?3 Worst Mistakes of Digital Assets Beginners?
Hey, Gang! Jake here!
In our first few weeks of opening, we think itâs crucial to inform you of what not to do. Especially considering the recent price action of Bitcoin. As Bitcoin has dipped our monthly watchlist has ripped!
Take a look here for yourself! This big green candle is Kyber $KNC on our monthly watchlist! Thatâs just another reason why weâre here!
1. Leaving the Market
The first major thing you want to avoid is leaving altogether. Do you think Iâd be here today If I sold all my bitcoins for around $1,000? No.Â
I see this all the time. Someone buys high and sells low, then never gets back in. Thatâs the worst mistake you can make.
We cannot stress this enough. Weâre at the beginning stages of a brand new more efficient economic system.Â
I believe the digital asset ecosystem WILL absorb traditional finance. One day, it will be the âregularâ economy.
Even if you make a few mistakes, pick yourself up; keep learning and stay engaged. This market isnât going anywhere, so we hope you donât either. Sorry to those that bought the top; been there, but I stuck it out.
Weâre here to help you stay informed and prepared for the future economy.
This is going to be a rocky road, major changes are never easy. Thatâs why weâre here to guide you every step of the way.
A great strategy Iâve seen is keeping a âjust in case bagâ. Even if I do move on to another asset, sometimes itâs best to keep a little, just in case.
2. Following the Hype
While following hype is fun, it usually doesnât play out to just chase green candles. Especially in this space.
Itâs always more important to focus on the fundamental utility of an asset rather than simply its percentage gained.Â
Did Dogecoin explode? Yes.
Does Dogecoin have sustainable tokenomics? No. Every minute 10,000 new Doge enter into circulation. What do you think will happen when people stop buying it?
Thatâs why itâs always better to have a solid grip on the fundamental aspects.
Every digital asset investor knows the words âDo Your Own Researchâ (DYOR). That being said, almost all blockchain enthusiasts think they are properly researching projects they buy â but are they really researching enough?
Ask yourself these questions before investing in a project:
- Who is it backed by?
- Does it have any utility at all or is it simply going up by hype?
- How substantial is the Whitepaper?
- What are the tokenomics?
- What exchanges is it on?

Hereâs the bitter truth: Technology fundamentals are more important than price analysis in digital assets. This is not stock investing. Never forget that. Your knowledge of traditional markets isnât going to translate as easily as youâd think.
Most people decide to rely on influencers on Twitter or Youtube to tell them what digital asset to buy.Â
However, many of these investing icons are just paid marketers/influencers. Meaning they take money from the assets team and âpump itâ to their community, only to use their followers as exit liquidity. We donât do that at CoinCommand.
Furthermore, some financial gurus will sell you products based on common knowledge like Bitcoinâs halving cycle or the âcoinbaseâ effect. (lame!)
Weâre here to teach you how to fish, hook the bait, help you cast, and of course reel âem in!

3. Panic Selling When You Should HODL
âWHEN IN DOUBT, ZOOM OUT!âÂ
To put it in perspective, here is an all-time favorite chart of mine. The all-time Bitcoin chart. This is why I donât sweat pullbacks.
The digital assets market is extremely volatile. Let me say that again, EXTREMELY volatile.
Short-term price corrections happen all the time, and they are not for the weak of heart, so be ready. If youâre ever in doubt or scared of the recent price action, like weâre seeing lately, zoom out.Â
Cement this saying into your mind âwhen in doubt, zoom outâ.
Â
Zoom out.Â
Recognize that youâre in the beginning stages of a new world economy.
This WILL be a set of trials and tribulations. I believe that HODL will prosper.
Sudden price drops happen, but the price will start growing again if it has a use case. If you take one thing away from this let it be not to act on emotion.Â
Patience is a virtue.
Final Thoughts
Donât let your mistake be the reason you give up on this market.Â
Let your mistakes be a learning experience, rather than an obstacle.Â
Not sure if you looked outside lately, but our world is changing drastically. Our economy will change with it.
Weâre here to prepare you for the changes of the future and keep you well-guided along the way. With the recent price action of bitcoin, I can understand why some of you may be in fear.Â
However, to broaden your perspectives, this is the future of economics. It will fundamentally change the way we interact with one another. Our entire economy will transfer from trust to truth. Keep that in mind if youâre stuck staring at red candles all day. Be open to change.
