Bitcoin Forum

Not even 6 months ago this joint was full of ETH haters and detractors who viciously attacked any ETH believers and voraciously spread lies and FUD to any potential investors. This disgusting gang of sockies was lead from the front by the Grandmaster FUD himself, Spoetniktard. So just how much cold hard crypto cash has his lies cost you in return of investment. To put this into context and to help ease your calculations in January 2017 one ETH would set you back $7.

I don't care really, I was busy investing in projects I actually respect; such as Litecoin, BitBay, and Sia to name a few

Ripple have more potential than ETH seen January 2017. I expecting Waves is next, better than investing with Eth.

I don't lose any money but was glad eth is up above $125 on http://www.coinmarketcap.com. Token has help alot in pushing it to were it is today. Hope it pull back to $100 so I can invest. Eth may get to $500 before meddle of next year.

I had always believed in ETH right from time because of the comment a developer on the platform which I had a discussion with gave me but its was just discouraging that at that particular time the price of ETH was not encouraging at all to attract investors. For me, I didn't lose any money and in short I gained because I kept the faith still despite the challenges faced.

That wasn't the question.

you don't actually lose any money if you don't invest. and many people do the wise thing and stay away, trading altcoins is not for everyone and it certainly is not wise for most people without experience to get into the trading scene.

and actually majority of newcomers who are desperate for profit lose money by investing in ethereum because they come in late not in the start. they for example invest when eth price is at 0.057BTC and then when it dumps they are forced to sell and they sell at 0.03BTC a huge loss then they see the pump again and they buy back again at 0.063BTC and again get dumped on and sell at 0.05BTC at another huge loss.

and this story continues until the whales get fatter and they have their pockets emptied out.

Even though it not the answer, I still think Ripple is better than Etheruem.

Too many people gets depresed caused by hating ethereum. I remember bought worth 250 ether and i sold all of my iconomi for ethereum and in this time it worth over 25000 and always increase.


All of the haters get setressed to see the bullish of ethereum.  ::)

From the words of an user I think that ripple is good to profit for the one who have missed the chance of profiting big investing on ethereum few months back. One who made the investment on January​ starting might have got the user a very big earning because the price pumping had happened more than 14%

You ask me how much money I've lost, I think it's impossible to estimate, and probably lost an opportunity to be financially free

That's why its better to make your better judgement in investing and not to listen to FUD going around here. I'm still a newbie back 6 months ago so I mostly invested in btc only. But if I'm been member her long enough and seeing a lot of FUD on ETH, I think I would buy it. Because as I have said, I don't listen to them, I make my own decision.

I think he means that how much money did you lose on the opportunity cost of NOT investing into ETH. So if ETH was 60 cents last year and you decided not to invest your 600 dollars into it, you lost out on current price / old price you would have put it in on.

So current price 128USD/ .60centsUSD = 213X multiplier. so 213 x 600 dollars(you would have put in) = 128,000USD you lost out on.

Well I'm happy to say I bought into Ethereum
in January 2017 and while I have liquidated
some into Euro fiat to help fund a little project
I have on the side I still have some.

I personally like Ethereum and their ERC20
and some of the blockchain technologies based on that.

So no If I believe after doing some of my own research
that a Coin/Currency has a future potential I'll stick
with it.

Did not lose too much, I eventually bought it, glad I did

There are haters for every coin.  There are even Bitcoin haters!  Cracks me up!

I don't buy the FUD,  I buy the coin :-*

I treat both hype and FUD with the same distrust.

Research is key,  luck helps also.

My wife is BTC
My eldest son is LTC
I have young triplets XRP,  LBC,  XEM

I regret not having another child,  we would of called her ETH.  But alas we are too old now and have missed the opportunity.

Sold all 14 of my ETH when it was worth $8 so (as of right this second) $1813 - $112 = missed out on $1701.

Fortunately I wasn't stingy when buying GameCredits and Iconomi  ;D

There's a reason why there was so much FUD... because ETH is an unscaleable bullshit platform that was both instamined and premined by Vitalik and his shady bunch of insiders. there's not even 1 working dapp working on Eth's shit platform

Thank you kind sir. You explained my question better.

maybe 10 maybe 20 BTC . But we need to focus on the future instead of looking at the past .

Okay what's the future?

Lol. Knew this question would get you despicable sockie out the woodwork. So how much did you lose you Spoetniktard?

I didn't lose money that I didn't invest. I gained relatively less for making a safer bet, which I am happy with.

Lol. Eat shit ETH shilltard

Does it really matter?

The most silly what you can do right now is to criticized  yourself that you did not earn maximum possible value. that you sold to fast bought to late or to early.   It is impossible to buy cheapest and sell at ATH.  How many was able to sell their BTC for over $1000 in 2013?  We all know it was over $1000 but only few did actually sell so for us the rest was never there. And is nothing wrong with that.

Just make profit and be happy. You will be sad next year after bubble burst and we will have bear year and 2020 when coins will be more or less static.  Not that you complain now when everything goes up. LOL. What you will do with this money if you have such sad life?

ETH is good but I found ripple to be more attractive. Also You can only lose in cryto if you buy a coin and it goes down the price you buy. Regarding OP question, if someone never buy any ETH, there is no point of losing as you can never lose any of your money without buying first.
Yes you can only regret that if you have bought, you could have earned some profits but in reality you have faced no loss.

