Let's expand on the mini-rookie whales situation so that this can be avoided in the future.
The main reason for the big losses are greed, lack of patience and planning. No understanding of the market dynamics.
The Cryptocurrency market —Bitcoin— is an amazing market.
The owners of this market are very descent people and they support the majority, always, as much as possible.
If one wants to become successful in this market, it is important to approach it with a sense of respect and longevity, fairness and not greed.
If one decides to jump in with tens of millions of dollars thinking of getting rich over night, this won't work. The experienced, old-timers, advanced market participants will quickly adapt and kick these people out.
The way to enjoy massive profits with very large positions is by "easing" into the position. A big position can be built over a long period of time. In this case, a short position can be built slowly, over the months, by increasing the position at each rise. It cannot be done all at once, once a reaction happens but rather slowly but surely when the market is relaxed and stable.
If too much pressure is put on the market, the market stops its movement and looks for direction; in short, the market adapts.
When a group of people come in, only a few months into Crypto-trading and think they are going to get-rick quick, this is problematic. Everything in life requires dedication and work. Everything worth having has a price.
So, for the next opportunity which will be on the long side, the first negative emotion to remove is greed.
Yes, we can spot the bottom low, but we have "ease" into it if we are staying in.
If too much of a big position shows up, out of nowhere once the "bottom is in," instead of the bottom we will surely get another low. If people get greedy at the lows, the market will continue to move down and down until all the greed is gone.
Instead, we buy some; portions at each support... Building the position all the way down, as well as all the way up. We have to support the market in both ways.
If you can build your position over a period of 4-6 months, the market will support and allow you to take home the big bucks. If you decide to jump in yesterday to takeout millions today, the market has its way of folding this type of plan... It just doesn't pay.
This is just my experience of course but many professionals and long-term traders can confirm what I just shared.
This is a community and while we trade for money, we built this market for the people, as an alternative to an already established system; for freedom, prosperity, growth and success.
We cannot let it be destroyed due to a lack of consciousness... Comeback and try again. This time, make sure to study before you play.
A well developed plan can lead to massive success... And time, time of course... Always think long-term.
Thanks a lot for your continued support through these hard times.
We will have a great green bullish market soon enough... I can't wait to write on each and everything single trade idea, "Bitcoin is going up! ... For now, we have to wait for the correction or either confirmation that no correction will show up.
Keep in mind that I am Bitcoin's #1 fan but my job here is to read the charts.
Namaste.
