Atleast January 9th this year, my crypto investment was $50,000. I checked it today and it has dropped low to $9860.
I am very sad.
Please is there any chance the market will recover and i will get my $50,000 back?

That plunge seems to be too much. What did you invest in that dropped as low as that. If that is what you have experience, i think it will be better you hold, so as to loose totally. I believe the cryptomarket will get better any time soon. We all hope for the better. We have also seen that signs of good omen with the presented pump in prices even if it is not that much, but i believe that gives a picture of good things to come.

The market is very likely to rise again, even though I am not sure that you will get all your 50,000 back,
 just keep holding, who knows, a miracle may happen one day. Let us keep hoping for the best.

Wow! You have been hammered by the recent downfall of the market. What did you invest that has cost you this much? I hope you didn't go for some shitty altcoins. If you have invested in Bitcoin and altcoins among the top list then you should hodl all of them as your portfolio is already down to an astonishing number. Yes the market is in correction with so many anti cryptocurrency movement from social network sites to government rules. But I guess even with these negativity the market is doing quite good. Let's not forget that the news from G20 summit has been very positive towards cryptocurrency. My assumption is once they gather a list on how to regulate cryptocurrencies globally the market will boom once again.

the market will recover in the near future, but not all coins will rise. if you hold the popular coin or alt old, then you are lucky, but if you hold shitcoin, then your chances are very small.

That loss was too high. In what coin did you invested your $50,000?

Bitcoin's price is now recovering so other altcoins will recover so. Just don't sell at loss, you will recover it just be patient.

it will recover eventually it's how this crypto world works. Keep tracking and have your exit strategy ready

You definitely bought at the wrong time.

You pretty much bought at the highest point of both bitcoin and altcoin, and with some cryptos losing 80% or more of their peak values, it's really no surprise that your portfolio has dropped to such lows.

There is definitely more than a chance of you recovering your funds. However you do need patience. You have made the wrong decision to put so much money into crypto at one time, now you just need to wait it out until the next rally comes.

There is no other option because you've already lost more than 80% of your investment, and even if you cash out, you'd be only looking at 20% which is virtually next to nothing. Take the risk, you will probably get your $50k back come the next crypto-summer.

May I know your Portfolio?
I also agree what the heritage35 says. What coin do you buy? if you buy coins that are in top coinmarketcap. chances are the coin will double. hopefully!!!
My assets fell by about 50%. But I bought a coin from Top 10 Marketcap.

As interest in Bitcoin investments has reached a high level, chants from HODL on Twitter and chat forums have also increased, Ignore Daily Price and HODL. But is HODL action really a good strategy? ???

The crypto market will surely go back to what it was kast year or bloom further but only time will tell. For now just hold your coins/tokens and do not panic as you will just lose all of your investmenta. Would also suggest that you add more coins/tokens while their price is low overtime as it will accumulate to your profits. Do always remember that you should buy crypto if the price is low so that if the price spikes your earning will be great. If you are a risk taker then you could trade crypto if you want so that you can earn right now.

Must be frustrating to see how much had been lost from your investment. Its not going to even make your mind even if we tell you to hold on because the market is going to be back soon. Believe I have seen all these happen every time the market goes up sure it may not relieve you now but you might wanna forget this nightmare first and be back after months or years.

Welcome to the world of bagholding hehehe. Everyone here in Bitcointalk has experienced it one way or another.

Also, if you see any Legendary member with an account made on 2012 - 2013 and still shilling altcoins, then there is a good chance that person is still bagholding hehe. So that would be 5 - 6 or more years for some coins to go back to breakeven.

What coins are you holding?

Of course it is. If you have invested what you could afford to lose and no need to sell your investment for your daily needs then why not hodl your coins until they get back to the prices that you bought? In cryptocurrency it is often the weak hands who take a beating when there is FUD, and often the strong, calm investors fulfill their targets by holding onto their investments.

Everything is possible in crypto world but it takes times. This is just my opinion and please don't take this seriously. What I think is that you invested in the wrong time or quarter of the year. January 2018 is when the price of the coins hit an all time high, with that it means that in next couple of months until Q4 of the year, the value of the coins will rise and fall. Why is that? Because most of the people have plenty of money after December so many people are investing in crypto during it. I think that you need to wait until a year again before you will reach again your investment. You are unlucky if you are holding dead coins.

