 I am new to crypto. I bought a $100 of Starta at .45 and it went to .82 so i sold it and my btc says 47.50 usd . Why?  :-[ :-[

But that didn't answer my question

You gain a price increase of up to almost 100% and with that much profit should your amount of money increase even otherwise.

i have no idea why your profit is down instead up can you provide some screenshot about your trade?. are you actually sure you bought 100$ worth of the coin?.

It would take a screenshot for us to be able to help you I think. If I were to guess, I would say maybe you didn't actually purchase $100 worth.

It is difficult to understand what exactly happened to you. But best of all you need to study first and only then try real money.

Its better if you can provide a screenshot of your trade history.
when did you sold it? what specific date? maybe bitcoin value is high at that moment when you sold it.

your calculations may be wrong, this is not in accordance with the market price. Or maybe you are wrong to see try to check again so we are not confused with your mistakes.

How did you buy those? is it using BTC or ETH pairing? There might be a possibility that there was a confusion in numbers, like you bought it using BTC then sell it in ETH pairing then ETH went down the price. Have you check your trading history? What exchange are you using?

according to coinmarketcap, there is only two market for Starta coin which is in Waves Decentralized Exchange and Tidex and I don't see there is a pair usdt with starta. I see that in that those market is for btc pair starta or start pair waves so I think it doesn't make sense if he said that because I see that he can sell at 0.82 and it means, he can make a double profit and this means his money is increased too. I think he needs to explain more about this and it is better to give some image so we can help him.

I screenpic'd to a WORDdoc but I don't know how to load the WORDdoc on here. Tell me how.

I think you have mistaken something up you review everything. And even when you bring it on the floor to sell it. Wish you luck next time

You can't upload document files here. Since you're a newbie, you can't embed an image in a post either. The best solution available to you is probably to upload it to imgur (http://imgur.com) or a similar service (make sure you blur out any personal details in the screenshot first) then link it here.

If you still can't do that for some reason, at least let us know which exchange you used so we could have a slight idea what happened. I'm guessing you somehow sold it below market value if you used a decentralized exchange, but I could be wrong.

Hi,
try to provide as much information of the transaction here without any personal details. This way we are able to explain to you what exactly has happened. I'm sure there is a logical explanation to it.

It is possible that you have lost some money now but luckily it wasn't a bigger sum we are talking about. So if nothing else you will learn from this incident which will hopefully save you a lot of money in the future.

As the pronoun says: 'You either win or you learn'

Let's hope it is the former in your case after all.

Did you get charged a transaction fee on either or both payments?

Geez, I am learning as I go. Hopefully some of you people can open this link and explain to me what went wrong.

seems like there is a problem in your trading. It's not clear your details to give you a exact idea.

I also think that. But that much transaction fee cannot happen through any exchange.
