Why everybody is panicking ? Its a game of greed and fear !

[MainIbem]

This is all dependent of the category of investment they are because those who goes for short terms sell immediately whenever they seems to see little changes in the market and after market bounces back more better then they will keep complaining of the market which i may likely call it to be panic to sell / leave to regret. this types of people always complain whenever there is little change or even when the market shows little dip, they sells immediately.
Fear makes you to be unorganized which as an investors you need to deal away all this to be able to succeed or successful with career.

The bottom line is that most often this is what has the best result. It seems to me that very often it is the risk that has a very good payback.

The fact is that there are different risks. If a person takes a risk using emotion, it will not do any good. But if a person takes a risk after researching and weighing the pros and cons and deciding to take the risk without being too emotional, then yes, it can bring results.

We can still lessen that risk if we have knowledge. As most other people said before they invest, they will first conduct research on what the risks are and if this would work. This is still the same with trading; you lessen the risk when you research, learn how to trade, and listen to experienced traders. Though emotion is really a part of it, you can manage it later on once you've already started trading, since the experience can mold your emotions and they won't affect you later on.

We can’t really avoid from getting panicked anytime without warning. It really depends on each other’s financial situation, and timers and experts aren’t exempted from that.

Most of us especially the newbies and beginners are prone to having panics while the market goes down and/or getting scammed or hacked. It’s all about understanding how the market works and accept the fact that there are no promises or astronomical guaranteed returns by just treating what we spent as “dead money”.

We always put our own emotions in everything we do especially if it’s about money matters. So panicking is a natural thing for us and we sometimes become out of control and start to do things that we are not supposed to do. Especially in the process of losing our money, of course it’s expected to feel panic and become uncomfortable. But if we only invest on the amount we can afford to lose, even if the market seems drowning, that won’t greatly affect since we are open to losses, if winning is not possible.

[Cling18]

The market has been through this kind of situation so I wonder why there are still people who can't deal with it. They still fear it instead of celebrating because they could purchase potential coins at a lower price which is a good preparation so when the market recovers, they will gain huge profits. It's the perfect application of buy low and selling high.

When money is involved then it cant really be avoided not for you to be that impulsive or reactive which is really that a very common thing for a trader/investor specially on times where prices are declining.
Specially on the time that you do see your portfolio is really that going low or in deep negatives. You could really feel up the panic, the stress and the anxiety of entire space or into your investment
which i could say that it is really very normal.Therefore, the thing which makes you comfortable or able to deal with is with your experience which is something
that you could really be able to gain when you do continue to engage with this market.

I think there's a bunch users already create similar topic about "DCA, only invest that you can afford to lose and Bitcoin history"

It seems there's no new discussion and everyone keep repeating the same discussion, almost everyone already know that and it's nothing need to remind everyone. If they're panic, then it's good since we can buy their coins, if they're not panic, we can't buy the dip lol. So I'd thanks for those newbie who panic and then sold their coins for cheap price.

When everyone resorts into panicking, the big whales will eventually buy for it and take advantage of our coins once we decide to sell them at cheaper prices. So as much as possible, we should rather stay calm and relax than to panic and create wrong decisions. But the problem is, are there really people who never experienced panicking? I guess all have been into that shoes, panicking when everything in the market is dumping, but the only difference is that some manage to control their selves and prevent losing, while some end up being carried away and lose in the end.

Guys , do not panic , its a cycle , everytime btc loses 60 to 70 % , it will recover with HUGE profit , check : graphics 10 years . always the same .

This is what commonly old people in crypto will think about, based on their experience.
but, beginners or someone new in the crypto industry, will panic so easily every time the FUD comes. Selling off their assets at lower prices to avoid losing more, is what they are thinking. They may not think about the future investment, because they are too panicky. Moreover, if they are investing in shitcoins. That's enough.

Unfortunately, even though this has been repeated no matter how many times, there are still many people who don't learn about it. there are still many people who even know about this, but they still panic and fear. Moreover, they are also easily influenced by various FUDs. Plus, they are easily tricked into investing beyond their control and ability.

When coins are sold in a bear market, it does not always signal panic. After all, there is such a category of investors who do not want to simply sit out a drawdown for several years until the market becomes bullish again. Because the only correct solution in a bear market is fiat money, which will allow you to increase your position in the crypt.

Agree, some people sold their coins during the bearish market because of some possible reasons:
1. They want to prepare fresh money to buy at a lower price, so they can have a bigger number of that coins.
2. They want to switch a coin to another coin because they think another coin has a more potential future.
3. They are in an urgent situation for fiats, so they immediately sold the coins whatever the price is.

I think these are some reasons why people sold their coins although it is in bearish market. There is nothing wrong with this, it is acceptable reason.

Who do you think is do panic selling? I think its normal to see the price of Bitcoin drop. Look Bitcoin history have a cycle if you are here for very long time or if you know the history of Bitcoin then you shouldn't be panic.