In essence must be patient... :D Hodl bitcoin is a long-term strategy that requires the resilience and courage of beliefs but which I believe will pay off.

I think that there is always a posibility that it can catch up again. When? Noone know. When we based on the trend now. I think it will take more time before it can catch up again.

there's way too many coins currently that has no real reason to exist, it's just a way to get a huge fund by jumping on the latest trend kinda..
if you do your research about what you buy and know what you buy into, then over time you should be able to go back up.
but I think we'll be seeing the start of shitcoin purge now, when real world usage rolls out

I'm pretty sure that you have nightmares seeing your portfolio going down. But hey, you are not the only one suffering. Almost everybody, although I have investments, but its not big as yours. It just really sad and felt very frustrated that after enjoying so much money in December, comes the suffering.

But don't give up, don't cut your losses by selling, but instead just continue to hold because I very positive that one way or another we will bounce back and can get to at least break even mid year. So just hold your horses and don't do something stupid that you will regret later.

Oh, that's a little sad! But not really worth any whine or complaint or even a little frustration about crypto investment. Worry not, firstly, because you are not alone. All of us are investing in the same crypto market. And when the market is going down, all of us will also go down. We are in the same train. When the market starts rising, then all of us will also be going up. That is what the crypto train is all about. Secondly, you do not need to worry because the bullish period is happening very soon and you will not only get back your $50,000, you might be getting back $200,000 or more.

That is normal mate, we do hold because we have no option, if we sell it's like we are doing a suicide.
I don't mind holding but I have to learn how to diversify so if some of my holdings will still stagnant, I am sure somehow there are coins
that will perform and in overall would make me profitable.

If I am you, I will still hold the coins and not sell at loss because anything is possible in crypto market
Don't be sad. Everything will be fine eventually

Just be patience to hold it,until you recover your investment back and you gain profit.Don't  sell us of now because you lost big amount  of money.We hope and pray that Bitcoin price goes up so that many people were happy too.

I am really surprised as to how you came down so low. It must be some funny altcoins you invest in that gave you this low you are experiencing. Market will boom but if you are not holding some good coins, your portfolio may take a long time to recover

be patient and don't panic, it will definitely be a return of capital because the longer the market will certainly be improved will even exceed what was reached several months ago. in invest or trade, it already became a risk and hold your coins for a long time was the right choice to avoid losses.

You have a big loss.  The value of your portfolio fell 5 times.  The cost of my portfolio fell 3 times, and this is also very much.  Be prepared for the fact that some coins from your portfolio will not restore their value, or they will be restored, but not soon.  You need to look at the composition of your portfolio to make assumptions.

Probably, you might have invested a coin that you think could increase more profit which in effect doesn't really go to the right direction to be more profitable. Most likely you had chose the not so good coin in the crypto market but for now, I would have to suggest to hold your coin since this is the best option for you to do which is HODL your coins. Just wait for the time being that btc will pump up more thus affecting the alts and pulling it's price back upwards and with this, you may gradually recover your losses.

Oh no it will be big loss for you and i am feeling sad about that you have loss more than 40k. please don't sell anything now wait for end of 2018 sure you will get good returns from your investment.

I would like to know first what coin did you bought? Is it bitcoin?

So here you should not panic because when the cryptomarket decreases it will increase but we can't say when because its depend on the people who buy and invest on altcoins, ethereum  and bitcoin.

So let me guesse that you are an holder so remeber if you are holding any bitcoin and ethereum don't panic and don't exchange it to USD. You should really remember that dont ever panic and dont sell it wait it for the market to rise and yes by the end of the year, I am one of the people will say wait anytime this month because the money you have lost I guarantee you, you will earn what you had lost.

I suggest if you earn back the total price of 60 to 70k you should exchange it back to USD.  :)

I think you're tough enough to wait until now,thinking that you have lost more than 80% or your asset still holding on,i believe that the only thing you need now is moral booster,thats why asking about our sentiments about this iss.all i can say is HOLD mate and patience,i also losses more than 40% now but instead of cutting losses i choose to hold and wait.so i guess lets continue the waiting mate

I quite believe that the market will recover very soon because through out this year,2018 we not have seen any stable and consistent growth. The recent news from the G20 is strong enough to cause market prices to soar in the following months to come. Let us continue to hope for other positive news to boost the present one because the market is depended on sentiments.

