I doubt that anyone would commit suicide because the price of Bitcoin drops, only in the case of trading Bitcoin, where the coins are liquidated. I'm aware some investors become worried when the price drops, but incidents of suicide or medical emergencies don't happen (rare).

There is no hard measure to help subdue emotions when the market turns bearish, other than having the knowledge of both bear and bullish conditions of the market right before investing.

If you were talking about crypto traders i think most of them is still remain calm that because usually experience trader know how to take advantages from the market even when the price fall there always be the opportunity to earn profit but if you were spot trader i can understand if feel desperate that because all of your investment portfolio will turn to red following the market condition but i think being panic and cut loss is not a good solution because there is a time when the market will bounce back and i think you shouldn't believe all of the current news from social media because not all of those news are valid and i know when facing the decline prices people will be very sad because they fear to losing their money but commit suicide is too far

Those who do this are people who are not prepared for the risks, thinking that Bitcoin will always provide profits and certainly do not have a deeper understanding of Bitcoin's potential and benefits in the future, because if they understood, there would be no such incidents. We all know that Bitcoin always rises in every cycle, so all that is needed is patience while continuing to accumulate using the DCA method.

On the other hand, this mindset is shared by almost all traders, who focus only on pursuing short-term profits. When their expectations are not realized or do not come true, what happens next is stress and disappointment, without realizing that they themselves have made the situation more difficult. Another factor might be the money used for purchasing. Traders often use almost all of their funds, unlike investors, whose money management is more organized. They often use discretionary funds and understand that Bitcoin is highly volatile, so their focus is long-term, perhaps 4-10 years ahead.

On the contrary, there's been some documented cases of tragedies that occurred like during the sharp market correction that happened in '24 and '25, also between '25 and '26.

For one, the Kudo incident in '25 of Konstantin Galich alias Kostya Kudo, who was a Ukrainian crypto influencer and was found dead in Kyiv after that massive market dip in October.

https://youtu.be/bXqTIG08tPk?si=uE9z7YkMctxSoE-p

Early this year also, a medical case report documented the attempted suicide case of a 26 year old man following financial bankruptcy from Bitcoin's price drop in value.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/396684253_Cryptocurrency_Transactions_and_Attempted_Suicide_An_Emerging_Challenge_A_Case_Report?hl=en-US

These reports show the financial ruin and possibly mental health crisis that could be encountered while investing in Bitcoin, but I don't think all these incidents of mental crisis and bankruptcy is as a result of Hodling Bitcoin, instead it is from trading it and spending so much time being obsessed with the news and trends and speculation, not having enough sleep and mostly using a high leverage, which obviously means a 10–20% drop could liquidate an entire net worth instantly.

Still, this doesn't stop the value of Bitcoin nor reduce the amount of investors that amass a large or even small portion of it for future reasons, or for other noteworthy reasons, because it is digital gold and the key to unlocking financial wealth in the present and future.

Should I say it is lack of proper risks management? Basically from my POV I’d say that a real and knowledgeable investor shouldn’t be very much impacted by a sudden dip or crash in a market even though it will have some small or moderate impact but it shouldn’t be that much if he really has a good and proper risk management.

Investment isn’t some random thing anyone should just jump into and start, that’s why discipline, Emotional maturity and control, risk management and other factors should be considered before starting any type of investment or risk because the market isn’t a promiseland..they will be ups and down and an investor should be ready for both scenarios.

The measurement to consider when investing in Bitcoin to prevent the situation of suicide and more.
Is to always accept the dump since it won't last forever, check where the mistake was made, look into the opportunity that comes with it, and work on the available solution because BTC holding is for a mature mind.
An example, i want to hold a brand BTC for marketing payment, and the market is current dump. I am making a payment while i was losing money.
Things like this are what some people cant take due to their huge losses and commit suicide.

What expectation? everyone knows at this stage that the Bitcoin market is volatile so the expectation
should definitely not be that it will rise without fall.

