Individuals need to comprehend that all investments have their degrees of risk. Bitcoin can be much more or less unstable and volatile than other investments. This is why it is significant to be mindful before investing money. While losing in some cases is unavoidable, we can limit the gamble of losing assuming we know when to enter the market. Furthermore, for the new investors, draw in your mindsets the long-term potential of Bitcoin to avoid becoming emotional when you see the price going down.

Questions like this has popped out in several occasions and arguments concerning Bitcoin investment. My friends will say you must lose before you gain or rather have more experience investing in Bitcoin.
This is only true if you have no experience. For me, experience comes from many different sources. In the current 4.0 era, useful news and sharing are everywhere, so you can turn other people's experiences into your own, even though we're not really in the game yet. But it will partly help us avoid unnecessary mistakes from our predecessors, thereby making losses much less, and perhaps even not having to admit losses if you are well equipped with the knowledge and other people's experiences before actually investing.
My biggest fear is losing my hard earn to something as volatile, vulnerable and uncertain as btc. What's the possibility you invest without losing. Is it guaranteed in this kinda market?
No matter how solid an investment is, there is always a potential risk of loss, no investment is 100% sure to win. Even if you deposit savings in a bank, there is a risk of losing money, right? We can only reduce the risk rate by deeply and thoroughly understanding the field we invest in. Assess what its risk and return ratio is compared to other areas we can invest in such as real estate or stocks? The key is how much R/R do you accept? If you accept high Risk like this Cyrpto field, the Reward you will receive will definitely be higher than other fields, otherwise choose other safe fields like real estate and stocks. Don't look for any investment field with zero risk, it only exists in fraudulent projects. Grin

What does it in tell, cos am quite sure people had already known what's going to happen in the market in the nearest future to give them the strong mindset to invest porously.

It is possible to prevent losing your bitcoins in one go if you take a little precaution. If you carelessly transact and hold bitcoins it will be a bit risky for you also I don't think you will lose bitcoins any other way only if you buy bitcoins at high price to hold them for long time you might be in loss for some time but be sure. Even if you are in loss then you can definitely recover your investment later if you are in bitcoin investment and if you can buy and hold bitcoin at low price from the right market then you will definitely be in profit then you will never be in loss by buying bitcoin. But keep in mind that in Bitcoin you may be at a loss temporarily but remember that you will never lose all at once without being careless by investing in Bitcoin.

Not necessarily. You mustn’t lose money to gain instead you must be open to lose money to gain. You can invest in Bitcoin and your money never drops and rockets up to gains. But just bear in mind that it could be the exact opposite. So having an open mind is the best thing to do.

If its how it work, Bitcoin isn't for a low income earner as well as not gonna make you rich when you can't invest something tangible to it.
Bitcoin wasn’t designed for the rich. I can’t find anywhere on the whitepaper where Satoshi said that you should be rich. Instead, they made it possible for anyone to own really tiny bits of Bitcoin. Do not forget the main reason it was created (not to make money but to manage your money).

It's not easy as it is. If you are not well-versed in Bitcoin, the thought of holding on to your investment may not be the first thing that comes to mind. As a novice with little knowledge of the subject, it is common to feel afraid of losing your investment.
Fear of losing an investment or fear of losing the amount of investment value due to a decrease in the price of the invested asset is a very natural thing for a beginner. But for those of you who are no longer beginners in terms of your knowledge of Bitcoin, you can also direct those beginners who have started to like Bitcoin so that beginners can be more enthusiastic in trying to become better at investing and can have more confidence in Bitcoin. Because this can at least eliminate a little of the fear that beginners have.
Whether they do get some advises from those experienced one or not, they would really be naturally be able to learn up things along the way. Everyone starts on being a noob on which those mistakes and errors
are normal and with those things you would really be able to find for yourself on what are the things that you would be needing to do.Once you do able to have those experiences then it would be natural that you would really be making out those adjustments and its a normal approach for you to do so. When it comes to investment then losing is inevitable on which no matter how professional you are and no matter how
good you are but still you are prone to losses. The main difference only here is that once you are experienced, you do already know on what you would gonna do at least.

