How to Handle Bitcoin Volatility with Knowledge Over Price

[BItcoin Guy@]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, you are right. But I think you have expressed two parts incorrectly.

Bitcoin is very uncertain, so no matter how much research you do, there is always the fear of losing, the fear of loss. Basically, we take various steps out of that fear. Backup funds, long-term plans, and more defensive investment strategies are adopted mainly because of losses or the fear of losing. So research cannot be the reason for getting rid of the fear of loss.

3. Knowledge protects you from greed:

You will see people around you who are educated, yet they are greedy. Knowledge cannot free people from greed, they may be able to detect fraud. But if they are greedy despite being knowledgeable, then they will fall into the trap of fraud despite detecting fraud. Such incidents happen often, many people want to benefit from that scheme even knowing that they will be cheated. Knowledge cannot completely protect you from greed, you have to be aware and learn self-control.

[Loyang]

Yes, knowledge helps a person to make the right plan and the importance of correct knowledge in maintaining the holding in the long term is immense. Without knowledge, a person can never maintain it in the long term. Whenever a person does not gain knowledge and only wants to invest and hold it, then he will definitely be forced to sell his investment before the expiry of the period due to wrong decisions. For example, if he does not know about emergency funds or does not gain knowledge about emergency funds, then he may not create an emergency fund and may sell his holding in the midst of this financial crisis to not create an emergency fund. Knowledge is definitely important.

But a person does not need much knowledge to start investing in Bitcoin. If a person has basic knowledge related to Bitcoin, then he can definitely start investing. After starting the investment, he can continuously gain knowledge and continue investing. If a person combines the two and takes it forward, then he is gaining experience and is not missing out on the opportunity to buy. When it comes to Bitcoin investment, gaining knowledge and investing at the same time is a good idea, or a parallel idea.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Quite valid points you gave there, however just as we always say, you don't have to know everything about Bitcoin first before you must start investing but once you already feel convinced about the technology, you can start investing but do not limit yourself to the small knowledge you have but always continue learning and acquiring all the required knowledge that will help you become a successful investor and will also help you protect your Bitcoin against scammers and also protect your privacy.

We have said it many times, that having a concrete knowledge of Bitcoin and how to invest and manage your investment successful is very important, the need for such knowledge can not be overemphasized. Some people invest a huge amount that they can not afford to hold for a long time and when price begins to drop below their target, they start panicking which could force them to sell at a lower price and face losses but someone who have a good knowledge will always invest just the amount they can hold for the long term period and even if price dips so bad, they will not panic.

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

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:

Knowledge does not primarily mean you understand everything, it varies based on how you see it. Some price actions are not what we expect some times, you won't say that you understand everything about the market, as that means your predictions are always right. Understanding is subjective, not objective.

2. Knowledge make you stronger and protects you from fear:

There is always a thing about knowledge, the confidence and belief regardless of whatever outcome. Knowledge does have a way of taking away fear and instilling boldness, knowledge is power really.

But knowledge helps you to think wisely and verify the good coin you want to buy.

In addition to your knowledge, you've got to build a strong resolve within yourself that you're not going to be a reactive person as long as your investment journey is concerned.

If you're one that's quick to react whenever bitcoin goes bullish or gets bearish, then your emotions might override your knowledge. Knowledge is good but emotion is damn powerful and ought to be put in check just so it doesn't make your knowledge completely useless. The knowledge entails that you accept the fact that bitcoin is a volatile asset and that volatility is an inherent attribute of bitcoin. Accepting this fact them helps you to set your investment goal and follow it to the later without making any rash short term decision that's not favourable to your investment plan.

[Supreme Donvic]

True, having knowledge about Bitcoin is very important it will help you become very relaxed even when the price of Bitcoin is going down, having knowledge of Bitcoin means that you have gone through the history of Bitcoin growth and you have seen the impact bitcoin has made and how it has been growing, when you know all this there's no points to panic when the price of Bitcoin dip.
The reason why some people usually panic when they are investing in Bitcoin and the price of Bitcoin goes down is because they don't have knowledge about bitcoin investment.

[Y3shot]

There is nothing much to understand or gain knowledge about Bitcoin and its volatility. The main thing to understand is that Bitcoin's volatility cannot be predicted, and I think just understanding this is not enough; it has to be a mindset. For most investors, the understanding of Bitcoin's volatility becomes clearer when they start investing and gaining experience for themselves.

Understanding the volatility of Bitcoin goes beyond gaining theoretical knowledge; it is an understanding that comes with experience. This is why someone who may have gained knowledge about volatility through studying can still panic in response to volatility when they enter the market. It is not that they are unaware of it; it is because it hasn't become a mentality through experience.

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.

This is where most people get it wrong. A large number of people that claim to know about bitcoin focus mostly on price movement. They don't know what triggers the price to react either positively or negatively. Some can not even read the chart by mere looking at it. Some believe only traders need the knowledge to read and understand chart but that's not true, every knowledge is useful for both holders and traders.

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.

Knowledge and conviction are two different things. You can have all the knowledge but still find it difficult to hold during market uncertainty if your conviction is not strong. You need the two to overcome fear of panic selling.

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.

This is not entirely true. Greed is not about having knowledge or not. Greed is relate to emotions and knowledge can make you more greedy if you don't know how to handle your emotions because you may think you can outsmart everyone with your knowledge. It actually takes self control to overcome greed and not knowledge.

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.

This is apt. Knowledge of course is a vital aspect but it doesn't set us free from all the challenges, self control also plays important role.

