There is no loss in bitcoin investment unless you don’t have a proper entry and exit plan to your bitcoin investment. For one that has invested in bitcoin at a lower price and sold at an higher price cannot face loss. Those that fall in this dilemma are mostly selling out of panic due to fall in price. If you as an investor stick to your plan of taking profit at a targeted price, you don’t have a problem of selling at loss because if your goal hasn’t being achieved, you won’t be pushed to sell no matter the condition of the market. Set the rule, stick to the rule, don’t pay attention to FOMO/FUD, and you’ll have a profitable investment in bitcoin.

Well if I may say ​discipline is earned through either experience with the market or you  having knowledge on how the market works, which would give you as an investor a grasp on how to face the market. Still Bitcoin is a volatile asset, and history has proven that no matter how deep Bitcoin falls it has always recovered with time. Unlike altcoins many of them which lack lasting value you only lock in your financial loss with Bitcoin if you sell lower than the price you bought at when the market dips.

​So I believe a person is mostly prone to permanent losses when they lack an understanding of how the asset works, unless you are an active Bitcoin trader. That said emotions will always be a part of we humans and whether they have negative or positive effects depends on how you perceive them as an individual .As a matter of fact when you are new in the crypto space, you will always face emotional issues. But as time goes on and you will begin to learn from your experience, and gradually those emotions will start acting as instincts to you whereby if you are a trader, you don't always have to rely solely on your strategies because the market often changes.​So yeah instincts can often come in handy That's just it...

To add to this, losses are only calculated when the bitcoin has already been sold out of panic. If the value of bitcoin depreciates and the investor does not sell out of panic there is a high chance that the value to go back up in no time and in such lose is not supposed to be recorded the investor can only be affected emotional only if they are short time investors who can't wait for the market to recover.

Have you seen that after coming to the Bitcoin market, someone who invested in Bitcoin for a long time did not get profit from it? Investing in Bitcoin definitely gives profit, but it requires patience. If someone invested in Bitcoin and lost, it is because he was panicking and thought of getting profit from Bitcoin very quickly, so when the price of Bitcoin was going through a correction, he sold his Bitcoin at a loss and then he is trying again to make profit from Bitcoin. If there is such an attitude, then the opportunity to make profit from Bitcoin is very less because Bitcoin gives profit only to those who are patient and invest for a long time. If you look carefully at the price chart of Bitcoin throughout its life, this matter will be clear.

If a person hates losing, then he should prepare everything before he venture into Bitcoin investment.  He must gather all the necessary stuff for learning and be smart enough to integrate what he has learned into his actions.  Aside from that, he must always have a fail safe option where he can minimize risk and losses by having multiple plan dependent on how the market move.

An investor should be flexible and not hold on to emotions because of liking the investment too much.  Always be rational and know when to hold and sell for profit.  And if something inevitable is wrong, never blame oneself instead see where the investment went wrong and learn from it.  There is always a new opportunity for those who never give up.

That’s why before you invest in bitcoin,  you are suppose to prepare, you should know you are taking risk, and anything can happen. If you are investing in bitcoin, you should try and hold for long term, if you don’t sell your bitcoin when the price is down, then you haven’t lost your money yet, so if you purchase bitcoin, and the price drops, if you don’t sell it’s going to bounce back.

It’s better when we are introducing people to bitcoin investment, we should tell them about the risk involved in it, so that they will be prepared. We shouldn’t just emphasize on the profits aspects, we should let them know that bitcoin price can drop also, and they should know things that they are suppose to do during that period.

I don't think it's an easy thing to say if you're the one who lost the Bitcoin.. for example, like the Coldcard incident, there are so many people who lost their assets that they collected for a long time.. many of them are so stressed because their assets are just gone and can't be returned.

So to make peace with it is not an easy matter and it certainly can't be forgotten overnight.. you can say don't feel frustrated, stay calm, and so on, but those are just motivational words, in reality losing a certain amount of money is very painful and no amount of motivational advice can help.

I think you need to learn to use your emotions to benefit you.  Typically when I feel like throwing in the towel on an investment, that is the bottom.  Similarly, when I feel like bragging about my gains, that is usually the top.  When you can learn to benefit from your own emotions and learn to sell when you get excited and buy when you're fearful, then you are not only not letting your emotions weigh you down, but are using them to uplift your portfolio. 

A holder is only losing in paper but not entirely. Those who have experienced dramatic losses have invested not only with their hard earned money but also with emotion. It's easy to say that we shouldn't be emotional with our investments but, even us we've been into that point of our lives that we're about to give up. But thanks to the people who continue to encourage us that it's not the end of the world if we have some losses but, it's still different per amount of capital that we have put into it. The others can easily understand their situation because if the money is like a life savings to them, they'd definitely won't let people stop them from being hysterical. Control your emotion, control your pocket, no one's ever going to save us but ourselves in these situations.

This topic best fits in the trading discussion board.

Bitcoin investors with a long-term mindset don't lose frequently, except when they are traders hiding behind the mask.

We often see losses in Bitcoin investment as a result of volatility, scam attacks, wallet vulnerability, poor security, and poor execution of the investment strategy. Traders witness losses almost every day. The same way they witness making profits.
