The fluctuation in bitcoin price and its effects on traders and new user.

[Rustam Meraj]

I am happy to see you become not new user but new viewer because later concentrating on learning capital and not only on quick money is exactly what good big investors do. Studies into current market show that small traders usually get scared and sell when prices fall and this tim big traders or groups actually use such chance to math wise level their holdings or even purchase more and at lower price and they think of price swings like chance to grow other than they take this as reason to worry.
You are playing clever mind game, by deciding to think of Bitcoin as lifting hand to your future by keeping your own goal at five years, when everyone around is worrying about next five days. This way of thinking makes stock market highs and lows just background music that you can continue to listen to as you slowly collect wealth by tools such as DCA, which removes part of guessing by investing certain amount of money at set time steps.

Don't believe promises of quick, high, easy profits; don't give your money to "gurus" to manage; and do a lot of research, read, and stay informed. This way, you can avoid significant losses, both financial and emotional.

So many new users entrust their investment decisions to so-called "gurus," but it's a mistake to trust others with their personal financial decisions. Many of these "gurus" are simply seeking attention, commissions, and selling their online courses to make more money.

As a new user, it's important to understand the risks and not be easily swayed by what others say. Build your own understanding and think more rationally. This way, you can avoid FOMO and being fooled by false promises or get-rich-quick schemes that are often advertised.

When you talk about those who hold trillions, I assume you are talking about those who hold trillions. I assume you mean trillions in local currency and not USD, because that's a large sum that I don't see any single individual or company holding in crypto.

The price of Bitcoin this period is less volatile than it used to be in the past. Anyone coming to the space now is more at an advantage than many since you have enough educational resources to prepare you more than when there was no history to look back to and learn from.

Traders are free to be scared of price fluctuations, while an investor does not need to.

I have tried trading, and I have tried investing. I simply recommend investment. Trading is not for the weak. You need to have a business that supplies you with a steady cash flow to cover those losses. If you live off pay check and a salary, trading is not for you, no matter how good you think you are at trading. Investment, on the other hand, keeps your mind at peace. Especially when you use a strategy that reduces risk in your investment.

This is so true and so sad to see newbies fall for them. Influencers, gurus and many others keep on trying to scam these newbies and they end up with actually getting some people to pay them to tell things they made up. Reality is that, all the things you need to learn in order to be a good trader is already free and online, if you find them and use them and learn then you can be a good trader yourself. Studying and experience will make you a great trader who doesn't need anyone else to make money.

Unfortunately not everyone does the same thing, some people lose because they want to get rich quick and using influencers to do that is looking easy to them, so they do it and eventually realize they made a mistake.

Secondly following the news thread on how several investors are being challenged in different ways due to the crashing of the bitcoin market price, me being a new user and at all point I'm on my list checking how much have dropped or how much has added makes me wonder sometimes about those who have trillions what will they be doing currently, it depends to me I see bitcoin as a lifting hand in the nearest future so the rising and falling isn't really affecting my mental health since all I'm doing right now is saving for the future, I'll love to know your say on this.

Those trillionaire who believe in Bitcoin, they will keep add bitcoin to their bag whenever it is. They don't really care whether it's pump or dump. Their target is to holding it for long term, not for short term. However, it's kinda different with smart traders who is always leaving when it's pumping, then entering when it's dumping. Any parties have their own Bitcoin strategic plan. So we can't really generalize all parties used the same pattern.

That's true, because trading isn't suitable for everyone, although anyone can do it as long as they have a certain amount of capital to invest. However, if some people aren't prepared to take losses, that's where trading isn't suitable for them. However, for investments that are carried out gradually over a period of time, clearly anyone can participate as long as they have sufficient capital and patience to accumulate assets and wait for price increases after purchasing the best coins, one of which is Bitcoin. So, I think your advice on this matter is very appropriate, because trading is actually much riskier than investing, even though investing also has risks.

At this point if I wasn't a user already, I won't experience this current stage of rising and falling of bitcoin price  as a New user, at this point where big traders,investors and of course the general crypto market are loosing big because of the fluctuation, New users like myself use this time to understand how much impact can be made in every users life both positive and negative as far as the bitcoin market is concerned.

