Trader's tell you "Don't FOMO" for a reason!

in bitcoin •  7 years ago  (edited)

Faith, a consistent effort and your own guarantee, that it's going to happen.
Fear is the mind doubting your faith, or realization of your ego allowing you to make the same mistake more than twice - which is a solution to save humanity from its end -- in all that matters.

So today, I covered my short, took a decent chunk of a loss averaging up. Exited all but a small portion of crypto to USDT while moving more to my short. If I don't see a pullback(after retesting 9k), I will keep on covering.
You call it a bull run, I call it parabolic growth with 0 test of support and it will be a giant slide -- WEEEEEEE --- if the littlest thing happens.
(Right at 9k as I was typing this, we saw it, it took very little to start it moving down.)

Let's say this. If we see 10-11k, before retesting 8k, crypto is gonna have a rough year. If we see 14k before an actual retest, you're homeless.
At that point, I won't even bother shorting, I'll cash out and wait for the bottom to buy for keepsake, as a reminder of what It could have been for retail, If you just listened.

We say don't FOMO for a reason.
Our Market is just a history built on patterns of human behavior.
We say everything repeats, because we never tried to do the opposite. Decentralization is a history we are writing now. Are you?
If you don't - then what are you doing? Next time you trade, try to call the moon for X1000 gains. If It doesn't work - call again.

Will the Market fix itself? - Yes.
Will It be at the cost of all #hodlers and retail investors if this continues? - Yes.
Will I still have more BTC then I do now? - Yes.

But I wouldn't be at #crypto at that point, because the purpose of decentralization would dissipate and be replaced by exactly what we wanted to escape from. If you came here for the dream, If you came here as innovator, If you wanted to be the leader of your own life - stop being a sheep.

To all of you, who is chasing #americandream. Remember, we are not here for the price, we are here for the value.

Make smarter decisions, and don't just fly in on every green candle. Greed will be your downfall if you continue doing this.

It’s almost comical, the same ones that fomo are ones that panic sell. You can somewhat say they are the the reason for the wild swings.

Sometimes I feel that this world is like being in the jungle and not just on vacation, much to learn.

Between the thin order books and panic buyers and sellers id absolutely agree!

Hilarious. Great job.

Even with labels and warnings and information some humans are still going to make the wrong decision. It is amazing how they fall for so many traps. Like the OTC stocks who change their name and description to crypto and blockchain. Dumb people bought the name change with no evidence that the employees even know what blockchain is. Now all those companies share price has collasped.

Just unbelievable.

Omg I remember seeing some random stock like 100x because it added Blockchain to their name. It's absolute insanity. It's the same people who stare at Binance all day and are like woonits going up dump all into the fomo coin first pullback "noooo market sell market sell" lol.

Great article and very informative, thanks for sharing. I've smashed the upvote button for you!

Lot's of FOMO currently and I think the bears are top fishing. We are due for a pullback after this run. I'm watching for a pullback into a cup and handle, or further consolidation into a weekly equilibrium. Screen Shot 2018-04-22 at 8.41.51 AM-1.png

Yeah we are constantly trying to Pierce that daily cloud, and we are due for a pullback legit yesterday. This has been a great distribution phase and we need to markdown and reaccumulate. So we can build a nice support floor. Thank you for sharing TA we need more of that here!

Thanks for share, it is a usefull post.. I appreciate it..

Brilliant post! Absolutely agree with your points.

As FT quoted Vitalik Buterin talking about everybody's attitude in the current Crypto climate: "Lambo[rghini], vrromm, buybuybuy now!”. I guess it says it all!

While the excitement to find the "next Bitcoin" will always be there and is what brings new money to the space, I truly believe that we need to self regulate better and offer as much help as we can to newcomers on TA and FA in hopes they do not continue down the same paths we did. The problem truly is that people came here for instant money, and several made out well, they spent it terribly thinking we would never come down, and now they are in a bad financial spot because of their poor money management. Sadly the only ones benefiting is old money, which also happens to be what we wanted to get away from and create a better future for ourselves.

I could not agree more!

Resteemed. Thank you, my friend.

Thank you!

yes fomo is reason 😂

#fomolife
I mean we have kids buying 100k SATs saying they are rich now.
Everyone has that one friend who was broke in 2011, and now sitting in a penthouse.
They all think they are gonna do the same and don't miss out. Turn that $100 bucks into a million.
They don't understand that institutions will rekt them and that moment when it feels like we are gonna go parabolic again, and everyone is losing their minds "moon" "lambo" "#hodlgang" and it's gonna dump. Like dump dump.
Like wyckoff distribution over time for markdown and fomogang will not understand and dump with it and we will eat it up :)

good afternoon community. I feel cheated since I lost 0.500SBD with this BOT @anonwhale. since I transferred to him with so much sacrifice 0.500SBD since I saw that they offer that you resteem your post and they give you 25 positive votes. which have never come since yesterday that I use this bot. How sad I feel since it was not easy for me to gather those SBD!
I hope this message greets you from Venezuela

The truth is that if you cannot think long term, than maybe cryptos aren't for you.

Do yourself a favor, read about decentralization. Then read this post again. I’m sure you could give a smarter “insight”. However, if you can only think long term, then maybe life is not for you, Mr. “ I just know how to hodl.”@zemiatin

I absolutely agree, and while thinking long term, I look to DCA to the bottom of most alts and take profits when they hit my targets.
When thinking long term, My logic is how do i accumulate more in the best and most efficient way for long term growth. My USD value is irrelevant.
I see USDT or USD as a 1x short rather than preserving USD, and the goal is to ensure I have the most BTC possible by the end of each year.

Informative...

Mostly Just stating an issue, that we as a market continue to make.
People Love to buy when it is green, and sell when it is red.
When we need to be doing the exact opposite.

While this post was mostly a reaction to the entire market and massive amount of spam I am seeing of "moon" "lambo" "bulls are back" rather than giving information on how to mitigate risk, or increase your position, or how to DCA.
Which I would much rather be doing, but honestly people would rather fomo than learn TA and understand market psychology.

Buying and hoarding cryptos is a great business but not an investment in my own opinion. As you need to follow the market trends and any little bearish movement, one developes a blood pressure. But since it takes risk for one to hit it big, we really need to apply the above mentioned principles. Thanks.

I think we have a liklihood to transition to more of an investment mindset, esp since we are seeing the ability to make securities on the bitcoin blockchain, (bruce fenton did a podcast on that yesterday).
While I see a lot of fomo around nonsensical projects, I do reaffirm my position that several have amazing value and have longterm use.

It has become a great business, between my OTC work, as well as margins, and trading it has allowed me the freedom to be anywhere in the world working and take care of my family. So i will never be upset no matter where this ends up. Ive been in the industry since 2011, and I never ever thought we would make it this far.

As for some, having a long term value and use, I totally concur. Congrats for your success with the coin for these eight years. It's really fantastic *to you * and motivating *to me *. Thank you as I follow.

i was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time, building and moving the industry forward, while holding onto what we have is the hard part. I feel there will be massive shifts of who has crypto wealth by the time we are out of our infancy, and look forward to seeing you grow!
