Memechallenge #23: Entry 1 - Death by Crypto

in memechallenge •  7 years ago  (edited)

One of the hardest lessons I had to learn trading cryptocurrency...was to NOT PANIC when prices fell. My gut instinct was "OMG OMG!!! My account value is falling. I've got to SELL NOW!"

But as the basics say...buy low...sell high. This reaction goes directly against that. (Not saying there's never a time to cut your losses.) More often than not, things bounce back, giving you a much better chance to minimize losses, break even or maybe even get back into the positive.

Moral of the Story: Panic is Counter-Productive! And don't bet what you can't afford to lose!

Don't end up stressing yourself to death like this guy.

It's great to hear some optimism @sykochica
There's quite a few, prominent, voices saying this is the beginning of the downfall,but i think that we're in for an upswing!
Steem on!

I of course could be wrong. But yea...I've hear the call for the end soooooo many times. It reminds me of almost yearly predictions of the end of the world...and yet we're still here! Lol

Right... "it's always going to be the end of the world, next year", says the coked out preacher lol

I think I heard about that too: https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoinobituaries

Man I learned that lesson years back during the "Tech Bubble" in the late 90s flipping .com IPOs. Panic, Excitement, Panic, Regret - repeat. LOL

I love how that spells PEPpeR!

It's a conspiracy by coca-cola..I knew it!! Lol

LOL that's a trip!

thanks.. at least with steem it was. 0 investment up to 400$ Can't complain either way!

I totally hear you there! While it's different when investors...I laugh a little when I hear people tell me it's a scam. I've paid in nothing outside my time and reinvested earnings. But it's only paid me with no cost. That's hard to beat. lol

Taking emotion out of trading is one of the hardest things to do however its also one of the smartest things you can do. When others sell off like crazy that very well could be your chance to buy and win big!

Wow now that's divine intervention - I just totally wrote a post about this a few hours ago while urging everyone on Steemit to stay calm during this bear market! Great minds think alike ;)

And look there's that guy from NCIS...or CSI....or one of those crime shows I can never really remember very well. Oh well, haven't watched any TV since I joined Steemit a month ago lol

Great minds think alike ;)

Definitely!

And yea..I'm with you..he's from some crime show...no idea which one. Lol. But I'm sure somebody on here will enlighten us. :)

Haha yup someone on here eventually....Bueller, Bueller?
The last crime show I ever watched was Psych and that was only because it was laugh out loud hilarious! :)

Hehe...honestly..I think that was the last one I watched too!

Wow I would say the "great minds" line but I think I already used that...
Still waiting on a spinoff with Gus or Officer Lassiter ;)

awesome. you great

Good advice, I also learnt my lesson never to sell :)

Absolutely, never a need to panic unless you are over-leveraged, hehe.

Omg Omg

Yep, same concept with stocks. Gotta train yourself to react logically, not emotionally. You make much better decisions that way!

LOL....oh yeah, I'm gonna have to do one of these!

😂😂😂😂

When crypto drops it is like a guillotine. Not fun :-(

Blame it on Soros

Love this. so true!

I didn't know you ran a steemit podcast! How cool is that...Going to give it a listen tomorrow while I'm working. So neat!

I want to be apart of these Meme challenges. I feel like I can do some good ones. When does the initial challenge start? Do you put up a blank picture?

Oh..I just realized I still had last weeks challenge link in the post. That's fixed now.

@fibra59 runs these weekly...here is the current one. It's only been running 2 days, so you've got another 5 days to get entries in! He selects the picture each week, and we all have to make the best memes we can from it. :)

Oh how fun! thank you so much. working on it now!

Risk takers always enjoy. Don't panic. Buy more when it's down and reap more when it goes up

Thanks to the Global Banking Cartel
some are locked into whatever crypto they have access to
and can only watch with nausea what happens to crypto values,
unable to sell in a meltdown
regardless of whether it is momentary or not.


Which is a very good thing at this moment in history
because fiat has a future with a panoramic view from the edge of a cliff.

Good post...