Fluctuations in the price of bitcoin are actually normal. Various types of investment instruments also experience this. I personally think that this is a healthy condition because there is a lot of trading activity influenced by buying and even selling, where some of them speculate to take advantage of the profit from the difference in the movement of bitcoin prices. It would actually be strange if Bitcoin had a stable price. I personally consider those who do this to be short-term traders. And people who prefer to hold Bitcoin for the long term are long-term traders. You need to realize that the price of Bitcoin has the potential to rise and even skyrocket in the long term. For long-term holders they have the potential to be a financial savior in the future. And that should make you even more confident that Bitcoin price fluctuations won't affect your mindset. You just need to focus on saving for the future. So I personally think what you're doing is very smart. You just need to be consistent in holding onto your Bitcoin. And you'll be lucky in the future.

The falling  and rising in the price is what makes trading possible in the first place. If the price Is to be constant, how do you expect to make profit. Investors who you feel at scared if putting in millions and billions are in fact the ones who pump money into it .. they are the ones that move the market, they .ake it go down or go up. Most of them deliberately make such move to take out other people so that they will make more profit because the money you lose in the market is being used to pay someone else.
The volatility of Bitcoin is what makes it very ideal for investment. Crashes ares inevitable they will always happen but the main thing I that the price is trending up overall .. if you are familiar with charts and market structure, when you go to the weekly or monthly time frame , you'll see that as much as Bitcoin crashes it's overall direction is still upward. That is why you are adviced to invest and forget allow price do it thing ...

[Livingleged]

Investment in bitcoin is subject to individual capacity. Wonder how people using such outrageous amounts to invest in bitcoin i guess. That amount you think its not too wise to invest in bitcoin with is nothing compared to What Dey have in savings so I always look at it as a kind of individual strength.

Every investor in the industry uses the funds that he/she can actually afford to lose so what ever that happens in the long run will not really affect their life’s. Bitcoin investment has always been been very much profitable for those who have the mind to hold for long, but is you panic my any slight shake you definitely complain that your not making any profit but rather loosing.

As you have said, you're not a newbie anymore, so why are you affected by the price fluctuations wherein it is one of Bitcoin it's nature? You will be affected if you are a so called speculator or trader itself, wherein every price changes will affect you because you are trying to squeeze profits in short time frame. But for long term holders and accumulating Bitcoin thru DCA? It doesn't concern them at all. As for the trillions that you are saying, it might be all the market itself. So again, it's a battle between buyers and sellers and at the end of the time, all of them are not bothered by the swing price, if you can take advantage of it then good, if not then there's nothing wrong by holding it long term.

Choice to think of ups and downs of prices of Bitcoin as sign of busy market is smart choice that would separate those who save money in long term and those who are stressed out due to their deals. Such swings just show that large number of people are buying and selling, and this helps market to find out real worth of Bitcoin in the future as it becomes world thing to own.
By thinking of Bitcoin as savings account over long term and not as gamble, you protect yourself against feelings of falling prices every day and do not make same mistake of selling when price is low. So, it is best to stay steady and get good results of Bitcoin rise, and history tells us that people who wait out jumps are in end the ones that get highest prizes.

The market is lively so it naturally has ups and downs. With Bitcoin market that is a biggest one in cryptocurrency, it is a most lively market than altcoin markets so if you use price ups and downs as your indicator for a busy or not busy market, it's bad choice.

Trading orders can be set by bots, and they can be removed any time while filled trading orders don't actually show true demand of buying or selling. It can be from both true demands and market manipulations that need to exist in a live market, not a boring and dead market without orders, tradings and movements.

By thinking of Bitcoin as savings account over long term and not as gamble, you protect yourself against feelings of falling prices every day and do not make same mistake of selling when price is low. So, it is best to stay steady and get good results of Bitcoin rise, and history tells us that people who wait out jumps are in end the ones that get highest prizes.

Invest your money in Bitcoin is safer than trading and it's the best way to achieve both biggest purposes: securing your initial capital, and getting profit with time.

Trading can bring losses especially with more risky trading types like margin and futures but with investment, if you buy bitcoin with your own money, and hold your coin in some years, profit is like very guaranted

[Mate2237]

Op from what I can make of your thread is that new comers to the crypto market should use this period were the of price fluctuations to learn and understand how the Bitcoin market works which I will agree with you. For anyone to successfully invest in Bitcoin suc a person must first of all learn the dynamics that surrounds the Bitcoin market because understanding is key and very important as it will shape your orientation about Bitcoin and investing in it with the intents of making money from it.


