Okay. i saw ethereum made a 10 to 20% price gain within 3 days.My initial thoughts was on the current Ethereum 2.0 approaching. with that in mind i strongly believed that Ethereum will sell pass 600 to 800usd before 2020 ends. This lead me to purchase Ethereum at 580usd.unfortunately, the rebound in the market(which is expected) hit me at the wrong time.
i think i will regain my profits but it is obvious that it will take time. To the lovely community members here, what might look like a failed or lost in investment but actually not a lost.

It's not a loss and you're right with that unless you start to panic and sell it wholly. You are in good hands buying Ethereum at that price and as you see, it's just recovering. Without the 2.0 yet, you see that it's recovering. It doesn't look bad if you have bought at that price.
Everyone is making that decision although can be said a late decision somehow but not literally means you can't steer back that decision. You're an Ethereum believer and your purchase make sense for yourself for 2.0.

That’s right you have to focus on your own strategy and we can’t say no to this one because you already took the risk and we wish you the best for this one, I only suggest to commit with your plan and be patient. I personally don’t want to buy ETH on the price of $500-$600 but it left me no choice because I also believe on bull trend with ETH, so let’s see if we can still achieve more before the year end.

You prepare yourself for Ethereum 2.0 so I think to buy at $580 is not a wrong act, you can sell it above your buy price when Eth 2.0 launched.

Let's talk about the worst possible that ETH 2.0 can't make the Ethereum price pumped, don't worry you invest in a top coin, not a shitcoin so the price will increase for sure, you just need to be patience

Your story says about a fact of trading and investment. Many traders or investors don't use good methods and don't have good calculations for their price to make entry and price to exit or to cut loss. They hear others say about a potential coin that can bring 20 to 40 percent of profits in next one week, one month and buy it instantly. They shake the signals on market within minutes and can create shortly little pump in price but it won't last long.

One week or one month later, they don't see profit or worse see loss and shake their hands. They don't have due diligent reason why they join and exit the market. All are done from their greed and emotion. The market and whales like such traders and investors.

For your investment, you will have opportunity to take profit, and you need to keep up your patience.

I see you as a concrete example of the process of users being attracted and fomo by news, i see that you have started holding ETH since 580, i know about that news for a long time and until there are many i think it is no longer helping to push the price of ETH higher, but the current trend is up, following market corrections over the past few days. At the beginning, it is a sign that the market will start to recover and continue its uptrend. I think you are being influenced by the market and your sentiment fluctuates, but don't overdo it because investing is never easy, i believe that if you can wait then i suggest you hold it for long periods of time instead of chasing after the fomo crowd following the market.

You do that, most of the market entry interest relies on FOMO and FUD, big coins are no exception, but you need to be patient to turn things around while the support is still possible

ETH is going to be worth more than 500 USD!

Patience, maybe by the end of the year it will be worth up to 800 USD.

But that's not its full potential, we'll see ETH easily break $ 1,300 USD now that this ETH 2.0

As you can see in this graph: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/

My advice is to stay hold...

A long term investment in crypto. Back in 2017 after the huge dumping everyone keeps saying that crypto is just a pump and dump and form of bad investment due to the volatility but if you see it in the longterm crypto always going up although there's some bearish market in the process. Just pick BTC and ETH as example from few cents to hundreds or thousand of dollars.
ETH have the potential to go up again because ETH 2.0 is coming really soon so you better prepared for that.

Calm down because what you just did is really too short for me to judge your first investment wrong, but watch again you bought ETH. I always choose ETH as one of the things that i will keep next time, i think a loss of about 10% 20% on investing is normal and importantly, are you comfortable with it, i have another advice for you 'please hold it when has x10'  :) and this is serious.

I remember when i bouthg CHSB at 0.01 and then a few weeks after that and the price of CHSB has been going to the 15 cents and i have been making 15x ROI from there.
The same thing is also happening with unibright too. There are so many stories about that when im thinking i will buy that and that will go even deeper but the opposite thing happened.
I thought that they were failed project.

True, those who have to worry about it are those who have bought Ethereum at a high price, so they have to wait a long time to get a profit, but for those who buy at a low price, it is clear that now they have made a lot of profit through Ethereum.

Once again, I would warn everyone who are planning to invest in Ethereum at current levels. If ETH 2.0 implementation is completed without much issues, then you can expect good returns from Ethereum within the next one or two years. But if some major bug is found, then you can expect a major crash. And looking at the previous history of Ethereum, I have solid reasons to remain cautious.

I'm not a fan of buying while the price is soaring.
I'd rather be satisfied with what I had.
Let the market correct itself and that's the point you buy again.
The problem is I don't sell that much. I want to keep Ethereum as much as possible and just sell to the point where the price is just impossible to believe.
The last ATH of it @$1k+ was the impossible for me. This will be a fight of patience.

You are fluctuating with the change from the market, this is the problem that you need to overcome that is the fact that you need to control your own psychology. I see a lot of people like you in this space, but don't worry too much about that money because it's an investment that i think is still very potential in the market. ETH 2.0 is coming soon, which is partly helping to increase ETH.

