is not easy to hold watch your money going down by the day, people who buy occasionally during deeps and store don't usually calculate current price action because they are after the future. Characters of holding includes not checking or bordering about daily price, not minding the reductions or increase in price, they're after accumulating more of bitcoins in units or fractions, not regular negative news listeners, and they barely tells if they've loss a lot from the system, finally they're very patients enough to wait for recovery and overflows in price.
But as humans have you ever have this fear of holding? Like what if something happens to my investment? Did the negative news sometimes threatens your feelings? Like a case of politician in my community who bought 10 units of bitcoin after his political appointment six month later was caught by government ban policies trying to withdrew remaining units of 5 and some fractions after the long time of bearings season, he was sore afraid to loss more than that. He was caught by bank regulatory policies of no transactions with Cryptos related business and local banks and his account was seized.
Have you also have that fears before? Is holding for too long OK?
Only a few may not be concerned with the daily price movement, but keeping up with some news and updates will always make you check the price. After all, we are all humans. There is fear, and there is determination. I can say that someone who is really aware of Bitcoin has already killed the fear in them before they decided to put their money into it. When you fear price manipulation, that means you may not have the zeal to invest again, but before they invest, they are already aware of how volatile the asset can be. It may not be certain, but I invested in Bitcoin because I know I will make money from it and that it will not crash overnight and that it cannot just crash so easily.
The greatest fall of Bitcoin was in 2011, when it fell by -99%, but after that, it struck its ATH in 2021. I have killed my fear, and I will be holding and also selling fraction by fraction when I see a tempting price that is favorable to selling. Fear I had in Bitcoin was just in my early days into Bitcoin.
