Bitcoin Forum

I wonder how much people have lost money during this bloodbath which never seems to end. Maybe it will continue until the overall market cap is under 100 billion.

I bought Ethereum for 5000 euro in January when the price was 770 euros, and then for another 10 000 euro when the price was something like 900€. I also bought few Litecoins as well. From original 15 000 euro I have only 5000 left now, so i've lost almost 70% for now. I haven't sold anything yet.

ETH supposed to be one of the most stable coins but I really have no idea what I should do anymore. Actually I don't even care anymore if the price of 1 ETH goes to zero and I lose that remaining 5k because I have already lost so freaking much. I even had to put my house on a rent and move back to my parents for the next 1.5 years to recover from these losses if the price does not rise again.

Sorry for opening up but I had to share my story so I can feel a bit better..

You are not the only one you are losing money, everybody is. You must have patience. Stop looking at the price charts and if you can afford it, forget your investment for some time. If you are from the people who believe that eventually, cryptos will substitute fiat money (I am one of them) you have nothing to fear. If you bought them just to double or to triple your fiat in a matter of months I think you've invested in the wrong place. The crypto market is volatile and unpredicted, everybody says here to invest as much you can afford to lose.

I really feel you as most of the new crypto investors entered the crypto world when it was going vertical, im myself trapped in many tokens i invested during this bull run, i think market will recover, all those who cashed out due to fud will be taking new positions soon, just wait for the volume to be back and things will start getting better.

you did not lose money until you fixed the losses. Ie if you bought an asset for $ 2 and it began to cost $ 1 and you sold for $ 1, then you lost. If you bought for $ 2 and the asset was worth $ 1 but you did not sell it, then you have not lost anything. You just have to wait.

It is clear that homoconally very hard to wait. Even if you were hoping that investing money for the next month you will earn more than profit and even started thinking about your millions of dollars, I'm sorry. We need to be ready for the shaft in the market and work for a long perspective and not short-cut. Then you can earn money. Ie invested money in the crypto currency as there is and continue to continue to do their own business, work, family.

I calculated how much I lost ever since ATH in markets, its still like %75 for me. But I don't think ath is good place to measure as it was quite rare thing that happened and all coins jumped higher. So I can say I lost %50 or something.

In my opinion, your main mistake is that you put the money you needed in real life, and now your financial situation is very bad. But do not worry, you just have to wait until the market is back to its previous values

I allready lost 5% on my bitcoin but I would say its still a win win price and back than I bought load and later it increases and got give someone a load.

Here few tips I really learned from my sister and that is

1. Keep in mind you real money dont be an addictive investor.
2. When you have a investment holding on a bitcoin, Ethereum and altcoins, dont panic
3. Chill
4. You can see the chart and dont over think about it
5. If your holding chill calm down because the right time and increase will come
6. Think of it this way you will earn

I haven't lost anything as I haven't sold anything.
I'd only have loss if I trade away my coins with fiat.
The inter trading of my coins too are in profit for the last month.
And I've increased my holding spending more fiat.

I have lost more than 50% of my investment value. But I'm buying more now to reduce my average purchase price as now looks a good time to buy.  Most of the coins are at rock bottom prices and at a point from where they had earlier started their rallies.

I feel bad for you, many people here are at the same state as you were because as we all know, people who are hold their token had suffered, I myself have lost 70% of my portfolio, by simply holding the token. But as other suggested, I usually forget the chart for a few months because by doing this, I will not feel bad from what is happening to the crypto world. Anyways, I'm hoping that at the end of this year, crypto will recover.

Gain and lose are the two words that occur during the investment process. When they lose they cry too much. When they are, the household does not say I do not lose. In this tragedy, a smart investor will study carefully before making a decision, not a passive decision. I will continue to keep my coin and continue to invest if funds are available.

The value of my portfolio has decreased by about 50%, but I decided not to fix the loss, but continue to hold my coins. As you know, after a fall, growth always begins and vice versa. Be patient.

Since the bear market is coming, most people are in a state of losing money, so I don't want to worry too much about it.
All you need to do is hold, so when the bull market comes, you'll get a higher return.

All who kept their coins and did not sell at the fall of the market, lost their savings. All these people are certainly unhappy, including me. But at the same time everyone expects that the market will recover and the situation will improve.

Some investors have lost over 90% of their portfolios value. Ethereum is stabilize but if bitcoin falling everything else too. This is how market works.

In my opinion, you can only confirm that you have lost when you sell lower than you bought, however if you are still holding the crypto you bought, i will not say it is a loss, because when the market recovers, you are likely to come back to the original position and even make some profit. the problem is that many people are not able to hodl.

I think everything will be ok and the prices of the coins will be high again. Then you can win the money back.

If you want to avoid big losses during the bloodbath just hold if you see that your profit was not there, easy as that.
Holding is the safest way to avoid losses on your money in trading when the price is a decrease just keep on holding like what happens now I'm still holding my coins in my portfolio right now because of this bloodbath.
Control your emotion not to be panic and sell besides because patients here in trading is a must.

I have lost 50% of my assets since the end of 2017

I lost a good deal of my sense of humor.

You still have not lost anything, this is a temporary state, you should not think of it as lost money. The market will recover and you will again be rich. You just have to wait.

I'm not going to beat you up with the rule that people should only invest what they can afford to lose. It's true, but I guess that if you can keep your coins without selling them, then that means that you can still maintain your life with a few adjustments, but with no major losses (like going back to your parents). Since you are not really holding shitty coins, then I would say that you should just hold to them, like you are planning, and everything will probably be ok again. I'm also losing money, but I see my investment as a long term thing, so I'm not selling my coins, at least not in 2 or 3 years from now.

Yep, as you know that in this time there are so many people who have lost a lot, even twice than you lost. We all know that the crypto market is notoriously volatile, so you’d better be more patience because it always fluctuates, so the market will recover soon, I think so. However, do you know that this crypto market brings lots of risks, I think that you are really stupid when you give almost your important asset for cryptocurrency market.In anyway, I advise you that all you need to do now is keeping your head and waiting for and hope the good news of this market.

Yes, that's exactly my plan, I'm not gonna sell anything for another 1-2 years at least. I can still live at least normal life and I wasn't even looking for quick gains but it's still very, very scary to see the markets plunging even if I'm going to hodl for a long time. Only retards would sell everything at this moment. Maybe the best thing is to forget the whole crypto scene for a while but it's hard for your psyche if you don't know how the markets are doing.

I am a true believer of cryptocurrency. It doesn't  matter if the market plummeted, since you want to stay invested for the long term and you chose your coins well, you are safe.

This is the advice I can give to true crypto believers

I'm not considering what I invested in at lost yet because I haven't sold it and still holding it. I just won't sell my investments lower than my initial cost of investment. Hopefully the market would recover soon so that we could see hope in our investments. Let's just wait patiently.

40% BTS/BTC AND 50% STR/BTC  :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\

I think many people have now lost a lot of money in this market downturn. But you done that didn't sell your coins, because then you'll lose your money. And now it can be compared to the fact that your funds are frozen for some period of time.

Yea sharing your experience during this bearish time will surely lift you as you get to read of others experience and situations. You are not hopeless because there will be a reversal very soon and for sure if you hold you will not lose.

I feel calm and convinced that the market will return to normal some day later, I suffered a loss of about 5k $, not big enough but I was quite shocked by it.

In terms of actual quantity I am holding for coins, I haven't lost any, since I am a strong believer of coins I am invested in The altcoins as well as Bitcoin I am holding are in a downtrebd, but I have been in this for too long that I understand that it will rise again and without any signs, crushing previous ATHs to new ATHs.The loss in USD would be around 50-60% of what once it was.

You do not give up properly and do not sell your coins in a panic when prices so decreased. I agree with the opinion that until you sell cheaper than bought, you have not lost anything. You really need to wait. But you did not need to invest all the money that is needed at the moment.

I didn't sell anything during the dip, when you think of how much you bought the token, so you feel reluctant to sell more when the price was lower.
If I have to sell now, I'll loose half of my money, so why am I running to sell? Which means I still keep my tokens and I even buy more to make more gains in future.

Just keep holding until new ATH so you will not lose your money this way. My motto is ''Be rich or die holding ''. Your portfolio only loses value in USD but you still have all your crypto so it is okay as long as you are patient and hodl for few years.

