Fear is not Real.

[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.

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.

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.

~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.

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.
So many people believe that crypto is a quick money scheme forgetting that it takes patience to be successful in crypto.

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.

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......

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.

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.

[stepwilli]

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.

[nicolerichardson]

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.

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.

[Luzin]

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.
