How to manage fear of lost as a Bitcoin investors

[Patikno]

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.

Basically, if someone understands what they are investing in, they will have complete confidence in their assets, and no fear of loss. If we are talking about Bitcoin investors, they should understand what Bitcoin is, and should study it to understand its potential, especially in the long term. So, they won't be afraid of loss even if Bitcoin's value drops. Furthermore, Bitcoin investors should understand that Bitcoin isn't a quick way to make a profit, and no one has become successful in Bitcoin overnight, many Bitcoin investors succeed by holding their investments for the long term. By the way, I believe DCA is the best way for people who are easily afraid of loss when investing in Bitcoin. Maybe, they can use the DCA method to minimize their fear. Essentially, everyone should understand the assets they want to invest in and know which method suits them best, aligning with their principles.

There is no much thing to be afraid of as far as you are investing because what you should know is investing and trading Bitcoin are two different things you need to know. The pet who should be afraid are those trading because trading Bitcoin is something that not everyone can do. But when it comes to investments it's a quiet different case the only thing that, you need to know before investing is how Bitcoin investment works the laws guiding it and knowing that investing in Bitcoin is not something you can cash out quick. Because there is this miscommunication about Bitcoin investment as a tool of cashing out quick money which is not true.

The fear is not because of their Bitcoin investment.
They could just as well invest into anything else and they would still have shakey hands.

I think everyone needs to feel the monetary loss from panic-selling before they become seasoned investors.
It is basically a rite of passage.

Or you could see it as an education fee.

Bitcoin is like a digital asset, but if you intend to trade it, you need to be consistent as a business man and trader. Personally I think altcoin is a trading part only to grow up real crypto BTC!

Bitcoin is a digital asset and not like because it's probably the begining of digital assets or the first innovation of digital assets so saying it's like a digital asset is a misappropriation of word. Altcoins are most risky because of its level of vulnerability to manipulation but however it's all there as copies of the main asset which is bitcoin.
Op should be more concerned with investing in bitcoin, while doing that also try to figure out your ways around bitcoin or understand it better, there is nothing to fear bitcoin is not an altcoin.

While this could help but not all of the financial advisor that you are trusting could do you a favor. Because there can be times that they're going to help you for their own pleasure. They're up for the sale and what they will offer you are their products that they'd say it could help you build you a better portfolio and avoid being scared in the market. This is one of the realities that people are taken advantaged of the people we thought are helping us. But I am only saying this for not all of them because there are still few that are honest to their service.

I can say for myself that bitcoin is one of the cryptocurrencies you really don’t need to worry about. Even if you don’t manage to sell it at a good price, it will eventually regain its strength and go higher. The only thing you end up regretting is the time that passes, because in the current cycle you could have already made money, even doubled it, and instead everything gets pushed back for another couple of years. Just follow the DCA principle if the price drops, keep accumulating, and you’ll be rewarded.

I think the ways to manage fear in Bitcoin investment is know when to exist the market and come back(invest) to the market. Like the way we have bear market and the bull run. Which the bull market can said to be the best time to exist the market, while the bear market is actually the best time to invest in the market.

Another ways for someone to manage their fears is to avoid platforms that shill on investing on Bitcoin with a particular amount within a timeframe, whereas there's no guarantee in Bitcoin investment

Not to be dramatic but I seem to be confused in the frame work of this thread because it seems to me that the thread is kind of mislabeled or has not direct relation from its title to the body of the thread, how to manage fear of loss as a bitcoin investor should be a clear precise description of how one can do that not what I just read, maybe I’m the only person seeing it that way. For me there are only two things involved in bitcoin investment , protect your wallet, buy and hold. The risk is not more than losing it to hacks or losing the access to the wallet as long as you are investing and not trading.

[Peanutswar]

It depends on your goal if you are focus with the value of the bitcoin and you bought at the top of the market for sure you will get loss already but of course after you bought you have a plan are you going to hold the bitcoin for another cycle or you will want to make a swing trades if you are into a loss already better to make a cut loss than making another market deep to make lower your the price but if you are a purpose with the bitcoin such as payment and other transactional thing you’d better purpose of it.

When it make a trade i do always prepare to risk the 10% of my total capital when i do trades so i can check if i can make another re entry for new opportunities.

Solid investing advice overall: start small, be patient, and dont let emotions mess with your decisions.  One thing I saw in the first post that bugs me (and its not my fault, lol) is the part about talking to a financial advisor you trust.  I dont think thats a must, especially if you are investing small potatoes.  Finding someone trustworthy can be tough, mainly if you dont have a ton of money to spend on their help.  So, personally, I would rather skip the advisors and just depend on my own research and judgment.

