Fear of loosing FOMO is where we get out of positions and accept losses, FUD is what makes market down and it keep repeating itself.

New entries are more infected by these two viruses FOMO & FUD, with experience we learn how to deal with it. If there are no more new entries BTCitcoin will become more stable.

Fear of loosing FOMO is where we get out of positions and accept losses,

FOMO stands for Fear Of Missing Out which is where the investor thinks they are missing out on the "rise" and starts irrationally buying. In short you can call it "panic buying".

New entries are more infected by these two viruses FOMO & FUD, with experience we learn how to deal with it.

This is not all bad, the panic sells gives excellent discounts to all those understand the reality and want to buy while others are fearful.

If there are no more new entries BTCitcoin will become more stable.

There will always be newcomers and that doesn't necessarily affect stability. What creates the volatility is the size of the market which is still small and order books aren't packed enough to prevent a big panic sell from bringing the price down 20%.

That's wrong on so many levels! One of the first things newcomers should learn is how to properly keep those funds safe ^{[imagine what you've accumulated over a certain period of time, suddenly goes down the drain (it happens more often than one might imagine)]}.

[michellee]

Fear is real, while panic is also real. People tend to panic when they see the price rise, so they think they will be too late if they do not buy right now. If you can manage your emotion and not panic when you see the price move, you will see your chance to buy any coins, not just bitcoin because only with calm down will you see that chance. You can hold bitcoin without having altcoin but still, you need to calm down and not fear the price movements because that will happen with the crypto.

In experience, HODL matters.

Those that have experienced holding and got benefits from being patient, nobody can stop us in holding. Once you've experienced how essential is holding.

No one will make you say that it's not going to work.

We must learn security first then next is the investing(HODL)

Especially if you've hundreds of thousands in profit if you hodl, no one has the authority to say that hodling isn't effective and that bitcoin was just a fad that persisted because the people forced it to persist. To be honest, the moment that I have discovered bitcoin, hodling was the first thing that I have thought to do even though I wasn't familiar with the word yet.

[davis196]

Nope.Bitcoin will remain volatile even if more people and companies join the BTC market and buy more BTC.
A few years ago,I also believed that mass adoption would make Bitcoin less volatile.I guess I was wrong.
FOMO is what drives the prices up.I guess that you don't know what FOMO means.Other forum members have already explained this.
Fear is real.Greed is also real.The financial markets are driven by people's emotions,despite all the analysis and emotional control the majority of the traders can't control their emotions.

Fear is not Real

That fear is abstract and intangible doesn't mean it isn't real. It's real of course. Otherwise, it won't me messing up people's (investors, in this case) heads with FOMO and FUD attributes. You can't say we don't feel the impacts on the market, can you?

In experience, HODL matters.

It does matter, actually. However, those who've succeeded hodling and making a kill from it are those who aren't depending on Bitcoin for their meal tickets. Otherwise, that itch to always take a pinch from time to time will always be there.

You can't learn it, you must grow accustomed to it. When you have hodled for many years and seen countless ups and downs, you will naturally start ignoring all these crashes. You will probably even stop checking Bitcoin's price compulsively. But it's unrealistic to expect such things from a newcomer who just yesterday was excited to see their investment grow, and now absolutely naturally worry when they experience their first crash.

People usually wants a Physical product before they trust. Investing on something they can't see will easily give fear to them if the asset value is very volatile. The good thing on Bitcoin was its blockchain technology is applicable in real problem as solution especially for transparency and privacy at the same time. Looking on the current is just the tip of the iceburg since the potential of blockchain is limitless and Bitcoin will always be gonna have the best benefit for it as a first mover on this cryptocurrency era.

Just count every single profit that you make when you're holding. Everyone is free for their opinion and if holding isn't working for them, they can say whatever they want even it's negative.

But the majority of us have proven that holding really is working and one of the best ways that we've done to grow with our holdings.

Yeah, that's a truth that you've said.

It's a must that they should just let it go and sleep for a long time while working for something else. And now that it's paid off, especially those that are holding a lot, it's likely that they can rely on it now.

[famososMuertos]

When you roll a little through the trade you realize that you can be in any of those situations at any time Nobody is exempt, that is there and is part of the trade, you have to deal with these situations, the problem lies in not getting out of them.

Being pigeonholed into what we believe works for each of us in the management of our satoshis is good to the extent that the result is +, but regardless of that we cannot remove variables that are always there, nor think that they do not exist. We all go through FoMo, FuD, etc. at some point, you just don't have to become frequent in their use, some become addicted to them.

there is only one fear, this is a missed advantage, and it happens very often, when you think about preparing yourself to buy this or that coin or even bitcoin, and while you were thinking, he is already far away) FOMO.Also, the fear of losing your investments, because there are always risks associated with them.

[Fatunad]

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

Fear is real and you would experience it out on the time you would really be seeing your portfolio is going down and also on the fear on the time that the market is really
having that FOMO itself which is included into that word which no matter what the trend is then there would be always that kind of emotion which is something
that cant really be avoided since we are just human beings then its an inevitable thing for you not to experience it on. Even those experience and professionals
do still get affected with fear with their investment even they do know that they could handle up themselves well on volatility aspect.

[mindrust]

"1 btc = 1 btc."
"You can only lose if you sell."
"No pain no gain."
"If you can't hodl during the bad times, you don't deserve the good times."

These are the famous words that every crypto person should know.

BTC always makes a comeback. Just keep believing it

[dothebeats]

Fear is always real, especially to those who don't fully know and understand the path that they are taking. People always fear losing what is valuable to them, and money is not last on the list. Especially when they're already neck-deep into this thing and the price starts crashing down. That's fear right there, anxiously wishing for the price to do a hard rebound and save what is left from your money. You'd be lying if you tell us that you don't experience this even once.

[syedzakir]

Fear is always associated with human nature but the main aim is to manage the fear and to find ways to get control over it. Rather than being panic we must get through difficult times by using different strategies. People usually panic when they see a great loss or when they have not bought something at the right time well in such situation they usually face great losses.
In such situation the first thing is to be calm and then to decide what to do and how to do in the mean time. Wether it's the time to wait or to make a quick decision, it depends upon your own mind.

[BlackHatCoiner]

I like seeing it this way:  Whether fear exists or not, what's important is that in life, people who have not acknowledged the significance of something will sooner or later hand that something out to those who do have acknowledged it. So, most of these folks who panic sell haven't probably understood what makes bitcoin a so brilliant, groundbreaking and revolutionary technology.

"1 btc = 1 btc."

I still cannot understand what's so attractive in this phrase. Yes, 1 BTC = 1 BTC, just how 1 USD = 1 USD; it's the exchange rate that changes.

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

Only a fool would come out with such a statement as fear is not real. Fear is sensible and has kept people alive, it is a calculated judgement on what actions should be taken against imminent threats. Fear should never drive the decisions of a real investor, it will however drive a speculator to cash out at the wrong time and probably waste a whole load of money. However the majority of people who own Bitcoin will never be anything more than a speculator who will run eventually, whether it is after Bitcoin drops 20% or when it drops 80% - because quite simply it has nothing behind it. There is no comparison with the stock market because there is not a company you'd be able to liquidate the parts of afterwards, with Bitcoin the value placed in to it would simply disappear all the way down.

[Russlenat]

What is real is the risk, if you don't calculate the risk very well, then the fear will come. Investing in bitcoin does not guarantee you'll be financially free in the future as those people who are successful now took risk and they are also realistic enough to see the possible bad side of bitcoin which is failure of their investment.

He also said the same thing, he said that if no newcomer or no new investor then Bitcoin will become as like a stable coin. if more companies join with bitcoin then the price will be volatile.

But I can't agree, if no more new entries then the price will be more volatile and will go downward. cause if miners don't get new customers then they will attempt to sell their mined coin to the lowest price. And people will start panic selling that making the whole situation more bearish. Volatility is the nature of Bitcoin, So new entries coming or not coming doesn't matter it will keep its volatility upward or downward, only direction will change.

[barabarian1]

if fear is not real, then people who loss their money is people who learn a thing and pay with money. and there is no loss in this game, people always gain about two think, profit or experience. no loss money.

i think fear i real, experienced have fear, thats why they dont invest in any place, they think about it, where is safe and profit place.

[Slow death]

the problem is always the same:

  the person buys bitcoin when the price was high, let's say they buy when the price was $65,000 and then the price drops a lot to $30,000 at that moment the person's fear is not because he thinks the price will drop to $1, the fear of the person and not knowing how long he will have to wait for the price to reach $65000 and then give him a 2X return. What most people don't appreciate is the possibility of buying more at $30,000 and making a profit at $65000 and with that you would have a 2X profit and also wouldn't lose the money you bought at $65000 because you wouldn't have sold at a loss

[GeorgeJohn]

Different human understand things from different perspectives, and relating it to fear, different people will understand the concept of fear according it's comprehension, so therefore fear is real, because having double taught over a business or anything to do, is the ability of fear, fear have two aspect of participation in life which is advantages and disadvantages, so from my analysis, fear is advantages can equally leads not adventure into positive side of an investment profit, and base on fear, you can be inquisitive to make withdraw of investment quick and make profit, so fear is real and it's base on your personal imagination to a success.

This is where diversifying your portfolio comes in. But make sure you are are investing in valuable projects with active application in the market and not just because of the hype. Look for their active users if indeed it is doing the job it supposed to do. Because no one can give you precise prediction of this market, so you have no assurance where your investments will go. So I understand if a lot are having their fears, particularly, if they are using their hard-earned savings or retirement funds.

