Long-term planning is essential in crypto space

[Rubel007]

As for the long-term investor, he does not care about all this news. He sets a specific goal in front of him in the future and is not affected by all this news or rumors, and he only sells when he achieves his goal.

Another big advantage of long-term investors is that they can stay . without fear because sometimes big market declines are too hard for many investors to bear. But those who invest with a long-term plan need not worry about market volatility. A short-term investor always has to be concerned. He always has to monitor the market news. Even after knowing all the news, he cannot give any certainty.

long-term investors will not panic if losses only reach 25% of assets, because long-term investors already understand all the cycles in crypto so that if there is a downturn they are prepared to load up even more

Exactly a long-term investor never needs to gain momentum in investing. The level at which the price falls does not change his position but he tries to use the dips to try to increase his portfolios. The crypto market is volatile in nature and any time the price rises and falls make an investor restless and there is no substitute for long-term planning to protect oneself from all this.

In the cryptocurrency space, when we expect a certain bullish trend  in any particular coin, we may not get it exactly as expected, but rather different behavior may be observed. Many people take these behaviors differently. During the period we would like to see a bull run in Ether price due to ETFs approval but there is no change in the price in this currency. My main point of bringing this topic here is that there are many people who try to invest with a specific event in mind but they don't always succeed in that goal. The only message to those investors is that success in the crypto space requires patience. Even if it is not good for us at the time we are expecting, we can get more than that expectation in the future. Of course, investors must have a long-term plan before investing.

Long-term thinking and patience are always necessary in any market, especially crypto. However, patience is not enough to make big profits in this market. Each important market event can be the start or end of an uptrend, and their impact depends on the time they occur.

I still remember the BTC Future ETF approval event in October 2021, which created excitement and FOMO, but we saw a bull-trap when BTC failed to reach $100K. Now, we can easily recognize that this news came out when the market was at the hottest point of the bullrun 2021 to create a false belief in a super-cycle, giving whales a wider distribution range wwith better liquidity.

On the contrary, for BTC & ETH Spot ETF, we are in the early stages of this bullrun, and I believe they will have a positive impact in thí bullrun to drive growth for the entire market. I am not really concerned about their short-term impact, as there are always buyers and sellers in the market. We should remember that in previous cycles, when we did not have Spot ETFs, the market still grew impressively and brought profits to wise investors.

Yes, that saying becomes relevant when it comes to the crypto space, because in the crypto space it is the same, we cannot understand and take advantage in a very short time.

Maybe along the way we will be faced with problems that can shape our mentality well for the future. Everything we experience and everything we feel becomes very meaningful, and once again we must have enough patience.

It is just like a sailor sailing on the sea. The more the sailor encounters rough and stormy waters, the stronger they become. This encounter gives them experience that they could be able to share or pass on to others who wants to grow under them. This I explained is still applicable to Crypto. So anyone who wants to understand the Crypto space must be willing and ready to face the storms involved be it a trader, and investor likewise a freelancer too who is paid in Crypto too is likely going to face the storm in Crypto. It is just like that and to be able to withstand this, one must be patient enough so as to grow and if otherwise, they are not fit for Crypto and should stay very far to avoid situations that could cause them possible health challenges or anything.

Once again you say something good, sailors who often encounter storms, they will know better how to survive the storm. They will act calm because they are used to dealing with it.

However, if someone is going to sea for the first time and they are immediately faced with a storm, then they will feel great fear, because they are not used to it.

So here's what's interesting, when two people with different experiences are in the same boat, the more experienced person will be able to calm the person who is facing the storm for the first time.

That is how it is on Crypto space. Newbies needs oldies in the Crypto space to survive. They would need ideas, advise and experience to muster forward otherwise, if would be very challenging for them. As it is now, waiting to have the experience is some how dangerous because that would cost one time and delay but when you have encounter with someone ahead of you, they share their experiences and how they were able to overcome such challenges, you would definitely learn from it and apply their solutions to same occurrences to cushion the side effect to minimise or forestall any further occurrences.

Many still overlook or don't know that crypto is for long-term. Although, I profited from longing ETH during the ETF announcement but I still expect new all-time highs. But currently, I'm watching the market closely while diversifying into select altcoins paired with ETH through Bitget's smart portfolio. If those altcoins outperform ETH, this strategy accumulates more ETH for me.

[bitterguy28]

Someone who invests in Cryptocurrency aims to make a profit, and of course, if possible, the investor hopes to get the maximum profit.
Of course, before investing, investors have thought about how long they will invest.  If their investment is in a crypto project that has the potential to be good in the long term, then they will definitely do that. 

plans are there and target as well but always ready for sideways or advance decisioning , because this market is unpredictable in which anything may change in a glimpse of an eye

Most definitely.
The crypto market is highly unpredictable and full of uncertainty and it'll be quite foolishness for an investor not to prepare for those days that things won't go just how you plan them.
It's pretty me okay to hope for the best but at the same time expecting the worst while dealing with crypto currency investment, especially for people who are into altcoins investments too.

yeah , and good thing is that people are learning more and more now because of what they are learning here in forum
and in the another, because we are constantly reminding them about the method and the strategy we are doing and
hope they will apply as well

there is nothing best in diversified folio mate so better do as that in the coming bull market.

