The crash definitely caused a lot of people fear, and a ton of them left because of this. But, I do not understand what people gain from selling at this low stage, I mean the better version would have been waiting for it to recover a bit more or selling a lot earlier. I would get it if you sell at 50k+ when we started to drop from the peak of 68k. Like we start from 68k and drop to 50k and that would be a time to sell.
Or I would understand everyone who are still holding and hoping to sell when the price goes up, that would be the best thing to do, but that doesn't change the fact that there is nothing wrong with it, and this is why I believe that we should not be doing much more than just these two.
This happens for a single reason which is fear, when people let their emotions take control of their actions they will do things that are not logical at all.
As you state there are only two logical decisions, one is to sell as soon as we think there was a reversal on the trend, the other option is to hold our coins no matter what, however waiting until we are close to the bottom to sell your coins is not a good idea at all, but it is a very common mistake which is taken by those which are not prepared to face the adversity we are going through.
That is why it is very important for us to be able to control our emotions when investing in crypto, so that we do not make wrong decisions.
But the fact is that many people can't control their emotions, so it's not surprising that the Bitcoin price dump is deep enough, many people
are scared and end up selling their Bitcoins at low prices. This not only makes the price of Bitcoin fall even lower, however, it reduces
the interest of new investors to invest in Bitcoin. There are still many people who actually don't understand how the crypto world works,
if investors already understand how the crypto world works, they should not panic when the price of Bitcoin drops drastically. So not only
do we need to control our emotions, but we also have to make sure we have a good knowledge of the crypto world, before deciding to invest
in crypto.
