Correctly said! FOMO has made a lot of people bankrupt in 2018 who had bought at the peak of the price! A few of my ex-colleagues bought bitcoin in late 2017s using their credit card because some self-proclaimed investment guru has told them to do so! Now they are all neck-deep in huge debt. Credit cards in my country charges 48% annual interest in most cases so you will understand how much extra they are shelling out of their own pocket.

That's pretty irresponsible if you ask me!
Anyone, and I warn you all, everyone of you should tie a knot that you should never, ever take credits (or debts) to invest in crypto or any other asset which takes investments because things are uncertain and once it goes against you, you may lose other's money and managing it back may cost you a lifetime which none of you would want, right? So invest your money only that you own yourself, that you can call to be yourself and that you can afford to lose.

Some have even took personal loan at lesser rate of interest to pay the credit card debt.

This is even worst, because trying to repay a loan through an extra debt (we know as debt refinance) is like taking a dip in the swimming pool when you're counting on your last breathe and you don't even know swimming.

And the saddest part is that, they have sold all their holding in mid 2018 when the price was at 3500 approx. All are pretty badly fucked up due to lack of their patience while patience and persistence is the key in crypto market when you are HODLing.

They probably had the worst luck then.

When people buy bitcoin or even when they buy altcoin they should have a plan, they should know that they will sell at point X with profit and they should know that they can sell at point Z with losses in case of a big fall. By doing this the person is already prepared psychologically for anything that happens

in 2018 who had bought at the peak of the price!

nobody could know that $19,000 was a very high price and that the price would fall to $3300. Many people made forecasts of $ 30,000 to $40,000. but no one wondered where so much demand come from for the price to be in the $19000... maybe the ICOs were the one responsible for the price increase

One of my friends bought BTC when it reached $13.5k (yes, he FOMO'd in at very high rate).

After that, BTC crossed $13950 and almost reached $14k (though it didn't touch there) and that was his target but missed by some bucks.

And here comes the dump which shot down BTC to $9800 (yesterday) and he just lost his patience and sold off everything (what a chaotic loss of more than 30%) and it was actually predicted - https://www.ccn.com/opinion/day-trader-warns-of-impending-40-bitcoin-price-drop/2019/06/28/

I told him about this and asked him to wait but he sold off everything without letting me know. Now, he's regretting for his wrong decisions. I'd suggest you to think at least 10 times before investing because if you don't have the appetite to hold on during your losses, trust me you don't deserve a f**k in profits. Patience is the key and it pays off, it is actually paying off those who bought during 2017-18 highs but held their investments without touching it.
