FEAR

Proof-Astronomer7733

Simple answer: FEAR… You saw the same with : > Corona outbreak > Ukrainian / Rusia war > Israel / Gaza war and now with Iran / Israel. Nothing to worry about market will stabilize again, good moments to buy. Sorry to say but waiting for next conflict😜

Double-LR

SELLING BECAUSE YOU FEAR. There, I fixed it for you. That’s the proper title.

DanNotTheMann

When the market is full of FEAR, buy fearlessly. When the market is full of GREED, buy fearfully.

The ETF’s are a public space for anyone now to invest. The crash that happened to BTC happened without ETF’s or Institutional Whales in the picture (I’m assuming). But, I’m basing it off how retail investors or any investor who has a lot to lose in a new ETF would act if their investment goes down every week/month by 10%. A major sell off. All BlackRock and the Media needs to do is sell FEAR in the news of how much BTC is dropping. Whether they sell off their share in BTC won’t matter to the masses. The masses will only care about getting their investment out as soon as possible before it keeps crashing. Again, I don’t know if this is where it’s headed. I’m just basing it off the past 3 cycles and BlackRock with their Team of Analysts and Financiers have studied the cycle, this is true. For whoever held their bag of BTC when it hit $68K in 2021 … had waited a good 3 years to get to where BTC is today. I would hate for the masses on a GLOBAL scale to be stuck holding at 2025’s new ATH Peak for 3 years after. Also, gonna suck for those who sold off and truly lost …

Buy more. Buy the FEAR SELL THE GREED. I will scream this tillim blue in the face. READ THE INTELLIGENT INVESTOR. READ ABOUT SUCCESSFUL INVESTORS. LISTEN TO KNOWLEDGE FROM SUCCESSFULLY PEOPLE. Why? Because they buy based on information, NOT speculation. They buy when everyone is say that this is the bear market and we are all doomed, NOT when its going up. If your buying cos its going up, and selling cos its going down. Your doing it wrong.

Wait wait.. You are saying people who act on a FEAR of missing out also act on FEAR during a dip? No fucking way. That's ludicrous. What a hot take.

WarPlanMango

You already have some, if you want more then keep on doing DCA. You definitely let FEAR get the best out of you, and now GREED is kicking in. Just keep doing DCA, sit back and relax

Yo_ipitythefool

Yep ... people got auto sell at $100K ... but I think with patience it will hit $150K ... then FEAR sets in at that price ...

Party_Reflection3076

I would sell 0.75 of the bitcoin 12 to 18 months after the halving through DCA (so from april 2025 to oktober 2025.) Then i would start buying bitcoin 18 to 6 months before the next halving again through DCA (so that would be november 2026 through november 2027.) Enter all those orders and remove the emotions completely out of this equation. If i dont i buy high in FOMO and sell low in FEAR.

OGEntrepreneur11

Statistically, we should see not only a very large pullback, and a very very long capitulation shaking out the paper handed retail buyers. Although, with the ETF creating somewhat of an institutional FOMO, we may keep going. All is fair in Love, War, and Crypto Markets. The thing is- Risk mitigation, and patience, we never hit the top never hit the bottom, it’s very difficult to do, so dollar cost average and out. Keep diamond hands even if the market dips 90% hold if that’s what you decided to do. You never lose until you sell. Lastly- BUY RED/FEAR, SELL GREEN/GREAD. When your friends call and tell you they bought the farm think about selling. When everyone’s talking about how shitty it is, BUY!!! oh yeah, and for all bitcoin analysis, the best in the business on YouTube is Krowns Crypto or Eric Krown- dude saved my life!!!! do your own research and try not to read too many comments lol

The word FEAR and Bitcoin don’t even belong in the same sentence. 2 bear market survivor.

DCA when market sentiment is GREED / NEUTRAL. DCA + LUMP SUM when market sentiment is FEAR.

