Bitcoin Forum

I suppose that there are some newbies (and some non-newbies too) out there who got invested over 10k, and are currently losing money.
Losing money is very stressfull, so I was just wondering... are you cutting your losses or you will hodl your stash untill 2020 and more following an "all or nothing" strategy?

Not losing money if I don't sell ;)
I've seen dips like this before, I kept strong and hodl and it ended up good.

You've only lost money if you've cashed out at a lower price than you've bought in at.

As long as you hold the Bitcoins, you have Bitcoins (or whatever crypto you have).

The market price is always fluctuating, and chances are you'll have a chance to make a profit at some point, even if it takes a while.

Dunno, but all this dumping into my buys is actually making me money.

I mined a few back in 2013 and then martin-galed some, so.... I can't lose money.

I made decent gains at the end of last year and tucked most it away at Vanguard. What I didn't remove from the cryptoworld i used in some day trading; over the last few days I'm at a loss of about 1/4ish the USD i kept around to trade with, the FUD did get to me (I will admit) when the market started speeding towards 11000. Overall I'm at a net gain and very happy about that but I'm still disappointed that I'm starting the year off with some losses. I have buy orders in now with a hodl mentality again and will probably spend less time trying my hand at day trading.

If you look at it this way though, it is a double edged sword. If you bought bitcoin at $100 and still haven't sold yet, you have not gained any money yet. IMO if you bought at $100 and held until now without selling, you are still currently losing a LOT of money. It's important to realize gains.

Everybody is. Bitcoin is money, if its value drops, then you are losing money.

I think doing a hold is very precise compared to cutloss. and adding another investment at a lower btc price. so you can earn multiple benefits when bitcoin prices go up again. and that seems to be the case with many investors who have long played in bitcoin.

I just bought some at $10k, looks like it's down  :'( worried I made the wrong decision...

On the paper, right now most people who are dealing with crypto currencies are losing money in some way.
Personally I am a big fan of the hodl strategy.
There were so many ups and downs, after a while I got used to them. Even to big ones like we see them at the moment.
At my early days, I tried to get ahead of the wave by selling and rebuying. That brought me nothing but stress and it never worked out the way I expected it to do.
Now I'm a hodler, and I sleep well. Never underestimate how important a good sleep at night is!

Sadly I bought some BTC around 9,800 thinking it might be the bottom.. A little worried now as it went down to 9500 levels.

Never buy any asset when it is behaving the way bitcoin is behaving now. Don't try to catch a falling knife. IMO you shouldn't invest in bitcoin at all but if you are going to, wait for it to calm down. Buying now is just 100% gambling. Pure luck - and the odds are stacked against you.

Everyone is losing at this point. The amount of losses depends only on the price they bought the currency for. Some lose more others less which is still very stressful for everyone.

I don't lose money. I don't sell now your coins. I believe that bitcoin restore their strength. Sell your coins now is a great folly. If each user is to keep calm and hold bitcoin, it will create a shortage of coins and the price will automatically go up. We are to blame for what is happening.

Why till 2020 ? More or less you will be proven wrong as bitcoin price will bounce back into $20k levels within this month for sure. Only the new investors who are treating bitcoin like any other stocks may get panic and will decide to cut losses earlier. But for those who are believing into the core concepts of bitcoin will not get panic even they have bought bitcoin above $10k levels.

May be losses in profit portions but definitely not in initial capital. Because I do see lots of people are holding bitcoins at least from 2015 and they might have bought bitcoins around $500 to $800 levels hence they will not go into any stressful experience.

That is no true at all.
The value is lower and if you have bought bitcoin on higher price than current and want to sell it now you will lose. But if you don't sell you lose only on paper, in theory and not for real. The best situation is of course if you have earned your coins.

I think many of us, Bitcoin investors, are in a situation like that... For me it's not a good idea to cut the losses by selling BTCs now or soon when the price rises a little, we are talking about Bitcoins, so it's "safe" to keep holding until you achieve the price you want to sell your coins, however it might not be necessary to wait by 2020 to sell, trading meanwhile would be recommended to maximize the profits.