I think we really need to have fear when investing in Bitcoin. Because it makes us more alert and careful when making decisions. So as you said
our fears, keep us from investing in random places, because we are afraid of experiencing scams if we choose the wrong place to invest. Likewise
when it comes to investing in Bitcoin, our fear will make us think carefully about the risks to be faced. So we are more confident in the decisions
we make, without the fear of the possibility that we will make more mistake. Life must be balanced, we can't be too brave and we shouldn't be
too afraid. Because we were created to be able to feel courage and fear must have a purpose. So use our fears for positive things, so that we can
be wiser in making decisions.

[Yamifoud]

FEAR is not REAL, that is my honest take...
I don't know how it becomes real when you actually felt it, not unless if you are not a human being, a robot that gonna be yes. People are so emotional, you can really feel fear, panic, anxiety and etc...

Now, that you think wasn't real, then who you are actually? Well, I'm not sure what you gonna think OP, that was your opinion anyway, and I'm not agreeing with you either.

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

FEAR is real, but the things that make fear may be real and maybe not real.
We can feel fear in this life, moreover, if this is related to money, fear will be much higher commonly, fear of losing money, fear of losing chance, and many kinds of fear. And this tends to be the plays of emotions. How we can control our emotions or how we cannot control them will always influence how fear we are in.
I think that many people may have fear, but it will be different how much the fear that we feel and we focus.
More fear, more panic, more under controlled systems in our brain that will lead us to do something not based on logic

[adzino]

True, most people lose their investment because they end up FOMOing or falls for FUDs. They panic buy at the wrong time thinking that they are going to miss their opportunity. Its good they have finally invested (even though they FOMOed), but the worst part is that they start falling for those FUDs and ends up panic selling everything they have invested, hence making a huge loss.

If there are no more new entries BTCitcoin will become more stable.

This is wrong. We need more people to start using bitcoin. The more bitcoin is used, the more stable (less volatile) it will be in the future.

[DaveF]

The immortal words of Chiun:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPuKnmvodG4

And that above just about sums it up. It's a feeling. But it does change the way we do things.

Worrying about your BTC and how much it's worth may make you sell it too soon, or spend it instead of holding it. Or any one of a dozen things.
That is what we should be talking about. What causes people to act in a certain way, and is that way good or bad overall for BTC and if if's not good, what can we do to change the way people react.

-Dave

[Jasad]

we humans must have fear, worry, anxiety and panic, because these traits are commonplace for us humans, when prices are high we definitely feel happy and want to have lots of bitcoins for us to sell, but when prices are down, we also feel worried about unstable prices, especially when certain parties post negative things about bitcoin, of course we feel angry mixed with panic, but we have a stand, and I believe that what we plant is definitely what we will reap someday..

[Darker45]

You cannot just erase fear at an instant. You cannot expect a newbie to have no fear at all. Imagine a newbie buying his first Bitcoin at $65,000. The next hour it went down at $63,000. The next at $60,500. He went offline for a couple of hours. The moment he got back, the price was already at $56,000. He checked the news and it was full of bad things and FUD and bearish sentiments. Would you expect a newbie to stay cool in such a scenario?

[Wexnident]

It's very much real though? The only reason Bitcoin hodling is still a positive idea is that most people believe in the fact that Bitcoin still has much to offer than what it has right now. I mean just look at how FOMO and FUD affect everyone's belief, if that wasn't fear, then what the hell is fear? In fact, acknowledging fear means that you understand whatever it is that you are investing in (Except when you FOMO ofc, that's just greediness imo, invest at your own pace). Ignoring your fear means what you're doing is simply gambling imo.

Most newbies will panic and not be ready to see the price drops in the next few hours, especially if they lack information on when they should sell their bitcoin.
Even if that person is a pro trader, I am not sure he can remain calm down see the market move like that because when the price drops significantly, it could make many traders panic.
I admit that it is hard for me to decide, but I can only hold the bitcoin, but I will try to buy it for some amount.
Controlling the emotion while trying to keep analyzing the market will be better in that situation to determine what we need to do.
If we want to sell because we see the price will go down for more, we can do that but do not regret it.

That's wrong on so many levels! One of the first things newcomers should learn is how to properly keep those funds safe ^{[imagine what you've accumulated over a certain period of time, suddenly goes down the drain (it happens more often than one might imagine)]}.

That is the problem, the newcomers will always fall into this category because they are new and don't understand the market but rather only think of making profits and if this is not the condition of the market, that's the result we see however if you have been accumulating for a certain period of time, it would mean that, that investor should have understood the market trend enough not to panic sell.

most people have fear it's because they don't have enough knowledge how to prevent losses and to protect their capital when it comes investing, trading and etc in crypto. Well that's what we called weak hands. Perhaps without them market has no rug pul or sudden changes in the price even though it's uptrending.   They're the main reason why market is so volatile..lol for me knowledge is more important because without such thing you will become greedy wherein not in the right time and have fear of course when making decisions.. That's why obtaining specific information is the first suggestion when someone asking what is the best steps to start in crypto but everyone don't listen and take it seriously.. 

[kryptqnick]

While I agree with the op that hodling Bitcoin could save many investors a lot of trouble, I, like some others here, disagree that fear isn't real. Fear is one of the strongest feelings that has one of the biggest forms of impact on our lives. You can't fight it by simply trying to stay delusional and claiming that it's not real. It's very real, and one has to acknowledge it to monitor its influence on one's life. Acting out of FOMO or FUD are bad choices, but it does not mean that there's nothing to drive people toward buying or selling coins irrationally.

This is wrong. We need more people to start using bitcoin. The more bitcoin is used, the more stable (less volatile) it will be in the future.

Absolutely. We should never consider newcomers as something negative. The more people are using something, the better it is for its stability, but not only for that. What is even more important, imo, is that with more Bitcoin users, more talented people become involved in the project development, and that's always a good thing.

First thing to learn about Bitcoin is definitely not to Hodl ..... Bitcoin is not primarily an investment option... It is a Currency!  If everyone just keep on buying bitcoins to Hodl, it will just eventually die out and the Miners will stop making money...so Mining will also die. 

So please stop encouraging people to Hodl bitcoins.... rather get them to use it as a Currency. The price will move more and be stable, if people used it more as a Currency.

That suppose to happen but can't hide the reality that people are considering this as a form of investment rather than as a currency. Maybe it could be realized somewhat in the future, a decade from now when major countries and establishments are accepting this. But for now, it was we've heard as "investment" where people take risks for a profit.

Mining won't die even people will hold their Bitcoin as for sure these won't be forever and these holders will sell their Bitcoins.

[dezoel]

FOMO means fear of missing out, And not getting out of positions, like you have said. Yes it is right to always hold your positions, no matter how the market might be at the time. We need to be able to have a strong faith and hold on till the market starts going up again.

But, I’ve seen some people who say that sometimes why they end up selling their Bitcoin is because that they are in need of the money that they have invested in it. And because of that the majority of them ends up selling while at loss, they have no other option at a time like that, than to sell the Bitcoin and use it to solve the issues or settle the responsibilities that they might be having.

These people are making a mistake: the mistake they are making is that they’re investing money that they can’t afford to risk, what they’re investing is too much for them, and they’re thinking that the price will go up and they will then make huge profit, but it doesn’t work that way. If they invested a little amount that wouldn't affect them no matter the situation, then they wouldn’t have to worry much when price is down and they have an issue to sort out.

We do really need circulation but i cant blame out people on to hold with their coins but doesnt mean that we are really in big problem in replation to this one because we know on whats its potential when we are holding it for long time being.Yes, it could affect circulation but it is really still sufficient
on making this market progress out despite of those lmitations since people are chosing on holding it out instead.

About fear then its actually real because  its part of human emotion which is something thatt cant be avoided  which is why experience would be the ones
would be  handling out yourself on different kind of situations.

Fear is a normal human habit and it's real! You can't just generalize everyone with that one sentence. I do sometimes  become afraid of the thing I see and I need to think twice before doing something especially involved with money. The real thing is, how do you control your fear and think straight so your thought won't be infected with that fear.

this incentive that p wants to convey that fear is not real is such a nonsense and what most people have been saying when it comes to bitcoin, they think if someone buys bitcoin for price X and then drops then one doesn't need to stay afraid because one day the price will go up, but they forget that this one day is something relative, it can take years and if the person who bought bitcoin at price X is in a hurry then it is natural for him to sell in fear of losing even more money

[Kemarit]

First thing to learn about Bitcoin is definitely not to Hodl ..... Bitcoin is not primarily an investment option... It is a Currency!  If everyone just keep on buying bitcoins to Hodl, it will just eventually die out and the Miners will stop making money...so Mining will also die. 

So please stop encouraging people to Hodl bitcoins.... rather get them to use it as a Currency. The price will move more and be stable, if people used it more as a Currency. 

It still individual preferences though, just look at those investors who sold early, they've lost big amount of money. So based on that, you can't blame people holding on their Bitcoin is hope that someday they will become crypto millionaire.

Of course it is also a currency that we can used, however, not many are still accepting it.

Nevertheless, adoption might be slow, but sooner or later it will be big. So we can take advantage of it, used it as a currency or be a long term holder for profits.

[ajanwalker]

I don't think fear is real either. As in most situations in life, everything is psychological for bitcoin. For now, it is wanted to be feared that it will go down, but I am waiting for a new record, but there is a possibility that it will be in the first quarter of 2022, even if not this year.

[andriarto]

90% of crypto geniuses failed just because they failed to HODL it learn from them don't be one of them.  

