It makes no logical sense to sell an altcoin right at the very bottom of a market cycle.  Look I know its very painful to see that altcoin you love some much cause you so much grief, and not to mention checking your altcoin account balance looks like a scene from a horror movie.  But I am here to tell you, to hold strong, keep the faith and ride this altcoin storm as we are about to hit a very sweet spot in the market cycle where altcoins will explode in value.  Almost every altcoin is extremely oversold when comparing it to previous altcoin ATH (all time highs) and not to mention when comparing it to the bitcoin rally of late.

ATTENTION: We are about to enter altcoin season right at the very bottom, there will be some explosive move coming....Please hold firm.

Much love to all altcoin holders (especially those that hold HST decision token)

Stay safe, and see you all at the very top of the next altcoin season.

Peace out :D

Depends on the situation ... sometimes the very bottom is not the true bottom. But usually that is with low volume coins with no dev activity, etc.

What I don't get about the alt market, unless it's simply an issue of price manipulation, is overall movement --

BTC goes up, Alts go down in relation to BTC. Okay, that makes sense, and ideally alts move after BTC stabilizes.

BTC goes down, Alts go down in relation to BTC. This makes a little less sense, as logically one would think Alts would retain the same BTC ratio, or perhaps increase, to maintain their previous value. But okay, let's say BTC going down leads to panic sellers with Alts, so they too sell.

Now this is the part I don't get -- BTC goes up, Alts go down... followed by BTC going down, Alts go down... BTC goes up again, Alts go down, BTC retracts a little bit, Alts go down... BTC goes back to level before retracting, and Alts go down again. Basically the last 5 or 6 BTC price movements have led to Alts decreasing, regardless of which way BTC was moving. And the end result is BTC kind of where it started with the last rise, yet Alts lost a ton of value in relation to BTC price ... for kind of no logical reason.

So either it's price manipulation or Alt holders are so frantic and on edge that they'll sell no matter what... a slight breeze and they hit the sell button.

If you buy coins with strong fundamentals, you reduce the risk of getting stuck with shit coins. If you just buy whatever is pumping, the danger is much greater. And diversifying makes it possible to balance the risk, and focus on gaining more than you loose. There will almost always be some losses, you just need to gain more...
Everyone can’t make 20% gains every day. I’m not convinced that we have hit the absolute bottom with alts, at least when talking price relative to bitcoin. But I don’t see much of a downside either. Buying in now will get you coin at a bargain price, but it can still take a while before alt season hits. So, don’t buy and expect instant takeoff.

Why selling altcoins at the bottom? Because other people are doing it. So it is better to sell after a few profits. Being too greedy and you will see your profits evaporate and become loss. And you investment will become a forced long term investment. People are currently not interested about altcoins and that's why they are leaving altcoins. Only true believers are going to stay. Until there is only true believers, altcoins will continue to fall lower or stay at their current level. People are pumping BTC with their altcoins and that's very dangerous. As one day there will be a crash as usual.

People sell their coin for different reasons. Some urgently need money to take of their family and love ones while some want the money badly to pay for hospital bills. I have recently come across someone who was begging the dev to list the coin he was holding so that he can pay for cancer treatment. The same thing applies to other assets. Why do you think people sell their valuable assets such as cars, lands and houses to pay bills. Some even mortgage their properties and will do anything to see that it is not taken away from them. So next time you see someone that want to sell coin, don't blame them because you don't know what the person is going  through.

Sometimes people sell their tokens at very because they know that there are no tomorrow for the project.
Team might left the project and investors are not hearing anything from them.
It is good to sell low and accept the lose than to have your tokens holding still with no value to be left.

Largely because of lack of patient or probably project has fall really short in terms of development, internal conflicts among the teams that could pose a threat to the success of the project, probability of scam accusations etc, these reasons can compell anyone to sell their alts at the very bottom before the project go to zero,
But in the case of a dump in price only shouldn't be enough reason to sell because as long as that project is on track with development process then price will certainly increase in due time.

It is actually a very painful thing to continue holding altcoins while there is consistent extremely decrease in price value in the market.  As a matter of fact, most altcoins price value is dumping day in day out. It is appearing as if one should sell those coins at anyhow price and forget about them, but we need not to sell cheaply so fast. We should encourage ourselves to stay focus and keep holding for better profit. It may not be easy to do that but we just have to. Some of us have been holding some altcoins as far back as late last year. Don't let us give up at this point as we are almost getting to our place of abundance interms of profit. Let us still hold for a while and watch the market booming again for better output.

People start selling alt coin because they want to invest on bitcoin. They see the price of altcoin dropping when the price of bitcoin starts to rise. Even they don't want to miss the opportunity thus they even up selling their altcoin and jumps into bitcoin investment. They know they will be making more profit when they invest on bitcoin. Thus they start selling even when the price is at the very bottom. They know that they can always buy back their altcoins at even lower price.

That's right. I totally agree that we should not sell our altcoin now that it is on the bottom. Since we really invest our time and effort on it, we have to be very wise im handling our altcoin. It is true that we don't know if this is the bottom for all altcoins but the fact that it is below the ICO price, I think we need to wait until the price will rise up. Still there is a special case which depends on the hodler's need or decision. If he want to sell it and switch to. Bitcoin then that I think is reasonable enough now that Bitcoin is rising up.

Commonly, I will not sell my coins at the very bottom price because it will sometimes only give us the lost money and get a very small price.
However, we need to analyze more about the coins, whether it is going to be shit or dead coins or not. If it is, better to sell them right away. But in normal condition, it is better to hold the coins again

What that mean not to sell and buy coin?
are you mean buy Bitcoin using altcoin?, or buy altcoin using bitcoin?
i look at altcoin are cheap than bitcoin price

There is no way you will sell your coins at the bottom.
I understand, when the market goes down (for altcoins) people will start to feel that it will going down more.. And they start panic selling their coins.
For me, we will just need to wait for a rebound on the market and sell on the high.

Just one question....If we hodl, how long do we have to wait?

Sometimes there is logical sense and Many reasons can cause this, dev team might have left, coins not listed on a liquid exchange and hodler would be in need of money or a strategy to buy low buy starting the fire by selling low.

I often noticed that the Altcoins fall and no longer rise.
I try to study the project in detail and if the project is promising then these tokens I keep

You will need a long time to do research from an altcoin that is really promising.
to avoid losses from the altcoin that I hold, I make sure when the developer will do the token listing or the exchange of crypto coins, there I will see the volume of crypto assets that I hold, within 24 hours I'm sure the price will go down, but if a dump occurs then as My investors will sell it when the price recovers, so choosing good coins is very necessary for long-term investments.

Lack of endurance is what makes people sell coins and tokens for lose ,the only reason that can make me do the same is if I noticed that the project is been abandoned and no more updates then I have no reason to keep holding such coin or token

Any situations can encourage the user to get rid of one or another altcoin.  A lot of different information appears in the network, including negative, which immediately sends the owner of altcoin to the exchange for sale.

Why do you think now is a very bottom? Alts could decrease for another few months before they recover.

However, some bad projects might not recover at all so it's better to sell now if you hold s**t coins, as they still worth something.

Since most people are too scared and think that the investment will not recover, the decision to sell them at the dip is their last choice. Everyone suffers a similar situation when altcoin they keep continuously declining

If people seeing their altcoin going down, they will panic and start to sell in fast. But if people believe with the coin, they will not sell even if the price of that coin is down and they will still hold and buy more amount. They will survive by holding the coin because they learn about the project, they know the project was good so they decide to hold. If you sell the altcoin at the very bottom, then you lose your coin and at the same time, you are losing your bitcoin value.

I sell altcoins because their value has not changed and is still below my expectations. my altcoin value continues to decline so I change it to bitcoin. some of the altcoins that I hold don't pump or have never been ATH.

Why sell coins downstairs if you can wait a little longer and sell much more expensive, I think people understand that and do not sell now

It seems to be entertaining in this saturation and I have to admit that it's currently a little sad to see a slow altcoin. I really don't have many altcoins in my wallet, but get bored when opening to see prices in trading. I hope the change of season will arrive soon, at least the price will rise by 30%. Don't sell or (HOLD)

You are only thinking on the positive outcomes but what if the coin in which you invested never recovers? Remember that about 90% of the projects are scams or projects that are never completed and disappear in less than a year, unless you are an incredible investor that can detect all kind of scams the truth is that from time to time you are going to invest in a token that is not worth anything and when that happens if you keep holding your coins there is a high chance you will never recover any of the capital that you invested in such a project.

Most people who holding Altcoin that made bottom selling are usually affected by FUD (Fear, uncertainty, and doubt), which is used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, cults, and propaganda to widespread disinformation.
They do not have enough courage to believe in their Alts, Beside, I don't see any good point in selling Altcoin at the bottom price and it's definitely a bad idea.

I think nobody wants to make a loss in investment. People at times do panic when things they expected didn't work. It applies in cryptocurrency too. Sometimes people panic and have to make sell their coins at a low price just to prevent further loss.

It has been long that I made investment in altcoins because I was waiting for this moment, I knew that this period is the time that most altcoins bleeds a lot, and they will seems like almost going to zero, but you know what? People don’t understand that this is the best time to actually opt in for those coins, especially the ones that have real use case.

The lower the value is, the chances of being able to acquire more, and the chances of being able to get bigger profit when they start to increase. Anyone that understand the market of altcoins, or has been following the market of altcoins in the past will know that this is the right time to make investment into solid project, wen altcoins season comes, these projects will multiply very high and such investor will have a record of huge profit.

How you understand thatits the bottom? There is always room to go "0"
Check ethereum it was over 1000$ and i did not sell when it was 600$ cause it was the bottom.
And now its around 300$ and i still dont want to sell cause its bottom.
But it can go below 100$ and i will think the same its the bottom. But always there is a room to go "0"

Maybe why others sell their altcoin for low price is that they needed the money for some personal reasons. But who knows what's the reason behind? Just let them sell whenever they want to sell. But for us who are hoping for ATH then let us all be patient and be prepared for it.

It depends on the holders. Because all we know the risk in having and holding any kind of crypto. It's up to you if you should take a risk or sell your coin even it is in the bottom. From the start when the time that I have some research about crypto industry,  I already accept the fact that crypto business if  for the brave investors only.

It is not all altcoins at the base will go a lot higher in incentive after some time, so once in a while you might need to sell so as to purchase coins with solid essentials, you diminish the danger of stalling out with poop coins.

Differentiating makes it conceivable to adjust the hazard, and spotlight on increasing more than you free. There will quite often be a few misfortunes, you simply need to acquire

Some users sell alto-coins at the bottom, because project managers send them to wallets when they have low prices. Each user has its own reason for selling tokens - for example, if the tokens are left on the wallet - they will depreciate at all.

Most people want to hold their altcoins and aware of their potential profits. But in a certain situation, people have no choices, the only one way is to sell their altcoin assets. I also experienced this situation, I sell the top altcoins because of having financial problems. Unfortunately, the prices were decreasing at the time.

Absolutely, in crypto the more risk-taking the greater the profits, but for people who want to take the safe path so he doesn't need to sell the coins at the lowest price, actually it's easy, just buy and hold coins that are guaranteed to be long, like XLM, LTC, Doge, Eth or btc. If what you are interested in is a newly launched coin with also a new project, then you have the possibility to sell it at the lowest price if you don't always pay attention to the market situation.

True, but the bottom is often only obvious in hindsight. At the time, when you are reaching the bottom, all you know is that the price has been falling with no sign of stability or recovery. It can be difficult in practice to identify the bottom.

