suggest you allow experience and research take the place of fear.
the main reason people lose in the crypto space is lack of sufficient knowledge and research  I don't think if you have a good understanding of block chain and Bitcoin basics you will end up just losing your funds or hodlings.

Being afraid of losing or losing some of your money in trading is a natural feeling. We all do not like to lose money, but what is not understood is the loss of all of your capital or large amounts, as it indicates a problem in your investment strategy. If you diversify your investments, the possibility of there being a loss will decrease. All your capital and the problem becomes how to reduce losses to be much less than profits and thus trading will be profitable. More learning will put an end to the idea of losing all the money from your head and will reduce the loss of large amounts. The only problem remains reducing losses compared to profits.

Why being scared mate? There's nothing to fear when you have good knowledge and understanding of how Bitcoin works. You just have to be smart and carful type, not the fearful one. Your fear exposes you to more risk and I don't see how fear can motivate someone.



I won't call that fear, but thier ability to recognize that trading  is risky and they should be aware of all potential risk involved before going into trading. I don't think newbies should allow fear or rather FOMO to be a motivation to them, I don't see how it motivates any one. But if you ask questions and do research properly, with enough knowledge theres nothing to be scared of when dealing with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency.

Fear of the unknown has made lots of people remain in their comfort zones. It is a resistant force that gives one no reason to make an attempt to engage with what seems challenging to make end results. For some people, it is a way forward and to some people, it is a call for caution. When out of curiosity you make a move damning the result or outcome of the situation of the risk taken, you find out that you have learned something new. Ordinarily, one would not have done what you could have done if not for conquering fear. When you put effort into learning doing away with fear no matter the result of it, you find out that you have learned something new, and that knowledge you get keeps you up and doing. Until one conquers fear, one can not be able to make any move for achievement.

HaHa... Talking about FEAR, it is normal as human and no person who does not experience such
From research we can tell that fear kills before an incident occurs, it kills ones self esteem, it kills ones efficiency, it creates doubt and deduces one confidence. it is our ability to overcome fear, by not letting it get the better part of us, it is unavoidable as human to have this fear but we have to work on our self esteem and let that phobia get behind
Trading is risky but speaking positively to the mind is the ultimate

I can relate to your fear and I do understand that losing money is scary. The fear of losing money would either end up in ignoring trading or encouraging us to learn to trade. Too much fear will lead to overthinking and overthinking in a risky venture will always lead to failure. The best way to overcome it is by gaining knowledge and following your instincts afterward. I would like to add that trading is risky, if you have the guts to trade and you are open to losing funds while learning then only you should venture into it. Otherwise, stay away from it and think of other options to double your investment.

If you are overwhelmed with as a result of your investment, it means you are over investing and this is wrong. Irrespective of how lucrative it may appear, I think being about to invest only what you are comfortable with is the best decision. For clarity, you can never be sure of anything in life and even in cryptocurrency,  there is no guarantees. 


I will suggest you take some courses on psychology so you will be able to overcome these fears. You can search Mark Douglas on YouTube,  he did some nice work about trading psychology. You cannot win in this market with this level of fear. Understanding that there risk involve and taking steps to mitigate these risks is what lead to success in investing.

Don't trade and don't invest when you're unsure. But here's the catch, you can set aside trading and not learn about it but you need to learn how to take risk in investing. That's the way to go in order for you to gain on this market. If you're not going to learn how to invest and take risk, you'll gain nothing.

Overcome your fear, that's what you need to do. Because with fear, it sets the mood to yourself not to try something new or what you really want to do which is to trade and/or to invest. When you always think first of fear, you'll not progress believe me. Just forget about your fear and keep on doing things with thought that you'll learn a valuable lesson whether you achieve success or not.

It is normal to have fear and worry about the investment made with Bitcoin.  I agree with @OP that to quell that fear, one must strive to learn and acquire knowledge about the venture he is investing with or trading with. 

Knowledge is the best solution for fear since fear is caused by worries about unknown circumstances and having knowledge about Bitcoin trading, the cycles, and the patter of the Bitcoin market will assure us of something in the future.  So learning these knowledge will make us diminish the fears and worries and we will have peace of mind holding our BTC and be ing patient to wait for the future great opportunity to profit.

Even when you have prepared yourself with the necessary knowledge in trading the crypto market the first day you will want to trade you will be afraid of losing your funds in trading. Fear is one thing that stops someone from learning a new thing, leave fear aside and go ahead with your plans, if you do that thing and fail you be able to identify your errors, and next time if you do that same thing again you will be able to avoid those errors and do better on that. Experience is the best teacher if you do not leave your fear and try something new you will not have the experience and know how to do better

I see losses as the beginning of opening up new knowledge for trading or investing. I also failed in my initial trading. even now I can't make up my mind about making a profit in trading. I know it can be maximized with the skills we have. but everything can't just be learned without the courage to try. and losses are inevitable for every beginner who starts.

If you feel confident with the skills and knowledge you have, you must have the courage to try. even though it is a failure. but the most important thing is your attitude after gaining trading or investing experience. If you are trapped in that fear, then when you fail you may not come back again.

Actually in reality most of people who fear to lose will not learn because they're scared to take a risk. When you're fear to lose your money, you will be very careful and you wouldn't leave your comfort zone. Just like someone who's start a business, there's no business will always make money constantly everyday.

I would argue a bit about this in two cases, if a user gains knowledge of bitcoin then they can hold their bitcoins safe away from hackers better than the people that do not have knowledge because the knowledgeable person is aware of not storing his coins on exchanges or just any online wallet and also he is aware of things like phishing attacks and this will help him in storing the coins for a very long time even if they store the bitcoin in the same hot wallet as the less knowledgeable person.

But in terms of trading which I believe the OP is referring to, no person is save from losing there funds on it. The knowledgeable person only reduces the risk of losing just anyhow that a less knowledgeable person does because he is knowledgeable on many aspects like analysis and stuffs like that. But saying they wouldn’t lose is not something right because even the most favourite team in a game of sport loses sometimes

I don't know what you guys are so crazy about trading. It is clear that the marketing that promotes it has you well eaten in the head. If you are afraid of trading, just don't do it. I'll give you another reason, well over 90% of traders lose money, this in the stock market, and I'm sure that with cryptocurrency trading is even closer to 100%. So if you are afraid of losing money with trading, you are right. So don't do it.

If you are afraid of trading or investing then you can never risk money trading or investing. There are many differences between saving and investing. If you save money, the money will be safe but the money will not grow, but if you invest, the money will be leaning but the money will have the potential to grow. If you think that if you invest your money there is a possibility of losing it and if that money is lost it can have a very bad effect on your life then you should refrain from investing. Investment experts always say that you invest as much money as you can afford to lose. You must invest at the risk of losing your money.

Don't you know if you're considering the beginners, this may be hard to achieve, because there will always be a reason to fear on missing out for any crypto newbie even if their investment is only on bitcoin, now not to also consider those that took the higher risk on altcoins investment, maybe the experienced users may understand better on this than  newbies just starting, this will also not work for a newbie who only invested on memecoins and memetokens and thinking everything will be alright over time, there's no how we can escape the bear market during the period of our investment, but what we Invested is the first access to wether we should have the fear of missing out or not, so every cryptopreneurs should know that bitcoin should be their ultimate first and only decision when starting, especially the beginners.

Everyone is afraid to lose mate, not just in crypto trading but as well like in the gambling world as well. However, maybe if you can gain enough experience when you to trading, then perhaps in the long run, you will understand how to mitigate that risk and not lose as much as when you started your journey.

So for me it's the experience as you go along with your crypto trading, and this should be your motivation though. The first thing that comes to my mind when I read your post is somewhat negative. Don't get me wrong though, but I don't see how fear becomes a motivation when it's a negative word for everyone.

That's still good that fear stop you to do risky decision so try to learn from other people and instead of thinking about investment maybe rather try to dig up some information then locate the statements or feedbacks given by people so that you can get a knowledge from them. Their experiences will be your guide so that you can minimize the losses and possibly can think right when profit taking stage is starting to come up on your trades.
normal for us to get feared but we should assure that after learning from past experiences we will execute something and try to earn. Since if we don't do any action and continue to get afraid then maybe later on we will regret our decision for not taking early steps. Although its scary to lose but if you will not take the risk you will no gain anything from trading.

Fear can be a good motivation to do or start something the right way, but fear which can be good, can also be very bad. Fear can limit you and make you set mental barriers for yourself. Fear can get you feeling the need to play it too safe which is not too good because in playing it too safe, never pushing yourself because of fear, you will remain the way you are. Fear can be cautioning to you when you think of trading bitcoins, but do not let the fear make you never consider getting knowledge about trading to start it or even trying to start investing in bitcoins.

There is an old saying about fear which goes like this:
Fear can save your life, but fear can never give you what you want, so what that means is that every life depends on fear, because is your anxiety that birth attempts, and once you conquer your fear, you have won the battle into self-realization.
So you have to know that everything you want is on the other side of fear and until you cross over to the other you can't get everything you want.
The same applies to both trading and investment and that is the reason you have to take only calculated risks and reduce the level of your fear at all times because not doing so may affect your decision-making processes which can lead to more losses.

Their is no way one can avoid lose in trading, it is something that is always their that every trader will experience.  But the lose i am talking about is the one that is caused due to lack of understanding,  this type of lose always comes big. It is either to stay away from trading or to have a better understanding about it for better outcomes than to trade with no understanding expecting to get better results at the end of the trading exercise. Learning to understand is the main thing people need when it comes to trading and investment. Understanding is the only instrument that can help to get the kind of results everyone desires in trading.  This is what everyone needs but people try to do without learning , thinking it is just easy to make good trading.

