Being afraid of losing or losing some of your money in trading is a natural feeling. We all do not like to lose money, but what is not understood is the loss of all of your capital or large amounts, as it indicates a problem in your investment strategy. If you diversify your investments, the possibility of there being a loss will decrease. All your capital and the problem becomes how to reduce losses to be much less than profits and thus trading will be profitable. More learning will put an end to the idea of losing all the money from your head and will reduce the loss of large amounts. The only problem remains reducing losses compared to profits.
Their is no way one can avoid lose in trading, it is something that is always their that every trader will experience. But the lose i am talking about is the one that is caused due to lack of understanding, this type of lose always comes big.
I don't know what you guys are so crazy about trading. It is clear that the marketing that promotes it has you well eaten in the head. If you are afraid of trading, just don't do it. I'll give you another reason, well over 90% of traders lose money, this in the stock market, and I'm sure that with cryptocurrency trading is even closer to 100%. So if you are afraid of losing money with trading, you are right. So don't do it.
It is either to stay away from trading or to have a better understanding about it for better outcomes than to trade with no understanding expecting to get better results at the end of the trading exercise.
It is normal to have fear and worry about the investment made with Bitcoin. I agree with @OP that to quell that fear, one must strive to learn and acquire knowledge about the venture he is investing with or trading with.
Knowledge is the best solution for fear since fear is caused by worries about unknown circumstances and having knowledge about Bitcoin trading, the cycles, and the patter of the Bitcoin market will assure us of something in the future. So learning these knowledge will make us diminish the fears and worries and we will have peace of mind holding our BTC and be ing patient to wait for the future great opportunity to profit.
Learning to understand is the main thing people need when it comes to trading and investment. Understanding is the only instrument that can help to get the kind of results everyone desires in trading. This is what everyone needs but people try to do without learning , thinking it is just easy to make good trading.
