So I was all set to enter the alt coin markets before segwit2x.
Picked iota, vertcoin, walton, lisk, neo and binance...
And what happens, bloody fork canceled and my picks rocket up today by an average of 20%.
Now I am left with 15000 euros uninvested and wondering what to buy and when.
Gutted. :-[ :-[ :-[

bad luck for you :/ . but don't Fomo and wait for next good position. and i think some altcoins are still undervalued i would look for them.

Such as ? ;D

I don't think it's late. Altcoins price rise will continue. Invest your money in them right now. Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Stratis, Waves and any other altcoin which is listed in top 20 on coinmarketcap are good choices.

Perhaps these guys have some advice for you ;)

I sold 7.5 BTC last December.  FOMO sucks, don't let it get to you, brother.  Just think of it as opportunities, you find some, you miss others.  And as my favourite singer says
weep not for roads untraveled,
weep not for paths left alone.
because beyond every bend is a long winding end,
it's the worst kind of pain I've known

You sold the coin you bought at a price lower than the price you buy if so then I would like to condolence you when the bitcoin is about to end segwit2x then the market will gradually stabilize and altcoin will increase quite strongly according to a amount of people. I think you should practice psychology before you trade coin

It's a bitter lesson to learn but one that many fell for. In most markets and especially this space, if everyone is doing the same thing you should be thinking of alternative approaches. In this case MANY people were buying into bitcoin and planning to get into alts around the fork, and youtube/twitter influencers were all telling their followers this was a good approach and should have been a red flag. At least you were in the minority who were planning to switch to alts BEFORE the fork, which would have been a better strategy.

For what it's worth, no one was really anticipating this. I would wait on any alts that just pumped and wait for a bit of a pullback.. Many quality alts still have not yet pumped and still have a good buying opportunity.

You have just lost an opportunity, there will be more. It's not too late to invest in alts coin right now. I also didn't expect this update today and I was planning to buy Qtum and Neo just 1-2 days before the fork  :'( I'll wait for the next buy opportunity

I have a decision for you: join to ICO's!

Not everything is lost. In this crypto universe new opportunities are continually emerging for which one must have enough capital at hand to invest at the right time. On the other hand, there are still many altcoins that are at an extremely low price and still have great growth potential. And if you have not decided yet what to do with your money, go for the safest option and invest in ethereum.

agree with you. invest altcoins is good beccause altcoins look like will be bright in the future
buy now and just saving

LOL at least you still got some portion of that 20% rise! Spend the rest on major altcoin, like ETH and LTC. That two coin, notably suffer quite a lot of price decrease because of the fork, isn't pumping yet since the cancellation news. Those coin, as always, still have a lot of potentials and a big room to grow.

Or simply invest the rest 15K euros to BTC :P


What? He bought the coin at a lower price, it's just that he wasn't fully invested in altcoins before the fork canceled.

Wow man, this is really a very bad story, but dont lose your hope, you still have a lot of chances to invest and make a lot of money, if you have that amount of money, invest that on bitcoin right now, it is probably going to be very expensive before the end of this year, so you are not losing anything.
Maybe a twenty percent is a huge amount of money, but you can easily recover it if bitcoin goes upto $8200 from now, so dont worry mate, you still have some cards to play, lmao.
I was in the same situation a few months ago, and now i am on a 800% profit.

Unfortunate, but many many other opportunities coming in the near future!

You will get enough opportunities man, don't worry about missing this now.
There will be dips, there will be forks, lot's of things. We all missed profit at some points.



 

the alts havent even gone back to half where they were most of them so stop worring about a small rise from the bottom.

Of course if your chosen alts dont look low on the week  charts thats different.

Normally you enter cryptoworld via BTC (or ETH, LTC)...so for now, since you are holding Euros, you better wait for BTC to go down before purchasing.  Your wait may take weeks.

Investing in alts will depend on where the good coins are at that point.

Good luck!

i had the excat same problem when i was bought my snt's after agust, this market can be really bloody if you have no btc to save your alts otherwise just a holder for months

NO worries, Bitcoin hype will stop eventually and alt coins and new ICOs will rise. Just wait...

Wait for the btc dip!

Bud lack bro, Just pick wait for your alts to correct after the initial dump and fill your bags again, in the long run you will be good. Happy gainz, best of luck!

It's so unfortunate, but it is better to wait a little longer for the price to lower then buy it again, don't worry there will be plenty of time to do that, for now I think you can think to invest in btc, you can get free coin if you keep it until 16, if you don't want to  invest in btc you need to wait for a long time before you able to invest in what you want

Some alt coins are still undervalued, just look at anything on the list thats still not at the price it was 2weeks ago. Some good ICO's are also a good way to double up fast.

No free coin. SEGWIT was cancelled today.

Lol i have to tell you that i have laught my ass of when i read this story, lol. What a bad situation, but why dont you join to the market right now? maybe you can still make a good profit from it, alts will never stop going up and who knows, maybe you can double that money in just a few months from now, do not give up man, there are a lot of opportunities in this market, you only have to take all of them. Litecoin is the big example of that, and lisk is a good coin to invest now.

