Do not panic or fall for their manipulations.

 This is a form of encouragement and an eye opener to all holders to keep holding and buy aggressively if the fund is available for that. If you notice, the big players (whales) are seriously buying lately but then the market didn't show any signs of improving but dropping gradually and forcing weak hands to sell.
 They're manipulating the market to make the shrimps fear and sell, at some point, even some determined holders could even panic to sell but come to think of it, regardless of the downward trends lately the big whales keep buying and aggressively for that matter, that's what you should consider before taking a step you'll regret in the future.
 So before rushing to panic sale like chicken hands do, ask yourself why the big whales don't sale but buy more whenever the market drops, it's simply because they manipulate the market with different trends to cause panic and buy more, they want you to get scared so they'll get more of your coins since they're aware of it's worth, therefore do not panic and keep holding.

Your absolutely right. Many small investors tend to panic when price drops, forgetting that whales often uses fear to buy more. the market runs on emotions, not just numbers. holding through the dips takes patience, but that is what separates real investors from weak investors.

As far as I know it is good to buy when the market is crashing, so if anyone is investing and the market crashed, it is an opportunity for him to accumulate more. Many people still don't understand the investment pattern. You don't have to wait for a particular time to invest but invest at all time. When the price decrease you but to cover up the once you buy when the price e dey high so when the price move above the time you buy the lower rate, you don already get your lost funds for the time you buy when the price e dey high. So do best way is to use DCA.

Sometimes you no go blame those people wey maybe dey sell out of fear my amiable OP because many of them na definitely people or investors wey just enter the system newly and they never know the way the market dey. In most cases, na borrow them even borrow the capital wey them dor carry invest so na why you go notice am say when price drop, them dey contact and fear of loss dey full their body and like I said you no go blame them.

This same reason dor make me drop thread about wetin new investors suppose do if them wan go into investments but you go surprise say some go see am and no go even read am because them fit dey feel say e no dey relevant. Them go even dey compare themselves to the OGs for the game say them too (OGs) started from the same level wey them (new investors) dey. Them dey forget say just like wetin Kanayo O Kanayo talk "to be successful, you need to make sacrifices" and those OGs dor make many sacrifices, dor take plenty risks before them kon make the profit wey them get today.

So as a newbie or new person wey won go into investing, as you do get the money to use start or buy your first asset, whether na your own money or na borrow you borrow am, I go advice you to know just two things before you start because na mistakes wey people dey do without even knowing say na mistake them be. Follow this link so that you go fit see the particular post I been dor do before for this same matter https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5558518.msg65785466#msg65785466

As Bitcoin have impressed us and have managed to grow it's value with time I don't think this will be the end of it after going too far. There are people who don't have a strong mind to withstand the pressure that's why they are selling when the price is dropping, they want to maintain their investment price and not lose any dime. These whale investors know that Bitcoin will rise again and make them more profits that's why they are buying and keep buying, they see this fall as an opportunity to buy at a cheaper rate. That's just the mindset of a real business man.

If you have to compete with the Bitcoin market and go to a profitable place, then you have to keep yourself mentally stable at all times. Most holders lose the most by selling in panic. If someone sells Bitcoin at a 20% dip, then it needs to increase by 25% to return to the previous price. So if you get out of the hold and get it, it is much more difficult to return to the previous state. Even if no one can control the market, they can control their mind and their decisions if they want. If you invest for more than 5 years with a long-term plan, the risk is reduced a lot. So anyone can do well in the market. Don't panic, but take decisions with a plan. Only then will Bitcoin work in their favor.

If they are manipulating, our mind should not inclined towards what they are doing, so that we don't get being manipulated along with them, sometimes, we have to stay on hold and not go along any press release from them as they sometimes position to cause a market reaction and the price changes only for a short time, those that follows along by then may be in loss, while holders may not be affected for not taking any step toward the reaction.

[SmartGold01]

Those who panicked and sell are those who doesn't understand how the market operates and I can also term them to be newbie invest because most them who doesn't want their investments to drop in a single percentage could be that afraid of losing money from their investments and will also want to secure their profits by dumping when the market changes direction. But those who understood the market or that has been in the space for long would never want such to happen to them and instead you would see them accumulating more of the coin to their portfolio.

It is just a common mentality that everyone ought to have known by now. Investing when the price crashes is the best time of investment, do not invest at such a very peak time of the market because the chances are that if the market continues to grow from there, you won’t get to benefit from it a lot. But the introduction of the DCA method nullified that, you can invest at anytime irrespective of what the price of the market is. Just make sure you continue investing consistently when you have money. Since the market is volatile, you can always get to benefit from the times you invested at an higher price because investing at lower price will also have made you balance that up to be at an averaged buying price.

Yeah if you’ve been in bitcoin then you’ll know that whales manipulate the market and it shouldn’t bother you as a holder or bitcoin investor cause your goal should be for the long term and the action of this whales is just to influence the market and make gains in a short term.
Any newbie getting into bitcoin should have in mind that it’s a long term game you’re playing that way whatever happens in the short term wouldn’t give you much worry.
This whales want your coins so Hodl that stash and stack more as much as you can.

This is a very important advice to the Bitcoin community especially those who are Investing with the mindset of holding for the long run, market manipulation and sending the wrong signal out just to scare people from buying is one thing that we can't totally rule out. Because when this happens alot of people begins to panic and this will send the wrong message to those who are holding.No body should be moved by the recent drop of price of Bitcoin this is one attribute about Bitcoin that we as Bitcoin enthusiastic should have gotten used to because Bitcoin  will always bounce back.

If there's the fear of missing out which prompts weak hands to sell because of whale movements affecting trends, there's also the joy of missing out which would entail that if you hold and ignore all the noise of the whale movements you would be profitable in the long run.
The crypto currency market thrives on speculation and trend movement and that's why an investor with a long term goal in mind should not panic but keep on accumulating more BTC for that future reason.

[Jubilee58]

The theory is always to buy the dip and sell high, every bitcoin crash is always an opportunity to buy more, bitcoin has been in existence for more than a decade and some people have also held bitcoin for more than a decade and some times bull market differs, while some may start early some might start very late.

There is something that is very interesting about bitcoin, every bull season marks a new all time high, so that , even though the price of bitcoin crashes today, investors are optimistic about it's recovery as very huge trust is being bestowed in the bitcoin market.

Bitcoin has gained so much trust from the investors couple with the global interest and adoption, bitcoin has come to stay , quitting from the market instead of buying the dip is nothing but robbing yourself of the benefit you are supposed to derive as bitcoin increases with time.

It is natural that when big whale investors buy, the market will return to a positive trend again. It will be difficult for those who will just panic and sell without any judgment and analysis to profit from Bitcoin. When strong hands buy, it is definitely wise to join them and continue buying if you have the ability.

Sometimes the market goes down for no reason, but whales are buying at that time. The reason is that those whale investors will create an opportunity to profit from ordinary investors by influencing the market in any way. If you can improve your skills without following the whales, it will be very easy to stop panic selling.
