Let fear to lose be motivation to learn

[michellee]

Having fear is a natural thing for people who invest in crypto or trade crypto. But don't let that fear be with you because by learning more about investing and trading, you can overcome that fear. You will know how to overcome the risks so they don't become big.

You will also learn how to overcome previous losses and find ways to profit from crypto. As you learn more about crypto, you can overcome your fears and won't be afraid anymore because you already know how to overcome them.

Turn your fear into a strength to want to learn more about investing and trading. So that you can develop further in these two things and make a profit.

My fear have been a motivation to learn,  even If I start trading I may lose but not to lose everything because of the understanding I have. My fear to lose have always made me to take the right decisions and not to make money money my first ultimate in trading and investment but understanding as my first priority.

If you can not face your fears, it will stop you from achieving your goals. It's normal and part of human nature but when you allow it to consume and control you, it becomes abnormal. There's a saying that the fear of failure is the beginning of failure. When you are afraid of failure and you remain reluctant to learning, your chance of success will be limited. You have taken a bold step to motivate yourself to learn due to your fears. As you know, learning has no end and as you keep on learning, you discover new ideas on timely basis.

But I am also not impressed in your testimony because you are not supposed to be fearful of losing. If  you are very scared of losing your money, that means you may never make more money. What you need to do is simply to take your time and advance your skills in bitcoin trading and investment. When you have learnt alot, you will be confident and no longer afraid of losing.

It's not bad to be scared of losing money as it's also part of the game. If losing money is not part of the game, no one will be worrying about risk management. The truth is that you can not do away with that fear but the important thing is not to allow it to stop you from taking the step.

Everything in the world has its advantages and disadvantages, FEAR is the topic today and I am happy to share my opinion for others to read.

FEAR is good and it's also bad, there are situations where FEAR is what will keep you alive, I don't have to go into more details on this one, and there are also situations that the FEAR in you is what will kill you.

The thing is know when and how to react, be the pilot of your body and self, it's good to have fear because we are humans, and the truth is everyone has fear in them, but this can also push you to make the wrong or the right choices too.
Now when it comes to crypto, it's somehow different, if you have fear in you as a crypto investor, it's either because you are still a beginner who isn't sure about what he is going for, or you are someone who makes decisions about crypto from the mind ( gambling ), you are either to lazy to do some research on your own or you aren't just manny enough.

Lack of research brings fear in you automatically because you will feel lost, fear of losing means you are doing something wrong, let's not forget the rules of crypto investment, which says invest only what you can afford to lose, doing this automatically erase any fear in you, if you still have fear then you have invested money you are not willing to lose.

Fear isn't the reason why I learn about crypto, I am inspired to be in the crypto space and learn everything about it, to me it's adventurous and I've made mistakes along the way, I learn from the mistakes because I accept my fault, no everyone can do this.

Not only talking about crypto here, but about many situations in life where you can feel fear: knowledge is power, and generally speaking power can make an individual overcome insecurities (and in some cases even feel invincible, so watch out). If in the case of the OP, fear is the motivation that forced him to learn, it may not be the best trigger to do it, but it can be a good way to channel these sensations, so he shouldn't be blamed for it, quite the opposite.

In many cases, we have heard about grown-up men and women who tell the younger ones: I was like you, but experience/knowledge made me lose fear.

So, to me, the OP is not only right, but also brave to admit his fears.

[Japinat]

Fear is normal especially if you are not really sure what you are doing and most of all, if you have thought negatively already.
If can change our mindset to positive, we no longer have such FEAR in mind but courage and motivation. In order to gain motivation and courage, we must beat our negative thinking and stop being affected by the FUDs. We can't move forward and achieve our goal if fear remains on us because this will influence our decisions.

"... Why being scared mate? There's nothing to fear when you have good knowledge and understanding of how Bitcoin works. You just have to be smart and carful type, not the fearful one. Your fear exposes you to more risk and I don't see how fear can motivate someone..."

This one is right. In crypto trading, you should fear NOTHING as long as you are equipped with proper knowledge on how the trading works. Once you enter this business, you should be ready to lose everything, but at the same gain what you prepared to lose. Who knows what tomorrow brings, right? Your curiosity, eagerness, and risks taken for this field is already an investment aside from your time and money.

Overall, your efforts would not be in vain if you know how to wait and learn how this field works. Do not make every failure a hindrance not to try again.