There is no such a thing as losing when you just keep holding through. I know what the market can do, and accept that, so in good times I don't sell, and during "bad times" I don't sell. The only thing I do is try to do some trading in order to benefit from current fluctuations, and that's really it. And regarding losing money is very stressful, that only goes up if you invest with borrowed money, or invest with money that isn't meant to be invested. Over-investing can be a problem too -- never open positions that are too large, and especially not at times where the market is very close to peak levels. It's basically asking for problems....

Well, at the moment my Bitcoin dollar's is depreciating and i have full hope that the value will appreciate in time to come. Am not loosing money at the moment because i am not a panic seller because i believe in Bitcoin that value will bounce back from this current decline as a result of North Korea and China FUD. It is only people who sell at lost that will be counting their lost and not because Bitcoin and altcoins value are depreciating in dollar value.

By your own logic, you also have zero gains. You have not made any money until you realize those gains.

I don't agree with that logic though. I would argue that these gains and losses are real.

Yes this is not new to us as we have seen even worse crisis than this but as the history is the proof that bitcoin will rise again and get back stronger than ever so let's just hold on to bitcoin at the moment rather than regretting by selling it at the lowest price. Bitcoin can really give a good chunk of profit if we hold on to bitcoin instead of selling it.

Hmm you never heard of shorting?

Just like what other members will say, this is a good opportunity for us to invest more on bitcoin. It is true that there is a guarantee that you will earn profit when the price increases again but isn't this just one of those normal things that happens in crypto currencies. There will be times when the price is rally high and there are times when the price is really low but I think it is just a cycle. It is possible that those who have bought when the price is low have already earned from the pump that happened last year. Let us all be positive thinkers for we know that this how volatility works.

For me, I'm not losing my money on bitcoin, because I have goal when it hits $30000 prices on bitcoin I will sell half. So now I hold it until I reach my goal. I guess, many of us are holding their bitcoin too.

Not losing money just less profits ;D

If you do not sell coins during the price correction, then you will not lose anything. I have long ceased to panic and just wait for the price to grow to make a profit.

With bitcoin none experience a loss, everything that each and every bitcoin user encounter is a lesser profit than the time when price of bitcoin was at the peak point. With bitcoin one should never get into panic or fear of losing, because it is completely risk involved and the market can't be predicted in a precise manner.

the panic only causes us to lose. for what panic? we can still see and wait for the price to grow again until in the end we get profit. the panic only makes the price drop longer

Here's the thing, even of you bought in at 15 or 16k, you're still not in a loss until you sell your btcs. One lesson that is really.important is that patience in holding instead of panic selling will be the key to youe success. You can read it everywhere that btc will recover so all you need to do ia ride this out and reap your profits later

If they have not sold yet they have not lost a thing they just have potential losses the same way that those that celebrated when bitcoin reached 20k and did not sold only had potential profits, the strategy is to hold, it is the only strategy that makes sense, it can be difficult while you are losing money but it is the only choice you have if you want to avoid to lose your investment.

Every one should be patient. Those newbies who thought that they can earn 10x profit easily might sell their coins and loss their money. They regret investing in bitcoin. They will regret again not holding their coins. But those who are aware of this market, was ready for a such fall in prices and they are holding their coins.

If Bitcoin is money and you still have the same number of Bitcoins, then you have not lost your money. HODL!!!

People who hurriedly sold  their bitcoin as a  result of fear of price drop are the ones loosing treasure.Bitcoin is not money but an asset that can be converted to cash. Investment requires long term and also moving out of this dip situation also requires patience and perseverance.The best thing to do is to hold on, rather than selling, hold on to your bitcoins as it will actually bounce back with a great surprise to every holder of bitcoin. This occurrence of decrease in price is not new to bitcoin as history and other investors have attest to it that this is not the first decrease in price and later the price appreciated surprisingly. Holding is the secret for now and not selling.

You are not actually losing anything. Say you have 1 bitcoin, even after the price drops you will have 1 bitcoin. So technically you will lose some money if you sell it in fiat, but if you are holding you are losing nothing. This is where most newbies make a mistake. They see the price of bitcoin dropping, they start selling in loss. And when they see the price going up, they start buying and thus have less amount of coins.

