How to manage fear of lost as a Bitcoin investors

[HelliumZ]

When you get into Bitcoin, you need to know about the risks of investing in Bitcoin before you invest. It is completely foolish for an investor to invest in Bitcoin without knowing about the risks of investing in it. You should invest with the amount of risk you have the ability to take. But in the case of new investors, the situation is the opposite, especially they do not develop a mindset to take risks and do not give themselves fitness in the same way, due to which they withdraw from trading or investing immediately after making a small loss.

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

You should never invest beyond your means, if you invest beyond your means then your chances of losing will be highest. You can gain more experience to get rid of losses, there are some investors who fail to benefit from the market. They cannot control their money and use their experience properly, the market can change at any time, but in this case it is better to get involved in long-term investments.

For peace of mind in cryptocurrency it is best to invest what you can afford to loose because they are very volatile, price can dip at any moment without a warning so to have peace of mind it is better to use what you can afford to loose. If you're on Bitcoin investment there shouldn't be such much fears in your mind, not the kind of fear you will have when you are holding altcoins, Bitcoin has shown potentials that it has the ability to always reach ATH. Where you need to manage fear in Bitcoin as a business is when you are a trader, trading is hard because you can lose your coins in a very short time.

Everything you said is true OP related to several things that need to be considered by an investor when wanting to engage in trading, talking about fear in my opinion goes back to one's responsibility, simply put if for example you are really ready for risk then I think fear should not be too significant, therefore it is true as stated by OP that make sure we only put in the amount of money that we are ready to lose, in my opinion fear has a close relationship with how risk management we have.

The only way to manage fear is to make investments, study market and understand that there are never guarantees of profit, it might take a lot of time before profit comes and also be ready to accept that profit will never come. And most important, have a money pillow or never invest all and last money. Be financially stable, that a loss of money wont scare to death but be an experience, and a call to improve. I dont know how else to stop fearing losing money.

Fear is inherent in every human being. It's unavoidable but you can learn to overcome the fear of loss when investing. Fear isn't unique to investing it can also be found elsewhere such as the fear of falling in love, the fear of not having enough money, the fear of losing, the fear of failure, the fear of being judged, the fear of being judged, the fear of being judged, the fear of being judged. There are so many fears in life.

So, you just need to examine yourself first. It's possible the root of your fear stems from a misperception or a lack of mastery of Bitcoin. So, you need to identify what's making you afraid so you can easily recover from it. If you're afraid of Bitcoin's fluctuations you need to understand Bitcoin deeply and research its price history. If you're afraid of losing the Bitcoin in your wallet you need to understand and master wallet security just like everything else. Essentially, shouldn't fear be defeated? But you don't need to view fear as an enemy. There's no need to try to overcome fear you need to practice acknowledging its presence, recognizing it, and not reacting to it. So with this awareness you will slowly embrace that fear by continuing to learn and learn.

You don't need to fear, just need to learn that. If you "fear" it, then you are not going to be great, because fear is not the right emotion to feel when you are trading or investing. I understand that bitcoin is volatile, and I understand not everyone has a lot of money when they are trading, or investing, because most people like us who do not have money so losses on paper makes us feel fear, I get that, but shouldn't.

What you should feel is impatience, as in, if it's low now, that means it will go up again, but you will have to wait for it, and waiting is boring, feel that if you want to feel anything. Of course it's not going to be easy but you can make it work if you know what you are doing.

As an investor there is two things that come into our mind either lost or gain. So when you have this in your mind it also control your mindset on what to invest. Invest what you can able to loose. Every investor is a risk taker mostly when it comes to Bitcoin that the price is not stable. We are not here to discourage anyone but to encourage us that every business is a two ways this thing. But we pray gain more.

There's no need to fear the risk of loss if we understand the potential and opportunities for each investor to lose when investing in Bitcoin. When we understand the risks, we naturally feel more confident in continuing to invest, even though each investor uses specific capital when investing in an asset with a volatile value like Bitcoin. So, don't view these risks as a barrier to your progress; they are simply options that every investor needs to understand correctly without fear.

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!

This might be old but I like to address one thing, if you're not ready for bitcointalk or having a discussion you can skip making the post, it's as simple as that.
Well to op, for you to handle success of any kind it requires a lot of features that will be seen as special to bitcoin investment but it's generally, you must do them all even more things beyond what you mentioned op.

