Topic: Let's talk about emotions (Read 265 times)

Omo, emotions no be wetin to joke about o, because it's a natural occurrence, and emotions no be wetin we supposed dey allow am wen we dey trade or investing because e fit spoil something like to make us do or take some kind decisions wey we no supposed dey take or do, because if we involved emotions when we dey trade like for example, if we buy coin and de coin dey depreciate and appreciate, Maybe because of fear of losing all, we go rush go withdraw am, or we go just leave am der and later we go start to dey regret and na wetin emotions dey do, so make we keep our emotions aside and follow our instincts and do what is right.

Op emotions is evaluator that tell you how what you engaged on can result at the end, either of positive or negative  Anything man engage on emotion must follow it's either of negative or positive one as one can't run away without it back following him/her so it's to emotion.

All person need is how to control emotional because is subject to control but can't be eradicated in human life.

Okay this was probably  a dig on my post history  but it's  quite okay to me.
Firstly, check the date I registered and the date I made this thread.
Secondly, although I wasn't to the forum then but I already grasp  what  was the trends in which I had to understand  better by making  posts to clear my thoughts towards investing in BTC then which means I already know what investment  means especially in term of BTC so i wouldn't want a deep dive into it making it look like a lot of repitition to me, don get me wrong i used the won't "dive deep" I'm not saying replies couldn't be on investment.

If you want people to make reply on your thread that won't talk about investments deeply, I suggest you should make your thread a self moderated topic so if anyone goes more than talking about emotions and diverts to investment only you can delete it.
But on the other hand this forum is mainly for Bitcoin topics and your topic is also related to buy Bitcoin, so I think one is free to talk about Bitcoin.
Trading is also part of gambling and the same things gamble can cause that's also what Bitcoin trading can cause. If emotions can make one to be addicted to gamble it also means that emotions can make a trader to get addicted to trading. Bitcoin investment is more better than than trading because from my instincts, Bitcoin investment can fluctuate from $64000 to $10000 in a day.

Emotions have ruined the plans of most traders and investors because they become distracted from actually the main cause. I'm keeping my mouth shut and doing underground movements for new planning. Mixing emotion and business will not go anywhere because we can be more focused on the system but not comprehending the top situation that follows. I know it's our plan and ambition to hits new heights in the system, at the same time, checking out the necessary goals.

Well nah normal thing to dey feel emotions sha , because we humans are emotional beings. But make we still try dey suppress am so that e nor go dey affect us negatively expecially in anything related to earnings in this space, I remembe back then make I dey think say with trading I go make am big , till I understand that trading is not for the weak , because back then most of my losses was caused by lack of emotional management, because any small loss like this I dun lose am I nor con dey think straight again wetting go dey my mind nah how to get wetting I loss back (which is greed ) as sign of my emotions getting the best of me .

.
Normally is not easy to control emotions, but still one can manage it by following some nice principles. Inorder to put your emotions in check so that you won't endup making some crazy decision that will endup causing you more pain or losses. For Instance there's this popular saying or principles expecially in trading and gambling. The principle goes like this if you dun too loss and you see say your emotions wan dey get the best of is better to stop that thing first and engage with other activities so that you can have time to get your head back in the game.

IMO I don't actually see any reason why one should let his emotions get the best of he or she when investing in Bitcoin expecially as long time holding. And Expecially this time around when everywhere wan green due to the bull run , nah to just accumulate, hodl and avoid any means of checking Market on a regular. If dip come nor too stress yourself just purchased the dip if you get discretionary   funds .

In every business, there could either be gain or lose whichever way it comes and individual should be very much ready for any of this, attaching emotions to business might not really be a good idea because you needed to emotionally strong enough to enable you make decisions with the right sense but not under the influence of your emotions. that is to say emotions should be completely out when it comes to business if not you might not be able to make good and significant progress in your business.

Anything that has to do with doubling the money by using a certain amount of your money as capital, whether short time or long time, your emotions will always come to play an important role in it. Trading could require higher emotions and investment needs less emotions to play here. Trading is for the short time and your emotions have to be stronger to bear with the market at that money after placing a trade you want to go in your direction. Investment just require you to hold on for a long time, whether in favour or not in favour of you. If you don’t touch from the investment, 1BTC will always be 1BTC, it doesn’t matter the value it will be at that time. Emotions is necessary in all of this and it should be taken into consideration before going into any of the aforementioned.

Well emotions is very uncontrollably feelings in life whether I'm trading or in investing, we can't control our emotions no matter how hard we try, it's just a natural occurrence but what matters is how we handle things when we are emotional so whatever thing we do we should tread with caution to avoid being a victim of loss and also getting into problem because it can lead to mental disorder and high BP so let's be mindful of our emotions when doing things in this life.

Trading and investing both provide emotional difficulties and have a tendency to wear a person down however, we only need to learn how to control our own emotions if we want to avoid losing everything or giving up. Emotions is something critical and some that should not be taking lightly and it should also be taking into proper consideration  and managed properly. Some obstacles will try to convince you to give up we simply need to motivate ourselves. And now that you've decided to try your hand at trading and investing, you need to be ready—especially emotionally.

