I invested $100,000 into ETH when it was at $800. I was wondering if I should sell and re-buy or hold? Will ETH reach $800 again this year?  ???

You invested a big amount. Selling with the actual price of Ethereum will lead you to a big lose. You have to hold your ETH patiently and take care of your wallet security as well. The price will go up again above 800$ most likely, but it require some time, and we can't predict exactly if it will happen this year or not.

A lot of money! Have u already divided ur funds or u just all in the ETH? If u just have a stake of funds in the ETH, i suggest u just hold. For all in, u may sell about 50% of ETH into USDT and wait chance to buy it in a lower price.

Last option I would go for personally, would be selling now...

You're better off HODL'ing and waiting till the market recovers. If you want to cut your losses, you could sell, diversify in other nice projects while prices are low and wait till they value over time this year. But this is a very risky option and I wouldn't recommend it unless you are willing to take a greater loss in case bad shit happens.

I personally would HODL the ETH and wait. ETH is a very solid altcoin and has all the potential in reaching ATHs again.

PS: Don't tell others how much $ you invested unless it's someone completely worth trusting. This world is crazy and there are many envyous people around. Be safe!

Good luck!

This is serious amount to put on 1 coin! My portfolio is bigger, but it's spread a lot alts.

If you are looking on it as an investment, you should wait. If Bitcoin pass the 12K barrier again, ETH could easily hit $800. I believe that we will see a full market recovery in 6-12 months.

Now that the encryption market is in a state of recovery, the $800 price of eth is likely to be reached, and if not, then you can sell your BTC.

my advice personally should be HODL them, because it is too late to sell it eth price now $ 534, you lose a lot, be patient and wait ETH I think will rise again. :D

That was huge. Cryptocurrency involves a lot of patience. You have invested a lot into it, it won't be good you sell now, most especially now that the price is lower than the rate you bought it. I would advice you to hold until you are in profit or sell at the same rate you bought. The market will still get better and we have started seeing a glimpse of that. In few months' time, i believe the market will get better.

The money you invest in is a little bit big. I believe that ETH will reach $800 in the future. You need to be patient. If you sell it now, you're really losing. ETH is a promising encrypted currency. There will be a lot of application scenarios in the Ethernet network in the future. This is a valuable encrypted currency. So investment needs to be considered in the long run. Please wait for the market to warm up.

I think that selling now is not a good idea at all. ETH still has a huge potential to grow up to 2-5k in the nearest future. I expect a steep growth when they implement POS. So just hold and be patient. When the market starts growing BTC and ETH will be the firsts coins to buy for investors.

I don't think investing $100000 in a single coin is wise decision but selling now is not the best idea either. Ethereum will recover by the end of the year in my opinion, so I would recommend to hold.

I invested 1 000 000 $ into ETH when it was 1000. Can you anonymous people, that I don't know and I don't know what experience, tell me what to do?
This is a troll for sure because you don't invest that kind of money based on the opinion of some people on a forum.
If so, you deserve to lose it. If you don't know anything about investing hire someone to watch over your portfolio.

If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't say it.

Forum post is asking for enlightment on what to do. If I was in the same situation and a little nervous, I'd prob. do the same. Fortunately for me, I already know more or less how this market works.

I don't see any harm in that, asking for opinions.

Depends on your goals. If you plan to play long-term then it is perfectly possible to hold ETH bought for 800

wow thats a crazy amount you invested in eth the best way you do is to hold that until eth price will bounce back unless you want lose money seriously its not good think putting a big money on single coin.

No matter what other people will say about this topic the choice is always yours. I know you earned an income out of buying  eth at $800 which is a great thing to know. As of now, I really wonder if you still believe in this cryptocurrencies because if yes then you can buy bitcoin again and wait for the right time to sell it once its value increase.

Wow!!! That's a lot of money man. I don't know what your current financial situation is like, but if you don't desperately need the money, my opinion would be to hold. As I believe the prices will all climb back up very well at some point this year. If you sell today, I you'll be making between 40-50% loss. If you can't wait for that long at least reduce the percentage loss, and sell maybe when ETH price is between $650 - $700.

