Bitcoin Forum

In my almost four years of getting involved (just an ordinary holder and part-time trader, nothing so great actually), I am so sure that Bitcoin can be a major source of stress especially if you bought them at a higher price and then the price made some slide. Now, I am not saying that it is Bitcoin's fault because stress in the first place depends a lot on our perception and how we are managing it. But definitely, we can categorize as a stressor at some degree.

On the other hand, Bitcoin can also be the source of "happiness" especially when the coin is having a great time jumping upwards. Certainly, there can be euphoria if in 2020 Bitcoin can go higher that its 2017 ATH. Bitcoin is known for extreme volatility and it can go from one side to the other in matter of hours and days.

No wonder that Steve Wozniak the Apple co-founder sold his bitcoin because riding the roller coaster stressed him out. (https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/02/apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-on-selling-bitcoin.html)

How do you manage any possible stress coming from Bitcoin's volatility?

Simple. Store your BTC in cold storage such as Paper wallet, Trezor or Ledger then stop visiting the crypto website. In my case. I left my trezor to my relative's house which they didn't know what really it is so that I don't have access to it whenever I'm tempted to trade or sell some. Right now I'm focused on buying BTC using my salary in my job and directly store in my cold storage. Wish me luck that my wallet is in good condition/safe or else I will be fck up my life savings.

Just buy and forget everything.

I'm not getting stressed at all when bitcoin volatility attack, instead I became happy that it is moving either down or up. I like it when bitcoins price goes down because I get to buy more and later on profit more and I also like bitcoin price going up because of profits( who doesn't like bitcoin pumping Lol).

Almost everything in our world is both a source of stress and happiness so if you get used to it it will just be normal for you and won't affect you at all.

very easily! by investing what you can afford to lose.
most of the reasons for stress is when people have a lot of money at stake but if you had something like $10 bucks at stake you wouldn't really stress over it that much.

In any type of investment every investor can feel both stress and happiness and I call it normal.

Been investing here for many years, I think I started in 2015 so I have experience different market movement, the bullish and the bearish and one thing I learn is to always have a short term and long term investment and don't be greedy when the right time to sell will come, just push the sell button and enjoy it as holding forever would never benefit us.

This kind of roller-coaster ride really stressed me when I was a newcomer in the Bitcoin world. I checked on my blockfolio app almost every once in a short while. I was even losing sleep when the price is too low from when I bought them. But after a few years of Bitcoin price riding, it already seems like there are no more bumps on the road. The ride is like in cloud 9. I guess when your eyes are already set long term, you cannot easily get stressed anymore with the short drops.  

I think that traders stress a lot more than hodlers. Hodlers don't expect quick returns. They invest some money into BTC, put it in a wallet, and don't think about it at all for years. Whatever is happening now or in the short term is of no concern to them, they know that BTC will skyrocket eventually, and until that happens — they don't care. It's a good way to eliminate stress imo, just store it and don't think about it.

Yes its true bitcoin give us  stress and happiness. Why stress because if you buy bitcoin on high price then after wards bitcoin dump you can get stress by thinking when the price goes up. And we will get an happiness when we buy bitcoin in low price then bitcoin pump so we happy because we get a big profits.
That is the effect of bitcoin to us stress and happiness.

Engaging in bitcoin, you should already know beforehand the stress fluctuations would deliver. It's either you're happy or you're stressed. If you don't want an emotional rollercoaster, invest maybe in stock market. It's muchess volatile and it's unlikely that you'll lose such huge amounts in quick timespan. But reward is long-term so you should also be patient when investing in stocks. Or just be calm on trading and learn to decide under pressure, assess the current situation and factors that may affect the price.

Indeed, we can easily get stressed just thinking about the up and down of Bitcoin but it should not always be the case as we can choose not to be. There are many ways we can stop the stress to be affecting us like establishing a solid mindset and orientation on Bitcoin -- just knowing what you really want to accomplish with it and by knowing that Bitcoin's price movement is beyond our control...so why fret over something we could not do anything?

Aside from that, I am also doing some meditation and regular walking exercise and since am into farming the presence of plants and animals can make me so relaxed and happy. Our life should not be revolving a lot with cryptocurrency and I am sure that we also have other interests...this can definitely help.

Let us not get worry on Bitcoin, let it worry itself.

When investing, I try to remove my emotion from the process. The volatility can make anyone who isn't prepared go crazy. If you don't have strong hands to hodl through the shakeouts (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4808248.msg43375600#msg43375600), you'll easily turn into bitcoin hater from a bitcoin supporter.


This is difficult to do but it's an effective way to remain stress free from bitcoin volatility.

The best way to deal with stress when asset values decline is to let them go. Sincere in the sense that we accept and understand the risks that we can get, and we are ready if something happens. Therefore, understand what an investment is and your purpose to enter the crypto world.

First of, decide whether you want to hold it short or long term. Tbh, holding it long term could give you less stress as you wouldn't bother about the volatility thus you're confident that ten years ( or more ) from now bitcoin price cannot be afford of an ordinary people.

Do remind ourselves that we're lucky for knowing bitcoin this early.



But don't forget your private keys, lol!

Bitcoin is business and business either gives you some sadness or makes you happy at some point. So if you understand the way risk is, you wouldn't see bitcoin isolated from such aspect of life. We trade to gain, at sometimes we have losses.

But we have to call it a normal thing because the price of bitcoin goes up and down, so don't panic, you have to be patient in dealing with this, when bitcoin goes down, many investors are stressed by the severe downfall, so our patience must be arrested and bitcoin is not like slow altcoin its rising, but I believe bitcoin will quickly grow quickly.

As you said stress and happiness are different from person to person. One man's stress can even be another man's happiness. However my recommendation to avoid being too stressed about your Bitcoin positions is first to be clear what do you want to do. If you want to just invest in Bitcoin, then put your funds in it and don't look back with regret. If you invest on long-term there is no reason to check the price each day, week or even month. On the other hand if you decide to be an active trader on Bitcoin like a day-trader does you should have clear risk management rules, thus removing your emotions from the game. Also whichever strategy you choose be sure to risk only an amount that you are comfortable with risking on a volatile market like cryptocurrencies'.

Being stressful with the current price of bitcoin will not bring you anything good. Worrying about its price is always there, there is nothing wrong with that. But the thing is, we should not stress ourselves.
It's normal for its price to fall, the crypto price will never become stable, and that is one of its advantages.

Just stop looking at the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin's volatility is one of the reason why it is profitable and also it is the reason why it gives stress when you see the value flactuating or if you missed an opportunity to earn.

Don't put much emotion on the market and just grab all the opportunities to earn. Bitcoin or the whole crypto in general can give you roller coaster of emotion, but I believe it can change your life if you know what you are doing.

It's a proven stat that a lot of investment bankers and traders suffer a lot of stress throughout their working hours due to how busy they are and how much money needs to be made.

Same can be said for bitcoin, probably more so since the markets will never close, there's been news stories made that showed how stressful trading BTC was and how people woke up in the middle of the night to check prices

Bitcoin's volatility, affects us emotionally. Like every time it changes, our mood also changes. But actually, I don't stress my self much with bitcoin's volatility. Even in the first place, I know how volatile bitcoin is so I have to prepare, accept it, and manage my emotion with regards to its sudden change of price. I entered this market, so I have to adapt with how it works. I know its frustrating when the price suddenly decrease but I can't do anything so I'll just have to wait for it until it recovers. Always think positive even when we're at the bear market. It's not like it'll just stuck there forever.

I agree. HODLING in the long term is difficult and only for people who are extremely patient like me, but the big plus point is the low stress involved and the possibility to earn big money without putting in a lot of effort.

