Those noobs can be easily swayed by FUD specially those who bought at the top price during the December frenzy. They panic when everything evaporated just like that then comes the FUD schills and doomsayers which added fuel to the fire. That's why they are the victims here, potential profits is gone because they are too emotional. Then they join the doomsayer that bitcoin is dying or bitcoin will go to 0. Well, you can't blame them. They went to the market with the hope that its a get rich scheme which they learn in the hard way that its not.
That's why they are called
noobs in the first place but yes we can't blame them.
Thinking bitcoin price will just stay upwards, these
noobsstick to that kind of mindset without realizing that a crash or dip might happened on the way. But honestly, it was a good experienced for them to be swayed by FUD and then regret follows as in here they will realized that bitcoin price crash is not the type of scenario where they will just easily pullout their assets.
With that kind of experienced, these
noobs will improved their thinking that a crash is part of the system and if they planned to hold for long term then they can conclude that they must disregard any forms of movement on the price because all they need to do is to HODL.
That mentality of believing the market will just keep up testing new heights all the time really makes me laugh a lot and then when they buy into FOMO, they end up considering bitcoin dead or scared of whatever comes out from the media. Anyone who is not ignorant or has done some research before even investing will not even bother about any of that sort of news, but they never did.
Like you have said, over time, they will end up learning from experience and improving, which is where the market strength comes from anyway.