Fear is a natural emotion in every human being, no one wants to lose money when they invest their funds in Bitcoin if you are afraid to invest you will never achieve your goal if you don't want to lose your capital, investing in Bitcoin reduces your risks more than trading investors are not afraid to lose because they believe that one day they will make a large profit, If you are afraid to invest you will never achieve your goal.

If you do not have knowledge on trading you will be losing because you cannot win without knowledge on Bitcoin trading, with the idea of trading you will not be afraid because you know you will get profit because you understand the trading system, Is better you have a source of income before you begin your trip in investment or trading, You can simply utilize your profit and invest to make another profit but the price can change at any time, which is why you need to find a place where you can create money before starting investment.

The fear that you will run at loss in a business is what will make you very careful in whatever decisions that you are making. In crypto trading it is even more worst because of the volatile nature of bitcoin. If you say that you being scared helps you to make the right decisions and steps, that good as long as it works for you.

It is better that when your mind is not at rest with trading, you need not to think of it, because trading is risky and you might end up running at great loss, especially as a newbie. I wouldn't dare think of trading because am cool with investing, as this gives me rest of mind since am investing in a long period of time.

You don't need to be afraid of losing your money in trading, because it will surely happen, I remember my first time in Forex trading, I burnt my fingers, my coach then, told me it's very Ok, but it wasn't a large sum, it was just little as a beginner.

As first time trader, you just need to start with a little amount so you can know those mistakes you've made and learn how to avoid it.
Don't be too afraid, there is always victory at the other side of fair, fair is the veil that is in front of your goals, once you remove the veil you will see your dreams coming to reality. But try as much possible to equip yourself with knowledgeable trading skills, like do more your self-education.

Fear sometimes can trigger the hidden grief in you, causing you to become more nervous than you should be ... Especially when you're not well schooled in the whole thing; Trading isn't something anyone should just wake up, relying on the tips from senseless and ADs promoting YouTubers... you'll eventually lose all your money!!
Some other times, to be free, you'd need to overcome your fear.

Fear is an emotion that can be useful to us but we have to be careful or else it will make us docile.
That's why it's best to invest what you can afford to lose. It's good to be scared but it doesn't mean you'll let that fear make decisions for you. Try to be rational and analytical. Fear shouldn't rule you instead it should be a reminder that you need to be careful.


OP never said fear is what drives him in crypto. He's only saying fear makes him cautious. Fear makes him take his time in whatever he does and to him it has made him make the best decisions.

You said well, but newbies will not use their fear to motivate them to learn first, instead, they will try to be more skeptical and will try to learn from as many influencers as they can, they will try to watch trading videos, But I am saying again that they will not try to learn. Because they will be looking at the wrong videos and following the wrong influencers. They must be watching videos that are 5 to 10 minutes long and that would teach them trading, instantly.

They want to learn the trading overnight and end up learning nothing, and by losing more by not learning anything they will start to fear more because they know start to say others that they gave time on learning and learnt a lot but still we made loss.

They will say, crypto trading is gambling, etc. But the education with practical is what they should do and they should start to ignore videos that are 5 to 10 minutes long and they should start to follow influencers that are not only the ones having blue tick, while judge them with their past posts and history of their trades etc.

You mean you let fesr affect your decision in crypto space?. If you are like that then I think you will miss some opportunities due to being afraid to lose your funds. Having some bad experiences is what makes us learn what to do and make good decisions instead of not trying at all. To be honest, it already happened to me where I am afraid to buy it and later that time, the price did increase and I miss the opportunity to sell for higher price.

Fear sometimes is actually a good guide to decision making because our fear of certain things make us cautious about the possibility of what might actually happen if it all goes wrong. But fear also reduces your chances of making that decision and risk that might possibly blow you up, and I don't know of you actually familiar with the saying that implies "no risk no gain". Fear can limit this part in our life but sometimes too some risk aren't worth trying if you know what I mean.

Fear is the biggest enemy of success, you don't because of the heat in the kitchen and avoid cooking. That means you don't want to take risks, no risk no reward. One problem that people have is that they are not willing to learn, though trading is not for everyone but if you find it interesting you must pay the sacrifice, in the sense that you must dedicate a significant amount of time to learning.

 I started my trading journey around 2017 but that was not the year I began to understand trading,  though I didn't put enough effort until 2019 when I dedicated my time and energy to learning and there came improvement afterwards.

For those who are still not capable to trade, it's better to fear not to trade so you can avoid inevitable losses. But if you are already in the trading industry, it's always a motivation to be fearful and to risk things like most of the successful traders often do. However, make sure that you know the weight of those risks so you can easily manage and overcome all those risks.

That will depend on our risk appetite, some people can take it high while others just can take it low. Fear is a big factor that would affect our decision making and honestly, it was hard to deal with it when we already have that phobia. Therefore, better to keep it low and never make this a motivation because that still appears someday and becomes a reason for our losses.
We have to keep in mind that trading is too risky and it is hard to keep your mind strong if you already have the fear inside.

The fear to lose is normal for us human beings. Because if you don't feel that certain emotion, you will look like a robot who have always been emotionless. However, I can see your good intention in your post. But always know that if you stay fearful all the time, it will never let you grow on your craft. Don't be afraid to lose, instead make it as your motivation to improve your trading knowledge and skills so you can lessen the risk to lose.

It could be, and this might be more about how we become more careful and care about what we are going to do. Fear of losing money due to trading or investing is a reason for us to prepare ourselves carefully when we want to do it. So we want to learn and understand what crypto trading or investing in crypto is. So at least, we are not careless when doing or entering the world of crypto. This precaution is very necessary here.

Conquering our fears as newbie traders depends on how much risk we are willing to expose ourselves in based on how much capital we have available. You can be having a $100 capital and be taking a risk that someone with $1000 should take in his trades.

If your  using $20 per risk you taking in eqch trade with $100 you've just 5 times of learning from it while,

With $1000 you have multiple times of 5 to learn on that fear taking the risk involved. So it therefore mean that capital has  a lot to do with  how much risk we can take as traders while trying to conquer our fears.


Even the experience trader with years of trading makes losses with or without fear losses will be there for traders, what's important is not to incur losses beyond our paycheque as that will be tragic.

Fear doesn't sound like a good thing at all but in your case, I can say that you have the good or positive type of fear. This fear is not the crippling one but the  one that helps the individual take up full responsibility and accountability for their crypto assets. On the other hand, the fear that leads people to panic and sell off their assets is bad or worse type of fear. Well I would conclude that the more you know about Bitcoin.

Kill your fear and make up your mind to learn and stop procrastinating if you have got the knowledge on how to trade,call I think you need right now is to let the fear of losing funds get in to your head because you can't win all the time meaning that you get to win sometimes and lose sometime again you can win all the time even though you are a winner.

Now if your aim of  trading isn't to make profit then don't trade because I don't think you are ready since making money is not your priority simply focus on building your knowledge on trading and hoping that you can really get better and make more profit than yo yever expected

The fear of loss that you have within yourself when you are new to cryptocurrency is a very common thing, because it is very natural for someone to immediately experience fear when they do not have sufficient knowledge of what they have just learned about. Your motivation for fear of loss is very reasonable and quite logical because other people might not be so determined to trade or invest in cryptocurrency when they still don't have that much knowledge about it.

Fear that can generate motivation to learn is a very good fear, because with it you can avoid small losses after you learn everything related to trading and investing in the cryptocurrency that you like. Anything that can encourage a person to continue learning until he can truly control himself from his emotions and lust for profit is quite a good thing for that person. So I think the fear you have experienced is not a bad thing because it can lead you to more mature learning for yourself.

You may see it that fear has made you not to lose money in cryptocurrency when you do not have the knowledge of it. I understand that some newbies will always want to trade and invest when they do not know anything about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. But I am also not impressed in your testimony because you are not supposed to be fearful of losing. If  you are very scared of losing your money, that means you may never make more money. What you need to do is simply to take your time and advance your skills in bitcoin trading and investment. When you have learnt alot, you will be confident and no longer afraid of losing.

Even  in our daily lives, we lose in one way or the other so stop being scared and do your best in the cryptocurrency market?

Having fear is a natural thing for people who invest in crypto or trade crypto. But don't let that fear be with you because by learning more about investing and trading, you can overcome that fear. You will know how to overcome the risks so they don't become big.

You will also learn how to overcome previous losses and find ways to profit from crypto. As you learn more about crypto, you can overcome your fears and won't be afraid anymore because you already know how to overcome them.

Turn your fear into a strength to want to learn more about investing and trading. So that you can develop further in these two things and make a profit.

If you can not face your fears, it will stop you from achieving your goals. It's normal and part of human nature but when you allow it to consume and control you, it becomes abnormal. There's a saying that the fear of failure is the beginning of failure. When you are afraid of failure and you remain reluctant to learning, your chance of success will be limited. You have taken a bold step to motivate yourself to learn due to your fears. As you know, learning has no end and as you keep on learning, you discover new ideas on timely basis.


It's not bad to be scared of losing money as it's also part of the game. If losing money is not part of the game, no one will be worrying about risk management. The truth is that you can not do away with that fear but the important thing is not to allow it to stop you from taking the step.

Everything in the world has its advantages and disadvantages, FEAR is the topic today and I am happy to share my opinion for others to read.

FEAR is good and it's also bad, there are situations where FEAR is what will keep you alive, I don't have to go into more details on this one, and there are also situations that the FEAR in you is what will kill you.

The thing is know when and how to react, be the pilot of your body and self, it's good to have fear because we are humans, and the truth is everyone has fear in them, but this can also push you to make the wrong or the right choices too.

