This is what happened to me.
Last year, I sold part of my holdings at $130, when it crashed a little. Then after a few days, it becomes $300 +. I sold out the rest.
Whoa, in a few weeks, price hits $1000. And I just stared at it.
So, incidentally, I hate losing out to a pump than of a temporary price crash.
(And I should be buying low and selling high.)
Which one are you more scared of/hate more?

I would rather have bought and lost, than to be on the outside looking in, at all the ones who made great profits.

You rather buy and lose than buy and win right?? LOL you really are an idiot  This is what happened to me.

LOL Think about alllllll the people with sell orders $10, $50, even $100 above the current price... How would you feel if we had another manipulated pump to $1,200 & you sold out right away & saw NO upside on that??? The ppl who tout about how great BTC is will be super pissed when they sell out way too early |

Thats what "outside looking in" means. Google it, educate yourself, idiot! Let me know when you need some more schooling kid Hahahahaha |

You should only be afraid of option 2, because option 2 is a predefined fail; it should be a straight choice between...
Afraid of crash / Afraid of moon.
There should be no qualifier, because this makes it a leading question (you can only choose option 2 as it stands).
Once the question has been rephrased then it becomes a useful tool:
If you are afraid of crash, you have too many bitcoin.
If you are afraid of moon, you do not have enough.

I would rather buy 1 coin at $300, and risk losing $300, than to not buy at $300 and watch the price go to $1000, effectively losing $700 in gains that I could have had. This is what the OP is asking. You now have 1002 post of being a complete idiot. I think you are the one that should not be in this section. |

It is better to have bought and lost than to have never bought at all.

Great thread! I voted for option 2. But, since I have Bitcoin, I should probably be afraid of a crash  |

Bitcoin going over the roof, but unluckily foolishly you have sold out your entire bitcoin?
ftfy Never go full fiat. I never gamble more than 10% of my coins. |

I am afraid that the amount of fuel the Bitcoin rocket gathered over the past months, it might blast off to the sun and get burnt.

first scenario: I will have nothing
second scenario: I will have something
seems second option still better than first one

A, you invest $100, which presumably you could afford, BTC collapses. -$100 from where you would have been had you made the opposite choice. B, you fail to invest $100, and BTC appreciates to $1,000. -$900 from where you would have been had you made the opposite choice. You can only compare a decision to the alternative decisions you could have made, and the difference between the value of each choice is how the proper choice is made. Losing an easily affordable sum is clearly a less bad outcome than failing to make an enormous profit. Additionally, the possible downside from the initial $100 investment is limited, while the failure to capitalize on a vast appreciation is potentially unlimited in scope. Considering further that the odds of BTC suddenly losing all its value is infinitesimal and the odds of it appreciating in value is high, the potential loss from failing to invest is higher than that from investing and losing. |