What's important is how much you'll recover, right? ;)

Yeah absolutely, in this bloodbath the only thing is to keep calm and presence of mind  with a strong determination and believing in yourself that someday this will recover the value in the market  the most is improtant is you save your coin into holding and serve this a challenges as part of patient for how many months or years is going.

I think for my money left in altcoin or arguably the losses I get are around 1000 $ and this is one example of the experience I have experienced in the last 8 months.

My total lost is around 5k$ for now.
But i am still holding so i hope i will recover soon cause clouds are going away. Lets start to talk about moon.

I have lost up to 65 percent of my  portfolio in value. But I am not worry at all because these loss is not a loss at all except i pull the trigger by selling. The market will rise again and the loss on paper will become profit in bitcoin in due course.

My money comes 40 percent down but it is a notional loss because i am not selling at this price and i wait for the market to recover from this downfall and again i will see profits in my account. This is a normal thing and i am not worried about it because i am a long term investor.

I'm about 20% loss from january but that's because i sold and bought back lower, if i just hold my coin then i would've loss more than 60%. Overall i'm still in positive because of december rally really gave me a lot. I am looking for the opportunity to enter the market right now that the bottom is near. If you want to hold then you have to have the determination to do it.

i am yet to loose, i am a new investor in crypto, though the market is falling, i have faith that it will come back stronger than what i am seeing now.

Bought at the very early stage of the projects though. so didn't lose much but I lose the opportunity to profit more, I should have gained 8BTC if I just sold my altcoins and I was ready for it but changed my mind. Part of me regrets but also thinking of my future gains when the price of BTC finally hit back up 10x. The bloodbath since January might just be forgotten when we see soon the prices including the altcoins going up again.

dude, there is a lot of investors losing their money after they buy altcoins. dont count your loses, just hold it for now, we all now that this is just for temporary. and it will recover soon. uninstall your blockfolio, dont look on coinmarketcap, and forget about their prices for now. that's the only option we had.

Everytime that theres a big drop there will always be a lost, which is  not a good thing.
But for the other investors, everytime that theres a bloodbath theres always an oppurtunity. Oppurtunity to buy more coins .
Because they know that, if theres a big drop there will always be a big rise. Just wait with patient.

it's alright mate. don't sell yet. it's going to be alright. you're not the only one who lost with this downfall. i already lost 70% of my asset. i know everything will be fine we just have to wait.

I have lost around sixty percent twelve thousand dollars hopefully I will recover it soon once the market settles down then we will be on the moon  :)

Yes, I know exactly how you feel, in just a month I lost 40% of my portfolio. It is so weird, I traded stocks before and never felt so big portfolio loss.

Good thing I left some money for cases of big discounts on nice coins so I bought more BTC at 8050$. I decided to start a small trend for myself.

I lost up to 80% on some coins.  Now we must wait for the big growth.  And probably I will reconsider my strategy for the future - when the fall begins, maybe I'll leave the altcoins, and go into bitcoin and fiat.  But I'm not sure yet.

When you buy at $7, it doesn't matter if it's at 1400$ or 600$  ;D ;D.

P.S - Go for projects which will have value in the future, you'll never loose.

You haven't lost anything until you sell.

Do you still believe in the long term future of crypto? I do, and it has helped me to put the losses of the last couple of months into perspective.
We all know that crypto is volatile, and recently it has been even more volatile than usual. Your timing looks a bit unfortunate as you bought close to ATH, but it is important to remember that an all-time-high is only all-time to the present moment. I believe that future highs will make current prices look very low. In a couple of years' time you will probably count yourself fortunate for having bought in when prices were so low. Yes they have dipped in the last couple of months, but crypto is very likely to rise well over the $1 trillion cap threshold in the medium-term. Don't panic; have faith!

The worst thing has been actually to see how so many bounties that I worked hard to get have lowered in value to the point of not being of any use. Other than that, I sold at decent prices before the big dips.

I am not opening my blockfolio any more, I don't want to really know how much I'm losing. But once you've lost most of your money, to sell is not an option any more. You just have to hold, and forget about the whole issue until the market recovers. It happened to me in 2014, I then lost up to 90%, but didn't sell then, and in 2017 I've got my money back with some gain.

I have lost 50% of my current holdings since bitcoin fell down below 8k but luckily I did not sell my alts at dip because I nearly sell all of it. In times of dip Everyone should calm down because being emotional will make you stressful

I don't know if this is considered losing money because I have not touched my coins ever since the dip started. I refrain from looking at the prices of my altcoins because I can see how the pilot coin is dramatically decreasing these past months, so maybe that is a good indication that my altcoins might have been decreasing too. So yeah, I think in my case, losing money is when you decide to sell it just because the bloodbath panicked you.

It's unfortunate of you to have to put up your house for rent and move back to your parents. I hope that you recover some of your loss. If holding is not cutting out for you, then you could probably try to short trade if you have any extra capital. By short trading, you may realize some profits faster then when you hold your token. Of course, this is also very risky and there's a great chance for you to lose more of your money if you are not careful of your trades. I suggest that you find other ways to recover your loss while you hold your token so that it won't be much of a burden. Many may have been affected as well by this bloodbath such as you have but not so greatly because their investments only took part a portion of their wealth.

be positive  ether is gonna hit up to $1thousand before the end of the year ,then will stabilize.

I lost virtually but I won't count it as a loss because I am not going to cut my trades as I am positive market will bounce back and later hopefully I will be in profit again. I always think long term even I don't have any issue to hold my trades in such a hotch potch market. It already gives me alot. Be positive if you hold might be it can give you good return in the end but you need to wait for sure. Sooner market will get momentum.

thank you for comforting me. I lost more than $ 15k. But this is normal and I'm not too worried about it. I know I will be able to make more profit because I have learned a lot from the bloodshed of this market. When you have experience, you will have everything. You will make important and accurate decisions, which will bring a lot of profit. even over $ 15k.

I lost almost 50 % of my portfolio value in this blood bath but i will be still waiting for the end of this blood bath i also buying some more coins to averaging my investment in this bloodbath and hope very soon this bloodbath is over and market will be recover.

This bloodbath?  ;D Nothing, we all saw it comming from miles away. The writing was on the wall, every other post on this forum said "Brace for market correction", if you didnt see it then im sorry to break the news for you, but you are not fit to be in crypto.

In short, if you do have a weak heart then this crypto market isn't really suited for you and its much better to leave than to stress out yourself too much because price volatility will definitely kill you inside specially when you put up large funds and at the same time you would able to hear out upcoming negative news.This would really make your heart pump out came from your chest.haha. For now I haven't sold any of my holdings which means I haven't loss yet even I'm still on negatives.

Im sorry to hear that,you shouldnt be doing that because cryptocurrencies has high volatility if you arent into trading you should be more careful because you need technical and fundamenal analysis with your trades because you wont win trades if you are only using your intuition or if you are trading blindly,you can still recover from that if you know how to trade very well.

I lost half of my investment,if i could turn back the time i will stick with the bitcoins so that i wont be trapped with these bleeding altcoins because it is too dangerous if bitcoin's going to move wildly and it could be the reason why these altcoins' price would be -70% or more that is why if i recovered investment i wont be sticking with altcoins.

It depend on how you define "lost".  I'm down 50% from my portfolio all time high at the end of 2017, but still up 4X from my original investment.  So, I haven't really lost anything, I'm just not up as much as I used to be.

You don't lose until you sell.  And why the hell would you sell during a crash? That is what noob panic traders do.

I almost lost half of my savings during this downfall of the market. Prices of all altcoins I invested dramatically decrease almost %50.  :'(

Yes, as well as many eastky when the drawdown began,everyone thought that now goes into growth,and she eenige such waves,in the end 4-5 times minus portfolio,great growth,and we hope that the market will go up now current

Big enough to sell my own house? and to lose my life? it isnt going to work and i need a lot of years to recover from this nightmare.I still regret my decisions from the past but hopefully i am going to have a lot of gains after the market has recovered.Doing nothing is worst than doing shitty things in life,this is how the world runs ups and owns and the same shits.

The loss in USD would be around 70% of what once it was. In terms of actual quantity I am holding for coins I am invested in altcoins as well as Bitcoin and am holding

I am not an active trader so I Hodl all my coins. Somehow, in this crash, my total crypto-portfolio has decreased to 1/2 of its total pricing. But I hope to recover my portfolio soon as I am expecting Bitcoin at $13K in April.

More than enough to lose my life? i have a lot of losses than i can ever imagine i sold my car to put it to the cryptocurrencies,now i am holding my coins as i believed these coins are going to massive in the future,patiently waiting for these coins to get bigger as the times goes by more and more gains i would have if i wait patiently.