Making out those adjustments will really be just normal for you to do so. Bitcoin investment or any other investment then it wont matter. Diversification would really be that
best and it would be a better choice if you do have that capacity on doing so.

It's really not true, Why will we lose money on our first investment before making a profit? If we can't lose money when investing in bitcoin. The most important thing to know before deciding to hold bitcoin is that we need to understand it, we can't just buy bitcoin because we hear about it and assume that many people are making money through it. Let's invest for the long time whenever we decide to do so. If we invest for the long time, we will do well in the bitcoin market. Many individuals have lost money because they invested for a short period of time or  they didn't have enough knowledge about it.

Don't be afraid, you cannot lose money in bitcoin, mate. Just make sure you educate yourself about bitcoin before purchasing it, buy and hold for a long time, and earning good profits. Don't wait to buy bitcoin until you have a huge amount of money, some investors begin somewhere. You can begin investing with as little as you can afford because it involve a lot of risk.

It is not a must that you must lost to make gain in bitcoin,  but the reason why most of the beginners lose in the beginning of their journey in bitcoin is because they are new to the market,  their little understanding,  no much experience can make them to lose. This experience of lose gives more understanding on how to follow up the market better .
Some beginner when investing in Bitcoin and the market start dipping because of lack experience,  they become afraid and sell out which they will sell out to lose, but for those who have understand the market better they believe it is only hodling Bitcoin profit can be gained even if the market goes dip.

If you hodl and never in panic to sell when the market goes dip it is possible to gain profit in your investment without loosing,  so  far as it is bitcoin. Profit can only be achieved by just hodling.

BTC to the MOON in 2019
I'm not going to believe those words because that only happens to those who invest in Bitcoin without knowledge. Perhaps, we can avoid that from happening if we care to listen to others' advice and not invest blindly. Many people never lose from investing in Bitcoin because they manage it so well. In an investor mindset, the word losing is not on their mind, they'd find a way to earn rather than let their money cast in the wind. Losing is not an option unless we don't mind wasting our money but if we value that much, I don't think we just let it happen as there's always a way to save our funds from that situation.

The saying that you must lose before you gain is 100% not true and I'll give you a real life example.

I got interested in bitcoin in 2014 when I heard about the bull market in 2013 and the Mt.Gog collapse. Before I started buying bitcoin was already -70% from its all time high and the phase when I became bullish somehow fell into the realms of the bitcoin bear market. For the whole 2015 the price was mostly flat and boring and I never got any profit, but I saw it as a buying opportunity and started selling when I was Up more than 2x in 2017, which looking at it now was a mistake but we learn as we go, right?

It all depends on how you think of starting because I believe those that have such mentality actually started their Bitcoin investment journey with the wrong steps to follow it up. You must not lose before benefiting with your investment, in a case where there is proper strategy and planning then everything will be as simple as ABC. The DCA strategy is actually a method that has proven to have low risk and high good results if properly followed.

In a case when you did no research and have no understanding in what you are actually getting involved then lose of capital will certainly be the end result and also many people get into Bitcoin investment because of the huge made up story of how easy it is and you fill with thrills can just go and make blantant mistake and end up getting losses.

Part of any investment is profit and loss. There is no guarantee that everything will go smoothly in this uncertain market. But if you don't acquire enough knowledge about how to invest or hold properly, your chances of losing are inevitable.

Your investment time will lead to profit or loss. If your investment enters the bull market at the right time, you will not lose anything, but profit is guaranteed. And you won't lose money investing in Bitcoin in the long run. The problem is when you don't understand the fluctuations of the market, you don't have patience and you get panicked by the volatility and lose money.

I think you should do your own research instead of observing others (your friends). Become experienced by acquiring proper knowledge about investing in Bitcoin. Research for yourself that Bitcoin is not a weak, uncertain asset but the most secure and volatile asset. And if you don't have enough money to invest it, you can invest Bitcoin by adopting DCA method
Above all, we must remember that you invest what you can lose.

