Bitcoin Forum

The only altcoin I am holding is Burst and I will keep holding no matter how low the price goes. Nothing hurts more than seeing your coin go down in market value. I was tempted to sell but I believe in the Proof of Capacity Consortium's ability to deliver some good for Burst that I have decided to buy more.

What about you, what altcoin are you loyally holding and why?

PIVX, which is surprisingly immune to how most alts go down if BTC goes up.

That's absolutely true man. It does feel bad when you see your coin go down but its crypto, if it goes down it means it will rise soon.
I am currently holding DGB which is the most affected by the fork. You can see it has gone down to 170 satoshis which is like a blood bath for it.
I bought it at 500 satoshis thinking it will rise soon but you see what has happened to it now. People are saying it will go lower than 100 satoshis and that's when i am thinking to buy it more. It does have a lot of potential and it can give a good return after the fork.

i sold everything i owned, every single altcoin. i was holding a couple more that i sold last night at a small loss. in total i have not lost anything though because they were still in profit anyways so the loss was covered by the previous profit making it negligible.

at times like this it is always best to stay out of altcoin market until they bottom out. the worst thing i fear is panic sells specially in the top altcoins.

also as @bathrobehero said i have had my eye on PIVX for some time, i don't hold any though. i am expecting a big rally out of it, that is why i am watching it. i am waiting for a dip or something to get in ::)

I still hold on to my portfolio because those coins I'm holding are there because I believe in the projects, what one should be doing now is to get into project one like and have been watching closely at discount the ICO price

NXT :-)

Bitcoin Cash. I bought Bitcoin cash when it's around 900$ , I lost almost 60%. It's very sad, I bought at the peak of price. Because of the hype before that Bitcoin cash will be the next Bitcoin or the real bitcoin. Now I'm very lost, Bitcoin cash is the most altcoin that I have big lost.

so much altcoin that I hold to be a loss,
this is really crazy because of the bitcoin price that soars into the sky

The altcoins I hold, even with loss :
 - XZC : ZCoin
   Why : because it is the best anonyme coin and the market want a anonymous coin
 - LBC : Lbry coin
   Why : because the library project is a very universal project and very helpfull for people all around the world
 - MNM and ARTE : Minereum and Artemine
   Why : because they are the firsts and only coins whit a lot of promising features : self mining, altcoins builders, ICO builders...

Clam is 60% down. Unbelievable! From $12 to $4, within couple of hours, now holding on $5 to $6. But the way it drops, it scares me about alt coin. In future you have to think before you invest. I believe in next few days more alt coin will fall to bottom.

I hold many coins but they are in loss, aragon, bancor, status, stox, and so forth. I am tired of watching daily price, and I want to focus on the value and future of blockchain tech.

BTS, DASH, NXT, XLM, XRP it is the coins that I love because now the price is far from the initial price when I buy
I want to sell it but the thing that will happen loss, but there are positive things that I can at least I have grip on the highest price of this in order to avoid panic

For me its Reddcoin and NEO, I bought them when they were really hyped. I don't think I'll get back my investment from REDD so I'm investing more on NEO to bring down my average buying price.

GOLEM!

Bought in half at 50 cents and the rest half at 26 cents. In fact I started donating it to some friends, lol.

Hope it turns back around.

"It does have a lot of potential and it can give a good return after the fork." I'm really looking forward to this mate, I was expecting DGB to go up to atleast 750 when I bought it. Its heartbreaking to see it go down. I'm thinking of selling it to lessen the loss. But then your post makes me think otherwise. :) BTS is also in my portfolio, which like DGB it's also going down, however reviews about it says its the altcoin that has the potential to go up in the future.

Musicoin. I think it is going to launch very useful platform for music makers. I wish I could buy it at bottom. Now Im stabbed to loss like %30. But I don't really mind it. It is great coin.

I'm definitely holding NEO and LSK, those two coins will go straight back up as soon as the bitcoin gold hype is over.

I still hold on to my portfolio because those coins I'm holding are there because I believe in the projects, what one should be doing now is to get into project one like and have been watching closely at discount the ICO price.