The people who are losing out right now is the ones who are selling. I think that this pump has still got some distance to climb before actually being "dead" as people are calling it right now. And even when the pump is out of fuel, the price is still going to be respectable compared to the start of last year.

Yes, it's very stressful for newbies right now, but for long term holders like us, it's just ignorable noise.

A lot of newbies should reconsider their strategy of trying to make a quick buck from flipping bitcoin, because often even if they make a profit, they will miss out on the big picture. Bitcoin has a lot of potential that is still undiscovered. Until the day bitcoin is used in every shop and store online and in real life, bitcoin's rise is not over.

It's very obvious that each one of us (bitcoin holders) lose some money due to btc's drop. Whether you are holding or selling right now, we can't deny the fact that our savings are greatly affected by the big decrease on btc's value.

Yup! This is very stressful and gives me a lot of frustration that I sometimes come to the point attempting to sell all of my earnings to cut the losses but in the end I still choose to hold and believe that btc will rise again. I remain patient and calm despite of this bad happening.

Honestly, I already experienced this kind of dips several times before but I still can't get used to it. :(

Almost everyone has experienced a loss, and I think it is an experience form. With experience we will learn how to invest properly.
I will cut lose because I think if I just keep quiet then I will not get anything. I dare to take risks in order to make a profit.

Losing money is usual things especially in crypto, everything is so unpredictable, so everyone must ever experienced losing money, don't sell your coin if you think there are still chances to go up, if you are stashing Bitcoin then just hold, one day it will go up again, Bitcoin rising potential is still big, I already lose a lot of money in this drop but I am positive that Bitcoin price will go up

hodl, then you will not lose money. if we are selling in a dip because of fear, then its a loss. but it will come upn again. in my opinion worlds 50% only knows about bitcoin. specially old generation dont even heared about it.

And what they lose, they hold back because they see that in the loser. But when the price goes up they are activated, now why are few people being purchased. And they keep it and do not buy it, it is clear that the price is still moving dynamically but still interesting.

Basically I think it's good if we don't be afraid to losing money if have an intend to invest on start, I guess a doubt only lead to a regret at the end. The price movements that's easily influenced by many things, I don't think it will continue to decline.. in the long run, I still believe.. it can still moving to be higher. So if it's not as expected.. there's a way for a long term to be able to gain profit, just optimistic.

The huge wave of muggles that bought at the top, and amateur daytraders that panic.

This is only true when you think of the value of bitcoin in terms of fiat, but you still have the same amount of bitcoin in your wallet no matter what it is the current price, so no, you are mistaken, also while everyone has less profits than when bitcoin was 20k that does not mean we are at a loss, the one that bought at 10 dollars has great profits, the price could crash up to 11 dollars and he will still be in profit.

I just hold my Bitcoins for now, so I don`t lose anything. I think we all just need to wsit until Bitcoin`s price starts to grow again. I suppose it will be very soon. So don`t lose your hope and confidence! Bitcoin will show us again its strength and might.

Even when we hold bitcoins is so stressful because the money you expect to earn sometimes when the price value goes down it also affects .In crypto loosing money is always happens if we dont know how to manage our money as well and also our emotions  to control when it goes down.

btc will recover. but sometimes in the process of waiting for the recovery of btc we experience obstacles, such as need money that forces us to sell our investment dendan low price. that is a very difficult obstacle for us to avoid in the present. because of the urgent economic circumstances

Usually when I am investing into something, I put my trust and faith into it so regardless of what happen I will not sell it until the deadline or target date on when I am going to sell it because I know this is a long-term investment and investing in cryptocurrency is a roller coaster ride it's not gonna be always in the top.

Now, the most reasonable solution seems to be to keep bitcoin. This is actually a very stressful situation for people who have bought and now they are losing money. At the moment there is no optimism in the market, but in the long term the price should increase.

Optimism is always there, but there is a difference between blind optimism and optimism based on the facts, those that are blindly optimistic about bitcoin have a difficult time maintaining it when things begin to go in the wrong direction for them and that is why holding for them is difficult, but for those that know why they are optimistic holding is easy even when they are losing money.

Yes I agree. Losses always may you tensed and depress. Holding only make you to free from this two.Now the price of bitcoin crossed 11400$,So the people who inverse when the price is 10k$ will get some profit now.In ten days you are getting 1000$ for a bitcoin, just think how much you will get ,if you hold it for a month.

