Bitcoin investing is not for the weak minded people.

[PhilosopherKing]

It is obvious that there are some investors who always want the Bitcoin market to remain bullish all the time, and hate when the market is bearish, and Bitcoin is dipping in price. These type of investors cannot withstand the pressure of bitcoin bear market, the listen to the noise on social media, and act according to what the public is saying about bitcoin.
During the bear market, the price of bitcoin do crash, and sometimes we can even experience -50% to -70% market crash, and at this point your bitcoin portfolio must have reduced drastically. However, this is the point we different the gamblers, and the real bitcoin investors, because you will see the weak bitcoin investors selling their Bitcoin asset in great loss, but the real investors will remain calm, ignore the noise, remain patient, and anticipate for Bitcoin price reversal. And finally, it is those investors who can withstand the pressure of market crash that receives the desired profit or reward.

What is your take on this?

Some person trade their Bitcoin when bear market come but that dosen't make them weak minded. You should have properly classified those who are traders and those who are investor and those who claim to be investors have weak mind and will always es t to trade because they are fearing what will happen to the market the next day.

Traders use to get profit, even investor too used to get profit. The difference is just that trading has plenty of risk, and that is why so many person keep fucking themselves up over and over again because they want to time the market and know when to sell and buy.

I don't think this has anything to do with a weak mind. Anyone with an investment mindset knows the market won't always be bullish. Those who expect constant gains are dreamers who don't understand the basic economy. Bitcoin investments just like all other economic assets experience ups and downs. In the past when the market crashed there were very severe drops, but now Bitcoin isn't affected by anything to that extent. Your investment won't lose value by 70% overnight. If you haven't gotten into futures though, that's a whole different matter. And it's not an investment, it's gambling.

What if I tell you that I survived a couple of bear markets and I'm wanting to see bitcoin's price bullishly at all times?

We can't define someone if they're weak or strong investors just because of wanting to see the bullishness of bitcoin all the time.

I wouldn't judge someone only by that because you'll never know how long they have endured the pain of the bear markets and that's why they became like that, they badly want to see bullish market always.

[Rustam Meraj]

Most casual retail buyers can not take mental pain of seeing your crypto portfolio get cut in half or more. During these giant market corrections, fear on social media is overwhelming and weak handed investors end up selling out their remaining assets at terrible loss just to keep bleeding on social media to minimum. But I think this is exactly how difference between true market cycle understanding long term investor and gambler is made. When big sales are happening big investors do not just remain calm, but they see it as great buying time. Only way to literally afford giant life changing returns when inevitable trend turnarounds do occur, is to bear that much in financial pressure without flinching.

Bitcoin is not for weak minded people, they can't face the bear market and will panic. That is normal since they don't learns more like those who invested and just buy without calculation so they gamble in Bitcoin without knowing when they sell or how long they hodl. They just tempting of the profit that many people out there saying and follow without learning what it needs. But if they can open their mind and start learning, they will see the way to invests in Bitcoin and know how to manages with the right.

I have to disagree with you on this. BITCOIN IS FOR EVERYONE, EITHER WEAK OR STRONG MINDED PEOPLE . Even if you don't have the knowledge of it, you can still buy Bitcoin. You have to note that "if no one SELL BITCOIN, there will be NOTHING TO BUY. It would be EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE "

[yhiaali3]

That's right, investing in Bitcoin is not for the weak minded people. I have been exposed to such price drops dozens of times during my long journey with Bitcoin, and each time Bitcoin came back stronger and stronger than before.

Early Bitcoin investors may have had a reason to be afraid because Bitcoin was not well known at that time. Today, however, there is no reason for these new investors to take a quick look at Bitcoin's history and they will find only one upward trend, so they have no reason to be afraid and sell at a loss.

[colinistheman]

Exactly, that is what most people failed to understand, we have various categories of bitcoin users, but in all.

Investors should regarded as the long term bitcoin holder's and not the short term holder's.

Those who speculate and trades on bitcoin market are not to be regarded as investors but rather gamblers who take advantage to predict bitcoin short term market activities.

It does not matter who you are. What matters is how much you have made and are currently making in this market.
You may be a long term investor, but if you cannot make better return than trader or speculator, the title of a true investor does not carry much meaning
In investing, profit is the most important thing. So, as long as you know what you are doing and achieve the results you expect, it does not really matter what other people call you.

During these giant market corrections, fear on social media is overwhelming and weak handed investors end up selling out their remaining assets at terrible loss just to keep bleeding on social media to minimum.

There are far more negative news on the media than there are positive news that encourages an investor to keep investing in bitcoin especially during corrections. setting a wall around yourself is what will help you stay strong regardless the negative talks that is coming around and the best way to do that is to go away from those that speaks only negative things and focus on people that are strong enough to wait through moment when correction seems far.

The mental pain is not a joke, but it is not worth it selling just because those that are probably not invested in bitcoin are saying otherwise.

That is true, but initially, if you invest and didn't study what crypto market is, then you might quit early if you didn't take the profit that you wanted. That's why Bitcoin investment is not that easy as others might have portray it in social media.

You need to learn the market, with the bull and bear market. And then you need to have patience and look for the long term. Not just a get rich quick scheme, because it is not. Those who profited millions stay in the market for at least a full cycle, that is 4 years and then delay their gratification.

