I know some coworkers that sold BTC today, they are real casuals, they got into BTC because they heard it went up a lot, they don't know even to set a local wallet so they store their coins on Coinbase or wherever the fuck they buy at.
Well, they sold today at at the dip near the $4000 double bottom.
The irony is, these casuals are the ones that are always complaining about how it's unfair that BTC is distributed in the hands of few whales, YET, they are the ones that constantly panicsell and give their cheap BTC back to these same hands they are complaining about, because guess who is profiting the most on these dumps: whales. They buy lots of cheap BTC.
If you want whales to stop having so much BTC, don't panic sell or you will keep feeding them. Just focus on your own portfolio and keep stacking BTC on the dips. In the long term, we will win.
Having unwavering will and a heart of stone can be achieve through experience. The market is getting stable and people are learning how to trade. Fake news are everywhere and hypes about dump and pump is making people like fools (including me in my early days in the trading industry). Bitcoin is not an alt, so dont compare uts market to altcoins, the only way of its price is
UP.
It is really just an irony just like the OP have said. Experience for sure is the best teacher and most of these panic sellers often learn their lessons and understand that FUDs are always created by whales purposely to make them have what they want knowing there are still a lot of weak hands in the community who still have shaky feeling, only for them to gullible fall for the pranks too and dash them their money.
Let's look at it like this, if your fiat is getting devalued, except for a trader who probably is into trading professionally, will you dump your fiat? Bitcoin should be seen as a currency with a lot of hope and support built around it, and that should make everyone believe in what they are holding.
