How to avoid stress in a market crash

[Muba20]

If you have bought Bitcoin and are able to hold it for a long time, then I think the things you mentioned will definitely help you reduce the pressure during the bearish season. There are some who do not invest in Bitcoin but in altcoins, and some whose investments are at such a low level that there is no possibility of getting a return on their investment from the coins. If you choose a good coin at the beginning of the investment and hold it for the long term, and if you can hold that coin until it reaches the desired level without paying attention to any rumors in the market, then you will be profitable. Even if there is no other strategy to reduce the pressure, if you can make investments that you can lose, then I think the pressure will not be too much.

Experience is the key and this is something that really make things that making you even that better as an investor/trader on which it once you would really be to have that experience then you will be able to handle yourself well. Market crash is inevitable because this is really that something that will be happening considering this market will really be only having that ups and downs when it comes to movement. People are really just that too optimistic that they can easily make money with this market on which once they have step their foot into this then it will really be that creating that realization that it was never been that too easy to handle up market volatility. On the time or moment that you do be able to know on how market works then this is where you would be making yourself way more better on which not only just on knowledge aspect but also about emotion handling on which this is the main issue for most investors who doesnt know on how volatile this market would be. Investments shouldnt be that stressful but since losing money is a stressful stuff then emotion control will be necessary.

Control of stress does not begin after the market has crashed, on the contrary diligent traders who have been doing it for years have cushioning systems to prevent panic and stress.

1. Do not quit your job to get into trading - having the stable income means you have a source to look forward to, makes it easier to get through.
2. Have traditional assets involvement too - bitcoin is a higher risk asset, having some low risk assets helps dilute the risk.
3. Proper mindset - knowing when to buy and when to sell, seeing the crash as an opportunity are the method of thinking for coping with a crash. It can be practiced but not everyone learns.

I don't think I need to do any of this in order to restrict myself from selling, as I have already developed my self-control to the extent that no matter how fast the market is trying to dip, it will be very hard for me to sell off my holding below the purchasing price, as it's when ever I sell out that I can officially record losses if not I hold until the market comes back to normal and even does better.
 
Watching the price most times might affect me emotionally, but I can also use that to my own advantage if I have spare cash. I can still accumulate more with the opportunity that the dip offers.

Good thing if you have spare money to add more bitcoin in your portfolio, that's a good opportunity to maximize your bitcoin investment. However, not everyone is capable to buy so hodling should be the best option, and in order not to be triggered with the price and decide panic selling, stay off the market first and focus on your other investment or hobbies. While you become productive with other stuffs, you have avoided as well getting frustrated while seeing btc price drops drastically.

Good thing for me is that I have no reason to stress myself over irregular markets conditions.Control of stress begins the moment you realize that market crashes is also a part of the investment cycle and it's sure that every trader will have to experience this stage.
Maintain an emotional management controll to engage in other productive activities that'll enable you to recover from the past market crashes downturns.

Stop looking at the price if it stresses you out. Just because someone is standing out in front of your house yelling prices, doesn’t mean you have to trade with them. That’s a Warren Buffett reference for those who may not know. Wait for the price you want and don’t worry about it until you are ready to sell. Don’t stress yourself out.

The best way for a person not to get stressed during the bear market is to keep safe his coins and turn them to USDT. You wouldn't be worrying about the value that you keep watching the prices if your money is on stablecoin.

What you are just going to look forward is the bottom of the price so that you can buy back your BTC for a lower price. Having more Satoshis will relieve you from stress.

The best time that you should be having that USDT is came from on that sell out on the moment that bull run peaks do happen on which this will really be the ideal time that you would really be needing up to consider because on the moment that you do become that trying out to store up USDT or any stable coins came from your Bitcoin or from your stash on a bear market is never been that ideal or its just common sense that selling out on low prices is never been that a wise move. You should really be that doing it on peak of bull run but since this is unknown then the best approach is on trying out to release all those bags at the moment that the market cycle is ending up. If you are planning to hold for long term then i dont see for you to need on making up such action but rather it will be that understandable that you should be that holding up your position.

