Investing in crypto doesn't always make a profit and sometimes it is a loss,
especially considering the current market conditions which is not an easy thing to make a decision,
the most important thing is to keep trying and the more we have more experience it will also make us better
That is only viable if we are talking about a situation where you will get a loss and then sell it instead of keep holding it. This market doesn't mean a loss for the people who are still holding, if you buy at 50k and it drops to 30k and then goes to 60k and that's when you sell, you just made a 10k profit, so as you can see even after a drop that doesn't mean it has to be a loss.
But, if you buy at 50k and sell at 49k right away, even that would be a loss. This is why I always say that if it is bitcoin that you bought, then do not sell it for a loss ever no matter what is going on, always try to have more and more because that is how you make a profit.
There are tons of people who do leverage trading, margins, futures basically, and there are tons of people who use stop loss as well, and not like just 3% or something, people who used 50% and still lost, and there were tons of people who invested into Luna, a project with a stablecoin in the top 10.
So, even though if we are talking about just spot buying bitcoin and holding without stop loss, for many years, even decades, then you are right, but there are many people who approach this asset with a higher risk and reward ratio that ended up losing money as well. So you are right about your own approach, but people want to make money a lot faster than that.