Bitter_Match4177

BTC is definitely the Apex Predator Asset you wanna own. it's hard for most people to stomach the volatility especially when you 1st start because of your FEAR of UNCERTAINTY &DOUBT In the future as your studies become true that BTC rises you will realize you need more& the sooner you go all in the quicker you will reach your destination . We the people have a pretty strong community we all are like a support system riding this financial free wave DCA, ignore FUD , Buy the dips & HODL do thy name. If we ever experience a 30%plus pullback take a break from looking at your portfolio you don't wanna panic sale just buy more& when you finally survive through a Crypto winter holding under pressure we shall call you DIAMOND HANDS little Bull. #BTC

Umpire_State_Bldg

It's caused by FEAR, and foolishness. When Bitcoin's price starts to rise, a lot of inexperienced 'investors' get FOMO: Fear of missing out. Without thinking things through, they pile into Bitcoin, driving the price even higher. Many of those people buy Bitcoin with money they'll soon need for other things: Rent, school, emergencies, etc. These people are very "twitchy." They're gambling. Their plans are not to "buy and hold long term no matter what." Their plans are to place their bet, then try to time their exit. Eventually, there's a shift in the price direction. The "twitchy" gamblers once more react to their FEAR and they sell, even if it means losing a good chunk of what they initially put in. Because they invested unwisely in the first place, they cannot afford to go and stay 'underwater', or, just plain fear drives them to "buy high, sell low". If they can be frightened into buying, they can be frightened into selling. Bitcoin's price volatility can't hurt you unless you sell. So just keep holding, long term.

It is literally FEAR, UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT. Here's a fact; with every wallet vendor you place trust in some form or another. Fact. (And if you can't see that you're dumb as a fucking plank).

FEAR your government. You should always FEAR that the will take your money, because THEY are in control. Not you. That's what democracy is all about.

Reefa513

Meh not really. Ftx collapse took it to 15.5k, it was safe to say that was bottom, especially understanding smbtc cycles, and length of bear markets. ALWAYS BUY THE FEAR! Imagine saying I'm not buying here at 15-17kz because you said I can buy at 12k, or 9k. Those people must feel extremely stupid right now. 🤣 AND that's how bears are born

People feel confident in bull run when they find everything in green but the real issue is red here can be so much messy that it is near to impossible to hold the FUD and FEAR

>hope for the best, prepare for the worst. we share this philosophy, and for me it practically translates into: hold, and set low buy limit orders. i also have a painting in my livingroom, it quotes: ''FEAR DOES NOT EXIST IN THIS DOJO''

it blows my mind that companies, especially Coinbase, that TRY SO HARD to stay compliant, literally ASK THE GOVT for help in staying compliant, and our fuckin govt slaps a big red label saying LAWSUIT on it instead of actually HELPING TF is that bullshit?! WHY is this bullshit OK?! begging for clarity, spending millions to achieve an answer, yet SEC says "nah fuck u guys we don't want it so we're just gonna point out all the things you've been asking for help for as u breaking the law". so, in terms of innovation, should any crypto project just "stand by and wait" instead of develop IN FEAR OF THE GOVERNMENT simply bc They don't want it. fuck the dinosaurs over there man

How should the US government approach the blockchain trilemma: security, decentralization, and scalability? Can these principles be adopted to the USD and other fiat currencies in order to address our NUMBER ONE FEAR of fiat currencies: devaluation due to centralized central banks endlessly printing more dollars/euros/pounds to keep their governments solvent?

1. Become the FEAR yourself. It works guaranteed

DrPechanko

telling them they are right, then show them the 200 "0" faced idiot shiller youtubes pumping their own bags, meme coin shilling BOTs in every comment section of YouTube, hacks on defi protocols across the board from 2017, and one interview with Sam from FTX. Scam, it checks out. Crypto has a terrible reputation, as it should. Give them this advice, buy these garbage space coins when they are cheap, and sell them when people "think" they are worth something. Only watch the FEAR and GREED index, ignore "chartists" and their scribblings and baloney predicitions. Buy in FEAR, Sell in Greed. Anything will do in the top 20-30. It all pumps based on BTC.....which is manipulated by whales and news sentiments.

Actually most of the time, in bull markets mistakes can be tolerated. There’s a reason for “ every one is a genius in a bull market” but in bear markets mistakes are deadly. However fear and greed are not mistakes they are what makes a market. As well as, FEAR > GREED

I prefer the combinaison of FOMO + FEAR of the market where you buy when it's pumping, and sell when it's dumping. Staying active, physically and in the market is great for you health!

So, Who is pulling the strings of Forbes. Just follow the money. Article is a complete hatchet job to instil FEAR.

