You don't have to hold coins to make profits out of them, the trick is getting in at the right time, buy low and sell high have always be my path and it always works for me, all it requires is patience and also make sure you go with good altcoins that will recover no matter what, a good example is NEO
Know the coins well before buying it so you will make good profits from it after long time of holding rather than regretting in the end. Yes it's good to buy coins at its dip price and be patient enough to wait for the price to grow and when you think it's time to sell, then stick with your plan. Unless you're not making any FOMO or go with the decision of others, you will never be in loss once you stand in your decision.
Instead of FOMO or FUD type of "feeling" you might have, stop dealing with emotions and do your research. I think you should either invest into something that is fundamentally great and can be profitable, or just research all the small things like crazy, for weeks, and check everything part, leave no stone unturned in order to make profit.
Meaning either invest into things like bitcoin and ethereum so that you could profit, they are guaranteed to profit, maybe today maybe in few years but there is no doubt that they will be profitable, or if you want bigger returns, go for small altcoins that could potentially help you make more money that way. You get to choose which one you would like to do, but I would suggest if you want to retire early and have a decent life but want to make sure that you do not risk everything today for it, you should probably invest into big ones and wait for it.
Handling your emotions wont really be that simple but somehow this can be attained by experience that you do gain overtime.This isnt something talks about short span of time on dealing with the market.
You would need to experience most case scenario on how this market works and moves and when you do really let your emotion control your decisions then its better to re-assess yourself
on whats wrong and what things needed to be changed and whats not.
Even though Bitcoin and ETH is flying out with colors but im not really a fan on telling that these things do make out guarantees.For long term then yes but you wouldnt know on how long it is which means
there are lots of chances that those decision of yours would be changed up and mainly affected into situations that you might encounter along the way.This do matters on risk taking or management on someone,
neither you can take a shot or would just easily skip out and play safe instead.