There's still a chance that it may go back to your target price.  Accdg to  coingecko (https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/ethereum) ethereum price as of today is $575. Near to your target or you can now accumulate some of it. This volatile market will always gives you a chance to wait and do your purpose.

Eth 2.0 is approaching and I am also optimistic about this as it can lead to another bull run for eth.

You have not bought it for long time dont be panic quick in response to prices, be patient and pay attention in market. price has also returned and your problem is solved, this risk will still exist depending on whether you are going to sell now or later.

It will only failed actually if you sell below that price mark. It's not a loss yet if you are holding your shares of coin. The market is going sideways and we don't know what would happened if either its gonna sky rocket or dump hard.

As of this writing you are above now on your bought price and its has a healthy movement now together with the other major coins. I think 600 to 700 isn't too far anymore for eth as we approach the month of December. The market is now bullish for a another leg up.

ETH starts to rise again so you don't need to worry about this investment, i think it will be difficult to buy at that price in the near future, looking at the current market i'm very optimistic about ETH, as speculated from many people, everyone is aiming for the next conquest of $ 800.

Come on price is already back almost at your buying price so do not lose hope and eth is super bullish from here onwards and in coming months how previous all time high will become history and look small im so bullsih about eth and the strength it is showing due to launch if a newer and efficient network.

It is not bad investment but what you did is a bad strategy because you do not have a right plan when you enter in the market. What you did is FOMO because you bought at the peak without knowing that there is a high chance that the price of the Ethereum may resists in its current resistance. That is why planning is really important and a certain investor or trader should have plan first before entering in a specific trade.

A good plan should consist of good entry point where you should indicate the reason why you will buy, you should have also stop loss wherein you have a strategy in order to protect your capital and also the allocation that you will put buying an altcoin.

This happens to those who go with the flow with the current trend. When you invest in a certain project make a strategy plan because the market is volatile and we are not certain if it will continue to increase. The thing that you will do is hold for the meantime, there is the time ethereum will increase again.

If you invested in any top coins in the market you could have gained a huge profit by now. I had my doubts on some of the coins but some have surprised me as some have grown over 100% in the past few months and the time for investment risk free is over and anything you invest right now has a level of risk as the price is high and for anyone who invested a year ago, just reap the profits.

We must know the Crypto market is not a quick rich scheme like this it's a highly volatile market So whenever we buy any coins we must prepare it can drop or rise the moment we bought. If you have a long-term plan then you don't need to worry whether the market goes against you. Now Ethereum is 594$ so you are in profit now even here people waited for 2 years to be in profit & I must say you are luckier than others who are waiting to be in profit from the last 2 years. Ultimately we can say on the basis of somedays movement we can not judge a coin whether it's a bad investment or not.

So this is about ETH coin.

This coin is my favorite in altcoins department, remember when it dump so hard that the price even dropped to $70 or $60 and people thought ETH is over, or crypto is over because bitcoin also dump $3K plus that time, they actually go with the trend, so ETH now is bullish because bitcoin is bullish.

Those development are not appreciated when the market is bearish, so I understand what ETH has been doing now, they like to ride with the bullish momentum.

You didn't buy Ethereum at the right time when the coin price was trading at $100-150. So you had to buy it on high. But you don't have any loss from such a purchase until you sell the coin below the price at which you bought it. Even today, the price of ETH exceeds the price at which you purchased it, but everything can change in an instant if bitcoin goes for a correction.

This is not a bad investment, buying at that price and later what occurs might give you the impression but the market will decide it soon. Take your time now holding your coin and wait patiently for the green light to come like your prediction.

I will never call your investment a bad investment. The main reason for every investor to invest is to make profit. You have also invested thinking that it will be profit. But you could have made more profit if you had bought ETH at 480-500USD.  Like you I hope ETH will be 900-1000USD. The state of the market can be understood only after the launch of ETH 2.0.

ETH already passed $600 once and now after falling back down to below $500 it has recovered halfway of the journey back to 2020 ATH.

I do feel in two worlds about ETH. I bought it a bit late around $400 so I am in profit now and I am confident it will go back to $1000 at some point, but I was actually a converted buyer. Avoided it all the way until 2018/19 when I finally saw that ETH was not as bad as it used to be.

Definitely for me, seemed like a bad investment at the time. But you have to hand it to them. They have done a lot for themselves now and have proven their utility.

Like you have rightly said you will make your profit back but have to wait. I joined this forum 2017 and I was glad I did though the latter part of the year got me thinking but here we are 2020 and with the recent green light I was overwhelmed looked at the space of two years but I can tell you it worth the wait.

no problem its just correction before the price go up again, not only eth also btc and other alt coin has decrease in last 3 days.
but today its seem look bounce back and eth already reach 600$ again, btc its going 19000$ and try to reach new ATH, once its reached.
they will up even higher maybe around 22k$ to 25k$ for the early.

