What Should Long-Term Investors Do If The Price Of Bitcoin Drops?

[EL MOHA]

So what are your advice to those long-term investors?
Should they sell their Bitcoin or they should keep holding to it despite the unstable state of Bitcoin price recently?

It’s a matter of self decision but once a person goes long term you should know better that they have already made up their minds to not be bothered with anything price fluctuations. If you could go back to the reason why many investors even pick the idea of long term investors you would understand that it was because of the unstable market price of bitcoin so why should they sell when such case of bitcoin price fluctuations happens again.

Every investor have their preferred target and it is left for them to actually either stick to their plan or make up another strategy and I do not think that a market price fluctuations can change it for the investors. Bitcoin volatility is an important part of bitcoin

As investors who are committed to long-term investing, they should have stronger conviction in market conditions like today.. If they can't hold on when the market is unstable, then they can't really be called 'long-term investors' because as long-term investors, they shouldn't be affected by the recent negative sentiment.. They need to look at the market not in the short term, but more in the long term.. because the market can be volatile in the short term due to hacks, global economic conditions, and many other factors. That's why they need to learn to stay patient, hold on to their investments, and remain focused on their long-term goals.

I have no different advise for myself because I am also a long term investor and that means that if I'm going to tip others, I'll tip myself first.

And that is about selling firmly and if I don't have any reason to sell, I won't sell. The market has been bumpy ride ever since so, this unstability that you're saying have been there for a long time.

It's not new to me and so, I'll do what I have used to do as there's nothing I need to change with how I adapt with bitcoin's volatility.

Honestly speaking, I don't see any reasons from any investors or long term bitcoin investors to be panicking about the market down, this is something very easy and understandable, and every investors knows how Bitcoin works, because Bitcoin is very volatile in nature and its a nature of bitcoin that price fluctuate at anytime, in facts anybody that's knows or have been into cryptocurrency activities already understood that the bitcoin price will never go in one direction. It goes up and comes down anytime it likes, so it's now left for the investors to plan ahead every drops by having our emergency funds aside in order to avoid selling at lost, then sticking to our long-term plan.

However, I believe every bitcoin investors have an initial plans and made thier mind to invest and holding it for long-term period, so any decision that comes after that is either the investors hasn't planned his investment journey well or lack of financial disciplines. Let our reason and goals remain the same instead of making emotional decisions that may later turns into life regret.

Due to the fluctuation of Bitcoin price most investors who are holding their Bitcoin are scared of losing their entire Bitcoin because of the frequent changes of Bitcoin price recently, some investors are panic of selling all their Bitcoin because they don't want to lose everything.

So what are your advice to those long-term investors?

Are they real investors or random people who just bought bitcoin because they have heard it makes people rich? People have spent time studying bitcoin price change and call themselves as investors know that price changes happen with bitcoin all the time. If they panic, then they most probably not much familiar with bitcoin. On that point the fact that they "afraid to lose everything". Everything is when bitcoin price drops to zero. That imo will never going to happen, and it wont happen in a second to rush to sell before it is too late.

Advice to long-term investors - set a price when you want to sell and wait for it. Nothing tricky. Cant follow that goal - sell whenever you want.

Long term investors must understand the risk involved when investing in Bitcoin. They don't have to tell us that they are not aware that the price of Bitcoin is volatile which means price can quickly fall or rise with in a short period of time.
Once an investor especially long term investors understand the reason why they are investing in Bitcoin, they should not be afraid of the market again whether price is going to fall or going to rise. There is much profits investing in a long term than being a short term holders and expecting to make quick profits from the crypto market.

It is not as if investors don't know bitcoin investment is a long-term investment, but so many investors tend to fix how long the investment will last, even if in their mind it will be a long-term investment. When going into a long-term investment, you just need to make up your mind to hodl your Bitcoin for the long term without having a specific time in mind. Some people have already decided to invest for four or five years, and at this time, if what they are expecting has not been achieved from the market, they become panicked.

Volatility is part of the nature of Bitcoin, and it because of that, it is different from the fiat currency, so if the market is unstable and it is giving you sleepless night, then it is clear that you invested what you cannot do away it, because if you really invested what you can afford, you will not be panicking or having sleepless night when you knows that Bitcoin price will always find it way back up, no matter how dip it fell. As long as you are a long term holder, your set goal should be holding strong no matter what, because Bitcoin will always prove to be reliable, by rallying back up no matter how dip it fell.

My advice to long term holders are very simple, they should not be moved by what's happening in the market, but instead they should seize the opportunity to buy more and build a good stash of bitcoin that will position them for a massive profit when Bitcoin has risen to a million dollars in the future.

If someone is a long-term investor, then there is a big chance they bought Bitcoin years ago and despite the current price, they are still in profit. But if there are others who bought it recently and are planning to sell, then all they can do is to hold long-term because it's almost guaranteed that long-term, the price will rise.

I don't understand the point of panic selling. There is no point to sell something lower than you bought it. Especially when it comes to thing like Bitcoin, which is the future, you shouldn't really be afraid long-term.

Why do you think Bitcoin will result in a loss because of price fluctuations? Even if Bitcoin's price drops to $10 your Bitcoin holdings will remain the same and once the price returns to its previous position the loss will be recovered. So you have to hold Bitcoin until it reaches your expected price. Long term investors will definitely hold and only those users who are holding for the short term or urgently need money will sell.

Bitcoin is best suited for those who are investing for long term. Price of Bitcoin is volatile but this volatility decreases over period of time. Those who invest in Bitcoin for short term are the one who want quick return and they quickly go panic in case price start going down but long term investors knows that this is the right time to buy more Bitcoins. We have seen in the past and in this year too that Bitcoin price bounce back sharply after going down significantly in price.

