Topic: Caveats newbies in Bitcoin investment should take to notice (Read 142 times)

From all what you made mention, you are correct but some places you totally made reference to Bitcoin trading.

You made mention of investing in Bitcoin to earn profit, yes and absolute correct.
You made mention of Bitcoin investment requiring patience to hold, yes and correct.
You made mention of research, it's important as most newbies don't know when it is very suitable to invest. Yes, every Bitcoin entry price is profitable but by deploying some certain strategies one can get better portion than when being ignorant, so a close research is needed and not actually necessary, having someone to guide and pilot you during making investments, for maximum profit and security benefits.

This be the contradicting point, when dealing with Bitcoin investment, it is very difficult to loose funds from investing only on the condition of selling too early, meaning one lacks the patient to hold longer. Even investing from the pick dose not stop one from making profits as long he/she understands the cycle, there must always come a bull run reaching different all time high.

you never loose unless you sell at a loss... advice: dont sell at a loss

if the market is in decline, dont think of it as losing, think of it as discount time to accumulate more. advice: dont sell, instead buy more

#buy-low-sell-high
#never-sell-a-loss
#not-your-key-not-your-coin

as for strategy
2 year plan. only buy below last ATH / 2 (under 50% of last ATH)
4 year plan. only buy upto last ATH dont buy when new ATH is happening
4+ year(long hold) buy when you can, but maximise potential by buying most at the lows less at the highs
always try to buy the dip(correction down) not the hype(movement up)

..
anyone screaming at you to buy at ATH and stating quick profit multiplier are lying to you. they want you and other newbies to buy on the high so they can sell. you become their exit strategy
buying high locks you into a longterm hold. only invest in a high if YOUR plan is a long term hold of many years

What I noticed mostly is that many newbies doesn't invest when the price is very low I don't know if they don't trust bitcoin or do I say they don't know what they are venturing into because as an investor the best time to invest in any project is always in the bear market at then you have make sure to have sets up your portfolios of investment and ready for bull run.

But at this people think investing in bear market is the most dangerous one because they are afraid of losing money without knowing fully well that bull run is where people lost more money, because they always pick interest to invest when they have seen changes in bitcoin price without knowing then is the worst time to go investment since they can't predicts the future of what would happened next and immediately they invested and market turned against them it result to lost giving it bad representation since they fails to understand the mechanism or the principles that controls bitcoin price.

You are right that one should let a person they are teaching about Bitcoin know that it involves risks, however, I don't think a person can lose money after investing in Bitcoin if they are not getting into futures or other trading types and are just buying and storing and also are patient enough to keep holding through bad times, but then again, it's a matter of guidance, if you are talking about Bitcoin investments to someone, let them know each and everything so that they don't face problems, because if they face problems and incur losses, you are the one they are going to blame for their losses and then you won't be able to say anything because you didn't guide them well.

Bitcoin investment never be the shortest means of making money, its people who misunderstood bitcoin and it's investment, actually when you learn bitcoin and comprehend the concepts of bitcoin very well you will see that bitcoin is not something we can say that you will venture into it with clear understanding and you fail to make profit..but the problem is that, the kind narrative people are understanding bitcoin as investment, is not what bitcoin ride about, their no investment you venture into and you don't know the rudiments and it propagate for you or flourish for you...many people experience losses in bitcoin investment depending their ability to code bitcoin technologies.

You can only make profit in bitcoin when you know what's short-term duration of bitcoin investment and when you also know
longterm investment of Bitcoin, actually we have to understand the strategy of investment before we invest...unlike people emphasising on long-term investment in bitcoin that is the best of making profit in bitcoin, the thing is that have you try to understand the chat of bitcoin first, so that you will know when is proper to invest on Bitcoin and hold for long duration, the most important thing we should know concerning bitcoin is to notice when you as investor suppose to purchase bitcoin and when you are not supposed to purchase.