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

natural instinct people who have never traded in the crypto market before. Seeing assets drop drastically must be hesitant to make a decision. but it is undeniable that so far it is the holders who make profit. the intention to become a holder is always there but there is always a temptation to always be afraid of losing. trader crypto must have felt that feeling every time.

this is related to psychology that is not well established, where human nature cannot be controlled properly. things like this must be trained slowly, we must focus on holding it if the main goal is investment. lest we change our minds from investors to traders, so that we experience big losses.

[Accardo]

Fear fades out given a brief time of constant action. Some people that do not hodl bitcoin help the ecosystem grow, which contributes to the exchange rate of bitcoin. However, participants may want to invest a high sum of money while another party would prefer a gradual investment.

Established businesses invest fiat to purchase bitcoin, and it helps the price skyrocket. And some growing projects can decide to panic sell bitcoin to save their project in times of need such that they will invest back into bitcoin after solving the dispute and continue earning higher profits.

They are other patterns of trading bitcoin that help every participant of this great project to get an opportunity to get hold of a few Satoshi given a period of work time.

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

But the actual facts are that fear is real. You can see everyone talking about 30,000$ bitcoin or even less. Everyone talking about the bear market starting soon. And when you see the marketcap of overall crypto going down, shows people have fear and they are exiting crypto.
Only the ones who are the real believer of the technology will hold in these tough times.

[Woodie]

When BTCitcoin is under 1 dollar people think it's another WebMoney kind of thing, greed was becoming Fear people failed to hold on it.

When bitcoin was at this price, paid to click where common and unfortunately some didnt pay out when the threshold was reached which is why others had the fear in them....

Same thing keep repeating itself first Greed enter's and it turned up into fear and bought wrong judgements.

Truth be told bitcoin markets can be volatile at times and the fear gets worse if you are looking at the charts which can tempt most of us to sell so as to try cut our losses. But with experience this becomes routine and you are immune to this fear and any easy sells.

Fear of loosing FOMO is where we get out of positions and accept losses, FUD is what makes market down and it keep repeating itself.

Totally agree with you

[Doell]

actually fear is useful and its real ,during the bullrun people will buy more bitcoins and sell when profit "investors" ! Fear of loss should be a natural and real thing but depending on the thinking and depending on the need it ! the company will always hold bitcoin and in fact continue to buy is mandatory because to pay employees with bitcoin ! there are also some people who continue to hodl without sell because of their love of bitcoin technology for that person's future ! many perceptions for it but fear is a natural thing and real !

[Desmong]

When it come to fear of the market, I think those who had experience and losses with other project would tend to have the fear of losing their funds again. Having fear is normal and it's not a crime but sometimes some fear of the market are not just it because they are just as ignorant and abnormal.

[romero121]

The evolution and it's growth till date have happened in a gradual manner. We don't know whether the community will widen or not, but on some trust people started to get into cryptocurrency. Slowly the same had made the market to be more stronger than ever.

Fear is part of every investment. When the investment is long term planned, the fear is low. Always the immediate money have got more risk, so good is to move along with the market and book the profit at the right time than keeping focus only on immediate profit.

There is always panic moments, and these are created in the past and people are easily manipulated to follow it. Now things are different, everyone have better learning and they don't easily fall as a prey for the Whales play.

[yazher]

If it was for bitcoin, the risks are worth it because it has never been like the other altcoin where its price has drained down to almost zero, it always finds some ways to recover and get back on track. But if you use that mentality on altcoins, then we have a problem because you could use all your funds thinking that it has the same attribute as bitcoin where in reality it was just used for pump and dump investment, and when the price will fall, it will never recover forever. That's why you need to establish fear in investment because of the high probability that something bad might happen.

As long as they can manage their fear and still analyze the bitcoin movement, I am sure they will see a chance to enter the market and trade without making a mistake. That is why every person who wants to enter the market needs to learn to control themselves, especially control the fear that can happen later. It needs the courage to say that they can control the fear while still trying to analyze the market and see their chance to buy low comes.

I don't see anything bad for the bitcoin market at this time even though the bitcoin market is falling very sharply unlike usual but in fact bitcoin is going through a year-end correction closing the year-end period cycle for stockholders as well as dividend distribution to bitcoin asset owners. So there is no need to fear for the bitcoin market not recovering again as it will only take a few weeks to restart the start of the new year period.

whale prey will remain. those who are just getting in as the bitcoin hype is getting stronger are prey to whales that will fill them up.
new people will start to be manipulated again just like old people in the past who are still groping about crypto.
I used to be prey to whales, but then as time progressed, I started to break away from whales and cultivate my mind to survive in crypto and coexist with whales.

It should be underlined, these errors can add insight. I don't think we can completely eliminate that error in analysis, but at least we can minimize it. Fear occurs when we think a mistake is a failure.

[blackened515]

I don't think fear is not real, fear exist. People panic when ever they see the price of coins they invested in crashed. Many do sell what is left and loses. But, I think patience is very important when it comes to Crypto Investment, try to hold unto your coins. Don't let fear and greedy to make you take decisions you might end up regretting later. One can sell, and the price starts to pump. Also, is adviseable to always invest amount you can afford to lose. Those who were greedy and sold their bitcoin when the price climbed $1 are probably regretting now.

We do value money much and it cant really be avoided on not to make out any reactions based up on that scenario or event which we would really be making out those movements or emotions.

Fear is real and we do felt it and cant be possible be controlled no matter how aware or experienced you are.It is really just differs on how someone would manage out things

according into your past experiences which you could use into your future engagements specially on investment side.

I guess you are right. What I see from most traders, especially new traders, is when they see some news from a coin and the price starts to increase, they race to follow the trend without thinking about how that is just a fake increase. But suddenly, that is just an attraction to invite more people to buy at a high price and then the price drops. They start to fear and panic because they bought at a high price. That is also happening in the crypto investment.

In this matter, we really need to think wise and always calculate and analyze before we decide. Hopefully, that can help us prevent anything bad that can happen and the best is we can manage our feelings, including fear about something.

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

How can you hold if you're lacking of information? I think before learning to hold (no matter what happen), it would be best to fill your mind with knowledge in order to better understand what you're getting into. After digging deeper of what you should know, its the time to decide whats best and beneficial for you in the long run.

Having fear is quite normal because there are many uncertainties that could happen along the way. However it depends on your belief on how far the price of BTC can go if you continue to hold.

I think no one on earth knows what the future price of BTC can be.

I disagree with these words by OP

~
90% of crypto geniuses failed just because they failed to HODL ~

What is fail from your perspective? If someone made 100x of their investment in 2 years you consider it fail because they could make 10,000x in 10 years? Honestly, I wouldn't call it a fail. Besides, not everyone can hodl all the time. There are situations when you need cash, and you really don't care that what you are selling may cost 20 times more in 2-3 years.

Fear is something that cant really be avoided since its part of human nature on having this kind of emotion on where you would really be able to feel it because we dont like to lose money.

Whenever you do tend to resist on not to fear but still it would cripples out into your spine and mind because you do know on what would happen if things gets more worst.

No matter how experienced you are but still it wont be something that cant really be removed on someone for  them to feel out.

I still cannot understand what's so attractive in this phrase. Yes, 1 BTC = 1 BTC, just how 1 USD = 1 USD; it's the exchange rate that changes.

There can be different meanings to it, depending on what your interpretation of it is. I've always seen it as; Bitcoin is more valuable than the current exchange rate suggests, so I treat the current price of Bitcoin differently to its value. At the moment, I consider my Bitcoin invaluable, and not something I routinely use as a currency. Whereas, those that look at the price of Bitcoin regularly are more likely either withdrawing, and depositing frequently, but don't have much of a long term outlook on it.

The other interperation is; some people consider Bitcoin a currency, and are a little bit over zealous in my opinion, on being adamant that Bitcoin shouldn't be compared to other currencies, because it's own currency. Having that point of view is fine, but not one I'm particularly keen on. Most assets, and currencies are compared with others, even ones which are vastly different; gold etc.

What is fail from your perspective? If someone made 100x of their investment in 2 years you consider it fail because they could make 10,000x in 10 years? Honestly, I wouldn't call it a fail. Besides, not everyone can hodl all the time. There are situations when you need cash, and you really don't care that what you are selling may cost 20 times more in 2-3 years.

Basically. Some investors are particularly good at generating a profit in the short term, and while Bitcoin is at its most volatile its probably a good idea to do frequent trading if your good at predicting the market.

I've also taken Bitcoin out when I've needed a little bit of a boost in fiat, at the moment instead of using Bitcoin as a currency, I'm mainly storing my wealth in it, and then hoping it continues to appreciate in price down the line.

To me personally it's never easy. When I see Bitcoin dropped 20% I often think the trend will continue, and if I might need some extra money in the nearest future, I would cash out only to see BTC starting to rise the next day. And when I see an ATH but no money is needed at the moment, I don't cash out even a bit, and later I see that I missed a good opportunity to get the same $200 for lesser amount of satoshis.

Many people have their doubts on themselves if this is an ideal to make an investment with this coin or just ignore this coin and nothing will happen on it. Its all about the risk taken by the investor it's a high risk-reward. We have different situations and financial stability so it's one of the factors too. It's all about the risk that can manage by the investor. This is like if you a change grab it or ignore the opportunity.

Those people who have doubt in bitcoin never really know what or how bitcoin works. They just assumed that it's just like an internet money which gonna fade away over time. Blockchain technology is new to them that's why they didn't understand the concept of how bitcoin works.

Those who risk of investing in bitcoin cherish their profit nowadays if they were the early adopters.

