Did anyone bought BTC at 3k4 and sell BTC at 8k3 for real? How many percentage of profit did you earn from the recently bull run??
Did anyone ask your self why you always miss the train and then regret and decide to fomo?
Let's disscusion about our mentality in trading. It's really a problem for all the traders, especially the news one.
Professional traders in this group please give some advices. Thanks!!!!!

I don't think about this, because for every dip last year, I bought bitcoins, like first, around $6,000, then it was dump around $3,200 bought some around this area and recently was around $5,000 this year. I hold this for long term so no regrets and no FOMO.

If we will based on Coinbase, around 158% gain if you bought BTC around $3,165 and sold it around $8,200.

I mean how many profit did people earn from the bull run (not calculate % up of BTC)
The reason why i ask this is i saw many people wait for the correction since BTC 4k,5k,6k to buy, but the price just went straight up and no correction, then people regret of not buying BTC.

I didn't earn because I simply didn't dump it. I'm for the long haul so obviously, I'm looking like in the new ath before I finally think of getting some profits.

But for those who wanted to book profits @8400 then that's cool though, as long as you can make a decent profit here and not losing money, I congratulate you.  ;D

Why not? I needed money and it was a perfect time to get some as the price goes up this month alone, so my answer would be yes.


It's a never ending discussion, we don't know when to take profits or when to hold still. But for me if I don't need money, then I will just let my bitcoin sit in my wallet. Not a professional trader though, just saying from my personal experience.

Not much since I didn't have enough money to keep my crypto .
I need to convert it into Fiat for daily expenses so I only have few .
But at least I earn some profit instead of having nothing at all it is much more better.

People think this is the time to cash out but I am not interested in taking out the profits now and hoping for the more bullish movements in the upcoming weeks.

But I don't know how long it will take to break the next resistance of BTC?

I bought to that price only for a little so I will not satisfy yet if I sell my bitcoin or convert into fiat so I will wait more rising to happen to get more profit. People now are holding their coin and I believe it will rise the value of the so I have reason to hold it. But other people bought more than the value today so they still keeping their coins until they reach their target.

I don't trade most of the time but I was able to buy on the level of $4k and until now holding with it, same thing with ETH around $120 or less.

No one, because they don't know my trading/investing activities and if ever I don't care to them because I know what to do.
Don't regret if you miss $3k level, the price right now is down and this can be a chance for you to buy again. The target price for bitcoin this year is around $15k, so there's still time to buy.

Didn't even think about that because not all of people were able to buying bitcoin at such price. I got only a hundred percent return because i bought it when the price was around $4100.
Rather than joined to the market when FOMO has already begun and i choose to move and waiting for the next dip.
Only follow or emotion will not become the best answer.

Most short-term investors sell all Bitcoin when the value of this coin reaches $7000 and very few people can keep it until now. I think the market is helping a lot of investors become richer in the last 2 months and if you can keep it up to now, your profit has reached over 170%. That's the number that long-term investors really want in this discount market so keep keeping Bitcoin until the price reaches $10,000 this year.

I made a few thousand through leveraged trading on Bitmex after the initial April 1 pump. I was trading around 0.02BTC right after the pump, and I was able to turn that into much more through some carefully timed longs around when pumps happened. Still got nearly stopped out a number of times when dumps happened, but thankfully that didn’t happen. I actually did FOMO into pumps a few times, worked out some of the time, didn’t some of the time. I’m currently working on controlling my emotions more while I sit out of the current market conditions as I don’t feel extremely confident in my trades anymore.

Most of the peoples are earn some good profit in this bull run, at the same time it will continue in future also so all the peoples are buying the Bitcoin and altcoin. I think still some peoples are concentrate the token investment because unexpected hypes are occur in token investment. So if we buy any crypto surely it will make good profit.

