Tell me how you feel.


How much did you lose?

I lose time reading this ...

Hello! I feel good, because I don't watch  every hour in the blockfolio. ;D
I lost half my profit, but I do not panic! The market will grow and I will earn even more! ;)

Did you sold the dip? LOL!  ;D

It depends, you bought btc at $17K and what if bitcoin is going to reach that price in 2019, can you wait such long time? Some have to sell.

at the moment nothing sold, it was before when I sold coins at a loss

As for Strategy and good Analysis in trading you will find Profit or Loss. Where these two things you will encounter in bitcoin trading business. Every time and money you use is worth the price, so being an effective trader is the solution to achieve success that is worth taking into account.

I am on loss today a big loss rather when I have checked my portfolio. All are in bloody red like in btc I have, but those who really sold theirs are in losing a lot. So when you have keep on mind not to get panic rather hold for a moment because I also hopes their is something big will happen.

Yes,we didn't lost anything until we sell the bitcoins so keep all our coins soon the price of crypto will get into green chart.There are many rumors caused and causing the price fall so people need to stop spreading the fake news to stop these price fall.

Luckily I didn't invest in Bitcoin. I'm still at a profit despite the fact that I joined late (early november).

Now it's time to dump all the crypto currency ... Do not panic, you just have to wait. I believe that after a while the crypto currency will again grow. The main thing is not to panic and not to sell your coins on the dump.  :)

Time to buy more! Fire sale!

tell me how you feel?
thats too straightforward and blunt and is going to hurt some of us  ; :-\ :-\
i did not loose much approximately 100$ but still a loss was a loss
many of my friends lost a huge amount and now that this dip id continuously taking place people have started to loose hope.

One do not have tompanic that much to the extent of dumping your coins at a loss. Every business has its own risk and at sometimes uncertainties sets in. At this critical time, all you need do is to keep calm and look how the whole thing unfolds because I know those who hold their coins will be so glad they did.

Actually no one is sold at a loss, they sold with the hope to buy cheaper more coins, if you sold and exit, you don't know this game.  :)

You can't blame panic sellers at the moment, with the recent FUD and Attack. It's just funny how well orchestrated those FUD and regulations are being implemented, but yeah sadly those who sold at a loss will be loser but we cannot tell how deep can bitcoin go. I think eth should take over for sometime

I have bought half of my extra money , that's my experience. I join the game once big dump comes, how much I will lose ? Time will tell.

if I have not sold assets, then I have not got a loss, but only its value is reduced.

all those whose asset value is down, are worried and sad. but there are also some people who are happy, because they think this is an advantage to buy back.

I'm not gonna sell any of my coins at the moment, I'm aware they could go even lower and I would be able to buy them back at a lower price but that's just too risky to me. I would gladly buy using fiat on the other hand but I only have a couple hundreds I'm willing to use now. I'm probably gonna invest more next week

I sold a few coins which are now even cheaper so I can actually just buy them back for less if I want. You act like it's over, but it's not. Everything is still crashing as I type this. Maybe not as hard, but it's still falling....

i bought xrp for 20 cents, sold 1k xrp today, which made hardly anything. BTC bought for 5k, sold 2 btc for 15k a while back and holding 2 more for now. SOLD 5000 TRON TODAY, 2000 VERGE AND DUMPED OVER 10K CARDANO AND POWR. sOLD ALL MY WAVES A WHILE BACK. IM out of the crypto game, its dead finished, it was a good run and caused me alot of stress. IT was A huge PONZI. dont be the one holding the bag at the end.

It is very common to lose in trading the most important do not panic sell because panic sell will bring more losses, emotional control is the best

No one who sells at a loss has a good feeling. We should learn to protect us from losing .Never be panic , it's the start and the most important.

I have not lost anything because I did not sell anything.
I just wait and when it comes to growth, it will be bigger than before.
Just hold and wait, don't panic.

Hi
As for Strategy and good Analysis in trading you will find Profit or Loss. Where these two things you will encounter in bitcoin trading business. Every time and money you use is worth the price, so being an effective trader is the solution to achieve success that is worth taking into account.
Thank for your topic ;)

Of course there are many people who are too afraid . They sell their coins even if they are losing their main investment. They are one of the main reason why coin markets are in this situation right now . This down trend will end and coins will recover . I see lots of rumors coming about a restriction from India but they are false . They are only gonna make some legal arrangements . I don’t wanna think about the consequences of a restriction from USA or China.

