I still believe I am on the right path

The level of knowledge is also important which will give value to how high the bitcoin should be traded. How much functionality and solutions bitcoin brings that you know about will affect your chances of passing it on to someone else even in the absence of FUD or volatility.

You are right. Knowledge has an important role, it will impact on own psychology or emotion. If someone has a lack of knowledge, he may give up soon because of the price volatility and FUDs. During this bearish season, we know that the price of Bitcoin can drop significantly and there is much bad news spreading. Someone who has no knowledge about crypto market and Bitcoin potential may sell their Bitcoin because of panic. That's why before investing in Bitcoin, make sure that having sufficient knowledge.

You sort of described what majority of newbies go through when they own their first bitcoins or sats. I had a strong resolve to hold my bitcoins from the start after exploring a little bit with altcoins and the market cycles I've gone through has only strengthened that.

Others might not have had smikar experiences and needed to anxiously hold through some up and downs in the market to not be affected much by price changes.

Newcomers are provided the incorrect tools for the market segment they are entering and are not told about it. Every day, decisions are made about which projects to invest in and which to hold for both the short-term and long-term. There is something we term beginner's luck in trading because experiences vary and not every newcomer goes through a difficult period at first. Our first priority in the market is Bitcoin, and seasonal volatility is strong right now. Being on the correct track is a safe method to make significant earnings without worrying about losses. Due to the nature of cryptocurrency, losses are unavoidable and affect all traders.

Building self-confidence was not easy mate. Doubts certainly come to our mind and sometimes, we got tricked by this negativity in our minds. It was really confusing when we are hard to know what is right and what is wrong, it was hard to make decisions in a state where we are also not sure of our doings.
But I see that you already control your emotions and you start to trust yourselves and make decisions based on what you think is right. In this situation, even if you will lose, you know that there is nothing to blame.

[Fatunad]

You are not too late, you just find the reason to keep supporting Bitcoin, to keep holding your Bitcoin bag. My confidence in Bitcoin is now 100%.

When you are just still a noob then these kind of actions were pretty common because we do still lack knowledge and awareness on how this market moves or behaves on which you would really be having that main first impression that our investment might go to zero but if you do tend to have some zoom out then you would realize that it cant really be just that possible because recovery would be always next in line.
This is why its really important that on the time that you do make out some crypto or Bitcoin investment then you should really make yourself get convinced for these possible crash or price movement
which you could eventually take it as an opportunity to buy cheap incase it do make out some decline and sell it on later when it do increase.

Even if I have bought some bitcoin a few days after the launch day, there is a 99% chances that I would have sold the Bitcoin, the enemies of holding Bitcoin for a newbie is

1. Market manipulators
2. My own psychology

...

It all affects our minds and decision-making. Why? With a lack of knowledge and market experience, it comes to the point that we are too reliant on these experts, social media influencers, and FUDs. We usually make decisions wrong because our emotions derive from what we heard around and on the internet. It is a mistake and we all commit mistakes but this is also a learning lesson that we get from that situation. We sometimes think that was the end of our crypto journey but the truth is that it was just the beginning. No Pain No Gain...

[Adbitco]

I think everyone did according to their level of experience and exposure towards bitcoin at then, those who kept lamenting of not holding till date would have still done same thing as well.
It is when they started knowing the usefulness of bitcoin they started correcting their errors by buying and holding back.

Even I myself was a victim of this, I couldn't withstand the pressure were everyone kept saying is over for bitcoin that year but today take a good look at bitcoin is waxing stronger and bigger in price.

To me whenever your mind is set to venture into bitcoin then follows your heart at then you can still buy and hold but what would only change is that the volume of your bitcoin might likely reduced but you still same price of bitcoin you wished to have invested before. So whatever thing you are set to do take a bold step and execute it without waiting for the public opinion.

[Rengga Jati]

Now I don't hear my demons trying to confuse me to sell, I was there once, I knew how it felt to believe in something you don't have trust in, today I've made up my mind, to always be with Bitcoin.

You are not too late, you just find the reason to keep supporting Bitcoin, to keep holding your Bitcoin bag. My confidence in Bitcoin is now 100%.

Indeed, oftentimes, various FUDs always crash into Bitcoin which makes Bitcoin look very bad, so Bitcoin price also often drops very significantly. Coupled with the role of the media with different points of view, namely badmouthing Bitcoin, this will always be a complicated and influential matter for the Bitcoin market. But on the other hand, we need to know how to overcome existing fears.
I salute those of you who continue to consistently believe in Bitcoin despite experiencing bad things. Because a lot of people, especially newbies, are prone to panic when there is FUD which causes the price of Bitcoin to drop drastically. This is actually a natural thing... especially if we believe in the value of Bitcoin, which of course will continue to rise from one bullish era to another. What we need to do is be more patient so that we can survive during this bearish period.

[Sarah Azhari]

Market manipulators must have made me want to wet my pants, in the past years there are many FUD about Bitcoin, calling it another bubble, this could have made me give up.

You know that, and you are good, so what's your worry?
you shouldn't worry about another thing which is none of your business. Newbie is an unknown person which I feel is still a little bit stand in the crypto world. as far as I know if someone has a bitcoin, he definitely knows the risks of trading. Because trading is not only bitcoin, but many are riskier, but i don't know why then blackmail in only bitcoin?.

[Vaculin]

After Satoshi, the real MVPs are those that bought it at early stage of its development and hodl to the time it was in the tens of thousands. Imagine having bitcoin at $12 in 2012 and watch it grow beyond hundred dollars to Thousands many of the current will have sold almost everything and left off.
There isn’t any late hours to bitcoin because just like in the past no one will is certain of the how far it will grow in price. Just buy during its deep and be patient to hodl for long.

