One of the major concerns that people have in the cryptocurrency world is giving in to greed and naturally so. WE all want to try and make the most that we can from our investment, and we want to try and get the largest profits as well. When we see a coin that is on the rising and the price and value continues to go up, we always want to hold that coin until it gets higher, and higher, until we sell our coins for maximum benefit.
However, this greed is very risky. Think about this scenario... If there was a whale at this point, they could sell off a lot of their coins and cause the price to crash, in which case the profit that you were expected to make can evaporate in a matter of minutes. This will result in you making a loss from what could have previously been a good profit.
It is important not to be greedy. When you reach your profit threshold that you want to achieve, you should make the sale rather than waiting for higher prices. The way that I do this is that I set the sell order when I buy a coin of what I want to sell it at. This way if that price occurs the sell order will execute, and I will be profiting from the coin, and preventing myself from getting greedy.
What ways do you use to stop yourself from being greedy when the cryptocurrency trend in value of a coin is rising?