Now when it comes to crypto, it's somehow different, if you have fear in you as a crypto investor, it's either because you are still a beginner who isn't sure about what he is going for, or you are someone who makes decisions about crypto from the mind ( gambling ), you are either to lazy to do some research on your own or you aren't just manny enough.

Lack of research brings fear in you automatically because you will feel lost, fear of losing means you are doing something wrong, let's not forget the rules of crypto investment, which says invest only what you can afford to lose, doing this automatically erase any fear in you, if you still have fear then you have invested money you are not willing to lose.

Fear isn't the reason why I learn about crypto, I am inspired to be in the crypto space and learn everything about it, to me it's adventurous and I've made mistakes along the way, I learn from the mistakes because I accept my fault, no everyone can do this.

Not only talking about crypto here, but about many situations in life where you can feel fear: knowledge is power, and generally speaking power can make an individual overcome insecurities (and in some cases even feel invincible, so watch out). If in the case of the OP, fear is the motivation that forced him to learn, it may not be the best trigger to do it, but it can be a good way to channel these sensations, so he shouldn't be blamed for it, quite the opposite.

In many cases, we have heard about grown-up men and women who tell the younger ones: I was like you, but experience/knowledge made me lose fear.

So, to me, the OP is not only right, but also brave to admit his fears.

Fear is normal especially if you are not really sure what you are doing and most of all, if you have thought negatively already.
If can change our mindset to positive, we no longer have such FEAR in mind but courage and motivation. In order to gain motivation and courage, we must beat our negative thinking and stop being affected by the FUDs. We can't move forward and achieve our goal if fear remains on us because this will influence our decisions.

This one is right. In crypto trading, you should fear NOTHING as long as you are equipped with proper knowledge on how the trading works. Once you enter this business, you should be ready to lose everything, but at the same gain what you prepared to lose. Who knows what tomorrow brings, right? Your curiosity, eagerness, and risks taken for this field is already an investment aside from your time and money.

Overall, your efforts would not be in vain if you know how to wait and learn how this field works. Do not make every failure a hindrance not to try again.

Thats actually true especially when it's comes to trading well I can't say the same for other aspect of life though but when it comes to trading the risk is just too much. I myself have tried it out but that was due to the notion of no risk no gain and believe me sometimes it better off you stay with something you are actually not skeptical about to avoid any case of latter regret.

If you are in cryptocurrency and you are scared to lose, then I think cryptocurrency is not for you. As a trader, you are going to lose money when trading, even if you are a professional. Losses might still come sometimes, so I can say trading is all about profit and loss, but as a trader, try and work out a strategy that is going to give you more profit. Losses shouldn’t be something that comes in often. But if you are a trader and you think you won’t lose money at all, then you are just deceiving yourself, you will lose, and as a newbie, you should be expecting more losses, you will lose more money in the process of learning.

As long as you continue to fear in losing then you will continue to lose. If you want to win in trading then you should trade like a winner not as a loser. You said ever since you learnt about cryptocurrency investing and trading . But you dont seem to be like one who learnt well perhaps you skipped some important part of the courses or video tutorials if not you wont be taking about fear being a motivation.

As long as the purpose of this forum is to learn what we dont know and share what we know, I recommend a book that can help you get rid of  fear in cryptocurrency trading. Read "The Mental Game of Trading" by Jared Tendler. You can try downloading the PDF file; I dont have it at the moment as its been a while, and I've lost the file, but I hope you can find it.

Always feared = missed opportunities.

Trust me, I've experienced that as well. I've missed many opportunities in the past and even until now because I didn't want to risk too much money investing into a project that I know is very risky. My fear of losing money always gets me, but the good thing is that, I always have a plan B, and what I'm doing is I'd rather invest it into some established projects out there, or even into Bitcoin instead of a project that I know is very risky.

I've also missed airdrops that came out to be a successful project months after giving out their tokens. Airdrops such as the Uniswap, and Arbitrum are the ones that I missed unfortunately. My fear of me getting hacked or whatever it is, is always getting me. Just imagine how much money I've lost in just 2 airdrops because of fear.

I'm not saying that don't get feared because sometimes, letting your fear get you has some advantages as well. You said that your friends are still trading despite them having the feeling of losing? I think it's because they believe that there will be a time that they will earn from it. What they just need is to learn more. As for you, use your fear as a tool for you to get motivated in whatever you wanted to learn.

Behind the profits that can be obtained from investing in Cryptocurrency, there is a risk of loss that can occur at any time which can drain some or all of the value of the money you have. Cryptocurrency is a type of investment that has high risk and high return opportunities. It is very natural that beginners are always afraid of losing because the comparison scale of risk of loss and profit is not much different. For those who want to or are just starting to invest in Cryptocurrency, you must learn from the mistakes of previous investors, always control yourself against the temptation of the lure of profits that can be obtained from Crypto investment.

Fear will shape your character to be more patient in carrying out the process, you will be more careful in investing to prevent the risks you fear from occurring. When you start to dare to invest in Cryptocurrency, of course you have done research on the coins you want to buy, coin fundamentals become the basic analysis in making the decision to buy coins for investment.

Having a crypto asset portfolio means that you own a percentage of a business because investing in Cryptocurrency can also be analogous to doing business. When deciding to get some coins to use as a long-term or short-term investment, you must be prepared not only to make a profit, but also to be prepared for the risk of loss because there is "uncertainty" in it.

fear? The biggest issue facing people today is that. fear of losing because if we don't lose, we run the chance of losing more. You must keep in mind when investing in cryptocurrencies that you will undoubtedly lose money and that you can also occasionally make large gains. If you don't lose, you lose more money, but as soon as you lose money, you may make corrections, which reduces the likelihood that you will lose again because you have learned.

We're scared when money's tight. Life isn't easy we're living in difficult periods in inequality. If you don't have a job you should consider your source of income's your sig campaign. You're grateful you've got it every week.

You're in the forum it's the best education campus better than online courses. If it doesn't help you make up your direction you shouldn't invest in cryptocurrencies. Keep taking your sig campaign to stack until you're ready to invest.

When you first start trading in cryptocurrencies, you must have a fear of losing money, that everyone does in the beginning.  When I first started trading, my fear of losing money was huge, and I lost my money a few times. Before embarking on crypto journey, if you don't know about trading and market, you can never profit, that's why if you know everything, then fear will not work in trading, but it will be a courage. It is true that everyone is afraid of losing money when it comes to trading, but when it comes to investing that fear does not work because investing never loses money. Moreover, when you feel the urge to lose, you must refrain from trading because when a person loses courage while trading, he can lose if he trades there. Of course, it is most important for people who are new to know various things before they start, but trading can be profitable and there will be no fear in the future. If you can overcome your motivation and fear, you will be able to move forward with cryptocurrency trading in the future.

I'm not sure whether fear in trading is a good thing, because you won't accomplish anything in trading even when you feel technically proficient and so on if your fear is greater than your courage to make a move. Learning is indeed important, but studying too often will not make you immediately make a profit in trading, you have to trade directly while you continue to learn and evaluate your trading history in the past so that in the future you will use a better strategy.

In fact - investing in bitcoin will not make the value of your investment go to 0. You just need to avoid day trading and continue to be a long-term holder - it should not make you afraid of losing. You only need to worry if all your investment assets are still on a centralized platform - but you will be safe if all your investment assets are in a wallet that gives you full custody.

Bitcoin price volatility just makes the value of your investment fluctuate - but I'm sure it won't go to 0 for obvious reasons, unless the crypto industry is truly doomed. As long as the bitcoin is still safe in your wallet - then you will not lose the bitcoin even if its value fluctuates.

Afaik Fear of the unknown is a very normal thing for any human being, so worry not buddy :)...

But when you refer to losing all capital because of trading, then you are probably pro trading with leverage which isn't advisable if one hasn't shapened their strategy to be on the profitable side of this journey... so to minimise such risk best to buy and hodl and forget about losing your capital to small price dips.


Tbh, the best way to find motivation is to find a working strategy that you have tried and tested and are happy with the results, otherwise going in blindly is guaranteeing oneself of failure....good thing fear pushes many of us to do the uncomfortable stuff and this includes learning new skills :)

It's sensible advice because buying to trade's different from hodl. If we're doing things with high stakes for first time it's normal to worry. We're scared of losing every thing after investing capital so large trades isn't advisable. Using sig campaign bitcoins to trade's a better strategy to using his wages.

Fear of investing makes us careful about our actions. However it motivates us to increase our knowledge about our investment. Also It can be positive thing if you can amplify your fear to motivate yourself to increase your knowledge.


Having a plan gives investor confident about his action. So working out for a strategy along the way of our investment journey can polish a unique stratgey that can make us a successful investor.

I mean for sure not all the time we are making the right decision here somethings we might just get lucky and sometimes we might just be unlucky about it, its just normal to be fear if you dont know what your doing at first if your going to think about it like driving a car, if your just a newbie and you dont know how your going to drive a car for sure at first you are afraid to hit the accelerator and most of the time you just slam the brake because you are afraid but as soon as you progress and learn how to drive that fear disappear because you know how to do it completely.

Its a good thing I guess since we are here in the forum meaning as soon as we just continue our journey here in the forum we are still learning a lot here, there are a lot of things that we need to learn as well as how we are going to protect ourselves against scams and hack since they are developing a lot of new ways, and probably we want to learn new strategy that we like on investing, for sure its going to be easy as soon as we are active here in the forum.

Yes, the majority of our youth today are experiencing this; they are simply afraid to leave their familiar surroundings and continue to strive for positive outcomes in life. Staying in your comfort zone prevents you from making any progress and causes your life to become stagnant. The majority of us don't succeed in our comfort zones; this particular problem is unknown because every advancement occurs unexpectedly, but you still need to be brave and face your fear.