The important thing is realizing just how fast the price of bitcoin can move and it is an awful feeling to sell your btc only to watch it rise and never return to your sell price.  I dont have the courage to play around with high leverage trading but hats off to those of you that do.

Good mindset. I would also not sell at this point.


But still the point is we have to make money, so in order to maximize profit, one was to control his/her emotions and not to be carried away by small profits. You should get the most of out every investment so I also wound't advise, or at least personally, I don't like to sell and will probably wait for the next all-time-highs in 2021.

when are you going to sell it then?

personally i'm in for the long run, simply because i can't trade regularly. got some btc few weeks ago when i joined a sig campaign and i liquidate most of them asap, but still have some left to save for 2020 and the halving day. after the halving day, i'd probably sell some, keep profits and then bought the dip again.

Yes I earn a good profit from this lastest bull run but not huge profit since Bitcoin pump and altcoin dump this is a worst scenario in the market but I believe altcoin will follow bitcoin price altcoin if the price back to $10,000 the good thing right now if we convert to fiat it has a good convert value.
In this case we need to earn more or hold more bitcoin to make a huge profit if Bitcoin can be back to its all time high.

I simply have not taken any action since the last bull run (2017) and the bear market. I am right now 35% down now from the peak. What do you think about guys? I literally have done nothing while btc decreasing from ATH to $3000 and then increasing to $8000, almost 1.5 years.

Right now, BTC looks struggling getting back to $8k USD so my prediction is that it will go back to $6.8k by next week or next month. Whales will simply trade to another currency if BTC will not break the $8k wall going to $8.6k. Looking on the previous days, a lot have earned due to BTC getting pumped so it is never a wrong move to buy BTC because in the long run you will still earn. Just have patience and don't do FOMO and panic selling.

My current strategy is to sell after several months of bitcoin halving, maybe I will get the highest price possible for the coming years.
I do not think you should worry about selling, especially when the price recovers and returns to $ 8000 so we're likely to see $ 10,000 soon and maybe more.
Every time is a good time to make a profit and maybe a loss, the difference between them is not great so you did not miss the opportunity for the price may rise to $ 20,000 or back to $ 1000.

I earned just a little but not that much. But that's fine, even if it's just small amount. Even though at the second post, the graph shows that you can earn 158% by investing at the bottom. Well, I just invested at $5400 to $8000. I enjoyed the run and will probably try to put some money again.

I have not been lucky enough to get that moment, because at that time I did not have the funds to buy bitcoin, and I think there are also many traders who experience the same thing as me.

I have been holding some units of my cryptocurrencies and bitcoin and I do believe that bitcoin can still do better than it is doing now. I think if I can still hold for some time maybe sometime next year there is no way it will not be better than now.

my investment value is definitely increasing and it developed multiple times but I don't want to take this profit quickly because if the market Rises again and again I got lots of profits that's why I am holding till now and if the market is not going well I definitely take out.

The same reason that usually make people miss the opportunity of buying low and sell high will make some other people that usually listen to speculation about the market lose money when prices are going higher. This is because since they have missed the opportunity of buying at a lower price and the speculators have changed their story that the market is going forward but if it turn the other way, they will be at lost.

I invested in the year 2018 and at the time the value of little bit low when comparing to the today's value so my investment price is definitely increased in but I don't want to get out the profit quickly because the Bull Run will not end soon so my investment is definitely go higher and higher that's why I holding now.

Clarify it, just what happened to me, I bought 0.03 bitcoin at $3,200 before using my fiat from my pocket. Then sold it when it was around $8,100 last week.
I earned roughly $147‬ through that since I bought $96 with 0.03btc when the price of btc is on $3,200 and sold 0.03 btc it by $243 when the price is $8,100.

That's what I earn when I bought that the dip that area. Since I needed money last week, I just sold what I bought and I'm happy with the profits.

