Topic: Stupid Bitcoin Traders (Read 972 times)
Continue to my experience: it turned out that after much study, I decided to ask my brother to stop investing in Bitcoin. And I also advise you to stop. Quite often many positive opinions about Bitcoin are tempting investors to invest in it. But I actually argue the opposite.

Because of the hype,new traders/bitcoin users just hopped in because of the hype it created last year i know many people like what you mentioned i told them to buy when its low they didnt and waste money on buying on the top price and they all crying same thing,the reason of being that stupid is they dont know what they are going in they just go because it is hyped.
Thats why people must understand that cryptocurrency is not just a area in which they can only profit,instead this is also an area that they can lose everything they invested 
It is best to refrain from giving investment advice to close friends and family. You can be easily be blamed if the investment goes wrong. This is true to any investment type, bitcoin or fiat. I would talk to my friends and relatives about bitcoin: its price and technical side. But I will not urge anyone to buy any crypto even if the price is really tempting. I let them decide on their own.

Here's my lesson for you:
1. Don't recommend investments to friends or relatives.
1. Don't recommend investments to friends or relatives.
I second this opinion. Under no circumstances, we should give any investment idea to your friends and relatives if it's not real estate. Cryptocurrency is already a very complex matter for a lot of people to understand! Talk about cryptos if you want and let them know about the technology, but don't share investment recommendations! It's not only ruins your relation but also you will become a villain for their financial losses. Enjoy the cake alone!
Just like what my brother did when he was encouraging me to study this crypto world,he told me to read alot learn things not just in my favor but what is this all about
He evn told me that never engaged into crypto gambling and never invest a single penny untill I totally recognized the meaning of losing behind gaining so thats what i do and i stay safe for atleast a year befoe i bought my first crypto investment
There are a lot of people like that, it is a normal situation. And the author just spends his energy and nerves, this is not your money, why do you even care about it at all?

ouch that was a bad story and i feel bad about your friend . anyway you did mention valas but idk what is it . i suggest that the next time you post try to use common words if not then its better if you can only stick on your local board ( no offense ) .
also , last january 2018 i dont think that the price was on moon but rather the price that time was starting to decline . buying that time is not a bad idea but selling at low ( much lower than his buy price ) is consider a bad thing .

That is why I never recommend investing in cryptocurrency to my friends or family. It's not good to tell them to invest into something they are not fully aware of because in the end they might blame you for their losses. Better to let them learn and find out about bitcoin investment by themselves.
Most people make that mistake, being skeptical because they are not aware of it's potential, and suddenly riding in and investing out of FOMO then losing a lot of money.
We are something different, I'll keep them aware of what I've been doing and I'll give them time to find themselves comfortable in doing this or not. Letting them to decide if they will go at risk as what I do and not forcing them. This is also away that they won't be far behind of what is happening in the world of currency and giving them some insights of how crypto will work for us, and maybe they'll be accepting the challenge at the right time. Most people make that mistake, being skeptical because they are not aware of it's potential, and suddenly riding in and investing out of FOMO then losing a lot of money.
I always advise you to invest only the money that is not a pity to lose. Without which you can live. And in no case do not take out a loan.

This is the story of majority of people. First time you made this mistake is ok because no one is born perfect and we do not know what will be the outcome. But again people repeat the same mistake. When Bitcoin is at 3.5K, they think its going to 1000$, so they plan to buy when it is more lower. Now when it is 5000$, same people ask "Should i buy now ?"
In my opinion, many traders operate in like manner and at the end, they all end up with lost because; they where unable to understand the movement of Bitcoin at that time. At any given in time; in the price of Bitcoin, many traders would think like this, i will buy when the market get lower than what the market is today. Stupid traders will always wish the price fall further before they buy.

They are not stupid, most of those ''traders'' are same, I mean that's not about the individual. Most people did such mistakes in the past, but they were very much into crypto so they figured out their mistakes and level up as a trader instead of coming back in the next season and repeating it.
they are only too eager to pursue their desires so that sometimes they are careless and finally repeat the same mistakes.I think they have to stop for a moment and start thinking about the best solution from the problem and try not to repeat it, namely patiently in everything including selling, buying, holding and making decisions.
You know what gets my gears grinding... My bubble to pop... My cheeks to tighten?
People who don't understand trading Bitcoin and are literally stupid about investing.
Here goes...
My brother-in-law is one of these idiota's - Let me explain.
I was all about telling him to buy into some BTCBTC when it was sub $300 back like 3 years ago. Just buy 1 or 2 I said - Whats $500?
He said NO, NO, NO - Not for me. So I left him alone about it.
Then come last year - When Bitcoin hit $15k - Guess what? He Buys In! *at the time I did a quick facepalm* Seriously buys in after it pumps some 50x...
Anyways - Long story short - He lost like $5k after the collapse and he sold.
Now a couple months back, I was suggesting that $3.5k bitcoin might be a good time to get in again and redeem his loses... Figuring it's like 1/4th the price he originally bought at.
And he says... "NO, NO, NO. Not for me - I learned my lesson"
No Dumb-Ass... You didn't learn shit!
Why is it - that people are so ready to buy AFTER it pumps 50X - And then cry or call BTC a scam after they lost their ass?
But won't touch BTC once it stabilizes after a collapse?

Well we do have the same situation but the difference is I did it to my friend.
Back when it was just around $400 I told them to buy some or at least try it but they all ignored me .
And when the price pumps up and they heard the news they bought some and guess what ,They lose so much of their investment and tried to ask me how to gain it back so I told them to trade but they didn't want to because they don't know what to buy and when to buy and sell it.
And I couldn't handle it so I just let them do what they want since they only saw it as a quick way to get money.

This is a normal situation, because I can not all be specialists at the same time in all sectors. Someone understands the principle of operation of Bitcoin and someone does not understand. But people who just want to make money without trying to explore the subject of investment is likely to lose money.
LOL, yeah totally shit mind set. It was not clear for him probably you did not explain to him how bitcoin trading works and how he could earn. A little bit of encouragement when you think it is good thing to buy and a little bit discouragement when you think it is not good to buy.
Just do constant feedbacking and definitely he will learn from it especially the right way to risk the money.