Actually, its volatility is a double-edged sword. It is possible to earn in a big way thanks to the volatility factor, but more consumers will embrace BTC if its value stays stable over a long period of time.

That is true Bitcoin can make us be stress, i don't know if after buy it always looking on the chart, preparing for bad condition like crash in minute.
But there is not only Bitcoin in every aspect i think can make us stress, like buying new car, you maybe scare if someone give line with stone in your car.
The only way is always calculate how much you ready to lose, every my investment now is based with free money, so if Bitcoin for example have no price $0, i don't too much stress about it. But if get jumping with the highest price i will stay calm and say thanks God.

With the amount of money that some people invest into Bitcoins, I am not all that surprised when people get all stressed out when the thought of maybe them losing their investments cross their minds. My advice to them is that they shouldn't invest any amount that they are not prepared to lose am sure that will bring their stress levels down.

Despite having very little and insignificant crypto holdings, I always think positive, optimistic and hopeful believing that Bitcoin and other notable cryptocurrencies will eventually have their own place in this crypto revolution in the long term  and I understand that there is no sense in feeling very anxious in its everyday price volatility! Instead, we should divert out attention to things that are important to us and also do  things we love, like spending quality time with family, reading books, etc.

I also think that we should always upheld our sense of enthusiasm and in this way, we live a life with less worries and stress and no matter what happens, we should control our greed and let the cryptoverse take its due course! "Hopes springs eternal". :)

I don't feel that it will bring me stress to see the volatility of bitcoin price because I can accept the risk when I knew that bitcoin price is always moved. Without taking the risk, you will feel stress, and you cannot survive in the bear market, and you will lose your bitcoin too because you will sell your bitcoin if the price is down. You need to calm down with everything happenings in the market so you can reduce your stress and you will have a chance to recover your losses.

there is one more thing in a man life which cause almost same emotions of stress and happiness. a Wife.
see, a started this word with a capital "W". just in case, you know.  8)

as per your question, I remember that I lived in crypto in 2017. I knew every minute exchange rate for many coins to btc, a lot of deals were in progress and so on..
but once bitcoin went down, my everyday life slowly took over crypto. so yes, I have some btc, sometimes I do some deal, but not stress for me now, and that is really good. it is just a part of life.

I know that volatility in prices sometimes create stress and panic situation when prices go to a very low level but there is no need to worry about this. Think it as an opportunity to buy at low and sell at high prices when bull run hits the market and gain profit which will eventually lead you to happiness.Be optimistic about its growth and try to take risks if you want to survive in long run.

It could be really stressful for someone who holds a large amount of Bitcoin but that is the sacrifice you have to endure in order to gain from your investment, if you truly believe that Bitcoin will make a new ATH then don't monitor the price daily and just use some available tracker Apps that alerts you whenever Bitcoin price surge to be updated since the value of Bitcoin can change in just few hours.

Don't let the bad news ruin your belief and trust about Bitcoin but think that it is only a hindrance to Bitcoin's success.

trading is very fun because I can get a lot of profit from trading, trading must be calm and do not let you be affected by bad news or affected by the situation at the exchange, as long as you can control your calm you will get a lot of profit, follow the movements of rising and falling prices and must take advantage of these movements.

Stress when losing but happiness when profiting so what’s new?all we have to do is balanced both.be ready in Dumping but be aware of Growth to follow

When the market is falling?al I do is not to look in any exchange so I prevent myself from being stressed .because that’s the reason why many are in panic mode because of updating always the movement

If we trust Bitcoin why need to stress yourself!?and for 10 years of existence?we have already seen all the sides and we must understand the routine

You won't actually get stressed if you know how to deal with the changes. Bitcoin is always challenging so it's either you get stressed or enjoy it. In my case, I'm actually enjoying it and I've learned a lot from it. You'll only get stressed if you don't know the drill of when to buy and when to sell. Everything challenges would result in success in time.

People's "trust" in Bitcoin is based on the price and therefore unreliable. If you also take into consideration that people are unreliable themselves when they have money to lose, it's a deadly combination.

Overall, I think that people are never really satisfied.... if they lose they are obviously upset and stressed, but when they profit they are upset too because they blame themselves for not having invested more.

The main problem is that a lot people who entered into crypto haven't had any prior investing/trading experience, so they mess around and lose. Most will lose and leave while the minority profits and continues to stay.

This is really true and I agree with it. Bitcoin was the one who give me financial freedom since before I met bitcoin I was drowning in financial debt. With bitcoin coming into the picture I have met many online jobs that pays bitcoin and that has helped me a lot to pay all of my debts and provide the needs of my family. Bitcoin was my financial savior and it was truly a bliss experiencing bitcoin in my life. But at the same time it also stressed me out since I have less slip doing trading and research and other online bitcoin related jobs. Aside from physically stressed, mental and emotional stress was also there since when bitcoins value was going down my heart beat is racing and I cannot sleep at all.

But overall I am happy with bitcoin.

It doesn't have to be this way, nothing will change the way Bitcoin performs in the market, it always goes up and always goes down, it's how we educate and prepare ourselves before we entered the market that makes the big difference, is has been said a million times, only invest what you can afford to lose, if you have this thought and you are prepared then you have no problem if the market goes up and goes down.

when I first entered into the bitcoin exchange in my country. on the web cover it was announced "Bitcoin trading is very volatile, all risks are at your own responsibility. close if you don't have knowledge, or learn before trading" when I registered and tried trading. that's very happy. because it gives profits quickly, but when I go back to buy and have to fall ... I am very stressed. from then on I learned, and began to understand. so at the moment I trade calmly, despite being down trend and stuck. for believing it will come back and benefit me. waiting for a happy ending with bitcoin.

Stress is not good that you transmit it to your market analysis, because I recommend that you leave a part in Hold and another part of Bitcoin to speculate in the market. Do not be guided by what the Apple co-founder does, it was his decision to do what he did with his Bitcoin, the stress occurs when you are speculating in the market and things do not go well, what you should do is simply analyze the market Regardless of the news, just with your arguments, sometimes listening to messages, watching news or following what an influencer does is bad.

Base yourself on your analysis and your trading plan, I recommend that you do long and medium term trading, you are less likely to suffer stress and have no anxiety to see the price rise, remember that the market is often moved by emotions, and That is what you should realize to do the opposite later, since this is how the whales think.

Setting up proper mindsets before you take your steps inside this market, you should not take part of something you really understand. From that point, learning is a must to avoid stressing yourself once everything is already rolling with your investment. right attitude towards the future success that you are anticipating helps you to be calmed in any market movements. Not to excited, but thinking wiser enough to enjoy your stay.

Bitcoin can make you stress and happy, when price is grow up you will be happy because you get profit but when bitcoin down you stress with lost much money in bitcoin investment. You need to back up your money with other investment when bitcoin down your earning still run with other investment but if you don't have other passive income you will be stress when looking bitcoin of your investment have lower price and you lost much money with bitcoin.

I dont mind the stress as long I gain my profit with my holding.. I do an option which is for my short time investments and long term investments. I divided my funds in to two options so in time I need funds I can choose my short time investment so if btc will up I dont have any regrets because I hold for my long term investment. that's how easy you can avoid stress and negative thinking. just make your own way to avoid it. 

I will feel stressed when experiencing while waiting for the price of bitcoin to rise for too long, but stress will turn into happiness when the price of bitcoin rises.
so stress and happiness will exist in the world of cryptocurrency and occur due to various reasons and problems of each of those who experience it.

Yeah, bitcoin just became part of our lives. The changes of its price became sometimes the decider of our mood or emotion. But it also changes when we are exposed to the volatility of bitcoin. Before when the price goes down, we get really stressed because we are thinking that we will lose a lot of money, but because of experience, we now seize the opportunity to buy bitcoin at low price so that when the price goes up, we will earn better.