Nah, don't have to sell when i know i'm going to lose it anyway, money is essentials to my investments. People should learn how to control their self and to have a patience because sooner or later they will taste their victory, just keep calm and HODL. They may be red for now, but i'm sure they will turn green tomorrow. Buy more if it is down and you will not regret your decision today.  ;D

Hello  Jon88 :D
Here I was read an awesome answers and I am agreed if person are trader or investor he or she must have such things as patience and belief in crypto because it's not traditional assets as platinum, aurum or argentum. I am happy right now and don't worry at all for two reason. First reason no matter how much you loose just continue learn new things, improve yourself and your strategy and never give up no matter what you see right now! First  don't worry because panic cannot change nothing! Be strong and have you own position even if all world want sell all the digital assets! Good luck to all!)

Of course with the current situation my poftfolio is down. But I'm still not selling anything so I don't think that I lose something. Its only down by a few percentage but I'm in it for the long haul so I'm not touching anything on my wallet.


Really funny though to read those FUD waves around the forum. And noobs suddenly dump their coins which they bought at top price of $17K-$19K. They should have hold on but sadly they are affected by a lot of FUD here and other social media outlets. They instead should wait and not panic sells, too bad for them.

I never bought BTC.
So I am still profitable from all coin I hold.

In times when the exchange rate is falling massively like this, making the sale decision is entirely wrong. In this situation, you should buy because at present the price of the cryptos are at the bottom. Also, in the downtrend of the exchange rate should not be sold, just buy and hold because if you sold, you would have been to lose a lot.

I dont lose anything because from the start i know how the market works,you will only lose a lot of money if yoi do panic selling when the market bleeds,these bloodbaths are pureply market manipulations by these bigplayers and whales,plus the financial institutions are doing their best to destroy our crytocurrency market,our decentralized market is in great danger but we should take some action to prevent this collapse!

Panic is a meanningless factor that can pull you down into the demise. HODL your coins and be brave! Fight your emotions that are currently tearing you apart because of the catastrophic situation in the bloody market. We are all witnessing significant changes but selling now will only make you regret afterward. Cryptocurrencies will rise again and all the countries and their false governments with pointless manipulation won't stop the progress into the better tomorrow. Selling now will only make you loose after! It is a delusion that the enemies of crypto want you to experience. Think properly and smartly! HODL the portfolio steady and satisfaction will come afterward. We must all prevail over this bizarre situation that is blinding our sight with a red color. Green grass will shine again and the cryptos will rise to the point where they are destined to come!

Just hold and try to forget, stop panicking and be patient
Long Live the Deep Onion!

lost and gone, now and raise your head and regain your profits in trade, I will not sell when I am losing, always safe until I return to green, or at least I hold myself to have an acceptable loss, will have several opportunities to recover the lost. never give up

It doesn't matter how much I've lost , the real loss is when you loose patience, faith,& optimism because any financial loss is widely recoverable by just taking the appropriate behaviour in such situations.
And remember this : It's not the end , it's just a battle, not the end of the war

If someone sells cryptos at present, that person will probably lose money. If I were you, I would choose HOLD TO DIE instead of selling to cut losses. Parallel to the hold, it should be buying more cryptos because its exchange rate has almost reached the bottom for BTC, ETH.

my poftfolio is still red but ill never sell for lost . best thing is hodl until market recovers and don't panic stay calm

Right now I hold with nearly -80% loss. It was my craziest 2 months in my trading experience... From 20000usd I made 90k and than loose more than 70k in january...

In these kind of days I don't look at all in my blockfolio! :D I guess most of the people lost half of their value - not very funny, but that's how things go in this field. The worse thing is those who HAVE to sell at a loss because they had invested what they could not afford to lose.

when there is a crash, everything thinks "sell"... flip that thought around and during a crash think "BUY"!

Its a crypto sale black friday event,  buy in quick before the recovery starts

Selling cryptocurrency at a loss is only a foolish decision. Price fluctuation is very common in cryptocurrency, so if there is a down trend one should not get panic and sell the coin if it is at a loss. All that is required is some patience to hold the coin till the time its price touches the profit mark.

I think we will see marketcap under 300 Billion this month. Really sad to see.

yes you are right if you are affected selling your assets at a price that is falling then you will get a loss and I have experienced losses because affected from other people's talk until it reaches a loss of more than $ 1500 and that's the first loss because it does not understand how to trade correctly .

I call such people weak!
Because when the crypto currency falls, it is called "rule of weak hands"
, but the strong always keep it!