Pdvsky

First of all there's the environment impact that is undeniable. Oh eth is now pos and is way healthier! Yeah, but btc will always be pow and in case it grows it'll cause more damage. Second, money only has value once either the large majority of people OR governmental entities recognize as such. What differs the piece of paper that has the government signature to the one I printed in my home? The government signature. Made up internet money is a complex mostly misunderstood topic for most users, people really think btc or any cc is just like printing a paper with the us dollar. They think anyone can make it out of thin air and can't understand how that's valuable since theres no tangibility. As of now, the entry to cc is confusing and dangerous, the minute you go into an internet forum(such as this one) you receive a lot of random "help" on your dm that end up stealing you . A lot of people in this space are extremely condescending and weirdly cult-like. And the funny thing is that most of these are the ones that know very little about the technology. 99.99% of projects in this space don't give a shit about the technology and want to get rich fast. Mostly people with little to no knowledge about either blockchain technology, basic economy or project management. Causing most projects to fail on the inevitable pyramid scheme like fall. There's no real incentive for institutions to start accepting crypto except from the theoretical rise in value. At least in a capitalistic sense. I personally don't agree with you on your fist argument, since its theoretically wrong(check DAO on eth) and also fiat money is mostly also irreversible and if we talk centralized it can be reversed the same here. Now my counter arguments: 1- environmental issue is being studied and has been solved by a number of blockchains, the inevitable drift from bitcoin is the only way to completely solve this issue, IF we manage to go mainstream this should happen. 2- once people start accepting cc as a medium of transfer of wealth it will have value. Be it either in exchange for goods and services or for interpersonal exchanges. 3- this one is pretty straightforward EDUCATION. Real crypto projects MUST focus on education of the masses and give incentives for such, and no financial incentives are not what will make a change, we need to philosophically change the way people see money and make them at least understand the premises of this new technology. Also we need more straightforward UI. Virtually noone knows how binary code works but most people know how to use a computer. 4- as any new technology people will try to scam other people, the only way to overcome this is by bringing easier, more straightforward and clear entry points, ones in which the average user don't need to come to reddit or telegram for help. 5- knowledgeable people in this space need to make their voices clearer, the only way to overcome "crypto boiz" is to show the average joe that those kids are to crypto the same as bullies are to schools. Every school has them, everybody hates them but they are the ones that make noise. 6- people that really care about the technology should stop focusing on charts and value and start making good projects in this space. Only when real projects start overcoming shit we'll make a difference. Don't get me wrong, shitcoins will always exist and as a matter of fact, they should as its intrinsic to the philosophy behind crypto for it to exist. But it need to be the minority not the majority. 7- this is the hardest one IMO, for crypto to really thrive, we need to kind of change peoples view of the capitalistic system we live in. The idea of money having less influence in political, religious and institutional entities would change the way the world spins per se. Giving "power to the people" and taking away institutional power is a very big change. IMO to make this we need to change money little by little, adoption must be gradual and Constant, it'll piss off a lot of powerful people(as it has being doing) and those people WILL cause real FEAR to the average person, if you go to r/all you'll see people hate crypto, and most have no idea how it works, they hate because the media, the banks, the powerful, all hate it(since it theoretically takes a bit of their power). We need to have strong weapons to counterpoint them, we need to be vocal. The only way for crypto to ever succeed is if we stop focusing on numbers and start focusing on the philosophy.

New_Accident_4909

Bull cycle - GREED AND FOMO Bear cycle - FEAR AND CAPITULATION And merry-go-round goes on and on in circles.

Tryingtodoit23

These are the reasons people hate it: 1. FEAR of change-if you are a gold holder/hoarder/silver hoarder, btc holder, or Tesla order, it's the same thing: you believe your community is best. And if your community is changing, you fear it. Imagine your neighborhood is going down in value and it's the real trend. That's what gold holders are dealing with -denial of reality. Gold made extreme wealth even relative to inflation in the 70s. It's a wealth preserver. it is NOT a wealth creator. 2. You think you are much smarter than you are, but you are actually lazy. This is my cohort. I got exposed to bitcoin in mid 2017-I along with my bosses and coworkers bought GBTC. 1 friend actually continued to learn. The rest of us didn't learn shit. We went back to our corporate jobs and thought we were smart because we made good money. My friend's cousin has 4 mill of btc...my friend still says "he's lucky". BTC and investments that have huge appreciation throw water on the fire of belief that "I'm smart". 3. \#2 PLUS you have taken no risk and you haven't put in the work. If I could actually reset myself to 17 and put a few hours into it, I would have come to this conclusion. This shit is volatile as fuck. Maybe it goes to a million, maybe it goes to zero. At the time I made great money. It would have been unnoticeable for me to put $300 a month into btc. I didn't. Do. Anything. I then took HUGE risk and paid a short term gut check. 4. Many crypto (but also bitcoin people) have made insane wealth and love to show it. Lambos, gold watches, crazy you tube videos where the pitch is "your dumb and poor" and "I told you so" make a lot of people resentful. P.S. I agree with 99% of what Schiff says. He's very smart. He is just #1.