I'll go with what everyone's making you do here. Hold for now. $800 was just merely a few months ago, and believe me, ETH's gonna be bigger than $800. Focus on the long term and just allow it's market to mature even more.

Please keep them because if you sell. You will lose a lot. I recommend keeping them until July 2018. I firmly believe that the price will go up against $ 800. Hold and do not sell

That's huge. You do really trust Ethereum for investing such big numbers. I hope you'd still be a fan despite of all of these bloodbath market. If I were you, I'd keep holding. Wait for ethereum's boom. I am pretty sure it will in the coming months. It is one of the best alternative coins out there.

I think you should keep them until the end of 2018. If you sell eth now you will lose a lot of money. Eth is a potential coin I think it will soon come back.

in my opinion, i recommend you to keep holding Ethereum, because it is a good project and attract more inverstor as wel as organization. Ii will bounce back soon to $1000

at the moment! You do not sell all ETH, i think! This coin will grown up and you can get profit!
I still buy ETH with about $20.000 in this times

I'm pretty sure that anyone investing that amount of money (in anything, not just crypto) must have done their due diligence before doing so. This level of investment is way above my head, and probably many of the forum users. But I guess overall, the amount invested is irrelevant, that amount could be to you what $1000 is to me, or $100 is to someone else.

Selling it at it's current price would hurt, I say chuck in another $100,000 at the current price and you'll be laughing in a few months. If it keeps dropping, just keep putting another $100,000 in until you're balls to the wall and hit a cool $1m.

As I see posted at the end of all cryptocurrency articles, this is not financial advice, invest only what you can afford to lose, do your research. Maybe donate some bitcoin to the homeless, I read somewhere that people do that now, crazy world we live in. Good luck.

Ethereum is a good coin. You just need to be patient as it's too early to get panic and you will get lose if you sell and buyback as you don't know if the price will goes to your side. I suggest you to hold it wait for the right time.

we return again to our needs, if indeed you need the funds I think there is nothing wrong you sell it, if it does not need to be better arrested first who knows ETH the price can go up, if later ETH price down I suggest to buy it. ;)

Sometimes it happens as crypto currency has volatile in nature. Prices can go to other side in just a short period of time. I think you just need to be patient and hold your funds. Take a vacation and don't think of your investment and don't check the price for 2-3 months. I'm sure you will surprise.

I guess you know that eth will soon recover and the only reason behind the set back is the massive number of coins that where put back into circulation but if you give the market time to absorb this trade off , am more than certain that Ethereum will soon see $800 and maybe reach a new all time high.

Ethereum is number 2 coin of this market and it will reach again at your buy price or even more in future. Always put money in different coins so if one coin go in loss,maybe other give you some profit. Now you have to make some patience to get your buying price as market is in bad news phase.

I hope when you invested so much money you did not expect to double it in a few days? This is a long-term investment, just wait. By the autumn you will already be in profit. If you sell now, then you will only fix the loss. I do not think that this is a good move.

The amount is large and now selling ETH is not the best solution. At present, all cryptocurrencies are experiencing difficulties. But as we have shown BTC is that the drop rate is on the rise. That's just this rise may be slow. Therefore, it is better to wait and then there will be an opportunity not to lose anything or even to make a profit.

wow a big amount of invest huh? , i think you should invest on great ICO rather than ethereum
however you should hold :)

I suggest you to buy same amount of ethereum to averege down your cost. If price go down %30 percent more then buy same amount of ethereum again.
Later you will get your profit 100%

Suggest you to hold and if Bitcoin price rises automatically Ethereum also follow the trend since all the altcoins have impact direct or indirect effects by Bitcoin. You have bought for higher amount and selling in a lower amount is not a good idea unless if it is emergency. Hold the coin for another couple of months and check the price trend.

You should see market direction before replace money, down trend still running and you only have bad option. If sell and buy back you'll lost value and maybe in big number. Hold until reach your target again need more time, do you have patience?. Best way is hold or buy back with your back up fund, it will reduce your loss an cover asset value. Up to you and keep hold.

I would sell some amount and hedge it at another coins, considering your strategy. Making the whole portfolio based on ETH is not secured.