Anything wey get risk suppose get emotions normally and either investment or trading no dey exempted at all.
Just as oga charlse  don also talk say no specific board dey for investment hence I no sure say emotions really get any major effect on investment.
The only thing about investment from my point of view na the fact say most times it requires very serious dedication and most times, extra cash because at some point,  person wey dey feed from hand to mouth go hardly invest or even save.

Anyway, you get good point but as investment they so, anybody fit do an because as long as say you done already learn about the investment and you also get your good strategy and portfolio you can come along with the investment, nah because of all those things nak make e they good for newbies to study about Bitcoin before them start to invest in Bitcoin.
E go det very bad when people go just invest for Bitcoin and then no go learn about the invest or get good investment plans before them go start to they put their money for the investment, naw just imagine say you no learn about Bitcoin and you invest start to dey accumulate for months and at last when you check you they lose, how e go be? Shabi nah to faint or nah to kpeme? Lol.
So e dey good for people to learn about investments (not only Bitcoin) before them start to invest.

As somebody that wants to trade, trading doesn't have to do with your emotions. You need to study the market forces very well before making your trades.
Even as an investor, your investing because you have the right kind of knowledge of what your going into. So emotions doesn't come into play, that's not even an option. Because your money is involved, so there should be a return in every investment done.
Your into a serious business, you can only make your decisions with what you have on ground after doing your due diligence and not emotions.
Baba you gats use your head for the matter oh, no come dey show emotions for matter way money involve brotherly.

In terms of investment, a person has to get strong emotional because if you don't have a lot of emotion, you can handle your investment. and that's why many people are often advise that before investing in any cryptocurrencies or project, we have to conduct a meaningful research and educate ourselves about how technology works.

This investment thing is not for the faint hearted because you need to be strong emotionally to fit handle the advantage and disadvantages that comes with investment. And again, you have to always have a positive mindset in what ever you are doing because it will help you a lot.

Well, if you are investing in altcoins, then you always have to know the risk before putting your money. There are some altcoins that get pumped once and are never pumped again, but instead will keep reducing in price. If you are unlucky to invest in such an asset, then you have to risk your asset. But if your investment is in Bitcoin alone, just hold on to your investment until the bull market has come. During the bear market, investors have the opportunity to even accumulate more, so if you have more funds, you can still accumulate more Bitcoin. If you are also trading, you already know that trading is about profit and loss, so while trading, you don't need to attach emotions.

The kind of emotions way dey for gambling nah also the kind of emotions way dey for trading but for Bitcoin investment e no dey like that, how? Because for Bitcoin investment you buy coins with the little money way you go fit afford and hold am for long term and you go get peace of mind after all that.
For trading op, after you done buy, you go dey watch the market how the price dey go, if the price dey reduce you go sell and you know say as long as say you dey lose money for your trading platform you go they vex, but if the price dey increase to the extent way you dey satisfied with you go still sell and nah also the the way way gambling self dey, I see am say people way join trading nah those set of people way they find sharp sharp money and e they result to either win or lose and nah this issue nai make long term Bitcoin investment take better pass.

Omo investment abi hodling get more benefit pass to trade oo because if you hodl btc, e no go disappear from your wallet, e go still dey dere no matter the volatility or drop wey come on top am . The worst wey go happen to btc wey dey your wallet (whether na your exchange wallet or noncustodial), e go still remain like that but the same no be for the trading oo, trading risky die and I hear say people dey lose on top am. So e better to pack one side and not do wetin you go later regret. To invest in btc na better investment for the future pass to trade.


No be lie but na for people wey want take the risk and go inside it . Like Shiba Inu been give people better money wey e rise and I think say the same thing go happen soon for the btc halving next year. Shiba na one memecoi.n wey people go still take chop next year.

A wise man once said that, "anything wey no concern love, then use your head; and not your heart", but me as a sharp guy wey I be, con add say, "even love get level wey e go reach,  you gats to stop using your heart and start using your head".

Making it big in cryptocurrency trading and investment no need your heart, but your head, the heart na im be the center of emotion, and even when they say make you pour your heart into this, wetin that one mean be say.. you are to be determined, don't be a one day on, and one day off kind of person, consistently plays an important role in making it big in this space, never get emotionally attached to any coin or project you invested in, and never get emotionally attached to any coin you are trading, buy or sell what ever needs to be bought or sold at the appropriate time, and never allow emotion trick you into buying a coin you shouldnt, and also, do not allow emotion trick you into not buying a coin you should have bought ...

I have negative emotions towards meme coins, and I swore never to invest in a meme coin, but before my very face, meme coins have made alot of my friends millionaires while I am still here .

If you wan succeed for this industry, you get to learn how to handle your emotion. Nobody dey talk say make we no get emotions (it's impossible to not have one since we as flesh and blood, emotions na a core part of our everyday life) but we supposed learn how to put am in its places. When e come like dis we supposed no fall victim to am. When you dey trade or you dey reasons wetin you wan buy in regards to cryptocurency investment no put emotion for front if not you no go know when you go make bad choices. Emotions na very serious matter and we have to deal with it or e go worry us later. The best thing to do na to remove emotions from your mind like make you just zero your mind dey do everything wey you dey do and no dey send anything wey go sup.