I can't say I profited yet because I haven't sold yet, so I am still holding, however I did bought and earned bitcoin during 3.4k times as well (this new 3k4 is a weird style of writing 3.4k we all know). So yeah while I profited a lot during this time, if it falls before I sell any of them then I will not be in profit, however if it goes even higher than I will be profiting a lot more.

I definitely think that it will go up and that is why I haven't sold so I am in one of those few people who profited the max possible outcome since I both bought and earned bitcoin during the bottom, I even got some at 3200 as well at the end of last year. Bitcoin has caused me to lose a lot of money during 2018 so it is only justice that I am making up for it right now.

Well, right from the time I learnt to trade cryptocurrency, I already develop a strategy in not losing out of cryptocurrency anytime, which is why when I gathered my investment fund, I decided to play 2 roles in this market, role of being a long term investor and the second role of being a short term investor.

I already bought some coins when the price was $4k, and no matter the increase I see, I don’t touch it, I just leave it there till I am able to know the ATH bitcoin will pick this time, while I also invest another fund at that price to be taking profit, so I usually take profit at every $500 increase that I see, and till now, I have been taking profit at every $500 increase I see.

I sold some of my altcoin holdings when BTC was around $8200 and converted it to fiat a day before it went down.  I bought the token during its dumping season at around 0.02USD and  sold it when goes up goes up to $0.07 during the Bitcoin run.  I can say indirectly that I did earn since my capital that time were around $500 and exit at around $1700.

In my experience, it is best to watch the market we are interested to invest in.  Know all the rumors and news about them, it is a great tool to take advantage and get profit of our holdings.



FOMO is a bad thing, we must be emotionless when trading.  Set goals and  back up plans, never let greed take the best of you.  Be informed and stay firm with your target goal and back up plans.

There are hundreds of peoples who might have bought bitcoins when the price for them was near about $3000 and some of those peoples might have sold their coins when bitcoins crossed $8000, but majority of those investors might be holding bitcoins for the near coming future to see the price going above their expectations. Earning profit in trading has not been that challenging work and bitcoins itself is a profitable investment so the amount of us having loss over there are quite low only if you lack in patience or if you are greedy. Always remember that you have to be patient in no matter what situation you are standing. Stand firm and you should surely see huge profits ahead.

Yea it is better to have little than not to have at all and I van fully understand how much expenses that keeps coming ones way on a daily basis, but one thing about this investment of a thing is that one really needs to be very discipline because of our future and future of our children.

We can’t because of daily expenses not make some heavy investment and just close ones eyes to it even if one will suffer it for a while. I usually do this too before until one of my brother asked me one question, he said how would I answer my children when they ask me in future where I was when everyone was making investment and holding it. Would I tell them I couldn’t meet p because of expenses?

Honestly, I didn't earn much actually, its only enough paying bills and bought grocery needed for my daily needs in my home.
But a huge earnings nope, I'm not in that stage yet. But for almost 1 month I think, bitcoin movement was good which is good for the bitcoin holders not me. All I got from now was altcoins like Ethereum, Nem, Neo, Utk and Xbx.

A gain of $4000 is not bad I think when it comes to earnings in the current bull market. I have been very much inclined to investment in the bearish market. This is something that has been keeping me secure even in the price falls because I make sure my initial cost of investment stay as down as possible and then vale addition like these are pretty much appreciated and adored.

well, i am still counting my percentage because the value has not stopped increasing.

The result of my investment these years making me too sell some of my percentage portfolios, enough to live with the next 1-2 years.

I'm still holding Altcoin, due we are not a party yet at the altcoin market.

Still, need to waiting longer at Altcoin to started the party.

This is outdated, now question is did you earn from $3200 to $13800 latest bull run?

I'm sure that there are speculators or investors who have earn from this run, specially those who truly believed that we are already in a sort of bull even at this early stage of this year. But make no mistake about it, the price can really go and increase at the end of the year because the sentiments have change. We have moved far away from the bear claws and we are already in the bullish cycle. Of course, the price won't go on parabolic rise, there will be bumps ahead, but personally, I will just continue to hold and make the perfect exit and then re-buy.

