I don't blame them for being panic, if bear takes over the market while you are still holding some altcoins you will be forced to hold for years again like 2017 or take your loss and leave, this is why I warned so many against buying at high price, this isn't a time to buy but a time to take profits but many don't see things this way
everyone clearly has a different character and panic, of course, is normal, everyone will definitely experience it, but in crypto it must be avoided and requires patience. but now I see that the events of the end of 2017 will also happen at the end of this year where ATH is formed.
buying at a high price is definitely not the best way because it's obviously difficult to get better, but I see that applies to altcoins only, but if you buy bitcoin anytime you will not lose because every time the price will increase from when we bought it.
all can be ascertained when every 4 years or also called halving, but it does take a long time to be able to return profits. so it doesn't hurt what our mate think, it can also be done to cut time so that we can quickly return the capital and can get a profit.
So bad when the pump started earlier a lot of people weren't ready to buy yet some where afraid prices would dump and they end up buying at the top thinking the trend will continue. Another thing I think should be taking into consideration is the new around the crypto industry, after investing they should try as much as possible to pay attention to crypto updates because sometimes the news affects the movement of the market.
if the matter of falling prices is a common thing, but if we do not panic and are patient and want to analyze well then we are able to control not to make mistakes that actually worsen the situation.
obviously any news related to crypto issues will affect, good or bad news is very possible, many can not be patient and quickly panic to make steps that actually worsen the market situation.
if we hold bitcoin, of course there is no need to be afraid of a decline because one day bitcoin will increase again and create renewable ATH, but for altcoins we must be smart to analyze well and see market movements.