Why you want to sell your ETH ? You invested $100,000 in ETH, you'll only get back $65,000 if you sell now, that's call investment? You should wait for at least 100% profit return, then only can sell your coins, it's not hard for ETH because ETH is a queen coins in Crypto World

I think he will reach 1k+ this year. How much you will get if you re-buy ETH? You shood HODL and stay calm.

I suggest you keep hold your Ethereum and also bought some more ethereum to averaging your investment because Ethereum is good coin and it can reach up to $800 to $1000 with in next 2-3 months.

Everyone will tell you the same - to hold! ETH had value above the 1000$. You've probably invested when you thought the fall was at the end but actually, you have invested at very good value. A market is still unbalanced and me personally, as the holder of another coin, also ain't happy with the current situation but I am also holding.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTC holders are right now in biggest fear of the further drop. Whales will slowly start to rebuy their rejected portfolio and you will soon start to make some benefits from the ETH.

You need to keep all your savings, because otherwise you will lose some of your money. I think that this will be the most correct decision, I soon think that prices for altcoin will go up, I think that soon the price will come back and even be higher.

It does not make any sense to sell now. You will lose a lot of money. Just wait until the price increases again. Besides, you want to sell and then re-buy. It sounds unreasonable.

Do not sell. By selling ETH at the current price, you will lose your investment. Hold it. The price will still recover and the ETH will cost more than
$ 800.

Hold it, and don't even look at the prices for 1 month. Later when you recovered your losses, get out of ETH , and divide your money into BTC and Ncash.

Dude you will loose lot of money like that because ETH is already 150-200 USD below your entry point. This means you will loose that much investment per ethereum coin that you sell in the future. I think this window is really easy to catch and you could just wait for few weeks more to see the investment coming up. ETHEREUM is not that bad after all as we have seen the development progress of the same through all these years. The current is way low and it can resist far more than that so you be sure not to sell anything at this point, I would have never asked such question after putting 100,000 as investment.

Although the difference in the previous price and now is about 30%, in my opinion the more reasonable option for you is to keep everything you have. I think soon the price of Ethereum will again reach 800 $ and more. This, I think, is the most sensible thing.  :)

Hey man just keep on holding your ETH, don't lose hope it'll cross 800$ soon, just have patience and don't look at the price every now and then or you'll panic and take a bad decision. Just wait for a few weeks and you'll see ETH rising again.

I cannot this kind of post serious because i know it`s not real.
Nobody will invest 100k without any knowledge about the market.
This topic is useless and made only for the single purpose of attracting attention or maybe to do a certain post count.

Be sure to reach 800 dollars. I think that by the end of the year the ETH will trade at a price of 2,000 - 2,500 dollars.

I would just hold unless you cannot afford to lose the remaining of your capital. Paper loss != loss until realized..

ETH sale will be very big mistake now and you receive very heavy loss. It is worth remaining quiet and to wait for ETH growth. I would act this way.

Just wait till the end of the year. I think if you have such money and idea to put all money in one coin you are not newbie and you know how crypto works. ETH will be more than 1k in the end of summer and the real boom of the ETH will be in November- December. So just keep calm and try to fing another 100k and put in other altcoins.

Wow this huge amount to put into the ETH in single shot. You know that there is concept called as "Whales". If you do then you are just granted the award of whales with such huge investment. But wait, whales are usually smart people who have both investment as well as brain that they can use before they make any moves into the crypto currency. Now tell me which part is really confusing for you? That your 100,000 USD investment is just lie or you are just trying to play around and look what everyone relies here. I am not sure if you are speaking the truth or not because before making such huge investment you could have thought about it 100 times at least. Also dont bother selling them, because there is noting to sell.

Don't worry, ETH will rise anyway, and I think that it will be very soon. And if you will hold your ETH at least until the end of this year, you will be pleasantly surprised when you see your balance

Excellent investment, they must necessarily justify themselves - the main thing is not to miss the chance and properly manage this asset!
ETH has a very strong potential!

Your invest is so good. Now invest again do not sell them because price is low. And hold the end of the year then you earn a good profit.

I would suggest that keeping the coins for a long time is the only option to making the most money from holding 1+ years. The coins price usually does well at that point.