I have not lost much in this bloodbath because i just enter in this market 3 months back and buying the altcoins in very low price in this down fall and hope that i will get distant in next run up in this market.

If you haven't sold anything so you dont loss anything. I am better keep holding my coin and my token because its painfull to sell in situation market right now. I am holding because believe that coin/token I hold have good project and I am investing my money for long term period

Well that's kinda bad dude. I feel you, really, your case is not isolated at all many of us experienced the same. I too lost around 50% of my investment But unlike you we only invested money that we can afford to lose. You know, it's a way of making sure that all is well despite the losses. But it's not the end of it I tell you, prices will recover soon and you'll be back on track.

Listen bro after any investment you make money or you lose money the result depends on the situation and the strategy you taken . so many people keep panic during crypto market situation and fb google twitter crypto add ban thats why people think it might be negative for market then they sold some coin in bad market thats why people lose money i think that .

I don't lost anything yet. Because so far, I didn't sell yet my coins. So, I'm still believing that the market will gained his losses until the end of this year :) hopefully, I earned more profit by the end of 2018 like what happen in year 2017.

Within 2 months of the storm, my property was not flown but $ 2000, I was looking forward to stabilizing the market to get back my lost capital.

Your loss is only a short time. Don't panic and worry too much. Hold it patiently. Even though I've lost it, I've made a lot of money.

I lost about 13k from my portfolio. That's what I made last year. I am still investing this year. I have debt too. I don't think IMA take on more debt at the moment. Crypto is a cat and mouse game. I fell for the bull run trap. And now I'm stuck here for many years to come. I still hope to make a million before I stop investing and the bull run takes over.

Well you felt you lost because you have computing all these losses in your head for so long now but you forgot one thing. You still have the ETH with you and you have control with it you just need to wait for the price to go up.

I'm a trader and I can't earn any profit in a red market. Lost $10 000 USD in some tokens. It is 50% of my assets.

If you just look at the assets of yours in terms of money then, of course, the result will be reduced, but to be honest the assets of yours still intact in terms of coin and not diminished at all. your decision is already good if you don't panic and still holding the coin you have, that you have to do is just be patient and wait for the price of coins on the market give you profit.

I lost not many because i dont invest any new shit coin i am longterm investor so its always happen in the market so i am not worried about this.

It is necessary to understand that the stronger the fall, the stronger the rebound. Those who can wait for this difficult time are likely to earn a lot of money afterwards.            

My total value has dropped by two thirds since the end of 2017! But I believe in the coming time!
I think! All altcoin and token will go up in last year 2018

maybe shareholders who have large shares, I think more than 30% of their shares have been lost due to drastic price reductions, it's personal to me.

Being reach is overreacting, but someone might that is true. However, I really do agree - you cannot lose something you didn't really have. That is if we are talking about someone losing a profit one didn't cash out, not if we are talking about someone investing during the peak just to see it crash.

In many positions I lost 20-25%. I know people who flew at all 60%... It is sad, but any experience always helps the future. And the crypt will still grow.            

I lost around 60-80% of my dollar value. But I partially bought some coins while it is on it's way down. I hope it will go up within the next few months. I also think almost everyone lost at this bear market but I want to tell the newbies that it will be ok. Just hold and accumulate some of your favorite coins.

I think that this is a drawdown, I did not withdraw the money accordingly, so far there are no direct losses

Cryptocurrency is a high risk and high volatile market. Always expect the unexpected and before buying always expect that the price of the coin could halve anytime. Thats why you only invest what you can afford to lose.

Well, I have not lost as much as you, but my tokens also dropped significantly in price and I lost about 45% of all my money. Therefore, now I'm expecting from the market only growth to get my money back

I think there is nothing definite in the cryptoworld, so we can not predict any profits to be gained, so this is like a no guarantee bet. You are not the only one who lost money, everyone. You must have patience. and take advantage of every opportunity to invest. You need not be afraid. If you buy it just to multiply or multiply your numbers in a matter of months, I think you've invested in the wrong place.

When the price are dropping I don't want to see the losses, it could give us psychological impact. So I wait and do others task and believe that the price is going up again. Yesterday the price began to bounce back and give sign of good return.

No direct losses but most of your portfolio is probably in red now, no? ;D

Until you sold your coins you did not lose anything. In this situation, you need to hold your coins. The market will not constantly fall. After a fall, growth always begins. So you just need to wait. And your deposit will soon return to its previous value. And I hope even to increase.

Actually we all went through the same situation, In my portfolio it was worse because almost 90% of my losses. But I remained calm and believed on that platform. And within a year's expectation it has grown and I grow about 500%.

Not much because i HOLD my altcoins whenever these bloodbaths happen,that way i would have a minimal damages on my portfolio holding wont give you a lot of losses,that is why it is suggested to hold these coins and wait for the market to get recovered so that you wont lose a lot of money from these market manipulations.

It is good for us to say what we have suffered. We can make feel better after that.

Not much because i stick with bitcoin if the market is going to bullrun and USD before the market has crashed so i could buyback from the dips giving me a lot of profits whenever i purchased these solid coins from the bottom and after the market has recovered surely i am going to have a lot of gains better than the gains that i would get from the normal market environment.

I'm sad to hear your story.
To be honest i also suffered defeat, but not more than 25%. Although not as much as you, but disappointment is inherent in the self. My luck is bigger because before this incident i sold almost all my coins or about 90% when the price reached $19000 and started re-investing when the price was around $14000. Who would have thought that the price would decrease. So i was forced to sell when the price of $11000 and currently i still leave some coins or a total of about $25000.
I'm still dilemma whether to sell (loss) or to hold it. The thought is always spinning in my mind. If only i didn't sell when the price of $19000 was probably i would die standing because of this incident.

You haven't lost anything until you sold. Just wait and it should recover. Or maybe not. Anyway, you had only the money you could afford to lose, right?

I will a liar if I said I lost a certain amount of money to the blood bath because i have bought my holding since year 2016 and i'm maintaining/investing/spending the coin i earn now. However, you have lost your investment OP since havent sell your holding and i will advice you to hold till May or more for good profit cause the market will recover next month.

i lost like 70% worth of the coin . and im stuck here waiting for the coins to recover

Many investors feel like this , loosing at the same way it is not your end, may be time will come sacrifice now and then gain for tomorrow, that is simly quote that i shared.

it's a pain to watch your money go away like that but when you believe in something that crypto will dominate the earth someday as a form of payment  then you will have to sacrifice a lot during your walkthrough, i lost my fair share of money too but still hoping for my coins to recover

Okay, actually we will not loss anything as long as we don't sell our investment in lower price. I agree with your quote, actually you will never fail if you never stop trying to be better. Work smart not work hard. I am not loss anything because I don't sell anything at lower price.

we all had the same experience, but why are you coming up with these matter? you invest those, so you must know what to do, unless you dont have enough knowledge, you just invest without knowing the risk.

Not much because i sticked to USD whenever the market is going down that is why iam able to buyback from the bottom or dips,then buy altcoins so that the market movements wont affect my portfolio too much and after the market has recovered i am going to sell the altcoins that i bought from the dips and yes that is profit from the bloodbath.

actually, if i count in money, i have lost very much. But i just hold my coins and do not sell anything. So, I think i can get back my money when the market recover

because of unforseen financial problem, ive lost around 20% of my investment in btc during the dip, im planning on holding it for more than 5 more months but because of this problem i was forced to withdraw 20% of it.

Trading on cryptocurrency exchanges is always associated with a huge risk and you need to be ready from the very beginning to lose  your investment. Never invest in crypto-currency borrowing or loan funds secured by real estate or any other property, since things can be lost in an instant.

I did not buy crypto currency for fiat, so I can not say exactly how much I lost. Most of the crypto currency I received as a payment for the work and for the bounty campaign. I guess that, then I lost about 2000 dollars.

It does not matter. For a long-term investment, the next 2-3 years will be profitable despite current events

I did lose some money, let's say my profits have gone down significantly -50% I'd say.

I didnt lost anything, because I didnt sell anything. But if I calculate my profit, is about -60% :D. But I am confident and will HODL for years.

It’s not a loss until you sell.

You are right, in such a situation it is necessary to rely on other sources of income and wait for the price recovery.