Some people say: bought at the bottom - get a second bottom as a gift. The mistake of many people is that they are not insured and think that they definitely bought at the bottom

You cannot blame holders especially those who invested a lot on a project, they do not want to lose and they do not want to see their investment going down the drain, so they will sell even at a very small profit, they don't even care if the price of the token they've sold will become ten times higher.

Nobody wants to sell their altcoin right at the bottom. Because they are scared and they cannot stand the decline of this market. I have a few friends, they have held the BTC from $ 7000 but when the BTC fell to $ 3100 they sold all for fear and pain. It's sad when they are not patient enough to hold them to the present

Our enemy is a panic, and if you panic, you're very likely to lose your money in the cryptocurrency. The most important thing is to have patience

Because I want to cut my loses in shitcoins and invest in real unicorns that bring me 10x

And if this is not the bottom, there are scenarios in which the price of the Alts now will not be the worst, so people sell.

Although it is not the best selling at the bottom but if the situation at hand demand that you should sell at the bottom then you should do just that because there are some project that will eventually die and holding such coin might not be the best.

I believe there is always a reason behind why an investor would sell their altcoins at the bottom. One reason is the financial status, an investor who are really in need of money will sell right away their coins even at the dip and in the deficit situation. Secondly, being tired of waiting for the pump. The moment they are exhausted waiting endlessly when to increased, they give up holding theur coins.

me too and this can be considered the main reason why there was a lot of people are selling their altcoins even that reached the bottom price, we have another chance by investing in another promising coin like what have already done in binance and gate.io IEOs. Rather than seeing our money worth zero and it much better to cutloss and then put it to make it becomes 10x.

During this time I always hold my coins, especially coins that do not have a high value, in the sense that the coins have a very dropped price compared to their normal prices. Because I think why sell at the lowest point if it only makes me more losers. I personally don't care and it's better to make these coins as a long term investment.

Much depends on what kind of coin is in the purse, if it is bad and non-working, then as far as possible - it should be sold, and if it is a working coin, it should be kept.

Right at the very bottom? No. I wouldn't know if a coin is at "right at the very bottom" though, nobody knows what is the very bottom, that is why people sell at the very bottom. I am not even kidding, look at bitcoin for the past 3 months for example, find the lowest point it has been in the 3 months, technically speaking someone actually sold from those levels. It means yeah if a coin drops a lot and you want to get out because you believe it will go even lower than its normal to want to get out, maybe in bitcoin it doesn't make sense or litecoin/ethereum any big crypto however there are so many shitty coins these days wanting to get out is normal in many of their cases. You can't possibly know what is the very bottom which is why nobody would get out but sometimes they happen to.

Well One can't say for sure the level at which a coin is, if it is truly at the bottom, but then it isn't right to sell a coin so cheap, if you hold good coins, then don't be in a hurry to sell, it will only take a while but will rise back.

Its was not a good idea that we sell our altcoins to a bottom price. It looks like we sacrifice our altcoins to a low of price, Must better to think first before doing some moves. Maybe the altcoins we have are a future to increase the price and can make us rich in no time.

The truth remains that no one truly knows when a coin is bottomed out. If we all know this then no one will be caught in any crash. What traders do is at best a speculation of where price could go àt any given time. There are no experts in the crypto industry. What we all do is mere guess work. So, it makes logical sense whenever anyone decides to sell off to save what is left of their depleting portfolio.

As for me I am not in favour of selling off my coins at low. I am fully aware that cryptocurrency is volatile and price of coins keeps going down and up from time to time. So I have much hope that altcoins will surge in price once they fall. I also believe in some altcoins namely ethereum, binance coin, ripple, EOS, miracle tele and sessia, which will surely increase in price in the coming days.

I do rather hold the coin or token than to sell in such bottom. Like the writer said, it makes no logical sense selling in such low price.  See dumpers especially hunters who sell token for $2 - 5$ and I allay try to understand why they make such decisions

they sell because they believe the price will drop more. The problem is that normally this people have absolutely no clue of where are the red lines and the resistances. For example, a friend of mine told me he was going to sell ETH at 240$ after masive drops of over 30% in last month. I told him not to do it because i was almost sure the resistance of 225$ was strong enough.

At this very moment, the resistance is holding, but i do not know for sure if it will continue to hold it. I see a brutal preassure from bears to crash the market , buy cheap and get profit.

In current conditions , its possible to see ETH another time at 300$. But if you crash the market to 150$ and then buy you can get 100% profit. that's why they do that. They always crash the value lower then what they consider it to be "reasonable".

As much as it seems good to make do with altcoins, there are certain one that are entirely shit coins. I have some TRDT on Idex which I am still holding in there. This coin has no volume, but all if a sudden I discovered it traded for few hours. After checking and with all attempts to trade mine, it was futile. That then made me to discover it was pumped by some set of people. This is a typical example of what we need to be careful of.

If the altcoin I have always decreases every day, of course I will sell it and buy again if the price continues to fall. Maybe with that I can get more coin / tokens. That's the kind of strategy that I use if my favorite altcoin has decreased.

I think we need to wait  I don't think we need to panic and sell our altcoins at cheap prices. The project needs time to develop and I think the altseason will be coming soon

People would sell, rather than keeping it in your wallet who has a tendency to die and it will be completely zero value in the future. It's better to recover less amount than nothing.

it doesn't make sense to sell losses but because of the situation, I think that's the reason why someone sells coins at the lowest price. because they think if they survive with coins that don't have price developments, they certainly won't make a profit, so they make other decisions by selling and then buying other coins that are suitable for investment.

Despite what altcoins you hold at the moment , there are many coins which are very poorly looked on the market and better opportunities when they usavisa and go to the fundamental coins!

Actually I do not plan to sell or buy altcoins at the moment. I am a holder since 2018)

I too believe the time for alts would come but not as in the way as the last bull run. Alts bull run this time would be selective. There are many dead and dormant coins which would not get any price even if there's a bull. The coming bull would be selective. And only the hodlers of good tokens would benefit.

Anyway, everyone understands that now is the time when you need to get rid of all the coins that cause distrust.  I am sure that not all altcoins will be needed by someone in the cryptocurrency market, but you need to more carefully review your portfolio.

I wonder why people will hold coins for long and sell when the price dipped massively.  What's the essence of holding for long term if you've got no patience? Holding requires patience although if not for long term, always know when to sell.  I can only dump coins cheap when I've lost interest in the project, that's when there is no development update.

Evening there ladies and gentlemen. And what is your attitude towards mining? Cause in my opinion, industry in rather interesting. And I am now considering buying a miner from globemining com. Anyone here has an expereince woeking with the guys?

Evening sir. Well, yeah, they are pretty popular these days. First time you are buying the miner?

Yep, the first one. And I was told that the guys are having wide range of devices

This is absolutely true. And have you already chosen the one for yourself?

To tell truth, choosing between Antiminer S17 and Z11. Both look pretty bold

This is true. Well, I have tried both and both show great performance

Great to hear. And I live our of the US, are you aware whether there are some restrictions for delivery etc?

Nope, absolutely not. The guys are shipping worldwide

Perfect, thank you very much for recommendation! Will share my experience afterwards

A strong hodlers must have good coins to hold, you are really cofident about your coin which is good. Do buy top altcoins at the bottom price it can lessen your losses and you fan have chance to make profit if its a good coin. Don’t sell atlcoins at a big loss, it can hurt you that much.

You cannot blame these people, it also happens to me one time people are selling for many reasons like they saw that the project had no development at all and it's not gaining support from investors and the community, and investors see new good project with a much better potential in the market, and he needs to trade the coin for another coin.

If there's no development on the altcoins that i have then there's no point in holding it, sometimes we need to sell off even at losses because it's better to get something than nothing. However i also believe altcoin season will commence but not this year maybe in 2020.

This is a serious matter, which market is still fluctuating in the global market, take a look of Alt-coin prize for pass three weeks ago, the market was full of green and many holder was happy, Therefore the current prize situation is not courage to sell, but rather to invest towards the cryptocurrency.

I personally have never sold an altcoin that I had when I experienced the lowest decline. I still hold the altcoin for months. because I believe and believe that the altcoin that I have will grow and the price increase in the market will increase significantly. if you don't have confidence in the altcoin itself, it will only waste the assets you have.

That all depends to the holders. Because we all know the risk in having and holding any kind of alts. And it is  up to you if you should take a risk or sell your coin even it is in the bottom. From the start when the time that I have some research about crypto industry, I already know that truth that cryto business has  a lot of risk and on the brave will accept the risk that may come up to them.

Why would you not sell it if it is on the bottom, the worst thing that could possibly happen to you is selling your coin at the bottom because that means you have lost your investment on that coin, investors should watch out and sell your coins before it hit the bottom.

other than that, maybe because there is an urgent need because it requires money quickly so they decide to sell the altcoins they have when the market price drops. I am sure that most people will not sell it as soon as possible if he does not need money

It's a moving market and we have to be very observant and our portfolio, we need to check from time to time if all the coins we are holding are all still worth holding or not, we need to liquidate coins that will have no value and replace it with a new and developing coins.

There are many people in the past that were optimistic during the bull run of 2017 and was able to buy alts when they are mostly at their all time high. But most of them panicked when the bear of january 2018 started crashing down on the altcoins so many of them just sold their alts for a very small loss on their part. I would say never ever do that. Hold on to your coins and engage in that coins community so that there would be good assurances that the coin will stand the test of time.

I think no body want to sell their coin in bottom price.
It is happened because that altcoin is shitcoin, so they think just sell and cutloss it is OK.
Shitcoin is never get hope to grow.

shitcoin give us nothing ,it just make us frustration.while we in this condition we will sell everything not only shitcoin coin  but also potential coins that its price still in bottom.we have to decision quickly if we see bad sign in our assets.

If you are in bad need and you are left with no other resources but your altcoins, you might be selling them even with a loss for lack of choice. Or perhaps if you are in an emergency situation and there is no one you can borrow money from, you might also be forced to sell your precious altcoins even if their prices are at the bottom. But you will certainly exhaust all means before resorting to this decision. 

You are right. I have been in such difficult times, so I have been forced to cut losses and sell most of the altcoins at low prices to make ends meet. If there are other options, of course, I would prefer to hold the altcoin.
In other cases, for example, a token from a bounty, I choose to hold it for a while analyzing the market, if possible then I will wait until the price goes up, at least until it approaches the price of ico or ieo.

If you are holding a token with potentials, then it is wrong to sell at the bottom, also I think people sell off because they get emotional for fear of more dip. Also when they feel a token has no worth or use case they dump at any price.

ditch that mindset, buy high and sell low , that isnt healthy  ???

Everyone has their own reason why they sell coins or tokens on its lowest price. I know it looks foolish or unreasonable to us but we need to take considerations of these people. But if it will really affect us then we need to educate them so that they will have guidance on making such decisions.

To those who hodl their tokens and waiting for the altcoin season, just hope for the best. We really don't know what happnes next.

Now of course not the time to sell their Altcoins, because in the coming months they can grow several times! Although some will not grow ever. you need to analyze everything in great detail!

I do not understand those who sell their Altcoins when they are at the bottom. What is the point? They work in the bounty companies whole month and then they sell their tokens for $ 10 but in fact their cost is $ 1000. This is done by either silly people or schoolchildren.

A significant part of cryptocurrency users who work on bitcointalk, refer to cryptocurrency as the main source of income.  On this basis, we can assume the real reasons for the sale.  Although some coin owners, who have not yet shown their potential, are trying to redirect their funds to more profitable coins.

