Risk management is very essential during this post-halving season

[Marvelockg]

We know that Bitcoin halving has just happened and that after the halving there is always high volatility and uncertainty which can affect an investor's strategy and risk exposure due to loads of information from the media and the fact that you have a series of speculation based on an event that played out in the previous halving and how it might repeat itself this time around making some investors make a high-risk investment in similar projects that had possibly 100x in the previous halving and some might have thought to diversify all there investing into a different coin just so they don't miss out on what's been speculated by the supposed media experts and in the process exposing themselves to significant losses if not adequately managed.

For the sake of simplicity and clarity, the post-Bitcoin halving can give those who have a good investment plan great profit and there will still be thousands of people who will lose a ton of money this same period just by trying to play smart with the season. Preparation for the post-halving bull isn't something that happens overnight but requires regular buying and stacking of Bitcoin in the past that must have built up your portfolio into a strong one such that when the bull finally happens you can find yourself in a good profit region.

Proper risk management is very essential as it will help you;
1. Invest in an investible asset and not one that's just dependent on social media hype.
2. Continue with your investment plan and don't allow the hype from the media to push you to invest above your set amount.
3. Ensure you're emotionally strong enough to stick to your long-term plan
4. Ensure if you're investing in another asset outside of Bitcoin, you don't become too greedy in search of too much gain, learn when best to take your profit and this will mean you're not risking it too much.
5. For those that are new to Bitcoin investments and have probably not stayed up to a single circle and are still at their accumulation stage, it's best not to even take out your profit even during this bull except You've been able to meet your accumulation goal within such space of time.

In conclusion, the post-halving period comes with a lot of news, hopes, speculations, and expectations, and if you aren't careful, you might end up risking too much and put yourself in a position of huge loss and so we must react to these speculations in a matured way that doesn't put us in too much risk.

This is not first Bitcoin halving to happen. You guys should take a chill pill and relax with this bitcoin halving topics. Bitcoin discussion board is full of them already and in the last 24hours I have already seen two topics relating to the halving in Beginners & Help. It suggests that many were expecting a immediate hike in Bitcoin price after the halving took place and are disappointed because the market is not responding quickly as anticipated.

Don't be confused, bitcoin halving doesn't translate into bitcoin All time high
Bitcoin halving security tips for first timers.
Back to the topic, I don’t think you need have to change your investment strategy because of the halving. Continue DCAing and accumulate as much bitcoins as you can. And if you decide to invest in altcoins, well I have no advice for you.

[tranthidung]

You must have plans for your investment, start with what is your capital source for investment. Next, risk management such as where to store your bitcoins and what will you do with your bitcoin: holding, trading and if trading, will it be Spot, Margin or Futures.

The market is always here, pre- or post-halving, it is here and there are times it is more volatile than usual. If a person use leverages, when market is more volatile than usual, leveraged positions will be liquidated.

Advice, in general, not only post-halving:

• Store your bitcoins in non custodial (should be open source) wallets
• Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts
• Don't use leverages. DCA, holding and do your investment for long term, is better.

Check these ones

• DCA vs Smart DCA, what do you choose?
• Are you ready for the Bitcoin bull market? What's your plan? Some ideas for you

We should learn to take risk on ourself, but before that, we should never be left alone vulnerable to the dangers involved in bitcoin investment, though this season will be followed by high volatility, we have to be careful on what we do, how we invest and when we invest on bitcoin, this will also determine the way we are going to be profitable about the investment made, we should buy the dip, hold and sell high.

[Alpha Marine]

If anybody must deal in altcoins, why do it long term? I don't think there's any altcoins that is worth holding for long term. I see altcoins are cons that yo take your profit after a short period of time, mostly within a few months.
I am no expert in altcoins and I know that some people may argue that there are alt coins that does well in the long run but sticking with bitcoin is the best decision as far as long term investment is involved.