As I am holding Bitcoin and do not sell it yet I do not think that I am losing my coins. The money that I have invested into this crypto will come back to me in a few months. However, even if I sell BTC now, it will be a good deal – I bought crypto for the price under 6K.

Maybe the mindless people who invested in bitcoin in its moon days when it was its rocking 17k-19k around value and believed in it at the wrong time maybe, they are losing money. But saying losing money maybe incorrect as there are high chances of bitcoin rising again making them good amount and recover the current temporary so called loss.

So, after 3 pages of discussion, NOBODY is selling for a loss?

I find it very strange, because the volume and the price tell me that a lot of people were buying @15-20k usd, and a lot of people are selling now.
I doubt that these 2 groups don't overlap at all, cutting losses is not an uncommon strategy when trading, seems odd to me that nobody cut any loss here...

That could indicate that many of the people in the forum either bought when the price was a lot cheaper or are very stubborn individuals, I think that those that bought at the top are the ones selling, anyone that bought when the price was 5k or similar has not really a reason to sell, besides in my particular case I do not really have any need for that money, I invested that money knowing full well that I could lose it all, and while I'm not losing money I'm not going to sell my bitcoin for these low prices.

Maybe the newbies that joined in december lost some money, but im Sure they will get it back and a lot more im february. We will see how every coin recovers its value during february and maybe 1 week of march also. I hope all the newbies that joined didnt sell their Coins cheap during this mounths or they will regret. Just hold and buy if you have the money to!

Well said. You still have the same amount of BTC even during this dip. All the panicking ones don't realize or believe in the true future of bitcoin. Bitcoin will surpass its last ATH, that's for sure, so no money is lost, only gained, if people only hodled instead of being impatient.

Those who lose money in bitcoin are the people who are selling on loss out of fear causing panic selling. The last downfall that happened was the distribution stage, the whales have discreetly sold their position to the newbies who are jumping the bandwagon in BTC. What's happening currently is the accumulation stage of institutional buyers who are buying cheap BTC from those who are panic selling. A few months from now, we could see another uptrend for BTC.

People who might have invested in bitcoin when it was over 10k and chose to hold it for a long time can be assumed to be losing money due to this drop. But they are not exactly losing money because they have it with them and it definitely will rise giving them profits, so it can be said that they are dealing with some TEMPORARY LOSS but they have their bitcoin as an asset with them which will make them good profit in the coming future.
The ones losing money are who bought high and sold low just because of fear of losing their "left" money.

Those who sold their coins lower than the price they bought them were the one who lost their money. How could someone having some BTCs bought at 19k, for instance, lose their money if the BTCs are still intact. The coins are still there so when the price goes over 20k and they sold their coins then they gained. Regardless of the current price, as long as the coins are untouched, you lose nothing.

Stress being a psychological factor hits very hard when you're forced to sell at a loss. I have personally seen people panic sell not only crypto but stocks too ,and seen them stress and regret later on. I'm neither hodling nor cutting down the losses. I wait to get a profit inconsiderate on how much time it takes(may sound similar to hodling but it is not),and mostly try to wind up my trades in the short run.

Those people who are buying bitcoin's at its peak, I'm pretty sure they'll be in troubled and possible thay they are selling their coins for they are afraid btc will fall into nothing.  Though we can't laugh at them,  considering that they really don't realize and purely profit are in their mind without knowing of holding and keeping patience. 

My friend. He is so stressed right now. He is new to crypto and when he saw bitcoin was ranging from 18-20k USD, he took advantage of the opportunity to buy since the speculations during that time that bitcoin might reach 50k. Now he doesnt know what to do. I advised him to hold more longer. I hope he will not blame me for advising him to do so.

1 bitcoin is still 1 bitcoin regardless of the USD value, if you’re HODLING you’ve lost nothing.
Who here doesn’t think we’ll see 1 bitcoin worth $50,000 by 2021?

It should be done well before the block halving that in current times is going to take place at the beginning of June in 2020. With lightning network being globally deployed we should be able to reach it before the end of 2019.