Personally i don’t prefer to sell any altcoin at the bottom. Panic is the most common reason for those people who is selling at the low price. But still i think the rest of people must have their own reasons to sell it from the worse price, like urgent needs etc..

When an altcoin is at the bottom; an investor is at a crossroad
Because there are 2 following situations

1. It’s either the projects get delisted and dies off
2. Or it survives the dump

Most projects do not survive; which is why selling off is considered by most trader

And from the looks of it, the HST token that the OP is talking about, more than likely, situation # 1 is coming for this coin. I'm not a follower of this token but just looking at the charts,  it has a steady decline of price. So I don't know, if it will increase its price miraculously. Those who survive the dump are those with solid foundation with real application in the market. And the team is still visible in their respective developments. So is HST in continuous development?

Usually, people sell violas because of impatience, someone just took it two months ago and sold everything, and someone waited for today and got some kind of profit, everything is arranged, the one who is stronger and more patient, wins.

Every investor may have their own personal reasons for selling a coin. And for an investor to sell a coin at the bottom may either mean that the investor has lost hope in that coin and is selling to cut losses or the investor does not have adequate information about the capabilities of that particular coin. Although not all cryptocurrencies are capable of becoming successful, hence it is up to the investor to research and come up with good reasons to either hold or sell irrespective of how low the coin may have dropped.

The most reason why we sell that coin is that we cannot wait for more and we want the money for urgent situations. I already have this experience in the past, and that makes me sell some amount of coin to get the money, and I can withdraw my btc to fiat. But if that is because of we panic to see the price, then I think that it's not a wise decision because the coin price can increase in anytime and we can miss the chance to sell back the coin at a high price.

Some dont know how to read chart and if alts is going more down without reading a chart or know where it could stop warrant a sell to prevent the loss and in short time it bounce back up for more profit which also create fomo for most trader and end up losing every thing so patient is key and holding for long will be a better option if you dont know when or how to read a chart.

I advice to always invest in big project that will not be seen out of market anytime soon .

You are right. Everyone must have their own reasons why they choose to sell their altcoins at unfavourable prices. Suppose there is a sudden need, or avoid a deeper price decline. Analysis and mentality are very necessary to determine the choice of selling or holding, everything is at risk, so never invest more than you can afford to lose.

This comes as a result of many factors, personally I sold of some alts due to emotions but in reality when you realised that the project is dead you just have to sell off and move on, a typical example is STQ, very promising than I ever taugh but currently as dead as a dead stone, will you continue to hold, I betyou, a no is the answer

From what I have seen during the last three years, in case the exchange rate for an altcoin goes down by 80% or more, then the chances are that it will never recover and within the next two-three months the trading will cease and the coin will die out. So even if the coin is down by quite a bit, it is always better to book the losses and make the exit.

Did anyone checked the post history of the OP?

He registered to this forum around one month back, and since then he has created 29 different threads (in different sub-forums) to spam about a little known shitcoin (HST Token). I am surprised that none of the moderators have noticed his spamming until now. And even surprisingly, many of his threads have received hundreds of replies.

Yes, you're right it makes no sense of selling altcoins in the bottom. Those who have knowledge about the crypto world then they will never do that, I think they sell their altcoins in panic. Now it is the time of IEO's not ICO'S where lots of scam projects are launched. Recently many trustable IEO'S have launched like Moozicore, Bitpanda, swace etc https://tokensale.moozicore.com/

to be honest i mostly do not sell. but there is a fact that it is impossible to understand if it is really very bottom or not. maybe it will keep going down. who knows. altcoins keep going down for 1.5 years.

Whether a certain price of altcoin is its bottom or not no one can know. Everyone needs money and therefore people sell altcoins even if they are dissatisfied with the current price.

did i hear the question right ? sell at the verry bottom  ? hmm strange  . there will be less people that will be doing that because selling at lows is not benficial unless you badly need the money  . 

majority of user will only sell at the verry highest peak and then they'l be buying at the lowest price point  . in  my case i will only sell at the verry bottom if ever i receive a sh*tcoin from an airdrop or on a bounty and if i observed that its value is going down  .

The leader I love leaves the project.  :-X

I do not see that altcoins are close to the bottom. Maybe if you look at USD graphs, but not sure at BTC price graphs.
People see undervalued altcoins but it doesn´t mean that there will be no further dumps.  :)

I am someone who benefited from investing in altcoins during my initial days here (2012-13). Investing in Litecoin back then gave me 12x profits in less than one year. But a couple of years later, I realized that Litecoin no longer had any future potential and I converted whatever remained of my initial stash, to BTC. Around that time, the Ethereum ICO happened and I skipped that one. And those who invested in it got as much as 200x returns in two years. The same happened with the ADA listing as well. So I would say that if you are investing in the right altcoin, there is still a chance of getting very good returns. But for me, I am more interested in securing whatever I have managed to earn during the last 6-7 years. I would rather stick to BTC.

it makes sense to sell altcoins at the bottom of the price. I personally if I have a coin that does not have a price change, of course I will exchange with other coins. investing doesn't just focus on just one coin, so if you want to get big money, you need to invest with lots of coins that experience price developments. do a new strategy

I have no plans to sell coins at the lowest price. The sale of cryptos certainly must consider the after-effects, both for ourselves and the general effects on the market. Selling coins at the bottom price will certainly be very influential, as well as large losses to the rampant dumped coins due to the sale. It would be better if we start wiser in seeing and considering the crypto market. So, we will not be easily tempted to sell at the lowest price.

we have to thinking why this condition happen to us.it should be big mistakes for us if we still hold our asset till price go to bottom.we need to learn again about trend reversal so in future we could improve our mistakes and do the best to our trading result.

sometimes cutlost or sell at bottom price isn't bad way, with that we can rebuy at another bottom price or we can change the alt coin. not all coin can comeback after going down. that why choose another better option isn't bad at all

Why would someone do that? People are here in the crypto market for profits and not for loss. Selling ones coins at the lowest price happens due to panic only. There is something called panic sell and that is triggered only when you think the market is going to crash more upon a little loss in the value. This happened back in 2018 and people lost huge value. Those who understand the market cycle would stay in the game.

of course the reason most people sell their atlcoin when at a low price is because they are afraid that the price of the coin will fall deeper, so they choose to sell it immediately to cut losses

No, it doesn't. The reason people do sell at the bottom is because they don't know it's the bottom. This sort of thing is very easy to identify with hindsight, but at the time, as the markets have been falling month after month, it is quite understandable that some people have just had enough and want to sell to at least recoup a proportion of their outlay. It may not be a good decision, but it is understandable.

Because they are afraid of altcoin future, they rather buy Bitcoin that survived 10 years. Still the first one in market cap, the most decentralized and the safest blockchain what we have ever had.

I wonder why people will hold coins for long and sell at massive dip even when the project still keeps updates coming. I only sell off my long term holdings when the project looks extinct or when team members are not serious  with project development.

Well. I don't think anybody would intentionally sell off his or her coins at the very bottom. But come to think of this, here is a coin without any significant activities and development from team, whereby coin price continues to decrease every blessed day. I think dumping such a coin at any available price is worth it. At least, to cut down lost.

Selling the altcoin at very bottom is very painful but i don't sell my altcoins at lowest as i believe in crypto market that it will rise and so as the altcoins. Anyways you will get nothing so it's better to hold the altcoins.

it's all because of panic and fear, and also because don't have a good basic analysis, just sell and buy based on feeling.
and btw, some people sell their altcoin in the bottom  because they need money or they want to move to another coin.

At the bottom, altcoins are sold only by bountists who want to get profit faster,or by people who are afraid to lose all their money and return at least something,but I've never done that.

Maybe they are more interested in bitcoin so they sell it to switch to bitcoin that show different movements different altcoins tend to move slowly and bitcoin is fast so they think investing in bitcoin promises more profit

It is better to wait for a while and sell your coins at a higher price, if vital, then you need to sell the coins at any price

there are also those who feel enough even though the benefits obtained are still small. and that is actually good, because they have their own plan. want to sell or not is up to you. those who are patient and not greedy, surely get good benefits for themselves.

Back then, I've been too easy to make money from this market, but I did not cash out, still let it on exchanges
Bought some alts, and leave it cause I have too much things to daily, when it down, I told myself that just wait
A little bit, it will rise again, and when I back, it's all low time :((
Sold it cause I don't think anything like that would ever rise again

I believe people have good reasons to sell altcoins at the very button cause no one would want to sell in loss except if there is a need for it. Sometimes we have to sell off to avoid more dump cause of no development from the project team.

the requirements in his life will not been known by anyone if he needs to sell everything for doing something for his future then it will be a good things so my opinion is if the situation demands you can do it if you unnecessarily doing it it will be bad for you

The hardest task here is to define whether the altcoin project is dying or just waiting for the bull market or new releases. There are some coins that will never grow up again - it's better to sell them now :)

I agree, one reason why we sell altcoins at cheap prices is because there are no good developments from the altcoins we hold. If the developer team is not active in communicating about the development of the project, I think it is very rational when people sell it at cheap prices to avoid greater losses

I stand with you on this, thanks so much for sharing. I guess the reason why several people go ahead with making that kind of sales is because they are afraid of what the market situation will be later; maybe they may run into losses later on. But it's always good to have faith that market situations will be better so, there shouldn't be any reason to panic. Stay calm and breathe

I think some people sells right away their tokens even on a low cost value in the market its because they think that it is way better than holding it for a long time and then in the long run they would just end up earning no profits. Or it is better to sell right away for a lesser loss, rather than greater loss in the long run.

Yes, Exactly what I'm doing. I'm swapping some of the alts that I think would never comeback with the ones that might actually pull x5+, I'll only breakeven though but that's fine to me. I'm not selling anything at current price, It's either moon or slow death of my portfolio.

I believe that no investor would put money into altcoins to with the intention of losing it, it is the condition in the crypto currency market that is making a lot of them making some drastic decision to sell off some of their altcoins. What you said here is true of some coins, that is coins that you can trust of their development, but there are some coins that you cannot fully place your hope on.

No matter how long you hold those shitcoins, nothing good can ever come out of them, because they keep becoming dead on a daily basis, would you not prefer to still sell the little you can sell of them to use and buy bitcoin, for the miracle bitcoin and some other altcoins can do in multiplying them? Altcoins season is coming so fast and I agree with you, but would not affect all the altcoins that you see in the market. I think some are just dead already.

I personally will not sell the coin if it is at a very low price, but I must really believe first, if the coin I have will rise again. most investors suffer losses because they are impatient to wait and begin to fear that the coins they have will not rise again

Well you dont know if the price is at the bottom and it will raise again, that is the most holders want to do but they are always fail because most of the time when they hold due to the price is at the bottom the coin they are holding has no chance to gain momentum again.

It is imposssible to conclude when altcoins will rise, but I agree that it is not the time to sell altcoins that nearly hit their bottoms. It is not time to be panic and sell at whatever price just to get Bitcoin or USDT back. It's time to determinantly hold all your good altcoins, and wait till their bull runs to sell at as most beneficial prices as possible.

You only see the bottom when it has formed a chart. At the time of sale, how can you know it's the bottom. Do not ask such silly questions.
It is not that they want to sell at the bottom, but it is possible that they are using the DCA method to buy more coins at a cheaper price, but can calculate it wrongly, or due to the strong volatility of the market.
crypto is a psychological game, belief is good, but sometimes stubbornness is suffering.

