I know that there are many individuals here in this forum that are always looking on cryptomarket price for the crypto that they are holding. Always hoping that one might get a good market price increase. This is why one does overlook on real number of crypto that they are holding because they are always looking on the equivalent of the crypto to fiat money. It is not like that because the real thing that you should look is the number of crypto that we know it is not changing for example you have 6 BTC @ 6k USD and eventually market price drop to 5K USD per BTC. Even if market price drop you still have 6 BTC and that is not changing and you should not worry. You have to get worry when you have 6 BTC and after seeing some time you will have 3 BTC only. That is one thing that you should worry because there might be one getting into your digital wallet and transfer your BTC to other digital wallet.

The point is that though you still have the same amount of btc after a dump, the real question is that how much you could buy after a dump. Its a measure of value and not how much BTC you have. For instance, you buy a house using 1 btc but after a dump you cant do this anymore because buying a house at that time will require more btc because of the decreased value.

Where is my ring of blades...

this topic doesn't even make sense! you are basically saying that you should worry when your bitcoin amount decreases! how is that even possible? unless you sell or lose your private keys but that is not something on-topic!
as for not worrying about price, you should worry about it a little because at the end of the day you have made an investment. what you shouldn't do is not to lose your shit over a small drop or rise. invest what you can afford to lose and try to analyze the market yourself instead of listening to others.

The problem is, some investment companies are buying & selling coins in a portfolio on behalf of investors and they balance the portfolio according to, say the 10 coins with the highest market capitalization for instance. If this change dramatically, then Bitcoin might drop in market capitalization and when the balancing of the portfolio are done, then these investors will end up with less bitcoins. Roll Eyes

Price is important, depending on how you invest in Bitcoin and how your portfolio management is done. Roll Eyes

What would you do if most of your Crypto assets are doomed to fail by the marker crash? Holding on till one's assets becomes greatly devalued to nothing is not a wise investment strategy. The monetary value of Cryptos are dependent on fiat at the moment.

It's okay not to always worry since our holdings are always fixed and the quantities don't change with time as against market effect. But aside the consideration of Crypto technology and innovation, a lot of time would have been wasted in trying to wait for the market to recover which is part of the sacrifice in Crypto. Let it be noted that one must always look at prices because it's their treasure.

That would only make sense if you are using Bitcoins for doing things, and the prices of those things aren't changing with the BTC/USD price chart which happens all the time as the prices of even the things being sold for Bitcoin depend on the BTC/USD price chart itself. But if you are not using Bitcoins but are converting them to fiat for using them, then you do need to worry about the price as you will get only a half of $6000 for selling a Bitcoin if it drops to $3000, and that makes a really big difference.
Other than that, if you are not gonna use your Bitcoins very soon, then of course you don't need to worry just yet.

To tell you honestly it is hard to look BTC that way. Even if I know I still have that amount of BTC its real market value is what makes us know that our cryptocurrencies are performing well. Just like in the stock market you don't look at the number of shares thinking that you have a lot of shares from that company you always look at its price. Its quantity really doesn't matter if you are holding a worthless stock of a company and the same thing can be said on your cryptocurrency holdings. Price is really what makes your assets valuable or not.

Your comment will only look valid if we have loads of options to use our bitcoins in the merchant settlements without converting it into fiat value equivalent.

Yes its true, if there's another ways to spend your BTC without converting it to fiat equivalent the statement of the OP will be acceptable.

Yes maybe you still owned 6btc, but the things you can buy is decreasing,if you are an investors of course you are going to look for the value,

I totally agree with this because if you are an investor watching your investment falling down is the worst part, thats why I just invest the extra money that I have so that even if I lose it all it wont affect me that much.

Your comment will only look valid if we have loads of options to use our bitcoins in the merchant settlements without converting it into fiat value equivalent. But at the current situation, it is not a valid comment at all. Bitcoin doesn't have an intrinsic value or any purchasing power of its own. Its purchasing value always depends on the local fiat currency of the user.

Let's assume, you have 5 Bitcoins whose current value is (5 X $6,000) = $30k USD. Now you can buy a swanky car whose market price is $30k USD using those 5 bitcoin.

Tomorrow, if the value of one bitcoin falls to $5,000, the purchasing power of your 5 bitcoins will come down to $25k USD and you will not be able to afford that swanky car with your 5 bitcoins. It is true for bitcoins because it doesn't have any intrinsic value and it is always dependent on the local fiat currency price.

Your argument is valid only for government backed currency or a centralized currency system where we have some authority to ensure the value of that currency. In case of bitcoin, we have none!

The value of crypto that you are holding still not change after market price movements happen and that is the very good thing that one should acknowledge. It is not the market price that one should overlook instead it is the number of crypto that they hold. I do agree with you and you have a keen observation on most of the post here in the bitcointalk forum talk so much how market price moves but no one talks about how much crypto that they are holding. They should raise their crypto and should not follow all the time of the equivalent of their crypto holding to fiat money.