Yes there still a possibilities that the market will catch up dont worry about it . It will return to its natural state it will returm . Return a week or so then check the market but still i belive that the market  down but it will return on fall

Now many are annoyed that the market fell after a sharp rise in late 2017. We can only wait for better times.
There are some forecasts that this will not happen before 2019, unfortunately. So for now there is no need not rush.

the question is when do you want your investment back. as for now, there is no sign that it will be back in time. the investment time you did was wrong it was the high value that time when investing you have to study first everything expects the risk of losing. the best time to invest is now and wait for July.

I understand how you feel about losing that huge amount in cryptocurrency due to the downfall of the market, coz’ I felt the same way like you too. I lost like almost 80% of my total assets due to the great Bitcoin crash and going ups and downs in the cryptocurrency market. However, I believe that one day it will recover again when a bull run commences anytime this year, but I cannot predict well because anything can happen. We have no choice but to hold on and diversify our options to sustain ourselves.

Crypto market is good and we can not predict the crypto market accurately while the bitcoin is good and the crypto market is very tough and the people are investing their income in the present time while every thing is possible in the world. So we have to be active in the bitcoin and altcoin trading and my friends are doing good for the improvement in the crypto and personally i own bitcoin for the future.

The whole market was a hype last year which may be one of the reason why it dumped too low this year. Despite of all the red days of the crypto market, I still believe that it will recover. Maybe not too soon but maybe after summer.

About two years from now. The main thing in this is what coins you invested, most likely bitcoin and various inexpensive altcoins. In principle, with the growth of the market, everything will look good, just the growth of each coin will be different in time, and some and half a year will be small to restore the previous level. Everyone remembers the stagnation of 2014.

Oh sure!
The chance is very high, but you will have to wait a very long time, maybe even the end of the year, but you will return your 50,000 thousand dollars, and this sum is not too big!

It's hard for the cryptomarket to catch up, but hopefully I think 3 to 4 months in my prediction that it will regain its value/ price so worry no less it will catch up soon.

I believe that the ether as well as other altcoins grow along with bitcoin, and when everything was feverish due to forkkoin fork, the broadcast dropped more than twice, indicating that without the success of bitcoin, the ether is back to $ 10 per unit.

everything can happen in the world of cryptocurrency, and I also experience the same thing as you, but surely I think the market will recover in a very long time, so we should be patient

Its not just yours,mine too and others too.Whole crypto market took big dip but everything will be back .You just need to wait for December and you will see
I lost 200K

The market is recovering in exchange rates experts have identified that will happen in mid and late 2018 when people have the need to buy cryptos to hold until the end of the year. Then the Bitcoin and Ethererum rates will increase rapidly as everyone's safety is to hold the top 10 coins. So I think you should continue to keep and not sell because that would cause losses because the cryptocurrencies market is very potential.

You do not have be worry about. Market is actually low but it is temporary. In my opinion your Wallet will back to normal price, of course if you have not invested in shitcoins

In the cryptoworld, anything is possible when it comes to the prices of the cryptocurrencies. It is highly possible that your coins might even rise higher than the $50k it was at the beginning of the year. What you should avoid is panicking because of fake news. Just be patient.

I think that you have the ability to regain its balance. Why do you have so much reduced balance. But still-just wait until the market is restored, or you can trade (but if you have not done so before - I do not advise, because you risk losing the last money).

There is a big possibility that it will recover the value that you invested but you hold it all the time unless the cryptomarket will bounce back to its normal increase as the demand will continue adjust over the cheapest price. Lesson learn from you is avoid invest in a high value because even though you have invested it a potential coin but it suffer a long profitabilty if the situation is like this market trends crazy down fall.

Many tokens are in for a rough road ahead. I think too many of them rose exponentially with the price of ETH, without any regard for their real value. A lot of scammers made off with millions and some even did so legally by selling hopes and dreams of getting rich to people. I don't think (well actually I hope) that most of those tokens never recover and the stupidity stops there. It takes time and work to create a successful project. There are so many projects that have been steadily getting better since 2014 that got dwarfed by brand new projects that essentially did nothing but make promises.