As a Bitcoin investor, to overcome the fear of loss, you must adopt a long-term plan and invest the amount of money that you can afford to lose. There are many of us who do decide to use all the money in our life at once, but in fact, we shouldn't invest all our money. If we make small budgets according to our losing ability and invest regularly using the DCA method, our investment will be much more confident and the loss will be much less and there will be no fear in us and if we can hold on for a long time, then our success will definitely be created very soon. However, to overcome the fear of loss in your investment, you have to be more aware of the fact that we have to ensure the maximum security of the wallet we hold. If we can ensure the maximum security of the wallet we hold our Bitcoin, we can protect ourselves from various losses and overcome fear.

Fear when investing in volatile assets is quite natural, but if managed properly, following the key points you outlined, investments can run smoothly. I personally always prioritize the principle of only investing with money you can afford to lose and prioritizing long-term goals. Another simple but important tip is not to constantly monitor the market, as this can lead to fear when the market reverses. And always remember that patience is key with Bitcoin.

The fact that you could lose from any investment, the fear to lose is always observed in every investor. This is the reason why you have to familiarize your investment well and learn from those early investors before you decide to invest. And never expect getting rich quick, no investment is capable to do that except if you are dealing with a monkey business.

Patience creates a big difference when you invest. Never rush creating decisions that could lead to losses in the end.

You can’t hope to profit if you aren’t open to losses.
Fear is what helps you to better guide your investment, it pushes you to the brink of research, looking for informations that would aid your not having to make mistakes.

There is hardly a loss with Bitcoin when you choose to hold. The market would continue to be volatile for sure but, history has always backed it to pump right back.

When you are scared, the one place I recommend you go look is history, the studies would show you just what you need to hold on to.

The most important thing is get a job especially if the salary is high, so you will have money and able to invest. Most people I know have a problem because they have no money or they lack of money, they don't have a safety net, but choose to invest everything that they have.

Other factor like your homework, research Bitcoin trending news, coinmarkercap, coin telegraph,

Bad idea, those sites produce crap contents which mostly talking about politics and unnecessary information.

I think you will find more scammers rather than getting help by them, this forum better.

talk to a trusted financial advisor not influencers

Bad idea, remember this quote "don't trust, verify".

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.

The crypto market is too wide that even an expert can easily make wrong predictions about the market trends. Following a high rate of Bitcoin volatility this days, I suggest that beginners should not indulge in any trading that seems to be panicking or worrisome to them rather they should go into long term investment. Doing so will enable them to understand much about the market trends, when it's favourable to trade, and alerts about scammers.

Fear of loss is what any investor in Bitcoins feels, no matter his or her experience. The above points are valid since it is advisable to begin small and make decisions that are not emotional in order to minimize unjustifiable pressure. Cryptocurrencies can fluctuate quite rapidly, which is why, in most cases, holding long-term is easier than attempting to forecast the short term trends as a newcomer in the field. It enables you to do it slowly, know how the market works, and not to make the rush. It is necessary to remain updated, yet it is also necessary not to be bombarded with price changes every minute or be misled by influencers and so on. The process of overcoming fear and gaining confidence with time is much more appropriate by focusing on the right research, becoming a part of peaceable conversation groups and learning one step at a time.

This is actually quite hard to handle. Managing your fear when it comes to investing in crypto such as bitcoin was never easy.
Take example, even after you've done your research, be it TA or FA, there's always something that f you up. Bad news may come randomly.
And that's when you learn. You cannot avoid the losses no matter how careful you are. It would be good to start with a small fund that you can afford to lose. From there just take every ups and downs as experience.

[traderethereum]

Research is important for investors so they know what, how, when, and other factors to start Bitcoin investing. Having a lot of knowledge before starting will help investors to prepare everything so they can knowing the steps to be strong hand Bitcoin investors.

The investors will learn about managing emotions, set the fund to invest in Bitcoin, and how long to hodl Bitcoin. The investors know how to manage the fear of loss especially when they buy at high prices but the price is down. They will not be afraid but will see the opportunities to buy more.

If you can research the necessary things to be Bitcoin investors, you will not be afraid of market fluctuations. You will see more opportunities when the market is down.

[X-ray]

Really the only best way to manage fear is just by investing something that you can easily shrug it off when things go south. An example is investing portion of your savings. That way even if we are having the worst scenario you'll just say "dang! too bad" and move on.

When you are in fear, it's an indicator that maybe you're investing too much. But honestly there's no such thing in investing too much in bitcoin if you know what you're doing and buying at low.

First, identify the asset you want to invest in so you have a clear understanding of its trajectory. Then, limit the risk you can afford to lose, which will help you better control your emotions. Don't rush into large investments, as they can often have a significant psychological impact if the asset you hold experiences a significant decline. Bitcoin is indeed a potential asset, but not everyone is prepared for the sharp decline that occurs, especially for beginners who don't yet fully understand the proper investment system. It is better to start with a small capital so that we will get used to facing pressure in the market and our experience will also increase so that we can slowly increase the investment amount based on each person's ability.
