What do you feel you have learned from the crash (if anything)? I think the market has gained a little bit more stability now, and therefore it is nice to look back on your own thoughts and the decisions you made when experiencing such a crash.
Personally, I learned that I need to continuously, as markets grow, 'take off some risk' and allocate some profits from alt into ethereum and bitcoin.
In the same regards, I will also begin to allocate small percentages into $ so that I can gain more on crashes like this one.
Lastly, I once again got confirmed, that in crypto we see huge volatility and that is just something we have to live with - for now at least. Never panic sell in corrections!!!

I think this was my biggest take away after analyzing things in the last few days. It's very easy to always have all of money that you have allocated to crypto invested at all times. But in doing this you handicap yourself and can't benefit from any dips.


I already knew this before but as you said it just reaffirms what we already know. You should never allow yourself to act out of fear in any situations.

Well, for me the mail lesson was that no matter how low  the price is right now, it always can get lower. Most people expected the 10-12k as a bottom after the 20k and thought that it will get back after this level but the power of FUD showed us that BTC can be dumped much lower. If some weeks ago I was not that cinfident about the further price now I am sure that it may easily get lower simply because the recent FUD was more like a bunch of rumors and none of real actions was not yet performed.

I agree with most of you regarding lessons learned from this weeks Bitcoin Crash.
To sum it up:

1.Have a fund with fiat ready to use for these extremely nice sale periods.
2. If you was not able to sell prior to the dip, just hold on tight. I am very glad I never panic sold anything. I would have felt terrible selling at ATL.
3.It is OK to move between alt coins at the "bottom" if you can time it and feel you placed your bet on the wrong horse.
4.Never keep everything in alt coins - always have some btc or eth depending on where you trade.
5. Bitcoin is the mother - you should always strive to get more bitcoin(satoshi).
6. Dont trust the media
7. Bitcoin always corrects - it will never go to zero.

I have learned that too much people are that much obsessed with earning money, that when something goes wrong they just stop thinking, their brains turn off that function and people do things they prior to that warned against. For myself, I learned to hold, it was probably the first time when there was a crash and I didn't sell a thing.

And try to understand those "risks" you'll expected to deal with it.

Some people especially the newbie ones , obviously worried about their portfolios eventhough the loss is just, let' say around 10% to 20%. In here, they really understand that sometimes they need to sacrifice some profits by means of facing the risks when they are dealing with the price decrease scenario.

It's always really a part of trading ecosystem that the price will drastically decrease and lose it's momentum on the higher. People just have to find a good way to deal on that kind of price behaviour as we have different views and preferences on our future decision.

It is in the losses that we learn the most, we make mistakes at the beginning, it is what forges us as a trader

Don't go allin when thI crash happening, you would never buy at the dips with that way. Keep holding your coin. But you have to take the golden opportunity that only happened for once or twice a year. Do buying step by step until you can feel it's time to bounce back, then just see how much money you've got with that way.

Main thing I learned this past correction was to re-allocate my portfolio so it was balanced. I will miss out on some runs that go higher but the risk will be in line with what I can handle and not outside my comfort zone.

For me the market is still not too stable, there is still chances that it going to have correction, from this crash I learned that I need  to prepare the exit strategy, need to set the bottom price to sell the alt coin and need to spend more time to pay attention to alt, most of my alt are stuck and I will need extra patience to make profit this time since the price of alt is falling too deep

From crash it is clear that it is common and surely price will increase again. Has heard about the same in the past, now experiencing the same. Hope this will give the strength to tackle any sort of price fluctuation that happens with cryptocurrencies.

I haven't learned anything new. Just the good old strategy - HODL

Also, I've realised how far I was from my original strategy - collecting more BTC by trading alts. I was way too excited about "the hottest and cheapest altcoins". I should have fixed half of my profits in BTC and half in fiat. And leave the original deposit in alts.

But still, I remember the main rule - DON'T SELL IN [20%+] LOSS. Unless you're dying and want to spend all of your money. Or unless you planned stop-loss limits beforehand and that is a part of your strategy

volatility is almost an intrinsic property of cryptocurrencies!
if you analyze the charts in recent years there have been so many sudden dumps and pumps, so you do not have to exalt yourself too much in positive periods and you should not get depressed in negative periods because this is "normal".

Be calm and don't panic, things might get worse if you are going to panic, when bad things happen always look at the brighter side because things do happen for a reason. Have a number of alternative plans so that if some things fail,you could have a way out. Be knowledgeable enough so that you can make the best decisions for yourself. In this kind of business giving up must not be an option. Because those who quit loses their chance to earn. Every investment has a risk its just up to you on how to handle these risk in a positive or negative way.