No matter what the Op say, bitcoin will never be a stable coin due to the traders and other factors that would appreciate the price in the future and it's always that way.

Fear and Fomo are real psychological phenomenon and they are reflected on Fear & Greed index. [1]

They also have impacts on price because basically when people are fearful, they will panic sell; when they are greedy, they will FOMO buy. In turn, panic sell makes price dump and FOMO buy causes price pump.

[1] https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/
If you check the Fear & Greed Index chart and compares it with Bitcoin price chart, you will see how Fear and Greed affects market price. Today the index is about 40 and Bitcoin gradually rallies from the extremely panic area below 20 of the Index, a few weeks ago.

[coupable]

The fear of traders about learning bitcoin is quite understandable. Everything is pretty simple - what is worth only is how often the price of bitcoin changes.

The topic is about fear and FOMO which are psychological phenomenon that can be shown in a large scale. FOMO is somehow what lead users to create a bubble like what happened re cently with Elon Musk Tweets.

By bringing crypto further into the mainstream, the fearness will decrease as time goes by.

From another side, the actual market situation confirms what i am trying to explain, as we used to see the price getting the highest volatility at every end of a year and the start of a new year. I fund this quote explaining the situation:

2014: $323
2015: $458
2016: $897
2017: $14,577
2018: $4028
2019: $7252
2020: $24,667
2021: $50,946
2022: $.........

Majority of new comers (including me when I initially joined crypto) come with mind that they will become rich overnight since thats what crypto is all about.

Well, it has a possibility, but not that high since the market is very volatile. I think this mindset comes with all investments, like when they are putting up a store and thinking that they will gain their capital in just a week or more. That's why there are a lot of people getting scammed and losing their money because they want easy and fast money, like they want to be millionaires over night, and that ain't gonna happen. We should consider both sides, both profit and loss.

[habebe]

if fear and risk are not real, no one will learn and repent if no trials come and in a loss no one learns something and pays with money.  and in these invincible and win games, people are always getting and learning about two things, profit or experience.  there is no loss if the reason is money.

People who are not well financially stable would always be worried whenever they invest their money in the cryptocurrency market, because they know that they can be in need of that money that they have invested at any time. So they won’t be able to hold that much and when they notice that the market is going down, they would be forced to sell their position in the market and get off. If you’re not financially stable, sometimes you might have some problems that would require money for you to solve and you’d have no other option than to go ahead and your sell your coins no matter the condition in the market.

I mean, there's always another choice, you can borrow money somewhere, but imo "that ain’t a choice", as they say in The Matrix Resurrections. You never know when the next bull market hits. It can take a year or even more, yeah, as we know from the past experience, it can take three years. Borrowing money all this time, not knowing when you can pay back, is hell on earth. I'm not doing this. Nor would I suggest to do it to anyone.

For people who do not have stable finances, they must accept the fact that sometimes they have to suffer losses that are unavoidable. We all
definitely have a sudden urgent need, but for rich people who are already financially stable, must have savings to solve problems that come
suddenly. While people who are not financially stable, there is no other way, other than selling some or all of the coins they own. So rich people
are not afraid if the market goes down, In contrast to poor people or people whose financial stability is not yet stable, they have real fears once
the market goes down, they have to do a cutloss to solve an urgent need. Regarding borrowing money to solve urgent financial problems,
it can be done, if indeed we no longer have coins that can be sold. But as long as we still have coins to sell, we should not borrow money from anywhere.

I do not understand what you mean by saying that fear is not real, of course fear can be real. Take a look at possible regulations that have come about in certain countries, like china for example, they threatened to ban bitcoin for a while and then they finally did. That fear of them doing so was and is very real.

Fear is real on literal yet its always been part of human nature on having this kind of condition of emotion which we do know that we are investing which means we do really value much out of our money which

it is normal to have those kind of reactions and speaking about fear into those banning then its normal but if you do trust up that Bitcoin community does have that strong support then you would at least
not really been affected that much as long you do have that trust and experience in the market then it is unlikely you would really be panicking because of these events.

Its unavoidable in general sense because emotion is always been part of us.

That's what I think too, but I heard many times things like OP is saying here: "Fear is not Real", "Sooner or later we'll hit a new ATH", "Hodl, don't sell" etc. I personally believe those words myself, but there are times when you have to cash out even though you know well that the price may be several times higher in the future. I'm an optimist regarding the future of Bitcoin, but I wouldn't recommend anyone to bet big money on that, especially short term.

Fear is something that cant really be avoided since its part of human nature on having this kind of emotion on where you would really be able to feel it because we dont like to lose money.

Whenever you do tend to resist on not to fear but still it would cripples out into your spine and mind because you do know on what would happen if things gets more worst.

No matter how experienced you are but still it wont be something that cant really be removed on someone for  them to feel out.

Fear is a difficult feeling to control, usually when it comes to money it is something that is difficult for many, especially when they realize that their money falls in value compared to other currencies, of course when BTC falls in price The other altcoins suffer a lot, and this is something that everyone knows, but when you have all the money invested in BTC you just have to be patient, because if it was bought before the last ATH it is obvious that at any moment it will go into a bullish trend and you will have better returns, investing in BTC is a WIN = WIN factor.

[MSahidan]

Fear can occur because we do not fully believe in something we have, in this case bitcoin.
When we want something, of course we have to sacrifice something, whether it's time, thought, energy, material or something else. Likewise with bitcoin, before we have it we must do research first, right? Find out, what is bitcoin? What is the purpose of bitcoin being created? And it takes time and thought to work on it. Then after all the things we have learned and all that we have sacrificed must disappear because of our fear? If so, I say, it would be foolish to lose by fear.
Don't let fear overpower all our ideals.

Through the history of Bitcoin every ATH was always surpassed by another one, sooner or later.  Even after a pretty long lasting bear market we always saw recovery, growth, and then one ATH after another in the end. Of course, this trend can't last forever, and one fine day we'll see an ATH that will never be surpassed, but at the moment we are far from saturation. Imo, it can happen after $200k for 1 BTC, but not earlier.

[Desmong]

When BTCitcoin is under 1 dollar people think it's another WebMoney kind of thing, greed was becoming Fear people failed to hold on it.

Same thing keep repeating itself first Greed enter's and it turned up into fear and bought wrong judgements.

Fear of loosing FOMO is where we get out of positions and accept losses, FUD is what makes market down and it keep repeating itself.

New entries are more infected by these two viruses FOMO & FUD, with experience we learn how to deal with it. If there are no more new entries BTCitcoin will become more stable.

90% of crypto geniuses failed just because they failed to HODL it learn from them don't be one of them.  

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

Should I smile? Cause I don't really understand what you meant by fear is not real. Just imagine you bought a toke and suddenly the market falls and keep falling and you kept calm and keep holding. Before you know it, the initial worth of your taken had fallen to half the value. Are you still going to keep holding when you know that the market will keep falling. This had happened to me and i sold all my positions and later I noticed that the coin lost its entire value.

It is really fascinating what can happen, according to the S2F model it can reach $ 288k, which is a figure that I see very possible, of course, I do not know how long it will take to get there, but it will be reached, in fact the new ones ATH is what allows investors to continue to believe in BTC widely, what I can imagine in the future is that BTC will be everyone's default currency worldwide where money will be handled and transferred immediately and with the acceptance of all, I think this is not far, we have been seeing countries that are joining the adoption of BTC and this causes the demand to increase.

[Dhaniii]

Fear is real when you think it is something scary and fear is not real when you are able to control that fear with an opportunity. many people fail in investing when they are always afraid of the occurrence of losses and loss of assets, while they are able to control that fear by investing in the right coins, so that now they become rich and become the most successful people in the world.

[Oilacris]

no matter how smart someone analyzes bitcoins will surely find mistakes and this is what creates fear but with the occurrence of mistakes sometimes makes the holder stronger to hold on what will happen is a challenge for holders like bullrun 2017-2018 which is still a scourge for me personally

As long as they can manage their fear and still analyze the bitcoin movement, I am sure they will see a chance to enter the market and trade without making a mistake. That is why every person who wants to enter the market needs to learn to control themselves, especially control the fear that can happen later. It needs the courage to say that they can control the fear while still trying to analyze the market and see their chance to buy low comes.

But there are people who doesnt really look up that way on which they do really tend to make out some short terms sells for them to have those short term gains.

They dont care nor mind about into those long term perspective and hopes towards bitcoin because they dont prefer on earning 1.5x or 2x since the value is on the rooftop now

on which this is why people do mostly focus on altcoins.Fear is obviously real and we are just humans we could normally felt it on every circumstances that we are on trouble.

Majority of new comers (including me when I initially joined crypto) come with mind that they will become rich overnight since thats what crypto is all about. With this mind set they adopt day trading and end up losing all they have. IMO HODLING is the only strategy that can save you from losses in the long run.

Overcoming fear when it comes to any crypto related stuffs is a big challenge that is not easy to be overcome as a newbie, personally as a newbie I feared whenever the  the price of bitcoin is dumping and consequently sell off my coins then, however with time and experience I began to hodl my assets having studied how price dumped as well recovered in the past that historical events had allay all my fears in any event of price dumping while having confidence of price recovery, infact with reference to charting analysis it very obvious that price always bounce back after correction.

[stomachgrowls]

Fear is another word of getting panic, and you only become panic when someone gives you the wrong information, or you have a lack of knowledge about investing. Bitcoin is all about holding the coin, and if you know how to control and not to sell while you're in a panic, then you'll earn the profits. If you want to enter the bitcoin community, you have knocked out the fear inside you; otherwise, there are no chances of getting profit. That's the summary of bitcoins.

