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

[AVE5]

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.

The news is shocking and this is a manipulation of the market that is indeed regulated, affecting fundamentals with all kinds of negative news that ultimately makes retail traders panic and whales wait to buy below.
This kind of practice happens all the time and many of them panic sell at a loss for fear that the price will continue to fall.

Even though when you already hold Bitcoin and buy at a fairly low price, there is no need to worry, because some rise to the new ATH will also occur.
Panic that results in a loss-making sale will only result in regret.

It's not worth it to trouble your emotions over short term volatility because it's certain that the price will rise again breaking out to historical price even when price has seem to fall down to the bottom.
Whalers will also find manipulating the market as strategies to buy more bitcoins in cheaper price after faking news to sell  that moves others especially the plebs who tends to copy the actions of the whalers.
There had also been scenario's that the whalers try to tricks us with their buying or selling news which we're supposed to treat as speculations and never to take them to heart because they can always make U-turn after all. Then those fallen on the trap to sell out of fomo becomes sources to get the rich richer.

Only people who want to perform day trading and are actually capable of making a profit with that strategy should look at the short term fluctuations and concern themselves with such things. Anyone else who considers themselves "investor" should only focus on the long term changes and currently we are in a dip which means even if there is more fluctuations, the current price is a discount as well and anyone who wants to accumulate should do it already (ie. don't just HODL, start buying).

This calls for a lot of experience that many don’t have. It’s obviously one of the ways to benefit the most from market movements but without the skill and knowledge on strategy, one might end up loosing even more.

The difficulty that is associated with this strategy is one of the major reason why people resort to holding, it’s more reliable and you need no experience to hold, just the willingness to buy some more and a lot of patience. Profit would always be waiting for you at the long run.

Current price hasn't varied much from a 5k range for 2 months it looks like.    Don't pay attention to something barely moving seems fair but be ready for when it does move might be better time and energy invested.

   The problem here is we have gone sideways so long the 50 day average which looked like it might recover and start a gain is sideways and even back into negative gradient, its flat at best.  Also so long as we remain below the 200 day average, we cannot hope to correct that popular measure back to positive movement.     All that can happen in this path is that the average moves down to us and eventually we get a resolution and find confidence to gain momentum higher.  Its not doing either at the moment just stalled, almost like a standstill then development of BTC price action.  Time will correct eventually I guess, price is not worth the attention as said.

Anyone can adopt a holding strategy, provided they have purchased a certain amount of Bitcoin and possess the patience you mentioned. However, many long-term Bitcoin investors do not limit themselves to this simple method; they often seek to increase their holdings through incremental market purchases, taking advantage of opportunities to buy when prices are low. Ultimately, it comes down to the individual's preferences and investment level, as holding only a small amount of Bitcoin is unlikely to yield substantial returns.

[danherbias07]

Yeah, I agree with you on this. Checking the price often can stress an investor out and lead to a mistake. A fast decision based on emotional swings most of the time can be a bad one. If you are a long-term investor, just let it be. Put your trust into it because you won't be deciding to be a long-term investor if you didn't do your research first.

Plus, if an investor bases his research on the history of Bitcoin, it shows that it always goes back up after a plunge. Might as well wait for that if those hands are itching to sell them. When it comes to Bitcoin investing, patience can be the biggest weapon of all.

Talking about the bold words in your statement. I agree with you that holding is more reliable, but if you want to hold strong without selling when you never wanted to, having knowledge on what is required to hold strong is very important, if not you will likely sell when emergency struck, if you have no emergency funds in place to protect your investment.

I may have the desired or zeal to stick to my holdings, but if I fail to put down emergency funds in place, my Bitcoin holdings will be vulnerable to any emergencies that comes up, so having emergency funds in place to protect your investment is what makes an investor to develop a strong holding hands, not just desire.

Often times again, because of greed this set of investors abandon to sort out their basic financial obligations and use money meant to sort their basic needs to invest in bitcoin which is also one costly move capable of disrupting long term holding. There’s  always some sense of relief knowing fully well that investors basic needs are settled  While holding bitcoin, if not the investor will have no choice than to sell his bitcoin holding when the needs keep piling up and  They often will sell at a huge loss due to bitcoin volatility. To be able to invest and hold bitcoin for long term there’s a need to invest only with a discretionary income which comes after sorting out basic financial obligations. This is a cash you won’t be needing anytime soon.

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 don't know why I keep reading this thing again and again and why so many people are making this such a big issue. I also don't understand why we believe that the market is going to dip only because MicroStrategy is planning to sell some of their bitcoins that they bought for selling, because we can't expect that an institutional investor will buy bitcoins and keep them forever, they had to sell them at one point, and this doesn't mean they won't buy again, so this isn't a reason for the market to drop because it's a normal occurring in a financial market like this and people need to understand this.

We saw such a big attack on cordcard wallets, so many bitcoins got stolen and there is so much fear and uncertainty in the market right now, but even after all that, the price didn't drop significantly, which should have happened because I consider this issue much bigger than some institutional investor selling a portion of their bought bitcoins, but people didn't react to this theft and incident, and they are ready to react to Michael Saylor's decision. This market needs to get more mature, I guess.

