From the recent dump in the market lot of people weren't prepared or even foresee the future that last night we could experience an unexpected dip in the crypto space, I asked where are those that keep speculating about Bitcoin price or cryptocurrency that calls themselves guru or cryptocurrency analyst do they know that yesterday could be that hurt on traders or investors?
It's certainly No because we can't for any day give an insight on what is about happening to the market in the next minute or in the next time frame so we must learn to always make use of our Stop Lose and Take Profits if an only the market has moved to our point of action then it would stop automatically than losing so deeply the way it reacted last night.
What do you think, where you caught up in the mindless of it?
You’re right that many traders were caught off guard by the sudden dump, but that’s exactly the difference between a trader and an investor. A Bitcoin investor who is focused on long-term holding wouldn’t be shaken by such short-term volatility, because these dips are part of Bitcoin’s natural price cycle, while traders depend on stop-losses, take-profit orders, and short-term predictions (which often fail in unpredictable markets), investors operate with a different mindset. A true Bitcoiner knows that Bitcoin’s value proposition isn’t based on what happens in a few hours or even weeks, but on its long-term scarcity, decentralization, and global adoption. So, while traders might have stayed up all night watching charts turn red, long-term holders probably slept peacefully, knowing that a dip doesn’t change Bitcoin’s fundamentals. In fact, for many of them, it was just another opportunity to stack more sats.
✓In short: if you’re holding Bitcoin for the long term, there’s no need to panic or use stop-losses, because time in the market beats timing the market.
