Sometimes it's hard not to panic and keep calm. But when the price falls it's a good chance to buy Bitcoin but not to sell it. Because in a few days the price will increase again and you will be very sorry. You have to be patient.
Honestly, for someone who is going to be holding for long, I do not see any reason why they should panic. Most people are just in this ride looking for the fastest ways to double their money and have no idea what bitcoin is even all about. Ask some people today to tell you what they understand about the blockchain technology, they will blab rubbish.
However, if you understand the value of bitcoin and also understand the volatility after monitoring and studying the movement since the beginning, then you will see dips as blessings instead.
This is just pretty right. Bitcoin is totally still undervalued, so what any hypocrite wants to say won't stop the value from increasing the more. As the adoption keeps increasing we will keep seeing the value rising the more and at this stage, compare the adoption to when we will have mass adoption.
Just as you have said as well, the fact that we are still early adopters is why we are experiencing this high volatility, a time will come when the volatility will reduce and we will end up seeing the light volatility seen by other currencies which is normal and not worry too much about it.