You can’t blame people that sell at the bottom; sometimes the inevitable cannot be avoided
If you know tokens such as Wednesday coin, toto coin and even mtv amongst others

No more value; and investors would wonder till today why they didn’t stop loss and catch their capital

It depends on individuals

Selling your altcoins at the very bottom is a very bad idea and it will make you lose in two different ways

1) You will not get the best price for the altcoin because of the reduced value, which means you are only getting a penny of the money you invested

2) You will miss out on future price increases, which could be very frustrating to remember

It's sometimes a wise decision to sell altcoin at the very bottom. I once held an altcoin worth $1,500 and when it fell to $500, I didn't sell, but when it hit $200, I sold off and it went to $30, before starting to climb. I quickly invested in other profitable coins and I made some profit not up to the loss but was somewhat happy. If an altcoin keeps breaking heart, I will sell off and move on.

If he has waited for so long, and you have witnessed several decrease, why then choose to sell at bottomed, when he could have just waited a little bit more for the value to pick up again so that he can get his investment back at least, even if he does not want the investment to continue further, I don’t see any sense in selling at bottom, except it is a coin that the investor is so sure is already heading towards crash and complete dump land.

For every coin, there will always be bottom, and those who buy at bottom would be the one to enjoy most, If I were such investors, I would not get tired but rather buy back at that bottom and make more when the price starts increasing back, except maybe he doesn’t have money again, or in need of money like you rightly said.

most of the holders sell at low prices for several reasons, such as coins that are difficult to develop better for sale even though they are cheap or replaced with other altcoins that are more feasible for investment. if you only depend on altcoins that are difficult to develop, you will definitely lose later. so make a change before you regret and make sure you replace it with an altcoin that has great potential for investment.

Altcoins have all stood stably at their bottom ranges, for sure. I have no doubt about that, so it is not perfect decision to sell altcoins during those days. Bitcoin has been on its way to move downwards and I have a feeling that altcoins will move upwards in BTC pairs in coming days. Just waiting to see them rising considerably and enjoy their rides, rather than selling them now or in coming days.

Much depends on the coin itself, if it is no longer needed, it should be sold sooner, and if the coin is promising, it is better not to sell, and wait for growth

Many reasons can make an investor want to sell off their coins at the bottom. Maybe desperate need for cash or a lack of belief in the project. As for me, there is a certain dip level that will make me leave my alt and not bother selling anymore because by then its already worthless. In situations like this, I just act as if it was a bad investment and forget it. If it pumps later, all good. If the project exit scams or closes shop, so be it.

Can't say for others but form my own experience. There was one time I need to pay the rent.
So I have to sort out all of my altcoins I hold and find a coin that has the least chance to have a good price at later.
Even though it was at the bottom price point when I selling but I have to do it.

For various reasons, investors can  sell altcoin. There may be an urgent need for funds or despair due to the fact that the market behaves unpredictably.

There are many reasons to sell an altcoin right at the very bottom. most of the altcoins loss their price very fastly and it is very difficult to predict the low price. After losing the price, the trade volume becomes very low. On the panic sell, people lost their patience and sell their altcoins right at the very bottom.

Not all altcoins are falling because many have good prospects in the future with strong fundamentals, now the price may still be cheap but in the future it can turn into an expensive coin.
This is actually an opportunity to get big profits with capital that is smaller than the bitcoin investment which now has thousands of US dollars in price. But be careful to pay attention to coins whose prices have long been stagnant,  the coins can die slowly because they have no buyers.

From now on, altcoins will increase gradually, till the end of this month, or till the end of the first two weeks of next month (August). From that, I believe that altcoins will officially start their bull run, the second bull run for altcoins in 2019. Altcoins have nearly come to their endings of bearish period. If you noticed, their volume all increased considerably recent weeks.

you should sell your altcoins when the price rises because this is the right time to sell because you earn a great deal on it.

It depends on the person's investment principles, financial state and belief in the alt being held. Some alt holders have no investment plan/discipline, one can't really blame them, personally I bought a shit token and held it to zero when the market was in the last weeks of the bull run(trident), so for many they just can't bear it and had to cut their losses. Others however may be overly invested in the markets and need fiat for some payments or whatever, or it could be that they no longer believe in the project due to poor communication, development or whatever.

only people who don't understand crypto sell at the bottom. it happens because of the panic they get and only the loss, try to understand crypto and try not to sell at the bottom

A simple reason; to avoid total lost

At an average of 98%; any project that reaches the very bottom eventually gets delisted and without no buyers or value

Still; you need to dyor before selling at the bottom

I don't think anyone would sell his or her coin at the bottom unless they haven't really done research before investing in it, and at such situation they might sell. Incases where you did a thorough research ,even with dip, you wouldn't want to sell because it is a coin with  potential and will move up anytime soon. 

The majority of the altcoins that are sold at the very value base are the ones seen as unequipped for recuperating. At times it turns out to be evident that a project or coin is dead subsequent to playing out a progression of examines on that coin which uncovers that the project is relinquished by the group.

In reality, altcoins have all moved up, but they at least have still stood at their bottom range. It means that there are still opportunities for you all to take them back. Even if you sold your altcoins more than three days ago at lower prices than their prices today, you can determinantly buy them back because they will jump into altcoin season, a long period of bull run to come.

Well, if a person is trading an intraday transaction, then he may try to catch the altcoins below, since when fixing Bitcoin there will be a short-term approach down the altcoins

They won't bother about the market but their main is to make money but at last, they will sell their coins for loos. So we should always wait for the recovery otherwise, we will end in loos always. Without patience, it is impossible for us, to make good through cryptocurrency trading.

Most of the Coin projects are paying their devs and teams in the coins they develop but taking into account that they must gave them amount of coins in relations to ETH or BTC price you can make conclusion that situation like that will always make flood on the market especially with low priced coins where they must give enormous quantity, that puts regular customers (miners or average Joe exchange investor) in awkward position where their investment starts bleeding money fast and you are left with whole bunch of worthless coins for the moment.

If that same project doesn't have real purpose you can expect that after some time when adrenaline goes lower so are the bulls.
So that's second drop that makes Coins double dropped, that is usually the time after most coins goes to limbo and never recover from the basement price.

Most of people don't have some spare money so I think they can't avoid to sell some of their altcoins at the bottom due to their financial needs. I myself somehow sell not on a bullish market when I need something so buy ie. Smartphone, Uniforms, and etc. It's an awful to spend altcoins at the bottom but still we can buy more when we get extra money.

the reason why I sell altcoins is right at the lowest price because I feel that altcoin is difficult to develop, so an effective way to grow altcoins is by selling them and buying back altcoins that are worthy or have great potential for investment.

To buy another coin which is relatively cheaper and better. You can always sell and buy but you have to know how to move your position.
Or you can also sell to buy a coin which has better technical analysis.

To do this, the best and simpliest way to do is:
Waiting for waves of dumps when altcoins fall to nearly 20 percent or lower; then you can step in with nearly zero risks. Doing this also help you to maximize your marginal profits, and reduce waiting time to take profits too.

Well, after a long time of decline, prices will definitely rise again but here, everything is simply a recovery and you should know that recovery only reaches a certain level, then, the price altcoin still continues to fall deeper and never return to your desired level. And if someone sells their altcoin at the bottom, that means they have realized the story I told, they already know that their investment was damaged, and their quick decision will reduce the greater losses, take advantage of new opportunities

It is recovery for investors whom bought at peaks, at all time highs, and did not take loss, kept holding till altcoins found their bottoms. For them, the coming rises are recoveries, exactly. However, for investors whom bought at price very near to bottom range, they will get profits, and coming rises are growths for them, not recoveries or rallies.

We sell our coins at the bottom, especially when there is bad news related to the teams that overshadow the coins such as irresponsible developers or because of other problems. Sticking to it will certainly be in vain. But for coins that are still developing well, it's worth holding on because the opportunity for such coins to increase is still there.

In this action may result of many factors, personally I sold of some alts due to emotions but in reality when you realised that the project is dead you just have to sell off and move on, a typical example is STQ, very promising than I ever taught but currently as dead as a dead stone, No one will continue to hold regarding with it.

The excessive bonuses that were used to be given out was the main reason for dumping activities in the cryptocurrency world. Inadequate monitoring of bounty and airdrop campaigns also have major contributionfo dumping. There's no price not good for anything free.

Because people are very likely to panic when they see red stats on coinmarketcap. They would rather take a loss and save at least some money, rather than to wait for the better market conditions. I do not understand such a behaviour, but it happens every day.

Altcoin panic on the cryptocurrency market for a long time. I think that many who have played these coins before will be in a better situation.

Many altcoin may not rise in price, and so most cryptocurrency users are reviewing what is in their portfolios.  I am sure that they sell at any price those coins that, in their opinion, have no prospects, but buy something that can bring good profit in the future.

because people have lost a lot of money and want to slow it down somehow. which, of course, causes them to panic.

This is quite positive, thanks for the message. However, that is not always the case; it's usually harder for most altcoins to get back on their feets. It requires dedication to continue to hodl them, and such emotional attachments are not encouraged.

Because people are afraid of losing their money. If you have invested 1000 dollar into any project and few days later you mention that your investment turned into 700 dollar, 90 percent of people will cash out and make a loss instead of waiting for the next wave.

considering the altcoin market situation is declining of course I will not sell at low prices it is very risky. I use this opportunity to collect several altcoin bags and also add investment with bitcoin. but I'm more focused on bitcoin, because the price of bitcoin is currently experiencing a good increase.

The price of altcoins is heavily connected to the top cryptocurrencies and buying small altcoins will provide us a opportunity for collecting more affordable altcoins in market. Recent market indicators suggest to buy more and decrease the cost of getting stopped. The risks are growing day by day along with the requirements for holding balance around the initial investment amount which substantially tends to go down due current bear trend.

It’s mostly the new traders that panic when they see the graph moving down a single digit, or people who invest in any coin that are pumping at the moment without giving it a second thought. They end up selling in the lower end, otherwise, with a good Alt coin, you just need to be patient and calm.

It depends on the coin as well and how bottom are we talking. Like, if you are holding shitcoins or some coins similar to that, and you realise that these coins are shit and are losing their value very rapidly, then it’s better to sell them at the bottom rather than stalking them up until they are completely dead and are left in your wallet for eternity. But if you are holding some well-known coin, that you have faith in, then it’s better not to sell them at the bottom as they the potential of getting a bump in their price, and having an increase in them, so it’s better to be patient with them.

I sell my alt with a calculation, I always sell alt who may not have hope to experience price development. I do this to avoid greater losses, and this is very logical.

Selling a altcoin right at the very bottom is very irrational because you have already lost the value. You will lose money presently and also miss out on the future gains from price increase.
The only reason that makes sense is if it is an emergency or you are selling to flip to a better coin with better chances of success.

Jus t because someone is spreading this negative speculation that there wont be Alts some years to come. Even if so why do you sell at this moment. It would be better to wait than selling for these pennies.

I don't see any issue if you want to sell your tokens when it hit the bottom, coins/tokens are hitting the bottom for two reasons, one of this, is because of the market condition, all the coins are falling, and the second one is lost of trust, investors lost their trust in the coins that they are now dumping even if the market condition is good.

Remember the same AION, when in the beginning the price fell sharply and many sold it. Everyone said that it will still grow and sold it for nothing. Turns out that wasn't the bottom yet. At the bottom of this coin is right now.

Sometimes it becomes a very difficult decision to make when a coin in possession begins to drop in price yet the holder believes the coin has all the needed factors to rise again. In such situations, pressing the withdrawal button to cut losses is very challenging. Holders or investors in such circumstances end up selling at the very bottom.

