It is always important that we try to make research before we embark on our journey in Bitcoin investment, so that we can easily handle the challenges that come up.
Here is what knowledge really means:
1. Knowledge means you understand everything, not only focusing on price: We should not always be looking at the market going up or down. When you get the knowledge and have experience, you will know why millions of people are investing in it. And when the price drops, you won't feel anything because you already know the full picture.
In bitcoin investment, knowledge is a very important thing everyone needs to have especially for beginners who has little or no guardians in their bitcoin accumulation. We need the knowledge in order to be convinced that we're doing the right thing at all time and not doing things without good reasons to back it which sometimes lands us in losses. Knowledge closes the experience gap so if you want to make it big in bitcoin, you seek knowledge first, but be careful not to spend all day studying things that do not matter in bitcoin
2. Knowledge make you stronger and protects you from fear: When you have done your research, you won't be afraid of losing because you know that Bitcoin is volatile and price change frequently and even is down now he will increase in price and have more value. So when the price is going down, you won't worry because you have the confidence that it will increase again, no matter what. Fear makes you sell your coin at a loss, but when you have the knowledge, you will have the confidence to hold for the long term.
Fear is a result of ignorance when knowledge is absent. Seeking knowledge first will give you understanding and reduce your panic when you are investing in bitcoin and therefore saves you from selling at loss or selling under panic.
3. Knowledge protects you from greed: When you don't make proper research, you will fall for scammers. Some people, when they see the price of Bitcoin increasing, rush to buy, thinking they will get fast profit, and that is what greed causes it makes you buy any coin that is high. But knowledge helps you to think wisely and verify the good coin you want to buy.
Knowledge is good but I see greed as an innate part of human existence. A greedy person is not same as an ignorant person because a person gets greedy for selfish reasons so I think that investors can avoid greed on their own by working on their attitudes towards every price drop or price increase.
4. Knowledge always gives you a good plan: A good investor that has knowledge doesn't invest randomly. They have a good strategy in mind that will make their investment keep moving well. They always know how much to invest (NCA), when to take profit, and when to hold. With a good plan, you won't make emotional decisions.
I agree with you, good knowledge about bitcoin will help you set a life plan as regards when and how to invest and when you expect to start withdrawing your profit or selling a part or entire investment. This is because you already have the knowledge and understands how long you plan to invest and perhaps, when to start selling after reaching your set target