Stress is something unavoidable and even if we do say that we are getting used to market volatility but still there are those times or moments that we are really that being stress specially when seeing our portfolio is going down. It is really just that very normal that you will really be having that kind of emotions since we are just that humans on which we dont really like on losing money and whenever the market crash then we do have that kind of emotion or feelings that it isnt really that giving out some good vibe but rather disappointment and fear, but once you are someone who do have that sufficient experience then you can somewhat control it out and able to assess out the situation immediately.

I think stress is only what we are avoiding, not that we will literally cash out or what, because how can we now earn a profit then? Also USDT is not completely safe. It is centralized and then it might de-pegged too just like the other stable coins before. Lastly, if our money is in fiat and is stable, then what about the inflation?

What you are just going to look forward is the bottom of the price so that you can buy back your BTC for a lower price. Having more Satoshis will relieve you from stress.

I thought you don't want volatility? But apart from the dips, there is also pumps and recoveries. All three are need to earn a profit. Having more satoshi seems good at first thought for an optimistic investor but actually, our stress can also increase the more the assets we have. Maybe the key is to just use money that are only extra.

#1. The only time that you do consider out on quitting your job for trading is on the moment that you are already consistent on which simply means that you are earning way more than on what you can earn than with your day job on how many folds on which this will really be the best time that you should consider on going full time, but if not then it will really be just that a total suicide on doing up such decision.

#2. Never put your eggs on one basket on which this is really the best approach that you would be having or something the most common rule that we do have on investment on which diversification will really be always be ideal on which been said that crypto investment or even lets say with Bitcoin alone will really be not guarantee that you can be able to make huge profits on the years passing by.

#3. Proper mindset and getting in line with good emotional control on which this will really be that important because on the moment that you've been that having that kind of mindset that wanting to make money then despite of the current condition that you are in then you would really be that continuing on pushing because you've been that too optimistic on which you cant be able to determine on which are the things that looks good and something that you are on the negative side. It all matters about mentality and on the emotions that really that getting in line with it.

What is best to do is to totally keep off from any app that will draw your attention to how the price of the market is going. Also, engage yourself in any fun activity that will take away your attention from the crypto market. Another thing to take note of before investing is to make sure that you are investing the amount that you can afford to hold for a long time, so that even if price dip, you can still be willing to hold for a long time until when price is good again, another thing is to prevent yourself from investing into some shitcoims which probably could cause you to lose your money because when it dumps, it might never pump again.

[JoyMarsha]

What of us in the forum here who read about different posts made about Bitcoin? What should we do in that regard? Should we stop reading about Bitcoin posts generally for the time being? Since you want people to stay away what will remind them of their bitcoin investment.

However, I want to let you know that all the ways you mentioned can't be possible, even if it is possible, people will still hear about what's happening in the market from someone they know or the simple things they do.

Not a big deal if you don't pay attention to the crash, first and most is crossing the mind that no matter how badly the market moves, it still won't trigger to sell. With that simple affirmation, it is easy to decline every urge to sell when the market crashes.

Deleting apps and losing out from the internet will not help you escape it, one thing is the mind, and it often rings, reminding you of the market. You can be busy on the crash while someone else has some how for long anticipate that crash, the best way to get over any crash is by continuing to invest at each dip, even if you choose not to DCA regularly, let it be you close the space of waiting and observing price movements by accounting for more BTC.

[Ojima-ojo]

We know that some people can't help themselves in panic and have the intention to sell their losses.

The best way for me to relieve stress during market crashes like now is to;

• Stopping all price update notifications
• Deleting exchange apps (if you have them on an exchange)
• Not playing too much on the internet
• Focusing on the real world
• Keeping myself busy doing physical activities

Are there any other ways you can suggest?

You think that not doing all of that will help you to stay aware stay peaceful with market situations, I believe that you are misunderstanding things right there, the best form of composure during any time because even if you deactivate your exchange apps you will still keep seeing notifications that indirectly keep you updated with the current bitcoin price.


Between that also building knowledge knowing the way and manners that the market behaves make much sense so as not to panic during any deep just as you pointed out.