Because i have urgent matter regarding about my money. If peoples need money no matter what, they will sell anything they have.
No body wants to sell with loss, but if the loss can be covered by future profit, it is ok. For example i find a good coin to invest but i don't
have enough money, i will sell some of my coins at loss.

Now the prices are already so low on Altcoins that it makes no sense to sell coins at all. I think you need to start buying them on the contrary. Good chances for big profits.

I think I get your point, there are some coins that if we bottom, we will not be regretting because those projects eventually die without raising back again, but when it comes to great projects, it is not worth selling a t bottom because those projects usually grow by 1000x when they rise. So instead of selling projects that we know has a bright future or real working case and active team at bottom, the best thing to have done at that period is to buy more.

I know that there has been question of why a project with real use case will even bottom, but we all know how the market operates, they usually being affected by bears at some points which is beyond their control, so the fact they bottom does not say that they are dying for us to sell, but buy back again.

So many reasons why one might want to dump their altcoins at dip. It might be that they finally decided to quit cryptocurrency altogether or money is desperately needed because of an emergency. So can't blame anyone for how they handle their investments

no one wants to lose money or sell at a low price unless the situation is urgent. I think everyone has their own way of investing, if I personally have BTC coins and altcoin bags like Eth and BNB. and I believe in the portfolio that I have and will not sell at a loss, even if the market situation is weak or the price has not risen significantly.

And till date altcoin season is still no where to be found,the only thing that can make me to sell a altcoin at the very bottom is if i heard news about the project turn to scam or the teams are about to abandon the project,to cut short my loss i have to dump such altcoin if not i don't have any reason to sell

i think, we cannot force everyone to keep holding their coins. Everyone's needs and situations are very different. it's likely they are in dire need of money and have no choice but to sell it even though he knows the price is not very good.

indeed your advice is correct, i like that. i am also currently waiting for the price of altcoin to reach ATH again. i'm still sure that will happen sooner or later.

Now not all people sell coins at such low prices, you need to understand that there are traders in the market who buy and sell at such low prices

There is speculation in the market, of course, and we think that this is the number of people that Altcoins are selling now. I think the situation will change soon.

Many people do not believe in another altcoin season. They are in a panic mode and they want to get atleast something from their investment. Typical behavior of uneducated investors.  ;)

But there aren't many such people, because there is no panic now, all panicking people have long ago sold and left the cryptocurrency, there are still the strongest people

I wish it has time the way you highlighters here ! However people  that sold their altcoins at the toke of this post would Be happy by now! Alt season that will come is not the usual one , so holding on to some  token  won’t make  make sense ! The bottom today’s is the top tomorrow! Which means there’s Is more dip than rise !

Some coins that fall low are not able to rise up again. And at that point, its better you make a small amount of money than make nothing at all. Half a loaf is better than none. At times most people think holding is a good idea till the coin hits the bottom.

Even educated investors don't want to accept the straight facts because of the unknown market situation in the crypto market. They risk their money for gaining more BTC but the situation forces them to sell as soon as possible while it is not too late for selling to the market price.

The uneducated traders never make the right things correctly, they make a costly mistakes. The depth of the market show us some signs but only exprienced, educated traders are able to see these signs. The next altcoin season will be in the 2 or 3 years but only the traders who prepared for this alt season will be winners.

I sold my altcoins because I held them for too long and they did not grow in value, but only fell. I lost faith in their growth, so I sold everything and bought bitcoin.

In this case, you invested all in the single coin. The biggest mistake of any trader who just FOMOed and rush to buy the single coin with all holdings. After the bear market, these traders enjoy their smart decision but it can take a few years. If you hold your altcoin for years and never take a loss from the market due to your greediness, every lost penny deserves to be excluded from your trading account.

 Putting all eggs to the one basket is risky selection, the old wise investors advise not to try the depth of the water with both feet. Diversifying the altcoin portfolio never becomes risky if the investors have chosen the right altcoins from a future perspective. The forum is full of the crying posts which written by the traders made the same mistakes. This idea never crossed my mind after losing 75% of my trading account in the single trade 6 years ago.

This is not the time to sell altcoins at ridiculous price just because the market is down generally. It is quite painful to see that most of the altcoins prices have really gone down below expectation but that is not the reason to now start selling at at the very bottom price in the market. Though, majority of investors are not finding it good and encouraging this season because of general dump in the market. We must believe that the market will pick up again soonest. The bull run we are expecting will soon emerge. All we need is it to be hopeful and be more patient.

 

I sell off at the bottom, ones I discover the team involve in the development of the project lack integrity and  do follow up on the project road map,  there are project mainly develop by scammers, individual that use ICO fund for personal use, such project cannot survive during the bull run season.

From your question, Why do we sell altcoins at the bottom? Market conditions that make us sell too fast. When we look at the price situation which continues to decline, of course, fear arises. Then I decided to sell the coin at a cheap price.

As a bounty hunter, I saw some projects before giving away free tokens. But the price of tokens on the exchange has dropped because many investors are throwing tokens. So we are forced to also sell at a cheap price, let alone we do not see that Token price sign will return to the top.

yes i will sell my hold when its price goes up and until its price goes up i will keep it in my wallet until its price goes up before selling it so that i can earn more.

a worst thing will indeed happen,if for me it was all just a wheel trip, altitude is currently below the standard and I will only save it until it is at its highest point again.

Sometimes it is very difficult to reach a conclusion on whether to sell or hodl for the true potentials of the coin to reach. Some coins can bounce back once they experience dip whereas others will not. In view of this, the holder or investor must know the capabilities of the coin through the studying of the team and its expertise level. With this, there will be a reduced level of selling at the bottom price.

Well its better to expect for the worst so whatever happens you are prepared.

I believe in the altcoins that I have in my portfolio that it will bounce back and reach their ath again but I dont have high hopes.

Lets just hold and refrain from selling with low price.

Even if someone sells Altcoins at low prices today. Other investors should not worry, because coin prices will surely recover to a high level.

Many people sell their altcoins at dip when they give up holding, especially when they've been holding for long and hoping price bounces back but to no avail. Also, if there is a very strong FUD, people sell at any price most times or in cases of exit scam or major exchange delisting. Some just get emotional and dump very low even when the project is doing well with development. Patience is required when holding a good coin, but dumping when there is zero development updates or when it's obvious the team has given up on the project is not bad at all.

I think they waited too long and were disappointed for that altcoin. And they made the wrong decision. Selling altcoin on the bottom is a complete failure when investing in this market

It could be that he is indeed a long-time holder but there is no change in terms of price, and took the decision to sell it, and actually there are still other reasons such as doubts about the potential of altcoin due to a large fall and fear that it will still fall back

The psychology of investors is very easy to manipulate and that is why whales in this market can control very effectively and always make investors have great losses in this market. I think patience is not the reason to make a profit because this year almost every coin has a big drop and the longer you hold it, the lower your profit will be so don't hope so don't expect too much of this market this year. The best advice is to stay calm and make sure your assets avoid the most losses because opportunities still await you in 2020.

I agree that sometimes being patient with our coins is not a solution unless we are investing for a long period of at least 1 or 2 years. If we invest in projects that already have products and have partnerships with various large companies, I think we can be more calm but if we hold coins with small transaction volume, I think it's better to sell to reduce losses

It is possible that the altcoin is no longer capable of growing and when it is reduced to almost a loss, then sell it to invest in new altcoins with more development potential, depending on the different situations they sell altcoins. at the bottom, when the information about Altcoin is not good or the error of worry about losses occurs, it leads to that case.

It really depends on the situation, some thinks that the altcoin they are holding will keeps on dipping as time goes by. And we didn't know the very bottom of each altcoins that's why our mindset or instinct will tell that it will keep on dumping. But I like your positivity, hold strong hodlers. The best is yet to come and the whole market will recover again.

Depending on the altcoin, many altcoins whose developer teams are no longer active or may even leave and create new projects. Altcoin still has a chance to grow as long as the project is actively communicating with investors to maintain trust

if you are holding a coin make sure that they are still working on the coins, still active and has some campaigns that will boost
and make investors to keep more, if thw coin that your holding
has no updates, and never heard anything on their social media account and announcement its time to release the coin there is no
reason for you tol hold it, it will never go up even its already alt season because the developers abandon already the project

looks like you have big hope on alt season and invested heavily on alt coins.many people waiting for btc bull run thats why they selling and convert them to btc.

It really doesn't make sense to sell altcoin when it's at the bottom. But, sometimes in certain situations we have to decide to sell it, when the observations we make are not according to the circumstances so selling it is not wrong. And it's true that we shouldn't sell it when the coins are below, but sometimes things don't go according to what we expect.

There are a couple of reason why anyone would sell their altcoins when it is right at the bottom, and I totally would not blame them. It could be as a result of certain factors best known to them. But for the purpose of making the best investment options, I would like to advice that everyone should thorough analyse their options and decisions before going on to sell their altcoins when it is at the bottom.

People are more want avoid altcoins because lot of scaming with more project developing crazy example i want shere something. I was holding mb8coin and this project still running almost one year sixth month i know they got big successful. But after end ico there accept two low volume exchange even first time i got price 0.08$ per coin but now 0.028$. So lazy project with team will never run long time so it is better for selling some profitable which project do not follow developing.

Not every coin recovers when the altcoin season comes. Some investors sell their coins in a cheaper price to cut their losses because they think that a project has no long term potential. I have been to a lot of project where the value of the coin sinks down the drain no matter how hard the developers try to develop their project and of course there are some delays on the way. I guess in some point of time investors get tired of waiting. I believe only coins with established names and workig product would benefit most on the altcoin season.

No way, I have commitment for keep holding some altcoin I think have profitable at the future although at the very bottom price, is not good ideas when you are investing with good altcoin but price down to sell, wait for several time because price your altcoin will back to higher and get much profit with your patience holding.

This is about an individual, everyone that ventures into a business has a plan and one might probably sell of a project at an atl if he or she is displease with the project and can not jold on any longer, but that does not stop me from holding stq, i still hold firmly

It might not sound logical sense to you but to someone, it is safer to sell now than wait and it might even drop further below.  There is always reasons behind why people will decide to sell their altcoins when its price is at the button. It is better to sell at the button than holding till they become shitcoins...

Seeing our coins slowly losing their value makes us sad but is it permanent? No its just temporary and thats what I always keep in mind. There's a long way to go for blockchain and crypto and there's more to look forward, dont think of the current situation and stay positive because those who can hold firmly with their coins are likely to have big gains when alts season occur.

You are right, it all depends on the person and on the situation in which he finds himself. Someone sells their altcoins because he has a plan, and someone urgently needs money. Personally, I try not to sell  coins at once, but often the price does not recover and I regret it.

some people have their own reasons why they sell altcoin or their portfolios at low prices. and maybe the reason makes sense because their coins have no price development at all, so they do it. selling and replacing them with better coins or having a good price growth in my opinion is the right step.

And why do you want to hold onto coins that do not have any future in relation to its market price? It is better to sell rather than holding onto them with a false hope that it might be worh something in the future to come. The future of most altcoins with no specific impact and influence on the crypto ecosystem are not very good. It is better to sell now than never..

Lack of patience and trust with the team behind those projects that they are holding. Most of the time when holders got disappoint from the outcome of their assets value, they blindly decide to liquidate everything and forget about such mistake. Some will continue and try to find good project to invest back while some will totally go away and forget about this market. Reason behind though will be still from the users opinions and personal experienced.

Now, major players are waiting for just that. they are waiting for those people who doubt and do not fully believe in this market - they will sell all their assets and simply leave.