The advice your friend gave applies to those who have less or no knowledge about Bitcoin and how the four year cycle works, there is a 80% chance that such people will lose before they gain and that's even if they learn from their mistakes.

Let's not forget that some people became obsessed with hype which caused them to hold when others are taking profit, lack of knowledge is what will make them sell when the price already dumped instead of holding for the long term. The best advice I can give is learn before entering into any investment plans, don't just invest because your friends are doing the same.

There are best times to invest in Bitcoin and there are bad times to invest in Bitcoin, learn about this first or don't invest at all, those who got better at Bitcoin investment today must have wasted some time in the past, because it takes a single bear market and bull market for a beginner to wise up, some scared away and start calling Bitcoin a scam, those who stay learnt their lesson and prepare better in the upcoming bull/bear market.

It depends.

If you're a holder, the reasons you could lose your money is if you stored it in an online wallet and someone stole your Bitcoin, you lose your private key, or you completely forgot you have Bitcoin in your wallet.

Losing money on another situation like futures trading is inevitable, especially you really need to gain experience first before you could make a profit since luck won't help you with it. It's like, in order to be successful, you need to fail a lot of times.

It is not a must to lose before we gain but it is about learning first before we gain, and losing is not really what happens earlier but can be possible. We can avoid losing if we have an idea of what is Bitcoin investment is all about but too unfortunate that many are rushing and taking risks without knowledge. Of course, not a surprise this would happen to them.

That is why losing is not an excuse because we are new, we can do research prior to it instead. There is always a way to save our funds but many are on their emotions leading to wrong decisions.

I learned this over and over again about how one might experience losses when investing in Bitcoin and no that would have to happen if one were not greedy or lacked proper knowledge of market conditions. Simply put, you will never lose when investing in Bitcoin, if you don't panic and be calm in going through badly corrected market conditions, your investment will be fine because panic and impatience will only make you lose. I have seen the possibility of this happening and actually talking about losses only depends on each individual's knowledge in investing.

Even though the bitcoin cycle will continue to repeat itself and we can see the next ATH to talk about maximum profit. How big is the possibility of losing an investment in Bitcoin, it really depends on how knowledgeable you are in handling investments. You will never lose the results of your hard work when investing in Bitcoin, as long as you make the right and appropriate investments.

Why need to lose first if you know what you are dealing and how you need to deal with it?

Yeah considering about the value, we may lose first but as long as we are not selling the coins then literally we are not losing instead we need to wait for the right time to full out.

Example buying at 20k now and then the price drops below 15k the next day , this does not mean you are a loser because the Volume of bitcoin you are holding remained .
But when you consider selling this at that value then indeed you lose, but when  you keep Holding and in the next week the price  grows to 30k then this is winning.

prevent from  not expecting too much easily instead buy and consider holding first.

I think people exeggarate discussions a lot sometimes. Bitcoin is obviously not guarenteed income method. Its very risky and it reacts a lot compared to Gold or Silver. But in my opinion, its nature (limited supply) makes it rather safe investment method. Or we may say future-proof. Every other currency on market loses value. Even swiss Franc performed terrible if you check their data. But Bitcoin always competes with the best stocks like nvidia or tesla.

If you are a beginner and you don’t have much knowledge about bitcoin investment, then when you are trying to learn, you will have to lose first, you can’t just start what you don’t know about, and you think you won’t be losing even if it’s a little amount of money, so when you are about to start investment, you should have it in mind that losses will set in, but it should serve as motivation to you, that shouldn’t affect you.

If it’s how it work, Bitcoin isn't for a low income earner as well as not gonna make you rich when you can't invest something tangible to it.
Bitcoin investment is not how much you invest, it’s how long you can hold. You might decide to invest as low as $10, and hold for like 5-10 years, you might be making the same amount with someone that invested $100 and hold for just 1 year. Just imagine you invest $10 or $5 in bitcoin and you have been holding since bitcoin was created, just think about the amount you will be holding right now, so even if you have small amount to invest, just hold.