If you have been able to do things like you have mentioned, of course you will still be able to maintain assets until you reach the profit from the investment you are running and most importantly we have understood how to profit from the investment and continue to hold until we reach the profit target that we have set.
When you choose to invest in Bitcoin when it is falling, of course you will gain profit when the price goes back up, but we must also first pay attention to the funds that we will use to invest and do not make an investment if you cannot hold it in the long term, which means you have to take it back when you need funds.

All the strategies you have mentioned here to avoid stress are the best strategies to avoid stress. In fact, when people are trading or investing, when the market is down, stress automatically comes and many people break down mentally. However, if you can invest in a good coin like Bitcoin, then in order to be stress-free, you have to stop watching the market all the time and stop watching news from various news feeds and Twitter because watching too much market and watching news from various news feeds can make people even more weak. I don't have any other strategy. Why are all the strategies you have mentioned good strategies to increase people's stress and everyone may use these strategies to avoid their stress.

And I think all the suggestions that you mentioned earlier if done might help, but now the situation is very different and everyone is connected and friendly with the internet that they use every day. So whatever the method is none of them will be effective and if we talk about Bitcoin now almost everyone knows about it and all social media and any media often report developments about the market especially Bitcoin even from individuals.

And I think if you have been in this industry for a long time especially with the red market you will consider it as a normal thing and there is no panic because you know after that the market will recover because that is how the market works so just face it or it would be better to take advantage of it by increasing purchases because it is the best discount moment and holding it for the long term because Bitcoin is a long term investment that will give you great benefits and the decline that occurs is something that must be gone through and also faced because it is one of the processes that will take you to your destination.

I think overthinking is our main stress trigger. The situation has not happened yet but we have thought about it too much so that we are dizzy, even though there is a decline but when you have enough knowledge about the fundamentals of the coin it makes us more confident. Because when the time comes, everything will be fine and we will even get more profit. For example, think about Bitcoin going down. You don't need to think about it. Just do DCA it will make you better than you don't watch the market at all or delete the application related to the market.

Or you can also take a moment to rest, don't burden yourself with all the thoughts that are currently there. Let your body and mind relax, because sometimes giving yourself time to rest can make everything feel clearer and relieve stress. Avoid excessive worry, and focus on the calmness of the moment to achieve your desired goals. It is undeniable that investment or trading activities when prices fall make us stressed and panic but if you can manage it well the problem will not happen but with the note when investing choose assets that have strong fundamentals.

I once heard it on some youtube podcast where a guy (don't remember who that was) said that checking the price of bitcoin every day is like checking the price of your house. It won't change anything and you will only lose time and possibly start to wonder if there's something wrong with the house since yesterday it was worth more than it is today.

Leave watching the candles to traders. If you don't have any money on exchanges you won't be able to react to these pumps and dumps anyway. It took about 30 min for the price to pump from 86 to 88k and another 30 for it to go down from 88 to 85. Only traders care about these moves and only they are able to react. In fact it's them who make it all happen. If holders and users (people who buy and sell bitcoin when they really spend it) were the only ones here, we'd rarely see bitcoin move by 1%.

Yes, that's right, one of the most effective tricks to become a long-term bitcoin holder is to "forget about it temporarily" this is actually a bit related to philosophy in my opinion, so when you have bought bitcoin you can only focus on real life to avoid panic especially when the market is crashing, besides that the target price or time must also be prepared, I am also experiencing insecurity when the market crashes like now but my principle is that I don't need money for now and will survive in the market no matter what the conditions are.

I think the first thing to do is really accept the fact that the market has ups and downs. So with that kind of mindset, you might have the mentally to just look at the long term or the bigger picture of your investment and not just because it's going down, you are going to sell.

So for me, yeah, I do check the price but it's not like every hour. Definitely, I sometimes being affected in seeing the price going down. But still, I'm not in a panic mood as I understand that this is part of the market and also part of us as investors growing up. We are just being tested by the market itself. Let it go and then just glad that you can go and buy at cheap price again.