In other words, $50,000 by 2021 is on the conservative side, and thus we should be focusing on $100,000 to be achieved by that time. It means that Bitcoin's market cap will break through the $2 trillion dollar mark.

Gold currently has a market cap of $8 trillion, and who knows how much of that will flow into Bitcoin at some point in the future. I want to experience the moment when Bitcoin surpasses gold in that aspect. It will happen. 8)

Not me.  ;D


You should at least tell him the idea of fluctuation and price correction and how the markets work. As a newbie they should learn the basics first before putting a lot of money because it could be stressful if they can't handle the downfall. The market is like a roller coaster or a sling shot but the better way to imagine it is like a wave in the ocean.

Trading is particularly at risk of losing crypto, especially for beginners who have absolutely no knowledge in this field. Like last month, bitcoin values ​​dropped dramatically. all surely many are losing their money, losing money in bitcoin investment should not have happened, because all that can be overcome with patience. because the true value of bitcoin will definitely come back, or maybe even better.

That is why joining trading and investing in digital currencies is very risky because Bitcoin price is unpredictable and i believed it was manipulated too by the Big whales or by the Bitcoin haters in which all we can do is to closely monitor the update and news so that we will never be left behind of what will going to happen. Like now Bitcoin is going to reach $9,000 in which will attract more people to invest more then after pouring their investment it will suddenly drop again because the Big whales will sell high and buy low again after creating a panic scenarios.

In my very own opinion its better to hodl it than sell it in loss or if i were the newbie who bought it higher than 10k usd i will buy some good coins rather than waiting for bitcoins to comeback. A higher opportunity to earn in altcoins and to make a breakeven earning of earn more bitcoins but the big risk to a nrwbie if he hasnt involve in crypto trading yet. For that i would advise it to hodl only and try to learn trading as much as he can.

For me, those who are shaken by the spread of FUD topics and discussions are the ones who likely gave up and end up selling their bitcoin at a cheap/losing price.
Even HODLers like me are losing too especially when you bought bitcoin at 16,000$ and plummets down its value at 6,000$+. Although it's frustrating to watch bitcoin's graph everyday, you better yet stop looking at the graph so you won't be tempted to sell your bitcoin.

I also cut my loses but I buy again with low price when I think the price is getting higher again. My mother also invested with bitcoin when the price is more than $10k so she still lose, but still she is holding all her bitcoin and waited for it to get higher again.

   I would not call it losing money. My first purchase was at
$3000, after that I purchased Bitcoins many times.
   My first Ethereum I bought at $400, next one at $1050.
   Then recently I bought Litecoins at $150.
   My point is that we are buying coins at cheap prices at the
moment. Up and downs are normal in young markets, thus
manipulations. Relax and wait for the rise, we are only at
the beginning. I will not stop with buying Bitcoins, everything
under $50000 is cheap. 

From this moment the price was crashing down everyone of us are losing money but because we need to be patient all we have to do is hold until when it increasing.Better to be calm and relax now I am hoping for recovering of price value.

Others will not understand this because they are only looking at the fiat(USD) value of bitcoin. And asthey have bought when it was around $19,000 or higher than $10,000 they are only thinking about their loss but they are not looking at the brighter side that they can purchase more.

3 years from now? I think we can see it at $50,000.

people who are selling them in the market are losing the Money. But in many 1 bitcoin is always equal to 1 Bitcoin but the thing value of the coin is decreasing when there is less demand. The value of the coin is increasing when there i huge demand in the market.

The continuous crash lately affected the investors with regards to their Bitcoin investment. Indeed, they are losing money lately but it is now recovering. Slling also will just make its market value to fall even more and we should aboid that to help market price to recover. Market is now showing green marks which means that the market value of the cryptos are now rexovering so we should hold and invest more to earn profit as its value is recovering.

For me losing money in bitcoin, if we don't investment again in bitcoin. In bitcoin there is no word said losing money.
Because bitcoin is investment, so investment is for a long term not short term. If the price drop down is time to hold your bitcoin or you can buy more bitcoin for investment. Don't sale your bitcoin when the price down, you will losing your money.