I have lost at least 30% of my account value in ETH and XRP but this thing doesn’t worry me because I have taken this opportunity to buy the two in low cost. I have trust these two crypto’s for the long run so big swing doesn’t worry me too much. But dude I feel sorry for you, I hope you may recover your portfolio in the future. Maybe next time don’t invest your all money take extra precaution in order not to repeat these problem. Be strong!

total my lost during this bloodbath is $3000

I lost more than 50% for this correction. already at the end)BTC

Fortunately, I managed to get rid of my capital so it was not affected in this storm

Really huge, I can't be throwing around the figure for some reasons, at big as 80% of the value fo some projects I invest in the ICO disappear, this just show and proof again that when people are greedy you should be fearful and vice versa, no one knows when this trend will turn around for good

In this market you need to be a whale, do not drain coins all at once .. Everything will grow on long-term investment, the main thing is to be able to wait .. Better buy coins and do not go to your purses anytime soon, just forget about their existence. The market will fall many more times, but in any case it will rise many times!

Personally I won't refer to any reduction in price as a loss, because I don't panic sell.
The bloodbath is in the whole market

Well, I am affected and during this crypto bloodbath I am as well down as 65%. But just don't panic sell , the "bloodbath" affects all the coins. So just hold for the time being because it will go up for sure.

These terrible  2 months (Feb - March) stole from my wallet about 50 % of my savings,  I hope and pray  that spring will bring  better situation

Not too much  because i am sticking with the USD pair if and only if the market will fail,buyback from the bottom then buy some good altcoins surely you will be making a lot of money.What if bitcoin's going to go bull ? simply stick with bitcoin so that you wont be affected by the bull runs,because most of the time altcoins are bleeding whenever bitcoin's move up or down.

I have lost big too because i invested all my bitcoin to the altcoins,but holding keeps my portfolio survived because if you didnt hold you will lose much more,best thing to do when you are trapped with these altcoins is to hold your coins and wait for the market to get recovered so your losses would be minimal.

Lost all who came at the peak of the price. Unfortunately, it is not yet known when there will be a rollback, but of course it is not worth it. I lost about 20% of the initial capital.            

I have not lost even a single,because my portfolio is intact meaning only the value decreased but my coins amount is still the same.but the value lost more than 50% now,and just like what the majority says.HODL and thats why im doing until this very moment.so if bitcoin returns back to $20,000 i will be the very first man to celebrate,trust me guys lol

I haven't lost anything since I haven't sold anything but my portfolio is down by 70 percent ( which breaks my heart every time I look at it.) but I am optimistic this downtrend is nearing it's end since bitcoin has been hovering btw 7 to 9k for sometime now which I consider to the the new support level. I hope the market takes a bullish turn as me move towards the ending of the first half of the year.

Many. Well, if you when buying and the rise Ethereum did not sell, now I advise you to get a soothing, and sit waiting for a steep reversal in the market. For more nothing not remains.

No for me it's not a lost only when you sold if the altcoins you've bought on the peak has been sold on the dipped but if you still holding it there are higher possibilities to come back on it's peak price or even surpass it.

Well I for one hasn't lost any. I still have all my coins intact, I did not sell anything in panic.
Had you sell in panic, then that is when you lose investments.
When prices recover, and with my coins still intact, who knows I might even have more than I invested?!

So far I have lost about 40% of my portfolio during the bloodbath but all thanks to credits ICO, it have really help my portfolio not to go down the more, it really reduced it to that 40%. I am already with the credits and hope it will do better even more to bring back my portfolio back to shape and grow even more.

I try to keep my coin number and wait for the green market to return. Currently I have lost about 30% of my capital. Hope the market soon green.

well let's say, I have lost like 60 % of my portfolio, it was more than before but I keep building it up through airdrops and bounties, So at the moment I am still at a great lost but I believe I will still recover.

In December I had like 5x what I have at the moment. Should've sold then, wont make that mistake again.

Market is volatile and prices will grow, be patient. I can only advise you not to live with idea that you buy crypto currency and will be rich tomorrow.

I think almost all of hodlers last december 2017 are having a negative in their portfolio now. In my portfolio, as long as i'm holding my coins even if the value goes down, i do not considered it yet as a lost. I have so much patience for the roller coaster ride of crypto currency, I believe it will recover soon

Sell half hodl half if you believe in your project if not sell all

The world of cryptocurrency is a world that can not be guessed just like that. Therefore we should not use the funds used for our needs. but using more funds that will not interfere with our finances. Despite the losers though

I think this question is hard to answer. If you are talking about usd value, I think I lost about a half. But if you are talking about btc, I do not loss any btc and I have more btc than before by selling and buying back.

People who come and buy and sell rapidly often end up nothing with them. I have lost enough in the bloodbath to leave this market and go somewhere else trying my luck but I never withdraw my money and Hold when everyone is panic selling their coins. As one should understand that it might be a bad day or week or even month but time and market changes after some time.

I have not lost anything. I did not sell crypto currency, so I had the same amount as it was. The price fluctuations do not affect your assets until you start selling / buying them. I'm sure that the highs for most coins will be surpassed this year, but you can talk about earnings only  when you make a sale.

these last 3 months has swept the ground beneath so many people. loosing makes you emotionally weak and affects your personal life negatively. the trauma is hard to cope with. its always wiseto invest what you can afford to loose. stay safe everyone

I do not consider investments in dollars. But several times it's for sure. I think soon everything will be restored and we will have a good growth

I lost 70 percent of all my money in february. march was good considering feb.however I believe that we will get our money back in april even we will have more than we had.

My portfolio lost a half of all crypto in dollars. If calculate only in BTC than my losses is not so big.

Vou, you are one of those who got caught in the hype.

You bought in very high with a lot of money, but I believe that you can recover since ETH all time high was higher than you buy in.

I have lost some money in day to day trading but i have only positive balance in the end of the day.

Well, this correction once again showed how fast I can lose money, I lost almost half of my money and I'm sorry about it, now it's just to wait

Too much :) Don't wanna look at the portfolio :)

OP Plz don't fret or worry yourself too much. You are not the only person in a loss. Even the so called professional investors are in loss. Just hold on to your coins bcoz it may not make sense selling at a huge loss now. You are lucky because you bought a strong Crypto which is ethereum and not shitcoins. You must have learnt many things from your present experience.

I lost more than 1 btc already. From.my blockfolio data before compared to the the present value, it is quite a bigger amount.I hope that bitcoin will fully reciover again before the year ends.Its frustrating to see everytime you check :)

I was lucky i went out with some projects in february and was able to almost stay lossless. I have friends who merged the order of $20k.

If you think globally, there are no losses, you just buy a place in the future financial system, and that's it.

Most importantly do not sell, until you sold, you lost nothing.) You just like many people thought that the price increase will be eternal and did not think that everything can fall sharply and that was a big mistake.

$3,000 real loss (litecoin).  $38,000 paper loss (ETH).  Very disappointed.

I must have lost over two thirds of the value of my portfolio as at January 2018. That’s a whole lot of value gone but we’re taught to HODL. The painful part is when you need emergency funds and the market is bleeding.

There is no loss if you dont sell.....However if you need to cash out then it's definitely a loss and holding a dead coin does make its value return either.

Hope the underlying tech means that there is value in these projects

Nothing as I didnt sell, but my portfolio is down like 80% from the ATH prices as I am holding only alts. Waiting for the next bull.

I am a long term investor so i am not worried for this downfall. Although my portfolio 60-65% down but i know it is a temporary loss and soon all my all coins will touches there previous highs. So i am calm and wait for the upwards trend of the market.

Most people lost about 30% of the contribution. But soon time will pass and they will repel all their losses) believe this will happen soon

I lost a lot, like a half of my savings, but it is ok, as well as I didn't sold everything and didn't fix loss. What is more, all of that money I gained in crypto, so I am not that dissapointed. Next time don't put all of your savings in crypto. it is not conscious

I'm down 80% from my ATH. :) but in terms of profits / losses, I'm still positive for most coins :) there are some that I'm at a loss now because I was hoping to trade them short term, but that turned out bad. So overall, still believing in crypto and the projects I hold! The market is going to recover in several months I hope.

Calculating the USD value I lost more than $ 2,000 in this reduction. But I decided to hold them without selling them. Today prices of altcoin are gradually increasing, this is a good sign for the market. I hope that they will explode in the next few weeks. I will take back what I have lost in the past.

Well all of us do had a lost in our holdings already. Actually my token worth a couple of thousand dollars now worth about 800$. But it is healthy when we compare the past years price drops from what is happening right now. We just need to believe in the strong upcoming of the cryptocurrency market.

