This is normal, especially those who invested in the high market have now suffered huge losses. Especially those who had short-term investment plans now have no other option but to hold for the long term.
I bought some Bitcoin when it hit $95,000 in early 2026 and held it, but unfortunately the market went down and the market dropped by about $27,000. At this point, I have no plans to sell Bitcoin at a loss, so I will have to wait until the market recovers in the future.

Because a lot of people have invested, aiming to make profit and later discovered they had taken the wrong prediction or path towards the market, the holders fall shorts a little, while the trader were being affected the most, because while the market is falling, some are taking long position, asset are liquidating, fear of missing out, some selling in loss and many others.

Nothing, each person should not go for the risk on what they cant afford to bear its consequence, even on other investments, there is risk taken and we have to be more strict and well doing before we can afford to invest, because if we are not making profits, then loss is sure to come.

Lose of funds or bitcoin is the only reason I know that made people take their lives or commit suicide, just like what took place on 10/10/25
, this is why I always advice people to stay away from leverage trading.

Also getting scammed can make people do stupid things, it's not easy to lose years of hardearned money in one swipe to scammers online and that's why we are been told to go for airgapped open source wallet.

Bitcoin dropping in price is actually a blessing, only those who don't really get how bitcoin moves in every circle are going to panic, as a matter of fact there is nothing to panic about.

[demonica]

Is this for real? I haven't seen nor encounter news about something like this. If you could add news link as a supporting details to it, it would be great.

But to be honest, I think "price drop" isn't really that much for a person to end his life or do something extreme. It's normal in crypto market as bitcoin is volatile. People in this space probably and should be aware of this so why would they be in those situation when they invested in bitcoin knowing it could happen anytime? A drop in bitcoin isn't the end so I don't really understand. Unless they're in a situation like investing their last money in bitcoin then the price starts falling. But that's also their mistake for making such decision knowing it's your last money.

Yeah its sad to read those stories. That’s why risk control and mental health matter heavy in crypto. Only invest what you can afford to lose, don’t go all-in, take breaks from charts, and keep real life first. Money comes and goes, your life doesn’t.

[JollyGood]

As unfortunate as it might be, without a doubt many people take bank loans to invest in crypto therefore if they are unable to repay the loans it will cause stress and have a detrimental effect on their health. Some most probably take loans from from family and friends therefore a drop in price will only increase their anxiety.

After going through your post history I concluded the question you asked was unnecessary because the answers would be obvious. How many accounts are you operating?

This kind of price drop is not new.  Bitcoin, after it reached its ATH, always trends like this. We can see it on the price history of Bitcoin, and it even dips more than 60%.  So we might be expecting a sub $40k price per BTC.

One of the effective methods is cost averaging, you can buy more BTC at a lower price to so that your entry price will become lower.  Let us say you buy BTC at its ATH, buy the same amount at the current BTC price, your entry price will get an average of  approximately $95,927.25 instead of an entry price of $126,210.50.  Buy more when the price dips further.

There are several things you need to know. First, Bitcoin is not recommended for crypto enthusiasts seeking quick profits, especially those using derivatives/leverage; that is extremely risky. Second, Bitcoin is recommended for long-term holding, as I have never heard of anyone making significant profits in Bitcoin in a short period of time. Third, Bitcoin can be purchased or invested in by anyone, but it is not suitable for impatient people or those who can't tolerate the risk. Finally, your mindset when Bitcoin drops needs to change. Many people assume that when Bitcoin drops, they are making a loss, but that is not the case; they won't lose money until they sell.

Essentially, consider whether or not investing in Bitcoin is suitable for you. Consider the best way to invest. If you feel financially prepared (with a thorough plan), then do the invest. One additional suggestion from me: if you are a current Bitcoin holder, you should make installments, or repurchase more Bitcoin while the price is low, like it is now. If the price rises, your portfolio will grow rapidly, or you could even profit from the increase.

The despair during Bitcoin crashes stems from the myth that this asset is a guaranteed ticket to becoming "mega-rich." Another issue is that newbies are conditioned to ignore dips and just keep averaging down. But look at the reality: even a company like MicroStrategy, which has been stacking BTC for five years starting at $10K, is now facing massive unrealized losses.