At first, getting a glimpse at what bitcoin is all about is much more important than starting the investment. Many people make mistake after already investing in bitcoin because they lack the necessary knowledge that would have saved them from regrets later.

Yes, Bitcoin is a very good and profitable investment, but have you been able to satisfactorily apply caution to your investment, such as the privacy and the security of your funds to help protect you from loss, hack or fraud?

These are what newbies and investors of Bitcoin should put into consideration to ensure a long term and profitable investment. One mistake can make you lose everything, but with the right knowledge, everything you need to do, know and avoid will be at your fingertips to decide.

[Miles2006]

Knowledge is important, though knowledge will not do all the work if you observe carefully you’ll notice many people in the crypto space make mistakes, learning from this mistake is what define our knowledge and determine our investment.
I always say there’s no point monitoring the market price regular or keeping up with the chart when one is not a trader, the difference matters and it’s best to understand the field we’re in so we don’t waste our time learning the wrong thing. Bitcoin knowledge is broad, investing, trading etc have their different areas of study, without knowledge we can’t keep up with our journey definitely bitcoin volatility nature is nothing new for everyone in this space while knowing about past event is a way to keep our hopes high about the market.

[Adams0001]

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.

You’re right, when we’re making research before investing or do any business, that will makes your journey go smoothly without facing some difficult into it. In bitcoin, we can’t learn everything finished before we we invest in bitcoin, when we have start investing, then later we can continue learning how everything goes, so that you won’t miss the opportunity, when the price is increasing you can be among the beneficiary. Knowledge is always the best tool to succeed in anything we’re doing.

These are what newbies and investors of Bitcoin should put into consideration to ensure a long term and profitable investment. One mistake can make you lose everything, but with the right knowledge, everything you need to do, know and avoid will be at your fingertips to decide.

Our newbies are investing to make profit, some of them finer even care to do more findings about Bitcoin, for the fact that they here Bitcoin everywhere and see how it’s going in the crypto space, they assume that’s all they need to know and started to invest straight without going further research about Bitcoin not to even know more about it, but to know how to protect their Bitcoin and how it works so that they will be safe with their investment.

The OP has highlighted key factors that are very important to take into account, if all Bitcoin investors can have that as background, we will hardly see complains about lose of money due to sending into wrong wallet, and also the dependence on centralized exchanges will reduce if we all understand how privacy works and how to control and keep our Bitcoin in our custody through keeping our seed phrase safe.

[Agbe]

Yes you dey correct. Knowing bitcoin well before we dey invest e dey good well well. Dat one no go dey make investors dey panic anyhow. But e go dey calm dey invest am. Dose ppl wey no know anything about bitcoin dey panic wen di rate dey come down and dem fit fear dey sell when e never reach to sell and lost money. Na so I buy Ethereum for Years back, omo no be small. Di guy e no dey rise up again after I buy am. Instead e dey come down steady na so I fear sell am collect my remaining.

But dat time I just enter di business and I been dey new for the system so later when I come dey understand di market na so di fear comment. Even like dat, I no dey invest in altcoins again na only bitcoin. Knowing before starting am e dey good.

Here is what knowledge really means:

And in addition to the list you just elaborated above which having full knowledge about Bitcoin could help you achieve, another one is that having sound knowledge about Bitcoin can also help you to protect and safe guide your Bitcoin from online theft. Because with strong knowledge about it, you will be able to know that your wallet seed phrase and it's private keys are th most precious things you are to hold sacred for dear life. Because mistakenly any of those two happens to fall in the wrong hands, then it simply means you might have lost your entire Bitcoin investment, and as such, having the right knowledge about Bitcoin wallet safety and security is very important, including knowing that the best wallet where you can have control over your asset is non custodial wallet, and not an exchange wallet.

Having knowledge about Bitcoin is crucial; I believe that knowledge can help you manage the price fluctuations and remain mentally calm without panicking. Indeed being knowledgeable about Bitcoin implies an understanding of blockchain and the underlying technology, as well as the ability to maintain a long-term mindset, manage risk, and control FOMO and FUD.

Investors who fully grasp these concepts are unlikely to be rattled by dips in the Bitcoin price; furthermore it seems to us they are able to acquire a proper understanding of the security and safety of Bitcoin wallets.

This is correct, some people intentionally fall for scam thinking they can outsmart scammers, and in the end they're trapped. I've seen people invest in the famous scam CBEX, although warned it could be scam, but they said they're early into it and can cashout before anything bad happens. Some even asked me to be optimistic for once.

Greed can only be controlled intentionally, you don't chase opportunities thinking only if what you could gain, but nothing of what you can lose.

Even with knowledge, some people still gamble with Bitcoin and invest beyond their discretionary income, so when Bitcoin price retraces, they're put in difficult situations since they'll be needing the money in a short while.

I won’t really say that knowledge alone is useless, experience is very important. A lot of people do understands Bitcoin volatility so well but they do panic when a real money is involved.

Starting with amount you can comfortably handle can be of help to turn theoretical knowledge to a real experience having not to too pressure the investor.

Experience of real practical use case scenario makes a Bitcoin investor have investment skills that distinguish them from a mere gambler and it is the experience gotten from knowledge put into practice that silences the noise in the market and stops panic or stops FOMO.

That's why in this current market it is adviced to stick to DCA strategy of investment so as to get rid of any guess work and emotional impulsions of finding the right time to buy.

Lastly, no matter the knowledge you currently have, constant research is what gets you on top and keeps you abreast with latest information and development that helps you stay protected as well as your investment portfolio because it would help shield one from scams, hacks, wrench attacks or making bad investment decisions.