It depends on what coin you invested in. I am quite sure you did not invest in major coins because the price dropped only about 50% but your portfolio dropped way more. If it is shitcoin, even if the market recovers, yours may not. But if you have some top coins in your portfolio, then I am sure those may recover in the future.

Well. Quite many people who invested in the month of January in the year 2018 are down in their portfolio by at least 50%. Your portfolio seems pretty down that by around 80%. Seems like you invested all your money into the coins that were in hype.

As your portfolio is quite much down currently, it will take at least 7-9 months for your loss to recover and for you to see profit on your investments. You will get your investments back for sure; you will just have to be patient and HODL for at least a year or so. The market will soon recover and be back on bullish track.

The chance is definitely there. In the market, there is no constant drop in the Crypto currency. Also there is no constant growth. The market is cyclical. Therefore, after this fall, growth will begin. No one can say for sure when this happens. But it will happen necessarily.

Sad to see those figures but you are not alone. I myself is also losing a lot reason why tried to relax and lie low on trading. If you are holding good coins then chances are it will recover back soon. Just don't lost hope, relax, stay away from too much monitoring and go to a vacation.

True. It’s not just him, many other people bought coins when they were in momentum and making new all time highs and the market was bullish. But it was obvious for experienced traders and investors that correction will surely come after the bullish trend is over and at that time many cashed out before the market dropped.

It’s the rule of crypto to always buy when the others are selling and always sell when the others are buying. In this way you can save yourself the trouble of getting caught in loss due to corrections and market dips.

Yeah. It’s totally unsure whether you will be able to recover your loss and gain profit soon enough because the market has seen deep correction and might take 1-2 year to recover totally if government continues to regulate it. If you want to cover your loss, I would suggest you to keep buying more coins in each dip you see and sell it again when it pumps by 20-25%. Slowly and steadily you will be able to cover your loss and experience significant profit when market recovers.

True. It totally depends on the coins that you hold whether your loss will recover or not. If you invested in some shit coin and scam coins, they are most likely to fall to zero and never ever rise again and it’s better if you sell it now itself, but if you hold bitcoin or other altcoins with great potential and the one that make top 50 list on coinmarketcap.com, then you can surely hold them till the end of this year. Good projects will surely rise and the bad one’s will crash to zero and never recover. I hope that you hold Bitcoin and good altcoins.

The market will recover, this is where HODLing becomes increasingly important. After the .com bubble many people lost money, however, once the stronger companies began to operate and show their worth the market began to narrow down and become healthier.

We are now in a bear market and how long it will last is unknown. Maybe until June, maybe a couple more years ....

Sorry to hear about your loss there. However, if you try and look at past trends of the coins that you're holding onto, then you may have an ideal picture of what the future holds for those altcoins or BTC's that you have. From my point of view and experience from reading through some threads in this forums, I believe you should be able to recover either you break even or minimize your losses because you did lose a lot.

I would say,the posibilities of getting back your money will be less,because the market is getting dumped by these big players probably the financial insitutions are the ones who are manipulating the bitcoin's value as of the moment. We need to calm down and wait for these people to end this bloody market,because whatever we do there will be bloody markets!

Patience is need when you are investing in crypto you should know that because bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies i highly volatile, you should know also there's a risk if you invested on this.
So, to lower the risk much better to hold a long-term if you don't like to lose, just wait and stay calm on this situation now, trust is needed on this kind of business and at the same time patience.

It's more than possible, if bitcoin can raise from nothing to something, then anything is possible. In Crypto ecosystem impossibility is no no....  The market needs some form of balance, with time everything will go back to normal.

We can say that the market would catch up definitely but we can also say that it won't. We never can tell what the market's future holds for us. All we have to do is be prepared for what will happen and try to be more optimistic. Think and plan also other ways on how we can cope up from what we have lose.

Not only is it possible, it is highly probable sometime this year we get some good news and make some sort of bull run. It may not match the run last year in Spring, or the later run in Winter but you can be sure you will make some of that coin back. If you aren't confident in crypto anymore though, you can sell anytime in the free market and alleviate your pain.