Yes, this should be part of the expectation, but judging by the amount of dump Bitcoin has experienced in a week and Billions that's wiped out of the market cap, I believe you also don't expect it. Besides, it is a planned movement cause it happened after Binance dumped huge BTC, and they are now buying back the dip gradually.

I havent heard of anything like that but then again I dont follow any Bitcoin social media outlets
or channels.

There's a lot of news of traders/investors suddenly dying due to losses, and i believe you'll find some just with a Google search.

The market has in the past and probably currently moves in cycles which is commonly described as VOLATILITY.
It rotates around the Bitcoin Halving every 4 years [or has done in the past]

Yes, a lot of things have changed after the entry of the institutions and the creation of the Bitcoin ETF. Besides, we can agree that the whales are not the market controller now.

If they all are just rumors then no need to discuss this because it is not real but these are not just rumors, people actually have medical conditions and they can't take huge risk and when something bad happens they can't bear it and their body starts to shake and react accordingly.

For example anyone trading day and night and not sleeping is also making their health bad and if someone with heart, or bp condition is in future trading and they are taking high leverage too, then they will struggle as well because bro market is not that merciful.

One of the suicide case concerning cryptocurrency that was very viral was that of the Ukrainian crypto trader Konstantin Galich, he was found dead in his lambo... It's believed he shot himself due to liquidation of his funds due to the market crash, in October 2025. It could be one of the occurrences the OP is referring to.

People that trade or invest in bitcoin are aware that there's a bearish and bullish periods in the market, its just about their greed in trading or investing beyond what they can afford to risk losing thay causes them emotional pains turning into suicide thoughts.

[retreat]

If they understand about long-term investment, then they will not be so panicked about Bitcoin prices suddenly dropping in a short time. These people make such wrong decisions when they don't have a very good understanding of Bitcoin - they think that when Bitcoin drops it will be the end of everything, but they don't understand that while in the short term the price of Bitcoin can be very volatile, but in the long term it is more likely to be stable. So if it drops today, then if they don't sell then it won't be a permanent loss.

[Rockson1]

I think the answer to this is simple, first and foremost the major reason why investors are triggered to invest in Bitcoin is the profit it gives wether on a short or long-term, and lets not forget that many investor invested for short-term and none will be happy to see their investment depreciating but having said that, sometimes ignorance could also be the reason, some newbies do not know that Bitcoin can dip and rise in price at any time, they have not had such experience, so if they have there investment in Bitcoin and eventually Bitcoin drop as it, they will definitely feel bad but in the case of old investors, is not like that, my advise is, no one should feel bad rather we should invest more, after the rain, there comes sunshine, it might not be now but in the future.

The measure have always been there but aggressive investors have chosen another way to invest in Bitcoin some go as far as taking loan to buy and hold bitcoin and when price drop like this they don’t have any other thing to do than regret blame and do all sort of unnecessary things, if someone invest with an amount which they can easily get over with there is no time they will take there life or come online to complain seriously about a heavy dip or how Bitcoin have ruin there life, while they are busy complaining investors with perfect budget will still make good use of the opportunity.

Invest with only what you can handle if market goes side way; that have been a safety tips or measure shared to investors.

It’s always sad to accept losses, even when you don’t get involved in risky adventures like loans or credit. Especially when you check your portfolio and see the amount getting smaller and smaller, that’s when regret kicks in, why you got greedy and didn’t sell when the price was higher. Then you start waiting, thinking maybe it will grow again, but instead it falls even lower. No matter what anyone says, sadness always creeps in when you see a declining balance, even when it’s not your last money or borrowed funds.

bitcoin is a long term investment however many people who invest do so in hoping to make a profit of the money they put in. however these types of people do not do it for the long term and pull their money out when it starts to drop. in doing this they lose money which cause them depression and frustration. bitcoin investment is not for the weak simple answer is do not put money in if you are not willing to do it long term or your dont have enough to lose.