And it could be that we will be the future MVPs if we will start trusting bitcoin now and control ourselves not to fall from FUDs or any factors that would convince us to sell. We just have to establish our faith and let bitcoin do the rest. True, there’s no late in bitcoin, but those who keep on missing the opportunities will probably regret in the future and just wish that they never doubted bitcoin in the first place.

[xSkylarx]

This is also what i am telling to my self that if i bought bitcoin even around 2013 i wont be able to todays price because of temptation of my self to sell it off and i am sure i do have sleepless nights thinking of this. It is really best to mould your emotions first before jumping to an investment because your emotions is your first enemy about your investment in panic selling or other things comes up on your mind

[Fundamentals Of]

Yes, that is very likely. That happened to many of those who came very early. Had I also known Bitcoin days after it was launched and acquired many, I could have also sold most if not all of it when its price rose from just cents to hundreds of dollars. Nobody would have imagined it. Many took the opportunity to make money.

Today, Bitcoin is appreciated a lot more. It has grown popular. And since Bitcoin has already a price history, newcomers know very well its potential. They know they cannot just take it for granted because of what happened in the past. Bitcoin shocked everybody.

[Gallar]

usually things like this happen to beginners who have just invested in bitcoin, lack of experience and lack of knowledge makes many doubts come to mind. I personally, during the early days of investing in bitcoin, my mind and heart were really tested very violently, especially when the market was declining. even though at that time I already knew that bitcoin would definitely go back up when it went down, but

2. My own psychology

psychology keeps bothering me, with the emergence of negative thoughts that make me panic, anxious and difficult to control myself.

besides knowledge about bitcoin and trading that must be deepened, for me thinking (psychology) is very important to be trained and honed so that it is strong and does not sway in any circumstances.

[DevilSlayer]

I really like what you said especially when it comes to psychology because only few people in this type of industry are taking notes regarding psychology because they thought that it is not much important when in reality, it is the most important factor of the success of the individual. If you understand yourself, which means that you know your attitudes, personalities, characteristics, strengths and weaknesses, edge, mental fortitude, confidence and discpline. Those types of person who are considering those what I mentioned, have the higher chance of becoming successful because they know what are they thinking and they are aware that someday they can make it.

I can say that you are in the right path but your plan is not yet that organize, I suggest that you have different kind of scenarios in your head regarding the possibility of the price of the bitcoin for you not be surprised and to act with confidence in any kind of scenarios. Your psychology is the key, if you train it then the possibility of making more money is not impossible all you need to do is trust your thinking and have confidence to execute your plans.

[reagansimms]

Great advice for newbie Investors who are just starting to invest in Bitcoin. Market manipulation and psychology are two inseparable parts, newbie investors tend to feel worried when market manipulation occurs, then their psychology starts to get disorderly due to always thinking about the value of their assets which continues to decline.
You need to form your own character to become an established investor, have a strong mentality and patience when market conditions are bad. The whisper of sell, sell and sell is just imagination driven by fear, calm in taking a stand can allow you to save asset value without having to accept the risk of loss.

[Cuenta Alternativa]

Bitcoin is like all good investments. The most profit is made without doing anything: you buy it and you don't touch it for many years. The problem is the psychology that is tempted to sell when the price rises a lot. If we think that the initial price of bitcoin was $0.000764/BTC we will see that the most profitable strategy in terms of returns would have been to never sell. But the person who bought at that price and sold when the price reached $1 made more than a x1,000 return. With just $1,000 of investment he made $1 million. And of course, cashing out is very tempting.

[lienfaye]

We all have our demons too, I could have listened to them, saying, sell, sell, sell, you dummy, this thing is going to die and you will lose all your capital.

It's understandable to have doubt at first as a newbie but if you already gain experience and already witness the different market cycle that's how you'll realize the best thing to do to deal with it. Temptations are always there to sell, many manipulators can convince you to give up but this depends on your gain knowledge to better understand the situation.

If you have goal and don't want to be influence by other people then be firm and keep holding. It is you who will decide to keep going or already quit. For investors who already long here, they know it's worth it because in time there's a positive result that is waiting.

[fauzan Ichsan]

market manipulation and psychology make us fall into misery if we can't react to it. the main thing that we have to control is our psychology, where from there we will have a mature personality to determine actions considering that in the market there will certainly be a lot of news that can shake our goals. even though manipulation occurs, if we can react to it then it will be a big advantage, unless we are greedy, it will actually harm ourselves

It is difficult to see such a big drop, especially for those who bought at a high price. I see that there are those who write that they want to take out a loan to buy bitcoin, or those who sold real estate for this, it is very difficult to withstand such a fall, there will definitely be those who will sell.

[Godday]

I am happy with your one hundred percent faith in BTC.  But I also tell you that you also need knowledge and you need to always learn about BTC.  You need to know how the market is doing, what's the latest on cryptocurrencies, and how people around the world view cryptocurrencies.  I believe in BTC and I also continue to learn how the trading market works.  So belief and knowledge must be balanced.  That is what I have thought.

You're right but not many will accept that to be. Whenever I read about people who rue their lack of awareness when Bitcoin debuted and how they would've bought thousands of it and hedl, I just pout my lips. Nothing would've changed because they too would've sold long time ago too.

Market manipulators must have made me want to wet my pants, in the past years there are many FUD about Bitcoin, calling it another bubble, this could have made me give up.

The "bubble" FUD was a thing in pre-2018 and it did actually scare the shit out of me as a noob in 2017. I wonder how that format of FUD died off. Nobody fuds with that anymore. This is because the globe is more enlightened about Bitcoin now than it was a few years ago.

My confidence in Bitcoin is now 100%.

Absolutely yes! It should be