The right decision not to sell anything in the negative . And the right assets will always grow back and even above the level of your purchase . To sell less and counting your losses is not the correct solution

I didnt sell anything whem the bloodbath happened,but im sure that those who did panic selling that time surely lose a lot of money.This is why i do hold when i am stucked with some coins,because only few hours are needed for the market to get recover from any bloodbaths,weak hands will always fall,and those who hold will always survive any market crash.

once i sell some altcoin that i holding for a loss, and it take off to the moon the very next day, feel like shit the whole day

For those newcomers in crypto and that's just like a heart attack to see the majority of their portfolios get a lot of decreases caused by the big bearish of crypto. Those people are cut loss their investment will be regretting it soon. I have seen some people in here are mourning to cut loss their investment at the bottom.

People are betting all of their lives at the peak of the price.

Panic is one of the basic concepts for traders who fail in tradding. Patience is one of the concepts to lead to success in trading. So be patient when you've jumped into the trading business.

It is funny question but can be deeply in heart moreover if someone just getting or being lose. It is better to answer that trading should not use feeling, just logic and rational with best preparation such as risk management. It is common in high risk business like crypto trading or other currencies trading will gain in high profit or big loss.

I am not dumb enough to do something stupid like that,holding is the best thing to do when the market crashed and you are trapped with these altcoins,we need to know that the market is too volatile which it can rise and fall un just few hours,manipulators love to see the people who panic,because the prices of each coin in the market will surely go down one by one.

I think they're too upset now to go to the forum :D actually, no need to Troll these people. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have made a profit.

here, even the strategy will not help, it is impossible to calculate all the details. and do not be upset, lost today, win tomorrow.

That's their decision, they knew that when they sell they lose. we should be aware that losing only happens when we decide to sells it especially at dump, some considered themselves loss when they see the price too high the moment they sell them, everyone experience such thing, it will be a lesson learn for them now.

If I don't sell assets, then I'm not losing money, but my current assets are down by 30 percent.

All those whose asset values have fallen are worried and sad.

I can only wait patiently for the market to recover.

every person has ever gone at a loss. there's no escape from it. that's life. the main thing is not to give up and continue to go forward.

sometimes cut loss are needed.
when market failing and the chart still bearish,its wise to cut loss and buy back at deep.
so u can gain more profit then u just wait the market bullish.

I have a lot of experience of sold below the buy price. It is hard to the feeling of that. When I sold so low, it means I fell less hope about the price.  :'(

I have learned from my loss that panicking is an enemy to traders. I panicked and sold off my coins the the the market turned and starts to move up again after i have sold. I now know that you are yet to lose until you sold off.

Seeing many friends show bitcoin investment of tens of millions at the end of March has doubled in size, I also began to learn how to buy and sell. Because the price was so fast I did not have much time to consider, I decided to buy 4 bitcoins, but after only a month I lost $ 1000, I thought it was business so nothing to worry about it.

If you did step in shit coin then you must sold It because chance to price recovery very small. Then better invest in gem and get profit.

Sometimes it just necessary to take losses if you have a trade strategy. But the best way for unexperienced members is a hold strategy anyway. The patience always wins.

The first thing is do not panic. The market is down for now that's why u just gotta hodl and wait for a profitable time to sell specially if you invested in a well established coin. For now, it's a good time to buy until the market is red.

Are you a kind of energy vampire or do you want some sympathy?  What are you aiming to have as a result of such a thread?  Research on how much people lose?  It makes no sense to me.

The feeling is painful when I sold at loss. Like I care since its the only thing that I have to do since I don't have funds left that's good for spending with the things that I need to purchase. But my suggestion to those who are depressed at their losses, its not the end of your crypto journey. Wait for the right time and don't focus first by looking on daily charts.

If we got lost our capital invested, it is simply normal that we feel hurt, but it is the reality in crypto business, we must accept the reality. To avoid any capital losses, we must learn and study the price movement and with enough patience of holding, and sell it until such time that price will go up higher.

I started to sell at a loss with a loss in the time I started. I felt very strange myself.
but then I started to learn to read graphics by realizing that I had to follow good.