All in the right time, whenever I feel stress I just think of those people who mine years ago and did'n bother at all about bitcoin, some use it to buy pizza, some just forget about it and some just hold till they became millionaires without them noticing. See, it relieves me now from stress.

Bitcoin becomes part of my daily lives and with it’s volatility of the price I’m not stressed at all. Rather a chance to accumulate some btc during downfall. When you are new in trading and know nothing it is more stressful seeing the fluctuation of price. When encountering difficulty in trading we can manage it by on focus to earn profit. Also by having confidence in bitcoin and can control your emotions, you will not feel being stress.

All I can is about bitcoin is that it's thrilling to hold, you would feel mixed emotions every year, you could be happy, depressed, frustrated, sad, but beyond all of that, bitcoin is still the one who manage to remove all of that unwanted emotions that we felt in just one swoop. By imagining how much bitcoin could grow 10-20 years from now, it's exciting and scary at the same time.

I'm holding most of my bitcoins and altcoins since 2017 and sometimes I'm having thoughts if I should sell it now, but my experiences keeps reminding to hold because there is a big fortune ahead.

I don't buy Bitcoin from a high price. Instead, I prefer buying when it is far away from a high price. After that, I just store my Bitcoin and wait. In my opinion, patience is the key
thing in this market.

If Bitcoin is your only income and you have no job, then it can be stressful one time and happy at other times.

Basically, if we we're about to worry about the price, nothing will follow, we will just put ourselves into a state of stress, while what we should consider is to worry about the updates and news that is new to a particular cryptocurrency such as bitcoin. In that case, we might have a solution that we can further do to prevent such risk that makes us worry. To make it simple, we should consider the root why the market price is fluctuating.

I'm used to and it's really hard to bother me because of the prices

In the beginning, I think everyone have a lot of stress dealing with BTC, spend a lot of time with the prices, afraid to lose money
But with time you'll lose this anxiety (unless if you are a really anxious person) and if you're here for the long term, you won't care about fluctuation anymore, with patience you'll be rewarded

This is the bitcoin emotional roller-coaster so I'm used to it even if sometimes I want to simply forget about cryptos but then I remember I love Bitcoin and Blockchain and only a weak hand would leave the market now when we're so close to a new halv. If you're a trader the stress is even bigger and happiness doesn't really comes , right ? Especially when we are almost in 2 years of full bear market. Better days will come for sure , we just need to have patience and confidence that Bitcoin will come back stronger than never.

It is a stress if you consider it as a burden. Isn't it better to just hold it, sit back and just relax. Remember, when the price is falling, there is noting to stress about since you did not make any kind of loss until you sell your coins for the lower value. The price is dropping, not the amount of coins you are holding. Instead of panicking, one can take advantage of the dip and buy even more coins. The amount of coins you own will be rising! What I am trying to say is, during this kind of events, instead of stressing out, try to be as much positive as possible and take full advantage of the situation. Even moment can be turned towards your favor if you known what you need to do and what you are doing.

It depends very much on everybody's finances at home, I'd say.
Even if one may have not invested much into Bitcoin and now the investment looks nice in fiat, but maybe it did look better some days ago (or in December 2017!) and then thoughts "maybe I should have sold some" come out.
And I don't even want to think on those that invested money they don't afford (at all) to lose, like the horror stories of those buying Bitcoin on borrowed money.
So even the nice (!) "sit back and relax" advice is not for everybody. And as long as there will be this volatility, some people will always oscillate between stress and happiness.

There are no stress at all for me when it comes to bitcoin aside from not buying at a cheaper price. I have a big trust with bitcoin, it will be good for the future and it will be more profitable for hodlers when they hold more. I’m doing my very best to buy on every dipped, I’m hoping that it will be worth it in time, if you have the patience you will win big.

The stress side of bitcoin to me is the bounty side and the happiness side is when the coin or token is listed on exchange. Since my joined into this industry, I have been happy but my early days made me cry. In those days I lost almost my savings to scam, I was scammed from my inability to check if the project was a legitimate type of not before invest on the project. Am happy with Bitcoin all the way.

the secret to holding bitcoin for a very long time is having a passive income from your other businesses. Bitcoin is a very volatile commodity in order to make your life easy you need to have another source of income. thus, you can forget about your bitcoin investment and stay busy. the stress comes when your life depends on our bitcoin investments and the happiness comes when you invest in bitcoin for the long-term.

Nothing in life should be your "cource" of happiness. It should come from within and if external things affect you so much remove them from your life or re adjust your thinking.
keep a certain amount of bitcoin stashed away and promise yourself you will not withdraw from there and once it goes in it doesn't come out again. It takes patience and discipline.
Even if you don't make much just think of it in % rather then in an amount of value so put away 20% of what you have or earn as your strategy for saving.

How to manage up stress on engaging with Bitcoin? Just simply invest on the amount that you can afford to lose then those stress would go away because you do know that you can accept if ever those investments will be on negative since your ready to lost it up then stress wont really be there
but im not saying its 100% stress free because people would normally react when they do lost up money or seeing their ports going on reds.

Just go with the flow,it might not be perfected or profitable anytime but as years goes passed where you would able to get experience and build up your emotional aspects and foundations which would built you up as a better trader or investor.

You need to understand that the volatility of the market price of Bitcoin is the nature of Bitcoin and nothing can be done about this. Once you understand this, you will not be stressed when the price of Bitcoin rise and fall.  Investment in general can be very stressful but once you get to understand the nature of whatever you are investing in, you will no longer feel the stress.

I prefer to avoid the stress by keeping my funds in usdt and just ride the going up coaster and jump off when it is higher and deal with its downward as stop loss and jump before the bottom.

Don't keep any volatile for long, and you won't be stressed.   

Although bitcoin has been around for awhile, it is still a new venture for most of us. The simple trick or rule is to try and limit your expectations when you buy and hodl bitcoin to expect profit within a short period of time. Some loses are definitely inevitable but one should try and develop strategies to reduce loses that comes with buying bitcoin.

Stress when bitcoin price but happiness when looking bitcoin price grow up, always faced with both situation when become bitcoin investor, you will stress or you will be happy. Both stress and happy we choose with our hands because we know when correct time to invest with bitcoin and when have to sell bitcoin, if you don't know what is the best time maybe you will lost your opportunity to buy and invest your money with bitcoin and always faced with stress moment.

Exactly, those who are expecting too much and greedy are easy to disappoint, so we should not expect too much as crypto has been very volatile, don't stress out yourself when you are seeing downtrend in price, it is normal in every aspect that a currency also have a downtrend even stock market. Let's just take those upside down as an opportunity to buy and sell.

if you are real crypto player, you should not shocked when the price under rate, except you are new comer. for expert, they know when to sell or buy coin, its not exact and always gain profit, but they know how to keep their mind, so when the price under rate they feel and think to search the other place to gain profit

My principle, do not overload the mind. We already know that bitcoin is very volatile, so if we are too ambitious on the target and have to make a profit, it actually makes it more stressful and of course, affects our analysis and mentality. Bitcoin, whether used as an investment tool or commodity trading, should be able to be a means that makes us calm in using it.
Remember: invest, not speculate.
Do the best analysis -> take a decision -> then let it run as it is, if your analysis is right then profit, if not then vice versa, whatever the results are, accept it gracefully.

Seeing the roller coaster ride of bitcoin's price is really stressful but it depends on how you deal with it.

If the market is in bearish trend I dont monitor the price often to prevent myself of thinking negative thoughts (though im aware of what to expect in crypto investment).

When you enter in any investment dont expect too much and prepare yourself for the worse situation, in that way you're ready whatever the outcome is.