Selling altcoin when the market is at the very bottom is not the right decision. But for myself it depends on the situation that is happening to me, if at that time I really need extra money for something or in an emergency, of course I will choose to sell it even though all I get is a loss, for me it not a problem because it has become a decision that I choose.

Holding altcoins further, especially when its value and bonus acquired at ICO has already covered the money you invested in it is nothing but financial suicide. If you don't sell before bounty distribution for such project is done, you will have yourself to blame.
The fault is not mostly from the hunters but from greedy investors who thinks bidding low buying price is the best way to buy from hunters.

On very bottom line I thinks is best time for investing and buy back altcoin or bitcoin, many prediction after bottom line will have good price with bitcoin and altcoin for you can get much profit, its the best chance to buy on bottom line because all of altcoin or bitcoin will take back to higher price, just need for waiting to bitcoin and altcoin have higher price, every moment could be happen with bottom line to get up.

In addition, the average altcoin sales, even though the price has dropped very drastically, is done by bounty hunters. because to worry that indeed the price will go down later. and in my opinion this is very risky to hold if the price drops is already very large, reaching more than 50%. I guess people already know the reason why they sell even though the price is very low

Why not? if I think the coins I have are difficult to develop, it's better to sell immediately while they still have prices, especially with the tokens of campaign results I won't hold them for a long time, given the market situation that is still poorly selling right away is a good choice for me.

i don't sell altcoins. neither now nor when the next ATH is reached.
i hope to find at least utility token sometime an area of application for it. :D
aside, if it actually comes to an ATH i would sell some stuff. currently of course not.

I also expect that. but I may have sold some altcoin at a pretty low price. besides being caused by panic, I think the developer did not make any progress at all. however, I still hold some altcoin assets which I think can have quite a big development. besides that, I also have the same hope as you, that I also want to feel the use of the tokens that I hold.

not all altcoins will enter the season, because most of them are rubbish so it's better to sell them even though the price is already very low or you have lost above 50% of the value of your coins, than it's not worth at all.
unless you hold altcoin which is already good and is down due to sluggish market conditions, you can still maintain it even though its value is very bad now.

Well yeah i would still sell it just to recover some of my funds. Although in practicality, no trader will sold their assets to the point of its price reaches rock bottom and even myself will sell the coin immediately once the price rises up to 20 percent of its original price and if the coin price crashes i will sell it immediately just to recover what is left to the original price and the lost up 10 percent.

it looks like you are very excited about altcoin investment, yes I also have something in common like you that altcoin won't end in a dead end, they still have the chance to raise prices again, especially the top altcoin on the market, we hope the team & developers can develop their tokens correctly so altcoin bag holders are not disappointed with their project. I will only give a little extra that selling altcoin at a cheap price or replacing it with a better one, doesn't mean that it doesn't make sense, but it is a good way to avoid losses in altcoin junk.

I sold a few times before touching the bottom, this happened because I believed too much, but in fact the price kept sliding down.
Now I am very careful in observing the market, if my alt investment coins fall more than 60% I will immediately sell them to avoid similar events.
I will sell my alt if the developer does nothing to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Some altcoins need to be sold at least even when they are at the bottom, because most altcoins simply die out and you need to follow them to sell them successfully, so investing in new altcoins is always a huge risk and it’s best to use old and top altcoins for investments that never fail to give you profit and your investments always will be safe.

You really can't blame other people for selling their coins. I sell my own tokens even though I won't profit that much as long as I really need money. Your token, your decision. You really don't need logic to say that. People will hold if they want more profit but let's just accept that there are cases that they have to dump.

not only panic sell but the project dont have any more movement developers almost living the project without update to investors in that way investors need to sell or it will give them more lost if they wait more.

There is no point selling your altcoins at the very bottom if you have bought it at high price and its your big loss. And it would be best if you already set a position for stop loss to avoid losing your money.

Best way to avoid this kind of situation is setting up a position and have a target price for selling and buyback if you see some signal and goodnews for that project.

People are impatient and do not care about tokens that they have earned by promoting projects. Those are mostly hunters that want to have x10 right now without issues. Wise people are holding crypto till better times.

That is like stupid action  :D
For me i always deep analyze first what altcoin i must buy and find the worst price first.
So after buy i will target sell it atleast 10% profit, so if the price become more bearish, i don't care will still hold it until going back to my first price.
With that strategy i don't know i will sell it at very bottom. Maybe they who sell it like that is surrender or taking stop loss.

Your prediction and analysis seem to be very attractive, but sometimes it is impossible to sell them at a higher price because there is the second opinion it might increase it's a price to a higher value. This makes us hold the coin until the price drops to deep down and we are in the situation that the coin price will not increase again.

depending on the situation first, if I make a decision to sell at a low price it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense and it doesn't mean that I'm stupid. but I will not do that action if I previously bought at a high price. unless I buy cheaply and there is no price adjustment in my coins, I am forced to sell them.

Yes sometimes i get that moment, not all my coin can run like my strategy. That is really confused what we must do.
If the situation like that, i can give 3 top my solution :
1. still hold it hope the price can going up
2. use that coin to buy goods or service, where we can take advantage to make profit
3. gamble it ;D

Point 2 and 3 is possible if any people accept that coin, but if not,
only point 1 is best solution, hold it then forget it.

Why selling tokens/coins at a low price in the market.
I will tell you that it is not easy to sell at a very low price! though I will definitely sell my tokens for some reason!
1. the price will be much cheaper and before it happens you must sell it and just buy again at a much lower price!
2. The tokens/coins will be delisted to many exchanges or with the exchange which will result in the more poor market.

As long as your altcoins are good investments then it doesn't matter if you are gong to hold them for long term and just temporarily forget about them. Investing into altcoin means that you are attracted and you want to be committed into that altcoin and in my opinion, once you are committed then you should stay and support it until the end, so it is best to just hold it and forget about it temporarily.

maybe I will hold it in, because most of the altcoins that I have are still cheap and there are a number of prize tokens that have not been listed on the exchange and if sold, that's only enough for fee fees. so inevitably I have to leave it in my wallet until they really have a good sale value ..

To date, many cryptocurrency users are fleeing the market and selling all their assets, but some still remain and will necessarily carry out the reconstruction of their portfolio.  The fact that today they are getting rid of some altcoins is, first of all, to say that they are getting rid of bad coins in their opinion.  Perhaps it is at this time that the cryptocurrency market is being corrected, after which bad coins will no longer be in demand in the market.

WTF is that?  Never heard of it.

This is true, and there are probably hundreds of coins trading for around 0.00000001BTC with no buying orders within a thousand miles, no miners mining them, and a blockchain that's dead.  Those are the ones to stay away from.  You might think that those coins have unlimited upside potential because they're trading for basically nothing, but that's a sucker bet.

You know, the old maxim in trading is 'buy low, sell high' but I've seen a lot of traders who panic and end up selling as the market is declining.  What they ought to be doing is buying.  It's probably one of the most illogical behaviors I've seen in life.  Right now think of altcoins as being on sale.  If you were shopping for a toaster, would you not be more inclined to buy one if the appliance store had them on sale for 50% off?

It is to be expected that they'd rather sell their assets for now and go for another investment that can give them more profit. They'll go for a better altcoin to invest, most of traders/holders did it already.
The same goes for me, I sold my coins even if its not that profitable, but I prefer to sell it immediately to go for a better investment which is that popular crypto.

As you correctly said, the altcoin season will begin at the very bottom, and this means that you need to buy coins exclusively at the very bottom.
It may seem that selling near the bottom does not make sense, but it all depends on your initial entry point. It is better to sell later than never to sell and freeze the balance of your funds for an indefinite period.

you are very correct in saying that you need to buy at the very bottom, but the problem is that no one knows where the bottom is. altcoins have already updated their lows 100 times

It is not a good idea to sell your altcoin while it is at the very bottom of the market, it would be best more if you are going to buy potential altcoins, not all altcoins, that are in the bottom of the market. If ever it goes on the top, you will surely gain much benefit from it. We should make sure that the altcoin we are buying is the one we can predict to be at the very top next altcoin season but if not, atleast you should see it near the top so that there would be no regrets of buying it.

The reasons you give about why some investors may sell their coins when they are close to the bottom are not wrong, but they are too logical to me, when people take those kind of decisions they are not thinking rationally they are mostly using their emotions when they sell, at that point it becomes unbearable for them to keep holding their coins, they probably thought that the coin they were holding will recover soon.

And when that doesn't happen the losses they are suffering are too big for them and they keep thinking everyday that they should have sold their coins when they had the chance, eventually those thoughts become recurrent and they can only get away from those thoughts until they sell.

I tried several times to sell my not very efficient assets, but I still have to try to sell them, because the market is very weak and trading activity is very small.  Even if I sell some coins at low prices, then for these funds I won’t be able to buy even a good amount of Bitcoin or Ethereum in order to get good profit later.  Based on this, it remains to rely only on the future prospects of the cryptocurrency market and on the development of those projects whose coins are in my portfolio.  Therefore, it makes no sense to sell altcoin at low prices.

At the very bottom you cant sell, very bottom is 0

it does, especially you are low at money and need some quick cash, so selling coins at low prices would be a good idea to at least give you a breath before making an order again I the future. They sell those coins because afraid that it would go far down in next few days, that's a reason

I sell my altcoins at a low price and of course there will be losses, due to several things among coins will be delisted from
the exchanges that made me make a quick decision by selling at low prices so they could sell quickly, coins are I hold no
progress after I hold and I'm afraid those coins will become shitcoins, so I decided to sell at cheap prices. And lastly because
I need funds quickly because there are important and sudden matters in the real world, then I decided to sell cheap altcoins
that I had so they could sell quickly.

People have their various reasons for wanting to dump their tokens, some of them invested all they had and cannot even afford some basic things and they got tired of holding and decided to just cut their loses, this happened to a friend of mine and I couldn't fault him to wanting to get out, we have been hearing if the altszn for a long while now and it is still yet to materialize but all hope is not lost, hodl tight but make sure it's quality tokens with potential to do well.

if I want to sell or buy altcoin I have to see the movement whether it is suitable for sale or purchase. But if the situation is very urgent, such as to pay for necessities, I have to sell and if the situation is ordinary I will still hold

Usually, if the growing coin is able to grow extensively, then there might no way the bottom can be determined. If we all know what and how to know that, then trading or investment might have been the easiest thing to do, but most times, they are done based on predictions.

I find it nonsense too to sell an altcoin that is at the very bottom because it wouldn't do you any good no matter what angle you look at. It will only be applicable to sell an altcoin when it is already hopeless but if you can see that the altcoin you are currently holding has the potential to be at the very top as the altcoin season starts, you should think twice first before selling it. You can either regret it or be relieved on what you've done but that's what crypto is all about, risks.

i have many altcoin in my wallet, they like shitcoin, it cant be sell, priceless. sometime i will sell when the price is good, and hold it when i think its too low. im not sure if all altcoin have the season, maybe its apply for some altcoin.
for some people bitcoin is safer than altcoin, so they sell at low price, change to bitcoin

Selling altcoins when their price is at the bottom, of course, does not make sense. But not all altcoins destined to grow, so some of them should be sell it immediately and not keep for as long as they have completely lost their value.

Basically, it makes sense in two cases: possible further dump or urgent money need. Otherwise it truly makes no sense of selling your assets at the very bottom.