[Perfectbaby]

Those who usually understand the market doesn't panic anymore again and such person has spend nearly 2 to 3 halving you wouldn't see them putting pressure when market drops but those who doesn't understand the movement of bitcoin would never allow their investment to lose any percentage in dollar, instead when they noticed that they would easily convert to stable coin just so they don't lose huge amount during their investment. But they have also forgotten that whenever the market drops, it creates a fresh opportunity for them to acquire more asset or bitcoin into their portfolio. Newbie invest are the people who are mostly found having all these characteristics, as what they expected is always for the market to remain bullish at all time without them knowing that we have two market season that surrounds the crypto space which they must incur at time goes or comes.

What is your take on this?

In the end, it's all about what you know about Bitcoin and how best you can accept its true nature, to explore it. Unfortunately, only a few understand those conditions, which is why they treat Bitcoin like regular assets that has nothing in common with its nature and community support.

[danherbias07]

It's tough to be on that side, but it's worth it when the value of Bitcoin fluctuates back upwards again.

Many new investors went in and invested because they think it's an easy way to make money, and I think they are not prepared for what is about to happen, so I don't really call them weak. It's just that they jumped in without even thinking about it first. It's being dragged by the hype, the trend, or simply from rumors, etc.

But I do believe in strong hands. Those who are not affected by price fluctuations because they truly believe that someday their invested money in Bitcoin will grow, and it will be one of the currencies that will be used widely.

Yeah, this is kinda became normal for Bitcoin since before. These most casual retail buyers are normal, especially for those new to the market. Because, for example, there are some people, especially OG, who can relate to common mistakes of newbies in the market, where it's almost their emotions that lead them to become bad investors in Bitcoin, but later on, they realized what mistakes they made and that makes them become stronger in market like Bitcoin.

[Obim34]

What is your take on this?

As an investor, if you cannot bear to see your portfolio diminish in value, don't bother about investing in Bitcoin.

Bear seasons are certainly unavoidable, for the long term investors, they already understand it is inevitable so they take it as an opportunity to buy at a cheaper price, don't be surprised that bear seasons is the most anticipated part of the market cycle. Every investor has to know what they are getting into, bear and bull season are certainly going to happen, weak hands sells off, while the dominant ones ignores the panic and continue to hold.

[EluguHcman]

What is your take on this?

All you have started on the different of the Bitcoin investors psychological behaviors is right and it is not a matter that it is because Bitcoin is still a new investment and financial system as some others will say that those investors who are controlled by the markets volatility are yet to understand the true fact of Bitcoin investment.
You can not just change the fact, the FUD is psychologically driven that only those with strong minds to resist the institution manipulations hold firmly of their assets.

Believe me, even as those that will withstand the pressure not to sell over the FOMO, there is still a bunch of worries within their minds as long they keep having the market charts on track on the regular and as many may also be fond of depending to analyse the future positions of Bitcoin by the news whether online or offline may also be psychologically absorbed.

The secret to defeat psychological challenge is to engage on the long term investment and stop keeping market price on track too regularly. Those holding for the short terms are usually the ones being that emotional troubled.

Technically the portfolio is not actually diminishing in value because one bitcoin always remains one bitcoin but rather it’s diminishing base on the fiat currency you’re pairing it with and the mostly widely used one is the USDT.

Then aside that I definitely agree with you, there is nothing like a bitcoin isn’t for the weak, as long as you wished to invest into any asset then you should have the psychology that there will be down, this is not even about bitcoin volatility or anything like that but rather about all asset because even the less volatile assets like gold experiences bearish and bullish periods too.

[Lida93]

What is your take on this?

The properties to being an investor is quite different from that of a trader who just gambles around price movements scrambling for quick time profits. The dip is not supposed to be a scary period for investors regardless of how crashing price do go down it should be viewed as an opportunity to buy cheap price today for an asset that has all the potential to double value in future. I was thinking that this should have being a common view for everyone that has being in the crypto market space and have experienced a cycle at least, which should resolve him to never get panicked by bearish market season.

Instead of converting an investment sum to stablecoins, which could be frozen by the government, it will be better to adopt a DCA pattern. DCA would help these newbies to spread the investment risks since they would buy at different prices. Another problem that newbies have is that they gather information from the wrong sources. There is so much misinformation on different news platforms. That's why it is essential to do enough research before taking decisions. 

[Asuspawer09]

It is true, in these times, a lot of investors are just like this they are mostly weak because they got into crypto because of the hype projects, I know a lot of people that only got in cryptocurrency just because they are got exposed into axie or P2E games where mostly hype they mostly got lucky to earn a good amount at the start but end up losing a huge money in the end, I think the crypto market is also just saturated with a lot of hype projects that is why a lot of newbies are mostly expose as well to this kind of project they get used to it thinking that crypto is just a huge gamble.

I mean it took me a long year as well and I think im also guilty of it when I just started investing in Bitcoin, probably all of my money are just a huge gamble into Bitcoin without having a financial foundation or some kind of saving account, mostly are sold in profit and immediately get spend into something, A lot of us are already forgetten how true investing actually works, investment are suppose to be boring, long term and safe. It wasn't some hype, it wasn't quick money, it's a long-term investment.