You are already in profit now. A trader needs more patience to see a trade through without minding any emotions. This time almost all coins will make increase. Taking profit rightly is the most important.

Although the price of ETH is back and above the $ 580 level you bought, I would like to comment on your trading strategy.
At Spot Trading, you should have a long-term plan instead of acting like a margin trader. The price just dropped to 500 $ and you are complaining, which is a signal that you have a very vague plan on the price of ETH in the future.
So I think you should look at W1 or D1 chart and draw trendlines for easier identification and a better trading plan. Your mentality is fluctuating quite strongly at the moment, so learn to hold it back and be more consistent with your profit goals. ;)

Many already left after 2017 pump and since it Continuous to dump after that, but those who are really particular in trading is definitely able to cope on the situation. It is also because of DeFi projects that many were back in tract again before the bullish season happen. We just need to wait and find ways to earn whenever there are dumps happening in the market.

true, traders should be able to control their emotions every time they trade in the market, many traders are trapped in greed for big profits until they end up experiencing big losses, if we are good at seeing opportunities you will certainly find it easy to get profit in doing an trading. currently eth and other altcoin prices are in a bullish trend so this is the right time for us to buy and do day trades.

I think you haven't done anything wrong because ETH has already started recovering it and making momentum. As well still there is time reaming for ETH 2.0 launch, so without its launch, ETH has again crossed 600$ and now you could understand after the launch of ETH 2.0 it would grow more and that time you would get a good opportunity to make a profit.

Ethereum will be more than just $600, but you need to wait for that time because that will be a mystery that no one will know when it will happen.
I heard that the staking process has already begun, but I am not sure that maybe you can search for other news so that you can know more details.
With the price now, Ethereum will have a chance to break the highest price, and many of us want to see ethereum can hit more than the last ATH.
If he can buy ethereum at a low price, he can take his profit now, but maybe he can hold it for more because the price can increase again after this.
But he needs to analyze more to find what will happen to ethereum at the market, so he will know what he needs to do.

You have nothing to worry about, Ethereum is going over 600$ whether you believe it or not, the adoption rate is insane due to the ETH2.0 and of cos proof of staking, I read on news that many have already deposit eth for the staking, this December everything will take an unexpected turn for Ethereum, you made the right choice

I think the price of $580 is still very reasonable, you will not lose if you hold on because I am sure the price of $600 will be reach soon. Right now the market price is in a bullish period, so don't worry if you hold ETH at $580 because when Ethereum 2.0 is launched I believe the ETH price will exceed $600.

It already surpass the that figure so maybe there are more price pump coming since as you said ETH 2.0 is on hype right now and binance is also doing a eth 2.0 celebration which for sure adds the hype and create demand for ETH so maybe for now let's monitor the eth market and set on best position since maybe we can see a good pump with it these days.

Investing on a stable altcoin like Ethereum is somewhat low risk investment, compared to others. Few years back it went pass USD 1000 but later with the collapse in the market, it came down to USD 150 as well. Now with the new boom it can be expected to reach USD 1000 or more in next few months. Therefore, your investment on ETH will not be a in a vain.

Don't worry, I also just bought Ethereum at $ 550 and $ 600. Only growth awaits him soon, and there are many prerequisites for this. Considering Ethereum 2.0 as well, I predict its price of $ 1,000 by the end of December.

Ethereum and Bitcoin are such a great investment, it might not be the best if you put all your funds in it since the volatility might scare you, but overall it's a strong investment for a long-term cause eventually it will rise. Popular Crypto is a great investment this year as we can see on the price changes.

the market is now on the rise and only on this basis it can be argued that you made a good purchase. Ethereum has a great future and sooner or later the price will reach your current expectations and if you are still ready to wait, then you will definitely earn ;)

Your courage deserves a lot of thumbs up, you really dare to take risks for the sake of profit, indeed now many people are considering Ethereum 2.0 because this is a good step for Ethereum, but I hope you don't get complacent because of this, always be aware of risk even though it's at the end of the year.

You don't need to worry, I suggest you better still hold for Ethereum that you have, because I see 2020 is a good year to invest in cryptocurrency (market cap is increasing very high from last year), so I'm sure the price of Ethereum will definitely continue to increase and of course this will give you profit by investing in Ethereum, then my advice is that you better hold your Ethereum until the price increases (according to my predictions by the end of 2020, it is possible for the price of Ethereum to increase by over $700).

You have only two options, one of them is to keep holding. On long run currencies like ethereum and bitcoin must show good results.  Your situation is similar to those people who bought bitcoin at 19,000$ or 20,000$ and are holding by now expecting the price increase, so they can finally recover their investment after some years.
Crypto currency is a good investment since you can wait for a long time and of course, since you pick the most reputable currencies of the market.

The second option would be to invest your eth in a trustful platform to receive passive income from it. The returns probably won't be high, but at least it's already something while you let your money idle.

I think a good investment is one that makes a profit，we don't have the ability to make accurate predictions，so we can not sell at the top point，with good luck might be we could one or twice sell at the top point，but that just luck.