Fear is on general which do include in all scope under it which would really be a normal since we are just humans and these emotions would really be always a part of us.

We are dealing into something which doesnt give out assurance and we do invest our money which it is normal to have these kind of reactions whenever we do something wrong.
Fear is real and every human would definitely be going into this process because we wont really be doing our best on the first place if werent serious on dealing with things
because you dont feel anything like getting scared or being afraid.

[nurilham]

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

Fear is a mindkiller,
It may not be real to be seen, but it really can influence our reality. Fear is an emotional thing and feeling.
In this crypto industry, fear includes several things. Fear can really make some people panic and in control in doing something.
If you say fear is not real and the first thing to learn about Bitcoin is by Holding, not all people have a similar mind.
It may be a good thing, but not all people have that kind of capital for holding. Additionally, the next question is "how long is holding that should be conducted?"

Fear is on general which do include in all scope under it which would really be a normal since we are just humans and these emotions would really be always a part of us.

Yes, and we are likely cannot be separated from this, except we can control our emotion and fear itself. If we can't, fear will drive us to do something under control, drive us to think negatively, overly, and others. It needs some learning process in the crypto industry to be able to control our fear and be usual with this situation.

If you are in group of people where majority of them get  panic for sure you might be gotten on what they feel especially when you keep reading the news about latest happening and watching your portfolio. This is unavoidable and might we will think about what other did already. But if we just listen or learn from our experience then delete the apps where it tracks our portfolio then possibly we can conquer the fear and wait for something good or bounce back to happen.

Yes, I think it's totally legit to apply the stock-to-flow model to Bitcoin, because BTC is a store of value(in spite of what haters say). We have built-in scarcity, not more than 21 million coins will ever exist. We have a diminishing supply, cut in half every 4 years. And, do we have strong demand? You bet we do! How long it will take to reach $288k? Just look at the history of Bitcoin price movements, 7x from today's price can be reached in less than a year.

Investing in Bitcoin the first time wasn’t really an issue for me, because I was already investing in some stocks, and with the experience  I have had with the stock market, I was expecting to have similar experience in Bitcoin, and even worse than that because I already knew that Bitcoin was a volatile investment.

So, when I started and I was seeing how the price kept fluctuating, I wasn’t really scared and the good thing was the amount I invested wasn’t something that I would worry much about, and I was also ready to go for it long term, which I would say was because of me doing my research and understanding everything about the market before I started, although the view that a lot of people had back then is quite different from what it is now. But I was able to hold on and gain profit from it before making any sale at first .

You invested in a shitcoin. No well developed and well known coins will drop that much within short period of time. Whatever OP said isn't applicable for shitcoins. Shitcoins are for greedy people willing to take a risk  to get rich overnight (which is very unlikely to happen). If you see a shitcoin tanking down really bad, sell as soon as you can to cut your loss short. But if they are coins like Bitcoin or Ethereum, then don't sell when you are at a loss. Don't panic. Don't fear. Keep holding and if you can invest, invest more when the price is low. In the long run, it will give you some very good profit.

There will always be fear because every investor or Bitcoin trader will never think alike and there will always be newcomers to the space. We cannot say that only the newcomers have this fear but even the veteran traders too but some have been able to overcome this by understanding that, what FUD and FOMO cause to the market can be corrected if you are a HODLer and there has been proved to this, so until many traders/investors understand this, there will always be fear which I believe is part of the system. 

[hd49728]

Fear is real, indeed. If anyone says there is no fear exists in his or her life, it is a lie. We are human so that we have to experience our lives with emotion and uncontrolled psychology as well.

You can not control such things but if you have good investment strategy and understand the market, you can build up a strategy for yourself to cope with fear.

Most of people who are engaged in the market fail to do this and it is why we see fear and greed reflected in market.  The Fear and Greed index shows that https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/

Do you think all people will feel fearful in red days or all will feel greedy in green days? There are minority of them will do oppositely with the crowd. So who are they? They are winners on the market.

[noormcs5]

Fear is real, while panic is also real. People tend to panic when they see the price rise, so they think they will be too late if they do not buy right now. If you can manage your emotion and not panic when you see the price move, you will see your chance to buy any coins, not just bitcoin because only with calm down will you see that chance. You can hold bitcoin without having altcoin but still, you need to calm down and not fear the price movements because that will happen with the crypto.

If fear was not real, we would not have seen selling pressure on Bitcoin prices. Unfortunately, the fear is real but the genius are those who buy in fear times instead of selling. That's how you can get crypto at a very cheap prices.  Buy on fear and sell on greed is a secret to sucess.

Fear is applicable to others while not in me, there are ways that is why Fear is dominant and that happens in dumping market, this is also the reason why we are seeing the volatility of the market because of those weak people in which can sell the coins when they felt afraid .
so Fear is Real but not for everyone .

[Mr.sprin]

The fear is real, many people sell their coins when the price starts to fall because of panic, there are even projects that are afraid to distribute tokens like the CITIZEN project they delay token distribution maybe they are afraid if their tokens are distributed to bounty hunters their token price will go down, this project that made the bounty hunters were disappointed even because the CITIZEN project ruined the name of their other projects otherwise the CITIZEN team was not responsible or the bounty distribution they ran away after their project was successful and ignored the bounty hunters.

Every beginning is always difficult, but there is a golden argument to trust in BTC, when we only make a small comparison of the Stock Market and the BTC, we see that both markets do not correlate with each other, maybe in the short term, but it is not a complete correlation, the reason is simple, in the stock market you must choose the best of the actions to guarantee profits, and sometimes the study of these actions takes a lot of time and money to decide to buy, instead with BTC the investment is safe , there is no need to do any research, because it is the safest investment in the world, where it will never let you down.

It is real if you believe on it but experts say that fear is only an imaginary thing and its only in our head. Some people sells not because of panic but they are organize , they have set stop losses to avoid loosing further but I guess there is still a fear involved with that. And for the bounty projects? Yes, I saw lots of bounties work like that that delay payments but the point is that they completed the payments. They should try paying other cryptos next time if they fear that their own coin will dump. To those projects that ran away , that is not what you called fear anymore but that is a crime called scamming.

Right, but how many times something like this happened before? I can't say the exact number but I remember reading about several noticeable crashes before BTC even reached $100 per coin. And after that Bitcoin graph was always looking like rollercoaster. It's just our own choice to make, to live always in fear and worry, or to finally understand that after winter comes spring. No matter how cold the winter feels, spring will come, as always.

Hello to all,
you know this website: wfwjfm.com ? is a bticoin site, but i don't know if is a good site or scam?
what do yo think?
regards

You fool , do you think there are still stupid people here that will click your site? lol look at the website is that a bitcoin site? 

if fear and risk are not real, no one will learn and repent if no trials come and in a loss no one learns something and pays with money.  and in these invincible and win games, people are always getting and learning about two things, profit or experience.  there is no loss if the reason is money.

Of course, as you're saying, we are just humans, and these emotions would always be a part of us. The main point is controlling these emotions and showing high patience when you're in a panic.

When you called Panicking that is uncontrollable mate so how can be controlling be part when the person is already in Panic?

Fear is accurate, and without surpassing it, you can not win the reward or survive. But once you defeat your fear, no one can stop you from achieving your goal. It's hard initially, but later, it becomes an easy game for you.

Fear is part of us Human , but the thing here is how we will deal with it, because even when we are afraid we cans till have the courage to fight .

[Betwrong]

Only when your investment is on btc or eth you can have some peace of mind and rest assured that once market fully recovered there is a high possibility you will regain your investment and profit, despite knowing this, some new investor are still afraid of the market dip and quickly sell their coins, most of them don't really understand how the market works, they usually don't equipped themselves with the basic information before investing, they are mainly concerned about profit and fail to learn the important part.

It may look like it's easy to make big profits on some altcoins, and many people fall for that, and then after getting burned they are afraid of investing in BTC too. I'm not trying to say that everyone should invest in BTC right away and that their profit is guaranteed. I'm just saying that it is more likely that you will not lose most part of your investment if you invest in an established project like BTC than in something that most likely is successful only for a short time, however promising it may seem.

[lenovop-70]

I think you are right, there is no real fear in holding Bitcoin, as long as blockchain is needed, I think the price of Bitcoin as the mother of all Blockchain will continue to rise because it is needed as a means of digital investment.
Also the limited stock of Bitcoin itself which makes it more expensive due to his rarity, so I don't think there is any real fear in holding Bitcoin in long term.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I personally think that fear is very real, most people are afraid to sell, afraid to go up again, if they don't sell they are afraid the price will go down again, some are afraid to buy because they are afraid of losing, but only strong people are never afraid, whatever happens will be faced, Profit and loss is normal for those who are mentally strong, because in the name of business there must be ups and downs.

I don't think that people are afraid to go up again. In fact, everyone wants to see the market again on high and that's why I don't think that many are like that just as you're saying.

Strong people are those that has firm plans and are aware of the possibilities of what can happen. They're not afraid because they have plans and enough experiences.

When a person invests in BTC and then checks his wallet and sees the value in fiat, it may cause him some fear, more so if he is a person who is starting in the world of BTC or cryptocurrencies, but what that person should have in mind is, if your investment is only in BTC there is no problem, because it is known that if the money is not needed it can be left there starting to get fat, because at any moment the BTC can reach its last ATH it can even exceed the price and reach further still, generating high-level profits, but for this you must have a purely investment culture.