There is one simple rule of Bitcoin, its price will go up with time. If you understand this simple rule then you can gain significant benefit from Bitcoin.

If bitcoin price drops long term investors should not sell their coins in panic because in crypto market alot of up and down cames because from a very long time bitcoin price drops down but bitcoin always comeback strongly we just have to wait and hold it till last and if you sell it you are giving your self a big loss and you will regret it later. Those peoples who invest for long time they shouldn’t worried about short term prices drop. So if you are a long term investor you should just hold it because market recover it with time. I will never give an advice about any other coin but about bitcoin i will say just hold and you will see the results so just stick to your investment and strategy and focus on long term planning.

Selling Bitcoin due to the drop in price doesn't help every investor who's truly a long-term investor, i believe doing nothing, or buying more if you have spare capital it always the best thing to do due to how BTC has always been volatile. Besides, there's the moment when we’ve seen 70–80%+ drawdowns in the price of BTC multiple times in the past, and the price eventually recovered and went higher to create a new ATH price.
The people who sold in panic during drops are always the ones who end up losing money, while those who held or accumulated the dip make more profit.

[Taricoins]

I thought we had a topic like or something related, oh well. The concept of being afraid is part of Investor mind, plus you put the term long-term and that proves more than just a few changes in price, the only people that are afraid of price drop or sudden unpredictable volatility is those that trade or new investors or the one that bought in when Bitcoins price was very high, so that's my take.

[maydna]

Just hodl and be patient, that is my advice to those long-term investors. These situation will not stay for long and it is normal for Bitcoin movement. They should keep hodl Bitcoin and continue buy because they have more discount price.

But if they panic and selling all their Bitcoin, they will regret when they see the price start increases. They will be difficult to buy back because they will not get Bitcoin at a low.

These are the two things that can make you a big profit and hold your coins for a long time. If you do not keep one of these two things, then you can lose your investment. According to all the experience I have gained and the knowledge I have, we cannot lose for a long time. Obviously, if we do not do DCA, we cannot earn so much profit with a small investment, so over a long period of time we should keep putting money with DCA. For now, the price that has fallen is normal, so in my opinion, it is unreasonable to be afraid, so we should be patient and stay away from the price of Bitcoin for a while, this can give us some peace of mind. Still, they will have to see the same thing, so let's sit patiently and wait for our profit.

[Catenaccio]

Just hodl and be patient, that is my advice to those long-term investors.

Experienced investors know what to do and your advice is right but it is for newbie investors in this market. They are newbies in the market, and even they are investing, they still lack of knowledge, experience through challenges in the market, and they need to get it by themselves. With newbie investors, they can feel panic if the market turns too very bad, but it's part of their experience for becoming experienced and successful investors.

These situation will not stay for long and it is normal for Bitcoin movement. They should keep hodl Bitcoin and continue buy because they have more discount price.

But if they panic and selling all their Bitcoin, they will regret when they see the price start increases. They will be difficult to buy back because they will not get Bitcoin at a low.

People who fomo buying and panic selling are wasting their bitcoins and great opportunities but the other people if are able to take advantage of it, will be able to accumulate cheap bitcoin, build up investment portfolios with cheaper cost while able to get very good profit in years and cycles later.

Sometimes holding without a target for a stop loss is a foolish thing. So selling during a decline can sometimes also be a good move to reduce losses. But indeed there are many types of traders. But what I think is that it is better to lose a little and be able to recover. Maybe a loss target of 6-8% is normal in my opinion. The important thing is that we do not use all our assets to buy back or as a backup. Or indeed the DCA model during a decline is an effective model to accumulate again. Because investors always look for the cheapest price and sell at the most expensive price.

Excuse me but we're discussing about long term investors and investments, not traders or short term speculators. With investors, and investment in Bitcoin that is safest in cryptocurrency market, they accumulate and hold for profit. They don't trade their bitcoins so with them, there is no advice to make cut loss with stop loss order or stop limit order.

To use those orders, they must also leave bitcoins on exchanges while this practice is very risky and not recommended.
Reminder: do not keep your money in online accounts.

[YOSHIE]

So what are your advice to those long-term investors?

Maybe there are several things that long-term investors need to do when the crypto market situation is facing a decline, especially for Bitcoin, the main thing that long-term investors need to do.
Try not to panic and try to avoid panic selling, after everything is calm, find out and research the basic factors causing the decline in Bitcoin prices, whether Bitcoin's decline was caused and triggered by technical market problems, momentary negative sentiment or other factors.

Furthermore, long-term investors need to control their emotions and remain focused on their initial goals, if your commitment and orientation is for the long term, say for the next few years, not for short-term fluctuations, Of course it won't affect the Bitcoin assets you own, even if you see your assets plummeting, but when the price rises again your assets will automatically rise, don't sell them when the price falls sharply again.

Yeah, I vibe with this narrative, I do think alot of people fix an end and once that time reach, it feels like that patience is all dried out, having been investing gradually for over 10 years, I can I don't see the down sides any more, most of the time the reason why I notice the price going down, that's when I tend to buy to get maximum profit. In essence, what am trying to say is investors shouldn't put a stop gap so enable them invest better

[Mr. Magkaisa]

calmly waiting for the rise as the question says long term investors, These people aare not weak and have a strong hands which i can say they do buy more on dip and wait for the rise. but if BTC go deeper they just keep on stacking.
Some who are brilliant in the market sell it and buy on the deeper price but this is dangerous also because the price might go high anytime.

Well most investors dont touch their holdings as it is for the long time.
