Panic selling and postpone from trading, which one is the worse one?

[dothebeats]

I'd say panic selling is the worse between the two, considering that you made some obvious rough and shitty choices which led you to such situation, whereas in postponing your trades, you obviously had done your research beforehand and you listened to your guts, even if doing the opposite may net you some profits. Playing it safe is better than playing it without any game plan, and the latter simply means you understand fully that it is quite unsafe to trade. This is money you're dealing with, and you really have to be extra careful in order to get successful in your trades and ventures.

I think that panic sales cause much more serious and more negative results, because many large traders who are manipulating the market usually benefit from the panic situation of small investors. The deferments made during trade transactions cause serious damage from time to time but do not cause serious damage in general. If panic is commented, all buying and whole sales in panic cause loss of individuals.

When the price of bitcoin was $17000, many people said that the price would not fall, then the price fell and I remember that at that time I panicked and sold at  $16000 and did something very good because the price fell a lot , the price dropped to $3100... sometimes panic and sell can be very beneficial, it can save you from a big loss. Of course later I learned to control my panic and today I do not panic. But it was a good decision to have sold us $16,000

I think panic and selling their investment will definitely not to be a good idea for anyone because while panic situation the decision made by us will always been not correct so my opinion is at that period of time don't take quick decision hold for sometime it will works in most of the time.

obviously panic selling is only done when one is in panic, seeing his loses. There is no plan what so ever to recover from loses and people panic sell just to avoid more further loss. Psotposing from trade is a better idea but then i have seen people keep waiting and waiting as the coins took more than a year to recover if you buy at the all time high prices.

If you sold at 16,000$ resulting from panic selling, then you decision is a good one. Now you can see the price is near 4000$. If you have hold at that time, you would certainly have regretted. However there are only these few cases where panic selling gives you profit. In most of times, panic selling result in only confirmed loss.

Obviously panic selling pal because the worst thing on it after selling you will become unable to retrieve the entire amount and there is no another way for it to undo .unlike postponed from trading because it seems like holding for long run wherein you have still a chance to manage your coin the way you like it or not. And you can avoid repenting also.

[danherbias07]

Depends on the market.
Like you said you join the panic sellers if you all knew the token will depreciate.
But if it all just be gossips then will you still go on with that kind of decision?
It is also about the trust with the token. You bought it then you should have known where it will really go and not wasting money over something which will just be dumped.

[lienfaye]

I cant blame those who panic sell but im not agree with their way to cut losses because if you panic sell it has an impact in the market making the situation worse. It might be beneficial to others who cant stand seeing their assets decreasing in value but as an investor its just shows that you have weak belief in cryptos.

On the other hand if you just wait and calmly monitor the market waiting for bull run you will save your coins for worthy value.

I think panic selling is the worst way Because this movement puts the investor in harm and destroys his profits. In such cases, panic selling should never be done 2. way much more profitable and reliable. Just follow the market and don't take any action. When you are sure then do it.

[Polar91]

In your opinion, which one is the worse way among the two?

Postpone from trading, because you are doing nothing. Thus, there will be no development in you and there is nothing you can blame if there are big opportunities you aren't able to take since you postpone from trading but only yourself. Unlime panic selling, you are trying to escape from further loss which is okay rather than being stacked in the dip.

For me both are not good as you have mentioned there are so many bad effects of panic selling but at the same time postpone from trading, holding is surely good things because when you see majority doing wrong don’t be one of them but try to tell them what’s wrong and what is right so if you are in danger you can sell but make sure you buy when price will fall again.

It's obviously panic sell that is worse because it will always bring regret at the end. In 2017, JP Morgan's announced that bitcoin is a fraud, and in less than 24 hours holders of bitcoin especially newbies who are not well knowledgeable about the technology panic sold their coin, and JP Morgan who called bitcoin a fraud/scam was the first to buy the coin at the dip making lots of profit.

If a person panic, he's losing the asset which could make him wealthy in the future. Selling isn't bad, but if you panic because of fear of losing financially it doesn't need to put it all at risk. That's worst because when the right time came, you'll regret that bad decision you made after being panicked

The only reason for the people selling their coins is because they don't want to see if the price still go down and they don't want to get bigger losses. They thought that it's better to get a small loss than to get a bigger loss and they can accept for the lose. Besides that, they can try to buy at a low price although it doesn't guarantee for them to see the lower price in the future. But the worse case I know that if someone is selling their coins without notice that the price can get up in the next day, week, month, or even a year.

The only explanation that can be given for people selling their coins at a loss is that they never invested in it for the long haul and they cannot afford to loose more if the market takes a long time to recover, i discourage people who are here to make money in a short period and usually if you are having that kind of mentality you will probably end up in a loss if the market goes down. If you are in profit and you see that there is a possibility for a correction then there is nothing wrong in selling and waiting for the market to settle down to enter again. If you go by that philosophy then you will make profit rather than taking positions all the time unless you are an expert.

Worst case is trading with emotions and joining crowd. Selling in blood bath is logical if there are good reasons for this. If there is no concrete explanation for downfall then it is better to leave on its own. Just shut down the pc and go walk. Just my usual 2 cent

I agree. But, to answer the question, I think the worst between the two is to panic sell. That strategy leads to usually no good in the market, and I, myself, have been a victim of that bad move many times when I was starting in the market. It is sometimes very difficult to control the urge of selling, especially if you see the general view of the market, together with all the coins you are relying upon, going down. However, since these market is erratic in its movements and changes, one can expect that even if there has been a massive downfall that it will recuperate at any time, it's a cycle one has to be aware of and deal with.

From the investor’s point of view, I think panic selling is the worst among two choice. Selling coins at lower price than what the investor purchase is booking in the losses. Holding has a better chance of recovering the price.

The dynamic situation of cryptocurrency these days in general responded by three ways: selling panicly with the risk of cut-loss in order to save the remaining assets from more fallen, hold the assets and playing save by not doing any trading activities, and view the phenomenon as a diamond chance then buying coins in huge amounts of investments while the prices are low. Of course, those three ways are logically humane and each has their own pluses and minuses.

I am intrigued upon the first two: panic selling and postponing from trading.

On doing panic selling, ones tend to sell their assets in the price lower than in the actual price. The main goal is to sell their coins faster to save themselves from the worse situation, without consideration upon the impact of their behaviour towards the market in general.

Meanwhile, ones could also hold their assests and postpone from doing any trading activities, in order to keep their assets safe and even maybe went on hiatus from digital assets bussiness while waiting for the bullish days to be back. They don't want to sell their assets in low price, but the act of not doing any trading is logically also has impact in general. At least, it is contributing on slower the trading traffic.

In your opinion, which one is the worse way among the two?

Panicking is worse than postpone from trading, you will continue to lose your investments if you cannot control your feelings and emotions. We should always have good self control in order to not panic even there is unexpected situation happen.

[oceantiger]

In my own opinion panic selling is worse because you activate your selling too early and lose your money. I know the crypto market to be volatile and never stable. Holding when the market goes down will only patience is needed to enable the trader to make a profit from the market. The price may go way down and must come back it will only take time.

[St4yInTh3D4rk]

We can't compare one with another generally because which one is worse will be decided based on the market situation.Sometimes panic selling can save us from huge dump or it may eat our profits by taking the steps too early and other think keep postponing the trades might also make us to be in loss in this uncertain market unless you are a confident long term holder.
