if you can't hold for 5 years, don't hold for 5mins, and if you can't bear -28%, don't expect +28,000%.
That's some expression and it sums up the expected behaviour towards buying to hodl a crypto asset and the risk of profit and lose in a simple way. Investors in the crypto field especially the new ones who sees crypto for what they could get and with complete neglect for what could be lost in the process needs to understand that, there are some serious risk to this. It would mean you, daring yourself to neglect the risk factor involved in crypto investments.
Another idea to why these newbie investors fall into these schemes is believing that, one is too professional not to make loses. Hence, you fall in line, ready to hand him or her your money to take the risks on your behalf. In that, know this; when it goes bad, be ready to accept the outcome as well. Don't be lazy, study and take risk of your own.