To be frankly, almost all of my altcoins that I hold is dropping so hard, and it's mainly because the HF of bitcoin that soon to be coming and the price pump for bitcoin
just like as you said, it's hurt to see the altcoins we hold dropping down, but lets see after HF ended, all altcoin will be pumped again.

that is why Stop-Loss was invented :D

you either use some kind of automation to place stop loss orders or you just do it yourself when you reach your limit. for example if the altcoin you have invested in loses 5% you dump it before it grows bigger. that way you prevent huge losses like 60% that someone mentioned above!

I'm holding quite a few Gridcoin at a loss currently, it isn't that bad, but I'm just going to wait a bit till they get a bit higher again.
The altcoin market in general is looking a lot less attractive than the Bitcoin market at the moment.

I'm probably going to sell most of my altcoins before the fork happens anyway.

I hodling only bitcoin and ethereum, to prepare the hardfork that will come in this month, i sold all my portfolio in the big profit. I just waiting for another down trend again in the future after the fork happened.

You are quite right. I am not an speculator, I am in for the long term and only buy ALTs that I consider have a viable project and value proposition, but if it goes down 10 or 15% it is not a bad idea to sell and buy later on.

I still hold all my altcoin portfolio (8 coins). It doesn't have sense to sell them now when they are very low. I would be in the minus.
I am sure that better days will come for altcoins. So I just HODL.

I'm holding ETH right now because i believe the Ethereum price can back to 0.1btc but it's really sucks right now. ETH price keep going down, especially the bitcoin price keep going up and makes eth price fall and fall again. Don't know why Ethereum price always decrease when bitcoin price increase.

A small amount of BQX bought @ 0.75 cents.  Will hold until the end of next year and make a decision then if nothing's happened.  Will only sell @ 5X or above.

Everything else I've bought since beginning last month is in the green.  BTC up huge.  ETH just a touch.  NEO 30%. 

Looking good!

ALL of them, unfortunately. I guess the worst for me at the moment is WAVES, since I bought a 3 digit figure at 95k satoshi, thinking it was an amazing deal. In fact, within days it had gone to 125k again and I was so pleased with myself. You can imagine my shock this morning seeing that it was exactly 70k. From a 30% potential gain to almost 30% loss in just over a week.

Anyway, I understand the fiat value has not changed too much, but I bought it all in Bitcoin. In total, this week alone, my Bitcoin value of all alts has dropped more than 30%. Heartbreaking, considering how much it costs now.

I do not get rid of altcoins, such as Stratis Eth Neo Edg Blizard. if they fall by half, then they will necessarily grow tenfold, in which case there should be steel nerves and do not need to tear the hair on the head. it's a market, and it has its own rules.  8)

I am surprised that radium coin could be dropped so hard. Crypto currency can raise your bp if you are heavily invested. This free market is double edged sword. When it swing in direction of profit, you make a good killing that can not be made on any other platform. And when the other side of sword is swinging, there may be a lot and lots of blood.

It gives me comfort to know I am not alone in this world of loss . I lost 85%

I still have some SIGT, at a pretty big lost. at this point, it makes no sense to me to sell it, but if it ever gets back to the point it was when i bought it, i will sell everything.

I am holding Byteball at a loss. I think it has a very nice and alternative technology and one of the best thought wallets out there. I may have to wait years, but I'm positive one day it will eventually rise.
And I'm also holding Bancor at a loss. Great future for BNT in the future in my view.

I am holding onto my XVG even though it has dropped from my entry point of 150 sat to under 100 today. I even purchased some more last night at 100 sat.

Also holding onto my ARK and although it hasn't crashed as badly as some other altcoins, I'll be waiting to pick up some more if the price drops significantly.

I should add that I'm a long-term hodler so I don't mind taking hits in the short-term. I'm looking to invest as much as possible over a variety of coins. Some are high risk with potentially huge rewards, others have solid tech which I think the market will appreciate within the next year or two.

Examples include: ARK, XVG, STRAT, XFC, XMR, XID, QRL

I'm not currently invested in all of those but if you invest a little each time there's a bloodbath then you can do well over the long-term as long as you can hold your nerve and your personal circumstances don't require you to cash out at a bad time.

I am new to crypto trading recently i started trading on altcoins most of my altcoins are in loss may be some of them are around 50% after doing lots of research i have invested on this coins but recent trend all the altcoins going to loss . If i could have leave bitcoin as it is i would get better profit .I am waiting for hard fork to finish.

Oddly enough this may not be an ALT coin that anyone would think.

Its ATS - authorship.