The process of learning never ends. In order to learn and understand something quickly, one must put it into practice. Failure to take risks will make one a poor person in life because success comes from taking risks, so if you are afraid of doing so, you will never succeed in life. Staying inside will not bring about any progress. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the risk you wish to take on.


Your assertion is accurate, yet the majority of those who lose money so easily do so because they lack information and only consider the profitable aspect of trading while ignoring the costly aspect, loss. Everything required information in order for us to avoid being on the wrong side of it. You cannot invest in anything if you decide not to trade because you are afraid of losing everything, then you will never be independent.

Not necessarily - some of them are experienced traders or at least know how the market works. Don't assume that the 90% of traders who lose money from trading lack information about what they are trading - but you have to admit that crypto price volatility is very volatile.

Of course I agree that some of them bet on luck - like just buying hype coins and then being abandoned by their investors. We have seen many cases of losses including meme coins and the like - but trading for them still exists.

Of course, feeling too worried/fear isn't something needed in trading. It will bother our motivation and optimism about our future in trading. I think we shouldn't feel too worried/fear if we have sufficient knowledge and experience in trading. Moreover, if we already master the technical and fundamental skills. It must boost our optimism/courage. Although trading isn't an easy thing, we can deal with the challenges if we have good knowledge and experience on it.

There is nothing wrong with study too often.  ???
Sure, learning much doesn't always guarantee the profits. But by learning much, it can increase our knowledge. This will be very helpful in the future, it surely will rise the chance to get profits. Regarding the evaluation of our trading activities, it is a different thing/matter. I agree it is needed, we know the most effective strategy to use by evaluating our trading activities.

It depends, It can be motivation to some people while trading and  to others it's not.
Fear prevent your inner strength to be triggered, the moment u are afraid then that aspect will be lacking (inner strength). Trading have two face either you are profitable or you are at loss. But the most important thing is that in every trade you have taken you should know the reason why it goes your way or against you.

However, having fear automatically tempers with your psychology which inturn leads to you taking irrational trades be it experienced, knowledgeable and beginner.

This is very well said. If you are afraid to step out of your comfort zone, nothing will happen. Take the risk or miss the opportunity. That's it! Famous businesses won't be known by today if the owners of it let their fears govern.

Life is a gamble, so let's play it well and wisely!

Well, I respect your post if it's really fear that motivates you to learn. But as far as I know, most of those who are fearful end up losing a lot of opportunities to make profits  because they really think they can't handle its risks. Until they experienced on their own, that's when they realized that they have to overcome their fears or else they won't be successful in the end.

However, for me my motivation to learn is to acquire limitless knowledge and gain financial security in the future. With adequate knowledge, I know I can overcome my losses and start maximizing achieving profits.

My motivation happen to be the fear of begging for food. I Find myself in a land where I hardly speak the local dialect and can sometimes find it hard to relate with the indigenous natives of the land.
 Where it is worse is having to go hungry or broke without anyone even noticing. I had to take my chance with this forum and cryptocurrency in general to better understand financial independence and control of my funds.
For me, that's been my motivation. To be independent and financially capable of solving my own challenges and bills without begging for arms or food to survive.

I also believe that most traders who lose in a trade are not because of lack of information but rather lose money because of miscalculation while others are due to excessive greed that prevents them from selling in hopes that they can sell them on an even higher price.


I experienced this kind of thing, due to a lack of fear of the possibility of scams and rug pulls, I often buy hype coins, which end up me bag holding worthless shit coins in the end. :D

I must say, you’ve got the right idea for the subject.

Most people view fear for a signaler to stay away, don’t go there, it’s scary, your going to lose and more of those sort of ideas but, that’s hardly the best way to use fear. You don’t get much benefits or use from fear if all you perceive it as is that, you abstain from an activity. For shirts, you might escape some undesirable consequences from not doing it right in an activity but,

Fear should rather scare you into taking all the necessary steps to ensure you do it right. To evaluate every move before you execute and not make an error in your steps. That’s how you use fear, you make better plans with fear of loosing and not by being way too excited about an idea or innovation.

Fear is a common thing in human nature, but knowledge is an effort to make this fear into a motivation to move. Talking about trading or investing, we will always be faced with conditions of loss or profit and we will get or avoid these two things by learning how to do it correctly. Although trading does not always provide profits, there are times when we have to know how to do it correctly and there are ways to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

Being addicted to trading and experiencing frequent losses is annoying and will have a bad impact on our psychology. However, can they escape the problem of continuous losses because if they experience losses but in the next trade they make a profit, that is an event that often happens. I'm not one of those people who do day trading, but as far as I know trading will be quite difficult to do because we have to focus and continue to monitor market movements and need to concentrate in carrying it out.

Fear is a something that you need to eliminate to be able to handle some potential things in your life, because fear has made many newbies to loss their capital in a particular projects because they invested with fear and ended up with pain. I know, my crypto professional in the community today pass through this stage of fear in their life as a newbie that made them to learn so many things that will help upcoming newbies not to allow such thing to last in their mind whenever they want to trade their coins. The easiest way to control this fear is to know your target in crypto market, because once you know the particular price the market price will reach before you can supply , it will really help you to acquire a lot of incomes from your investment.

Having fear in making transactions and investing in the crypto realm can be said to be a trait that must always be in the mind of every crypto investor. Because I also agree, that fear can indeed be a very good motivation. Because with fear, we as crypto investors can have a very strong urge. So, having fear when investing or trading in crypto is necessary.

But even so, in my personal opinion, there is also fear
can sometimes have a negative impact on crypto trading or investing. Because if, for example, the fear has exceeded the limit, it will most likely cause fear and the courage to make decisions will decrease. Simple examples like:

• Afraid of missing out on the momentum of a crypto asset that is experiencing a price increase.

• Continue to have excessive fear, sometimes crypto investors definitely feel anxious when they want to buy or when they want to sell crypto assets. Because is that his stance or decisions are always shaken by fear.

So in conclusion, everyone should always have fear. Including people who work in the crypto world too. However, the amount of fear must be at a normal level and not excessive. Because if the levels are too excessive, the impact will definitely not be very good.

It's understandable to have this fear for newbies because they're not familiar how trading/investing works. It's a human nature and probably majority of us also experienced this when we're just a newbie in crypto.

Therefore if you're afraid to lose your capital, do something to avoid it. Fill your mind first with knowledge, it's the basic thing that a newbie should do. It doesn't guarantee that you'll not face losses in the future but it's the key to maximize the possibility to gain in your journey rather than losing your money. Sometimes losses are inevitable but that's how you can learn a lesson, if you failed use it as your motivation to improve.

I  don't think fear is a motivation in any way cause it only stops you from calming down and making logical decisions.

Ok, it's a feeling we all feel as humans and it's unavoidable sometimes, yes,  but letting fear drive you and doing things regardless of fear are two different things. One makes you a coward and the other makes you brave. You must really understand that knowledge or no knowledge there's going to be losses. That's just how the world is, but with knowledge, risk can be reduced drastically, and with constant practicing, risks can drop to less than 3% making you an expert in the crypto space.

This is so because most of them thinks there is nothing out there to hold unto so in that case they had better remain at their comfort zone to be able to survive till they see  a good source or means of survival. They forget that merely living alone is a risk and in life, it is risky not to take risk because life itself is full of risk and only the ones who dare take the bull by the horn comes out strong and victorious.  Life is full of battles and it only takes the fittest to survive it. If you must make waves in the society, you must conquer fear by stepping out of your comfort zone to make good use of your capacity and capabilities. If you read the history of billionaires all round the world, you would find out that they took risk and they all left their comfort zones to make achievements in life. Until you conquer fear, you would not know what it means to be great in life.

Those who lose money sometimes isn't because they lack the proper information, they are just lazy to implement such available information to build on their self, they will read and still ignore even when there is red flags everywhere. Have you noticed that despite that learning trading is online and tutorials are all over the internet, people prefer to trade blindly without doing all the required analysis in technical and fundamental form.

The thing is, it's not everyone that will learn because they want to have their things the easy and life don't work in that form, you have to give something to have what you want, either by sacrifice or by money.

This fear you are talking about is normal in the crypto space, whether you are a trader or investor, but you know that if there is sufficient knowledge about where you are investing or starting to trade, this fear will be limited, and you won’t bother because you will know how to manage your funds. However, if you go for investment, this fear is not as much as for trading, so you see that trading requires more knowledge than trading, so I will advise you that if you have this fear, you should go for bitcoin investment, as it doesn’t have much risk like trading, so that when you have acquired the knowledge to trade, you can start.


Normally, if you have the interest to learn something and are scared to lose money, you will definitely be serious about preventing yourself from such a loss. However, it’s happened to traders who know they will lose, and that’s why they normally trade a small amount so that even if they lose, they won’t lose, as they know it may be a loss or gain, but what they know is that they don’t always lose; what they gain is more than what they lose, and the fear they have from the beginning is what helps them learn.

I know most people who have fear in them don't take risk and this has made them to loss so many opportunities but in trading it is better before people must take risk their should be little idea or understanding of what one is into. It does not make any sense one is taking a risk and have no knowledge,  I think at this point it is beyond risk but waste of money in trading. That is why I don't really blame people who are scared of losing their money , the fear might be that this set of people doesn't really know what they are doing , so they know very well they have more chances of losing because they have no knowledge of what they doing.

It is good for people to take risk when they are knowledgeable of what they are doing , even if they lose in the first time they will still win in the process of what they are doing.