Without patience, one cannot make a profit from any investment. Bitcoin's case is peculiar because it will take some years before one might start making a profit. And within this year there is a lot of negative news which can generate FUD. Only the patient would be able to keep hodling even when everything is pushing you to sell.  


You don't need to know the technical aspects of Bitcoin before investing in it. However, it is important to keep learning and relearning about the Bitcoin space because there are always discoveries and inventions. This forum is an ideal platform to gain relevant information.


Do you really need a coach or mentor when all you need can be accessed in this forum and on the internet? Another challenge is that most of these so-called crypto experts might not be reliable. However, you could identify and learn from anyone who has a good reputation.
You can identify some of the in and outside the forum. I am recommending Andreas M. Antonopoulos if you want to gain information about Bitcoin outside the forum.  


It is good to have an investment plan and follow it judiciously regardless of the pressure from the media and other anti-Bitcoin forces. Every investor has their plan, therefore follow your own and don't be influenced by other people's decisions.    

BTC is not a 'business' in itself or in the way you take it, BTC is a p2p electronic cash that is decentralized, permissionless and censorship resistant.
You don't need a mentor or any 'expert' to understand or use BTC, this is a trustless network and if you tell people to have mentors, they could mistake it that they should trust certain people who call themselves 'experts', and this could make newbies expose their seed phrase to such people and lose their funds. You can learn everything on your own, through forums like this one, books like 'Mastering Bitcoin', online searches and recommended articles.

Many would have heard about bitcoin wrongly and this has much to do with the kind of people that introduce them to bitcoin, some might have been lied to that they will never take any risk in it and cannot loose their money, while some already made mouth that its a quickest means to how someone can make money within a short period, all these wrong information's are what we should discourage others from giving newbies, we should present bitcoin as it it to them and not to entice them, because we loose nor gain nothing from that, and every newbies should also take the task on themselves to make personal research in addition to what they had been told.

Yes that's the risk of being a careless beginner, as a beginner they should prefer to learn to explore it first before trading in the market. Otherwise events like what you said will repeat and continue to repeat.
But most of them start out unprepared and worry that they might miss out on some amazing momentum. Unfortunately, they made the wrong decision because they missed the momentum and ended up making a loss because the market was expected to go up and in reality the market went down and they sold at the wrong time.

BTC investment is the best investment you can invest to make a good profits during the bull season because, whenever the price is pumping in the market make investors to earn from their different investment either long term investment or short term investment.

If you are talking about newbies in the BTC investment, they always fall victim to sell their BTC in the low price because they always conclude that the price will not pump above that particular price that will make them to run to the market to sell  and begin to see the price continue pumping in the market because, they didn't exercise patience in their hodling.

Over the years the business of Bitcoin investment has proven through some persons to be very lucrative and as such has attracted people to venture into it in the hope of coming significant profits too.
However this hasn't always been the case as some tend to record more losses than profits and end up being far worse than how they started
Here we will try to address some reasons for this
First of first,
Newbies in the Bitcoin investment biz should be well aware that getting that desired level of profits is a process and might very well require patience
Once patience is achieved then the bed rock is already in place
Because in patience would more often than not lead into regrettable decisions and in this case, loss.
Also have in mind that it takes continuous work.
It's like owning a plant or pet, just like every other business, it requires attention
So in this case research need to be made constantly as the results of these researches would shape our decisions
Good research would often always produce good decisions which in turn gives good results
Moving on, also have in mind that it is safer not to dive in on your own
Get a coach or mentor or whatever you want to call it
Get someone experienced, someone whose experience can be seen in how much success he has had in the biz
This would reduce the risk of rash and rushed decisions based of ignorance and inexperience
Another is self control
In holding Bitcoin it is not easy to turn a blind eye when you see people selling and making gains
Self control makes you optimistic to the expectation of the price increasing
Though I would say your coach or mentor should recommend on how you hold
These are just a few that I could point out
To all those who see this and have anything to add, please do so and criticize constructively