I really liked the white paper in the ICO and the concept. Truth is, authors will, as with music all go completely online. All it will take for ATS to really take off will be a bestselling author to publish their book with this company exclusively. So its a definite hold.

I am not holding any coin now. But if i choose i bought eth for investment. Why? Since i believe this coin will grow big and bigger.
Eth is the famous platform also use for new project.

I bought into a lot of altcoins around July/August 2017 and unfortunately most of them are at a loss right now.  I bought:

XEM (up 25%)
OMG (up 20%)
LISK (up 148%)
STRAT (down 36%)
GNT (down 30%)
FCT (down 19%)
SIA (down 51%)
DGB (down 43%)
VIA (down 35%)
SIGT (down 75%)

Even worse is that the Bitcoin that I traded so I could buy these altcoins would have nearly doubled in value since I traded it.  Fortunately though, most of the altcoins above that were in the red were a small portion of my portfolio even at the time I bought them and the green ones I made a heavier initial investment into.  Further, I've always held a the majority of my coins into BTC (65%) so my altcoin portfolio is much smaller and diversified (Eth makes up about 65% of my altcoin portfolio) so i'm in good shape.

The biggest bummer was Sigt.  I was pumped for that coin.  I mined and bought a bit at around $0.07.  I think its actively being developed so I haven't given up on it.

I'm thinking about getting involved with DeepOnion.  I've read up on it and it seems like a promising privacy-oriented altcoin.  I think DO will become one of my wiser investments!

You do not lose until you sell. Right now my portfolio is down by 20% ether make up 65% while others 35% my calculations is not in dollars otherwise I would say I have gain 10% . But i 'm calculating in bitcoin. Hope the tide turn positive soon.

i'll hold all of them until i recover at least my initial investment

it's hard tho...stratis is down 60% atm :\
bad time for alts

BAT.  Once I recoup what I put into it I'll sell it off.
Time and time again I start realizing that I should stop messing around with alts and stick to BTC.

For me this is worse then the China thing. I dont hold any btc. Ive put most in ICO and some alts... And every ICO out of the gate drops like a fly..  :-[  i was afraid to miss the boat, now i miss every boat.. F              K  :-[

I got around 18k invested since July and am down about 20%. Mostly neo, xrp, eth, csno, coss, rpx and stex. Two are not tradeable yet.

If I often hold a pink coin but it has been holding it for too long the selling price is still not high I finally can not wait and exchange the coin with the rupiah despite the risk in less maximal gain.

some altcoins require you to hold them for years and years before they are worth anything. Others like ETH become worth a lot within a year.

Bitcoin took a long time for it to be worth what it is now.

remember that! If you think an altcoin has good value and will deliver good things that peopl eneed and or want then you should hold it for years.

The ones that make sense, like Zcash, LTC, DASH, ETC, Neo

Well I am holding NMR, OMG and many alts at a loss actually, but the reason to invest in these are either for long term or for potential 10x gain so I am Ok to accept the paper loss for now.

I have lost 40% of my capital on altcoin. My heart is bleeding

I hold OMG and Ark and i'm not even slightly worried. They are good coins that will bounce back and keep improving sooner or later (sooner would be better though lol)

Funny, I'm holding 10k ELIX and some EXP. A couple of bad decisions made me leave my loved and amazing DCR, but it is ok, one day I'll go back. Anyway, it might sound stupid but I really believe in ELIX, I do not know, it seems that are one of these coins that has a product behind in fact.

Everything is at loss except those I bought recently. Just have to wait.

I am still holding some Bitquence (BQX), I traded back and forth and managed to accumulate a fair amount. In october however Bitquence has had a rough time but I managed to sell at a little over a dollar and by doing so I was able to pull out my initial investment. I am still holding the rest probably one of my top picks going into 2018 since bitcoin is going crazy right now.

I am holding musicoin. I believe it will increase in the future.

I hate it that money is being made out of thin air. I couldnt believe this bitcoincash thing. I hope btg is gonna be worth  16 cent or somethin. Ridiculous  >:( >:( >:(

Siacoin and Byteball have just gone down down down since I invested. Thankfully I didn't put too much into it but it still stings! 

