Since I know cryptocurrency my biggest fear is to lost all my capital or large amounts in trading or investment, because of the fear in me I don't do things that I'm not sure of or things I don't know. My fear to lose have always been a motivation or a reason for me to know things concerning cryptocurrency, I fear to start trading when I'm of myself that I know nothing to trade , fear to start investment when I know that I don't have a source of income.
My fear have been a motivation to learn, even If I start trading I may lose but not to lose everything because of the understanding I have. My fear to lose have always made me to take the right decisions and not to make money money my first ultimate in trading and investment but understanding as my first priority.
I know some of my mates who are into cryptocurrency that phobia to lose but even with the fear to lose they still go ahead to trade. If beginners allows their fear to motivate them to learn first their won't be drastic lose in trading.
This is what I did in the past when I wanted to invest in the world of crypto, I did not know crypto, bitcoin or whatever it was in this industry, but I ventured to put money into it and buy some coins to try to make a profit.
The fear of losing money when I have bought it is my reason to learn more, because at that time I also saw a number of lucky people from investment activities at Crypto, so I explored information related to what I did because I happened to be a few weeks of buying I am in a state of loss, and in the end I get a bright spot on Bitcoin and also the trade and mandatory things that must be known from investment in this industry.
Sometimes fear will bring us further, but this depends on ourselves, how to reduce fear in self become a motivation to learn more.
