How to manage fear of lost as a Bitcoin investors

[MusaPk]

Don’t check price frequently. You will not suffer a realized unless you already sold your holdings. You will feel anxiety and fear if you keep checking the price since it’s too volatile. There’s always a bearish season on every cycle so it’s normal that it will correct after a price surge.

Holding long term without checking the price helps me to holding without experiencing fear because I’m already used to the price dip.

It's now very clear that benefit of investing in Bitcoin is for long term not for few weeks or months. These days Bitcoin price is going down and there is great uncertainty spread in the market, where people are doubtful about future price of Bitcoin. This happens every time Bitcoin price goes down and the whales take full advantage of such situation by buying Bitcoin in great quantity. Till date there is dip or bear season that is followed by massive bull run. If we overcome our fear and but at dip then we can get good ROI when Bitcoin goes up.

^ Sentiment of the people changes too quickly; the market is just the nerve center of that activity.

We shouldn't take what people think as granted.. It's about your own analysis and abilities to understand the situation.

Some of the keys factor to look as an investor
Know your risk tolerance, the ability of accepting the losses of your investment exchange, invest only what you can afford to lose. Not your life saving not what you borrow, only what you afford to lose in case such happen as a beginner.
Other factor like your homework, research Bitcoin trending news, coinmarkercap, coin telegraph, understand why you are investing not as just a feeling because others are doing it
Start small, scale slow, test with the manageable amount to lose in case marker exchange change as a newbie, then gradually increase as you feel comfy. Set rules, No emotion , in this case decide price to buy/sell before you sweat. Stay updated, not obsessed, that's to set alerts on weekly check, join calm crypto communities group (Twitter, telegram Facebook ) seek support, talk to a trusted financial advisor not influencers , all this help in managing the fear of investors.

Even though one might not lose money if they are investing in Bitcoin as long as they have enough patience to keep holding, it's still not good for anyone to use money that they need for something else, or take loans for making investments, or sell something important such as a property or a house that they own only so that they can invest the money in Bitcoin, because even though you might not lose the money, you should know that your investment is not guaranteed to give you good returns in the short run, and if that doesn't happen, your investment could get stuck.

For example, someone sells a property they own to invest the money in Bitcoin, and they want to get some profits from the investment so that they can buy another property with it but they need it urgently. Now, in this case, the person shouldn't invest the money in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, because this market is unpredictable, and you might have to wait for years before reaching breakeven and then make some profits.

Op, you have highlighted some key points here in your thread, well, there are many ways to manage risks taking or managing any kinds of lost as an investor, either in a bitcoin investment or bitcoin trading and even a whole businessman, as such, the first thing one need to do is by planning his/herself on financial activities, such as building up your mindset on where to invest on, choose the strategy that will sooth you, if you know you bitcoin investment would go a long way for or cryptocurrency trading then go for it, if it's businesses that would work for you, then go for it, however, adapting by the risks in investment should be practices in order to achieve your goals, invest what you can afford to, in essence.

When you made up your mind on investment, don't invest all your funds, if realy you know you can or most use the funds within a short period of time, it's better for you to keep your mind away from the money you invested, so that you can achieve your goals.

It's not always like that and we may never know how BTC would react to this or that, it doesn't matter as long as we hodl it properply.

What makes me strong enough to be an investor is swallowing that fear, weathering the storm, this is definitely more useful than listening to anyone for your investment.

Enjoying the fear that continues to envelop you, the market bleeding and looking like there is no hope, that's where the formation of your identity becomes stronger, through all of that with the bitcoin you hold, you will definitely have a strong investor mentality.

If you are not trading, avoid telegram and Facebook but install X on your phone and be using it to check update and the accounts you should be following has to be accounts that has some credibility, not all these ones that spread fake news for views and impressions. Try and also avoid platform that may give you inspiration of selling your coins to buy back, we have many of them that are very misleading and sometimes spread FUD just to make the market to fall.

The tip I will like you to hold very dearly is don't use borrow money to buy Bitcoin, don't buy coin with debt if you don't have a way to pay back because you will always pressure to pay back when your borrowed funds is due and in that moments, you may be triggered to sell just to pay back your borrowed money. If you have a means of making money, the money you borrowed should be below the amount of Bitcoin you want to buy, this may mean nothing until you try out and find out.

I think it’s not about holding bitcoin properly, it’s about investing wisely, now let me tell you something, if you’re investing in bitcoin with your discretionary income, I think there is every tendency you will not have to be afraid in terms of buying bitcoin and holding for a long term, because discretionary income is your left over money and their is every opportunity available of having a good return if you stay motivated and staying on track.

So if you should ask me it’s not about investing money into bitcoin, and you also have to be careful in investing all your money in bitcoin, that would be a very wrong thing to do, if markets price dips you should keep buying and accumulating bitcoin, there is absolutely no reason to panic because of a drop in the price of bitcoin people have had different experiences in cryptocurrency which is why it’s important to stick with bitcoin specifically.

Well do you actually need all these rules, news on coin market cap and other sources? I think only if your aim is to trade or face altcoin investment that is when you need to take all these into consideration so that you can have a good plan ahead of any news that might arise to avoid losing your position to liquidation if you in future trading, or spoiling your plans if you trade in spot because they are always short time traders that take profit on time and target another entry.