The fear that you will run at loss in a business is what will make you very careful in whatever decisions that you are making. In crypto trading it is even more worst because of the volatile nature of bitcoin. If you say that you being scared helps you to make the right decisions and steps, that good as long as it works for you.

It is better that when your mind is not at rest with trading, you need not to think of it, because trading is risky and you might end up running at great loss, especially as a newbie. I wouldn't dare think of trading because am cool with investing, as this gives me rest of mind since am investing in a long period of time.

Thats actually true especially when it's comes to trading well I can't say the same for other aspect of life though but when it comes to trading the risk is just too much. I myself have tried it out but that was due to the notion of no risk no gain and believe me sometimes it better off you stay with something you are actually not skeptical about to avoid any case of latter regret.

I know some of my mates who are into  cryptocurrency that phobia to lose but even with the fear to lose they still go ahead to trade. If beginners allows their fear to motivate them to learn first their won't be drastic lose in trading.

If you are in cryptocurrency and you are scared to lose, then I think cryptocurrency is not for you. As a trader, you are going to lose money when trading, even if you are a professional. Losses might still come sometimes, so I can say trading is all about profit and loss, but as a trader, try and work out a strategy that is going to give you more profit. Losses shouldn’t be something that comes in often. But if you are a trader and you think you won’t lose money at all, then you are just deceiving yourself, you will lose, and as a newbie, you should be expecting more losses, you will lose more money in the process of learning.

[Winterfrost]

As long as you continue to fear in losing then you will continue to lose. If you want to win in trading then you should trade like a winner not as a loser. You said ever since you learnt about cryptocurrency investing and trading . But you dont seem to be like one who learnt well perhaps you skipped some important part of the courses or video tutorials if not you wont be taking about fear being a motivation.

As long as the purpose of this forum is to learn what we dont know and share what we know, I recommend a book that can help you get rid of  fear in cryptocurrency trading. Read "The Mental Game of Trading" by Jared Tendler. You can try downloading the PDF file; I dont have it at the moment as its been a while, and I've lost the file, but I hope you can find it.

Always feared = missed opportunities.

Trust me, I've experienced that as well. I've missed many opportunities in the past and even until now because I didn't want to risk too much money investing into a project that I know is very risky. My fear of losing money always gets me, but the good thing is that, I always have a plan B, and what I'm doing is I'd rather invest it into some established projects out there, or even into Bitcoin instead of a project that I know is very risky.

I've also missed airdrops that came out to be a successful project months after giving out their tokens. Airdrops such as the Uniswap, and Arbitrum are the ones that I missed unfortunately. My fear of me getting hacked or whatever it is, is always getting me. Just imagine how much money I've lost in just 2 airdrops because of fear.

I'm not saying that don't get feared because sometimes, letting your fear get you has some advantages as well. You said that your friends are still trading despite them having the feeling of losing? I think it's because they believe that there will be a time that they will earn from it. What they just need is to learn more. As for you, use your fear as a tool for you to get motivated in whatever you wanted to learn.

Behind the profits that can be obtained from investing in Cryptocurrency, there is a risk of loss that can occur at any time which can drain some or all of the value of the money you have. Cryptocurrency is a type of investment that has high risk and high return opportunities. It is very natural that beginners are always afraid of losing because the comparison scale of risk of loss and profit is not much different. For those who want to or are just starting to invest in Cryptocurrency, you must learn from the mistakes of previous investors, always control yourself against the temptation of the lure of profits that can be obtained from Crypto investment.

Fear will shape your character to be more patient in carrying out the process, you will be more careful in investing to prevent the risks you fear from occurring. When you start to dare to invest in Cryptocurrency, of course you have done research on the coins you want to buy, coin fundamentals become the basic analysis in making the decision to buy coins for investment.

Having a crypto asset portfolio means that you own a percentage of a business because investing in Cryptocurrency can also be analogous to doing business. When deciding to get some coins to use as a long-term or short-term investment, you must be prepared not only to make a profit, but also to be prepared for the risk of loss because there is "uncertainty" in it.

fear? The biggest issue facing people today is that. fear of losing because if we don't lose, we run the chance of losing more. You must keep in mind when investing in cryptocurrencies that you will undoubtedly lose money and that you can also occasionally make large gains. If you don't lose, you lose more money, but as soon as you lose money, you may make corrections, which reduces the likelihood that you will lose again because you have learned.