 Fear has killed a lot of bright ideas, this is due to lack of confidence or even fear of losing money. But then there’s no harm in trying to test one self, after all the only best way to find out is to try. Same way fear kill ideas, it also makes one to be careful in dealing with their actions. Cause no one love the concept of losing and to avoid losing hard earn money especially in this present economy crisis in the country, you will learn to trade with caution and even the zeal to learn more to be better at the job. Though trading is about profit and loss and you can’t always make profit on every trade you make, you should be able to learn from your lost to avoid future mistakes.
  Knowing how to manage your losses is important because it helps to understand the value of your money and how to maximize your profit. Knowledge is power, you need to have knowledge or idea of what you’re trying to involve yourself in and not just following the crowd. So fear should not be a barrier to entry into trading, once you know what you’re doing and you do it well. And you know the importance and value of your money then you will know proper way of managing your risk.

It's true that more knowledge and experience means less risk since you would know what things you should and shouldn't be doing when you are trading in the cryptocurrency market, but I believe 3% risk is way too low and no matter how much knowledge and experience you have, you will still have a higher risk than that, but the risk percentage will obviously always be lower than the percentage of your getting success in your trades based on your knowledge.

If we talk about fear in a financial market or in the general world, you will need to face them in order to get rid of them. So if you are afraid of doing something, you will only feel better about it if you do that once, and if you do that more than once, you will start to feel that the fear is slowly fading away.

One thing i believe about crpto currency is that you cannot let fear lead, why? in any situations you should not let fear win; that means you would panic under most situations and take the wrong decision always.

What should you do? Be motivated to improve your trading skills and discard fear. Not only fear, DISCARD Emotions in crypto currency!

Op, that your fear might be your liberation, most times we learn in a harsh situation, that when you lose in terms of what you mentioned it may help you to know the dos and don'ts in it, the truth is, I don't involve myself in what I don't know unless am ready for it and anything that comes from it, be it good or bad.
I know very well that nobody is an iota of knowledge but before you go into this you should be aware of events that may likely occur or unfold, I think that will also guide you, all this stuff called trading is better to use a smaller amount that won't affect you if there is an eventuality, the world of cryptocurrency is continues process, you learn more new things everyday and unlearn the outdated ones, but don't allow your fear to conquer you.

Experiencing fear about something is normal, but don't let that fear become our barrier so that we don't want to learn so we can overcome that fear. There are many ways we can overcome fear.
We all experience what we feel but have different ways to overcome those fears to survive and develop what we have.

If you want to be able to trade, you have to study and practice more. You must be able to overcome the fear of experiencing losses because experiencing losses in trading is normal and all traders experience it.
So you are not alone in this, but you must overcome that fear and turn it into enthusiasm to master the techniques and analysis needed in trading.

If it's fear specifically subjected to trading we shouldn't underestimate any actions which nervous ppl can be pushed to. Traders can use their fears to make themselves focused on becoming stronger but some ppl don't want to take risks you can't blame them. Fears affecting ppl differently.

Fear related to bitcoin trading or cryptocurrencies? I don't think the person is interested in learning anything because if he were, he wouldn't think to visit this forum after learning about cryptocurrencies. Mate, anything related to bitcoin or other cryptocurrency-related activities should be done with caution because there is always a risk involved, even when trading bitcoin. If you don't think carefully about it, I don't think you can succeed. You see, there are times when you have to stop and ask yourself questions before acting, because cryptocurrency is not what you think it is, mate. You will encounter challenges in every business that will also force you to go to a lender and still lose some money on the venture.

Even though I am aware that losing a significant amount of money in cryptocurrency is an extremely painful experience that no one likes to deal with, the fact remains that you cannot engage in cryptocurrency activity and expect to always make a profit. This is something that new members of the forum should be aware of before committing to any cryptocurrency-related activity; if you cannot bear to lose even a small amount of money, you are not capable of trading or even purchasing bitcoin to hold for a while I don't think you can do anything concerning crypto activities.

Too hard to make a change for someone who has a fear of taking risks. And I don't think this could help someone to be strong and become motivated.
I don't think someone got through this because some people prefer to change their journey to something that they aren't afraid of. For me, that was the best thing to do rather than pushing ourselves to invest/trade where we already know that we are weak and bothered too much. It is just like we are forcing ourselves to do something against our well and for sure, the results are negative and out of the direction.

Having fear and still taking a step is an act of bravery but not everyone can be like you OP,  some people have fear of losing money and they don't have the courage to take any steps that's why they don't ever grow financially, fear is why many people choose to stay away from Bitcoin investment till today.

Some people knows nothing about taking risks, they only know how to serve a bias of a company and get paid every month, but when it comes to putting their hard earned money to risk and investments they will tell you that they don't need it, sadly many people still choose to be like this today.

Fear to lose can't be everyone's motivation to learn, believe me, people use experiences in different ways, something can happen to you and someone and you choose to learn from it and move on while the other person can choose to have rage in himself and find someone else to pay for what happened to him.

Only the bold can survive in this competitive  cryptocurrency environment. Taking risk is more like going the extraordinary doing that which other persons are scared of doing.

Out first enemy to succeeding in this industry is fear, and in conquering it you must have to equip yourself with knowledge that would guide you in decision making in the market so you don't always have to fall at a lose end. We make bad market decisions by investing in the wrong coin as a result of lack of knowledge but when knowledge is gathered through research and self-learning you won't have trouble making the right choice where to be invested in.

This is what I did in the past when I wanted to invest in the world of crypto, I did not know crypto, bitcoin or whatever it was in this industry, but I ventured to put money into it and buy some coins to try to make a profit.

The fear of losing money when I have bought it is my reason to learn more, because at that time I also saw a number of lucky people from investment activities at Crypto, so I explored information related to what I did because I happened to be a few weeks of buying I am in a state of loss, and in the end I get a bright spot on Bitcoin and also the trade and mandatory things that must be known from investment in this industry.

Sometimes fear will bring us further, but this depends on ourselves, how to reduce fear in self become a motivation to learn more.

because everyone who enters the crypto industry may have to understand the risks they will accept. That doesn't mean you have to act stupid and be too enthusiastic. Warnings are also important for us to be more careful. and don't try when we don't actually know anything.

I'm sure it's not that simple to do either. those who already have knowledge and experience can also get caught up in investing. Mistakes in choosing assets often occur, especially for those who like short-term investments in altcoins. they are not without experience or lacking knowledge. However, caution can also help us make better plans. But that doesn't mean you're afraid to start. because starting for the first time is indeed difficult, we are faced with losses and that makes us lack self-confidence. especially for those who invest with finances that are not good enough.

You shouldn't be afraid of anything. If you continue to be afraid that you will lose your money, I don't think that is a good idea for you to make. I will also advise any beginner not to be afraid when planning to invest, but to just inform them the risks involved and how to make a profit. We can't start investing and think we can make a profit quickly; that may take time and patient. You won't lose anything, mate. If you invest in bitcoin, your money will be safe as long as you keep your address private. Since you also know about cryptocurrency already, you won't be able to lose anything. Your fears, in my opinion, are only delaying you; they are not motivating you. Sometimes in order to succeed in this world, we have to let go of our fears and take some risks.

But since you stated that you don't have a source of income, I automatically assume that now that you have started earning, you have put your fear of investing aside to begin trading. In my opinion, you should start investing if you have other ways of supporting your daily needs; if you truly mean to, don't be afraid, the future is very important. You said some of your friends are into cryptocurrencies; don't they succeed with it? If they did; in my opinion, their successes will inspire you more than any fear at all. If they did not lose you can start as soon as possible.

If you let your fear to be your own motivation, then I’m afraid you will lose a lot of opportunities in bitcoin before you will learn to value them. Although everyone has it own motivation to learn, but I think having fear as motivation not to lose, I think you will find it hard to combat it with yourself because losing in crypto in general is already an inevitable part. Everyone will commit mistakes and then lose after, but the good thing is you will also learn from it.

However, whatever your motivation is, as long as it leads you to a positive outcome in the future, then it’s right and valid.

If you can't face the heat in the kitchen, then avoid the kitchen, trading is not meant for everyone but for interested people who understand the risk involved, and are okay with taking the risk, do what you think is good for you.
If you are afraid of losing in this space it means that you are not investing with the amount of money you can afford to lose.
Op,  if you can't take the risk then don't expect the profit because the game is about profit and loss.

Fear is a natural phenomena which no one cannot resist or avoid .however, the best way to succeed in trading or investing in Bitcoin is to have a proper knowledge and holistically understand the concept and the strategies behind it's existence and that might be another guide to reduce the fear of losing your capital .
Investment in other hand has to do with rational decision making (removing doubt ) and the reason is that you have to make a proper analysis on the thing you want to invest and also try so hard to understand the system , the system here stands for the platform you are planning to invest and you actually need to know what is going on in and around the main platform you are intending to invest and that will surely reduce the fear of losing your invested funds or coins .

Honestly, I'm not sure that the fear can be a motivation.
If you ever experienced a loss, you get the lesson to be more careful. You also probably evaluate your strategy, so you will apply a better strategy in the next time. I believe you won't think about fear, it won't bring positive impact on your mind. If you feel fear (scared), you probably stop your investment/trading, you will have no bravery anymore. That's why I personally doubt that the fear really can motivate someone.

Not every motivation can result in a good thing. If the motivation to be rich instantly, it is not the right thing. It is also the same as when you make the fear to be the motivation. It is impossible you will invest/trade with a confident if you feel the fear. You will always feel doubtful because you always think the worse scenario to happen.

You are only limiting yourself if you continue to base your decisions on fear. If you are afraid of taking risks, you won't go far. Fear will only prevent you from exploring.  It is better you invest money you can afford to lose, this will help limit your emotional attachments to your investment which will aid you in trading or investing  effectively. You have to dedicate your time to learning so you will be sure of making informed and accurate decisions and analysis. Acquire all the necessary knowledge you need and trade without the fear factor.