Those who are selling on the biggest dips are really having some issues and money invested that they cannot stand losing ,that is always a bad tactic honestly because the are some mental issues that are created down the road, similar like gamblers when they lose

Well, if you follow the market recently, I have seen a lot of people panic and sell their bitcoin. They accept $ 3000-4000 depreciation within a month. After a successful 2017 bitcoin creates a strong suction from the new crypto participants. After witnessing the bitcoin drop very fast. They accept losses and sell their bitcoin.

about 5k

feel depressed

Sometimes sell at loss is necessary. When you are trading, you understand that you cannot win all times. I sold couple coins at loss and reinvested in more perspective ones, and feel myself good.

i never sold any of my altcoins that I get through signature and other bounty campaigns because I don't want to lose even a single token.
I just read more bad experiences of bounty hunters about their worst experiences like selling their tokens too soon and get handful of money but then after  few weeks that supposed tokens were pumping x10 to x100 so therefore they do regret but the y are tempted to sell for the reason of they cannot support their daily basic needs especially when a Bounty hunter has family who are only relying his bounty assets.

I am just listening to the other members experiences so now I am holding worth value of more than $52,000 crypto assets that I get from various signature and other bounty campaigns and I don't want to lose it so I choose to hold. Or else I'll lost everything and that I don't want to happen.
We earned it in a hard way because ranking up our profile isn't that easy that we provide set of time to comply the minimum post requirements for signature bounty campaigns.

I totally agree, in order to learn a lesson we should set our foot into losing some of our assets but hopefully not that huge amount of loss because I don't want to loose my assets just because I do try trading.
I am not yet ready for trading but I really do have more coins in my mind that if I go trading then I definitely choose those Altcoins because I know them well as well as I am eying their progress since the beginning.
Some of my friends regret that they sold their bounty tokens too early so now I am holding more assets than them even though they came in this forum since last 2016.

I feel normal, I do not despair at the loss because the market can change in a matter of minutes, so I'm always looking at my cryptocorrencys, and just letting it flow at that moment brings me big profits

I don't sell at loss. I don't give a shit if my 1k$ investment turned into 1$
I won't sell it. It might get into 100k$ in some day. I don't care if my 1k$ tokens doesn't worth that much now, I'm seeing future.

I have not lost anything because I did not sell anything. Just hold and wait, don't panic.

of course there are many people who are too afraid . They sell their coins even if they are losing their main investment. They are one of the main reason why coin markets are in this situation right now . This down trend will end and coins will recover . I see lots of rumors coming about a restriction from India but they are false . They are only gonna make some legal arrangements . I don’t wanna think about the consequences of a restriction from USa or China.

You had to sell your altcoins in the red zone? I'm truly sorry. You learned from this lesson. Never invest money in cryptocurrency that you will soon need to pay for current accounts or loans. Never. Soon the market will revive and you will earn more than you sold on the remaining coins.

Well, we can not blame those seller who sold at loss during a dip price because they choose to be panic more than what they dream for it to there coin or maybe it's because they are partially needed at that time so they decided to do even if they loss half of it of the main investment. This situation of price in the market having difficult to analyse when it be increases is a big surprice awaits us.

I think profit and loss both should be included in your trading strategy you should not be panic when you are suffering a loss,there is always solution exists,when such situations arise you should hold your investment,because market will not remain same for long time,today may be you are incurring 50% loss and if you hold instead of selling,there may be 100% increase after some time,so enter into crypto world with big heart.I would suggest when such situation occur again you should not sell but you should hold it.

There are so many opportunities in the market, and we can't catch every single one of them. If we sold at a loss we should learn from it, and try to be more careful next time.

I actively try (and have been able to so far) to avoid selling at a loss - not that all my investments are positive but I just have not sold those that did not do well

until now i did not sold my coin and token and im on a huge loss.
sometimes I feel frustrated and thinking to sell to cut losses but I still have hope.

I learn from my past mistakes so this time I did not sell my any of coin in the falling market in loss. I know its better to wait because I believe holding can be more fruitful. I will not sell until market again get the good bullish momentum. I am also currently running in little loss but I know it will recover soon and my balance will be again increased and I will be in profit again then. I am not in hurry right now only thing I need to have some patience for while.

As for this time I don't lose something of course, I just started and most of the ICOs has now 50% discounts, and there's a bunch of airdrops so my income is just keep on coming... Little by little, even though it's small buts it keeps on coming...

It’s never advisable to sell at a loss, I’ll advise you use the stop loss on your orders, only if your selling at a loss to be sure to trade another coin that would give you profits, but it’s really risky though but never sell at a loss.

Hodl till you’ve reached your buy point them you can finally be released  from the shackles of that particular coin

When the price dip down im really on panic. Im scare of loss than i could bear enough. Actually i dont knveat to much my money. Im invest ober $300 but im loss $100 because scare of loss. Now im learn enough that price could return to normal and i could back my investment just need to be patient on it. Dont get rush on making decision.