I invested when the price was low. Low as in around $600 USD and kept on investing a little by little. Based on this i am actually still on profit and right now during this fall i am once again investing. The more its falling the more i am investing. The price will eventually go back up and recover giving me maximum profit. You should do the same too.

Honestly, it is wise to invest to that extent, especially into something that is not stable at all. At the same time, who knows, maybe you`ll become rich in a matter of a year or two. High risk- high reward that`s how I look at it.

I lost 60 percent of my purse. It's really very sad, because even taking all precautions, I lost a lot.

i think many have lost much. as you can see, at now the market price has falling about 40% from the beginning of the year.
for now the market seems to be not recovering yet.

I kept my coins on hold but if I sell it right now since I bought it last January I think my loss probably is about 60%. I hope it will recover soon.

this bloodbath lasting a quite long. the market still not recovering until now.
i am personally lost about 30% of my investment on ETH.

ETH still has a good chance of reoccupying the market. Other small COINS are difficult to say. I also lost a lot of money, but I can't control it for us.

there is a saying that you lost nothing unless you sold. I believe that is the case with me as well. Yes my portfolio went slightly down, but I didn't sell, so I am quite sure to go back green soon ;)

I lost some money by investing in Ripple. I invested when it was about $1 and now it is just stagnant at $0.5 levels. Now I am doing short term trading to make up for the loss.

It's hard to put a number on it with all the current fluctuation, but I am holding a few coins that have lost more than 50% of their value.

I dont lose to much becose im hodl my tokens and dont do stupid panic sale for less what i invest in my token.Biggest fault all crypto traders,ico investments is they panic and sale  with that thing they dump all market for low prices selling i dont think this is good idea,why not hodl and do good for all?

Most people who were late to sell all their tokens before the bear market started lost a lot of money. I have lost almost $5,000 worth of money on my portfolio. I am still holding and waiting for the market to recover. That is the best that most people can do right now, since selling at this point will only result to losses.

I'm sorry for your loss bro. But if you lost almost 70% now, I think selling coins now is pointless. Most of us here lost our investment because of this market fall. But I also suggest you have to forget the investment for little time. There is nothing to do rather than waiting for market recover.

maybe you are not the only one who lost a lot of money in this period, and many more lost, but I myself is not much because I do not want to risk with what is happening right now, I just take the moment where I will save and not want to sell it.

yeah this has been a long and tiresome couple of months, I have lost around 60% of what I would have made if I have gone out before all hell broke loose. My ROI is still good but man every morning I wake up with dread and am constantly thinking: "is this it?" "is this the day cryptocurrencies die?"

Hahaha, i think i blood a lot recently due to the recent down turn. My capital shrunk a lot, at least 2/3 of the investment gone.

If you count from the highest level of value of my coins to today's level. I have a minus -40%

all altcoins that I hold, maybe I loss 70% of them it takes long to recover these losses, but it's ok it just small amount of money that I invested I know the risks of cryptocurrency.

i almost lose 30k usd for now. but thats not a big problem cause all of was profit.
I wish i sell them at high but i was really greedy

There really was a use in place. We have been making blood bags for months and these are a little green again. Now we go on again with blood. I lost all my wife.

I believe that if you have not sold and continue to hold, then you are not in loss. The market has started to recover and will soon update the next high, so do not worry soon you will be able to fix your first profit!

I only lost in dollar value for about 40% because I already sold all my alts in exchange with bitcoin. Practically I don't consider it as a loss because it is hard to convert bitcoin to fiat because of maximum transaction to convert and tax issue. In bitcoin value I actually gain more profit.

40% is definitely a big loss.

I was almost too late to sell mine so I still got my profit but I could have earned more. I lost about $16K of profit. Its such a mess when your tokens are in the MEW and you need to send it as quick as possible but you need to get your password in a file within your computer so you will once again try to login into your computer and find it. Still I'm lucky enough to have sold.

When the market is rising, we must remain calm and not arbitrarily expand our investment. In particular, the encryption market.

I preserve the capital and earn 5 eth

Technically I have not lost anything because I actually sold some of my coins during the january bull market and took out my initial investment and some profit so the money in the market now is from profits I mad. Although it has fallen over tens of thousands of dollars in value over the past couple of months but I am not worried, I know the prices will recover.

85% of portfolio - ouch

Personally I didn't lose much. When I noticed the continuous downtrend I switched my altcoins to tether and held that for long

I lost not so many as many lost, so today I can only say that you can earn my deposit decreased by several times, about 2 times, but I think today that people can earn and very soon there will be a serious increase in many altcoins and I very much hope that I will return my money.

Uptill now I am still holding some coins that I bought in December and January and this has gotten dumping in a very high value. I have bought lisk at $24 and it is now bellow  $11, I bought stratis at $15 and I have not see the price of recent. However I have not sell any of them as I hope that most of this coins are going to recover in due season.

Agree with your point of view, don't always complain about the past losses, we should try to recoup the losses, I think that recently altcoins can make a lot of money.

My portfolio is recovering and some coins are in profit. I can feel your situation, I would hold till ETH rise if I were you. Frankly speaking, ETH has the potential if you have to patience to hold for the long term.

Playing the market, especially with such volatile tools as crypto-vials is very risky. Here you have to be either a very long-term investor or have some exclusive information to play in the moment.

Not at all, on these crypt swings, on the contrary, even earned and multiplied all of its investments in half. Learn to use what the market gives now. If cryptocurrencies become less volatile, they will become attractive only for housewives :)

So i was lucky enough to start investing in cryptocurrencies in august last year. So all my investments go first up like 300%. So i had the three times what i invested. And i was like verybody else greedy, and thought there more to get. So i hold and then the correction came. And then i got like loose of 50% of my early invest. The good thing is, i participate in so many bounty campaigns, that i have easily make my lost good with the bounty tokens and coins and even have a huge profit if i would sell them now. But im holding and wait untill bitcoins has better stand.

According to my mind, your main mistake is that you put the money you need in real life, and now your financial situation is so bad. But do not worry, you just have to wait until the market returns to its previous value or just wait for the volume to return and everything will start to improve.

Many people also experienced what you have got at the bloodbath crypto months ago.
But, I'm sure that if you are ready to get in crypto, you must be ready for the risks.
Now, the price is better than what you have experienced a few weeks ago. Now it is better although today I can see red on the market.
But, it is better to stay hold our coins when the price is low. We all see in the last some weeks that the price is very dropped and now they grow higher.
It means that everything can happen in the crypto world. You must have more strategy to invest in promising coins and hold it when it is a lower price.
It is precisely easy to say, But I also did the same, I only kept my coins during the bloodbath and now I can make some profits.

I have the feeling the bloodbath is not even over yet...April might have been just another bulltrap, also according to most TA analysts

Many investors feel like this , loosing at the same way it is not your end, may be time will come sacrifice now and then gain for tomorrow, that is simly quote that i shared.

Well, I am affected and during this crypto bloodbath I am as well down as 65%. But just don't panic sell , the "bloodbath" affects all the coins. So just hold for the time being because it will go up for sure.

Passion will lead to irreversible, well that is not sold. Now you only have one strategy hoping that by the end of the year he will return to the price of last year, to reduce the losses a little. We all lost, I'm sure more than half of all investments.

I haven't lost anything because I haven't sold anything. The only time that you lose money is when you sell your coins at a low price. But the value of my coins that I am holding have gone down a couple of thousands since the dip in january which is why I am still holding onto my coins, selling during the bear market is not an option and I am looking forward to the next bull

i have already lost about 60% ,but it's not considered a loss as i still HOLDING.market in this bearish trend for a long time now since this year and people are starting to need some cash so they sell which cause more RED market . i hope it recovers soon

I have in total lost over 60% of the value of my entire portfolio by January of this year. Yes, this is a huge amount, but at the same time a valuable experience, I am confident in correcting the situation.

My portfolio has lost 70% since January,unfortunately,but I am not selling and I am going to hold for a long time.Maybe this year we will see again bitcoin price at 19000$ and I will get a chance to get rid of it and save my money.

I for one have never sold my coin during bloodbath, what I do is to forget the coin at the exchange and come back when the atmosphere is normal.  you need to understand that you only lose money when you sell. if you believe in the project, patience is all that is required and the market would be back. if you panic sell you lose your fund.