Fear hasn't gone easily but it remains in our mind and the moment it triggers back, that is to say goodbye to our investment.
I don't know how OP thinks that way and make FEAR a reason to become motivated knowing that this will have a huge impact on our decisions. Making this a way to become strong, it is probably never works but it is just a failing attempt as in the end our fear may control our minds and actions. It is better to stop if FEAR exists rather than forcing ourselves to continue because, in the end, we're still suffering losses.

Yes, mate you are right fear can lead to not taking risk but looking to the other side if a newbie who are coming to the crypto space has zero knowledge of cryptocurrency and how it work, Bitcoin, and the Blockchain then how can't be hunted by the fear. I think for the newbies fear is the best thing that prevents them from Losing money. If he has sufficient knowledge then I think at that stage fear is also beneficial for him like you said in the post when you fear Losing the money you will be very careful with that and that's good for a newbie at the beginning. Everyone has their thought but if we have a little fear of Losing money we will control ourselves from greed and much more.

In trading we always try to make profit. But everyone can gain? Of course not. But a trader must first know why the possibility of loss is high and by taking some steps it is possible to reduce the loss. If a trader starts trading after knowing these things thoroughly, he can certainly be able to realize his desired goals. But a trader must take risks. A trader can learn many things but he will not be able to make certain profit. Therefore, there will always be fear of loss, but investment activities should be continued with risk. As any business involves risk, fear must be overcome by courage. If one invests despite the fear of loss then there is definitely a chance of profit.

Fear can be cautioning because it restricts your immediate actions ,it makes you to have a rethink of a proposed action ,it's also a motivation because it brings you to a conflict of choice that is rational decision making.
In cryptocurrency this decision making will enable you to know in exactitude if you can be enable to trade or invest in Bitcoin because the fear will act as stepping force that will enable you to make a research on when to trade Bitcoin or invest in Bitcoin.
Fear can also be hinderance to success because it keeps your memory fresh on how possible you will loose your capital when you want to trade bitcoin especially when you don't have a good knowledge about it .

The opportunity to use and profit from cryptocurrency can lure it into a new and terrifying world. Every moment we have is a learning experience. If I make a mistake, I can go back to the right path. Newbies may feel intimidated at first in the world of trading and investing because they don't know exactly how to get started. To reduce this fear, proper education and guidance is needed for new investors. When people are aware, they can rely more firmly on their projects and stay safe in the face of danger. Confidence and assertiveness can help guide them towards success. You can teach yourself to learn investing and trading, key concepts, market research and improve your financial situation to become more successful in the future.

You did great with your writing and in other words, we should let our fears feed our focus and I’ve also heard of a swing that fear is the first killer of destiny so we should try not to entertain  fear at any point as anything done out of fear doesn’t really end well at all times. I don’t know how best to put this writing but anyone who is Adrian’s of a thing should first learn how to fight their fears and also learn how to feed their focus with only meaningful things and I will never advise anyone who has fear of trading embark on it

Fear must be fought, if it continues it will become a phobia that is difficult to get rid of in a person's mind. People who have excessive fear will never develop in their lives, the fear within them will always be a barrier to doing something new. Fear of loss is a natural human trait, but without the courage to penetrate the limits of comfort you will never experience new sensations that might change your life.
Investment is an action that results in two sides, one of which is a loss that can wipe out all of your main capital. To prevent all the worst possibilities from happening in investing, you need knowledge that can bury the fear that has been gnawing at your mind. Motivation needs to be built in order to get what you should get, learn from experienced investors and traders in the Crypto field, their success in investing started with failure.

The fear to lose whether in trading or investing is actually normal not just for beginners but even those experienced ones. However, if you decide to overcome your fears by acquiring knowledge and skills and engage in varied experiences, then that is a good motivation for you to learn trading or investing in the long run. Fears are already within us, we just have to manage it and control it in times it could serve as a barrier from reaching our desired goals.

Yes, many have fear from losing in trading but eventually, they come to overcome that fears in the end. That proves that fear should only be a temporary emotion, and once you learned and become more capable to trade, fears have shifted into confidence in trading.

Just dont invest if you have big fear of losing.

is the number one key of any kind of investment, Losing is inevitable in my opinion someone here all of them I think feel losing at least once. If you willing to learn from the mistake in the past and learn for future I think you will be fine when the time goes.

When newbies don't want to takes risks or make simple investments because they're scared they can't be blamed. If ppl don't know about investing they shouldn't involve themselves in options they aren't sure about. Crypto investment isn't for everybody.

The fear of losses or FOMO drives uncertainty it takes time to move in to new tech so it's understandable. If we're learning about something new it's going to take time before we're comfortable believing in it or investing.

As an investor one thing will always come to your mind and that's the fear of losing or not even making a profit.
Most time one thing that have made people not to be successful in life is fear, and fear has been human greatest enemy. Where most people failed at times is investing on things they don't know much about or have idea about it.
I believe in any business at all lossing is inevitable as a newbie or a long time investor in such field be it crypto investment or other businesses, but the ability to ask questions and learn from those that has been into it will eventually be of help but the fear will still be there as a newbie though.
But it's advicable we invest into what we know more about, even if we lost we learn a new thing and do better as time goes on.

You understand that fear is not a choice, right? One doesn't fear things because they want to, but because they can't help it. I understand that one shouldn't let fears cover their mind and make one lose focus on their goals, but one can only do that if possible.  :)

I've never seen a person in my life that entertains their fears, it's just that they can't let go of them because it's not easy. Do you think you can be able to forget what terrifies you just like that? It's easier said than done, so we can just write certain things but they are not easy when we try to do them.

To me, these are not fears, and anybody practicing them is just like you are preventing yourself from losing in whether trading or investment, which is the best thing everybody should do because without the knowledge, there is no way you can trade, and the same thing applies to investment: if you don't have the knowledge, you will lose because you won’t be able to know how to manage the risks that involve trading and investing in bitcoin, so I think it’s good that you learn before you trade, so it's good to fear sometimes so that you can prevent yourself from becoming a victim of any negative thing that is associated with that thing. 


Even though losing sometimes is most common in business, we can’t stop fearing, but the only thing is that the fear should not be too much because if we fear too much, we won’t be successful in the things we want to do, but still, in some cases, there are things we should be scared of so that we can prevent ourselves from being harmed by such things. 

If fear can only motivate a person to invest and hold bitcoin then the stories we hear about fear of the unknown when investing will not exist, people sell their bitcoin due to fear of the price cause what else will stop someone from holding bitcoin, if an investor start developing fear when investing the investor will have to sell cause when there's doubt an investor can't focus on accumulating rather they'll channel all their attention to selling. If what you wrote worked for you then you're lucky, in my opinion don't hold bitcoin with fear or rather don't accumulate aggressively with an amount you can't hold for long.

Fear makes people hold back from everything. Those who are afraid to move forward in life cannot move forward in life. So remove fear from life. If you can remove the word fear from your life, then you can see the light of hope in the future. A man learns his life's lessons from loss If he never loses anything, he will not learn very quickly.  Whenever a person loses something in return he learns his fastest. As the saying goes, you win where I lose. This means that where you lost, you must have won later. So in life you must have the experience of losing, you are successful only if you have the experience of losing.

As much as I agree with the op, I would say that it's not absolutely necessary to allow fear be the source or reason to learn, why? Because a time will come when you must have learnt something and become confident, does that mean that learning has stopped? Of course not, for we all know that learning should never stop, anybody that want to go far must never stop learning, no matter how much they think they know, there will always be something new to learn every day and every time.

So, based on the above, fear should not be the driver that drives a person to want to learn, the desire to learn and keep learning should be driven by the desire to want to have knowledge, and get better and better at that knowledge, just like someone who wants to learn how to trade, the desire to want to make money is what drives him to learn to trade, and the desire to get better and better at trading, so as to make more and more money, is what drives him to want to keep learning and learning - people should not allow fear be the reason behind their desire for knowledge, most especially in this space.

I couldn’t agree more. Fear is a negative emotion and anything that is driven by negativity will result into a negative outcome. Do the reverse instead. If you want to learn, do it because you love investing and trading with bitcoin and because you’ve seen how others benefit from bitcoin. Learning bitcoin is not only for our personal goal, but we can also help its promotion if we are knowledgeable enough to spread topic about bitcoin.

Fear is a factor that encourages people to withstand any harsh system. Just like they say " sufferness doesn't kills you but makes you stronger" fear and failure is the key to understand and correcttion of the past. Those whom did mistake previously has corrected themselfs in the future due previous mistake and failure. Those who never use fear or failure to lean, will never know new things. I have also learn something from my past mistakes. Trading to me is just like a waste of time and effort because it is very risky, but I wouldn't use because I don like trading and discourage others but trading has a higher risk if you are not an expert in trading.

The word FEAR is the worst enemy of man, it negativity hinder many breakthrough of human, though when surmounted by courage make one more bold and bring difference from others that could not take such step

Fear is a progress step director, you can never know how important what you fear will fetch you until you take the bold step and achieve it, them it become motivator to carry on others.

One who minds is made of fear has limited itself on any goal of success, conquering fear make you outstanding in any life pursuit.

As humans fear is natural when you're faced with uncertainties, despite how brave you are there'll still be that small fear of losing, but it's important not to let that fear to control your judgement. I think that it's ok to have a little fear in crypto trading, because despite your experience and knowledge, the trade can still go against you, so that little fear can make you not to become over confident, and take necessary precautions in the trade. I however think that after a learning stage, confidence should take center stage, with a little fear to remember to be cautious.

