Stop giving attention to the current price. Stay focused holding on.

[Marykeller]

As humans, we really are; wherever our money is, that is where our mind and attention will be. It can't be that we invest in Bitcoin for long term; we won't listen to news and happenings about it again. We will, from time to time, want to know what the price of Bitcoin is, whether it is the time to buy the dip or sell at the high side

Remember, it's from news and happenings around Bitcoin that we find out about the Coldcard vulnerabilities that hackers made away with millions of dollars. Imagine a long-term investor who doesn't want to care about the news and price fluctuations of Bitcoin, and they have their Bitcoin stored on Coldcard. What will be their fate?

Bitcoin has been rewarding long time investor so the goal should be accumulating Bitcoin and holding it for long, the price of Bitcoin now will be a discouraged to traders who thinks that by now the price of Bitcoin would have been up more so they sell and get some small profit this is why aiming for a short time gain which is gambling is too risky. Bitcoin is currently at it Dip which has given investors the opportunity to accumulate more Bitcoin in a lower price and hold for many years, let's keep accumulating Bitcoin and hold the Dip isn't a new thing in this journey Bitcoin is volatile so definitely the price will soon start getting up.

Just wondering how a long term investor will give attention to current price when it comes to their investment decision making, instead of worrying about the current price in a negative way they will all have to be positive about it by buying as much as they can, is possible that bitcoin could go up and may likely not come down to this price we are seeing for a very long time or for ever again, good thing to know and always have in mind is that Bitcoin is best in the long term and why it is a wrong choice to invest now and expect it to perform magic in the short term, definitely Bitcoin will move up and down,  staying focused until you achieve your target is the best thing to do than given attention to current price in such a negative way.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Short term holders are investors that doesn't want to hold for the long term, although some of them knows what they are doing and they have targets on their investment too(they know when to sell and when not to), while some don't know what they are doing, they quickly sell when price starts to go down below the price they bought. So, you also have to know that it's not every short term holders that lacks the concrete knowledge of Bitcoin and how to hold for the long term, they just do not want to hold for a very long time and to tell you that they know what they are doing, they won't sell if price falls below the bought price.

For someone who actually have the intention to hold Bitcoin for a long term but is having the inability to do so because of fear, they probably don't have enough knowledge of Bitcoin or have invested with the amount that they can not afford to hold for a long term. To be able to hold for long term, one must be knowledgeable and also invest the amount they can hold for a long term.

[Solodoski]

I know that one of the best way to profit from bitcoin investment is to accumulate and hold it for a long time, so I don't think this kind of investor bother about the price of bitcoin,  wether it's high or it drops, the most important thing is to keep accumulating and hold for a long term. I know that some investors are so concerned about the price of bitcoin and they might be forced to sell, because of fear of losing their investment,  but I think they are wrong. The right thing to so right now is to accumulate more now that their is a dip in price and keep holding for the long term,  which will definitely be of benefit to the investor in a long-term.

[Ndabagi01]

I want to conclude by saying that, those who gives attention to the current price are likely to taking decisions that will make them to regret their decisions. We should remove our minds from the fluctuations in price that we are seeing.

It is very difficult to get our eyes off the market as investors, only few investors will not really mind about the price of bitcoin and keeps accumulating and holding on to their positions. This is not because they don’t want to hold but because it is more of a human psychological thinking to always react to changes like this in the market when money is involved and can affect their investments. This is a psychological thing and they are the very ones that are hard to actually control yourself from. Not taking a stance is also not a bad one but we should always make sure that we stay at the profitable end no matter how we decide to react to changes like this in the market.

[alastantiger]

Basically, everyone's goals will be different. If you just want to hold for the long term, you can buy and forget about what happens in the market. But some people also take short-term profits from volatile market movements. Of course, short-term movements can affect inexperienced long-term holders. But those who are strong enough in their investment plan, I guess they won't be affected at all.

Every investor investing into Bitcoin should already have their timeframe that they are planning towards hence when they take profits, it should not bother us because they would have been planning for this since. It is the ones that do not have a plan but allow the market to control them that this message should be for because they are allowing the market to make them escape goats. Before investing, always have a plan and do not follow any other plans that was not the initial one you have in mind then the market will not see the opportunity to make a fool out of you.

[knuckey]

The lowest point of investors is panic, not a few investors feel doubtful when they look away from the price, bitcoin has provided valuable lessons in the past until now no one will lose as long as they believe and continue to save it, and that is still proven until now, indeed seeing the price blinds our emotions to rise and creates a desire to sell, this is the challenge for investors to survive during the storm, and the winner will be the one who survives, watching the price continuously will have an impact, the best way to survive is simply not counting losses & as explained by OP, not looking at the price will make it easier and make the heart relieved to save and buy bitcoin continuously

[ingiltere]

The price is staying right where it is, it's not going anywhere. Whenever I check Bitcoin, it's either at $62k, $64k or $65k. For the past month it hasn't dropped below $60k or risen above $65k. This kind of stability doesn't last forever, so enjoy it while you can. During periods of rapid ups and downs, you have to keep a close eye on it. Right now you have the chance to take a break without worrying about whether the Bitcoin price has gone up or down. Look at it from this perspective too.