My lesson would be - Take a little profits as the market grows and the price increases.
We never know when a crash can occur and so it is better to take a small % of the profit out as the price might go down later and you will need it to buy the dips. I had been just HOLDING  all this while and I regret it as I cant make any profits in this dip.  The second is the common one which is that we should never panic sell. It makes a loss for us and for the others as well. Crypto is volatile market and so panic decisions often are the bad ones.

One of the skill for a trader is taking advantage of new
opportunities when they arise, like saving money so there will be
enough cash to trade when dip happens. I would like to make two
suggestions:

1. Make sure you have money during the blood bath.

2. If you take profits, offset a portion of the gain by also
   selling loss position[1]

I have different perspective about learning from crash. Until now I only focus to fix my strategy become more powerful but safe. Unfortunately, there situation ( crash ) that I only have one solution and we call it " hold ". Actually, I should prepare with saving profit to buy back again and also built some another way make profit out side crypto market. I'll do that and thank you for your post.

My greatest lesson is to ignore whatever trading group you're a part of and trust your better judgement. There is an over-emphasis in this market to "not create FUD". Yet right before the crash it was incredibly obvious to me that the market was over-valued. People were putting huge, borrowed sums of money into projects they didn't even read the whitepapers for. Every mom and pop was investing in altcoins that didn't even offer decentralization. In fact most ICOs have nothing to do with decentralization, they just use ETH as a fundraising platform for traditional business models.

The day before the crash I was planning to exit, but like a greedy idiot I thought "just one more double up then I will". Of course it backfired.

I think the greatest thing that can be noted from a crash is similar to the message from this story http://www.rainbowbody.com/newarticles/farmerson.htm, We will see. In times when the markets go flying up and people say your so lucky, or in times when its falling and they say your unlucky, you should always take a we will see approach.

the most important lesson before the crash is we should sell the coin after the price increase so we don't take a risk if somehow the crash is coming and besides that, we can buy again at the lower price. I still remember this because I have a bad experience in the past that might me regret making a bad decision to hold the coins. but now, if I see the price increases more than 30%-50%, I am going to sell the coin, at least I will sell a quarter or half of the total coin amount that I have.

LOL, that has predicted by so many experts in the crypto trading. That was always happening every year. I was buying a lot of altcoin at the dip, and some of my portfolios gain a lot of return just in a week.
Newcomers will always be making the situation even worst because they are so easy to be flammed by FUD.


if this way continues and then the whales were feeling so comfortable to manipulate the market through a significant dump to make small fist feel panic.

Crash will come and will go nothing is permanent. We have seen those in stock markets as well and crypto currency as well. So if we fail to understand and think that market will never recover from this is the biggest mistake we would be doing. Instead it an opportunity to keep accumulation at lower values.

Falling is just part of the life of the market!
For me personally this is a chance to buy some coins at a lower price.

And if, for example, coin X cost $ 2, and then fell to $ 0.5 and you bought it.
Then at any time the coin X can grow to $ 2.5 and you will be in the a plus!

The main thing is to keep track of everything and not panic)

I also learn from this but im quite not sure so i need to try it first when this scenario happen again then i have a stratedgy. The strategy to sell before a crash would happen this is similar to how can i exit from a target sell point and buy back on dip.

Learnings from bitcoin that suddenly went down was to sell when earned profit already. Then if price has been down we can rebuy at our own risks. Although the market fluctuates much we should never get panic and hold our emotions. That eventually the market can recover at the time that we didnt expect.

I basically learnt to be calm during price crashes and also it felt safer selling off portfolios and holding in USD Tether as that fluctuated minimally.Another lesson is that price crashes during the new year for now are inevitable as observed over the past years

This is very tough to determine as to when the market is going to crash and when its going to rise. Heck the point of dip is more tough. A single FUD news is often enough when shills running around in reddit channels and people brainwashed by them start panic selling. This is why stay away from those.

Anyway its not possible to make money from every crash and rise. Im not into day trading so I wont comment on this. However traders did sell at 19k USD and then buy back at 6k USD. Its important to get into the bull run when its starts even if it may be a bit late because the rise is often unpredictable.

Buying in deep always have more bigger chance to get really huge profit.
The other thing to learn is if the crypto going so high very fast and it will have more chance to drop rapidly too.

You need to realize it fast. I always tell my friends if you lost today you have to win 3 times folded. You have to use  fault by fault, if you don't you will get such long nightmares. Whatever could happen and we have to be friends together with risks so we can see closer to get the best

What people can learn from crashes is that the amount of risk is high when investing on crypto currencies for a short term. But the profits are way much satisfying when the coins are held for a long time. When the price crashes, it is the best time to invest since they do eventually recover from crashes.

