Sure people are worried, because if you bought bitcoin in the last 12 months and held until now you're down a bit, or maybe at a very small gain if you're lucky.

They don't get one thing. Most of us long-term holders were in this situation at some point. You just have to get through this if you want to see 2x gains. I remember Saylor saying that too. If you want high gains like the ones bitcoin offers, you have to endure volatility. If you can't, just get a savings account, or buy bonds.

Every time bitcoin goes up like 2x people tell you that you're lucky and they're the ones who park their money in 5% a year investments

That is why volatility should never be hated, because many brave people have made huge profits from Bitcoin by taking advantage of this dumping of Bitcoin prices. They only buy Bitcoin during the dumping season in the Bitcoin market, hold it for a long time, and wait for the next bull market. So here I consider patience to be the only tool, because if you invest in Bitcoin with the money you can lose today, then this money will definitely give you benefits several times more than the capital. So it is most valuable to be patient by buying Bitcoin only during the dumping season.

It is not a problem if Bitcoin now decreases. It is what will happen to Bitcoin. Along with the increase, the decrease will be there so we don't have to worry. Bitcoin volatility will always happen so we should know when to take profit.

But if you want to still hodl Bitcoin for a few years, that will not be a problem. You may have another plan and not be worried about the current situation. You only want to accumulate Bitcoin and will sell it at the right time.

[lixer]

For long term, bitcoins are always going to be bullish and we can have significant profits if we are ready to be patient and hold for a longer duration. We are surely going to see dips for mid term because bitcoins can't just continue going in one direction as it will make them unrealistic. The dip is not going to be for a very long duration. If we consider the historical growth, we can see way more than 200% over the next 5 years. The main question here is how many would still be active with their holdings after 5 years?

People will loose patience if they see bitcoins dropping by a few points and will start panic selling. These people will hardly gain any profits from long term growth and they will end up winning and regretting their decisions.

[ginsan]

people worry now because bitcoin has been drawing back and has not been
making new ath which we all expected to happen but this is what eric trump has to say

Bitcoin exactly two years ago today was at $36,500. And what are we sitting at? You know, $102,000, $103,000, $105,000. We're dancing in that region. It was well over $120,000. So you had what, almost a 200% return in a two-year period of time.

i sit on this thought and realize he is right

critics use bitcoin's volatility to hate on it but it actually is what keeps us investors alive
volatility is what makes the world go ROUND! without volatility, the percentages of your return will be low

And I agree with that, price fluctuations are a way to take advantage in this market, high fluctuations are something that people rarely realize that the sharpest profits are in bitcoin fluctuations, therefore also institutions want to enter and always buy at bitcoin support prices to increase bitcoin holdings in order to benefit.

But you can also ignore these fluctuations if your bitcoin investment goal is long-term, a few decades may be enough for you to invest, and by then you will get a profit of more than 200% if during that time, even if you sell it in a bear market someday, just like the people who bought in 2015, they will not know that today is the day their wealth can change their lives for the better.

Bitcoin’s long term trajectory has consistently shown growth despite the heavy volatility in between cycles every major dip has eventually led to a stronger recovery and new highs but what determines who profits from that growth is not timing but patience people often forget that holding through the rough phases is the hardest yet most rewarding part of the process.

Short term dips are inevitable because the market needs corrections to stay healthy those who panic during these phases are the ones who miss out on the long term compounding effect historically bitcoin has always rewarded those who held through uncertainty with massive gains afterward but the reality is that only a small portion of investors actually make it through a full five year cycle most give up when the price drops and later regret selling too early. The real challenge isn’t understanding bitcoin’s potential it’s mastering emotions when fear and doubt take over those who can detach from short term fluctuations and stay focused on the bigger picture are the ones who’ll truly benefit from the next wave of growth patience discipline and conviction are what turn a holder into a long term winner.

Right, without Bitcoin's volatility, we won't be interested on it. And if it's not that high, I think that most investors will have to stick to gold instead of going on with Bitcoin. It's hard to change the perspective of other people when we're on this moment that the market is so bad that it keeps falling down. If you're not going to be calm at these moments, you're going to panic and sell almost everything you have because it runs to your emotion. That's why never been triggered by your emotion and those who have been in this market understands the importance of controlling it.

This dump was just an another opportunity to buy bitcoins but if we consider for a short term, this dump can even make us earn profits if we start short selling. So, there is no actual need to exit the markets if we see the price dumping instead we can turn it into an opportunity to make better profits in future. I will always look at the dump as an buying opportunity with huge discounts. That is because I am ready to hold for a long time and I will not let my emotions interfere my decisions.

But this is not the case with a lot of other investors. They want profits within a few months and have their emotions attached which is only going to make things way worst if they do not see the markets pumping again.

Even with high volatility, bitcoin will eventually return to its peak if it returns to the same cycle, as now it has felt bitcoin bullish to ATH and it is time to enter the bear market, so be prepared for high volatility.

People's perceptions are always different when they have started to decline, people will assume this will not recover again or they panic for fear of loss, usually people like this are still not ready to face the market like now.

I don't care what Erik Trump has to say, i do not need "quotes" from popular/prominent individuals to reinforce my believe in bitcoin. I have been in the network for a very long time, so my perspective is fixed firmly in what we already know, which is if bitcoin falls, it will definitely rise again.