If you're invested simply because of fear of missing out then you're doing it wrong. Invest in a project because you're convinced after doing your research that that project would come out good after a certain period of time. Most of the popular coins on social media still remain shit after years of launch and they remain that way forever. So make your decisions based or thorough research and not popular opinions.

Risk taking in any genuine investment,  there is a good reward at the end, if you can do some things to verify the investment before putting your money because there are some investments that use to take a long year before you will begin to earn profits from it, and there are some investments you will invest and you will begin to earn little profits from it.

If you have the opportunity to buy your BTC in the bear season, it will be difficult for you to experience danger when you hodl it till the bull run come before you can take a step to market the BTC to make profits from the market.

Never you take the risk to invest in BTC when the price is high in the market because it will make you not comfortable with your hodling, and it will cause you fear whenever the price is dumping in the market.

[CAAS]

Risk management is really simple for some people, and it depends on your age, income, bankroll and situation. For example, if you have at least some regular income paid in crypto, then your trading requires less cash set aside since you will always have new funds coming soon.

You're right, i used to advise for this, that if you're interested in making profits, then you must also be willing to take risk, we only have to ensure that the things we are taking risk on are what truly worth it, there is risk in cryptocurrency, but many of us took the passion for making profits and go for them, even though we are very mindful of the kind of crypto coins or projects we make our investment on.

[Bushdark]

There is one crucial words I so much admire about this post which is for one to look well and not end up buying token that depends on social media hype before they move. I think this is one of the characteristics of tokens we are seeing in the market always.
Many of the meme projects we see in the market are most dependent on hype before they could move bullishly.
One has to be wise and do things in a way that would help in the future not ending up buying tokens that can not move very well in the market.

[hatshepsut93]

One of the almost never talked parts of risk management is taking profits. Every bull market sooner or later comes to an end and plunges into bear market. It means that the longer you are holding, the more unrealized gain you accumulate, but also the higher the risk of losing those unrealized gains. Depending on your entry price, the bear market can even push you into a loss. This means that somewhere there's an optimal sell price, below which it's safe to hold, and above which it's too risky to hold.

Most of all these so-called crypto experts that are in social media are not well informed about the sector. I am not disputing the fact that some of them could give sound information that could assist investors in making decisions but there is a need to tread with caution because some of them have other agenda. Some of them will be introducing their followers to worthless altcoins or scam projects to make a profit from them. Personal research is cardinal in investing because there is so much misinformation out there.

I might not advise newbies to consider putting money in altcoins without verifying the project. The profitability of altcoins might be greater but most of them end up becoming failed projects and newbies should have the requisite knowledge to decipher such projects. Bitcoin is the best investment for newbies because it has stood the test of time and also has less risk. I will also advise newbies not to wait till the halving season before they start investing since the price of cryptos is already high. It will be better to start investing during the bear season when the price is cheaper.

[serjent05]

Risk management is not only essential during the post-halving.  A Smart investor always prioritizes calculating risk before they jump into an investment.  So whether it is a pre-halving or a post-halving event, a bear market or a bull run,  a person should always minimize the risk involved in his investment ventures.

I think they are informed but due to personal interest, they tend to leave some information hidden from their viewers.  Like influencers presenting certain projects, since they are paid to promote such projects, they tend to ignore red flags that is packaged with that project especially when the project is empowered by a referral system.

And if ever newbies still insist on investing in altcoins, just make sure to invest only what you can afford to lose. I second your advice to invest during the bear market since during this period, there is more supply than demand making the price way cheaper.

There is no problem if you're risking too much as long as you're aware of that and you can afford to risk that money of yours. There's so much to think of during this season when the halving's done already.

People tend to think of the market quickly if it's going to rise as soon as the halving has commenced. It's not how it goes and always take risk that you can afford.

Because if you're taking risk and you're not able to control yourself with it and it's not Bitcoin that you're focusing with since it's the center of the event and altcoins might just go next, you might miss the opportunity for being to worried with everything.