That happens to me in the beginning I trade. At that time, I cannot understand how to trade with right and only depends on what I see. I feel stress because after I trade for more than 5 times, I cannot make a profit, but I only lose some money. But after I tried to learn how to trade, I see that I need to search the low price and wait for a while to see the price will increase later. After doing a few times, I understand that I need to learn more about the patient so I can see my chance to sell bitcoin at a higher price.

I know that is not easy, but if we can learn and do that, I am sure that we can eliminate the stress and we can trade without having a bad feeling. While I am trying to make a profit, I see that when the price increase, there is a time for me to see that the stress comes again to me. I see that if I don't sell it right now, I will not make a profit. I decide to sell some bitcoin, and yes, I make those profit. But then, the price increase so high, and that makes me feel sad because I cannot wait for more to get a bigger profit.

That teaches me about patience, control myself, analyzing on how bigger I want to take the profit. After that, I am always trying not too greedy to make the profit, and I feel that is enough if I can get the profit than never. You need to know how much percentage you want to get so you don't chase more and more, which could lead you to miss the chance to sell your bitcoin. You need to understand that you cannot make a bigger profit every time you trade because that will depends on the market itself. If there is a pump, of course, you can make the biggest profit, but if it's not, then you should accept any profit you make.

maybe not all stressed bitcoin users think about bitcoin when prices go down because they believe bitcoin will rise again in this short amount of time, and also investors who invest in bitcoin may be just a few of those who are depressed because they thought of the price of bitcoin last week with prices the less stable they might not care too much about things like that if we see cryptocurrency more and more people want to invest in bitcoin.

I've been into bitcoin for about 4.5 years now and it has never stressed me out.  I know the reason why, too: I never usually own a whole lot of it, plus all the money I ever put into crypto was money I could afford to lose.  But I can see why dudes like Steve Wozniak and probably lots of crypto whales might be driven mad by the experience of bitcoin ownership, because it isn't like holding some blue chip stock that doesn't move much; it really is like a roller coaster at times.

In fact I'm not sure why anyone with as much money as he has would even dip their toes into bitcoin, unless it was a really (and relatively, for them) small amount.  Rich people generally try to protect their wealth instead of putting it into highly volatile assets like bitcoin.  But hey, it's their money.

And I have to say, if you're stressing about your portfolio when bitcoin is going haywire, you probably are playing with money that shouldn't be played with.  I've heard it a million times on the forum--don't buy bitcoin with next month's rent money.  I've also found it useful to not be checking the price constantly.  Usually the only time I check preev is when I'm writing a post in Speculation or am buying some bitcoin in the currency exchange section. 

I have entered this crypto space with an optimistic mind. In the first place, I am already aware of the risk given by this field--volatile market. Even a successful investor feel some stress when seeing the price of bitcoin's tend to decrease and did not have a chance to convert it into fiat. That's a normal feeling. Who would feel great looking at the chart while your btc is going down?

However, let us all remember the phrase,
"There is always a rainbow comes after the rain". Means after the sorrow, the storm given by the market's volatility let us be ready to enjoy the fruit of happiness (the profit). There is always a choice in every action. As for me, i tend to HOLD until the market recovers.

I don't have to stress myself because of that it cannot help me, and besides, it's always a roller coaster ride sometimes it gets up then it goes down so why worry when it eventually goes up, you will just become stress out of something you cannot control.

You put to much pressure on yourself the best method is to let things be and only worry when Bitcoin goes to zero, and besides this is Bitcoin it's not altcoins.

It is a sure source of stress because you invested money on it just like you would in every other business you are engaged in offline, the major reason why you can be more stressed out is when you invested at it's peak, all the early investors are less stress because the price is way above the point at which they bought,
the more reason why you shouldn't inject more than you can afford to loss, anything that has to do with money, investment is associated with stress.
People react to things differently, some don't mind even if they loss money, others do.

At this time my happiness year moment during involved in crypto world it was happend on 2017 but don't mean the happiness will be ended because upcoming years also offering it but indeed rather than other investments options then bitcoin offering more stressed feeling because the volatility makes people fear their bitcoin losing the value but indeed until now if facing downtrend i still cannot manage my stress and it sometimes makes me want to leave bitcoin world

Everyone who jumps into the world of cryptocurrency must be prepared for its consequences. We understand very well the price of bitcoin volatility. Therefore there must be a drastic pump or dump moment, from there the stress or happiness begins. All we have to do is manage our feelings properly, only each person understands himself. Because the level of stress and happiness of someone is different. If I deal with it when the pump may be happy but not excessive, in the sense of enjoying the profit earned naturally. Saving the remaining profits if there is still, now the most difficult overcome the stress that occurs when bitcoin dumps. Just take a break from the crypto world, close all related websites with crypto.Do other entertaining activities such as sports, playing games, singing, watching movies, etc. The point is forget it for a moment about crypto, after our feelings are good. The stress usually goes away, just starting trading activity again.

Stress can be anywhere whether it is bitcoin or not, most especially that we expected too much and now we are expecting a bull run thus, a lot of people would expect that they can get profits  some bitcoin now seems to have a u-turn, it seems that bitcoin's price is not heading to what we expect it to be and that made people get stressed and some even lose hope thinking bitcoin will continue to crash. Cryptocurrency world is known to be  a very risky and it takes a lot of patience because the price is very unpredictable so as investors you should have prepared yourself for everything. If you think you can't handle the price movement and it is stressing you out then might as well get out and find something else to make you occupied.

before investing bitcoin there are always people who say invest as much as you can afford to lose. I think this advice is correct. when we follow this advice we won't stress excessively when the price of bitcoin goes down. because we are ready mentally when our money is gone. and precisely the majority of bitcoin users like bitcoin because of its fluctuations. when prices go down are buying opportunities and when going up is time to sell.

What gives you happiness are the one that can also give you stress.And I believe that it is just normal for us to experience stress due to the volatility of bitcoin. But how do I cope up with stress? Proper emotional management. Negativity won't do us anything good that's why it's better to think something positive. If the value decreases, think of how can you take advantage of it

I've been looking forward to almost five years in crypto so the problems I have with it are beyond my control.

I only regret Steve Wozniak because he regretted selling his bitcoin.

But really we need to learn a lesson so that it never repeats itself. Because as our crypto experience expands, so do the problems that we are able to overcome and if we do, we will surely be the key to our success.

I lost everything in the previous bear market and the value of all my Crypto holdings went down, so I could not cash out into Bitcoin fast enough, so although I still have some activity in this niche, I have now all but given up becoming a  big time Bitcoiner and so have resigned myself to the fact, that although I am a Bitcoin Enthusiast, that is all I will remain for the foreseeable future and if I can get to holding one whole Bitcoin by the time I retire, I will be content with that, but at the moment even that is proving to be quite a difficult task. The loss of our crypto assets and Bitcoin caused a lot of unhappiness in our family so now we just accepted our fate and not so ambitious now.

There is nothing about being stressed if you play it right, by playing right I mean first only invest what you can bear to lose then second when it comes to bitcoin I have seen is it is better to buy them when low and store them away for quite some time.

I am trying to be attentive to the Bitcoin price when I decide to invest. If it is rising for a long time and reaches a high level, I don't prefer investing in Bitcoin. Because I think that it is risky in a situation like that. Instead, I wait for the price to fall in a big amount, then I prefer investing.

This situation is also applicable to any type of investments and not just on Bitcoin. If you see tat your investment or business is progressing, definitely you'll feel happy and you'll feel stress if it is losing. How to manage any possible stress coming from Bitcoin's volatility? Simply avoid looking at the chart! If you truly believe in Bitcoin, you know that it has the potential to be the world currency and major subject in the finance industry. Just hold you Bitcoin and wait for few more years. By that time. you'll thank yourself for buying it earlier than the majority.