A lot of people who just started investing bitcoin during the peak surely lost a lot of money when bitcoin price's fall. That's why doing a careful research before investing is really important. Don't be driven by your emotion, not because a lot of people got rich because of bitcoin means that you will get the same result in a short span of time.

Something being considered an investment doesn't mean it's automatically a long term investment. In case of Bitcoin, both short and long term investors get what they want, and plenty of it. Bitcoin's wild and recurring fluctuations make it a perfect investment tool for slow-traders performing the occasional buy low sell high method. Bitcoin's massive future potential makes it obviously a solid long term investment. Thing to keep in mind is that people trading or performing buy low sell high, more often than not also have a seperate stash of coins they solely hold for the long term. It's a matter of utilizing your options and resources in the best possible fashion.

I know of an friend in one of these telegram groups that bought bitcoin when it was over $15k which was painful when it dropped but he resorted to day trading to cut his losses and I must say this guy is determined to get back his money and likely for him he sold all his coins when it dipped to 12k and bought more when people thought there was a crypto crash now price sitting over 8k his made his profit.

People talk about not losing money until you sell, but it's a double edged sword. That same logic implies that you haven't gained any money until you liquidate your position either. Honestly the best way to look at it is that when the price goes up, you make money... and when the price goes down, you lose money. Your gains/losses can change constantly, but selling will cause that to stop, effectively locking in whatever gains or losses you have.

Just because you plan to wait a long time before selling bitcoin doesn't mean you have not lost money over the past month or so. Everyone who owns bitcoin has been losing money recently.

Dont 'over invest' would be a quick point.   Just that worry alone forces bad decisions, some of the people who gained most did so because they committed and were able to forget the idea of selling, not going to happen for anyone taking big risks so dont

Money is ultimately all about security and storage of value, if the market is stressed then it shows in that balance between those have gained and those who have lost.  In the price that probably matters a fair bit to market confidence.    Thats why Bitcoin has to form an economy, continuous revenue streams are important to stability.    Nobody in the world can always work all day every day, everyone has to rest and pass the baton and its a natural process in global trade daily every hemisphere comes into focus and passes value to the others.

I dont think plain Bitcoin gains anyway, it has to be part of some business to receive proper growth.    There has to be more applicable businesses out there but I think holding some bitcoin in a gambling operation who require a float is more valid way to hold value in crypto economy.   At least some holding, I generally disagree with the whole all or nothing thinking as nobodys absolutely sure whether high growth ideas will survive or thrive?

The ones who lose money’s in bitcoin are those who went panic selling. Who sold their bitcoin on low price than their investment because of fear to lose more. So, to avoid lossing in bitcoin one should learn the value of patience specially these times.

When the bitcoin price started to fell down from huge price since last year are experiencing losing money on bitcoin. Most of us has losing a lot because of this current situation if we cut loses another huge lose. The best that we can do in this moment is to hold the patience that price of bitcoin will swing to rise up.

We'll only lose if we sell ir, jist put patoence and now that somehow it will increase too like it always did before, it's jist a correction.

lose it or not it depends on them. I am their position, surely they are very tense! but if they are patient and hold it they will not lose their money. they could benefit from all this, the storm must pass and now we just need to set a good strategy and always think positive because it will not forever the situation continues like this.

Exactly, we need patience and think positive that bitcoin will rising again. We need strategy that is holding our bitcoin because if we sell we really in losing money.

If you got in mid december, then regardless of anything, you're in a loss right now. And there are a lot of people like that. Personally i've been keeping btcs since 2016 so i'm still in profit so the dump didn't really affect me as much as those that bought above 10k. Just hold guys. You haven't really lost yet unless you sell

I think, those who panic sell during the time when bitcoin is so down are the ones that loses money for they sell their bitcoin at a lower price. I don't ever think they can also recover their losses because they might be losing their interest in bitcoin too.

As of now i have gain big profit in bitcoin. I think those people who invested in bitcoin when its value is at around $19k lost big money.

Not me. I only sold those coins that there are still profit because I originally planned holding it for a few months to multitply that profit but plans have changed. Now, I'm just holding all the btc and crypto that keep falling in value.

