I think the correct is, you only lose if you will sell lower than the price that you got your coin. We know that people in the world has different needs and investing some money in bitcoin or any cryptocurrency doesn't have any assurance that you will keep it for a long time because there are some scenarios that you need some money to pay the things that you bought or the things that you need. So as long as possible, just sell it for a higher price so you will not experience a loss.
Mostly people give up on their coins when their coins are experiencing some bad time or it is speculated that the coin does not have any secure future.

Such scenarios make the new traders panic badly, eventually making them leave their coins. Here selling will definitely be at price lower than that of buying. I don’t think so people deliberately sell at low to meet their needs.

That's true and I did too. But I learned from my past experiences. Weak hands tends to sell at lower price if the coins is dumping. You got nervous if you are losing. But if you have a good coin, like in the top coins in coinmarketcap there's no problem, it will rebounds later.

You got the correct lessons from your experience and the guy that opened the thread said the right thing. I investigate my past sell orders, all are in profit right now. At the time I sold them, I had thought I made profits. I was wrong.

The fact of the matter is that trade to date can bring a good daily profit and it is not worthwhile to spend all your coins to the end. Perhaps some interest needs to be left for storage and everything else to trade. Thus, you will have the incomes of reality needed for every day.

I don't really agree with you to some extent. All depends on your point of entry and compared to your point of exist. If you buy bitcoin when the market value of Bitcoin is low and sell when its value increase you have not lost anything in the process. Although some people sell out of panic and at the end sell below their point of entry.

Well, all this is just happening as a result of panic of what the outcome of 1st August meeting would be. It is a great avenue for investors to buy more and hold pending when the price double again. There is a tendency that the  price will decline more before reaching strongest support.
It is quite normal for people to make bad decisions when some changes happen specifically when the thing happened is quite unusual or new just like the spilliting of Bitcoin where its price is obviously dump on some reason resulting for people to sell or to panic on managing their Bitcoin. But see and look how this changes take place and what is the impact it made to the growth and development of price of Bitcoin for now.
Yeah, and majority of the same happens with people who are holding a small volume of bitcoin. Large volume bitcoin holders never panic as they have the chance of price manipulation. The small volume holders will be always in panic and focus to get the best which ends as a bad decision at instances.
Nope, if holder have a huge amount Bitcoin but they not have any knowledge, experience about the Bitcoin market and cryptocurrency world, they still loss their Bitcoin by panic and like newbie.

For me it's not a lose. The best strategy is sell at the peak and buy at the dip. You never know what's coming so better to take advantage of the ups and downs. But this is only for people who has all day to monitor the price of bitcoin but if you are a long term holder then there's nothing wrong.

The thing is long term holder is more or less sure to make a profit but short term traders can lose just as quickly as they earn. Personally I don't believe there are many traders that consistently make a profit so I would always advise people to just hold on to their coins.
There is no difference between them people are came here to see the difference if i tell you something in very simple words. So i would say that long-term investor struggle for their future while short-term investor don't struggle they just sell and earn some extra profit then go for another coins as well because they are only looking for money.

But in my point of view, long term investors definitely get more profit than short term investors. Because now i thought if i never sold my all bitcoins than in this time, i would be gotten 90% profit from my actual use of money. In 2015 i have 10 bitcoins and with the time, i sold them and now i have only 3.5 btc , now you could think that if i hold my all bitcoins then i would be gotten biggest profit from them.

You lose when you panic sell. Selling is part of trading and as long as you sell at a profittable rate, its not a loss. On the otherhand though, if you panic sell and sold coins at a lower price than when you bought it, that's the only time you lose.

If you make a profit can it really be considered loosing. Even if a month down the road you could have gotten more per coin?

Just don't consider you are waiting for more than a month, sometime it will take more than a month to recover profits on your investment.

Waiting all the time so thats how btc world is so if you have that know how to patiently waiting why not. Just to skip losing but it is a part so face it than run of it.

Not only bitcoin world but the whole crypto world is full fluctuations. We need to exhibit too much patience in order to succeed in the crypto market. I believe that if we are treating bitcoins as long term investment, we should be patient with our coins. They are assets of the crypto world.

most traders make the mistake of selling when they ought to hold. Trading is a games of strong heart and emotional control and this come through experience and skills including knowledge. For those who sell at lose some few weeks ago because of the August first issues can now see where the price is today $3,206. Op has said it all " you loss only when you sell" as far as you are holding you don't make loses but when ever you sell below the price you buy then you loses and you only sell below the price you buy when you sell out of emotions of fear.

With prices so high and still rising, it's difficult to be a trader right now. You think you are selling high and the price keeps going up and you may not be able to buy again unless you buy higher than you sold.

The only solutions seem to be to stop trading and just hold or start trading altcoins. So now I've stopped trading Bitcoins and I've found a few good altcoins to trade.
In my opinion if you are a traders and you see that prices of your coins is raising up, just wait for mean time until they reach the maximum amount. Otherwise sell only 80% or 70% of your coins and don't sell the whole amount of your investment. Always remain back-up savings on your account to  avoid regrets on your part especially when price are continuously raising up.

Many amateurs  traders has lose alot of money through sell they coins when the price take in the position of accumulate circle of the trading circle. Actually "you lose when you sell" and  many panic trader take this position most times.they will buy a coin at $2000 and sell at 1700 dollar.
that is right that those people who are very new in bitcoin trading they came in panic and sell their bitcoin even at low price for which they have bought it, but i think they should not lose heart because it is part of trading and though this way people get experience in trading. i am hopeful that next time they will show good result in trading.

good point, HODL for life! atleast that's what i think

Certainly the secret to become millionaire or earn profits from btc its holding the coin. If you keep buying every month then as the price rises and if you sell then certainly you will make profits . And if you have a greater risk appetite than holding will help you in long term to get mega profits . This is what in past we have seen for btc.

Yeah, Holding for a long time willmake you a good profit return than you expected  ,if you sell you will not use if you sell for something that have a real purpose.