FEAR. Crypto should bottom Mayish 2023 if following the Lehman collapse playbook. Meaning markets bottomed 6 month after Lehman brothers collapsed 9/2008 during the great financial crisis. I’m betting 6ish months after FTX declared bankruptcy will be cryptos bottom.

StockTrix

Well last month, the [Fear & Greed index](https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/) was at an EXTREME FEAR low rating of 23. This month (with an even scarier 12% drop across most alts), the Fear & Greed index is higher - toward greed at 26. What does this say about us? The more the price drops, the more greedy we are?

If the fines fit the crimes they would not be in business. The penalties have no effect other than become a cost of doing business passed on to the customer. The fines are a settlement, paying off the government. They need to be put in jail and out of business and lose the right to operate. Only then will there be some compliance. As of now there is NO FEAR the chances of getting caught are SLIM to None

AwkwardDilemmas

What is stopping you from buying this bear market? THE FUCKING FEAR that this time will be different, and the BTC is going down this cycle. Right down town, to zero. Saying that it's inevitably going up is merely you taking a 50:50 gamble on that thesis. Nothing more.

Chysce

It's been max fear since.... Ukraine war (Nuclear Threats), Luna Collapse, FTX Collapse... everything was GIGA FEAR... and we still keep on dippin. At this poing targeting the bottom seems impossible. My plan is to DCA heavily in the next 18 months. Bottom should be there somewhere.

Bullish on FEAR

Still_Lobster_8428

Algorithmic stable coins can NEVER stay stable over the long term.... The single thing every Algorithmic stable coin overlooks is that the capital within the ecosystem is NOT trapped there. When things start going sideways, instead of capital flowing to the coin that backs the stablecoin (like us designed), there comes a time where enough people FEAR a crash so they withdraw their capital OUT of the ecosystem! As soon as that happens and outflows exceed inflows of capital.... it's game over! The peg can't be maintained Algorithmically and it goes into free-fall. Even backing stablecoins WITH other crypto is the height of stupidity! It doesn't hedge against a crypto market downturn. The backing assets are supposed to be a hedge against crypto market movements. And stablecoin that uses crypto as the backing assets carries constant systemic risk and opens the way for a "black Swan" event that sees it depeg and crash. All these developers for Algorithmic stablecoins discount the 10% outlier events as to guard against them means the stablecoin can't operate. So they address the 80% of risks and discount the 20% outlier events as improbable.... But get a black Swan event and the improbable can suddenly shift into the reality and tge Algorithmic stablecoin by its very design can't respond to these outlier events and goes into free-fall! You couldn't pay me to hold any of my net worth in a Algorithmic stablecoin!

FUD has lost its true meaning **FEAR** did the hack cause fear, yes. Still to this day people fear the dump of these coin and the affects on the market **UNCERTAINTY** did the hack cause uncertainty, yes it did nobody knew what was going to happen for many many years. Nobody knew if they was going to get their coins back or not **DOUBT** did this hack cause doubt, again yes it did. People doubted BTC could survive with such a major hack, there’s so much doubt people still talk about it today that it will continue to affect the market when the coins are finally released.

No FEAR! I eat bear droppings for breakfast! After I wear them as a hat of course...

dr_van_nostren

I’m neither a bull nor a bear here, but I think the title is missing a position lots of people would have. That is that they’re not buying it now not because they hope it goes lower but because they FEAR it goes lower. I don’t think BTC goes to 0. But could it crater to 10k, then kinda stabilize there? Maybe, I don’t know. Is it more or less likely it goes down? No one knows. But the complete collapse of basically the entire market and the crypto market, add in the cost of living and stagnant wages, finding surplus money to invest is tough and even if you have it, might be better to just hold cash now or buy a stock you’re confident is way undervalued based on the underlying business, as opposed to the speculative nature of crypto.