One of the things i do really avoid when i do look on portfolio is on focusing that much in fiat value but honestly this is something a really hard thing to be avoided considering that you are
checking out your investment and its really just part of us on making out reactions out of those investment that we do had which is something normal as a human.
This would only differ on each person on how they would control that kind of emotion on which they could able to bare out and able to do next move
without being affected much in terms of thinking.

I once joined bounty poolz they also pay in stages when they delay payment they make group news for participants not to panic but unlike the CITIZEN project we asked about distribution to the team they answered we don't know the bounty, I'm sure like you said their citizen scamming project cowards run away from responsibility.

[ChrisPop]

I would disagree here. If you feel it, then it is as real as it gets. It is like saying thinking Idk angriness or happiness is not real. If what we perceive is not real, then what is?
Naturally people who are new to the crypto space feel more emotion when trading than experienced peers.  Fears minimize when they are faced - something that just a few of us do.

Just HODLing Bitcoin has proven to be a very profitable strategy so I don't see why newbies wouldn't start with that.

[Mame89]

Bitcoin may be temporarily down as interest rates are currently rising. I think the decline will be temporary, and for those who already hold BTC I think there is no need to sell it at the current price if you need to collect as much BTC as we can and hold it for a long period of time and just ignore what people say that are not convincing.

[kotajikikox]

Bitcoin may be temporarily down as interest rates are currently rising. I think the decline will be temporary,

Of course temporary , how many times this had happened?

Bitcoin will dump but in time will pump, Bitcoin will lose momentum but in time will recover.

and for those who already hold BTC I think there is no need to sell it at the current price

Do you understand what you say? that is why they are called HOLDER because they are not selling even in bear season.

if you need to collect as much BTC as we can and hold it for a long period of time and just ignore what people say that are not convincing.

Ignoring people is not needed because we can see that in market movement and that is what you need to check and  ignore.

Fear is only real for people who can't control their panic as we have seen before, whenever there is a downturn in the market then most people can't control their panic of course they are afraid the market will lose price forever, thereby causing them to sell all their assets despite losing.

I am with you on this one, acting out of fear is general not a good idea. Fear same as greed, cloud our mind and let us act irrational. Both emotions should be avoided as much as possible as trader, because if we trade on them it is usually ends in overreactions. The bitcoin price right now already recovered a bit and is trading strong above the 30,000 USD. For all the panic sellers who sold their coins in fear it might be difficult to reenter the market. The next rally could be around the corner. That's why I am such  strong believer of HODL investing. Crypto currencies tend to move in cycles and if we commit to it, we will not fall into the trap to trade out of fear.

[Slow death]

I am with you on this one, acting out of fear is general not a good idea.

It depends on the situation, there are situations where fear saves us. and also in the world of investments fear can be a great ally, for example when the price was at $68000, all people who were afraid that the price could drop a lot they sold and today they can buy more bitcoins, so in this case fear was the salvation of these people. blind hodl is the biggest danger I see, people need to know entry point and sell point they can't just think that they will only be buying and doing eternal hold and that even when the price drops a lot they can't sell, an explosion like that scenario is the current scenario where people are at a loss because they bought in the $68000

[Henrobakkara]

If fear was not real, we would not have seen selling pressure on Bitcoin prices. Unfortunately, the fear is real but the genius are those who buy in fear times instead of selling. That's how you can get crypto at a very cheap prices.  Buy on fear and sell on greed is a secret to sucess.

Fear is only real for people who can't control their panic as we have seen before, whenever there is a downturn in the market then most people can't control their panic of course they are afraid the market will lose price forever, thereby causing them to sell all their assets despite losing.

I agree with you but I think that most retailers are mostly looking for quick profit so we could always expect to see these reactions in the market during any correction but the true believers that know that investment best result for investment are mostly over a longer time, those don't exhibit such fear plus they understand the market.

Good point. Although I personally think that while we are below $200k you can safely buy at any ATH and still be in profit in the long run, at this moment you are right saying that fear saved some people from buying at $68k+. Indeed right now they can simply buy more BTC for the same money. It's only when you can afford holding for several years, in other words, when you will certainly don't need the money spent on buying BTC for a long time, you can fearlessly invest those money in Bitcoin.

[Mamun74]

Many People join investment in bitcoin 2020-2022 i think they don’t know bitcoin long journey. When I'm start about bitcoin journey then bitcoin price was too low like $300-400$ but some previous year bitcoin price was around $1-2$ this time but now bitcoin price huge increase and touched $65k+ in 2021.

A person will have fear at any level, even now when bitcoin is not worth 68,000, but 38000, people are still afraid that it may fall lower. And if the price will be 20k, the person will still have the same fear. But I agree with you that the exit point should be determined at the stage of buying a coin. Greed is perhaps an even more terrible enemy of people than fear.

Why will they invest from something that they are not familiar with? But, if they did then those people are already bankrupt and have left the bitcoin scene. However there are people that joined late but they are different from the first one that I said because they did a research first if what is btc and what is its story. Good for you that you know bitcoin earlier than most of us but the era were you start looks traumatic.

My salute goes to you guys old hodlers because you manage to overcome your fears . you deserve whatever profits you got now in btc. Let's hope that newbies in this scene will learn from your past experiences.

[Zanab247]

To some people fear is not real but for me fear is real, or since I missed many opportunities to sell when the price was high and I feel it will still go up before I can release them for sale that made me to lose profits last year 2021, Bitcoin price has dropped to $37 that is making many investors to start worry about their holding if what happened last year will still repeat itself again. Many people has not recover from the shock they got from exchange market during Christmas and new year celebration.
Since bitcoin has decreased to $37, there is a great fear to those that need huge amount of money to do one or two things in the community.

[ThereinX]

Always HODL!!!

You would really be on fear on these kind of conditions neither you are a newbie or an experienced person which is truly unavoidable because we are just humans.It is just normal to have these kind of

reactions whenever prices do decline out which that tingle feeling would really be felt out but the difference into those people who are experienced is that they do able to handle such situation

since they are fully aware on whats its behavior compared into those new ones and thats the edge if you do ask me.

[OgNasty]

Will Smith made an entire movie about this, complete with big scary fear sensing monsters and a young boy's struggle to contain his emotions.  Not a bad flick actually.  The movie was called After Earth and here's the quote I'm referring to:

Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. That is near insanity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSKzLtRzY78

I've seen so many people make bad decisions out of fear.  I think it's best to train yourself to not have fear.  Whether this be with desensitizing yourself to scary situations or just making a conscious effort to disregard emotions that will be harmful in intense situations.  Personally, I like to watch lots of horror movies late at night and put myself in situations that others may find uncomfortable.  As a result, when in dangerous situations I do not cower in fear, but step forward with an adrenaline rush and sense of excitement.

[bitbunnny]

When it comes to Bitcoin there is always a little bit of fear. Or maybe fear is too strong word but caution might be appropriate. Any serious Bitcoin holder isn't fully relaxed even when the market is fully green.
Too much emotions could be bad and prevent you from rational thinking and decision making however you can't exclude it entirely. If you ask me s small amount of fear is good and keeps you awake.

Fear level would depend on how experienced you are on which if you arent that experienced enough then you would really be having that kind of fear which is on higher level.
but if you are aware on how things works on this market then you wouldnt really make yourself on rattling whenever you do experience out things but if you are just new
then its normal that you would really be having these kind of reactions but if not then it is really just common.

[savetheFORUM]

Bitcoin may be temporarily down as interest rates are currently rising. I think the decline will be temporary, and for those who already hold BTC I think there is no need to sell it at the current price if you need to collect as much BTC as we can and hold it for a long period of time and just ignore what people say that are not convincing.

It’s not really about ignoring what people are having to say, it’s mainly about you knowing what is right and what is wrong information in the market. If you decide to keep on ignoring every thing and every information that you’re being given, you might be ignoring the right information that would be of use to you and you wouldn’t know that.

So, it is very important you know what’s right and wrong, be able to filter whatever information and get the right ones. Sometimes you don’t need anybody to guide you ,you just need your thoughts to guide you in making the right decision that you’re meant to make.

Fear of missing out and fear, uncertainty and doubt are not only words that is associated to cryptocurrency alone.
These are words that is associated to human behaviour. It is what human being does even before cryptocurrency came to exist.
Now that it has find meaning in cryptocurrency, it means it will remain in the system as long as human being is in cryptocurrency.
Humans are full of uncertainty and fear. Fear of not hodling and fear of missing out.

This is how the system works and besides, FEAR had something to do with the market and this even make it more volatile. In fact, FEAR has a huge influence on decision-making, and this is sometimes a cause of our losses. Whether we like it or not, FEAR will exist on us and we can't rid it out no matter what we do.

Fear or other related emotions would really be there thats why its not surprising that there are market conditions which do shows a valid proof on how its been mainly affected with fear specially into those
times on where FUD do happens which you could see that everywhere there's a blood on the streets and investors are really that hesitant on making out investment decisions within these times
thats why success would really be varying on someone on how they would dealt up with the market.

Fear only affects the small fishes which have no influence over bitcoin's price. If they sell their coins or not, it won't have any impact on bitcoin price at all... The problem are the whales moving huge amounts of bitcoins in single transactions. And they don't do this because they fear the market, rather they sell their coins because a more tempting opportunity is disponible to them (like the currently increase in interest rates in USA) in another market.

So, it's not fear the cause of bearish markets and crashes in price. It's just the lack of temporary interest from big investors for crypto universe because their money is generating more income by sitting somewhere else...