I have the "best" loss :D with Waves-BCH with other coins I have even a good profit because I hodl from a long time .
I am not scared to much for this big dump in these last days because, with this price I buy a little more, just to risk a little more :)

holding BCH, I bought the coin at the time BCH market price is fluctuating. at first I have benefited from the coin. but after I bought for the umpteenth time the price of coin dropped drastically, so until now I holding it

i am holding CIVIC and Populous at a loss

Stratis. This coin was truly overhyped. Even the coin being listed on Binance didn't help it rise.

Clam. I hold clamcoin for longtime and now I'm experiencing a significant attenuation value. But, i am never sell it until value back above 400ksat.

One thing though guys. Expect a HUGE rise in altcoins after the hardfork. Also A LOT of people have invested in bitconnect so they will splash around their interest dollars.

Yeah i think you are right, i just bought more because i think prices will keep rising.

Thats true and thats what I think of Burst. But PoCC developer rico666 really trusts that it will jump to BTC.00001 by December of this year. He also claims (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1513328.msg22166453#msg22166453) that it wont be for the same reason that most would think.

I tried to ask some more information on what he knows but he didnt reply.

holding verge XVG at loss at this moment, not selling though, no way. its going up again.

Ahh it kind of hurts i love the part of btc increasing because no matter what my 50% of the portfolio will always be btc but the remaining 50% get's screwed up one way or another. First loss is cvc bought at 95 sold at 106 and then re bought at 90. Second loss is kmd thought it would rise because of the new changes but completely opposite happened. Last coin would be xmr i sold at $150 but decided to rebuy at $100 i am aware it will increase in future but for now these are my main losses.

LISK is killing me, things keep getting postponed. Don't know if its worth keeping after the next pump.

dont worry. There isnt a single project as close to ethereum as Lisk. It depends on who will get there first. And it will be Lisk. Its a sleeping giant. Im holding with loss as well. It will moon in new year.

Waves, Nexus, NEO, SHIFT, Radium.
I'm still in the profit area, and quite a bit as I've been holding these for a while. But I'm hoping my coins will go 5x before summer 2018 so I don't have to worry about my future studies  ;D

Some people actually always do the long term trading and try to buy more at more dips but this one was just pretty too fast and crazy.
I made the same mistake too, bought some at dips, never used the stop loss and set a sell order, until the whole altcoin started crashing down really bad. It was very hard at first to take the decision but man! A man gotta do what he has to do. ;D

I currently have a 60% loss on my ARK investment. Not sure why this project is failing but it's my biggest loss atm.
Waves, SMN, and Ox also have taken so hits as of late. I'll keep holding them, as long as they keep developing. My first rule is to only buy with what you can lose.

Yup unfortunately those days came again... probably too fast and too often for last couple of times...

Currently, at loss I’m holding: Waves, Iconomi and Storj. But I believe in them long term, so I don’t want to lose too many nerves with those price drops, because long term, they should go up multiple times!

It is eBTC. I bought and immediately it dumps and continue it downward movement.

The price could dump actually, since there will be plenty people trying to get their Bitcoin Gold switched to Bitcoin after forking.

DGB ,,, i intend holding that coin,, i think thats price its already have lower and i look forward never wait for a long time will there is price increase ,,but evidently the price is the lower everyday,so i'm taking loss.

I'm in btc now, waiting for bigger dumps few days before the fork, then i'll invest in alts: ark,qtum,neo,omg,pay.

Every altcoin I hold is in a temperory loss right now. However, it is kind of too late to sell them.

i still holding my eth and ltc , it is more stability price than any other altcoin , and even bitcoin's price rise so much

the price of them are also keep rising .

Okcash and Omisego, both heavy bags.

I am holding ether. I thought i was in red because i could see my bitcoin equivalent decreasing. But dollar equivalent on the other hand is increasing!:So it had for me to say I am in loss.

Not all of these at a loss but I'm hodling Ark, shift, rise, sys, gld, xspec, ltc, grc, onion and eth.

I am currently holding CCT and don't plan to sell until after the fork hoping it would go back up again.

What really pains me though is that it's the first coin I have invested in and I am already at a loss. I initially plan to buy more of it a few weeks before the coming fork but decided against and thought to just get back to btc.

COVAL, someone else told me to buy it and I didn't research it properly. My other coins are doing fine, so I can keep them as long as I want.

i hold bitshare almost 2 months
to late to sell it now :-[ :-[

just got some stratis and still waiting for the value to bounce back I know things will be brighter after btc really reached its peak for a while, then corrections will followed same things happen before, btc rise alts falls then wait for some time and begin to enjoy the profits, stratis will go up just need some few updates i'm
still positive with my holdings.