One thing that you have to learn too is that the best time to acquire Bitcoin is this time where there's a fluctuations in price. It's this price fluctuations that brings about a correction in the Bitcoin market in terms of the price.

Big or small investors, if investors use a bad strategy, are not disciplined in practice, they will not get profit. Depending on their capital sizes, their losses would be smaller and it's not impossible to see banks with bankruptcy or some institutional investors in cryptocurrency market bankrupted like FTX, Three Arrows Capital, Voyager Capital, and more.

Big and small investors can have same ROI for their investment if they can invest in a same way, but a little bit differences in their ROIs can appear if institutional investors have too big capital and need a longer time for accumulation and withdrawal. Small investors with smaller capital can quickly enter and exit, that is one of their advantages but they're not market makers in this market.

Totally right, having a good solid plans helps them to be more strategic in their investment and also, having the basic knowledge of invest in Bitcoin will help one to understand the importance of self discipline and its role on it because it will help and guide you through the journey and prevent you from making decisions based on emotions.
That is why, it doesn't matter how far or how long one is into investment but how well one is doing because if one is doing well, that is profiting from it despite its volatility, will motivate them to keep on accumulating or investing without any fear attached to it.

The effect of the bitcoin price fluctuation is felt mostly by traders who are concerned about making a quick profit in bitcoin as they don’t have patience while investing in bitcoin. Most traders will go as far as waiting for long time until a dip occurs before they can buy bitcoin at a more reduced price so that they can sell immediately the price goes up again, but the funny thing again is that they don’t usually get lucky all the time because the market keeps crashing on them even after buying in such reduced price, the market keeps going down as a result of bitcoin price fluctuations. Most of them end up selling at a huge loss due to this reasons,  The effect is greatly felt by traders.

~snip~, it depends to me I see bitcoin as a lifting hand in the nearest future so the rising and falling isn't really affecting my mental health since all I'm doing right now is saving for the future, I'll love to know your say on this.

Saving Bitcoin is not a wrong thing to do, but many people enter the market believing it will quickly make them rich. In reality, each market cycle shows that Bitcoin ROI is not as high as it was in the early years. As the market matures, the gains become smaller compared to the past and expectations need to be more realistic. Many holders also struggle to enjoying HODL Bitcoin. The price fluctuates heavily and these constant up and down often turn investors into “weak hands,” causing them to sell out of fear. On top of that, FUD spread rapidly across the internet, especially during bear market. This psychological pressure makes holding Bitcoin for the long term very challenging and waiting patiently is far from easy. However, when doubt starts to take over, it helps to step back and look at the bigger picture. Despite all the volatility, Bitcoin has continued to rise over the years and has repeatedly recovered after every major crash. Those who understand this long term trend and can control their emotions are more likely to benefit from saving/buying Bitcoin over time.

You are very correct, trading is not for everybody, you need to be a professional and have the mind to take risks because trading is a risky business which you don't need to rely on as a sole source of income. On the other hand investment is for everybody, inasmuch as you are earning money and have discretionary funds you can be an investor. An investor doesn't need to be monitoring the market because they don't have plans to sell on the short term, what matters to them is they will make many turnover profits after some circles have passed. If you want peace of mind in cryptocurrency don't trade and don't invest in memecoins, do DCA method to accumulate Bitcoin for a very long time.

Veterans will not be getting phased by any of these movements and it can be 150k tomorrow morning when I wake up or 40k when I wake up and both would be the same situation for me. Because I have seen it be a bull run and bear run and both were quite good for me and I did not cared before so why should I start caring about it now?

I have seen it way too many times to care and because of that I will not care about it if it happens again, I will see this as something that is quite normal and something I am used to. Whereas a newbie would not be used to it yet, and they will think that it's going to matter a lot more, and this is why we are going to end up with something that will take some time for them to get used to.

The effect of fluctuation in Bitcoin price to traders and new users varies depending on how they react to the volatility of Bitcoin.  Most traders take advantage of the fluctuation and take profit on it.  While new users, especially those who get in without thoroughly studying the Bitcoin market trend, often panic when they see the price of BTC dropping and FOMO when the price of BTC surges.

So the volatility of Bitcoin makes a person either lose funds or gain funds, depending on their reaction.  So it is best to know what we are doing before jumping into any investment so that we can avoid panic selling or FOMOing that can cost us our funds.