When I joined the Cryptomus exchange, they were upfront about these risks and suggested a smarter approach: combining DCA with staking. By reinvesting rewards over a 4-year cycle, you can build a financial buffer that offsets up to 30% of a "crypto winter" drawdown.

But let’s be real—nothing can truly prepare you for the psychological hit. Watching 50% of your portfolio evaporate in real-time still keeps me up at night. At least we won't hit zero... hopefully!

The subsequent crying that follows the fall of Bitcoin is a reality since many consider it as savings. You should not invest money which you cannot afford to lose as Boldfx said. Know your risk level, budget both ups and downs and prioritize on the necessities of life. Bitcoin is unstable--it increases or decreases at a high rate. It should be a long-term investment, you are not supposed to make fast gains, and you should take care of your mental and financial health. By remaining prepared, there will be less panic and stress.

Feeling bad after seeing Bitcoin dumping is normal because everyone depends on Bitcoin and looks at it with hope for something better. When the price of Bitcoin dumps like this, the effect falls directly on investors. Still, we all know that ups and downs in the market are normal and part of the process. Even then, Bitcoin’s fall naturally makes people feel discouraged. Right now, the price is dumping in a way that is making the overall market condition look very bad. However, we should not break down mentally, because Bitcoin will surely move towards recovery again.

[Reid]

This only happens to those who are in a rush to reap the rewards. Actually, they had their chance to make money but because they are greedy to want more, it lead to frustration and regrets of not pushing the exchange button.

Then, they are forgetting the fact that it is "Bitcoin". We had seen many ups and down and when we look back, it only started with cents of a dollar. Imagine that. Then try to look at it's value of it one more time. It's all good, it's still at it's peak. All it needs is more investors buying power.
I highly doubt traders are hurting. If they know what they are doing, they should still be making money. Those who buy and never sell at it's all time high are the ones feeling the damage. Well, if they are real holders, their ally is time.

But anyway, you think people learn lessons from others but they don't. I blame the way the world makes trading look so attractive and easy when its anything the opposite of that.

Please guys, understand this and switch to hodling.

Yeah, it's a shiny wrap up of a thing that leaves most with red lines and some, as you said - a fate worse than that.

People just crave the green lights - they see them as signals to do the same, but with no analysis behind it, they may arive at the same destination the others failed at..

I can say a hundred bad things about it, but all I need to remind people is that trading is not for most people, and that means in all probability its not for you.

Don't sink your life into it, just keep DCAing.

I mean look at the massive drops these 2 or 3 days. So many tears and red lines. But if you're into DCA, you would be quite happy. Enjoy the good life, just stack and hodl.

Even if not happy - but at least not nervous or anxious due to it.

Just calm and steady

The sad thing is that people who buy at the top (no idea why they would buy at the peak) do not realize that they can recover when it goes down. Like from 125k at peak to we went to 70k and lower, that is a huge drop, but you could have made some adjustments during that period. Like for example if you sold at the top, you could have bought nearly double the amount now. Or if you sold even at 100k and bought at 70k that is still a profit.

Basically it's never that easy and people always feel sad when there are so many things you can do. Drops in the price are not the end of the world and if you are investing with money you need it urgently then it was your mistake to start like that to begin with, you should have invested with money you are free to wait.

Drop in price are not the end of world this statement of yours really catch my attention and to be honest there is a lot of truth in that statement but you know what all what they could see is or be feeling is negativity because if only it can be realized that a drop is not the end of the road then every drops becomes a big opportunity to buy more, taken decision in one direction that it could be the end of the road without also having the second thought that it is more likely not to be the end of the road considering it is bitcoin not just any other coin out there is bad, after the drop what comes next is uptrend, it has been happening and it will keep happening.

Situation like this will always appen because we normally have people who invest in bitcoin without having understanding.  We have desperate and greedy investors who wants to make it very fast in bitcoin and in times like this it will be very difficult for people like this to be calm because they font have the real understanding of bitcoin. That is why it is advisable to have a good understanding in bitcoin because in time like this you don't need to be panic because their is no reason to be.