Actually it is also needed to accumulate the market condition, right? If people don't have any fear to sell their Bitcoins then institution will never be able to buy a lot of coins within short period. 
Another thing is long term hodling is not for newbies. Actually, new traders are always worried about their investment and start panicking as soon as they see bearish conditions. Only those who have been monitoring Bitcoin for a long time can do long-term hodling. In short trading, the risk is higher than the profit, whereas if you can hold long term, it is normal to gain your investment 2x or 3x.

[lalabotax]

People must have fear, it is normal. It is impossible to expect everyone has no fear, investment should always have some risks that make people be fear. As long as the market condition is changeable, fear will exist. But sure, fear isn't always a bad thing, it sometimes gives us a chance to buy at a low price. If people aren't fear, they mustn't sell at a cheap price.

Another thing is long term hodling is not for newbies. Actually, new traders are always worried about their investment and start panicking as soon as they see bearish conditions.

Why don't? Depends on the coin. If it is Bitcoin, holding it for a long time is very appropriate for newbies. Bitcoin value is increasing from one halving to another halving, we may see Bitcoin price above $80k in the next halving, in 2024-2025. So, for newbies, it is the right decision to buy Bitcoin now and hold it until the next halving.

It's not true, the fact is small fishes is everywhere in crypto and a group of small fishes could be the same size of a whale, so if they are panicked reading about bad news it could also impact the market, that's the target of the whales they want to make them panicked to the price will be lower before the whales are buying at the dip while the newbies are FOMO when it starts to rise again.

A person will have fear at any level, even now when bitcoin is not worth 68,000, but 38000, people are still afraid that it may fall lower. And if the price will be 20k, the person will still have the same fear. But I agree with you that the exit point should be determined at the stage of buying a coin. Greed is perhaps an even more terrible enemy of people than fear.

I absolutely agree with you. I mean, it's not "perhaps", greed is definitely much worse than fear. You might not earn big profits because of your fear, but because of your greed you can lose everything you have. I think it would be right to say, "Don't be afraid of holding when it's crashing big time", but it would right only if the amount invested was not that significant for you.

[Prosector]

Ups and downs are a part of every financial market. If the market won’t fall, how will it rise? And if there are no falls and rises, we won’t be able to make any money.

[darewaller]

FOMO which is fear of missing out has led a lot of traders and investors into making the wrong choice. People invest without knowing how to invest, and they trade without having the proper skills that are required for trading these cryptocurrencies or in any other market.

This is totally wrong. They wouldn’t invest in the market and they would all be waiting, and when the market starts to go up they will all show up and start rushing. The funny part is that you would see some analysts without knowledge on cryptocurrency fuelling their greed by giving them the assurance that the market would keep going up. This is how they would end up all rushing and the market would crash all of a sudden.

[DoublerHunter]

What is real is the risk, if you don't calculate the risk very well, then the fear will come. Investing in bitcoin does not guarantee you'll be financially free in the future as those people who are successful now took risk and they are also realistic enough to see the possible bad side of bitcoin which is failure of their investment.

^ Fear exists normally once working with crypto, but in order to avoid losing money, we must exercise discipline and never become greedy of money, as well as manage ourselves to overcome our fear. However, it is unrealistic to demand it from newbies who are eager to see their investment develop and become concerned when they encounter difficulties, perhaps, they will learn from their mistakes.
But I remember my grandfather once said, if you don't want to risk you don't become success.

[laurenB7742]

90% of crypto geniuses failed just because they failed to HODL it learn from them don't be one of them.  

In fact, when it comes to FUD, it can be very difficult to control yourself. When you see your dollar halved in front of your eyes and China, Russia, USA are banning bitcoin, mining is also banned, no ordinary person can be calm without being upset.
These FUD creators actually want people to sell Bitcoin at a lower price so that they can buy it at a lower price. So, I always say invest the amount of money you can afford to lose.

Right! Fear won’t let you lose what you have but greed will surely. At the time when the market is crashing down, it is important to be patient and hold the position. Looking at the past behaviours of the market will dip but also rise significantly.

But we should always keep in mind that that can take time, can take years sometimes. So before investing in crypto currency, even in Bitcoin, the safest one, we should not be doing it in a hurry. We should stop and think about the probability of needing the money in the near future. Only if we have a stable job which makes unlikely the necessity of cashing out whatever the rate, we can invest in BTC without fearing the consequences.

[Betwrong]

~If we can be patient waiting for the price of Bitcoin to rise, then there is no need to be afraid when the price of Bitcoin falls.
Because as long as we don't sell it, actually if the Bitcoin price goes down we haven't suffered a loss.

Excellent point! I remember when BTC price went from $19k to $3k many people were experiencing bad feelings. Indeed, seeing your capital has shrunk 6 times, it hurts, right? I personally suffered big losses back then because I urgently needed money, so I sold a lot at around $3,500. But those who could afford holding, they were perfectly fine. The only thing they needed to not be upset was staying away from Bitcoin charts. 

[Marykeller]

FOMO is an emotionally draining habit that has got many stocked in investing wrongly in shitty altcoins rather than bitcoin. It's hard to let go of such feelings(fomo) when you are being caught up with it.

Fear is one of the factors that has limited people from getting to where they might have being.When fear is in the work that one is working,there is every tendency that the project is not going to be fruitful the way it's supposed to.

Fear is the highest factor that limits people from reaching their set goal.Fear is what makes one not to take reasonable risks that can lead to success.

This is why taking risk is the key but we know that it could be ending up on two possible outcome which is neither you would make profits or would totally lost money depending on the outcome.

This is why risk taking could neither give out a financial freedom or totally wrecked up.You wouldnt know until you do try this is why we do see various
risk taking events ending up both ways.

Fear is normal because we are just humans but doesnt mean that it would completely hinders you out on taking risk.

[amiacaroline37]

We people should have dread, stress, nervousness and frenzy, in light of the fact that these attributes are ordinary for us people, when costs are high we most certainly feel cheerful and need to have loads of bitcoins for us to sell, however when costs are down, we likewise have a stressed outlook on unsteady costs, particularly when certain gatherings post pessimistic things about bitcoin, obviously we feel furious blended in with alarm, yet we have a stand, and I accept that what we plant is certainly what we will procure sometime in the not so distant future......

those who really hold Bitcoin since it was still worth $ 1 until now are those who have extraordinary faith and are also affluent. for those who have a down economy I'm sure they will immediately sell Bitcoin when it rises 5x or 10x from $1. Fear is not real but everyone's economic pressure is different.

I don't think fear is not real, fear exist. People panic when ever they see the price of coins they invested in crashed. Many do sell what is left and loses. But, I think patience is very important when it comes to Crypto Investment, try to hold unto your coins. Don't let fear and greedy to make you take decisions you might end up regretting later. One can sell, and the price starts to pump. Also, is adviseable to always invest amount you can afford to lose. Those who were greedy and sold their bitcoin when the price climbed $1 are probably regretting now.

Not only patience but you should also be wise on making out decisions whether which project/coin you would tend to invest and not just trying to accumulate without having those reconsiderations on doing so.

Fear is normal for a person to be felt off because we do value our money much and we are afraid on losing it and on the time you are seeing your portfolio is going down then you would really be having
that kind of normal reaction.Even professionals or veterans on the market couldnt really be that numb for them not to feel of these emotions.Fear is real which you would definitely
be trying to avoid as much as you can.

[perfect999]

When it come to fear of the market, I think those who had experience and losses with other project would tend to have the fear of losing their funds again. Having fear is normal and it's not a crime but sometimes some fear of the market are not just it because they are just as ignorant and abnormal.

Take for example, if you had $10,000, and out of the $10,000 and you decide to invest $10 in Bitcoin, and you now have $9,990 left, would you be afraid of losing that $10 if the market should go down? The answer is no, and that is because you invested a little amount which is an amount that you can afford to lose in the market. That is one way you can avoid fear in the market, by investing what you can lose.

But, if you are lucky and the market goes up instead of decreasing in value, that becomes a profit for you. You would make profit from the market, using an amount that you never cared about losing or winning with at all. Of course fear is in everyone, but you only get to feel it when you do the wrong thing.

This sounds like something a cult leader would say, not someone who deserves any credit or degree of trust. Fear is a very useful and helpful survival instinct, probably one of the things that has gotten humanity this far. Knowing the limits and expected parameters you are working with can help gauge a risk to reward ratio. For all this talk of "holding forever" is is absolute drivel and meaningless, life has expenses and making a nice return on your investments requires cashing out at times. Knowing when to trim your losses while finding a happy medium between risk and optimism for the future is a skill you need to learn. Diversification is a great tool to shield your wealth from volatility and large losses so should definitely be encouraged.

Whether we do like it or not which fear is always be having or be part of us since we are just humans which are emotional and does have that kind of instinct which same as you said.
We do normally react out on something which we dont really like to happen which it is really very common on having that kind of reaction in times that our investment is getting on reds.
Sometimes panicking out could lead into some good call decision but most of it would end up on a mistake thats why controlling emotions is much needed and recommended.

Fear is not a good thing, and that is the same thing with greed. They are both bad, and it’s something that one should always try to avoid by any means necessary. People will only fall victims of fear and greed when they don’t plan themselves ahead of time before investing in the market.

When you don’t make plans and you just get into what you do not fully understand, you would be caught off guard and that would lead you into being afraid or you will become greedy when you see the market going up, and in the process of you trying to gather as much as possible you might end up being left alone at the top and price will plummet which will make you lose your money.

When your real money gets involved, fear is real. You won’t be able to take a step ahead if you are not careful enough to save your money. Learn it or don’t do it at all. Chances may be expensive.

