I've always been one who sells to earlier, either to minimize my losses or to realize my earnings ASAP and leave. I've seen in most of my investments, if not all that if I would've just left the coins there they would've been worth 10-50x what I put in before. This is upsetting as a person and trader, as I see how much money I'm missing out on.

How do you traders do it, hold and hold and hold. Waiting around for more and more money?
Once someone really understands the volatility and they are definitely holding for a long term, probably the HODL way, then the last thing they should be bothered about is the value of the coin they are holding at any point in time. Most coins will never remain the same way at least in the next few years and depending on how long the holder is planning to hold for, staying out of the charts sounds a lot better.

It takes a lot of personal discipline to be able to hold when market is moving against your position but all you need do is to have a percentage of profit you want to make and once you meet that target there is no point waiting for more for that may lead to lost in most occasion.

Yes, personal discipline is a must with holding of bitcoin. Holding of bitcoin is truly upon the trust the user have over bitcoin. In reality when the user himself gets a good profit on holding surely the next time user will get out from the fear of holding bitcoin expecting good profit.

Be remember that trading is the second name of risk so if you are a risk taker then you can do trading very well and if you have no such quality then you will be unable to do trading. Holding is type of trading and if want to do holding trading and you have fear of holding then you need to judge previous history of what you are holding like bitcoin if the performance is increasing day by day then you don't need to fear such things for holding and this is the way that you can overcome fear of holding.

This is true. It sometimes feel quite annoying that people who set a certain target for themselves and after achieving that target they then complain to have sold and didn't save for future. While the time at which mostly people sell bitcoin they fulfil other necessities of life with it and covering these all in a timely manner also has a great value.
I am happy with the earnings and holding I have and that I have expense out.

he needs to learn about discipline and learn to solve a problem about the fear in his mind. if he can control his fear then he doesn't have the opportunity in any of field and he can not make money at all. fear is one of the biggest problems in our self and we need to control. as a holder, we need to control ourselves to not fear to hold coins for a long time.

It so simple. First we must sure that the cryptocurrency that we hold has good fundamental, I mean is it has good liquidity and good expectation from the experts. Second you should hold it in your own wallet don't store it in exchange. Just do those things then you will be not afraid anymore.

This is upsetting as a person and trader, as I see how much money I'm missing out on.

How do you traders do it, hold and hold and hold. Waiting around for more and more money?

I've been there and it really makes me feel worst if I'm riding those hype makers and just suddenly sold the bitcoins that I hold out of the thinking that it won't go up again. I know it's really upsetting and makes you feel bad but charge to experience. How many times do you think you've done that? In my case, I did that for so many times and by mid year of this year when I saw potential growth of bitcoin, what I do now is I just keep on holding and holding.

It's not that hard, the moral aspect of the situation is important. Everything goes on in our brain. If we can control our brain, we can make ourselves be ready for holdin, selling, trading, mining. Anything you want. Saying this as a holder.

How can you control your brain? I've seen many people that are keep on saying that "control yourself" , "control your emotion" and now "control your brain". In reality, when you are in the situation of you are witnessing in front of your eyes that the coin you are holding is dumping, you can't the pressure. You will think about only your losses and will forget about the long term plans that you have set.
quite true mate its really hard to do dealing with your emotions, especially when you are witnessing the event, that's the reason we needed to have
enough knowledge with the current situations, so when the trend is falling and we are knowledgeable enough that it will just a temporary movement
then we can skip that first and leave it as we knew that it will bounce back and gains will be ours.

Dealing with emotion is the hardest battle that we can be with. If you know the sayings about the hardest enemy is ourselves. Overcoming the fear of holding is one of my weakness before and I can say even up until now. I used to be a weak hand but I'm doing my best just to keep on selling at the peak and gain some profits. But if you do really want to overcome holding one thing you can do is set an amount on what's your preferable gain price for bitcoin or altcoin you hold.
Exchanging is the second name of hazard and on the off chance that you are great player of hazard taking then its methods you are a decent dealer likewise in light of the fact that in the event that you are going out on a limb then you are certain level be high and on the off chance that you are sure on your work then you will never fear from misfortune and this will make you achievement.