I do not think that it is wise to hold a coin that has already becoming less and less usable in the market. Not all investment plans work so we must be prepared when we need to quit. Sometimes, the investment itself is unrealistic from the beginning due to the lack of extensive research about the project. But, it is also true that there are a few coins that manage to rise up again. Part of reason is that even the prices is not that high anymore as it used to be, there is still trading volume.

Many factors influence it, as you say, every person who sells at the lowest price is due to special factors. not because of their desires but rather the final choice rather than having to hold back and ultimately lose more

Indeed, it will e counterproductive to sell the coin at its lowest price but sometimes, we got to let go especially if the developers themselves ran away from the coin. The first instinct you will do in that specific situation is to minimize your losses. But if you think that the decrease in the price is just seasonal, it will be dumb or sell it. This is why it is important to study well the trend and te graph of the crypto market especially the coin you are keeping.

the first reason is a panic when seeing prices go down and sell immediately because they think there will be a greater decline (most cases like that, myself too).
but there is another possibility because the coins being sold have not very good trades and have very bad prices. especially if there are no more updates made by the team, then selling it at any price is the most appropriate choice.

For me, this does not make any sense even if you are selling your coin at high need as money has always been a need but we should keep some amount of money saved so that at times of need we will not have to sell our coin at a panic price. This is totally wrong and full of losing as if you sell it now a day coz the price is low better keep holding.

in my opinion everyone has different reasons why they sell altcoin at low times. maybe at that time they were in need of money. or maybe it's because they've seen that altcoin won't be able to develop because the manager and the development team aren't experienced people. so they decide to sell rather than if they are not for sale they will get nothing. or maybe they consider that altcoin they have is not so potential and want to try another altcoin so they decide to sell coins.

Lol. Panic sellers. I'm not selling an altcoin at the bottom unless i have the guts to let that altcoin out of my portfolio for one reason that altcoin is a dead one. If i am going to trade 'em, i will buy at the bottom what's the reason of selling at the very bottom if you know that altcoin have a potential to go up by basing on technical analysis thats how i trade altcoin.

Panic psychology has caused them to sell altcoins at low prices because they certainly cannot make good profits from that coin so they will often choose a safe solution to secure their assets. In fact any investor will go through this stage so it's no surprise. In my opinion, before investing, you need to have a specific plan and always think carefully because not everyone is lucky enough to be able to survive in the bear market.

You should analyze that coin yourself and learn carefully to avoid risks because there are currently hundreds of altcoins available in the crypto market and every altcoin will have its own risks in investment.

everyone has various problems.
how come there are people who sell bottom ? Maybe he wants to move to another altcoin, because what is maintained does not go by there is a significant change in terms of price.

In my own point of view, i sell my altcoins when at the very bottom because i really wanted to move it to another altcoin that has a good value or that has a potential to increase for me to earn good profit, and sometimes i avoid letting it's price very low, so i could have enough money to provide my necessities.

I will not do that, because every choice of coins that I invest is the top coin in the market, always has further price developments, is widely used by investors, and also the team is always active in developing its projects. so I personally will not sell it at low prices.

Yes people sell and they could have more than one reason for it some people sell to get money and some sell to change their assets but it’s not good to sell it at the bottom as it reduces the profit and increases the risk. I don’t sell it for any reason because I believe in holding and Hold with patience until the price recovers totally as every good investor knows selling at bottom or panic is the worst choice.

the market is still recovering, indeed slow. but at least we have seen positive movements since the market crashed in early 2018. at least now there has been a good increase since the fall of prices some time ago. I understand that you all still have not accepted this situation because what you see is only one side, namely the collapse of a very sharp market and has not returned. You don't see the movement of the recover market from the falling phase to the rising phase. stay put here with your investment, or you (maybe) will regret it.

Agree, everyone has their own reasons why they sell tokens at cheap prices. Maybe it's because the investor doesn't trust the developer team or it could be because they see a good opportunity on another coin. But certainly, people sell at cheap prices because they do not want greater losses

It's really hard for us that the altcoin you love cause you so much grief. But i still recommend to do some research everytime you buy or sell altcoins 

I think it depends on what altcoin we save. If we hold altcoin which is only for pump and dump, surely holding is the wrong choice. But if altcoin like TRX, XRP, XLM, ADA, ETH could be able to provide benefits if we hold for a long time.
But on the other hand, it's also rather difficult for me to determine the current market direction. What I do is save FIAT for now and wait for the right time to enter again on altcoin.

If you are holding a coin or a token that has lost most of its value, then the best thing to do is to get rid of it before it become completely worthless. I know that many people will face great difficulty in selling the assets at a price much below their original purchasing price. But this is something that they need to do. If you want to be a successful investor, then you need to use your brain more than your heart. Don't get in to emotional attachment with any of your assets. Just admit that your choice of investment was not good and get rid of it.

Well, maybe you are right. there are many reasons that make us sell prices that have decreased. one of the factors could also be that they have re-analyzed and the trend direction shows a decline. the decision to sell is not the wrong thing right? because we avoid actually greater losses

Holdl altcoins? #lol. I'm a fan of hodling but not every altcoins deserve to be hodl and if you chose to do otherwise,  it will definitely end in only one thing.......

I've sold a lot of altcoins which i contemplated to be at the very bottom but i thank God that i did because their prices are nothing to write home about now. And most of the altcoins i fell in love with and hodl surely dissapoints because most devs do create coins with predetermined intentions of cashing out certain amount and when they hit that amount,  boom its game over.

investment in a state of declining development and sell it certainly investors have a reason to do that one of them is as you say because of the urgent need so that requires money and the other reason may be the investor panic with the worsening crypto market situation

But top altcoins like ETH, TRON, XRP are worth to hold because they have a lot upcoming events that gonna be held in the upcoming years.
And also holding some of them are not bad too since the price is not on their best right now. When the crypto becomes mainstream again just like 2017 i'm sure those alts will rise also.
But yeah i agree with your statement that most altcoin are not surviving in this current market condition, but only for new alts, old altcoins has already got much profits from the investor so they can survice because they still able to funds the development of their coin

Selling with panic market is indeed the main reason why most traders sell their assets at the bottom, they are not willing to wait and they are basing their investment to how the situations brings them, It's best to make sure that you do know what you are doing in order not to fall with panic selling.

Aside from quick dumped wise investors deals with changing assets,  they do understand how market works and how they can recover just in-case they made a mistake from previous investment.

Selling your coins because you need the money while understandable it shows a lack of planning on the part of the investor, you should never invest all your money in the markets, it is important to leave some portion of your capital in reserve in the case an emergency happens, this way you can avoid selling at the bottom and this is even more important if the investment you made was a long term one because if you invested in the right coin then the chances you recover your money are very high.

Now selling because you believe there could be another dump in the price indicates that most likely the investor in question invested in the wrong coin and now is paying the price for that decision.

Because investors are getting tired of waiting and want to save at least some money from their bad investment option. It cannot be that a project collects solid amount of money and lets the price go down and make -x15 from the ICO price.

Op and some other altcoin hopefuls have to be aware of the fact that not every altcoin will do well. Infact, a greater number of them are shit and mere money making tool for the token creators with an end result of eternal dump. It will actually be considered a wise move for an investor to sell off and move on even at all time low having know that the token has no future. Its better than holding till the project gets delisted on every exchange

Most of the times that is a panic sell , when the investor wanted to get rick quick and seeing his investment going down he panic and he sells at a huge loss. There are other factors too , if the project you invested is dead , better cash out what ever you can in order to prevent total loss. Another one would be that maybe he needs some urgent cash and his only option is to sell his altcoin to convert it into fiat ( happened to me a few times ).  And the last ones are those who didn't know in what they invested , pure gamblers ...

Or sometime just because of our business, man, and we have no choice. Or we don't see any positive signal from the project, so I think we need to make a decision to leave it and come up with a new and more profitable project.

Exactly like that, three reasons:

1. Panic sell!
2. Cutting loses!
3. Cashing out alts for some life need!

Nobody sells at bottom for other reasons, simply they are panicking and they are looking for better investment, of course in the wrong moment. Cutting loses is well known to many people, when you think about some projects its better to cut your loses and save at least some money then to wait them to go to zero, each of us made at least couple mistakes. Number 3 shouldn't be discussed, when you need money you need it, you sell what you can.
But in crypto you never know what will happen next, so who can afford to hold some of these alts that are on bottom right now should risk and hold them for the future.

One of the reasons is when you hear an arkward news regarding the platform especially when news about team dumping their tokens it brings anxiety and people will definitely sell or when you here if a good project trading or to do X10 it makes one sell off old holdings especially altcoins to jumb into the new one, panic, greediness and bad news regarding team to warrant quick sell off from investors.

This happened to Perl last January and many were tired of their floating assets and then sold them at a great loss, but the best thing for a patient trader was to buy back at the lowest position, because prices do not always continue to fall permanently.

There are several other panic that happened to the coins which finally delisted for some of their trading pairs, especially with BTC pairs.

If I were you I would not sell it when the price is really low, you are actually wasting your money if you do that so I prefer holding it until the time that the market will recover and every altcoin will also recover its price and the price rises up again. It really matters, you should have patience. It is the key for you to earn the money you want in the future. Hold until the market recovers. Selling on a low price is a waste of time and money because you bought it and sell it in a low price. The number one thing you should acquire to be a good trader is that you should have courage and patience.

It is an individual choice.
For you, it would be better to hold and wait for a certain altcoin to increase its price before selling it to gain the maximum profit or to meet your expected profit.
But for some, they prefer to cut their losses and invest in popular altcoin in the market to have a much better profit and they secure their profit once the bull run starts.

It is better to keep some btc and potential tokens. And selling tokens that you feel have no future. I will sell low and accept losses rather than hold tokens that are not worth leaving.

I think everyone has their reasons why they sometimes choose to sell their coins when the price is very bottom. In my opinion, maybe because at that time they were in dire need of money so they decided to sell their coins despite being in the lowest position or maybe there were other reasons or strategies they had prepared so that they were selling the coins.

It's not just that the price has declined, you spent time watching the team and observing their development, marketing and use case. Sometimes you stop believing in the team and their decisions or the pace of development. Sometimes the market, technology and regulations change. For example, I sold XVG, XMR, GRAFT at the bottom despite holding for two years because I determined that governments will continue to crack down on privacy coins and they will not be as easily converted to fiat.

selling altcoins right down to the bottom is because it's not very safe, instead of keeping that insecure, we can sell and invest in something more potential, right?

Although selling an altcoin at the bottom is not necessarily the best choice, this way can make investors feel more secure when they have money in their hands and will find new and better directions.

Indeed, people can sell their coins even when the price is at the bottom because simply whether, they need urgently some money or probably they didn't see any improvement in the long term period based on their predictions, it's also possible if they have more trading strategy.

We also love you, love altcoin. I will keep it safe and look forward to seeing you at the peak of the next alt[Suspicious link removed]dbye.

I will keep my faith and try to overcome this altcoin storm. I am very confident and hope that altcoins will explode in value and grow steadily in the future.  ::)

yes, but once.
and mostly, I cut loss and buy back when it cheaper,
then sell at middle, so I often get a little bit of money, not as much as others.

The fact that altcoins cannot grow as strongly as previous altcoins is the saddest thing. but not so that we sell an altcoin right at the bottom because anything unexpected can happen. Keep your faith strong.

It is all relative to the project. If you jump on a shit coin wave hoping to catch the top but unfortunately it dumped hard. All you can do is to time the project, monitor developments and evaluate your position as investor, if you notice red flags, you sell off immediately and cut losses. It happens in Fresco and Nobs Crypto. Not coin or token bounces back when it hits rock bottom so you must learn when to cut losses and move on

Now, when we hold tokens, of course we have to track developments that occur in tokens, for example if there will be a big event or news that will happen to the token product if indeed the token product is not going well, it would be better if we cut losses at the beginning rather than we fall too deeply in the hope of a miracle.

