Does the volatility really be the reason why people had lose? Well, I don't think so. People had lost their investments because of being too emotional, having no trust in their investments, and most of all, their negative mindset.
There is no other way to deal with the volatility but to embrace this. In fact, we don't need to be afraid of the unpredictable trend but rather make use of this to earn more. Because the more we understand the importance of volatility, the more we like it.
Cryptocurrency wouldn't be profitable if it isn't volatile. Losing could happen if we don't know how to take advantage of every market situation. The right time to buy and sell will be the best way to make a profit. Volatility is the unique characteristic of cryptocurrency that is an open opportunity for everyone to make money. Losing is normal but losing repeatedly simply means that we don't have enough knowledge about how the market works yet.
I'd never thought about the right time when to buy or sell but at least we take the best price possible.
It was indeed grateful to have this nature of the market for it was the reason why we earn but too unfortunate that some people are complaining which in fact, they are also benefiting from the chance. If we are only just too patient and take the best option, I don't think we lose. Just like I said, no way to lose if we can manage to handle our emotions and follow the role: buy low and sell high.