Fear really needs to be eliminated within each person in any way, because some people who still haven't succeeded in erasing their fear within themselves will definitely look for ways to do that properly before doing other important things to become successful like most others. I also agree with what you say that fear is a bad thing that must be eradicated within ourselves so that the steps towards success can be smoother and no longer hindered by that feeling.

This must be removed slowly and gradually because basically it is very difficult for some people, because fighting fear on your own is actually not easy and you need help or methods from other people so that there is special enthusiasm and encouragement to eradicate it slowly. Moreover, not everyone can grow their sense of courage in an instant if there is no one who wants to motivate them well every day.

Every individual has it's own risk tolerance level, it might not be necessarily fear but risk tolerance level that varies from one individual to another but at some point in ones life some risk are worth taken based on confidence and in most cases it is even more risky not to take a risk, let the excitement of succeeding be greater than the fear of lossing out.

Fear has limited you to staying at a safe point without having the courage to do something more risky. Cryptocurrency investment is very risky because it has high volatility, fear will kill your courage to make Cryptocurrency an investment. Fear should be used as a motivation to profit from this highly volatile industry. When you want to start walking on a sword that has two sharp edges, the courage to take risks will give you the opportunity to achieve greater profits.

You will never become a successful trader or investor if you continue to stay in your comfort zone without the courage to step out. The comfort zone is like a turtle's shell, safe and free from danger, but you won't be able to do many things in there. You have to get rid of fear by learning something that can give you encouragement to deepen your knowledge about what you want to do about something profitable. Apart from that, learning about trading and investing will help you recognize the advantages and disadvantages of Cryptocurrency.

Walking on sharp edge swords requires courage if you're investing large money. Don't believe isn't worth starting the journey to new financial worlds if you're investing small in the beginning. It's better to invest carefully because it means you're going to absorb the loss if you're facing trouble.

Your thread title at OP is the best way to actually learn. It’s a more better way to utilize negative energies or skepticism to be more profitable for you. Instead of letting fear scare you away from your goals, it should serve as a guide, a to avoid that would push you to be more careful about the steps you’re taking towards a more positive investment. Fear is useful that way and if you’re able to view and use it that way, you would excel.

Some people just gets these fears and jump ship but, you fail in your quest as well. You might have avoided the loss in the likely event that, that would have been the result but, you loss the lesson that could have been learnt and if there was any chances of success, you’ve lost that too and could never know less you try.

When we make a mistake and when someone tells us that we are wrong, we do not make the same mistake a second time, but when we do not realize our mistake, we keep making the same mistake again and again. If we lose money by investing once, we will understand our mistake so that we will not make the same mistake later and we will learn about that mistake. Every time we make a mistake, we have to learn from it. By seeing ourselves making mistakes, we can catch our mistakes and work to correct those mistakes. Many people get frustrated when they make some mistake in work, as a result of which they get no motivation to work, but if they make a mistake, they should move forward with motivation from that mistake.

if you have someone to correct you when you make a mistake, then you should be lucky and then listen to the person, There are consequences for those who don't listen to people's advice, and that is one of the things that is killing a lot of people now. When he takes fear as his motivation to learn, that is good but at the same time, you have to remove fear to be able to make some amazing profit and that is why it is better to learn before you start anything. So when you are in the system, your target will be to take risks because if you are too conscious that you don't want to take risks, then you will be limited to making good money and if you are too conscious, you can not do futures.

And there is no way that you will go into anything and you won't make a mistake it is not possible The only thing is that when you make a mistake, you should learn from it and not repeat that mistake. That is how people survive. and from the result you are getting, you will know whether you are doing a good job or not. If you are not getting any results, then you have to look for other means because if you are trading, there should be improvement.

However, it is still not ideal if we only rely on mistakes to continue to develop. We still need evaluation for every mistake we make. Honestly, everyone will definitely feel tired and some will leave cryptocurrency if they experience too many failures. Not everyone has a strong mindset, so this is definitely normal for some people.

I have a more reasonable idea, combining what was written in the OP and also your opinion. By balancing fear and also learning from mistakes, our trading strategy will evolve over time. There is no need to lose a lot first if you are still in the learning stage, and when the fear of cryptocurrency has disappeared, when your body is filled with confidence, then there you can start to find an investment strategy that suits your character.

My greatest fear is losing in life and having nothing to show for all I've worked for, this is why I don't relent on a single solution, I always like to learn new things everytime, I have a lot of fear in me, but not risking when I should is one of those fear, I want to lose money to gain a greater knowledge, I am not scared of doing this and making all the mistakes, but I am scared of losing after taking all the good and bad risks.

While growing up I was surrounded by group of people who only knows how to bully with the words of their mouth, they are only good at discouraging and looking down on me, my father was the only one I could not forget for this, he gave me the confidence a child needed from his parent.

When you are scared of something, it becomes your master, if you want to get rid of the fear you need to face the fear, or else it will become a part of you that won't let go easily, and the more longer it takes the more powerful it becomes, face your fear.

That's right, everyone has some sort of such fear especially when it involves money because others are not rich and have a limited amount of money to spend on their investment, they should really consider taking all the necessary actions to prevent themselves from investing in the wrong project or at not the right time to buy bitcoins. All of these things require proper knowledge in order to minimize your risk of losing your money. it's ok to have such fear and when you overcome it, it becomes a joyful experience which will lead to even more trying other investment methods that will increase your chance to be successful in your crypto journey.

Fear, Anxiety, lost.. All these are natural occurrences, there isn't a single person who doesn't pass through some level of pain, lost in his/her life time..

Sometimes fear is the courage you need to learn

Some of us want to win at all cost no matter what it takes and also so competitive when they need to win which is what pushes them to win while some of us fear loosing or failure and the fear of loosing is what drives them to work hard in other not to fail..
  Sometimes the courage we need is fear
   
Few years ago, a friend of mine told me about a cryptocurrency and asked me to invest when it was still very cheap but I was doubtful and failed to investment.. Fast forward to today, the price of the cryptocurrency has skyrocketed..  that situation thought me that fear shouldn't limit me..

I guess everyone has the fear to lose when it comes to any investment and when it comes to money involvement. The important thing is you need to overcome your fears and turn into a good motivation instead to be more good and responsible not to lose from your investment. With that, extensive research and study are a must in order to be knowledgeable on such investment and won’t fall to any scams as scamming can be part whenever you decide to invest.

It's even fair when someone is scared of venturing into something new that they aren't used to and keeping quiet to observe it than spreading FUD about what they know next to nothing about. I've friends and relatives who are like that. Rather than study or learn they would feel happy badmouthing it. It's dawning on some of them now that they would've ventured into the crypto space when it was brought to them. Though some are getting the hang of it now as late bloomers. Well, it's better late than never. At the end, we all get to come to the knowledge of truth that everything we do that puts food on our table come with a certain level of risk. No business without its own kind of risk.

Good job OP. Not all people are capable enough to turn their fears into an asset, and to easily overcome their fears because their calmness and confidence are bigger than their fears. However, for some beginners, fear is one of the most negative emotions that blocks them from being successful in their goal. If they are carried away by fear, they will resort into missing their opportunities to learn and regret them later on.

But for OP, fear becomes his biggest weapon. But there’s no reason to keep the fear as your motivation to learn, because as you go on learning, knowledge and confidence will develop that will lead to achieve what’s your main goal in the market.

OP's received advice which's going to keep him awake for long night so he needs a break. I'd like him to post about the best advice he's read.

I agree with this idea. It's good to take time to watch and learn about new things before deciding what you think or sharing wrong information. It is okay to feel unsure about trying something new but it is important to be openminded and ready to learn. In the world of cryptocurrency it is never too late to begin and understand the risks and rewards. Taking careful risks is a normal part of starting a business so it's smart to know what you are getting into and be ready for anything.

Sometimes fear of to lose is the best way to go about something,  let's use memecoin for example.  If a new project enters the market some people starts investing in it without knowing about it if it is good for investing. Fear of losing does not mean that one is skeptical of going into something but it really means observation to really know about some thing. Their is nothing bad to observe if something is worth investing in. Many have lose so much money because they failed to observe, through making research how true and reliable the project is.

Fear is always their when one have no idea about something and this is a normally feeling humans exhibit,  because when going into something things that comes into the mind is what if this thing does not work . The fear of losing prepares one to know more about something to reduce the risk to lose.

When fear of lose becomes bad is when their is no observation about something or no research, but just be skeptical then it is bad and having an attitude like this can make one of missing much opportunities.

If only newbies know the risk associated with cryptocurrency they won't be needing advise before they conduct their own research and learn extensively. I have seen a post here in this forum were a user was complaining on how his friend lost his coin by misplacing his mnemonic seed which he taught was not important. How can someone get into crypto and creat a wallet without knowing the importance of seed phrase. The entire story just tells that the person who lost his coin is either an illiterate or he chose to be ignorant to the importance of mnemonic seed, because as far as I'm concern, if you read about wallet they will definitely explain the importance of seed phrase. So learning is the only way to survive in the world of crypto, those who are able to fish out scams and hacks, it's because of the amount of knowledge they have that prompt them to identify those threats easily.

Sometimes we need to force ourselves to get motivated to keep doing what we help us get to the next stage.
There are somethings we might be doing that we need to ask questions from people that has been in the system for a longer period of time. He that ask questions will not miss their way. It is good when we are always confirming what we are doing so that we don't think we are doing the right thing not knowing it's very wrong. We ought to focus and do things that will contribute to our growth.

For a crypto investor or trader fear is a thing that should be eliminated from one of the qualities they possess because fear will be a major drawback to becoming a successful investor or trader. It is good to be conscious of one’s investment and fear not to lose them but fear shouldn’t influence your decision making. With fear you would miss out on certain opportunities to maximize profits so for an investor or trader to be successful he should be able to face his fears.