There's nothing to lose your money in trading with Bitcoin or any potential altcoin, if you're in a panic or don't have patience to wait then you may sold at loss. Crypto market is volatile and waiting for good profit to come is the key thing one need to have for avoiding loss.

i guess it will be rational if you really need it, there's no loss if you used it for a caused. just be prepare next time make it a multiple so u can choose which is better to sold and not so much loss in investment.

The right decision not to sell anything in the negative. And the right assets will always grow back and even above the level of your purchase. To sell less and counting your losses is not the correct solution

I lose nothing since all those coins that I traded during the dip were all my reward tokens for doing some bounty campaigns. I am happy that I was able to trade them at a pretty fair price considering that the market capitalization was down during that time. I never really sell my coins if there's a massive dump, I usually keep them in my bag and forget about it. I just look for another profitable coin that has a lot potentials. And true enough, patience favors me always.

I lost by not buying at the dippest point, like ETH I bought @900, @800, @603 (thinking: It cannot go down more ;D) Bottom was 578.
BTC 9700, 8800, 7600, 6400. The bottom was 5800  :-[ And I spend cash evenly, so lowest value only was 25% of my orders. Then I spend all those ETH and BTC for some altcoins, which later dropped another -30%.

That could be worth spend cash ever, but if I see moon with any of my invests, it easily could be the best investment ever.

Maybe some sold at loss since they are still inexperience or have found out that the coin they are investing at is at its low price and had found to be a shit coin so for me it is okay for as long as it will be a lesson learned from you, make experience your sword for the next battle don't be upset as life still goes on.

I'm loss when i do panic selling LOL. Just believe on the crypto system there will be a reason for this :), We know that we cannot control the mindset of every people involve in crypto. They are very greedy and they don't believe in crypto system. Well No man is an island.

I have learned one thing since the time I am here in this world of crypto currencies and that is most of the things you get to learn after suffering some loss. This is what they haves learnt as well by losing the money by doing panic selling.

They will surely not repeat this mistake again in the future no matter how less the market value of any coin goes. Holding is the best thing to do at that very moment.

Personally I think it is smarter to use TA to sell at the breakdown so you will be able to buy cheaper and never sell at the bottom and lose all your money.

Those who began to trade, face a fall, from this no one is immune. We must treat this calmly and not be nervous. I try to wait for time

Talks about losses is so depressing moment which we can't even know and ask many times why is it? Especially those feelings that you want to punch someone in front of you. I would say experience is the best learning, hopefully next time, it will set as a lessons which yoh will know what you are going to do next time.

I'm very stubborn about not selling in the red, although I'd be curious to hear whether anyone also uses the 'loophole' of re-distributing at a loss. For example, I might take some out of a coin I'm sitting at a loss to buy a deeper dip on another coin I believe in more. The way I see it, as long as I'm not converting back to fiat, I'm not 'locking in' that loss... and sometimes another coin looks like it will recover faster/higher than the original coin. Do you see what I mean? Also, if there are events on the horizon... for example, I converted some IOTA I had sitting on a -20% loss, and bought some TRX which was absolutely in the dirt, because when they burn the tokens on 31/03 TRX is going to rise big time in comparison, I believe.

Maybe the difference is mainly psychological.

it is very hurt for me to loss. but instead of felling down from that mistakes, stand up and learned all things from your mistakes, world doest stop at you mistakes. even though i loss not too much but i can afford that to loss. and still hard holding now to avoid some losses in the future.

from this 2-month event from january to february I experienced more than half of the capital I played for trading, many coins that cost down and collapsed.

I will not sell my coins when I am at the loss but sometimes if I need urgent money the time will make me sell my coins for loss can't do anything. For example, when the price was $15k+ I had bitcoins but I hold because I thought again it will cross $20k. my all predictions went wrong and recently I needed urgent money so I sold me bitcoins for $10k I felt sad but what to do.

A person with knowledge about cryptocurrency will never trade at loss. So selling cryptocurrency at a loss is a pathetic decision. As it is very clear that the cryptocurrency market is never constant, so instead of getting panic in little situation, it is important to learn to be patient. Patience is the only key to success in life.

I have any of my coin at lost because that is a very bad investment decision for one to make. Those who sell at lost are mostly panic sellers and I strongly believe that they are not good in trading or they invest the money they cannot afford to loose.