Still, even if this is your way on how you handle the stress from bitcoin's volatility and you want others to apply the same thing, this won't work on all of them. We have different capacity of how much stress we could handle or how calm our mind is to handle stress or all of the negative emotions that could be released from our system when a sudden problem came up, for example, you buy bitcoin at $8,000 but it dumps at $6,000 the other day.

It might be easier for you to deal with your emotions but we cannot force it to someone's perspective and do the exact thing you did and turns up well in the end like you.

Ecли чeлoвeк нe xoчeт пepeживaть зa cвoи вклaды,дyмaю лyчшe нe вклaдывaть cвoи дeньги в кpиптoвaлютy. Пycть xpaнят cвoи дeньги пoд пoдyшкoй дoмa. Биткoин этo pиcк и игpa нa дoлгyю пepcпeктивy.

I have one question, why can’t we wait for the recovery of Bitcoin or any other major currency and do things that cause stress (sell at an unprofitable price)? Do you not believe enough that the coin will be above the price mark at which you bought it?

actually there are many ways to manage the stress that we get from bitcoin investments. try to find out where the stress comes from. if you get stressed from the decline in the price of bitcoin, I suggest you not to check the price of bitcoin too often because it will make you more stressed. I personally started trading daily to get profit (although only a small profit was obtained) and also implemented several trading strategies that I know of (such as cutloss, scalping, etc). and I also started to see other coins that have the potential to increase when the price of bitcoin decreases. I did all of those things so that I wouldn't be stressed when I saw the price of bitcoin decrease

Haha BTC is not for the fainted hearted . Or I would rather say the markets are not for the faint hearteds. It's because he might even be holding fiat in his locker but has he ever realized that even that fiat would have terribly lost it's value since last 10 years. Also the decrease in value of fiat is slow but absolutely certain. While the roller coaster ride of BTC is uncertain but fast. The best solution is to stay away from markets. Best use some paper wallet or trezor wallet and just trust the security you have invested in or the second option is the one he did. I think nothing is greater than your health after all.

Bitcoin is like a variable. It's value changes constantly. It's a source of happiness as well as stress. When you have large amount of Bitcoin, it becomes stress. You think what happened if value of bitcoin suddenly falls, you have to suffer a huge amount of loss. So, yes it can be a source of stress and happiness both depending on how much amount you have.

I try not to make hasty decisions. We must not succumb to the pressure of the media and social networks, we must make independent decisions. I think this will reduce the number of stressful situations during trading

It is a source of stress and happiness. Just like the typical businessman that looks for his business and sudden sees the sales aren't going well. As it's lined with monetary figures, you will definitely have that emotional struggle.

Well, I'm done with those stressful days. I'm able to adapt it so that's not a matter to me anymore.

If we are engaged in businesses or investment, we are going to expect a stressful life. No wonder that happiness could exist cause we are about to live it that. Stress and Happiness are just the same as losing and gaining, that is what I've to understand here in Bitcoin and not only for bitcoin but of the entire crypto market. Of course, we are happy if we gain profit but we are stress when we lose our funds, that will always play in crypto and nothing to blame that cause that actually how it works.

In this case a calculation will be a way for us to avoid stress, when we are able to prioritize and predict what will happen next in price changes then at least we will avoid buying at high prices but even though we continue to buy at high prices I think the stress can still be avoid if we have patience and are ready to use a holding strategy for a long time. Stress will only occur if we are not ready with the risk but when you can control every incident of the situation that occurs then at least we will still try to get a happiness even though it looks unnatural.

We only stress ourselves from this market and with bitcoin, if you are greedy then you will be stressed if bitcoin turns down your hope for a while. We have to set our mind right, have the best understanding about bitcoin and invest on the right time, I mean while the price of bitcoin is down, better to buy for sure it can bring happiness  to you on next pump.

Many people are like this in this forum, they are posting every time Bitcoin price is sliding down, these are the people who invested without knowing the volatility of the market, for them, all they know and want is profit and increase of price they attach their feelings on the price of Bitcoin, one year of this I'm pretty sure you will experience depression and heart problems, brought by to much worrying in the market.

By building better money that can scale on-chain. That seems to work best for me.

I think it's best to buy them and own them in the long run and sell them whenever you feel profitable.  I have witnessed many investors participating in bitcoin futures contracts, participating in leveraged trading.  They quickly lost money because Bitcoin's exchange rate fluctuations were unstable using technical analysis.

I agree with your opinion, to manage so as not to be pressured by selling every time you feel profitable, and setting aside any profits to buy more bitcoin will reduce the pressure.

Bitcoin investor in 2017 will stress with bitcoin price today and investor bitcoin on 2018 happy how bitcoin price higher now, many kinds people faced both stress and happy with bitcoin because they have choose investment with two situation lost or profit, got stress or happy after investing with bitcoin and all it depend with your chooses. If you not ready stress with bitcoin price down you can left bitcoin and looking other investment.

Investors in 2017 were really hyped that time especially because bitcoin that time is going on its peak price and the more the higher they invest is the more they lose its value today. They experienced one of the history-changing happenings that happen in 2017 and If they are a true believer of bitcoin they would not sell or bash bitcoin because of its value lost in 2018. We know that bitcoin is still growing and it will soon raise its price again as my speculation.

If you truly believe that bitcoin is the future, buy the dip with fiat that you can spare to not use in the next 3-5 years (even longer).
Better to have some btc as it's historically appreciating vs fiat. And it's really portable, no one can seize your bitcoin and you can send something of value anytime anywhere as long as you have an internet connection.

3-5 years that's really long and that's a good example of long term hold.
When you can hold at that period and you survive, that means you really believe in crypto as the market is very volatile, even in just a short span of time anything could happen, but of course at the end of the day, this all depends on your target.

For example, you bought btc at $8k now, and your target is just to sell it at $80,000 (that's 10 times), and if that will be achieved in just one year, just don't hesitate to sell it regardless if you heard some rumors that it could rise further as greediness sometimes is our biggest enemy.

My source money investment from joining bounty campaign I don't care with how lower price bitcoin later, I can't stress because I use money for investing with bitcoin from free way to earn bitcoin. Lost or not is not really have to disappointed, maybe for other investor sold their house or loan from bank use to invest with bitcoin and price down they will be stress with bitcoin investment.

Indeed! Be thankful all the time whether it is just small amount of money, we should be happy no matter what. Bitcoin will bring us stress and happiness depending on our perception, how much we value and handle it. Everyday is not always a profit day even for day traders so learn to accept and contented sometimes.

Trading is a mix of stress and happiness, but that's life

Having multiple sources of income would help alot. This also applies to other areas of businesses or investments. Many wealthy business owners have multiple companies. If one company stops being very profitable, they continue using others companies. This helps them cope with the little problem the other company is going through until the company begins to be profitable again.
I think you should have multiple sources of income and you wouldn't worry too much about price again

Even if you don't have other businesses or sources of income, if you think you are already stressed by what is going on in the market, it is good for you to take a little rest from it. We all have hobbies that we can make ourselves busy with and forget about the prices, the drop, and the bears. Why not take a short vacation, away from the charts and the screen? For me it is not worth stressing ourselves with the market when we know that the bad days are temporary.

Different people, different situations, different choices, different reasons, it's not that we can't wait for the recovery of the market, the reason is that we have needs in life, we have obligations and responsibilities, we invested our money in something and took the risk to earn money, but we can't always be sure if it is going to give us positive outcome or the other way around. If you are in a pinch situation, your son needed the money for his operation to live, will you wait for the market recovery in exchange of your son's life? I don't think so.

though there are still other ways if we want to save our cryptocurrency, like borrowing fiat to our families and friends and you'll pay them once the market became bullish.