[RavenTimmy]

@LUCKMCFLY I agree with this, there are people who regret selling their BTC when it’s value dropped by 50%. Though at that point of time it was genuine for anyone to panic. But today we say the fear was not real at that time.

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

Fear is real mate, it is very real and it will continue to exist as long as the market and investors are concerned.
But what we can do for ourselves is to educate ourselves and learn from past mistakes, this will help us overcome fear individually at our own different pace.

For example, see this as one passing through elementary or primary school, when you started in primary 1, there are people in primary 6 who are about to have their common entrance examination and leave the school(leave fear), amongst this people, some will pass and leave that school(leave fear) while others who fail will have to repeat the class(continue to learn how to overcome/leave fear).
 Going forward, you eventually landed in primary 6 which is the last class to leave school/fear, and looking back, there are new ones in primary 1 who are just starting out just like you ones did.

So thats it, just like school exists and many people pass through it before they become something in life, so does fear exist and we all at some point in our lives must pass through it, only education, learning from experiences(other people's and ourselves) will help us pass through fear and leave it behind just like we left school.

In my opinion fear is not a good process and it should avoidable fear kills a man if we do a activity with fear it would not be a complete process and it could not attain in right way and the main thing that fear is not real if fear doesnt on you we will do such all things in an easy manner . fear obtain to us in many ways mostly by spreading fear to one person to another is too dangerous if the thing doesnt that much worthy and person spreading the news as most sensational .and the another person will remain fear while hearing opponent persons suggestion so fear is not real it is like a rumor

I think everyone has fear. It's a natural that God has given us. It's a lie if someone doesn't have that. So then it's left to everyone. The person who can manage his fears (related to crypto) I think he is able to survive and succeed. It takes courage to get started but at least it has to be tried.
If there is a bads news that is natural it is not necessarily true, a good person certainly knows how to seek the truth. After that, of course, you will decide what to do next. Of course, direct experience will teach you a better lesson.

We are just humans which means that we are susceptible when it comes to emotional kind of reactions on particular things and since we do know that we dont like on losing money then
it is really inevitable that you would really have that fear or emotion or being scared whenever you do able to experience or encounter such condition but somehow as you do progress
by or able to have some experience then you would able to control that kind of emotion which its a must thing specially here on crypto space.

[xSkylarx]

When BTCitcoin is under 1 dollar people think it's another WebMoney kind of thing, greed was becoming Fear people failed to hold on it.

Not because they are afraid of it, but because they lack knowledge about it and do not trust it, I believe this is the case. If I saw a bitcoin way back in 2009, and that money is only a small amount of money, and I became interested in it, I think I would buy some just to hold onto it and forget about it because it is unfamiliar thing for me. There is no fear of it because you are just trying it out for fun and not expecting to make any money from it. However, having it is a distinct advantage because it is a new technology.

[omone1]

Best time to buy bitcoin is 10yrs ago and second best to buy bitcoin is now. With years to come, people will keep asking "should I buy now that it has hit $100K or we are headed for $200k" if one has an idle fund, best is to get a hardware wallet and buy bitcoin then keep it inside and consider it a future generational investment, this way, one won't be shaking when the market is correcting.

[darkangel11]

I have completely no fear when it comes to Bitcoin and its price because I paid out my investment years ago. When Bitcoin first tripled in price I took 1/3 which was the money I spent to buy it and all that was left was pure profit that kept on multiplying for many years. I bought many things with my coins over the years and I still own more than I had when I bought fore the first time. I want Bitcoin to succeed but if it were to fail it's just no more profits for me instead of a loss.

The only thing that would worry me is if the governments managed to destroy it because if they can do it to a strong decentralized idea it means they can do what they want and there's no stopping total control.

Fear is one of the human instincts and it is part of us, in investing fear sometimes it will make us make wrong decisions so by controlling fear and curbing greed we have more than 50% chance of winning in the market.
Bitcoin is a volatile market so fear will be even more present among us. When bitcoin plummets, we still know that bitcoin falls then rises, but fear drives us to make decisions that we regret in retrospect.

It would be always a part of us on which it is normal on having this kind of reaction or emotion into something not only limited on trading but also in other aspects as well on which if we do
feel out some danger then its normal that we would really get scared.In terms of investment then it is really just normal on having these reactions because it couldnt be avoided that
you would be minding on how you should make out decisions which would avoid on losing your investment although its impossible not to commit out but handing out your emotions
would be helpful for you to survive this market.

When BTCitcoin is under 1 dollar people think it's another WebMoney kind of thing, greed was becoming Fear people failed to hold on it.

Same thing keep repeating itself first Greed enter's and it turned up into fear and bought wrong judgements.

Fear of loosing FOMO is where we get out of positions and accept losses, FUD is what makes market down and it keep repeating itself.

New entries are more infected by these two viruses FOMO & FUD, with experience we learn how to deal with it. If there are no more new entries BTCitcoin will become more stable.

90% of crypto geniuses failed just because they failed to HODL it learn from them don't be one of them.  

First thing to learn in BTCitcoin is Hodl it - Fear is not Real

Yeah fear ain't real if you got the time and funds to wait out the waves. I feel like most of us start panicking when we trade out of emotions you gotta let your emotions not affect you. Drink a warm up of tea and turn off the graphs for the day. But yeah i think staking and farming is quite safe way to go about it if you're HODL'in it anyways i've been with #Lunafi for quite some time now they're a metaverse gambling project with a Yield farming for annual rewards. Everytime someone places a bet you gain more liquidity which in the long run looks really promising. The second one i'm planning on holding onto is $ENGN due to their impressive ability to implement blockchain technology onto non-blockchain projects without having to rewrite the whole base code. Which is only matter of time until projects are going over to blockchain technology anyways in my opinion and they got a really addictive shooter coming out this one that feels and looks like Fortnite on steroids. I feel like those 2 are worth holding for long time one for annual passive rewards and one game studio token. Any thoughts on them?

[leverageguy]

It would be wrong to expect to make profits from bitcoin immediately after you put in your money because the asset is not always showing price hikes. You have to be patient and wait for the results; otherwise, don’t take the risks. Making no profits is better than making losses.

[Mr.sprin]

Fear is a natural thing in humans, there are times when we are afraid and sometimes we are happy, it's just that when investing in bitcoin, then when the price goes down, fear will come, we shouldn't rush to conclusions, most people when they are afraid. they will sell their assets, i have experienced in 2018 i was afraid when the coin price dropped and i sold it. Now I'm sorry, in the future I will not repeat the same mistake.

[landheer]

In trading, of course, the main capital other than money is that we must be prepared with risks, namely losses and profits.
and of course we have to dig deeper into the science of trading. and according to my experience in trading, especially in bitcoin and crypto, we don't panic when the price goes down because it will rise again later. So I think we shouldn't be too afraid for any situation.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

FOMO & FUD

FOMO means a fear of feeling left behind, so doing activities outside of the norm, this is not good for entering the market.
While FUD is more into the distribution of negative values which have almost the same meaning as FOMO. following the two actually makes people miss the opportunity to start a good investment.

90% of crypto geniuses failed just because they failed to HODL it learn from them don't be one of them.  

So that we don't get caught up in the 90% of geniuses who fail, it is necessary to pay attention to several things before heading to the market, analysis and previous trips must be considered before heading to the prospects we want to do.

[Zanab247]

I disagree with you OP,  the first thing to know about Bitcoin is how to follow it procedure when to buy for long term trading and what you will achieve at the end of the investment when the price pump higher in the community. Those that understood the system in the community fear not whenever bear market occur in the market than to hold with bold mind and wait for the right time to come before they can sell to make a good profits.

One of the most common mistakes traders make which is controlling power. When any coin, including the Bitcoin coin, has a little bit of upside, many investors think it might be the last dip that will never come back. As a result, they panic and invest. As a result they are exposed to huge losses. Always remember that no matter how dynamic the market is. It will come back to you again after some time and never invest out of fear.

[|MINER|]

~snip~

You are right mate and I think that's mistakes we all did already and doing continuously. After touching 25k II thought it might go like 28K as many others called 25K as support zone but it didn't and I am now in loss on my short term trade.

Fear is indeed very real and very easy to exploit in people who do not know how to keep their emotional states under control because they made investments in Bitcoin that they themselves do not truly believe in.

What I think you mean is that fear has no use and can only hinder your decision making.

Whales count on this chaos because it's how they make money.

People need to understand that, and once they do, fear becomes ignorable.

I used to have fears back in the old days of investing and all those fears did was make me lose my Bitcoin. It's just never worth making fear-based decisions. I do not recommend it.

[lucates]

Fear is real, while panic is also real. People tend to panic when they see the price rise, so they think they will be too late if they do not buy right now. If you can manage your emotion and not panic when you see the price move, you will see your chance to buy any coins, not just bitcoin because only with calm down will you see that chance. You can hold bitcoin without having altcoin but still, you need to calm down and not fear the price movements because that will happen with the crypto.

I don't disagree with you at all. The volatility of cryptocurrencies, speculation, false news, scams, FOMO etc., everything makes people feel scared. Many are reluctant to come because that's the terrain without government support. So there is fear, but people are still optimistic and believe in it to build the future.

Not all things been assured on this crypto market and its part where FUD and shills or something talks about manipulation is really that very common to happen on this market and when the market

is going down then it cant really be avoided for someone who did make out some investment here on crypto market will really be having those fear and panic towards their investment specially when you do really

see your portfolio is going down which is something an inevitable thing to happen.Fear is real but you should really know on how to control up yourself towards the market.
