The reaction that occurs when the price of Bitcoin drops is that it makes an investors face dry and his conscience begins to disappear. This happens to those who do not have a backup fund flow. That is why it is recommended for investors to have at least three months of floating funds. We who are new investors, hold Bitcoin with emotion but stay away from thinking too much about the long term for the next emergency. This is irresponsible for us who are looking after our family / for long term investment protection. The things that we are particularly interested in from previous investment mistakes are to keep a supply of floating cash funds in case of any possible situation. Protection from the risk of price dumping or withdrawal of investment in unexpected situations.

It's normal for new investors to panic and get emotional when the price of bitcoin falls, it's something that's happened to even people with a steady in therefore it's a normal phenomenon with those set of people whether back up finds or not, being new to it is enough to get worried cause at that point they're still very ignorant about certain things but as time goes on, whether they're patient enough to continue investing or not, they'll learn from experience.

The major things is the ability to maintain patience even while emotion plays it's role, cause like I said earlier, even someone with 3 months of floating funds would be forced to pull out their funds if they don't kill their emotions and remain patient, Bitcoin is a long-term investment and patience give investors the ability to hold for a longer period, overcome emotions caused by the fear of loosing funds due to price drop, that's why I classified it as one of the major things a true investor should possess.

No, I will have to disagree with here. It is not normal for new Bitcoin investor to panic at all. That will be a sign that they actually started their investment with the wrong mindset all along. I expect a new investor to be at least highly informed so they understand what they are investing into.If a new investor jumps into Bitcoin investment with the mindset that they want to get rich quick from people testimonials of course they will freak out when things are going the opposite direction for them but if they are informed about Bitcoin history and its cycles they will not panic at all.

The reason why they are panicking isnt because they are new but because they are not informed. Whether new or old investor they can still panic when they dont have legit information's regarding Bitcoin investment. Instead of a new investor to start panicking over price swings they should see it as a huge opportunity to DCA and buying on dips. Because that is the only way they will meet up in holding a large quantity of Bitcoin in their portfolio before the bull season comes.

You need to understand that no matter the level of information a newbie investor got there is a different between theory and practical such that even if they entertain certain of level of panic I see it as a normal because they are new and in the practical aspects of it which of course experience could be the highest form of information they need. There must always be a different in reaction between a newbie investor and the experience ones in this regards.

Historically events if not a guarantee of the future performance that's what you should know. However, if a newbie investor entertains certain level of panic in their initial stage, staying long in the market will make them gain more courage and confidence unless he or she is not an investor but a trader or that the money being used by the newbie investor is not a discretionary income.

I will refer all your write up to this statement of CZ concerning newbies investors, which he posted on X yesterday, most of this newbies don't know that their are so many things that are easier said than done, and holding is one of those things, especially when their is no source of income and an emergency funds in place that can stand as a shield against any unforseen emergencies that may arise in the future, but if you have no emergency funds or a source of income in place, it's just a matter of time before you temper with your investment that you never ever thought of tempering with in the first place.
Then as for the aspect of panic, I don't think it's tie to only newbies investors alone, it can even compel a veteran investor to act rationally if the person in question have no genuine trust in Bitcoin, because these guys are not looking at Bitcoin on a bigger picture, like on the longer run, or how much it might skyrocket to in like 10 to 20 years time from now, they are just myopic about Bitcoin, so they get into a mode anytime their is a strong dip in the market.
