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?
Should they sell their Bitcoin or they should keep holding to it despite the unstable state of Bitcoin price recently?

Bitcoin is known for its volatility, volatility could result to Bitcoin bullish trend or bearish trend, but when the price of Bitcoin is going down, there is no need to panic because panicking will make you take the wrong decision without thinking properly. If the price of your Bitcoin go down, the right thing to do is to buy more of the Bitcoin added to the one you already bought, otherwise remain calm and patient with your investment or portfolio. When Bitcoin price goes down, it doesn't stay down continually, there will still be price reversal after some period of time. To those who understand the nature of Bitcoin, and how the Bitcoin market works, price drop is an opportunity to make good profit from the Bitcoin market because it must definitely go up with time.

To be able to manage your portfolio well when the Bitcoin market dips, stop visiting your wallet regularly to avoid keeping your mind up, don't also be so interested listening to market news because you will also hear words of discouragement, but patience, and calmness will reward you greatly after this very time.

The more they panic, the more likely they are to turn their paper losses into real losses. Because if they don't sell, they won't lose anything. But that's just how it is, not everyone has the confidence to handle the current situation. If in the end they decide to sell, then that's totally their decision.

The recent negative news has more or less affected the market, but the market will definitely recover. Just look at the current Bitcoin price showing signs of moving back toward $80K. This proves that there is no point in panicking and then selling on the grounds that you don't want to lose everything. It's just a decision driven by fear rather than rational thinking, and it can often lead to losses that should not have happened.

For long-term investors, they need to commit to holding regardless of market conditions, rather than making decisions based only on market noise.

When an investor has planned to accumulate assets over the long term, haven’t they already factored in market fluctuations? Clearly, they understand how Bitcoin works and its cycles, and they also understand that a loss only truly occurs when they sell all their assets.
Personally, to be honest, I’m actually a little happy when prices drop because, indirectly, that gives me the opportunity to buy more while prices are low.

Adjust your mindset.

Be clear from the start about your purpose for buying Bitcoin, is it purely as an investment or are you simply holding it to make a quick profit (trading). Those who are panicking over this decline are most likely people who are afraid of incurring losses or losing money, the reason may be that the money they’re using is meant for necessities, and they decided to use it first to buy Bitcoin, hoping the price would rise in just a short time. So, be careful with the funds you plan to use for investing.

When it comes to investing, you must focus on the long term and that doesn’t mean a few weeks or months, it might take years before you can start taking profits. Investors won’t overreact to a decline like this, instead, they’ll use this momentum to maximize their purchases.

Not selling when the price is low should be known by all holders, I mean this is common sense. Traders also lose when the market is not favorable, I always wonder why people choose to sell at a loss when clearly the market is experiencing a dip, obviously they’ll end up losing everything. Fear of the unknown is the reason, newbies might likely make mistakes as such but, I don’t expect a holder who’s familiar with the market price to sell their bitcoin at a low price rate. Bitcoin price is volatile which makes the whole long term investment plan understandable, holding for the long run is actually the perfect strategy use in order to avoid losses.

Anyone who enters the cryptocurrency market learns a lesson a few months later a lesson that is hard to forget: this is a market that demands great patience. If you want to make a profit, you must know how to buy and then hold refraining from selling for months or even years. Regardless of how much the price drops after your purchase, you need to be mentally very strong to eventually turn a profit.

Those who fail to learn this lesson within a few months of entering the market are simply too stubborn; they will end up leaving the market early, having incurred losses. A recent example: prices had risen significantly some months ago, only to fall sharply afterward. Everyone who sold below $70,000 fearing the price might drop all the way to $10,000 ended up with heavy losses. Conversely, those who held on may now be in profit, or at least have reduced their losses, even if they had bought in at $90,000.

Long term means that there is no need to think about whether the price of Bitcoin has increased or decreased. When a long-term investor makes a long-term investment, he must know that the price of Bitcoin hits a new target in every circle. And it will take 4 years to complete that circle. Now if you plan a long-term investment and panic after a month when you see the price of Bitcoin decreasing, then you will not be able to hold your Bitcoin. When the price of Bitcoin decreases, you should understand that this is a normal process. And at that time, instead of selling Bitcoin, you should buy and hold as much Bitcoin as possible. In this, if you have Bitcoin at a higher price than before, their average price will automatically decrease, due to which your risk also decreases. So, when you see the price decreasing, instead of panicking and selling Bitcoin, you should buy and hold some more Bitcoins at that opportunity.