However, since there are some potential to make profit selling it is the best choice and buy later for cheaper price. That's a normal cycle of trading.

I would not say that only those newbies are panicking right now because even myself, I’m also starting to panic thinking that bitcoin price will eventually keep dropping. But I am also aware that this is a good chance to accumulate more bitcoin, one thing that most newbies never think of it. Although I must say that as long as we have emotions involved, panicking is natural, but in crypto one who panics gets lose in the end and one who stays calm and relax usually wins in the end.

Even you are veteran or professional then fear and getting stressed doesnt skip out anyone which you could really feel it out specially when you do have investments where on deep reds.
Even myself do really boggle up my mind on when this bear market would be over which as a human being where it is really something that part of being that emotional.
When you had entered on much higher price then it cant really be avoided for you to react out when you do see the price is plummeting.
There's no exemption into this where everyone could be affected, it is really just that people differs on how they do handle out such situation.

[kzkazu]

Market panic is inevitable, and many people will panic because the price will drop and lose money.
When the crypto market is well understood and has more comprehensive knowledge and experience, the fear can be better controlled. An experienced investor or trader who believes that the cryptocurrency will continue to rise one day and be able to make huge profits.

[Bitstar_coin]

1 ) - stop listening to twitter/shit medias ,  bitcoin " advisors or consultants" usually they are paid advertisements from btc whales to buy lower or to get more profits in their shorts : panic panic panic : china china china , russia russia russia , SEC SEC SEC inflation inflation inflation . ....... all bullshit

Lol, you are so right about this, people panic anytime this type of news comes up all for no reason. The only ones benefiting from such news are the whales who are ready to buy your coins at a cheaper rate. Except you are a smart investor, you know when to sell and buy back when the price goes lower, there is no need to panic over every negative news from twitter or other news source.
Better days are ahead of us if we are patient enough.

If they can stay calm when the market is down, they won't rush to sell their coins and can even buy more coins for a larger amount. We have to realize this as well as possible because, with a declining market position, we are still allowed to get more coins. A wise investor or trader can control their emotions when the market is undergoing a correction and will not panic because it is useless to them. We also have to avoid panic because otherwise, we will miss a good opportunity to increase the number of coins.

Panic will cause us to lose focus on everything because what we think about is the amount of loss that will be received. That is why panic is a big enemy for an investor or trader. If you can't control it, then be prepared to do something you really don't want to do, and you will wake up after doing it.

Even so, we cannot blame people who have a high level of panic, because we know what their psychological state is like when they see market conditions that are experiencing very deep corrections.

Don't forget some bought when Bitcoin hit its ATHs. I believe those panicking about Bitcoin price are those who bought when prices were high. Many still held some sold at a loss. Those who are holding till now are in almost 60% loss. It is both a time to celebrate as well as a time to panic. Celebrate in the sense that prices are down, panic in the sense that no one knows when the price will recover to make profit from old investments.

[Wapfika]

Newcomers in the blockchain are most likely the people who do panic selling or panicking in this kind of situation of the market. It is either they bought at $20,000 and the price dumps even more, so they are thinking silly possibilities like it would not go up again and their money would be gone to waste in the long run, something like that or even more worst scenario. Once they get used to bearish market, they will completely act different and will not panic again in the next bearish market.

Fair point. I’m doing this method too when there’s a clear sign of bearish market on a longer time frame. I don’t want to sit my money on crypto since I know that the price will just dump later while I can use the converted fiat to purchase later once the price finally plummet.

But the majority of tokens that being sold on bear market are from panic sellers. You can pin point them when the coin is being dump near the price support because panic seller doesn’t care much about supports during bearish market. The clear sign of this event is the long price wick on the chart. The price dump in fast rate then recover quickly too.

Such wicks are usually formed after the support fails and the stop loss is triggered alternately, which were set below the support level. Accordingly, at such a time, panic sales occur in the market among those who considered this level of support to be the last stronghold.

OP, your words are apt. You captured the scenario very well but you should also expect that what's happening is a true reflection of the diversity of man's thoughts. We all can't reason the same way on the same issues. If everyone knows and does the same thing it should be boring. Homogeneity kills interest. Those who panic once price begins to dip are meant to be there so that those who have diamond hands can pick the panic sales up. Anyone who has experienced a Bitcoin cycle should know that whatever that's happening now in the market is the normal phase. Nothing to worry about. It should be the accumulation phase. Buy cheap now and hodl. Next halving is going to be a blast.

A reminder of the true nature of the markets is always welcome as we have newbies which have recently joined the market which may not be aware of their cyclical nature and they may need some encouragement to keep holding their coins.

But I agree with you, weak hands are inevitable in all markets, as there will always be people which invested too much money, which need to sell due to some emergency or simply they are afraid the price could crash even further, and in that case the ones that will benefit from this are the ones which buy the dip and get those cheap coins.