How can it be said lose if we never spend money on it, who does not buy ETH at the time of only 900.000 satoshi is just losing the opportunity to make a profit, that's all.
People who do not buy ETH definitely buy another coin or just keep a Bitcoin and they still get the benefit, we can see the price of Bitcoin that goes up periodically.

None could have expected such a growth percentage with eth. Even the starting of the year provided a good profiting opportunity to buy as low as less than $10. The same has now grown very big crossing $100, so missed is always missed. Believe and invest at the current price for a profit by upcoming rise.

I had use 4000 CNY to buy 10 ETH,I earn about 500CNY when I sold it
and I buy it again when the price is 600,so funny

My story is the funniest one. I had bought eth in 2015 and was holding til 2017 jan. I finally got fed up of it and ended up selling all 15 eth i had. Right after i made that move after a month i guess the price started increasing and today the same 15 eth which i sold for 150$ is now valued at 1800$

This question only glorifies ETH, as an perfect investment and all others who didn't invested are fools. This do not reflect a truth. Contrary fool is only one who didn't invested in alts because majority of them are higher 5x or more..In those conditions we cannot say only ETH.

In the past , but the future is important. We just need to find the lost opportunities for new ones.

The typical "thinking" of Mindlesscache clown. With that "thinking" you can also blame Vitalik for selling 25% of his coins probably a year ago. Tell me how much did he lost, stupido?! We're in the middle of a bubble and Ethereum can be compared with Ripple - all of these projects are for the fiat money involved (just see how many crowdsales and ICOs based on ETH we have). Be their cheerleader, but don't blame others being stupid, because you already proved yourself to be among the stupidest people in this forum! I already told you that your IQ equals room temperature, but now I think it's even less than that...

Zero  ::)

yes that is right to estimate it correctly but still i will like to add that i lost nothing becaust at that time i had invested in bitcoin and i really madu a good profit from there which i think even cannot expect from any other crypto aly coin .

Ether is doing a good price spike. But an an investment, it has one huge weakness that the monetary assets do not have: Its value derives from meta-assets which are effectively businesses.

That is floating value which can work as well on one smart contract blockchain as another, so investing in the underlying token doesn't actually invest you in those businesses directly and the value of your holdings (at least against, say bitcoin) is exposed to volatility from technological competition.

This is not the case with monetary assets such as BTC, LTC, DASH, PPC, XMR etc. They are held for a monetary premium (monetary value over utility) that effectively cements their role as a store of value and nothing else.

Conclusion:

 • Technology assets (the smart contract blockchains) are good for short term gains, but may not hold their value due to always being subject to MySpace --> Facebook syndrome so you need to know when to get out.

 • Monetary assets are likely to have far more longevity. Like investing in gold in the 1950's would still have been a good move 50 years later, whereas investing in electronic typewriters might have made you rich at the time but not if you'd stayed in that asset for 50 years

yes that is very right we should not lament for what has happened either we get profit or lost but now we need to focus on our future, as still there are so many opportunities to make more and more profit. just need to give good time.

Holding ETH in last 12 months is a huge loss compared holding PIVX or PEPE.  LOL

Zero and that will be zero into Infinity . Eth is crème de la crap. Zero respect.

Its is going up and up and up! Cant argue with that. Unless you don't like profit.

Never heard about pepecash before.. Well honestly i was regretting to sell my ethereum when the price of $14 usd before that honestly i could'nt imagine that the price can be touch at what the price today..
I am holding of many different altcoin but i am still regret like ethereum that can give us huge profit if we stay holding them.. for now it is hardly to decide to invest in ethereum since the price is really high.. and i think the price is always increase happen everytime the bitcoin is halving issue about the fee and many unconfirmed transactions..

If i invest in eth in the pass year i im already rich today so great mistake not investing in potential coins in the market if i invested 1btc in pass year im already rich today but big mistake so i probably lost about 10000$or more today not investing i guess inbesting today is too late because its already have a high price.

Zero. Just didnt see the gains I wanted from it even at $20. Could have made some, but already made more from my other alt coin investments.

Two months ago, I was gonna buy 40 ethereum when its price was around $50. Something I couldn't remember made me busy and I missed that... I missed the profit of $5.000 approximately.

lol I tried to investing the ICO but got busy and missed it.  Would have invested 10 bitcoin worth, so that's 20,000 ETH.  You can do the math =(

On the bright side I bought some Qtum and it's already up 28x since ICO and I think Qtum will essentially be favored over Ethereum in China so long term hopefully I'll make up for missing out on Ethereum.

"How Much Money Did You Lose NOT Buying ETH?"

I lost exactly zero dollars/btc. You can't lose something that you never owned.

This is what I like to call "Hindsight Investing".

I have lost nothing because I do not spend anything on ETH.  I will not make an imaginary profit from my what if's ideas.  I do not believe in ETH that is why I do not buy it.  So how could I lose something that I do not have?

Well I invested, but I could have invested a bit more. It's safe to say I'd have been roughly $7K ahead if I had put more money in ETH instead of for example PIVX, buut I still made quite a killing with ETH so I'm not too sad.

More than 600-700 bucks. Nothing to say really. All my fault.  :'(

I'm feeling down about my investment decisions.

$2,000 BITCOIN: COULD ETHEREUM GO TO $1,000?

I prolly lost around 1 million Dollars if i didnt bought ETH at ICO

Thank you. I actually lost a negative amount of money by holding Monero rather than Ethereum.