[Rockson1]

I have carefully examined what Michael Saylor and his group of whales are doing and I came to the conclusion that their plan is to lure retail investors into selling their Bitcoin so that they will systematically buy they up so that the global wealth distribution will continue to be in under the control of the 1%. Bitcoin came and changed the equation, giving everyone equal opportunities and I noticed they are not comfortable with this and that so there is no way they are going to ignore this so they have to respond through this way. People may call this conspiracy theory but it will so happen that most of the Bitcoin will end up in the wallets of the rich.

I think your really got this, and people are falling into their shit trap, these guys has a way of manipulating the market to put fear in the minds of investors to force them in making regrettable mistake of selling under pressure, the only way all Bitcoin will end in the wallet of the rich according to what you said is when smaller investor fail to think beyond the dip, people just continue to complain which is what sailor and friends wants, because they know that next decision for those that feels that it is the end of the road for Bitcoin is to sell out and the question is who buys them at the end, I keep thinking about this, smaller investor should be wise and stop being hasty in making decisions.

[EarnOnVictor]

-Snip-
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.

The best part is that the current prices are good enough to encourage any serious investors. What can anyone wish for having seeing Bitcoin dropped half its last year's peak price?

What more can anyone lose when they buy Bitcoin as low as $64,000? It not that the coin would hit $40,000, as that possibility is very low.  This only means buying Bitcoin at current levels can't be as dangerous for anyone again as buying it at the ATH. And before you know it, it can easy climb 2x again.

[Jaycoinz]

Well, I don't think this statement applies to everyone because staying alert on the market price is what most short-term traders do, and it's the core principle of getting profits off the market. If you are a short-term trader, then this is the best route for possible profits.

But if the discussion is now focused on investors that are aiming to stay long on the market, then staying off the charts will do more good because price fluctuations can seldom panic, and if you are not sure of what you are doing, then you might give in and sell at a loss, whereas the price is certain to go up again.

There are people that doesn't have regular income and they may have difficulty in figuring out if they have discretionary income to invest in bitcoin. For folks that don't have regular income, they should first of attend to there expenses whatsoever they have left should be use for investing in bitcoin. The moment someone that have irregular income should accumulate bitcoin with hope that whatever they have left will be enough to attend to there needs, that's precisely were the problem comes in. Since there income isn't regular they will mistakenly used more than there discretionary income to invest with. The most important for such people is to meet up with their needs before they can buy bitcoin, because without using discretionary income long term holding isn't possible.

[Oshio-man]

When you know where you got your capital to invest in bitcoin, I don't think you will pay attention to the current price in the market, and it will help you to make decision that will encourage you to release your bitcoin or not to release your bitcoin because you know what will happen to your income than to continue holding to embrace the price of your choice before you can sell, never allow anything to distract you when you know what you want, it will drive you smoothly not to take advice of other holders to rush to sell your bitcoin when you are not comfortable with the current price.

Short-term traders should always follow up on economic and political news since it affects the price of Bitcoin. This set of people would have to make trading decisions every time. Long-term investors have no reason to check the move of the market every time. The hodlers have plans that they follow, and they don't care about daily news. Regardless of the amount of FUD that is being circulated currently, nothing would make me sell off my hodling.

[Pandorak]

Why panic? If you’re an investor, you won’t be too concerned about Bitcoin’s current price, because your focus is on the long term, your profit-taking targets are in the future, so for now, just focus on continuing to accumulate.

The only ones who panic during a Bitcoin drop are traders, they seek to profit from price differences by opening and closing positions within a relatively short timeframe. They also tend to actively monitor charts, unlike investors who might only check them once a day or even just when making a purchase.

[Dreadboost]

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.

Strategy planning to sell some portion of their Bitcoin shouldn't be the reason why many others are also planning on selling their Bitcoin. Obviously, many people are just following their steps because they believe that when they sell, Bitcoin will drop massively, but the truth is that no matter how hard Bitcoin drops, the chances of it gaining back its actual price are very high.
Secondly, it's not only the small Bitcoin investors that literally monitor their portfolio because I believe everyone does the same thing in order to know when the perfect time is for them to buy because everyone has their own strategies that work well for them.
What I'm trying to say here is that all investors have the right to invest either long term or short term, but my advice for all investors is that they should consider long term investment because it gives them the upper level to make profits from the market than monitoring 24/7 as short term investors.

Many are selling because they lack personal conviction. To them, strategy knows what is best for investors. What they don't know is that strategy has the right amount of Bitcoin to shake the market for their own benefit. Strategy has the money to buy Bitcoin even after selling, but most people who sold when strategy sold don't have more to buy.

I have come to realize that investors who panic are not long-term investors. To be honest, any investor with a long-term mindset is set to have confidence that the market will go back to normal. There is no reason to panic, except that the intention is to make a profit in a few weeks of investing.

[Nanga Parbat]

Big buying by institutions is keeping things unbalanced for small investors because now the fear factor is increased; they are not comfortable; they can make changes as they want. This strategy is working for big players, but small investors are having nothing just because of this. Now price movement is stuck.

Now the best strategy for small investors is to just keep buying and try to hold for a long time because this will give them better results instead of feeling panic and having decisions that increase their problems in this investment. Michael Sayler is introduced as a Bitcoin lover, but he is doing a conspiracy. This could be below for Bitcoin, but still, it has enough potential to stay at a good level.
Their social media activity is also having a good influence on Bitcoin price, which they are using and enjoying. Complaining about this is good, but still having confidence is much better.