Obviously, many do not have that long term holding experience. Some people were so fortunate to have had like x100 as a result  of their early entrance into a market, some were able to purchase at the ICO or IDO stages of projects token or coin sales which gave them good advantage of selling high and taking good profits. That is why most times you see posts and comments of some crypto enthusiasts who do not really have the trading and holding for long experience. 

They do not really know what it means holding for a long term since their entrance into the Crypto space was very smooth  and they made huge profits without any stress. For instance let me use the notcoin  that just launched last week or thereabout, you will agree with me that the project saw lot's of Crypto newbies into the the industry and some of them have not had the Crypto experience and they made good money from the project as a result of their early entrance. These are the sets of people to that would cry and complain when eventually they invest in token and it drops in price  because they have not really have the experience and idea on how the industry is. So long term holding alone is a kind of a strange thing to them.

Yes, I would also be happier if there was someone who was a beginner who wasn't embarrassed to ask about what they didn't know. Because by asking questions they can expand their knowledge in this crypto space, and I'm sure we will also be happy to answer their questions, as much as we can.

Because there are also some people who don't want to ask questions, and act as if they "pretend to know", even though they don't know what they are doing.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

         -    Well, I believe in long-term planning. To be honest, if you are a long-term holder, you should know when you will exit your earnings, and you should also have a target price and estimate how many years you will hold the asset that you will also buy.

Because if you don't have these plans, you will have a hard time for sure. It seems like your decision will be afloat if you do this.

We can give them suggestions, but in the end they themselves will make the choice.  We all learn about cryptocurrencies from everywhere, and this forum provides a lot of knowledge to us. 
Because in fact this cryptocurrency is the currency of the future, where over time crypto will become more popular in society.  And this will influence Crypto prices for the better.

Truth be told, every newbie is a newbie not until they gain knowledge about the Crypto space and how  it works, they still remain newbies. You will know those who are ready and willing to learn something new as a result of their new encounter and the ignorant  ones from the way they are being curious about something.

I myself look into this aspect of learning because it is only the curious ones that are desperate to learn would make attempt to do so be it a closed or opened medium. Curiousity arouses the desire to know or learn more and it is only those who are ready to learn would have the knowledge of what they want to learn.

[Faisal2202]

You are right, to be a successful investor you have the characteristic of keeping patience, and not getting played by the market sentiments, the ones who claim themselves as investors or long-term holders, they should not see the news regularly, although it's not a good practice to not see, but if you keep seeing the news and the current situation of the market. Then a time will come when you will feel like exiting the market and you will think of entering again when the price will dump.
But you will end up losing it all, so considering this fact, it won't be wrong to say, we should not keep a keen eye on the market situation when we are making investments, like for the long term. Long-term means we don't care if the price goes up or down for like 2 to 5 years. The time period can depend on the individual mindset.

In investing and deciding which coin to choose, yes, certain events that we consider big are one of the considerations for decision making. but actually we are also very aware that these are not the main factors why the price of cloning can skyrocket. And for some reasons, some people choose these coins because they are for the long term.

In the case of Ethereum, yes, it is true that the approval of the Ethereum ETF cannot immediately cause the price of ETH to rise drastically quickly, and remain rising for a long period of time. No, neither does Bitcoin ETF nor Bitcoin halving. They don't and they immediately make the price bullish. but we understand the long-term effects. If this important event can make the long-term effects of the coin grow rapidly and become more accepted, then that will really be great in the long term. So, this will also depend on how long your target is in investment.

Knowledge is necessary no matter where you get this information therefore try to search about every source from where you can obtain useful information. If a person is familiar with crypto then he will easily choose the coin and will easily hold it because the main thing here is knowledge without which everything is impossible to accomplish.

The price of Bitcoin is unstable now sometimes it goes higher to 70k$ while today the price is 67k$ again therefore holding is the most beneficial method to ignore the lower cost and wait for the right time because we know better that Bitcoin is going to be more victorious as the time flies.

[albon]

This is why cryptocurrency should be accepted as an uncertain future so we can be more serious with research before investing. But now i feel this behavior is different because i have kept two tokens in my wallet for a long time but still no such pump has been seen. Your specific target from investment may not be exact but should always be long term. Because the only message for investors is that success in the crypto space requires more patience.

[UNIVERSE]

I don't see short term investment as an investment but I see it as trading and it is very dangerous because we cannot predict the price movement of bitcoin. You might think that you are smart and plan to buy bitcoin and sell off in 6 months, but it will shock you that you might have reached the time that you plan to sell and bitcoin price is below your entry point. What will you do, sell in a loss, that will be the worst. In fact short term hodlers are not at rest with their emotions whenever there is a fluctuation in bitcoin price, it can lead to heart attacks. I believe short term holders are using more for important things to buy bitcoin thinking to make profits within a short period of time, which may be possible or not.

Well, you may see it as trading because you have your own view. It is no problem as long as it can be profitable. 
I don't think I'm smart, no one can predict the price with 100% accuracy. You also can ensure the profits even if it is for a long term investment. Everything we do is about speculating the price, whether it is for short or long term holding.

If you don't have strong mentality, you won't rest your emotion whether you are holding for a long term. I think it is not about how long we hold the coins. It is about how to have mature mentality, don't be easily panicked because of the price changes. Anyway, I don't understand why you become so pessimistic about the potential profits for a short term holding.