TraditionPuzzled6644

They’re overreacting and creating a self fulfilling prophecy. It’s kind of funny in a way. “Oh my God, a 0.1% inflation increase! QUICK, SELL EVERYTHING AT A HUGE LOSS!!! AGHHHHHHHHH 😱” Then they look at the charts THEY CREATED and wonder why everything is red. They’ll blame JPow, Biden, Trump, Janet Yellen, et al. Even though a 0.1% increase shouldn’t have any direct effect, nor should a CPI report. It’s people freaking out from this shit that creates the very market that makes people fear CPI report releases. It’s FEAR that causes a market crash, not the actual inflation increase. That’s why markets crash before the report sometimes. Doesn’t even matter what the content of the report is.

Let me invert the question; Is there anything you hate enough to organize and spend money and time on pulling together like-minded "haters" with the intent of "group hating" on this thing? In other words: what drives this motivation? Fun? Hate and fun are not usually paired... That leaves a few options: Anger? Sure, [but know that anger is a product of fear](https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/hot-thought/201811/how-fear-leads-anger) Fear? YES. Even if they are angry about it, they are angry because they fear it. We fear what we don't understand, but not typically until that thing becomes "real" and "present". Years before the idea of Crypto was in people's heads, they didn't "actively" fear it - but as soon as it became a thing that (in their uneducated understanding) brings risk to status quo (the fear of change is the most pervasive fear) or maybe affects their livelyhood (probably a bunch of bankers, who fear their entire economic structure is at risk here), fear kicks in. Nothing else satisfies the "why?" of organized hate. FEAR.

Bitcoin is the currency people choose because of its inherent integrity and open source characteristics. Bitcoin treats ALL PEOPLE equally WITHOUT FEAR or FAVOUR. Fiat currencies are state imposed monopolies mostly operated in practice by private for profit bankers who create over 95% of all fiat out of thin air as debt over citizens businesses and governments. The fiat debt slavery cartel is the largest most profitable and powerful cartel in human history. CBDCs extend the monetary leverage powers of fiat and increase greatly the potential for state surveillance and sanctions on individual citizens. Bitcoin is a relatively small, but ethically superior in many ways alternative. USD vs DCEP vs BTC Ladies and gentlemen please place your bets.

If it was a possibility/probability why didn't you sell. I know why. FEAR of missing out on greater imaginary profits. Every amateur investor's curse sadly.

You buy undervalued cryptos like NEAR, UTNP, and CNDL when we are in FEAR and sell when we are in GREED.

"Everyone, even in developing nations, has a phone now and you can manage all your money and bills and payments on a phone now, and so value is more so digital now and is being concentrated in our pockets. Our phones are an extension of us." Apple Pay seem to have it covered. And most banks also allow purchasing via phone, using VISA or Mastercard. I accept that there are a minority of individuals who FEAR the current system of banking and finance. But they are in a minority, which will IMHO remain a minority. Minorities are not going to achieve your aims for Bitcoin. Truth is that most in Crypto are looking for a quick buck and are hoping that some kind of currency use dream will provide that quick buck. Seems to me that the quick buck part has already happened, and things seem to have changed. The huge increase in price has happened, it has now collapsed. There is going to have to be a huge increase in buying to reverse the current trend. Given the current economy I do not see that happening. Also the constant reference to bitcoin as a currency is folly, it is a speculative asset, not a currency. The price of Bitcoin is underpinned by confidence, just like the dollar. BUT, FIAT has one advantage. You HAVE to accept FIAT for the payment of debt. This somewhat underpins the Dollar and other FIAT currencies. There is no such underpinning of Bitcoin. Also, all this inflation proof baloney, it hasn't done so well over the last year. Also if you are basing the valuation of Bitcoin on the dollar, and Bitcoin has lost 20% over the last year against the dollar, the dollar has also lost 8%. You do realise that means that the 'real' loss on Bitcoin regards its buying power was 28% over the year. I'd suggest there are better locations for your hard earned cash.

"Turkey is crafting legislation that would establish greater control over the cryptocurrency market" That is what EXTREME FEAR is. What will be out from this.

G&F Index: EXTREME EXTREME FEAR

It follows the news and news follows the short term change in price, not the actual price. 30k was FOMO in January 2021 and FEAR in may 2021. Notably cause the first time we went straight up and in may we crashed back down.

yep, been there life wise, but I am lucky enough to FEAR debt these days after crawling my way out of my student loans. I'd rather be dirt poor than in debt to someone. But that also helped me by only investing what I COULD afford. All my bills are paid and I got $300 left over this month???...that's my DCA for the last 5 years. Even that paid off.