A simple solution to this if you are a long term holder is that just invest your money and forget about the price.
Forget about the volatility and hence there will be no stress to take. Check the price in half yearly or annual basis.
Withdraw the profits and stay happy.

If you been a trader you will not only focus the Bitcoin and ethereum. There are plenty of altcoins in the market and make the returns out of it. If we need to make the profit any kind of cryptocurrency is fine.
Even you will apply it on your investment and then I always take cryptocurrency is a factor for my happiness. When it gives the low value also you need to go for holding.

Everyone is chosing his own way of making money. Trading is an unpredictable result, it is a kind of casino, so stress is inevitable. Everyone who is going to do this should understand that it is hard and steals nerves.

I manage strees coming from Bitcoin volatility by having enough knowledge about its market fundamentals.  Knowing the fundamentals can at leaset secure us that Bitcoin will eventually goes up, this crashes are just a temporary event Bitcoin will push through these difficult times.  Besides, I only use the money that is free and never used the family budget for buying Bitcoin.  Probably that is the reason why I am not stressed when Bitcoin goes up and down, I only use the money I can afford to lose.

I'm not too stressed if price of bitcoin goes down because what that I did from the beginning until now, I only bought bitcoin not with personal capital Other than that there is nothing to worry about price bitcoin, bitcoin can pump high if big news comes so in my opinion just a matter of waiting to time pump bitcoin

You should have and to know the fact that is the reality about crypto and Bitcoin. As living into the decentralized form of market, isn't anew to experience like this but it all went good in the future when globally used bitcoin as another form of currency. It is most likely we experience a huge market change since we are still in the developing stage. Price fluctuation remains until then, but not a big thing to worried about cause it eventually settled down in the future.

Could not agree any less mate. As you said it is about the greediness which will put you to stress if the market starts falling down but if one can think well then the market prices falling could be a good thing as he/she can buy some more coins and store them till the next time the market goes up.

I believed either that crypto trading is also another form of gambling due to the volatility in nature of the market but every investment/trading has its own risk involving. Meanwhile, the volatility in nature of bitcoin is to open for new market opportunity and every crypto traders/investors that understand the depth or purpose of it won't see the stress in the volatility but the happiness in it. 

Bitcoin really bought us the happiness and stress and that what is crypto world becomes more fun! The way we risk in bitcoin is the most enjoyable moment in which we are happy if the bitcoin that we risk our funds jump all out and pump so very high and also makes us stressing when the market including bitcoin dump so bad. For us to avoid stress we must risk only the money we are ready to lose. But for me, I really want the feel when the stress part comes become my happiness and excitement.

Stress and happiness are inseparable in investment and that is what will be experienced, and stress when what is invested is in a state of decline or decline for too long because it waits too long to go up.
and will feel happy when what has been invested has increased because it will be a profit that will make happiness, it all depends on who uses it and if you use a long-term method in my opinion it will not be too Stress because investing without a set time limit and only what is invested is expected to increase the high value even though the risk will wait quite a long time.

You could stress yourself out (in a good way) because it will be worth it always, trust me, always, but when you are going to stress yourself out in a bad way, like not getting over with the mistake you've made where you lost your profits, you're not going to grow, you'll be forever broken that can't do anything about Trading to gain back what you have lost because you are living in your failures.

Instead of stressing yourself in failures, make it your strenght and amber to seek more knowledge that will give you profits in the future.

After 2017 year and great times in cryptoworld for everyone it was hard to accept the fact, that lots of assets and enormous opportunities had been lost forever. And of course telling the truth it would be a real lie to tell that there were no stress after loosing in 2018, but ups and downs it is the life, not only in cryptocurrency world this rule works. So first of all it is the experience it's no doubt. And the main thing is your mental and physical health. It is the most fragile thing I think. If you remember about this no other thing will matter so much. Nothing will make you go mad. Without yourself no money or crypto will have any sense.

Once I secured my bitcoin in a wallet I never bother about it volatility thus I am not stressed at all if early adopters could endure so much and have a firm believe in btc why would I fear when it is dumping I always see bitcoin as a source of happiness when its pumps however whatever goes up must come down thus for the fact that bitcoin is existing there shouldn't be any cause for alarm.

Stress and happiness are both attitudes that highly depend on the perspective of an individual and how he/she does something to turn the tides of his emotion to a more positive one.

The problem with most people who invested in bitcoin way back when its price reached an all time high of around $19,000, they invested impulsively (due to heavy influence of media and hype) without even studying or predicting the outcome in the next few weeks. Unfortunately, people who invested at that price are still at loss even today. Now, how do one approach this kind of situation? This would now depend on how you recover by learning your mistakes and recover them by investing smart. Contemplating about your lost investment would only hamper your growth towards learning.

Every investment you faced with both situation stress and happy, when your investment get profit you can happy but when lost you will stress, every investment have real product or not you faced with both situation, now with bitcoin you are happy when your bitcoin investing raise higher price, but you will stress when your bitcoin assets have down, use your investment source from bounty or airdrop to make you keep happy when price down.

It is very true what you say, Bitcoin has given many moments of joy to tens of thousands of people, but also disappointments, this is a fairly volatile market and Bitcoin is one of the most sensitive cryptocurrencies, if you bet in the medium and long term, you have greater chances of winning

Out of those stressful moments is a happiness once you gain some profit when trading. Although not everyone is a trader but once you choose this kind of profession all of your hard work will pay off in no time. You just really need a dedication to love your work and that's all. ;)

Well Yes, That's right. In bitcoin price, you can experience being stress especially when the price drop down and you need to wait for a very long time for its price to rise up again. On the other hand, You can experience happiness as well especially when bitcoin double its value, In that way, you can be able to earn a profit from your investment IF you can patiently wait for the right time when bitcoin price surge in the market that we are all expected.

I think that the most stressed person is the person who invested more of his money in Bitcoin than he should have allowed him to do so.  Of course, the positive result of investment and trading always brings joy, but using a cryptocurrency business is almost like roulette, and if you bet more than you can afford, you need to be prepared for stressful situations if problems arise.

I was happy around 2016 to 2017, even up to early 2018.

I got stressed out all the way from then till today due to watching all my holdings crash.

I shouldn't be, since all my coins and altcoins were somehow earned and not strictly bought, maybe except those other ICOs I got into in 2015 to 2016.

I guess we should just accept the fact that there is a poasibility that you may lose youf funds in bitcoin because of its voalatility. Stress do nothing, what you can do is to be startegic next time. Maybe you should not refer only with bitcoins, buy other crypto and balnce it. You can have 4 cryptos and balance it 25% each. If a certain crypto drops its value then buy some of it so that if its price back no normal you will have a profit.

Bitcoin has made us experienced stress and happiness with its bullish and bearish season. But if we are able to invest only what we can afford to lose, we will not be so stressful like those investors who even used their lifetime savings just to invest in bitcoin. This is just normal for all investors to get stressed for some time but if bitcoin gets you stressed all the time, i think you should refrain from investing in bitcoin.

your right stress and happiness well this stress triggers ourselves always try continue to conduct market research to achieve happiness ,without stress we will not feel happy and it is normal if we all stress in trading ,the wheels turn in place and we can certainly be happy again by continuing adopt bitcoin

When you're going to make a plan for a business purpose then you have to face both stress and happiness, every coin has both sides, you should consider this one when you are in this type of platform, Bitcoin is more than that because still, it's not a mature platform anymore, so the price ups and downs are a normal case, you don't call this situation as a stress, you have to manage it properly, again you will see a good thing in this platform then you should not be excited too, every moment is important for you, you need a proper plan for the future vision, for me, Bitcoin volatility is getting a normal issue because I've seen as like you almost 4 years, so it has to be taken very normally.

