I think that the growing interest in Bitcoin will mean that this year (2022) and certainly a few more will still be in an upward trend. In my opinion, we have nothing to worry about just HODL all the time.
Exactly! But some people joined just recently, most of them bought the last top, and now only the bull run can save them and bring them some profit... until that point they will have to hold and if they are weak they will sell with losses, probably there's a dilemma should they sell now and wait for some new dive?! And we know how that can go...
I would say that people shouldn't worry, the market will grow even more, but with time! So patience, stacking more, patience, holding, and one day that will pay off!
but the problem is that these newcomers generally don't know and study beforehand so when they get a drop in the price, they panic and it's certain that when they panic they don't have a strong reason to hold their coins and end up selling.
this is a fatal error that still occurs for beginners today.