Actually the bull run signal was seen a few months ago when prices rose significantly from $3800 to $5500 in a short period of time, people who bought after that were smart people and now they must be get big profits, because after that prices continue to rise.

oh yes guys. I think almost everyone earned on that bullrun. moreover $4k - $13k. that was awesome for those who holds BTC:D

Not too much money because of most of my holdings in other altcoins, even I lose their value which seems to be that i didn't make any profit with the recovery of Bitcoin price. Along with the Bitcoin, altcoin prices should recover otherwise we should hold them until the prices of coins should increase.

Only short term traders are selling their spot now, any longer term investor would still be counting profit now because the held, imagine someone that sold at $8k plus now would have missed extra $5K when the value touched $13900, I know it is not good to be greedy, but not in the case of bitcoin, the fish to be caught in the future is too big for one to miss out of it and sell prematurely.

Impatience is what usually makes lots of people miss out of the train, if early investors had sold when bitcoin was $10, would they be counting their millions of dollars now? We just need to learn to be patient sometimes, bitcoin still has very great future and we are not near it at all, I believe that 1 bitcoin will still be equal to $100k in future.

I did the opposite,haha. Instead of buying, I hurriedly sold my  BTC.70 when I see it falling on the $3k value. It was a tough decision to make. I am not an expert trader and I don't have that much money to buy because I already bought some on the $4k mark but like what happened , it still manage to fall below that. Those bastards are lucky for having many experiences in this trading because I'm sure they are always buying on the bottom.

You forgot to follow old rule, buy the dip! You are buying when the price is dropping, and you are selling when it`s rising. Many people do the opposite and lose money like that. With BTC you don`t cut your loses, you don`t use stop-loss option, you hold no matter what and price always bounce back. What you can do with BTC is shorting, but that will not be always an option, and you need to do have good timing for that.

Alas, all my assets, at that time, were distributed among the Altcoins, some of them were bought at the time when the price of Bitcoin was about 6 thousand. I, of course, earned on altcoins, but this is only x1.5 not more.

I think it is not about greed anymore, its just common knowledge plus how much money you need. First of all if you have enough money to just live and not touch your bitcoin then why would you cash out your bitcoin. I seriously think bitcoin is something that will get bigger and bigger with time, not that many people deny that fact, yeah maybe we will have years like 2018 on the road but don't you think by 2030 the price of bitcoin will be way higher than right now?

Even if it goes up and down until then? Which means if you can live without your bitcoin money, there is literally no reason to cash it out. A person with the knowledge that in 10 years bitcoin will worth more and he doesn't need to cash out for something should be keeping his bitcoins safe and not cash them out, its not greed, its common sense.

Yes, just add the level of $8k-$13k I’ve made a lot of profit on that (on small value), and yes profit is profit. I still hold some of my bitcoin but I’m happy to made a decision during the short bull run, I’m still hoping for another trend like this because its a great time for getting some profit. Emotion will continue to bother us, we should know how to deal with that until we trade without thinking for any regrets.

yes I definitely do some investment in the beginning of this year because I had some prediction about my future so I invested in that time so this situation is more profitable for me to get some expected income.

Why do we, you, and I always miss the train? That's because there is still distrust of bitcoin, meaning that people who miss the train still don't believe fully. Their mentality is still filled with doubts and fear of loss. Unlike people who have full confidence in bitcoin, they will not think long about the future of bitcoin, because they have full confidence that the period of bitcoin will be better than now.


But now you have new experience from your previous trade and you can have the right decision if one day you are in the same situation. I hope you will not fall into the same hole for the second time, the more you experience, your trading level will get closer to that bastard.