Since I know cryptocurrency my biggest fear is to lost all my capital or large amounts in trading or investment, because of the fear in me I don't do things that I'm not sure of or things I don't know. My fear to lose have always been a motivation or a reason for me to know things concerning cryptocurrency,  I fear to start trading when I'm of myself that I know nothing to trade , fear to start investment when I know that I don't have a source of income.

We're scared when money's tight. Life isn't easy we're living in difficult periods in inequality. If you don't have a job you should consider your source of income's your sig campaign. You're grateful you've got it every week.

My fear have been a motivation to learn,  even If I start trading I may lose but not to lose everything because of the understanding I have. My fear to lose have always made me to take the right decisions and not to make money money my first ultimate in trading and investment but understanding as my first priority.

You're in the forum it's the best education campus better than online courses. If it doesn't help you make up your direction you shouldn't invest in cryptocurrencies. Keep taking your sig campaign to stack until you're ready to invest.

[Out of mind]

When you first start trading in cryptocurrencies, you must have a fear of losing money, that everyone does in the beginning.  When I first started trading, my fear of losing money was huge, and I lost my money a few times. Before embarking on crypto journey, if you don't know about trading and market, you can never profit, that's why if you know everything, then fear will not work in trading, but it will be a courage. It is true that everyone is afraid of losing money when it comes to trading, but when it comes to investing that fear does not work because investing never loses money. Moreover, when you feel the urge to lose, you must refrain from trading because when a person loses courage while trading, he can lose if he trades there. Of course, it is most important for people who are new to know various things before they start, but trading can be profitable and there will be no fear in the future. If you can overcome your motivation and fear, you will be able to move forward with cryptocurrency trading in the future.

I'm not sure whether fear in trading is a good thing, because you won't accomplish anything in trading even when you feel technically proficient and so on if your fear is greater than your courage to make a move. Learning is indeed important, but studying too often will not make you immediately make a profit in trading, you have to trade directly while you continue to learn and evaluate your trading history in the past so that in the future you will use a better strategy.

In fact - investing in bitcoin will not make the value of your investment go to 0. You just need to avoid day trading and continue to be a long-term holder - it should not make you afraid of losing. You only need to worry if all your investment assets are still on a centralized platform - but you will be safe if all your investment assets are in a wallet that gives you full custody.

Bitcoin price volatility just makes the value of your investment fluctuate - but I'm sure it won't go to 0 for obvious reasons, unless the crypto industry is truly doomed. As long as the bitcoin is still safe in your wallet - then you will not lose the bitcoin even if its value fluctuates.

Afaik Fear of the unknown is a very normal thing for any human being, so worry not buddy ...

But when you refer to losing all capital because of trading, then you are probably pro trading with leverage which isn't advisable if one hasn't shapened their strategy to be on the profitable side of this journey... so to minimise such risk best to buy and hodl and forget about losing your capital to small price dips.

If beginners allows their fear to motivate them to learn first their won't be drastic lose in trading.

Tbh, the best way to find motivation is to find a working strategy that you have tried and tested and are happy with the results, otherwise going in blindly is guaranteeing oneself of failure....good thing fear pushes many of us to do the uncomfortable stuff and this includes learning new skills

[arabspaceship123]

It's sensible advice because buying to trade's different from hodl. If we're doing things with high stakes for first time it's normal to worry. We're scared of losing every thing after investing capital so large trades isn't advisable. Using sig campaign bitcoins to trade's a better strategy to using his wages.

Fear of investing makes us careful about our actions. However it motivates us to increase our knowledge about our investment. Also It can be positive thing if you can amplify your fear to motivate yourself to increase your knowledge.

If beginners allows their fear to motivate them to learn first their won't be drastic lose in trading.

Having a plan gives investor confident about his action. So working out for a strategy along the way of our investment journey can polish a unique stratgey that can make us a successful investor.

I mean for sure not all the time we are making the right decision here somethings we might just get lucky and sometimes we might just be unlucky about it, its just normal to be fear if you dont know what your doing at first if your going to think about it like driving a car, if your just a newbie and you dont know how your going to drive a car for sure at first you are afraid to hit the accelerator and most of the time you just slam the brake because you are afraid but as soon as you progress and learn how to drive that fear disappear because you know how to do it completely.

Its a good thing I guess since we are here in the forum meaning as soon as we just continue our journey here in the forum we are still learning a lot here, there are a lot of things that we need to learn as well as how we are going to protect ourselves against scams and hack since they are developing a lot of new ways, and probably we want to learn new strategy that we like on investing, for sure its going to be easy as soon as we are active here in the forum.