A trader who doesn’t have any knowledge about trading is just getting himself ready to lose his money and those who fear are still likely to lose their money because no matter how careful you are losing in trading is constant since trading is a 50/50 business but knowledge gives a person more confidence because he will do is take calculated risks and try to minimize the losses.

Though mistake is not supposed to be allowed to occur but it is inevitable, life has made it to be so because no one is God, the ability admits your wrongs as human makes you reasonable and put you on the right track, in crypto their are moves that we consider as wrong move but that shouldn't hinder us from concentrating on the journey, in the really life too mistake happens often and continuously but this period should be a time for a good learner to assimilate some events into his head to avoid reoccurrence, some people give up on their goals because of some silly mistakes filling to know that every good step starts with one mistake or the other.

Most persons that have fear to lose as newbies would most likely not even involve in trading at all, cause such fear can actually cripple you and stop from even taking any step at all, I think passion is a better motivation and woudk last more longer and guide any newbie better into learning about trading.


Yeah I think it's better there are well aware of the risk and accept responsibility for it than been afraid casue that would stop them from going far as traders or even investors, fear would only result to them second guessing every decision and could result to indecision.

I think OP would have better said caution, caution is all about carefulness and would better lead to getting knowledge.

OP edit you message and use caution ⚠️.

In every mistake or loss, there is that invaluable learnings from the experience you learned along the way. Fear is definitely one of those motivational factors that pushes the boundary of winning.

There is this quote that I would like to share- it does not have to be perfect but you need to be consistent. This can be applied in what you just said OP. Consistency in your decision makings on the form of your investment could be the key in unlocking the potentials of cryptocurrencies.

On a personal note, there is also that fear that I experience before. I tried investing into the wrong things (USI TECH PONZI) but I learned lots from that experience that made me a better investor now. As I also reported tons of fake ANNs and projects in the past, that fear of my past is what pushed me to further understand the growth behind all these lessons.

Narrating a real incident of my own experience about the thread: My neighbor named Mr. Milton (pseudonym) is 25 years old. In the span of the last two years, his grandfather died of blood cancer and just two months later his grandmother died of a heart attack according to the medical report. His father died in a road accident before he was a month old, and his mother died of grief just nine days later. Now there is no one to accompany him. He was so upset that he could not speak to anyone for two days. But within a few days, he suddenly started doing everything normally, married his wife now childbearing. I called him and asked how he accepted it he said I learned to live from losing everything and learned to rebuild. Learned to accept my fate and learn to shine anew from here.
So I also think the fear of losing in cryptocurrency should be seen as a motivation to move forward and move forward strategically by analyzing the reasons for past mistakes.

In the world of cryptocurrency, fear of taking risks can severely limit your success. In this fast-paced industry, no coin can guarantee an 80% success rate, and predictions are often based on past events rather than certainties about the future. Trading in cryptocurrencies involves significant risk, and embracing this risk is essential if you want to participate successfully. Remember, no one ever achieves a 100% understanding of anything in life, so if you're committed to trading, you must overcome your fear.

Even the most successful investors and traders in the cryptocurrency space started by taking risks. The early adopters of Bitcoin, for example, couldn't be certain that its price would skyrocket as it did. They took a chance, and it paid off. So, it's crucial to recognize that risk is an inherent part of the journey to success in this industry.

Once you've learned the basics and familiarized yourself with the guidelines of cryptocurrency investing, it's time to push past your fears and start investing. No one knows everything, and you can't expect to have all the answers. Instead, focus on what you do know and be prepared to learn and adapt as you go. By embracing risk and taking action, you open yourself up to the potential rewards that the cryptocurrency industry has to offer. So, don't let fear hold you back take the plunge and start your journey in the exciting world of cryptocurrency investment.

You are learning the methodology of cryptocurrency you have to map out time to learn the advantages and the disadvantages of Bitcoin, many people today who venture into lose or loss in Bitcoin investment have not learn the rudimental bitcoin very well before doing anything so therefore I believe that learning is the highest motivation in anything that will let with Bitcoin but I don't know why some of us does not exercise patient to learn whatever thing that come from cryptocurrency especially Bitcoin

I totally agree!  Fear can be a real downer in trading, but it can also be a valuable teacher.  Like you said, it can push you to be more cautious and avoid making reckless decisions.  I've definitely had those moments where I talked myself out of a trade because of a gut feeling, only to see it go south later.

To me I think that this is actually a good fear, a  fear that will drive you to knowledge first before venturing into an art is very much important, because most people that have fell as prey to scammers or that decided to venture into trading and lost their fund was as a result of not having knowledge of how to navigate their way safely in the crypto industry, so going for knowledge is paramount if you must succeed in this industry, not just in crypto, anything you want to venture into, it's very important that you seek knowledge first, so that you won't be served breakfast, and eaten up by fraudster.

Fear has really cost a lot of people to lose out on opportunities, aside from fear of being scammed, some people also fear of missing out. They FOMO on some potential opportunities, because of lack of information same thing we all have been saying. To succeed in your crypto journey one need to gain the necessary information required. Invest in your self and try and be better at what you’re doing. Rather than waiting on some information from someone who is not even sure of himself. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t ask of  help from people that are doing better than you in the field, the best advice is the one you give to your self. Same implies here, it is better you keep enlighten yourself so as to start making market calls and analysis yourself, so that even when you lose or you go wrong you can make corrections too.
 Having a fear of missing out (FOMO) can have a significant impact on financial decisions. FOMO can lead individuals to make impulsive or irrational choices that may not align with their long-term financial goals. FOMO can influence investment decisions, causing individuals to invest in assets or markets solely because they fear missing out on potential gains. This can lead to a herd mentality, where people follow the crowd without thoroughly evaluating the investment's fundamentals or risks. Such behavior can result in poor investment choices and losses if the trend reverses. To overcome the negative impact of FOMO on financial decisions, it's important to cultivate self-awareness, develop a clear financial plan, and make decisions based on personal goals and risk tolerance rather than external pressures.

In this contest, my major fear in this industry is loses that is because I believe I don't have enough so losing shouldn't be an option. this has made me make better decisions, since I know that Altcoins can be very profitable if gambled with. I fear such loses which have fueled my decisions on Bitcoin.

Perhaps if we direct our fear in a good way we will end up benefiting from it instead of Lossing. but one thing is certain every thing that has a good also has a bad. fear can hinder your decision making if you let it get over you, there are some steps in life that one need to take but when fear comes we tend to run behind the fear than stand against it and make decision.

whenever one feels fear it should be converted to motivation immediately, you could say to yourself, since I'm afraid I will do it regardless then you will find yourself succeeding.

 I trust in that way you will learn your mistakes and try not be a defaulter of the same mistake, this is why sometimes doing mistake is some what good because it will make improve. When you make mistakes you don’t just wallow in the your mistake, and wail away your time in defeat and self pity. There’s a common ground that a successful futures trader has been liquidated about 2 to 3 times, some people even still lose millions of dollars in a single trade. So you see even successful traders even make mistakes, no one is above mistake that you should. We just need to keep a right mentality and be consistent, you already made a good point talking about keeping up the level of consistency.
   Well it could be said that your first fear you overcome is actually the hardest. After you concequer your first fear you get a sense of joy & peace. Most the time you even look back & realize how silly you were to fear it. But yeah fear is a good thing. It's literally an illusion of the mind. We put limits on ourselves which causes us to “fear" but it's only in our mind. Fear can be overcome & when we overcome by facing your fears. Some people skydive to face their fears & that get adrenaline rush. If people can put their life at risk just to face their fears then what does it take you to be restrained. We keep trying till we finally get it right, that’s been the code for me.

Fear is a normal thing when it comes with losses and wins, that is why you have to scrutinize what ever platform you would want to invest in. As technology advances it advances in both the positive and negative aspects of life, so you should invest in platforms with integrity and reviews, and you should make your own researches on your own too to get that self satisfaction.

it is obvious that when you don't have the fear of losing in cryptocurrency investment you will not take a proper precaution to safeguard your cryptocurrency investment that is one of the major reasons we need to learn and the be conscious of our investment in cryptocurrency because so many of us have come here and go empty handed based on the lost their capital and they did not know the routement of the Investment the venture they into, if you don't want to experience losses in cryptocurrency investment especially Bitcoin try to read and understand the more concept of it Before you go into it many people today who is into bitcoin investment and since they ventured into crypcurrency investment especially Bitcoin there have not experienced a mega loss it is because there have a scrutinise the environment of Bitcoin and the examine it very well before then go into the investment.

Everyone fears and commit mistakes at first, the reason why we have to learn as much as we can so that we can overcome those fears and mistakes we have done in the beginning. Hence, learning should be our top motivation in order not to fear from losses anymore. And once we started to be inclined about bitcoin and the crypto space, then it will be easier for us to get rid of those fears and losses because knowledge is more powerful than fears as it’s always the very basic foundation in learning.

If you getting for all of your decisions seems like you are not quite ready for that thing. Into investment, or crypto itself you cannot earn here with only your guess it's all about the analytics and tactics. The journey here doesn't stop once you know one thing you need to explore more because there's a lot of opportunity. Keep learning, grow your skills, manage the risk and if you lose its part of it. Not all the time we are winner in the market. Look forward to your goal and always make a roadmap or path so if you think your decision doesn't suitable at all back on it.

Cryptocurrency is not for everyone, you and I know that. We apply caution in our activities because we're just humans and don't have a clue of what incident could happen next either in our favor or not. We can only become happy when our trades are picking the best spot of the bull season, generally talking about the consistent upward movement of the market. Fear gripped those investors that have taken upon themselves to enter the race without plans, not guidelines but pressuring for solid results.
