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.
You are only limiting yourself if you continue to base your decisions on fear. If you are afraid of taking risks, you won't go far. Fear will only prevent you from exploring. It is better you invest money you can afford to lose, this will help limit your emotional attachments to your investment which will aid you in trading or investing effectively. You have to dedicate your time to learning so you will be sure of making informed and accurate decisions and analysis. Acquire all the necessary knowledge you need and trade without the fear factor.
Fear hasn't gone easily but it remains in our mind and the moment it triggers back, that is to say goodbye to our investment.
I don't know how OP thinks that way and make FEAR a reason to become motivated knowing that this will have a huge impact on our decisions. Making this a way to become strong, it is probably never works but it is just a failing attempt as in the end our fear may control our minds and actions. It is better to stop if FEAR exists rather than forcing ourselves to continue because, in the end, we're still suffering losses.