Maybe you should change the name of the thread to Bagholders or bagHODLERS.

Maybe the secret is to keep buying. ;D

Seriously, they cant fall forever and BTC's boost in price cant keep going. It will plateau at the top and that will be the best time for some of the altcoins to catch up and try to equal BTC's % increase.

Until now, I believe only with XMR. I have nothing to lose with this coin because I get from trading profit. I decide to loyal and always buy XMR because I believe this coin will survive like ETH, see their price action history and also volume will give you reason why you should do that?. Still has supply, demand ( trust ) and and also stable price action will become a good sign to replace our money into it. Just buy/ hold/ sell something you know and face the risk. Thank you.

verge and AdEx

if you are holding any altcoin before the BTC surge from 4k, then all of them are at a loss now
so it is wise to hold alt with good fundamental, coz you wont be worried about them not able to recover.
of course the best thing would be selling them, then buying them now (but nobody is so perfect in timing)
:)

All my coins now are actually dipping in their value. Well, except bitcoin. But this is a normal market reaction since crypto investors and traders are shifting to bitcoin to make a fast and easy profit because of the bullish market for bitcoin right now. When this clears out, the same people will definitely go back to altcoins.

I still hold some altcoins to get profit,
just wait until altcoin goes all up

i still hold many altcoin especially altcoin with cheap price and i don't want to sell now and maybe i will considering to sell in the next year. because in this year, so many altcoin is going down and although i can earn profit, my profit is not much and this is why i can hold until a long term. i still believe in doge, verge, rdd, burst, dgb, and more altcoin that can bring a nice profit in future and once the price is increase too high then in that time i can sell for a half to take my bitcoin back and take the good profit.

Waves!! It drops to $3.50 and will end up going back to $4.50 or $5 when things straighten back out

For me almost all my holdings are in loss some even more than 90% some of the high potential coin in my portfolio bitdice CSNO and coss also falling but hope soon it will recover people once they get bitcoin gold after hardfork . It will recover most of my loss.Hope for good some coins almost near to death.

Since i am just new here, haven't received any altcoins as payment of the campaigns that i participated but i have couple of different altcoins that i received from an airdrop. I have converter the others into BTC already and i have this one altcoin that seems so precious to me and that's eBTC. Yeah, it really hurts to see its value to plummet even if i only got this for free and its market value never go up again. And so idecided to HODL it no matter what.

I am holding a little bit of Rebi, the coin seems to do pretty well inside the Waves dex for the time being. The only thing that needs work is bringing up daily waves volume.

I don't know if someone mentioned it yet: I'm going to hold Sumokoin. The coin os young and I don't care about the price at the moment. In 2 or 3 years it will be good I guess  ;D

But just to say it: buy high and sell asap a dip comes is the best way to loose your money  ;)

I am loyally holding onto XEM/NEM. I really think this coin will be big in the future and I have followed the project on Social Media and noticed they are constantly stepping up and doing something for the betterment of the coin, thus holding meetings and conferences to let investors and people know the usage and value of NEM itself.

I think it is pretty much the good timing to get into some icos for the alt coins that you really believe in. Somehow I fins alt coins trading more exciting.

STRAT
NEO

and some other ICOs token
MANA
DCT
WINGS
SONM

I am currently holding IND coin and the price at present is almost half of the price when i buy this coin. I am hoping for the best with this coin and looking forward for the listing of coin to bittrex and polo.

I have a little bit of GGS coin. That coin did not get that much updates over the past two months, it might be worth something in a month or so.

Most of them. Haha they pretty much tanked which sucks. bought high but i know it will eventually get back

Altcoin that i am holding is IOTA, beacuse it is not blokchain, it is new concept.
I think it can rise much.

The most part of alts i hold for long time. Im sure that the market will rise in ling term but not sure what will be in a month. ;)

I bought some DGBs at 2000 sats. Damn, I need to be very patient until it climbs back up 😁

I'm holding ETH right now because i believe the Ethereum price can back to 0.1btc but it's really sucks right now. ETH price keep going down, especially the bitcoin price keep going up and makes eth price fall and fall again. Don't know why Ethereum price always decrease when bitcoin price increase.