[AVE5]

Yes bitcoin halving usually insights some emotional panics with different strategies such as to make huge profits and also expanding to explore on their Crypto investments.
This serves some problematic insightments by which lot of greedy and inexperienced Investors fails victim to the lost of their funds just as the Op has said that lot of investors would tend to diversify their crypto investments so that they can as much take part at most opened opportunities with the potentials of making profits in the crypto markets.

While a lot are successful with their strategies, a lot losses their funds on theirs.
So basically let's assume that risk to financial management is responsible to whether you'd have your funds implemented on the basses where secured or you Will ignore the risk and focuses more on chasing profits.

The halving is not the final bustop for us to make money. Just like we know that everything I'm the crypto market is over hyped we can always take the opportunity to invest wisely so that we don't end up losing big in the market because we thought that the halving is going to be beneficial for us to make.quixk money from the market. It is good we take risks but also we need to be wise and make sure we don't take excessive risks that would lead to huge loss.

[doomloop]

The halving event is considered to be a good thing because the market generally goes up after it, but no one should expect that to happen all of a sudden or very quickly, it takes its time and we will see the effect over time. So, I don't see any reason for anyone to be that much worried about their investments and their strategies as long as they know they have invested in the right cryptocurrencies because having your money invested in the right places gives you peace of mind.

Only those who have made investments in meme coins and other extremely risky an volatile assets need to be worried and keep an eye on the market all the time because such coins and tokens are already very volatile, so if there is a sudden entry or exit from a whale, they can dump very quickly.

We know that Bitcoin halving has just happened and that after the halving there is always high volatility and uncertainty which can affect an investor's strategy..

The cryptocurrency market is inherently highly volatile, regardless of the halving date. You must be prepared for any developments in the market. You should always follow the Risk management strategy, and this should be the most important rule for you.

There are too many what if in crypto market.

And that's why you need to invest money that you won't need on Bitcoin and other coins, even if you are using DCA strategy to gather your satoshis you need to make sure that you won't be needing the money sooner, no one can tell how long it will take for Bitcoin to make a new ATH again.

Get a source of income, pay your bills and make friends, spend time with your families, live a normal life and when you have extra money left you must invest, this could safe you a lot in the future.
My own risk manage is if I can afford to live my life after investing thousand of dollars into Bitcoin, it is not by force though but I can see many people putting themselves in a bad position just so that they can DCA in bitcoin.

Earn money, put some percentage in investments and continue to live, it gets no easier than this.

Exactly, one should trade cautiously because this halving season no one knows how things are going to be. But if you take good care of how you trade in crypto, even if everything didn't go as expected, you have nothing to regret at the end. No matter what coins you buy or invest in, just be careful. relieve yourself of anxiety and frustration. So you don't end up developing hypertension for yourself. Although it's a good and welcome season because after it, there is hope that things will still be fine. Infact, there used to be boom market. Even though there is no guarantee. Due to this lack of accurate time for the market to recover after the halving season, then, I think one should be cautious.

Risk taking is good but take it wisely. Make sure you are not investing all your money in it. live your life. make sure you have the necessary things that you are going to be using on the ground. consult experts or those that have the knowledge of it. examine the signals. Be carefully. stop trusting everybody. don't rush in to investing in crypto. After the necessary arrangements, don't be too greedy.

In all things that are risky, of course we have to be smart in managing risk management. In trading, technical analysis skills alone are not enough, discipline and emotional maturity are also important for success. The adage “timing the market vs timing the market” is a good mindset to have during market fluctuations.

There are a lot of people who are fomo but have minimal literacy, thinking that after being halved the price will immediately go up. finally bought it at a price of 68k-70k, now bitcoin is priced at 58k-61k which automatically means their portfolio is in minus and they immediately claim that it's a bitcoin scam. they even experience panic when prices fall, even though it is natural for a decline like this to surge towards higher levels, so it is important for us to know our investments for the long term.
