Not sold -> Not lost!

In training, I emphasize that the 4th mechanism of the discipline is both the simplest (because it’s not technical) and the hardest to apply.

Remember the image of the obstacle course I use to illustrate this point! 🙂

The first of these pitfalls is the temptation to sell everything when the market is falling.
It’s classic… When we see the value of our portfolio falling, we panic and tell ourselves we have to sell everything before we lose it all.

But it’s certainly the worst thing to do!

Why?

Because selling everything and stopping the strategy is the best way to lose.

In the few weeks since the market has been down, I’ve regularly received messages mentioning“losses“.

I think it’s important to shed some light on this aspect of the“losses” perceived by users of the Crypto Bulot strategy.

As long as we remain positioned on the strategy, even if the market is down and the value of our portfolio is falling, we still don’t lose money.

To explain this principle, let me draw a parallel with real estate investment.

– If you’re a property trader and you’re in the buy-and-sell business, if you sell a property for less than you paid for it, then you’ve made a loss. And if you multiply the losses, in the end you’ll have no capital left to invest.

For traders, it’s the same thing. They use a small part of their capital to buy and sell cryptos. And if they make too many loss-making transactions, they gradually erode their capital. In this case, we can talk about a loss.

– Now if you’re a long-term investor, and you buy apartments. Let’s imagine that the real estate market is in decline. As a result, the value of your real estate assets is also falling. But is this a loss?

No! Because to lose money, you’d have to resell the apartments below their purchase price. But as long as we keep the apartments, the loss is not effective. And the market may very well rise above the purchase price of the properties, allowing us to make a profit.

With the Crypto Bulot strategy, it’s the same thing. It’s a long-term strategy, which means holding on to your positions and staying true to your strategy for at least 2-3 years.

So even if the value of your portfolio falls, as long as you haven’t sold it all and stopped the strategy, you haven’t lost any money.

If you feel you’ve lost money, it’s because you’re too involved in monitoring market trends.

As I mention in the training, the best way to respect the discipline necessary for your success in applying the Crypto Bulot strategy is to do as the emoji monkey does…

In conclusion, the method anticipates market downturns… Discipline is the key. Once again, this is a long-term investment strategy (2-3 years minimum). So those who exit the strategy before that time will be taking the risk of losing money.

But in this case, it’s not the strategy that’s the loser, it’s the failure to follow it.