I am in a similar situation, I entered to crypto and invested in some coins at their pick, my portfolio is now 60% down, I have not sold anything either, waiting for the market to recover to make up my loses. I invested in ETH and LTC mainly as they were the best coins at the moment but after the crash the performance of these coins are bad and the price is way low. Nowadays I do not even check the price, I am just hoping that the market will turn around to recover my investment. Hodl is the only option I have.

Personally, I am guided by long-term investments, so I do not worry about the problems of temporary falling. I know that the trend will change and the coins will once again reach their previous highs.

Well I'd say I lost a higher % than most, given the low volume now it shows most people cashed out already. I have hodled from the boom and until now during the crash, seeing all my potential profits vanish away into debt liabilities. I'm one of the few fools that refused to cash out during the crash. No point cashing out now, may as well let it ride. It's always comforting to meet a fellow HODLer in the same shoes as mine.

I have withdrawn all my money so luckily I havent lost any. But recently I came across these this ICO going on for an Australian company called BlockGrain.io They’re aiming to automate the supply chain with Grain and later on Fruit/Vegetables/Wool. The sale has started.

BlockGrain’s Bounty worth a look http://[Suspicious link removed]/BlockGrain-Bounty-Promotion

Over fifty percent of my entire portfolio would be an accurate representation for how much I have lost during this bloodbath. I am still holding though because if anything I have learned in all of my years being in crypto, is that the only time you lose money is when you sell your coins for lower than you bought, so just holding the coins and waiting for the bull before selling again

Another funny period here guys, in few days I lost 30% but it is ok, scince 90% of my wallet is now a single coin, lol!

I've lost a little more than $ 100,000 since January 2018.

I lost about $700 USD during this bloodbath, but i won't say i already lost them, because i believe if i wait, i'm 100% sure that this will pass too, and all of my altcoins will rise and increase its value and price again soon

Actually there were also some other people who lost during bloodbath but I think the best way to do is to just keep holding especially that the coins that you have are those tops coins in which there is a big possibility that they will recover soon and double their value. You will not incurred losses if you will hold and be patience in waiting because ups and downs in crypto world is just normal. Me I actually didn't lose anything as I am into campaigns in which I am not investing any single penny from my pocket but the money that I got from bounty is the one I am putting into crypto investment as well but not that big.

The truth is?i lost nothing because until now my folio is intact,I didn't sell any of my coins when bloody market starts and updtp this day they are complete..

Remember that only the value is changing,but the volume stays the same.so as long as the coins is in our poseition wer losing nothing

fortunately, I managed to withdraw all my funds in the first days of the fall. and now I'm buying coins again, which I sold at the end of last year. but many of my friends have lost a lot of money due to the fact that they did not have time to withdraw their funds and were too greedy.

Not that much, I have learned that hodling is good but trading is even better, so I tend to be carefull with my investments and sell when I have to.

I am currently having -80% of my funds that I have invested in January.It is a quite sad situation but I am staying positive about bright future of bitcoin and altcoins.The new wave is coming soon.

Well IMO the blood bath is going to get much worse from here but thats a another story and only for the short term (1-2 years). The long term bull case for crypto is still intact and if you can hold you coins than they will eventually recover (only quality coins btc/eth/monero). I am gonna hope that you havent used credit cards or taken loans to pick them up.But the fact that you have had to move back with your parents tells me you have invested to much of your savings into crypto

'll try to correct your words a little. If you were buying normal coins, such as the Etherium or any other altcoin from the top 10, you lost nothing. Yes, you didn't make the right decision buying coin on one of the highs, but you should understand that the price will return to these prices or even higher, and you will make a profit, you just have to wait for some months.

I have already lost more than 30%, but I will not sell them. Only the cryptocurrency that really sells my money will completely lose money. I intend to buy some more coins and lower my average purchase price.

i lost during this bloodbath for $ 1800, and I hope the market will soon recover.

But i think if you know everything, it it good to by now.  You are the one who afraid of losing the price of your coin even it is the same token with different value.  almost all person does think about that, that's why the market still circulate then the price was hard to rise because of the afraid.  Just compare the price last year and the price now, you can see a big difference that can make you comfortable.

Until you sold your coins, you did not lose anything. As in the case of growth, until you have sold the coins - you have no profit.
Now it is difficult to predict what will happen next. I do not see any negative news. I'm waiting for growth in the near future.

i am yet to loose, i am a new investor in crypto, though the market is falling, i have faith that it will come back stronger than what i am seeing now.

I lost almost half my portfolio but Thank God i have been able to build it back up by investing in some ico that gives me many x thanks to credits ico and wan and dock they are the ico that build my portfolio back

I started investing in crypto at a time when the price was low enough, about $ 5,500, so I gradually increased my portfolio. Therefore, I am in profit even now after this temporary fall.

Well you only lose if you are measuring against fiat, which I am not. You still have the same number of coins you had in December assuming you didn't sell, so what have you lost? Just your faith in the market ;)

I have lost almost 80% of my portfolio and the blood keeps spilling without stopping. The market is too volatile right now. I just hope it bottoms out and everything stabilizes soon enough  efore many people panic and sell.

For me, the best coins are: Bitcon, Altcoin. Because they thrive better than others, it seems to me, that's why they are our future, also this is my opinion.

I lost nearly 40% of my earnings.
It made me feel bad because I could have sold it for a higher price, but I was influenced by people. >:(

Everyone here suffers the amidst of ongoing bloodbath and I'm thinking how to overcome or recover the loses that had been hit me for a couple of months. It's been a while that I considered my self-being bless when started joining crypto but now the only key that keeps me to hold is patience to make my portfolio full again.

During this bloodbath in general, most of my holdings in my portfolio have increased because I am continuing to accumulate more and holding until I reached my target price/goal date. I believe for long term, better days will come. Even though my portfolio shows around 60-70% down, I have already preserved my capital and just waiting for the right time to reap profit.

I'm about 75% down since the ATH, even a big coin like Ripple is down 80% since it's high, hoping that the market will start to improve now though.

I have not lost so many profits while the last bloodbath. It was a little bit terrible, sure. But in the end I bought more coins while eerything dipped. I think the market will turn bullish again in couple of days!

I have already lost more than 30%, but I will not sell them. Only the cryptocurrency that really sells my money will completely lose money.

I think this question is hard to answer. If you are talking about usd value, I think I lost about a half. But if you are talking about btc, I do not loss any btc and I have more btc than before by selling and buying back.

You are not the only one affected by this down price, everybody is affected. You just have to be patient. What I can suggest is that stop looking at the price chart all the time and if you can afford to loose, forget your investment for some time.

i am yet to loose, i am a new investor in crypto, though the market is falling, i have faith that it will come back stronger than what i am seeing now.

You loose nothing if you dont sell at a loss. If you did you still can re-buy.

Honestly, it is wise to invest to that extent, especially into something that is not stable at all. At the same time, who knows, maybe you`ll become rich in a matter of a year or two. High risk- high reward that`s how I look at it.

I think this question is difficult to answer. I do not sell Crypto currency, so I have the same amount as before, but Price fluctuations do not affect our assets until we start to sell / buy it, I am sure that the highest for most coins will be exceeded this year, but we can talk about earnings only when we will make a sale later.

Most people lost about 30% of the contribution. But soon time will pass and they will repel all their losses) believe this will happen soon

I can say i lost all my profit which i made in the time before the bloodbath. The problem was that i thought the bloodbath is over and rebuyed some coins. But after that everything dropps again. So i would be like five hundred dollars in minus, but im in plus now, just because of the bounty campaigns i participate. Without them i couldnt sleep at the moment ;D

I just simply stopped to trade and relaxed. I took some days of the rest. Now I see most coins are gaining, and I feel very happy.

I lost half of my money during the bloodbath event but I never stop doing trading until I get recover and earn some money.
I fell happy right now because I buy some good altcoin and bitcoin in a low price now waiting for pump up to earn a good return.

These terrible  2 months (Feb - March) stole from my wallet about 50 % of my savings,  I hope and pray  that spring will bring  better situation

Personally, I did not lose a lot of money, because as soon as the fall began I went out to USDT then I suffered a little and started buying altcoins, but I do not have such large sums as many other people who speak about such things today.

How much have you gained during this bloodbath?

I cannot say that I lost more than 25% because most of my tokens comes from my bounty earnings t. I do have regrets because I should have sold them earlier so that I would have gain much more profit that what I have in selling them now.