Of course those ones who were not the lucky ones to buy Bitcoin and altcoin on its peaks can be the losers. Suppose the guys who keep Bitcoin for many years worry less.

people who lose money are the ones who sell bitcoin when the price drops exceed the price when they bought, I think many people do that because they are getting panic and they assume if bitcoin prices will not rise again. I am not lose my money although I a little panic but I keep to hold because I know I will get a lot of profit in the future.

Those who are at loss are those who sold their bitcoins despite of the decline of price. Regardless when they bought if they are still holding their coins then they haven't lose anything. The problem with some many people is that they are always comparing Bitcoin to fiat (i.e. USD) in terms of losing and gaining even though their asset is still in cryptocurrency. You could only say that you've gained/lost when you sold your assets.

I think those who sell bitcoin in a state of panic, because they see bitcoin prices continue to decline and of course they will lose money from bitcoin.
Therefore, i continue to hold until now, waiting for the price to recover and fast rise, because i believe the value of bitcoin will return to strengthen and the increase is not unstoppable anymore.
Never make foolish decisions because it will make you lose everything, stay patient and calm facing situations like this.

The only People that may be losing money at the moment are the ones that invested in the last days of december or in january, but if they holded and didnt sell cheap, they will recover all the money and they will probably doble it during this year.

So many mate and the people who lost on the current Bitcoins price fall down are the hodlers who used to store their bitcoins on cold storage, But some of them are not panic for the fall and they still keep holding their bitcoins since they know they it could pump in future.

Not me because fortunately i sell my Bitcoin when its fall to $11k from the $19,700 highest value but i purchase it at $9.4k baseline so i still earned the difference from $1.6k but wasting the opportunity to earn more from $19k is really a disappoinment. I keep on holding even it hurts that time so i lost that much more opportunity but i realized now that there is sell high and buy low strategy in which i will going to apply next time.

I don't actually care about the current BTC price.. All that counts for me is to get a bigger amount of BTC because I believe that the price will go up in the future.
So I didn't "lose" any money because I didn't sell my BTC. :)

I suppose that someone sold his btc @ 7.5k-ish, so they realize a loss.

Who sold the bottom? ;)

This is the reason why you should invest what you are willing to lose. So in this case, you should hold back until you recover your money.

Newbies will never understand this simple words / reminder from the old investors. They only think about the gain all the time and thinks that bitcoin will always up with its price.
What's good news about those people who invested on $10,000? Say hello to the charts again as it went back to $10k.  ;)

All of us have probably lost money on BTC, however now that it's rallied above 10k expect another bull run. I can't see it falling much further than this.

Yes, this was happen to me. I was buying few Btc when price at $10k in early this Feb, i thought it was just correction only but the price was fall dip because many news that affect on it. So,i decided to cut-loss sell at $9k, then i bought back when it was $6k very lower price. Good condition now price still increasing and market going positive trends for trading.

those who sell bitcoin at cheap prices and do not have a good strategy are the ones who get the loss, because the total supply of bitcoin is very limited it should be able to make bitcoin prices more expensive than this.

If you have bought on all time high and in order not to lose money then don't sell because things will go back to where it is. You will not be stressed in a dip situation if you are only investing money which you can afford to lose. Easier said than done though.

Who is losing? All those who have invested at high price and didn't have enough patience to wait for the price to recover but started to sell and those who have invested more they can afford to lose.
It is crucial to have the plan and the strategy and count your profit and loses on lob term, not just for the moment. Many still haven't learned to act like this.

This is perfect! This is not just applicable is life but perfect for investment as well.
In this investment, I would like everyone to understand that we are not losing. We are just holding and waiting. There is no lose in bitcoin I swear that.
When we started doing tradin, we should have been oriented about that.

Well, as long as you haven't converted your bitcoin to fiat you are not losing money. However, I think a lot of people who cut their losses when the market crashed lost a lot of money. Panic selling will do you no good because all you get is loss. Don't panic sell during crash when you don't really need fiat money. Just hold your coin and wait for the market to recover.

The one who'll just loss here are those short term holders as they bought in above $10k and planning to sell in below $10k which is really unwise to do. They easily panic because of the constant drop and selling is their last resort without thinking they'll actually losing. But those long term holders didn't bother a lot because they know that this is just temporary and eventually the price will recover and beat its last all time high.