Bitcoin is a very volatile currency. Before investing in Bitcoin, the investor should not only consider the profit but also the reasons why there may be a loss in investing in Bitcoin.

Generally, all investors who try to make quick profits by investing in Bitcoin should know more about Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not a short-term investment platform. Before investing here, a long-term plan should be made. Bitcoin halving occurs every four years. Those who want to profit from investment should wait for a long time and wait for a few cycles.

Before investing in Bitcoin, the investor should also consider whether he has the money to invest. There are some investors who cannot invest and also lose money by investing for a short time. When investing in Bitcoin, one should stay away from rumors. Big investors can constantly mislead ordinary investors in the market with various predictions and negative news. Investors must be aware of that. Even if there is a big fall in the Bitcoin price, you have to keep yourself steady at that moment.

@Boldfx lol you serious with these "rumors"
it's not new dude this happens every cycle
people get emotional because they're stupid
they put in money they can't afford to lose or worse they use leverage
then bitcoin dips a bit and they get absolutely rekt
the measure is simple don't be an idiot
invest only what you're willing to see go to zero
and don't get greedy with leverage unless you know what you're doing
most of these 'traders' are just gamblers with bad risk management
the veterans just hodl and laugh at the fud
this is how the market shakes out the weak hands
no big mystery here just human nature and poor financial decisions

People do stupid things or terrible things happening to them when the unfortunate happens to them and they lose their money towards that.

Bitcoin is not the first, will it the last thing that we will hear rumors of people committing suicide, hbp, heart failure, or whatever kind from. So, when you hear rumors like this, take it as that's the way people react to issues that relates to money loss, not only on their Bitcoin investment

I don't hear those rumors, what I only see is some people causes FUD when price dumps and some Bitcoin newbies expressing their fear as a result of what people are saying concerning Bitcoin. The worst thing that most investors have done is to sell when they have lost some money because of price dump but I have not see a case of of suicide and heart failure, it's just a rumor according to you and not all rumors are true.  The right measures that can be taken to action to prevent those problems is to educate yourself properly about the risk of investing in Bitcoin, make a decision for your future action in case reverse is the case of your investment, don't wait for risk problems to hit you first before you think of solution but before you invest, think critically about all those things.

[ZAINmalik75]

Never heard of recent suicides either but why blame Bitcoin? People do it much more from gambling, bet on horse, bet on football, bet on casino. Bitcoin price drops only 10 or 20% how is that going to push people to suicide and what not?

Guys like you are pushing the rumors I guess

There have been many rumors but the last one I think was confirmed on 11th October, after the 10th October's biggest liquidation, many traders lost all of their funds and a millionaire in Ukraine lost his life as he was found dead in his Lamborghini.

He was shot dead he even sent a message to his family and that he was facing some financial crisis. Crypto made his life and he took his life because of his financial status, it was really sad and a lot of other people faced critical health problems that day because they were not prepared for such a huge dump it was a black swan event. The current situation is almost the same as it was then, but this one is slow unlike the 10th October because that was quick and caught the trader off guard.

To invest only what you can afford to lose. That's the only way for people to reduce those stress that are going to catch them whenever the market is so very volatile that no one can stop its move.

Don't also look into the charts if you're high blood pressure and you don't have to worry about it when you're long term.

Long term means that these incidents of sudden drops are normal and you'll have to survive it and don't be too emotional when it does.

These people affected mostly by the downturn of Bitcoin are not really the best of investors or traders. Trading is very much logical and the market is explicitly explained in such a way that even a beginner can take part and be very cautious. High BP, heart failure and even suicide occurring to people after a market downturn is just a sign of a person’s non-preparedness for the market. Without a proper plan and approach to the trading market, you risk affecting yourself mentally, emotionally and psychologically and this is what results to this physical problem people end up getting at the end of the day when their trading plans don’t go as planned.
