How our mindset plays a big role in Bitcoin investment

[Xackie]

In Bitcoin investments we know that DCA, proper planning and basic knowledge is important, but what we don't talk more about is having the right mindset. Because the way we think and react to the market also determines if we will be truly profitable in the long run. Bitcoin is very volatile so the market will always move up and down,  it is our  mindset that  determines whether we stay calm or make rushed decisions. you might have the best strategy or plan but if you are person who allows emotions to over ride them then everything they plan, knowledge they have will be useless.

Many people lose not because they lack knowledge, but because they can’t control emotions like fear or greed. This made me remember one of my friends who stopped investing in Bitcoin a time ago at first, everything was going well, so around that time Bitcoin price drop, emotions allowed to sell his Bitcoin, because he was scared that he was going to lose more.  Later, the market recovered and even grew higher, but he had already missed the opportunity, so regret made him to give up.  That’s why mindset is not just something extra, it actually plays a big role in helping someone stay calm, stick to a plan, and think clearly.

Bitcoin investment is all about the mindset you have to have a mindset which has to allow you to be in a balanced state. No matter what happens this is because Bitcoin investment plays with your emotions this is reflected in the way that different individuals will react to the market, when ever there is a price correction or the price of Bitcoin is unstable just like we are experiencing now.


There is great need to always train our mind not to be shaken by any market dip which will happen. Alot of people has sold their Bitcoin in Panic because of the simple fact that their mindset were wrong so  at the slightest opportunity they rushed and sell and only regret when they see the price of Bitcoin bouncing back after a while.

OP it just so unfortunate to see a lot of new members come into bitcoin investment and have a bad experience of such investment but to be honest it always their fault.
 Before one should go into something proper research and understanding is needed not especially when it deals with finance. Many new users come into bitcoin investment without really understanding the process of it, bitcoin investment is about mindset, patience and strategy. If we have the right strategy and also understands how bitcoin pair works then we wouldn’t be moved by any market manipulation because at first we are supposed to understand that bitcoin is a volatile pair and it prices moves and changes unannounced so having strategy and plans helps us to stay emotionally guided even during the dips.

 And DCA coming into the picture has made things much more interesting and easier. We can buy at any time with little we have and won’t be moved by market price.

When it comes to Bitcoin, investment mindset is everything. The mindset that one has is based on ignorance or a real understanding of what Bitcoin investment is all about. If you claim you understand Bitcoin and do not have a fundamental understanding of it, it means you don’t truly understand Bitcoin and have a poor mindset about it. In Bitcoin, it is either you understand it or you do not understand it. It is impossible for one to claim to understand something while having the wrong mindset about Bitcoin.

The right mindset is not just about Bitcoin as an investment but also understanding Bitcoin as a long-term investment that is volatile and requires one to be patient and to set aside greed. It is important to know that Bitcoin does not automatically make one rich, and it is an investment that one can accumulate through investing. You don’t need to save up but should invest with what you can afford. This is the core mindset of Bitcoin; if you are only interested in Bitcoin as a valuable asset and lack the ethics of investing in it, then it means you don’t have the Bitcoin mindset.

One thing about stating invested is that you have to know what you want and stay glued to it without opting out even when you see people doing so. As long as you're investing in bitcoin, popular opinion doesn't matter at all. What matters is what you believe in and how that you're ready to follow it up to the latter.

When bitcoin price goes down, everyone feels almost same way and there's always this discouragement as to wether one should rush into selling his bitcoin or not. The investor that will eventually profit at the end is the one that have decided that his sell decision is not going to be a function of short term market reaction but rather that it's going to depend on the plan he has which will keep him completely invested regardless of whatever shortcomings he might have faced.

The mindset in bitcoin is the real support and when price dey shake na only calm mind go stop you from selling when you dey panic and also rush into it because of the hype. You can understand it and also have the knowledge with planning but if you're being controlled but fear or greed that's when everything will fall out of place. You see Bitcoin always rewards those that are patient and not the ones that rushed into it. The best way is to stay calm follow your plans and ignore hype

[justinlamode]

To enjoy investing in Bitcoin, simply set your mind to long term investment and avoid monitoring the price because the price will make you doubt Bitcoin if you are too glued to it. This is why I agree with you that the DCA method is a wonderful strategy since it does not consider the price and by its implementation,  it favours long term investment more than short term. In other words, anyone using the DCA method think more of buying than selling.

[Donneski]

Having read the content of your topic, I understand the point you're tryna make but I think it's also important to add that discipline is what really shapes that mindset over time. When you already set a clear rule like sticking to DCA or not panic selling and stick to it, it becomes easier to stay calm when the market drops. Like you rightly said, many people in the market who lose money don't actually lack knowledge, they just don't stick to their plans when emotions kick in. Just like in the case of your friend, he allowed fear to get the better of him because there wasn't enough discipline to hold through the dip.

Yeah i agree with you, investment doesn't need double mind because there people who always have this spirit of discouragement and such people hardly make profits on investment that the price isn't constant some people forgot that investment on bitcoin need patience, Just imagine the price of Bitcoin today compared to years back those who where patience enough knew where they are right now.