I hope the Ethereum price will reach $ 300 at the end of the year, although this looks difficult it looks like the target will be achieved next year. This turnover is increasingly difficult to guess, from the unstable price of coins that makes all those who invest become afraid of trading in crypto and we hope the best so that crypto gets better next year.

Right now, the price of ethereum is quite half of the target price you said it could be. But with the altcoin sean coming up, it could achieve more than that. I highly doubt people thay says it will not. Why? because of the latest update that ethereum gonna have, it will surely induce its market price to sky rocket as new people will try to see the new update and accumulate ethereum as their altcoin. Moreover, other altcoins will also benefit that bullish move.

Fud is the architect of many selling their token at cheap expecially when information regarding team not being real/scam. Another reason could be when team are not working on the project (listing on another Exchange or no working product) these may warrant one dumping his or her coins at low rate.

I'm sure a bunch of people have said this, but there's nothing to say that this is the bottom.  In fact, the fact that you (and many others) are so convinced that it is the bottom means that there is a good opportunity for whales to make money on everyone hodling at this point because they don't want to "sell the bottom".

There's a good argument that the bottom will be mid-2020 at around $2,000.  Which means that selling right now would be an excellent move and shorting right now would yield almost 4x.

are you kidding me? Although the value of the business is currently $ 7 million but the volume is $ 297 ???
I think this is a joke of the century when more and more fomo people are coming to HST every day but it is a genuine shitcoin. Alts like this will have no prospects and hopefully you will gain awareness early and leave this altcoin as soon as possible. I was also cheated by the WPP token, a potential project but actually a scam to investors. Have the psychology of closing a hole and don't try to pursue an unrealistic dream.

5 months have passed after the creation of this thread but until now i cant see the altcoin season that the op talkin about  . the alt season that his saying could be stuck or something blocked its way  . i have heard of that hst token that you are talkin about and the token recieve some good feedback but i dont know if what is the update on that token   . to the question if why would sell an alt at the bottom  ? well because i think the price will dump more . sell and get profit and then buy again  .

It's an obvious fact that the market hasn't been on her best lately, both for Bitcoin and altcoin. Several persons are looking at selling their tokens with the intention of buying when the value is lower. It could seem risky owing to the fact that the bull run could be around the corner and you never can tell when it would commence.

It depends upon the current financial situation of the holder. Currently all altcoins are trading at lower price and its not worth to sell anything right now but sometimes holders is forced to sell his assets to meet out his sudden expenses. Altcoins earned from bounty are easy to sell as no emotions attached to it but if someone has purchased anything at higher price then its difficult to sell the same at low price. Its only the need of money which forces anyone to sell his assets at low price.

We should be wise traders and if the market is falling we should not let it fall, especially the value of the coin. We need to cut losses and wait for the deepest to fall and there we buy.

This may be the only way we can recover from our losses and at the same time get some small profit,  when the price of coin increase.

Hey. I sold all altcoins in the summer. And never regretted. Although it also sold in the negative. And now, looking at the market, I am once again convinced that I did the right thing.  ;)

Catching the falling knife, this is a bad idea unless you have the professional trading skills with perfect money management or inside feeling to guess what will happen in the market next. Instead of adding to losing trades, I also act professionally and cut the losses before it was too late.

it was a good decision because now you have the opportunity to buy the same altcoins even cheaper. I hope you do it because the altcoin season is already very close

I think to sell Altcoin right under itself indeed a considerable profit step. Because I do not want to get the loss, so before the greater the loss that I get will be better by selling it now. This minimizes the losses that can be gained. So I highly recommend for all the children keep on monitoring the circumstances by selling that need to be sold. Take advantage of the situation. Very nice with this advantage.

holders get rid of much cheaper altcoins because all hopes for recovery were exhausted this year, if earlier the growth of bitcoin was a signal for the growth of altcoins, today the drop in bitcoin provokes the sale of other coins.

This year is not good for altcoins even btc show some growth most alts didnt follow.

Selling at lower price cant gain you anything thus it would be better to wait until alts bull run.

If you believe in altcoins you should not dump your coins even it seems there's no hope for the price to recover.

Actually it's depends on the situation and those coins market value even when we got good profits then right time to sell. Basically if a project developing has great potential then we can take long time investment so it totally depends on your mind, sell perfect time depend your profit situation.

not all developing projects can be profitable, what needs to be known is the level of potential that exists on the coin. and the reason people sell altcoin at the lowest price is because they cut lose or other reasons that make it

the main reason for selling altcoins now is the fear of people to lose their money, but only those people who don’t even understand which coins they invested their money for and why these coins exist on the market, have such fear. those people who are sure of the coins that they bought or buying now - do not sell them at the first drop of the price because they know that the cryptocurrency market is very unstable

for those who have altcoins in their portfolio, and not the first year), of course, you should not get nuts and sell them on the bottoms now, no one will say exactly when they can grow and give unexpected profits. so hold and wait

The best scenario when it was growing again but the worst scenario when it gets down even more just like me with my kickcoin. It's only worth 1 satoshi and i lost 99% of my money. You should know the holding strategy can't be used in any altcoins. You must take care with what kind of coin that you have invested on it.

Perhaps he was under a terrible pressure from altcoins he had bought for a long time. Without patience, you most likely did the most regretful thing in your life

I am not doing it. I will wait to the price to rise back even just a little. Selling your tokens at the very bottom is like you just throw you money off and don't want something in return. Try atleast make a little profits before it.

For me personally, I will not sell my coins when the price is in the lower position because for me, I invest in a coin to make a profit and if I sell it when the price of the coin is below the same I do not get anything from what I do or you could say I just wasted my time and money just to get a loss. When in that position maybe I would prefer to hold it but in reality when I see the price of my coins fall and I expect to fall again, there I will take the decision to cut losses.

There still no altcoins season yet. I think you guys should stop dreaming about altcoin season, keep dreaming and your investment will become zero soon. We've been few months from this thread and there no altcoin season, only new lower price season. Dont hope about altcoin season, i bet even that season happen, holding old altcoin will never make you guys be rich.

Well, if the coin is hopeless and about to die I would sell it before it does.

Inside investors minds, selling isn't an options as you are aiming for a much better outcome. Research and you'll not be afraid holding your coins
inside your wallet. This particular venue of investment always have a big risk behind if you will not do your homework and just invest without any
knowledge.

The point is that the vast majority of altcoins have lost practically all their value, and the probability that they will repurchase it at least in part is very small.
So, you might as well keep them as a souvenir, just to remember that nothing in this world is guaranteed ...

I really think selling at the bottom is not the best of trading skills, but then again when people sell at the bottom they never know if it is the bottom unless they are really good at technical analysis. Most ' traders' follow a herd type of mentality, so when there is fud they will dump without any real reasoning, the same goes for buying in with fomo and the pump. You really need to follow and study the project you are following very well to see if it has a lot of future potentials, so if it has you hodl tight and load up on the dumps, sell on the all-time highs, rinse and repeat on each retrace and make profits and grow a bigger bag. If I had known this in the last bear market I would have been rich, but I believe we always can be given a second chance. We need to educate ourselves well around the coin we are trading.

   Some people sell at bottom because they lose trust in the project. Some people sell because they need cash for other stuff.
We can't generalize this matter, each of us is free to do what we think it's the best for us.
   I understand what you mean by saying "other chance". You are here longer then us, and you didn't expect the rise in 2017.
Now you, like many others, wait for second market rise. Like you I believe that second rise is coming. Now is our chance to collect
coins that other people dump at bottom.

I don't sell my token at the bottom of price but I can guess why some people it. If you find very interesting projects which price will pump or Binance IEO coin, you should sell at bottom price for instant profits. Or somehow you realize that you are in scam project so should leave before price is goes to null.

If I go to lose the rest of the trade in the bear market, I will make a smart choice and sell the rest of the trade for protecting the balance. Otherwise, losing balance is the worst case. I don't want to be trapped in the bottom of the market, the other altcoins need investors too.

it is logically impossible for someone to sell their coins right at the lowest price, unless someone is pressed for economic needs or something else. for me personally will not do that, I believe that the investment that I have will be profitable in the future. so, for me to sell when the market is bad is not a good idea.

a lot of those who do that they sell altcoin at low prices and it will only make themselves lose but when they make sales at cheap prices they already understand the risks and the possibility that he is in need of money and is very important.

We're hoping for future and observing from past. Every altcoins can't satisfied us, we know that. Sometimes holding isn't good, if new interesting coin IEO on Binance exchange. Short term but very good profits. We're entering altcoins season by launching Ethereum blockchain 2.0 and top coin halving.

I'm not sure if the altcoin price will go up everything. maybe you mean there are some altcoins that will get progress later because we all know that every day more and more altcoins have been launched and the latest altcoins have clearer prospects and promises to provide benefits over the altcoins we hold today, and hopefully the altcoins we hold are now not invaluable coins later.

This is a very good question and any trader who sells his or her altcoins at the bottom must have a vivid reason for doing that but i beleive anyone who does that must have seen that the project is about waxing off or exiting scam. Though i believe some also sell when they meet unexpected expenses which they need to cater for

There is a price cycle in the market. This is a cruel market for novices. You buy at a high price and you sell at a low price. If you don't want to do this, you need to do some good research and improve yourself. Altcoins are subject to much speculation.

Logically, if it's at the "very bottom" as you say, than that means it either cannot decline any further, or it's completely dead (e.g. has no liquidity.)

Based on this, selling at the true bottom would be pretty stupid since it can only recover from there, whereas if the network is dead, selling will be impossible.

However, you're forgetting that nobody knows when the bottom is. Some people have held for so long that it feels like recovery is never going to happen, so it's best to cut your losses early.

I would say these are the smart(er) ones, since coins in this position rarely recover.

If the project still alive, you have the reason to hold the coin just ignore the price because it will rise the price naturally at the right time   you only need to be patient but if the project is totally dead not reasonable to hold that coin and sell it asap and find another good projects.

If the demand was lost and you can't see your coin on news and maybe your friends do out for the altcoin you have then do it also because by the demand, the altcoin was not like bitcoin that has a bigger chance to recover its price.

always look at other factors, many long-term altcoin projects are progressively declining, so we must choose to sell it. even I have several altcoins that have lost their value. so as long as it has a value it is better to sell even at bottom.

This is something that most newbies never really consider because they do not take the time to study the markets.

Most of those that bought a lot of altcoins were relatively new to this market and they did it when the whole market was in the middle of a bull run and since the day that the bull market has been over more than two years have passed and there is still no evidence that supports the idea of a recovery in the market of altcoins and as such most newbies are selling their coins in complete disappointment.

I sell the altcoins that I have only because there is no coin growth. if I last longer then I will experience bigger losses, for example Sportfix (SFT) ICO is priced at $ 0.1 but now it is very far from that price and even now like priceless, so not all decisions taken to sell altcoins can result in losses. even if we continue to hold back will be more detrimental than now.

I have experienced both the peak and trough stages of altcoins. The current stage is considered to be a trough. Only by holding the altcoins in hand, it is possible to make a profit.

Is there really a bottom in the crypto market? Some good project price drop so much that people got frustrated and they think this project can not recover the loss. And that is the main reason people sell their token cheap. Some dare to hold that token but that's very risky you can lose remaining of your balance. So every trader should use stop loss for minimizing their losses.