Yes but don't you think it's time for the next level as we are familiar with the constant fluctuations and kinda used to it but on a longer run we still have a long way to go as you mentioned it's not mature enough. Market will become more matured if the users become mature and stop panic selling and believing in fud.

Keep holding in ledger wallet and top opening anything about bitcoin site, maybe when open next two years later price will be higher or pump, less possible next year you will get back your 2 bitcoin, but for five years later maybe possible bitcoin price back above $20k and you can get back your money, why not you sell last two years when price want going down and you just lost little your money than you have lost half now.

Bitcoin is the highest risk investment, volatility or rapid fluctuation is the reason. As you said bitcoin can bring happiness and pain as well. That again, for me volatility in cryptocurrency is a risk, so stress is normal. When I'm stressed out taking time for a vacation is my way to achieve happiness again.

When you are stressed it's best to quit for a while and forget about previous  losses, don't allow yourself to engage too much with such failures as it will not do anything good but only regrets that you failed your position.

Try to cheer up and let those good things to keeps you in the positive side.

oh come on bro , I am one of the millions of humans trapped in the abyss of 2018.
i know exactly what kind of stress what u mean.
but well,fishing on the river.
put my smartphone on the cupboard , i just using cell phone nokia standard when i go everywhere.
stay away from internet is the best thing.

we are now on the year of 2019 and your still trap on the past ? come on dude get out before you get swallowed  . sometimes moving on is the best solution .

i didnt know that stress have many kinds . stress is stress imo


is that a qoute ? or is that your life style ,  i mean are you a fisherman  ?  but the idea of using old phones to avoid internet is good so that you wont be distracted  . if we dont have internet or smartphones , we cant possibly access the world of cryptos which can only give us a stress if we dont like what we see .

Stress and happiness are two emotions than you can experience in handling a bitcoin. Why stress? You can it experience due to the inconsistency of bitcoin; bitcoin fall without any explanation why. On the other hand, happiness, you can feel it every time bitcoin becomes higher.

If you are involved in Bitcoin, especialy as a trader, it's inevitable that you will feel both. You can't escape stress and happines comes as a reward for successful trading and profit.
The key is to maintain the balance and not to allow the stress to become dominant. But for that takes time and experience, to learn how to control emotions and to to hurt yourself with too much stress.
In the other hand the right amount of stress and exciting could be a motivation to move further.

I also had experience a lot of happy moment and decent earnings but vice versa i have also lots of regretful decisions and mind buggling losses.
Having a pause from all crypto related activities and travel out of town just to relax, forget and accept, helped me maintain my sanity. :D ;D

Cryptocurrency isn't really stressful, its the activities and events inside the crypto space that has the chance to be stressful. If you're trading you'll feel more than stress, you'll be excited, stressed, frustrated and anything but then will also feel pleasure due to the good outcome and profit. I usually handle stresses lightly and don't take it that hard so I won't have anything heavy inside me. I'm not letting stress get inside of me and tell me what I should feel.

The stress and hapiness that you can feel in crypto is the same that you can feel in gambling...i dont see so much defference between the two except that in gambling you can get fast stress or hapiness while in crypto you must wait until you see the moves of what you invest in Whether Bitcoin or any other currency and i believ that the profissional trader must make stress and hapiness in his favour and this is the key because even the hapiness can lead you to wast your investments not only the stress

It use to get very stressful and have I had FOMO when I stopped working since I could have been earning during that time. Now I understand that I need to rest and enjoy my life. I found I am more productive when I enjoy life. I can do the same in 5 hours as I would in 8. I work smart, not hard. I set a certain amount of hours aside each day and then I stop. I get stressed when bitcoin starts to drop as well and have even more FOMO since I feel I should have spent my bitcoin more before the drop. I guess I am very hard on myself. I don't know that the price will drop.

Nothing is more stressful than those guys who already have the chance to acquire hundred thousands of USD but tried holding while the price slowly dripping.

If Steve is just as patient as how satoshi is holding his millions in his stash, he would have been a lot richer than he is when BTC beats the ATH. He is already rich and can survive for years without selling his coins so why the hell did he sold it just because of stress?  I'm not buying the truth to this article. Steve as rich as he is must have a financial advisor who could have advised him to keep investing.

That is the mood that everyone gets into anytime that we are encountered with various factors similar to what you said. There is need for us to always understand every moment that bitcoin has brought to our lives and that is the reason why any time we are faced with some of these challenges like decrease in price, we should remember the moment that we have been happy and no that no matter how long the bear market may be, there will always be another happy moment.

Next year will be a great happy moment again for many investors as that will be the year of bitcoin bull run which I think is going to play out shortly after the halving of bitcoin and I think that next year is also going to be the year for altcoins also, so there is going to be so much happy moment next year.

Such influential people do not easily panic and stress just because of the monthly period, they prefer to focus on developing the potential value of assets compared to the current value, if there is panic, it only arises from a few of their investors. valuation of goals and aspects of continuity are still rising, and btc is still in the initial category of assets that are still developing.

I think that over the last year, people who were in the cryptocurrency market will no longer be afraid of falling prices. Perhaps many will learn how to use this drop in prices and will buy cryptocurrency assets at the very bottom.

I would just try to ignore all of the negative news if there is some rumor or any kind of news that could stress me ,
Then I would try to avoid being connected to crypto for a while focus on other things and think positive .

Every user might have encountered it. Very few could have been lucky to get benefited at the right time using the right time. One of my friend who is into cryptocurrency long back perfectly made use of the previous bull market of price reaching ath of $20000. I missed the chance, further on conversation he explained he encountered similar loss in the past and that's the reason he could benefit by then. Most will be the same, and for the same getting stressed is not the right thing.

Its really the combination of stress and happiness. As they say, "no pain, no gain". The we've earned with effort and time is worth to be happy for it. Easy money is like a money in the air. For now, I'm not into trading yet. I just work to earn btc and buy some for keeps. I need to collect enough btc before I go to the stressful game in trading.

With everything in life you need to balance it out. Too much stress will cause you to be counterproductive and not help. You are more productive when you are happy.

It is important to wnjoy ourselves and have hobbies and not always work. Finding that balance is key to happiness. Keeping busy will also keep you happy.

Most of the holders have encountered the same thing including me and you. This past ATH of bitcoin taught us the true meaning ang value of holding a bitcoin, without resisting its current dump, we were not be able to see and experience its success. They say history repeats itself, its no wonder the same thing will happen after a year or more. The thing we should do is to hold and nothing more.

before buying bitcoin, of course we must understand bitcoin seriously. and we also have to prepare mentally. we know that bitcoin has high volatility which makes people get rich quickly or on the contrary makes them bankrupt overnight. therefore I don't rely on bitcoin as my main opinion of investing in bitcoin for additional income. so when I think the value of bitcoin goes down I will buy and after that I will hodl until bitcoin goes up by 50%. and don't see the price too often, it will stress you out, wait until there is good news.

Same thought with me. I think, everything is like a yin and yang. So balance in life is the key to living a happy life. So don't be
too stressed out by thinking about the unstable market conditions like now, do something positive that makes You are productive.
And keep yourself busy with positive activities, such as holidays, do your hobbies and enjoy being together with family. In conclusion,
don't be too busy working, but balance with something that comforts you.

Thinking about the current status of the market and the status of your investment will really give you stress.
Before we invest we should consider this kind of thing, especially the risks that we might face after we invest, if we can't stand the status of the market, we should not invest. But if you know that this is possible, we should not stress ourselves out since we are expecting a profit with our investment. We do not invest just to stress ourselves.