Look for a support group or the community like this one. You'll have that talk of encouragement that it's okay if the market is dropping so fast and that volatility is being experienced by all of us. The market will swing at all times and when a new investor gets used to the movement of its price.  While we can easily say that we shouldn't apply no emotion as we invest. But that's just all talk, when you are very much affected by the market, you can't say that any longer because you're either going to panic or just let it go and from that moment, you'll get numb to these surprising ups and downs of it.

Long term investment actually beats that sensation of meeting with loss more often than win. When your investment is focused on long term perspective, your self thought of being affected by market volatility more is reduced. You’re able to manage your money well and not even think of taking profit when the investment goal is yet to be reached. Investment is better engaged into as a long term and when you use this approach, you’ll most likely meet more with better experience and a smooth journey throughout your investment.

Most people investing right now don’t invest what they can afford to lose, that’s why you see people doing crazy things like committing suicide if anything happens to their investment. If we are investing we should make use of spare money which we won’t really be using for some time. Avoid taking loan to invest in bitcoin, avoid investing all your life savings in bitcoin investment.

When you get into Bitcoin, you need to know about the risks of investing in Bitcoin before you invest. It is completely foolish for an investor to invest in Bitcoin without knowing about the risks of investing in it.

How are you going to invest in bitcoin without having proper knowledge about what you investing in? Before you make any investment, you are suppose to take your time to properly understand what you investing in. People that won’t take their time to do research about bitcoin investment are newbies that are just desperate to make money, they just follow what people say blindly.

Traders want to make daily profits, which is why they are not interested in spending time researching market research and market news, which can prevent them from taking the right trades. Since a trader is more interested in making money, they should focus more on acquiring trading skills and trading experience so that they can learn about the market and catch market trends. Traders need to spend time in the market to learn the market in order to minimize losses as much as possible. And the fear of losing money only arises when the trader does not know what he is doing and has no clear guarantee of the outcome of his trade.

Investors usually have a certain level of backup fund that they do not allow to be reduced except in an emergency. Even if the fund is depleted, there should be a system to replenish it quickly. However, if overspending continues to cause a deficit and the fund is not replenished, the situation can be more critical. If one is unable to generate sufficient income or reduce expenses, he may end up using Bitcoin holdings. It is important to have prior preparation and a system to avoid such situations. Using Bitcoin in the early stages of investment can be a big problem because the holdings are in the process of increasing. However, if there is enough or more Bitcoin, there is no need to worry much about reducing the holdings a little. Large holdings provide some more protection and it takes time to reach this stage

You're not sure about that, they're in the market daily and that's why it's more important to do research. So, they're taking their time to know what's up with the market.

What's happening with it and what are the news that might have affected it. I think that some of them are still doing the right thing of doing research.

While the majority that you've said that are not interested of it, I agree that they are a lot of them and that's why they lose although don't say it in general that all of them are.

Well, making profits every day feels a bit greedy right? since no one can guarantee your daily results. The fear of losing usually comes from using money you can’t afford to lose or from not being confident in your own strategy. It’s better to start with as little as possible if you want to minimize losses. Many new investors want to win big without taking big risks. When they lose money, they get angry at everyone, but when they’re in profit, they become very proud of it. Fear isn’t a bad thing at all it will remind us of the risks that can appear.

Chasing profits can truly lead to a downfall of the trader's depo.

He needs to only act rationally on the facts presented, not to chase his daily or weekly goal, because he can easily make mistakes in such a way..

That's right. Fear arises when you lack knowledge and are unprepared for risks. Fear is indeed human but it can be managed with knowledge emotional control, and adequate risk management. Furthermore, in trading the most important thing you must cultivate in your mind to possess the most powerful force influencing your success is your ability to control yourself.

Without self-control fear will always be present in your trading decisions. Even if you have predictive and analytical skills your results will be suboptimal. So, it's true that besides trading with small amounts of money to overcome fear you also need adequate knowledge, good self-concept and risk management skills.

I dont know about others, but me as a long term bitcoin investor, I get less fear if I stay away from the mainstream media and social media. Those things are so much full of junk and one sided news that filtering them becomes a headache. Hence I try to keep myself busy in the life outside this bitcoin domain while still having opened buying selling positions on exchanges and let them fill on their own.

This market is often full of things that we cannot physically see or understand and hence the paranoia related to them is high. To keep yourself sane, either you dont take part in trading or you learn to cut all those thoughts down.
