I think it can be overcome by strong faith on your coins or experience. If you really believe in the coins that you hold then you will not sell it or if you've been through its ups and downs then you can assess that it's a strong coin because it still manage to grow.

Strong faith and understanding the risk of the world itself should be able to help anyone to make the right decisions and not get panicked or chicken out when holding. If you believe that the coin you hold will thrive and know that the devs will always work hard to make holding the coin worthwhile. It is the long wait that counts and that is where and when you will get the best from any good coin you are holding.

Calming down is very necessary. Most times, the best is to just stop listening to FUDs and closing one's eye from it. The handwritings are already all over the walls and you only have to be strong and believe that at the end you are going to get the best from bitcoin's value without having much to worry about.

FUDs have been spread right from the onset as bitcoin started growing, so the best is to relax, see how you can get the best of the future.

This question is very broad because all of us have different views at things and different level of fears. Not all are risk-takers and honestly I am one of those fearful person and I fear selling rather than holding. Maybe because I am holding bitcoin. Bitcoin is far more powerful than any other coins that is why I was able to overcome my fear of holding. I believe that bitcoin has so much potential in it.

Yes because bitcoin is the most valuable coins where all of us has the kind of fear what your tallking for.

Basic. What you do make sure that you would not regret it later. Regret is for the weak. If you see such potential on a token/coin why would you sell? Hold it a little longer. Sellimg it and converting into fiat would make you happy because of the income but think of the ROI=Return of investment, can you earn with your fiat? If not then hold. ROI + PATIENCE = LAMBO.

it is quite natural if there is a fear in holding crypto that we invest for a long period of time because I think the movement of crypto value is very pluktuatif this thing that cause we will feel fear when holding crypto in the long term. there may be some things that crypto investors need to do when investing in crypto and one of them is of course to keep up with the news about the development of crypto from a reliable source. by doing that I think it will make us not too reckless in holding some crypto we have because still in the end we have to remain wary of our activity in crypto so that no loss happened.

I've always been one who sells to earlier, either to minimize my losses or to realize my earnings ASAP and leave. I've seen in most of my investments, if not all that if I would've just left the coins there they would've been worth 10-50x what I put in before. This is upsetting as a person and trader, as I see how much money I'm missing out on.

How do you traders do it, hold and hold and hold. Waiting around for more and more money?

You should have learn all of your mistakes because if you keep to continue like this you will lose a lot of money and it is too late for you to realize that soon. Why would you fear when you are just holding? If you are around on this forum you will likely to read every FUD and shills here but it doesn't matter just go on your instinct, believe it. It is only you can control your emotions and nothing else.

That is a very lovely question, why fear when you are holding anyway ?
The thing is looking at the possibilities of huge dips and the possibilities of bitcoin reaching new heights, then we will know that the new heights are more likely to be reached than the dips most times.

We have had huge level of increase over the years with just few levels in percentage of decrease and only those who panicked are the ones who would have been at loss by now.

We have different scenario in life and not all are really not afraid of holding bitcoin, if they are afraid then let them cash out they could actually learn not to panic at the right time, it just take a full courage and confidence for us to be able to adapt our own strategy and to embrace holding.

I think there is no way to overcome it, all you need is to find a reasonable balance between and everything will be just fine. Wish you the best.

I think the best thing that we can do to prevent our fear in trading is close the browser after we buy and don't turn on our computer for a few days or weeks and we should do another thing to not focus or remember on what coin we bought. then after a few days, we can come back and turn on our computer to see is there any good news from our coin or not and if it is no good news, then we need to turn off again our computer and come back in other days. at least this is work for me when I am afraid of what will happen with one or more coin I bought because I cannot collect much info about the coin.

Trading in a perfect alt season is the right time to trade without any fear of losing too much. March to June is the month to celebrate.

The fear of holding has certainly visited anyone who practiced trading even for a short time , so you should identify your self and set on point your trading strategy by choosing whether you'll always want to hold or you'll always want a short term investment where you sell all your coins shortly after getting them and that will depend on what coins you'll be thinking to invest in because by just going through the forum you'll know which coins to hold and which to get rid of asap . After identifying the behavior that you are willing to adopt , the fear of holding won't be a real problem since you already made peace with that by choosing a strategy .

With the price of bitcoin gradually depreciating nowadays, people, mostly beginners, are tempted to sell. I think these people are just too worried about losing their profit, hence losing faith in bitcoin. The best way to overcome the fear of holding it to separate your money from bitcoin. Do not put all your savings into bitcoin and depend on it. The trick is to invest partially, just enough and make sure it would not have any effect on your lifestyle, despite having a huge loss.

Once I buy to hold, I put it in cold storage and forget it exists. And that's that. I know it's there if there is a need for fiat, but other than that, it doesn't exist Wink

Every trader has their own way of dealing with their profits and loss. For me, I only cashout when I need the money in fiat, apart from that, I don't cashout. And I don't do panic cashout.

I don't know everything about trading and I had my share of huge losses before. However, I think there isn't a hint of mystery how others can hold for eternity (just kidding). I think it goes down to the basic rule of only invest/trade what you can afford to lose. Long term holders accept the fact that holding is a long term investment. Their budget will not be in anyway affected if some of their coins lose value, thus they just let it sleep until the desired value has been reached.

How to overcome fear of holding. Very simple. Stop trading and start developing skill that will take your mind off trading. Developing right set of skill in cryptocurrency will keep your interest up and you could even buy more while you hold.

I become a traders who play hold because if we cutt lose or sell cheap coin that I have then we will lose, more profitable if I play long-term resistant coin which is owned to berthaun-year yes it takes a long time but this is the way of trading the safest.