[EluguHcman]

One thing that I have learned is that short term holders are moved and driven by News, Emotions, speculations.These sets of investors Panic alot when ever there is a slight change in the market.The price of Bitcoin has not been stable and with news about strategy once again planing to sell again part of their holdings we are expecting to see a drop in price.Going through this board I see alot of comments some even trying to blame strategy for their move.

i call this kind of enthusiasts comedian. They trades in the market while ties their emotions with the auctions of others.
So they are not only manipulated as volatility may do but also by news.
Well, I am not surprised with such traders exhibitions because if you must safe your risks as short term holders, you must be  attentive to keep up market updates but, be sure that any news in Bitcoin market that has not been recorded in the Blockchain is Speculations.

So I hope those victims blaming Strategies over their personal action had also learn what truly Decentralized network is and the effects on holding in the shirt term is much riskier and then plan to hold better in the long term and get free from trading your emotions over short term volatility and news.

Traders don't like when the market is moving below because they may lose their money while in the trade. Most times they panic when the market isn't moving as planned so they sell quickly to minimise their loss. But Unlike for a trader,the dip is a good opportunity for an investor to buy bitcoin because he will stacking at a lower price. So the current market conditions isn't favourable for traders that's because if they sell now that the price is dipping, they won't make good profits. But this is not so with an investor because the market is still good for them to buy and since there are investing for the long-term, they will be in good profits when the price of bitcoin start to pump back.

Yes, that's reasonable speculation when we focus and aim at investing in Bitcoin long term, in fact there have been several halving experiences that have occurred, going down and up is what is called the market.

I once saw a friend during the Bitcoin Halving in 2020, when the halving occurred in May, because my friend panicked that the Bitcoin price would fall before the halving occurred, so he didn't maintain he sold all his Bitcoin assets, After a few months, to be exact, May 2020, the price went up, up and up, my friend didn't have time to buy any more, so that's when the regret came.

Likewise now, I still maintain, no matter the current prices and no matter the confusing speculation, I remain firm and determined.

The price has to go up, but traders foolishly do not like the price to go down, but this is the point where they can make a good profit again by reinvesting. Traders think that they have invested once, now the price should go up from the top and this is very wrong. The Bitcoin market carries everything, it does not fool people, it is an official asset that goes up and down affected by the news of the world. This is why some people are afraid to see the low price of Bitcoin, now they will suffer a loss, while it is not a loss, it gives an opportunity once and even if you are not patient, the market really takes people like you out. Those who think that they have to take profit and they are not afraid, then they will comfortably invest more capital and earn profit, but those who have gone out now will also regret seeing the high price and will invest again at a high price to make a loss.

What do we expect from them, I mean traders?, nothing more if not panicking and pressure, feeling like they are losing. Of course, since there target is making short time gains, selling when it's a bit high and making profits, we should know that they will always panic when it seems that the price is dripping, at least, even a little below there entry point becomes an issue for them. But I believe this is different from when investors, they have a total different mindset altogether. So, to a very large extent, your mindset matters alot. Those who came in with an investment mindset wouldn't allow little shifts and/or corrections in price become a big problem for them, while for a pure trader, such adjustment in price is a serious issue for them. It all depends on your mindset and plan.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Putting too much concentration on how the market appears volatile can be discouraging to us, and we may also take a wrong move because of fear of missing out, which has cost a lot of people, we should also at this moment try as much as possible to do away with some event of breaking news that could be discouraged in especially when the market plummet, because many will use that to create fear in the minds of others as a result of the market fall, which could trigger for selling at loss by the ksr who couldn't afford to continue holding.

[Callido]

Depending on the kind of trading, some traders profit from price falls, not only when the price of the coin is going up. Traders profit from the little margins as soon as the price shifts, and big fluctuations often impact their trades either on the profit side or on the losing.

As long as you are not a trader, short price movements should be of no concern. Always invest with objectives, the plan should be to sell when the market is making a new ATH, and not when the price crashes, good investors refuse to panic sell.

We often see situations like that with people who are new to investing. They have knowledge but not experience. Meanwhile, what really influences people in making decisions is the calm thinking that comes from experience. Of course, there are also beginners who are serious about this. They study everything and calculate every step they take. But of course, people like that don’t get into the market because of other people’s influence.

[tabas]

I want to conclude by saying that, those who gives attention to the current price are likely to taking decisions that will make them to regret their decisions. We should remove our minds from the fluctuations in price that we are seeing.

IMHO, it's hard to remove for people who's got that mindset. The fluctuations that we get is what gives them excitement in monitoring the price of bitcoin. But eventually, they'll be so emotional and they'll forget about the long term plans that they have. And so, as they give full attention to the price in a daily basis, that brings anxiety to them. I agree to what OP said that people shouldn't be too cautious with the price if they have long term goals for holding bitcoin. Although you can't please everyone and those with weak hands and hearts will always be there and we're not mocking or pushing them away, just giving a reminder.

[Leahized]

If you plan everything for the long term, volatile markets will never affect your investments. Because for those who fear the ups and downs of the market, it is not an investment. And he can never proceed profitably. Everyone speculation imagination about Bitcoin is and always will be. So it is better to use DCA during recession without being restless and depressed. By doing this, bad situations can be easily dealt with and avoid confusion.

That's true offcourse, what were you expecting from short time gamblers that is just in to take quick profits and walked out at every giving opportunity. Those set of people's are never an investor away, I usually call them the fair season investors because they are likely driven by the atmosphere of things, their is no sense of authenticity in them. However, talking about the real time investor's which are the normal long term Bitcoin investors. They are always in charge of their investment, I you know why? because they barely bend to side talk that add no real value, they're never driven by emotions or constant market update. All they those is to maintain focus and ensure consistency till they finally hit up their investment time.