Most of the new people just invest in bitcoin, because of its price and the promise of huge profit, and for that they lack experience lack vision and don't understand why or how the price is changing, so at the first sign of  price dipping they just panic and they sell, not knowing that they are missing their chances,  i feel like with bitcoin you should just stick to long term trading as it is the safest strategy if you really want to make some good profit from it.

This was very great opportunity for everyone around to invest in Bitcoin when it was once again at ATL. I have been able to invest in as much as I could. Long term investment is what I believe so I do not really bother about the short term loss of valve and this has been the reason behind my surplus. Bitcoin is still expected to go to the moon so it is still an opportunity for you all to invest.

I made money on this move, although I got up in the long somewhere at 5100 and closed the position at 7900. This is not so much. And I think this is an accident, not my skill.

Yes, I bought bitcoin at 3600 and keep it until now. I have already received enough profit and now I continue to invest in bitcoin every month, because I believe that it will grow in the future.

That fear when you are realizing that your decision could turn the table of your life. I mean, fell to $3k is quite crazy from how much you have been invested so far. You can say that just keep holding, but people have their ways to manage the situation such as your method.

Their eyes are everywhere bud :^)

.I have another view on why people usually miss the train and I think is because they don’t have enough money to tie down for too long, there are so many people that have great desire to invest in cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin, but because of too many things surrounding them to use fiat for, they wait for the time that it will not be too long for them to quickly start making profit since they don’t have sparemoney they can tie down for too long.

This is why the moment they see that bitcoin and some of these cryptocurrency has started increasing, they quickly join out of FOMO, but the time they make such decision may have been too late, because it may be when the price has already reached its peak for the main time. Our prayer is for people to always have some spare cash they can throw into bitcoin that would not have tension on it.

I'm still holding it back since the price was under $8k, when prices rose from $4k to $6k a few months ago in a short period of time I was sure prices would continue to rise, and were very grateful prices didn't stop going up. if you still have savings bitcoin then keep holding it dude :)

Honestly that was the best opportunity for anyone out there to invest in Bitcoin as the price of Bitcoin was at all time low and I am happy I was able to do some shopping. The price rise had been tremendous and I think that we will have another rally in days to come. I am having surplus right now but crypto is a market of uncertainties and anything can happen anytime.

I'm the one who has seen the bright future of Bitcoin at the moment when its price is $ 3k5.
I told my friends about the influence of Bitcoin and whales will not easily give up Bitcoin to collapse the market.
cryptocurrency is still a great source of profit for a short time and it is very attractive.
I guess correctly but I only have very little capital. I invested $ 1k in BTC and $ 600 in ETH when its price was $ 87.
Now my account has x3.5 and I still hold it even though the market is experiencing many storms.

i did and i have still holding some its always good to book some of the profits once there is good move i am still hollding some of btc from the time i booke a part btc is raising only , i am not in any rush to sell so i will wait for good targets

You cannot get any exact number of persons who actually bought it sold at that price even though there may be quite a substantial number of them.

When you talk about mentality in trading, you need to understand that it differs, every investor has his target, and most times when it's reached, they go ahead and sell, hence they miss out on any future rise in price.

I did not really. Mainly whales earned huge amount of money from the last pump. And the price is now above 11k$ to 13k$. Still some whales playing with a little trader like me and still earning money by BTC up down. Hope little trader also be happy when Alt markets start to rise and the day maybe not so far away.

I had some 4 thousand dollar bitcoins that I kept selling in batches when we were coming close to 6000 dollars. I thought this was a great point to sell and we will go back to retesting the lows before a real pump but I was wrong. I made some money but missed the real rally. I bought some back on the way up though but not enough to feel satisfied.

I buy at $ 3.7k and sell it at $ 7k, when prices are low or beariash I usually buy bitcoin in small amounts, I often do it when the value of bitcoin decreases. The value of cryptocurrency is very difficult to know, moreover there is no sure sign where the value will go, the reason why people always miss the train ? the first possibility is that they don't have the trust and analysis of crypto value management on the news