I follow the quotation about "we are always until the market proves you right". Loss is inevitable and is the reason why we should have risk management. I also developed my trading psychology in order to handle stress and manage my emotion very well.

What if you always experience loss? In this case, if you are always treating yourself with psychology, would it be better if we also develop our trading pattern, in order to avoid market loss and to turn the table into profit since there's allot of altcoins to choose from that might provide better profits . I highly suggest to research updates concerning a particular coin before we decide to invest or trade.

maybe only amateur traders or holders are easily stressed because they see market conditions drop so drastically that they feel the decline will occur because it is feared to lose a lot of money that has been invested into it. different from those who believe in this industry, they will remain calm in facing any market conditions because they have strong principles to hold in the long term and can feel happiness if the price of bitcoin is able to rise sharply again like in 2017 yesterday

You are right. I have been watching this market for the last 6 months. All I can say is that Long Tam in this market will be losers. You have to buy at a low price and sell if the price increases. That is the motto of this market. And the temporary loss has to be acknowledged.

To make profit in the market altcoin is not the place to invest, bitcoin is the market that will guarantee a profit in the long run and we cannot say the same with the altcoin market as you might not see all of the altcoins in the market in the next few years but bitcoin will be here, if you are taking care of investing at the right time then there is no way you will lend up in a loss, the market recovery today is a prime example.

Everyday, we should learn something, if we gain today, for sure we are happy, we should learn what was our strategy, once we lose now, we should not stress out ourselves, we should be still happy and learned what have we made mistakes from it. If Bitcoin goes down, no reason for us  not to be happy or else we are just skipping some opportunities.

You might be right, the important thing is we try because if we have tried it will certainly not disappoint, moreover we buy bitcoin after we buy it the price goes down we don't get discouraged because bitcoin prices usually go down only briefly later in the next few days prices will definitely go up again because the market we see today is almost $ 10k, if we invest in bitcoin I'm sure it can make us happy in the future, it's important for us not to get frustrated easily.

I'm new to bitcoin and from the Philippines which is only elite [rich] people only knew Bitcoin and sadly i'm in the bottom of the food chain. Anyway, do you strongly believe that bitcoin is the global currency in your life time? I'm just curious maybe i can label you as maxis... Sincerely, i want you honest answer.

indeed an important mistake when buying at the highest price and it turns out it was a disaster and especially when not aware of bitcoin in an overbought situation, stress arises automatically.

but volatility makes the analysis stronger and it all starts with acute stress. happiness comes when I'm used to the alt/btc/usdt pair. all three pairs have opposite conditions, if we choose to trade quickly in cross-mode, it will definitely make our btc assets tend to increase.

Wishing you all the luck in the world. if its a game of chance, you are taking yours. I like what you are doing and ive taken something from that

For a typical trader, buying a bottom at a higher price is a blessing when bitcoin is highly volatile.  And for a margin trader with a trade of x100 on bitmex it is an extreme stress.  Look at the recent liquidation.  About 181 million dollars was liquidated in a day.  I did not mention the liquidation earlier.

Buying bitcoin into a high price then after a months the price of bitcoin be drop much so we stress on that for sure because we need to earn profit on what we buy in a first place. And the happiness we get is from the bitcoin are going to a price of $20,000. Just like of my old friend he bought btc in a low of price on when the btc pump in a year 2017 he is so very happy on that time. And yes that's the effect of bitcoin so we need to understand on that.

Of course, as the name that you are talking about them, they are amateurs and are just beginning to enter this market, the stress and fear of losing money still dominates their minds every day but after getting used to this pressure, they will get better or worse, they will hide from this market, it is up to the thinking of each individual. Even those who believe in this market, they are not always as calm as you think, they always have doubts about bitcoin and their choices, but almost all are happy when the price of bitcoin goes up, it's a sign of our wealth.

Stress is easy to avoid if you handle the situation well. Just focus on your goal and just think that this is a problem you can solve. And once you overcome these problems you can easily avoid these future problems because you have already solved them!

Bitcoin has been one of my options as a source of income since 2016. There are Ups and downs in the market and my folio can relate actually  :D
It's stressful and most of the time I will hate myself for not doing what im suppose to do.

I wish managing stress and happiness were as simple to manage as you have mentioned but here stress is created by market situation when things don't go as per our expectations so we first need to understand market will have its own flow and we have to adapt according to the situation rather than bursting out or stressing out. If we are emotionally successful in adopting to situation then there is no stress at all.

Activities in the cryptocurrency market are almost like playing Russian roulette.  Today you can be poor, and tomorrow you can own the world.  Or even exactly the opposite, the rich can become a beggar.  A few days ago, I advised my friends to invest in Bitcoin, because such a rapid drop in prices cannot last so long and in just 24 hours Bitcoin soared by 20%.  I believe that speculators and traders changed their stressful state over the course of the day to a happy facial expression.

I stopped day trading because it was affecting me and my depression negatively. I had to sell everything because of cancer treatment. I don't have a job right now. I hope I can get back into the game ASAP, especially since it's been showing an upwards trend recently.

Although God owns the future, but I must also really confess to you that my life has been of an great change ever since I got to know about the opportunities I can take control of in bitcoin, and if not for bitcoin opportunity which I still believe was presented to me by God, I was almost at the peak of my life when I had lost all hopes.

There is no system in life that does not have stress, and I don’t think that the stress that I have had in bitcoin investment, trading and activities can ever be as much as the stress that I have ever had or experienced in my life. The thing about bitcoin investment is that, it can be strategically planned to reduce the level of stress and risk that is in it, but the happiness that it brings after the stress really makes one to forget all the tension that we have gone through it.

It is really hard to anticipate the future until we get there, we didn't anticipate that there will be a thing called 'digital currency' that we have right now, still there's a lot of development and innovation that will gonna discover in the future. So, let's see and we should not stress out ourselves, there's a lot of opportunity out there.

It will be good when we focus on a sure money for our future. Invest for our goal in life and think how we can help ourselves on the future.

We can invest on digital money but don't put at all just have a second option to avoid regretion.

Bitcoin is giving us a lot of feelings depending on the happening. I can say that dump and pump gives us both stress and happiness when the market pumps we are feeling happy but when the market dumps we are feeling stress because when the market dumps the value also of our money is going down. It is moving accordingly to the price of the bitcoin or the cryptocurrency you are holding, to help our selves when these happens we should hold if the market dumps and sell if the price rises up. But there are also other expressions we can feel here like being angry when someone is scamming you and take your money. There are lots of people like that here so we should be aware every time.

I think the best solution to get rid of the stress received in the trade, will be a temporary change of activity. So many ways to reduce stress, but I would recommend physical education, swimming, yoga, running, generally active sports. Focus on the positive aspects of your life.  Most likely in the life of each of us a lot of positive details that we do not notice. It's just that our minds are designed to focus more easily on negative factors than positive ones. Develop the habit of focusing on the positive aspects of your life and you will notice that you live better than many people on the planet. Be grateful.

The volatility of the market should not be taken seriously, it should not be giving us stress though we have an investment.
We should not be feeling that way. We should feel a little bit of excitement for its increase or even in dump of its price. Stress should not come first, it may become a reason for panic selling and more losses.

Bitcoin can give you a roller coaster ride of emotion. You can either feel happy about its value or be stressed as you see it falling down. I agree that it depends on our perception on how we handle our stress in bitcoin. For me, I think the best way to handle or avoid stress during the crisis of bitcoin is through patience and perseverance on holding. If you feel that there's still a possibility that the price will increase, then there's no reason to be stressed anymore.

I didn't stress myself when bitcoin is pumping or bumping. Actually, if the bitcoin price is decreasing, we can take it as an advantage for us to make a profit when the next pump will come. Why stress yourself if that's the right time for us to invest to make good profit.