Choose the best coin you believe that has a big supporters and the team are trustworthy with good background, that are only some, the rest is up to you because you have to make a certain research to minimize the risk. Fear is brought by lack of knowledge, when you fill yourself with good information that fear will be gone and you are also open minded because you are willing to accept your loses since you understand that failure has a chance.

Panic selling is the enemy of holders and traders so the most important in holding and trading is dont let emotions take anywhere selling though it has good benefits if you have some people to guide you about when or when to put your money on a potential token or coin Dont panic and dont sell your token or coin quickly.

Maybe you need a psychiatrist to help you overcome your fear in holding, because if you can't fight your fear I'm sure that it gives you headache or illness in mind especially when you experience lose on your investment.

Moreover you can also ask for guidance from your family to help you overcome your fear, in addition I think you don't need to fear in holding now because all crypto currencies now are incredibly increasing value.

One of the reason why you can't overcome the fear of holding is because maybe most of the time you need money and probably you think that bitcoin will crash someday and all of your efforts will be useless. So in order for you to overcome that fear then you should be optimistic because negativity will bring you down. Believe in yourself because if they can then we can. Smiley

I think you are not afraid of holding but you are not ready to lose your money, so to overcome it is You must be ready to lose your money !
If you are ready for it then you will not be afraid to holding
[/quot

if afraid of holding then just sell btc and take out Your first money You put in crypto and later just play with profit money...I do that way 3 years ago and no more afraid from losing money.. Wink
to wind up plainly a win merchant you have to end up plainly a daring person so on the off chance that you are a decent daring individual then it implies you are a decent broker and on the off chance that you are not a decent daring person then you will never turn into a decent dealer since you will never attempt your insight anyplace and on the off chance that you are daring person then you will be sure on your work and you will never fear from misfortune.

Fear is always there when we doubt to ourselves especially when making a decision. Since there is fear of holing bitcoins then probably you have to handle your emotions. Watch news and read articles of bitcoin so you will be able to have knowledge that gives a good hope to you. Don't focus on your negative thoughts, let the positive thoughts conquer your fear until it disappear.

The price history of bitcoin will be your guide throughout your journey of holding. To add, you must also be updated to all recent news going around lately about bitcoin in order to decrease the chances of you losing value of your coins. Lastly, treat your investments as your money that you are willing to lose. Lately, many news have been spreading about bitcoin's state, popping out soon. Remember that you are investing/trading on a currency that involves high-risk with high-reward at the same time.
Those are some tasks that you are mandated to do in order not to lose much in the long-run. Personally, I hold my bitcoins and withdrew them only for emergency situations. I treat them as my assets and at the same time my money which has the potential of increasing everyday.

It's just that everyone realistically understands that there are always people like you, you will sell your savings, in the hope of minimizing losses, they will buy you cheaper at a price, and then wait for a raise, and after such recessions, the volatility and all, the whole secret success.
Exchanging is the second name of hazard in the event that you are a best player in chance taking then it implies you are a brilliant dealer since when you are certain on your work then you will get achievement in your work in light of the fact that sure is must for each work you are doing.

The key there is to set some standards for you to consider whether to trade it or not. Now, if the it doesn't meet the highest value which is your standard then just focus on the other coins that you are trading. Leave it for a while, but at the same time don't forget to monitor if it's value becomes higher. In my case, it took me 6 months for me to be able to meet my own standards and trade my coin.

As you said we need to set a goal price of our coins we have to only sell our bitcoin if it reaches that value so it will give the thought of holding while there is a price fall.But you need to understand that if you are holding a popular coin like bitcoin or ethereum you just have to hold it for some years simply because the chance of price crashing with these coins are minimal so next time buy bitcoin and keep it for an year atleast to gain good profits.
