By what percentage did your assets go down to during January?
P/S: this is not a contest you want to win  ;D

a lot. about 63% so far which is quite stressful. I am waiting for the rise again which is hopefully soon, i have a good spread of coins so i am confident they will bounce back during feb.

That depends at what prices we have bought the bitcoin. For me my entry points are multiple and last time I bought my bitcoin was in December down surge. The first one I bought was at china fall during year 2017. And the second after that one was first week of the December. This is how my entry was in multiple point and it’s different % drop all over. According this math my first trade is still in +10-12% as I bought the bitcoin at 5k or something. The two of the trades that I made later we’re around 13k or something. So that’s again -30% (approximately), I’m sure overall I’m standing at break even point.

what do you think the main reason for bitcoin dumping during January ?

The price went up too fast, there is not as many people in Bitcoin than most people think. The price should go back to its normal trend when more people flock into Bitcoin.

like january moon, is a month of misfortune for me
I lost about 50% of my assets, and that was the biggest loss I've ever experienced, it was like a nightmare come true
and I hope I only experience it once, just once
because it feels really annoying   >:(

I'm all in bitcoin and I usually just cash out what I need to spend in life , so my capital went down
but still I prefer to compare it with what it was 5 months ago , we are still up
these swings come and go , I only feel bad for newbies who don't know when to buy and panic quickly cause these may lose their life savings

my assets were at over 3000% in december, based on my very old original purchase price (yep i have been invested for a while)
and went down to about 1000% this week.

but still in profit holding.

i did buy more this month too seeing as it was the january sales period.. seeing as the prices were low id b stupid not to have

More than 100%, anymore I don't calculate my losses, the only thing I can do is now waiting. I need to shut down this computer, it is really risky investment  :-[

Currently sitting at a 59% loss from ATHs.  I could have been a little more aggressive with my trades 2 weeks ago and sold more, saving my self some pain, but tough decision.

If the bitcoin price drop is calculated on a percentage basis then maybe the assets I have decreased about 10% because I bought bitcoin at that time not much different than the current price so maybe if I panic and sell bitcoin now then the loss is not too significant. However, I enjoy this process and I am still convinced the bitcoin price will recover quickly after some of the problems that bitcoin currently encounters ends. The effect of this decline is that digital assets are in decline but this decline is very good for bitcoin in the future because all of the assets used to invest will definitely be corrected.

it went up.. cause i acquired more bitcoins..

if you measure your assets in fiat currency, dont !

Well, I have more Bitcoins now, than before the dump, so my Bitcoin asset went actually up. Since I don't care very much about the price in FIAT, the pumps and dumps are not relevant for me.

Down? the amount of coins that I have went up, I've long given up on checking how much profit in USD I've made.
The amount of Bitcoin and other altcoins that I have in my posession is all what counts for me.

I'm pretty glad that we're seeing these prices again, had been hoping to buy some coins for less than 10k  ;D

I lost probably 70% but if crypto survives we will all make it back plus some.  I hope a big run is in our near future

It went down by 90% I stopped holding and moved my bitcoins to my local exchange to trade them for fiat so I don't have to worry about the price anymore because it makes me anxious. I still have some dusts left though just in case I need it for the fees and other stuff.

It will survive who told you crypto won't survive?

I was up 400%...yesterday I was at about 130 .
Right now +183

 I did not see much difference. I'm sitting on the tidings. always get a decent enough profit. But it happens where there is less, but where there is more

Yes this is a completely new era! And even very comfortable. Many now live comfortably thanks to her

Because of the rate, many people's capitalisation became much less, more than by 50 percent. But not everyone is in a hurry to sell their coins, many still hold onto them.

My whole portfolio went down as much as 50%, and it made me smile quite a bit. Why? Simply because it allowed me to buy more alts and cut my loses and have a cost averaging. Net, I ended up with a bug full of the altcoins that I have for a lower price. Just keep on HODLING during red days. That is the key.

I had invested in only bitcoins and I saw about 185 growth in last 30 days. I am going to invest some more money in bitcoin cash.

The month of January is such a big disaster for me, I got quite a big loss, almost 60% I lost my assets, hopefully this is the last loss I got. I will make this as my experience investing in crypto, hopefully in the next few months I can benefit.

My assets fell by 50 percent in January. That's the biggest loss I've ever experienced.

The volatility scares me. I haven't sold it. I'm down 30 percent now, and I'm growing.

always invest only you amount, which is not a pity to lose, because investing is a risky activity

Although the first two months were good for buying coins, especially January, I tried to refrain from any transactions, and I am still waiting for the prices that are right for me.

At the beginning of my investment experience, I was very afraid to start very much afraid to lose everything, but I found a person who taught me everything. I am very grateful to him.