Commot emotions totally my brother when you wan do investment, e no matter of na Bitcoin or altcoins dem wey you wan invest inside, commot emotions make emotions no go make you do things wey go spoil your investment dem because if you allow emotion dey incharge na just rubbish outcome you go dey get. If you go dey follow emotion invest, na you go pack worthless projects dem full for your wallet. Try dey reason everything wey you dey do and make e be wetin your research dem tell you and not what your emotions is telling you to do because village pro for dey do you form village with your emotions and you go dey mumu think say e dey make sense.

First of all, you need to understand that it is our emotions that drive our actions, and as such, emotion is one thing that can never be over-emphasized when it comes to both in trading and investments, as the two has to do with both money & taking risk, and primarily, the main reason why people always scared of the fear of the unknown, in other not to lose the little fund they may have gathered over time. But that doesn't mean it's abnormal to be afraid in either of the two.

According to a popular quote by one of our modern billionaires, he said: if you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control your money. So before you go jump enter any investment for life, make you don understand the calculated risks wey dey inside and how you fit control your emotions with the market trends. I don see situations wey person don carry money put for better investment, but even though the investment was supposed to perform excellently, him use fear withdraw am back. All na because say we dey allow our emotions dey take decisions for us most at times.

But the thing be say investment na one concrete part of business and how emotions fit becloud our judgments on top the investments. Wetin I feel say e dey cause am most of the time na lack of deep knowledge and experience on wetin u wan invest on. Na why I go advise you say, e dey very important make u take decisions based on research, facts, analysis of how the market flows and not by the emotions wey dey drive you at that time.

And since emotion don turn part of human nature, then it is better to keep your emotion impulse in check and focus on the investment with a clean and clear mind.

Yeah that's true I made a mistake, thanks for the  notice.
Seriously I think this hit me so hard. I had my experience  investing in XML (stellar) promising then now it's down to the extent that all my funds are just gone .

I never did research  and I fell in for it although, that was my first investment ,funny enough have checked last it's been over a year on Hotbit but I still check the prices rise and falls it funny though not even to 0.0 lol.

Then I had a friend who invested into Shiba when it was still a shirtcoin van say now though , he made some cash from it due to the pump and there I was struggling with stellar lumen drawing backwards  like a car at the peak of a slopes road without break .

So I dea hers is research,if I've made research then it wouldn't have been a loss

OP, since you are talking about emotions in investment, this is a normal thing, and this is the reason why you must have a concrete knowledge on what you want to invest in so that this can help you control your emotion. When it comes to bitcoin investment, if you invest in a long term, this will help you control your emotion if bitcoin price is dumping or pumping because you are already prepared for it. Because you are not expecting profit so soon. If you invest in a short term this is when you will be worried about any slight change in the price because you are allowing the price to have effect on your emotion and before you know it, if bitcoin price goes lower than the price that you bought it, you might panic and sell due to FOMO. That is why the forum will advise to only use money that you can afford to lose when you want to invest.

There is a saying that where your money is, your mind will be there. This mean that so long as your money is committed to it, be it trading or investment,  your emotion will be involved. So, it is not bad when your emotion is activated whenever you place a trade or make an investment.  The art of managing these emotions is what shows how psyologically prepared you are.

You are not expected to be worried that emotions is involved in trading and investment because poor emotional deposition is itself a form of worry. What I usually advice is that while seeking trading and investment skills, also seek psychological skills because trading and investment is 30% skills and 70% psychology. This is the unwritten rules that every success trader and investor follows.

As a guide, the following steps will help:
1. Only invest what you can afford to lose
2. Before investing or opening the trade, determine your risk exposure and your profit target
3. You must have a trading or investment plan because planning eliminates a lot of mistakes
4. Be open minded and keep room for alternative possibilities so that you don't hold on to a bad trade or bad investment beyond when you should.

There are more but I believe you should have gotten an idea of the point I'm making.

There is no investment board on this forum. There is trading discussion, and speculation board.

If it is bitcoin. 1 BTC equals 1 BTC and any loss will only be an unrealized loss. Just be patient, the unrealized loss will become profit as bitcoin will increase in price later. If you go through bitcoin price history, you will see how bitcoin has been increasing to all-time-high.

If it is altcoin. There are over 25000 altcoins. Many of the altcoins are shitcoins. Before you invest on altcoin, make sure you make research about it. But know that altcoin can fail at anytime. Nobody knows that the old Luna and UST will become a failed project that are trying to revive themselves. I do not even think UST will ever become $1 again. Consider altcoins as gambling and many of them will not get to all-time-high.

I posted a thread recently  in the trading discussion, however, I thought  of bringing this to the local group I wan hear  opinion from my brothers I got some replies both negative and  positive  though and I wan make we discuss. Not everyone might like to talk on emotions  but let's  know that both investment and trading  get emotions to deal with  .

So the question is are we to worry about emotions not in trading now but in investment because  investment could get to some point and we will......... you understand.

I want everyone to flow with this thread , no diving deeper into investment that much in your replies please