I suggest to hold your Ethereum and don't try to sell and rebuy because seems the market is recovering and the price value would continually rise until the next crypto market dip in the near future.
If you sell your Ethereum last month then you could get high profits and buy back today so you could still have investments.

I think ETH this year will easily pass the mark at $ 800 and will grow higher.
It seems to me that ETH this year will grow to $ 2,000 and I believe in it.
I think you have made a very good investment and will eventually get big profits.

ethereum highest price peak is at $1,200 last January early this year so if the Crypto market will recover fully then Ethereum and other altcoins will surpass their highest price value peak this year so if you did buy Ethereum at $800 then higher possibilities you could get double or triple profit before this year ends.

It is risky to sell and to buy again because you can not now for sure how the price fluctuates. My suggestion is to hold for more time

You have so much amount of funds and you dont even know how it works? You should understand where you invest your money and don`t ask on different forums what u must do!

Do not worry too much about this because I think you should not sell it at this time and buy more if you can afford because within 1 to 2 months Eth will return to the 1000 $ mark. This is what I can be sure of and tells you to wait not to be worried.

Do not do unnecessary actions if you just started your crypto way)
if you invest for a long time-HODL

If you sell now, you will lose a lot of money. I think you should keep them. I guess Bitcoin will soon increase and ETH will also. So, wait patiently, it will help you succeed

If you are confident enough ethereum would still remain stable HOLD it but if you arent sure you should check its technical analysis for you to have a good idea if its going to be a good coin to hold or it its time to dump it.As far as i know it will switch from proof of work to proof of stakes and it means the more ethereum you have the more income you will get.

Do some due diligence first if the prices have bottomed out. Would probably rebuy more at lower prices since ETH is a pretty good project and will surely be one of those always at the top.

I think that you don't need to sell ETH even if you bought it at $800. The price has fallen by almost 50% and your portfolio is now bleeding. I'm fully confident that ETH will grow significantly. As for me ETH is the most reliable investment at the market.

I think if you already lost a half of invest - try to hold and earn.

Fluctuaction of crypto include so high, sell and rebuy depend on the your skill, times and effort to do day trading, if you have times for that you can try to trade it by amount 50% of that ETH, and other 50% more hold it. But if you dont have times for that just hodl it because fundamental of Ethereum is strong so the price will be possible to going up to around $3000 in the last of this year.

Now ETH price is 560$. Selling at this time your money will be loss. I this this season is very bad for cryptocurrency. I research past years history. Sometimes mid of this year ETH and all cryptocurrency price will be up again. I recommended to you hold your ETH untill end of this year. This is my opinion.  8)

One thing is good. You inevested in one of the best crypto today. I think the right thing to do is hold your ethereum. Because ethereum will grow much this year or next year.

Continue to wait for the rise of the price of ETH, I think the price of ETH will surely exceed 1000 dollars!

There will be a lot of ico projects going on the market this year, which requires a lot of ETH to raise money. This is a great opportunity!

Hold on, now sell means loss!

I would suggest that you should not sell your ETH since the current price is still lower than the price when you had invested ETH at that time. HODL your ETH since this is making a good progress in the crypto market and this will continue to grow in the market in the past several days. In my opinion, since BTC had been gradually increasing in the past days this had an effect on the alts too which resulted to the price increase on the majority of the altcoins. Just wait for the time where ETH will increase higher than $800 USD so that atleast you may able to gain profit.

I suggest that you should buy more at the lowest price, if you can buy at quite a big amount than the first one to accumulate the price, but at least you have a good average on the price. Wait for at least few months then you are able to see green.

always average buy and average sell.

long term investment > short term investment (for better predictability)

Hold until the price recovers or you'll definitely have a huge amount of loss. Wait patiently, eth can probably reach it's ath this year and if can still buy, better buy now because the price is still cheap.

ETH price is low as $580 now so it is a better idea if you hold it till the price reaches at $1000 and get some profit !

Totally agree. Trying to pick the peaks and dips is a very dangerous game. The long term potential of ETH is enormous and that's all you need to focus on. Hodl and I'm sure you'll see it back over $800 within a month or two.
