Many newbie traders do not really understand that the markets do not move linearly, they expect that once they buy an asset, this asset will keep going up indefinitely and this is an impossibility, markets move up and down all the time and most of the time you are not going to find a logical explanation about why this was the case, however if you instead take a more long term approach to the markets you will see that bitcoin despite those short term variations, it goes up in value after each 4 year cycle, and this is what makes it such an amazing investment.