That said, what people people are worried about is if we are in a bear market now and based on the "past", we shouldn't be bearish just yet. Past history and movements aids in somewhat predicting BTC price movement in the long run. But there are a lot of bitcoiners who believe the market might be shifting away from its "normal" cyclical pattern.

[henmark]

I do not think we might reach another ATH soon. We already saw a mind boggling ATH of $126,000 and if we consider historical data, bitcoins will continue to either go sideways or dump after reaching ATH. So that is what I am expecting and so far, my expectations have came true. I am still expecting some more dump to come along because I see a lot of people are now panicking just because we have came below $100,000. Going below $100,000 have made people think that price might continue to go down so we see a lot of people selling now so that they can get better buying opportunities in the future.

We have lost more than 30% value but still I do not see markets being that volatile. The drop was not sudden so I think that bitcoins somewhere have lost their volatility and are now much safer when it comes to investment.

Even I might really care about the statement from Erik, but I do accept the fact that bitcoins are quite sensitive when it comes to fundamental news or statements from influencer like Erik.

These influencers are major holders and people usually think that their decision might shape the future of bitcoins. It was true a couple of years back but now I do not really think that anyone will be able to manipulate the market just because they are holding a bigger bag. But yes, news travels fast when it comes to cryptos so I will keep monitoring further news so I can make my trading decisions depending on the fundamentals. I do not solely depend on the technical analysis anymore.

I get what you mean. Volatility is not even something to fear, it is actually where opportunities hide. Those crazy dumps can feel scary at first, but the people who stay calm and actually buy during those times are usually the ones who make the biggest gains.
Just know patience is the key here. It is not about chasing every move or trying to predict the next pump. It is about knowing your plan, sticking to it, and being willing to sit through the market ups and downs without letting fear or greed take over..

Bitcoin is naturally up and down, so there is nothing to be afraid of when it falls, what is needed is to keep your goal clear. If you want to play in the short term, it is important to understand the time of the fluctuations and take profits, otherwise the market will turn you around.

And if you have a plan to hold for a few years, then these fluctuations are actually like words. The history of Bitcoin is such that big falls come, and then big rises also come from there. So those who think long term do not take so much tension. I personally think it is right to stick to your plan.

Volatility is essential for any and every form of investment to appreciate and generates ROI. Without volatility, any amount invested in anything remains same amount for as long as you kept it. The people who criticised volatility are probably just not comfortable with the volatility the see on a particular asset els they all know that generally volatility is needed on every investment to get returns, only that the time variation makes some looks too good and some very normal or regular.

Various Assets has their own volatility which makes that of some other asset feel so unreal. Bitcoin brought about a difference perspective of volatility and returns of which some people are yet to come to terms with, and so they result to criticism and looking for loopholes to validate their sentiment but it doesn't changes the continuous volatility Bitcoin gets.

Volatility is exactly what gives bitcoin its unique potential because without those sharp rises and falls there wouldn’t be room for real profit it’s the very nature of this market that creates opportunities for those who are patient enough to take advantage of them the people who panic during every dip are often the same ones who end up buying high and selling low while those who stay calm and buy when fear dominates the market usually come out with massive gains later on.

The truth is that patience and discipline are what separate investors from speculators bitcoin has gone through countless dumps and recoveries and each time the pattern repeats itself those who understand that volatility isn’t a threat but rather a signal of opportunity use these downturns to accumulate more while prices are cheap it’s about thinking long term and not reacting emotionally to short term noise..

When you buy during a dump and hold with a clear strategy you’re basically using time and patience as your biggest allies instead of trying to outsmart the market or chase the next pump you let the market’s natural cycle work in your favor and when the next bull run comes the rewards for enduring the volatility usually make every moment of waiting worth it.

We as crypto users, especially Bitcoin, are used to what is happening now, even though the price continues to decline, this is indeed the cycle of Bitcoin's journey, and we must be able to take advantage of every situation, and I am sure that now many people have taken advantage of this opportunity, even though it takes time to get profits, but everything needs a process, because we all know that Bitcoin will provide surprises every few years, so never doubt Bitcoin whose price is difficult to manipulate, so we can save it and get maximum results.

For those who already understand the Bitcoin cycle, they will certainly take advantage of moments like this to continue accumulating according to their abilities and will certainly remain patient with the process they must go through. For those who are still unsure, they will need to change their perspective on Bitcoin and continue to learn about how Bitcoin works to generate profits from investing in Bitcoin. But I am very confident that you have accumulated Bitcoin and are ready to profit from it in the future.

[ScamViruS]

Bitcoin going down is not a problem if we review Bitcoin's past bull markets. Because before the Bitcoin bull market, there was always a big correction and then the situation was much worse. Market corrections are important as they help the market build a solid foundation before the next big bull run. And when the market goes down, it gives investors more opportunities to grow their Bitcoin positions.

It is true that when Bitcoin goes into a downtrend, it creates a lot of panic in the market, and that is when investors who are not patient panic sell their Bitcoin. Therefore, investors should be more patient rather than panicking when market volatility occurs.

Every time Bitcoin experiences a correction, it becomes an opportunity to enter the market, especially if the drop is significant. Many people regret being late to accumulate Bitcoin in its early years, so that should serve as a valuable lesson for those who expect long term profits. I think Bitcoin will return to the $100k level and even set a new ATH in the future, but of course, it all requires time and patience. I think the risk will be worth the reward when investing in Bitcoin, if you don’t take the opportunities available, then you must be prepared to regret it later.