If you want to invest in Bitcoin, you don’t have to panic at all, you only need some money to buy, hold, buy again and hold again. As far as cryptocurrency is still alive to the extent of deciding which altcoin to invest in, buy Bitcoin as your backup asset and gear no more because no matter how bad the market will go, Bitcoin will determine the next move if the market.

Always educate yourself and set limits to your expectations knowing you are investing on a highly volatile asset.  Next, invest regularly through DCA, that way you won't fear of some small losses because you are also in the process of growing your bitcoin portfolio. And lastly, use a simple approach and build a strategy, something that you think will highly suit to your bitcoin investment.

Losses are sometimes inevitable in the market, but if you can follow all of these, you will have the chances to limit your future losses, and maximize your future profits.

[SOKO-DEKE]

What is really causing the fear of losing in Bitcoin investment for some investors is lack of knowledge. When an investor lacks proper understanding of Bitcoin, no matter how they try to manage the fear of loss, it will really hard to take their mind off because they don't hqve the strong believe.So I feel the best way to avoid the fear of losing is for and investor to understand Bitcoin very well before they should not invest blindly without proper knowledge, otherwise they may end up selling their Bitcoin investment at the wrong time.Knowledge is what plays the most important role in managing fear. Knowledge is what can guide someone properly.

[Scarlett_23]

The fear of losing Bitcoin can only be controlled when you invest in a disciplined manner by following the principles of investment. The first step in such an investment is to develop a long-term mindset. If there is a regular income system, then it should be divided for survival and an emergency fund should be formed.

An emergency fund is so that in an emergency, you do not have to look at the investment money. When investing, you should definitely invest by considering your own financial situation and not by looking at others. Of course, new investors need to remember that investment is not a trade. Bitcoin is not a means of getting rich quickly.

Therefore, without being attracted to others or listening to others, you should invest long-term with only the amount of money that will not cause any environmental pressure.

[vanesha]

There are many ways for investors but not all of them will succeed, investor failure is excessive fear, investing in bitcoin is very profitable from the beginning until now, the easiest technique for beginners is DCA considering it lost money but routinely buying 2 times in one month, routinely up to 5 years I am still very sure 100% that is the easiest way to take advantage in the long term

When someone wants to become an investor, I think they already know the risk of loss is the main point.
A clear understanding of the risk mindset is crucial because the goal is to remain mentally strong.
Once this mindset has been mastered, an investor must learn how to avoid loss, or at least minimize it if it does occur.
If an investor understands both of these, there's no reason to fear loss.

Know your risk tolerance, the ability of accepting the losses of your investment exchange, invest only what you can afford to lose. Not your life saving not what you borrow, only what you afford to lose in case such happen as a beginner.

Surely I agree with this point, knowing one's risk tolerance can be a good starting point, in this risk tolerance it will make you invest what you can afford to lose, and not doing above expectations. The primary reason why people regret too often in Bitcoin investment is because they lack the basic principle and regret immediately that's why people need to DYOR before Bitcoin investment.

Start small, scale slow, test with the manageable amount to lose in case marker exchange change as a newbie, then gradually increase as you feel comfy. Set rules, No emotion , in this case decide price to buy/sell before you sweat.

Your points are well noted, only that most of the advice here emphasis more about trading.

[Dareo]

I think if you want to invest, you have to accept first of all, in your head, that there will be losses. It is not something to hide. But knowing about the risks is not all there is to it, the real test is to survive with that pressure in mind. Many people are aware of the rules, but when they see real losses, they get confused. That's when wrong decisions, panic and haste begins.

So I would say that apart from learning loss avoidance techniques, it is very important to be mentally prepared. Being able to understand when to stop, how much risk is right to take, and where you went wrong, is a big thing for an investor. If these are under control then losses are not something to be afraid of but rather a part of the game.

The possibility of loss, the ability to tolerate loss, these must be there, because there is no possibility of not losing, as much as you are thinking of achieving success here, the possibility of loss is also equal here. So to survive here, you must keep in mind the possibility of loss, market fluctuations, volatility or temporary decline cannot break any experienced investor, but they have good idea about these, they can easily make very wrong decisions as a result due paniked. So they have to be careful about this, they have to be mentally prepared for it, only then is it possible to survive here in the long term.

Risk management is one of the most important factor to consider in any form of crypto activities be it crypto trading, altcoin investment, Bitcoin investment, bitcoin and altcoin trading and so on, you need to learn how to manage your risk to grow your investment, you can’t rely on other people to make money, you need to grow yourself learn and depend on yourself in cryptocurrency, no one is to be trusted because everybody is after what he will earn in his pocket.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

We should be able to conquer the FOMO and FUD that might be in us, because in cryptocurrency and bitcoin to be precise, we should expect more of volatility therein, which will also determines on what we get form it, not all the news received online should be regarded as genuine except from a reliable source, we should learn to do our own research, avoid excess risk, invest moderately and monitors it, then make use of all the necessary indications that give the possible bearing the market is taking for our own profitability, while we keep on learning everyday to know more.

Well, as you learn and based on experiences, you'll eventually handle it everything smoothly. If you already feel the urge to all in or do some crazy things without a good decision, stop it because it'll definitely ruin your journey.

Always plan and analyze things, do some research and of course ask some people that knows about the game, don't do everything by yourself because it gets riskier if you're doing it by your own self.

Fud is everywhere but always remember that it's just an opinion nowadays so it's really not a recommended to listen, always get 2 steps ahead, do something that could help you prolong your investments, make time for it.