This is really a very strong correction, which lasted for half a year. The market is going down and down. I was partly lucky. Because I bought a lot of coins at the bottom of the market. Only the coins I bought during the ICO were sifted. And some of them have lost 90% of the ICO price. But I think nothing to be upset, those who came to this market for a long time, be sure to get their profits, you just need to wait a little

You have normal savings in cryptocurrency. I think you should not worry about the fact that Ethereum or Litecoin will cost zero, because the probability of this is very small. There are much more chances that the prices for cryptocurrencies will start to grow and you will multiply your savings. I, just like you bought some coins at a price higher than they are today, but I do not sell anything and therefore I can not yet say that I have lost something because of this drop in prices. You lose only when you sell coins cheaper than bought.

I have lost quite a look around 20,000 dollars I hope everything will be fine very soon in a month or two

You cannot lost till you holding the position! Thats only your choice! I lost this year about 30% at all.

For a month, my balance has thinned by 25%, but I do not think this is lost money, the main thing is not to fix this loss, after times my funds will return to me along with the increase in the value of coins in my wallet

I am still green overall because i bought most of my token last yeat at September and this year at february when the price is quite low. In my portfolio only nano that is still down ~20% in value but that's still within my tolerable range so i haven't sold it. I think this bloodbath is good so people can wake up and actually research what they want to invest rather than being delusional like last december.

Those who are losing money may not be able to control their emotions anymore, because they have run out of patience. But this doesn't apply to those who are mature in running the crypto currency business quite the contrary they even make as many purchases.

I have lost more than 60% of my entire portfolio since January, and yes, this is more than sad for me but we really need to adjust to this kind of market conditions that are often happening

We really need to learn how to gain some more profits despite the bloodbath. There are people who prefer see reds in the market, than market being in greens. The reason being that they gain more by the time the prices of coins in the market have plunged. There was a time i got to realize the principle behind investing and gaining from crypto market during bloodbath. So, personally, it is not a moment of loss for me. Instead i gain more.

Sorry my friend. You have went through a lot. I've had to endure this bloodbath for too long as well. I have topped up my portfolio after each round of bloodbath since January but I am still languishing in losses after this recent red market. I wish there was less volatility in the crypto market

I just lost my Bitcoin about 0.04, because I bought Coin TRON at 800 satoshi rate and now its sarting is 600 satoshi.

I hope after the net net change to rise again its TRON and penetrate to the number 1000 satoshi. and I will experience the benefit of breaking the 1000 satoshi again.

I don't loose alot, infact I only lost a little bit because I anticipated this thing to happen, so I decided not to invest in the fast month and just joined in the bounty, in that way, I will only use my effort working and not putting any investments.

Why are you so irresponsible about your budget? If you decide to invest, be it cryptocurrency or any other assets, the first thing you should ask yourself is "am I Ready to lose this money?" Hence the main conclusion-never invest more than the amount you are willing to lose. If 15,000 euros is your entire budget, then invest 10% of that amount, your real life should not be exposed to such risks. And again, you bought at the peak of what can not be done, you should understand that after a rapid growth is a market correction, which can be delayed for a long time. Therefore, I advise you to wait for a new wave of growth and not to sell at a loss.

I lost more than $ 5000 today. But I decided not to sell my coin at current prices, because I believe the market will grow back in the end of this year.

Thats depends how you riskly are  :). As for me i started with small amount at first, and loose it. Nex times i had the same amount but i dont loose it.

many now are caught in such a trap but I advise you to be patient, we all hope for the best and that soon all investments will pay off and give an income

the prices at which you bought the ether will certainly be broken again. just be patient and wait, and I'm not sure about litcoin. but, of course, you need to be patient.

In total, for 6 months I lost a potential profit of more than $ 50,000. It was necessary in December 2017 to sell the crypto currency.

Oh, I saw your another post about making for a living with alternative cryptocurrencies.
I am sorry for your loss, but it's actually gonna be a good experience for you.
You have to forget about your funds, it's better.
Cause you can be led by emotion, not logic.
Yeah, and try bounties just for fun and to learn more about crypto and altcoins.

I do not consider loss, but I want to count profit. Therefore I wait for better times. Hold and only hold.

I am a long term investor so i am not worried for this downfall. Although my portfolio 60-65% down but i know it is a temporary loss and soon all my all coins will touches there previous highs. So i am calm and wait for the upwards trend of the market.

Yes, everyone has a greater degree of loss, my money down from $1500000 to $230000, this is very terrible, but I firmly believe that the market to restore and price can reach before, so I choose to keep an optimistic attitude to wait

My portfolio has dipped by almost half. I also do not lose hope and hope for the best. Only hold!

all altcoins that I hold, maybe I loss 70% of them it takes long to recover these losses, but it's ok it just small amount of money that I invested I know the risks of cryptocurrency.

Over fifty percentage of my complete portfolio would be an accurate representation for a way tons i've misplaced at some stage in this bloodbath. i am still maintaining even though because if whatever i've discovered in all of my years being in crypto, is that the simplest time you lose money is while you sell your coins for lower than you got, so just maintaining the coins and looking ahead to the bull earlier than selling once more

A friend of mine lost a decent amount of money on bitcoin despite buying from $500 onwards. I've had 4 exchanges die on me (with coins on) lost coins mining and lost coins trading. I've lost wallets and forgotten passwords. I could have done better, I could have done worse. It's a fascinating subject with a hefty dose of risk. It's not a no-brainer, especially for new entrants.

As far as I am concerned, I have invested in all the currencies inside, and I have prepared this mentally.
If I have lost all, I am not afraid because I am within my capacity
In fact, I personally feel that it is impossible to completely lose money. Although it is now in a loss state, I don't want to be free to operate. My currency is still my currency, and it will surely rise again. I have confidence in my own currency.ncy.

I am a long term investor so i am not worried for this downfall. Although my portfolio 60-65% down but i know it is a temporary loss and soon all my all coins will touches there previous highs. So i am calm and wait for the upwards trend of the market.

Let say I lose 80 percent in total of my investment but by just doing tradings with other I recover the 30 percent so I was like down 50 percent now . I do not have a plan to cash-out thus I want to wait for the big booms in crypto world . :)

I've lost already 75% of my portfolio right now. Ouch.. But, I added stacks again, because it's the best opportunity to buy. I am confident it will go up again for upcoming months.

It is better to open up so you can release your bad feelings at the same a shared experience might be a help to others. Just do not lose hope and soon you can recover what you have lost.

Do not worry. The main thing is that you have invested your money in reliable coins, and not in shitcoins. The only thing is, you are not lucky that you entered the cryptocurrency during the peak, and now the market is in correction. Although many bought large amounts of eth for 1000+ euros in January, you're still lucky.
I advise you to stop following the course of crypto-currencies for a couple of months. Engage in self-education, read books about cryptocurrencies to understand the market better.

Nothing! Because I do not sell at a low. Why would I even do that if I won't earn anything from it? See, the amount we invested should be the amount we are willing to lose. So if and when the market crashes, we are willingly to wait patiently until the recovery. Panic is not in my vocabulary.

0. Understand one simple truth. Until you sold - you did not lose anything

I have bought some Ethererum few months ago. * Around 1,000$. we have the same thing in mind yes ETH is one of the most stable token on the market and one of the most trusted guessing what happend with the bloodbath. :(

In January I was able to successfully go to bitcoin and usdt. But in April I thought that soon there will be a market reversal, and I bought altcoins again. WAN, ICX, DGB, REQ, AMB, DRGN - for these coins in the end, I have -50%. Sad.

Market is a game, so play it, especially with such volatile instruments such as kriptovarianty, very risky. Here you have to be a very long-term investors, or have exclusive information, to play at the moment.

I have not lost so many profits while the last bloodbath. It was a little bit terrible, sure. But in the end I bought more coins while eerything dipped. I think the market will turn bullish again in couple of days!

A couple tens of thousands of dollars so far. I am expecting even more losses because I do not believe that we are out of the woods yet so I have already prepared myself for the worse from this point on out.I know a couple of people who had millionaire status at the height of the bull market but have now lost so much of it

I have sympathy for your experience. I have encountered the same thing. Many people think that ETH is very stable. I purchased ETH in March. I have lost more than 40% now! This is the encryption market, there is no stability at all!

Actually I found this is an unprecedented bloodbath. I am just a small investor with a small amount of capital. Around the beginning of May, 2018 when bitcoin was at 9.7k usd and then down I thought my chance had come, I gathered my money plus borrowed my friend friend bought 10 bitcoin for $ 9.1k i think then the bitcoin price will go up soon. But it was not unexpected that it did not increase but it was worse off. Until now at the end of June 2018 bitcoin price then you know it. Today is 5.9k usd / 1 bitcoin. So for nearly 2 months I lost about $ 30,000. Really is the worst thing for me

i've lost almost 60-70% of my portfolio's value.