Don't worry just pick your coins again or invest in some icos. The next ico I am looking at is a quantstamp, they have their kyc until friday, you should join. They are basically protocol for auditing smartcontracts

instead of making a pointless thread..it's not too late to buy any alt coins..even though some have risen 20%+..still good prices if you plan to hold longterm

Yes there are some altcoins worth it to buy and it is still best to buy and invest. Buy alts worth for your attention and wait it to rise the price. If you plan to hold that choose altcoin has a future still you will earn profit.

Just keep the money, you might've lost that money anyway.
If you need a coin to invest in, look at the stats on Ethereum.

Cheer up, my friend. This quitted fork just normalized the situation with Bitcoin, and stopped this hype. Now dealing with altcoins will be more profitable and less risky. Install some application which shows the alts dynamics to your Android (for instance, Blockfolio) or iPhone and trade wisely.

why did you sell the altcoin. why so in hurry. segwit2x affect every altcoin but its better to keep the coin than selling them at lower price. altcoin you hold a bright future and I dont see reason why they should be dumped like some token. maybe you are a short time investor but you need to know that long term investment is the only sure way to making good ROI on some promising altcoin like NEO, WAVES etc

It's always a great time to be buying coins, we are still in early stages and it's just a matter of time before we start seeing rise  8)

Blood day will coming back soon. It's is already start.

We are all serious here :D You can't find someone kidding with a sense of humor, You need to understand that anything in crypto is heavily dependent on bitcoin, Investors have no real capital other than what they have already invested on bitcoin, When they profit from trading bitcoin they would then spend it on altcoins, People are not yet familiar with bitcoin which is the most famous electronic currency, Do you think normal people know anything about these sh*tcoins of ours and would invest on them if they knew about them? You are playing bitcoiners games when you enter into the sh*tcoin world :D

When you are doing what everyone else is doing, you're doing it wrong. Don't follow the crowd, learn your own way. Let this be a lesson.

This happens with many people and i think that you should wait for the prices for the bitcoins to drop as segwit2x's cancellation will cause some drop and that would be good time to buy bitcoin at cheaper rate.Or you would even try investing in alt as their prices might increase as bitcoins drops.Investing in ICOs can be also good place to invest if you could find a good ICO as you have to be careful with ICOs as many of them are scam.

Well, there's always up and downs in trading. At least You didn't lost these money. Cheer up, be patient and the right time will come, sooner or later.

you unfortunately do not think this time you should wait until the end of the year or can invest in the ico. This time investing in bitcoin or altcoin is not good

Talking about event of crypto benefiting your portfolio. That was a good profit for you there. However be very careful of how you trade. If you do not lock in your profit in bitcoin, you have not made that profit yet.

Such incident happen from time to time. Cheer up and lookout for an opportunity to enter the market again. Patience is the key, there are always chances in the crypto scene.

don't worry bro, keep hustling and you'll strike gold.

That is a worse idea to have. The investors that wanted to make money through Bitcoin could be cashing out at a loss. ICO's will cause them to have less money than they started with.

yes better study for if you might choose to invest in altcoin because we cant even know which coin will be the good to have in a long term because we know that the price of the coin on every coin in the market are not stable, they are not in the stable price.

most altcoins have no distinct values. not much they offer. no big value they add to humanity. mostly toys.

bitcoin = the real thing
eth = the real thing in version 2.0
litecoin / dash = the real thing for quicker tranfers
monero / zcash = more secure in means of anonymous tx

now what woull the other 900 alts offer, in spite of beeing cash machines for some and loosing machines for most?

Timing can be a major factor, are you being true to yourself and were you ready to pull the trigger? This has happened to all of us, but a lot of times we are waiting and thinking about making our moves and the investment goes the way we wanted/expected...


Buying and then you have to deal with when to sell...short term/long term, we have all been there.

we have plan to finish work with the makesup on bot with several ideas on service with the payloads,

damn :[
yes there were some serious pumps after the fork was cancelled
buy the dips ;]

15000euros ? wow a lot of money, what a shame  :(
But this is trading, have a lot of bright and dark sides inside. you need to have a lot of luck and knowledge sometimes instinct to feel what may happen soon/next to your picked coins. Definitely if you had and opportunity once and it was not a fortune you will create yourself similar situation/occasion soon. Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear that. We must be carefully guys. Although we have bad experience, I hope we have good progress. Success for our :)

Sorry to hear that but its probably just bad luck. But its not too late!

The fact that segwit2x is still canceled, altcoin prices will still continue to rise. If you wan't something safer i'd actually recommend Ethereum. Check out the charts, its on the rise and is due for a breakout soon. Don't give up and i hope you get to invest your money in good projects.

There is still a lot of room for most cryptos to increase, it's definitely not too late.

How do you understand the sentence" you can't be serious " ?

Fortunately there are many other options in which to invest. I think the fashion businesses are the ICOS and there you will undoubtedly find a great opportunity to multiply your money as many are doing. Do not limit yourself to thinking that only through bitcoin can money be obtained in this market!

That was hilarious.
Why do you get ssd about it? You should be celebrating. That just means that the coins you will be supporting are alive.
You will just have to look for another chance after this.
Why not look for another coin. Or get bitcoin itself since it will be in an increase for the next few days.

I think there are potential alternate coins out there that is ready to skyrocket anytime next year. There are apparently more than 10 alt coins (https://coinmarketcap.com/coins/) that has a double digit value and i think one or a couple of them might have a market value that will be off the charts next year. :)