Mindset is an integral part of investing, the main reason for not mentioning it during advice is invisibility. When starting an investment, we give importance to prudent money, basic knowledge and the ability to implement long-term plans and ideas. Basically, between basic knowledge and long-term plans, there is a mention of emotion control.

When a person has basic knowledge about Bitcoin and investment, he is aware that he has to be patient and free from short-term temptations. Even advising to be long-term means being free from temptations and panic in positive and negative times of the market and being successful in long-term plans. Emotions cannot have much of a negative effect in investing, we only have to be brave during market declines and protect ourselves from the temptation of short-term profits during the rise. Even if we are consistent in gaining knowledge, emotion control becomes very easy.

Right you are. A lot of people has relevant knowledge and may actually plan on holding for the long run. But with the wrong mindset, such an individual could be swayed by his emotions and may end up taking a not so wise decision that would then affect his investments. Knowing and fully understanding how volatile bitcoin can be can help manage your emotions. We should understand that the prices tend to rise and fall, so when putting that into consideration, we wouldn't get emotional when the price fluctuates and hurriedly go on to sell out your investments.
With any investment, a calm and steady head is required.

Anyone who is interested in holding bitcoin for long term has to have the right mindset like making policy for their investment so they can't wake up any morning and do whatever they feel like doing at that moment. If anyone must invest in bitcoin then they must understand that dips over the years are temporary movement meanwhile bitcoin main direction has been on the uptrend however dips will surely come but then the bull season always finds a way to diminish the effect of those dip causing bitcoin to surge higher in price. Some people like to say, invest in bitcoin and forget about it. The truth is that you can't forget your money just like that but you can pretend you don't have a bitcoin investment and that might help a little bit with not interfering with your holding target.

I will love to know what you mean by a not so wise decision. This investment journey is demanding and one needs to get knowledge on every angle on how well to deal with the market. My curiosity is just on that phrase and what it really uncovers for bitcoin investors so one can get the best out of the market. Staying calm is a thing I assume experienced investors should get used to already except for those joining the train newly who are yet to experience their first bull run.

Bitcoin investors should know that long term investment is what gives guarantee profits results in the long run, most times newbies don't build that understanding and knowledge around Bitcoin, all they do is to get capital, buy bitcoin without checking the market position and price at that time before buying, and still expect to get a quick positive result from the market.

Giving short time expectations to your bitcoin investment is a quick way to end in loses.

To survive on bitcoin market both as a trader or an investors, you must develop thick skin to withstand any market conditions, that is what will keep you sustained until you reach your desired profits position.

It actually takes one with a positive mind set  about Bitcoin to actually invest in Bitcoin because for you to be able to convince someone to invest in Bitcoin it means that you have to show prove and reasons why he or she should invest in Bitcoin. Sometimes it is this mindset of people being scammed of the resources that has scared some persons from actually investing in Bitcoin so if there can be clarity then I can guarantee that a lot of persons who doesn't want anything that has to do with Bitcoin investment can actually thread the path and then invest.

[Shadiq]

An unstable mindset is not effective in investing, rather, an unstable mindset can cause you great losses. The best way to get the most out of Bitcoin investment is to be long-term in investing and prepare a long-term mindset. If your mindset also becomes unstable with the volatility of the market and you decide to sell out of fear or temptation, then you may be missing out on a big opportunity that could have changed your life. A stable mindset is very necessary in investing.

The right knowledge reduces and even destroys fear. Every investor should read about the Bitcoin cycle. There will always be a bear and bull season. FUD and FOMO will always surface. Knowing how to deal with these two concepts is important. Don't allow any news or predictions to make you sell your coins below the cost price. Don't also be too greedy not to sell when you have made a good profit. It is ideal to have a plan that will guide your buying, hodling and selling process.

Except there is a serious emergency, nothing will make me sell my coins before FUD.  I prefer to keep my coins for another circle rather than sell them at a loss.

If we dey talk about mindset enh, e go dey be like say na one big thing wey go hard person to grab, nothing really be the thing, na just say make you put your mind, once you start the Bitcoin investment, pit your mind and body join, no com do am like say you dey fear or you dey rush, take time dey observe am and run am like say na business wey go give u levels for future, no allow any moves for d market make u come dey jump jump because u no go later like d result if u rush.no do am sake of say because u see person dey do am, make u sef get your own personal reason why u wan do am, make e no come be like na person make u do am, dat way u go fit do am well and e go pay.

Bitcoin no dey make person get money quick quick and na so almost all investment dem be, so fes put your mind like dat say no be something wey you dey hurry, na something wey be say you wan dey build and small small u sef go smile, if u carry dis kain mind enter am enh, u go see say na once e go clear for u and u no go dey under any form of pressure.

[Solodoski]

Mindset take you to the biggest stage in life. You know why? It is because mindset build confidence, confidence build perseverance and perseverance lead you to success. It is not only in bitcoin investment you need a strong mindset. In all you, learn to have a good mindset if you want to be successful in it. The most successful business owners in the world today had a strong mindset to do the impossible. Things human never expected can be possible became possible. However, it is easy to preach about mindset when many people in years to come will not develop a strong mindset.