It's the game, but i'm not worried. I know that there will be (not before the next year) a new pump...until that i just don't look at the price :)

I invested more than $ 1000 from early 2018, now I only own $ 140. Maybe in this bloodbath, I almost lost everything. But I will always calm down and patiently wait until the market price increases

The coin prices have dropped significantly, and I'm constantly looking at the coinmarketcap and the state of my coins, but I will not lose anything until I sell the coins below the price at which I bought them.

The cost of my portfolio has decreased by 5 %. I'm trying not to panic. The cryptocurrency market has always been and will not be stable. You just have to wait for the right moment.

since i'm a miner of ETH, even at this price i'm getting very little profit.

If i were to calculate how much money i've lost since max values, i would say 72% down. The same as the value of the coin at that moment compared to now.


if i consider the value of the last 60 days, i've lost about 40% of ETH value.

BTW:

1 the market will not recover to January max values NEVER.
2 be prepared to lose it all.

I have already lost more than 30%, but I will not sell them. Only the cryptocurrency that really sells my money will completely lose money. I intend to buy some more coins and lower my average purchase price.

maybe you are not the only one who lost a lot of money in this period, and many more lost, but I myself is not much because I do not want to risk with what is happening right now, I just take the moment where I will save and not want to sell it.

I am a long term investor so i am not worried for this downfall. Although my portfolio 60-65% down but i know it is a temporary loss and soon all my all coins will touches there previous highs. So i am calm and wait for the upwards trend of the market.

If I calculated ETH I lost 3 ETHs this time, the market always dropped and I can not believe they continue to decrease. and today they continue to decline can not rise up.

I lost not much, I am only doing long-term investments, I am not very worried about losing,I know that it is temporary.

Honestly, I haven't lost anything in this bloodbath. Sure, if I count all the profit I could have made in January if I sold for dollars, then I've lost so much. But that's the thing, for us holders or believers. We didn't sell yet what we held. So we haven't made profit yet, or losses on that.

Now for speculative holds, ah yes, I lost a lot on Elastic, but I also made a lot on Sia during the spikes, and Verge several times, all recovered my capital and even covered the Elastic losses. Now I just have some of all these, I could sell any time for even more profit, but will hold them "forever" now I guess.

you are not the only one who lost a lot of money ,, almost all feel it. still calm, do not too often see the current market price. Do other activities, so your mind is not driven by price.

I haven't paid much attention to the encryption market for nearly a month, but when I came back, I saw worse prices, which is really strange. The bear market has started again.

I'm also one of those people who lost the money because of great fall of the bitcoin. In fact now I lost about 60% of my investment, which was a little scaring in the beginning, but it is more about first emotions, because then I became quite calm as I am a long term trader and I feel quite optimistic about future of the crypto as a whole.

I have lost 60% of my investment during this blood bath but I am sure that soon I will earn it back.

I didn't lose anything. because I sold my coins in time at the end of January, and I think I did the right thing.

Yes, I see. People lost a lot of money I think. But you loose money only when you close the position. For now you still good, because you din't close it yet. I think this year gonna be bloodly next gonna be grow also

I lost approximately 50% of my initial investment, but fortunately i took part in several good bounty campaigns and they gave me some tokens.

About 40% down since the ATH, lucky I have a lot of BNB as thats not done as badly.

I have lost a lost during this down period. But the significant one is my coin failling from $1800 to $400. The money is not that huge, but the issue is that i made up my mind to sell when it got to $1600, but i was tempted to hold. And when it was falling, i still had faith.

I am still HODL so.... i can say that nothing has been lost yet.  ;)
But i feel sorry for those who had bought crypto in January and then sold for lower price.

I lost almost half my portfolio but Thank God i have been able to build it back up by investing in some ico that gives me many x thanks to credits ico and wan and dock they are the ico that build my portfolio back.

First of all, I personally think that your statement is not appropriate. Although the cryptocurrency is now at a low price, it is not always in a low position. Are you sure you must sell the lowest position? I think the cryptocurrency market has risen and fallen. This is normal. I choose to hold it for a long time, which will bring me more income.

I haven't taken part in this and that's why I haven't lost anything. To my mind, it is always necessary to check the projects you are going to take part in. You should take into account that there are many scams today

In this market slaughter, my loss is over 40%!
This is the price I bought at the time:
BTC - $8000
ETH - $600
EOS - $18
Their current price has dropped by more than 40%!

You are losing only if you sell. If you are holding top coins like ETH or BTC why would you sell them? If we invest only that amount we do not need for life then we are safe and can wait for the market to recover again and increase and will have  profit from our investment.

I would like to not consider it as a loss yet because I'm still hodling my coins, and I believe that once the prices spike up again, I will get my funds back, and even some profits. I believe that the only way you can count your losses is when you completely give up on the market and then sell off your coins during this bloodbath.

i lost about 60% of my portfolio during this fall. i havent sold any of my altcoins. i have been keeping them since the beginning. ok if i sold them, i would have a very good advantage but i couldnt know that it will be like this.

Of course, given the fact that at the beginning of 2018 the etherium was priced at $ 900 or $ 825, then Until now, investments in the etherium have fallen 4 times. But this is an average figure if we consider the fall in prices for other coins.

Not too much, as I am mainly focusin on daily trading slowly, I was aiming for long term profits so I invested in bitcoin which is already recovering to what I believe will be a higher price than the one it had before.

I share you pain too! its not easy to lose money at what people gained so much from. The bloodbath has had its own rally and i think some more corrections are a bit bound before the next run even tho we dont know when that may likely happen. Keep holding for you wont lose a dime if yoou dont sell.

I have not lost anything yet and i wouldn't want to lost either. Though the market is showing RED but one thing is certain about this, that the market will have a u-turn to displace RED for GREEN. Let us be patience if we don't want to lose, hold is the key when the market is RED to avoid lost....

It's been a frustrating time for most of us holders and traders. I watched my over $10k portfolio dipped to less than $2k and watching it further could make one lose hope and purpose but knowing how the crypto market works, its only a matter of time before it begins to rise again. I am not too bothered, only looking forward to better days ahead because they will surely come.

My reduced money is around 80% and that makes me upset.
I also saw a lot of my friends who were estimated at around 70-80%.
I think this situation will be good for the future.

Unfortunately you buy ETH at a very high price, but it happens we think market will go high but suddenly it takes a big dip. If you will sell now at down price then you will be in loss but if you wait for a good value then you can get profit.
My portfolio is almost 90% down, but I’m still holding & don’t bear to lose anymore.

I haven't lose anything for I did not hold any coins as I am just in my first stage of crypto life. Hoping that I will have a better place while having here. I think those who loss have been in hurry or in very aggressive style dealing the unstable cryptocurrencies. I wish that everyone who are at the process of recovery will recover as soon as possible.

Of course very sad to hear when people talk about such losses. Many people lose money because of unsuccessful investments in the cryptocurrency market. I think that since you have nothing to lose, the best solution is to wait until the price rises again. And it will certainly happen. Wait awhile.

Everyone lost a lot of money this year, for example, I had about $ 40,000 in altcoins, now these altcoins cost about $ 6,000. But I knew that this was a risky investment and was ready for the fact that I would lose everything.

I lost nothing because I'm not the type that looks at the price in USD ,quantity of my coins is what matters to me ,I don't know how to trade so no lose in trading as well ,I'm sure I will gain huge profit well on ready to sell my holdings.

I lost 99.35 of all my wealth in the last nine months of the bear market, but now I think I found something that might help me slowly win back the money over time. I have invested what little I got left in three promising projects, two already have use cases and products and one is going to launch its platform end of the month. So I think with these three, plus another project I have in mind and some trading plus arbitrage, things might turn around for me. Yesterday ARBITRAGING launched their manual arbitrage robot and I am going to start saving up for that so I can do manual arb trades.

I've dropped a lot more than 50% associated with my personal whole profile because The month of january, as well as indeed, this really is a lot more than unfortunate personally however all of us really should adapt to this sort of marketplace problems which are frequently occurring.

by my standards it is enough to think about whether it is worth staying here, but I do not lose hope to compensate for this.

There are many people with similar stories , and it is really a pity for such people that they have become hostages of the market , the best way is to expect that the price will return to its place or become more.