I agree. When the market correction - you can not sell. On the contrary, you need to buy. Because after correction, the price increase always begins. Ideal: before the correction, sell everything, that would then be purchased at the very bottom. But the most difficult thing in trading is to determine the entry point and the exit point. Anyone who knows how to do this will become a very rich man.

I learnt that some investors were already in expectation of the crash and so they were not surprised about it because they guided themselves against it. So , I won't allow myself such fall again when I get the information on the time of the year.

It has also exposed me to the strong coins and weak once with bitcoin being the strongest at least for now.

Sometimes, it's the greed that gets to us. When we see that the price is rising, we choose not to exit just yet because we believe that it will continue despite seeing all the signs of an impending crash. Instead of getting profits or even just a breakeven of our investment, we lose even more money because of our greed. A great lesson we should all have take away after experiencing a crash is to humble ourselves and learn to let go and exit once we know that an impending crash is about to come.

In this market correction, I simply hodled.  Selling for Fiat brings tax implications, 30% if you live in the U.S.  It's impossible to know if the market will correct beyond 30%, so Fiat isn't an option.  Also, if you hold the same tokens for more than a year, tax liability drops to 15%.  So I would rather find solid projects and HODL long-term. 

That entering or investing in cryptocurrency is really risky. That it is no joke when you put your money into it, so be wise with your investments. Don't put it all in coz you'll never know when you needed it and the market is in low point you can experience lose. But good thing is that bitcoin is back on track again and increasing again.

In all those learning of yours this is the most valuable that you did 

""In the same regards, I will also begin to allocate small percentages into $ so that I can gain more on crashes like this one""

Many user just investing about the coins they wanna bet and putting all of funds unto those coins they think might pump..without anticipating this kind of situation..but i have learned this quite so long ago,and still learning form this

I always remember a quote from Warren Buffet regarding the stock market, “Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful.”  Although Warren doesn’t believe in crypto, I think the quote also applies here too.  I like to take some profits off the table when the going is too good, and buy some more when people are dumping their coins.  But for the most part, I hold for the long term. 

I hope that I learned not to be greedy.  When the altcoins grew, I did not fix the profit,  I thought - that will grow even more, then I fix it) I think that many have the same situation.  It must be remembered that the market is subject to correction, and most likely will be the opportunity to buy coins cheaper.  Now it hurts me to look at the losses, but this is an experience.

The major thing that we get to learn from this crash is how controlled your emotion while trading.As it is of at most important because if this things happen like crash,first thing people think is to sell but not every dip is a crash but due to heavy selling investors makes these small dips as big crash.Secondly don't believe in FUD's and Fake news which are meant to provoke people.

I have learned to change the strategy according to the market, now only holding is not that beneficial as it was before because market has become too much volatile as compared to past.
To invest in some leading alts will be good if you can stay connected with the market and can take quick and wise decisions with respect to the variations of the market.

I'd say for me personally because this crash was more severe when it comes to alt coins its better to buy on confirmed reversal instead of trying to catch the falling knife.. I underestimated how far some coins would fall and could have made more profit waiting for that trend to break..also need to cover the bottom better with my positions.. need to ladder more sells as they go up after the crash to cover the bottom if it crashes again.. didn't get out of enough positions to effectively min/max the market.. paired with my falling knife bad decisions I probably only cleared about 12-15% profit where as it could have been 35-40%... next time I wll be more prepared and patient.. and really give the maximum time for things to fall as they do and bleed out on the ground

The Hodl train isn't that much active as it were before. The days where everyone were shouting about holding tokens for long term appears to be gone; at least for now. Holding is good but sometimes one needs to take a completely new strategy in order to stay afloat since the crypto market is constantly evolving. Great experience so far

well I learned that I must control greed and cash out or turn the coins into tether, in bull session when I saw that I can earn I couldn`t see that every rise has a fall and wanted more and more until I lost my gains.

Thats a good strategy but its hard to tell if its going to crash. What I learn from the recent crash is that don’t panic and focus on your long term goal because the market can bounce back and make your goal happen. Always set your goal so you will not be on panic when the market is crashing.

Yes greediness to earn maximum gains is tha hardest part and yet you will follow your emotions to wait more even if the price was started to fall. Like as pro traders says profit is a profit no matter how much is it as long as a profit.

Of course you should never sell and don't panic in a crash. You need not listen to those people here who are too negative about bitcoin and making threads about its demise. On the contrary, if i see those kind of threads, I simply laugh and think that they are a complete troll.

I also learned how to be mentally tough in crisis. I practice not to check that price that often as it might affect my emotions and decided to sell off everything and never comes back. And now I can say that I didn't nudge a bit and just observe how the market reacts.

There is a lot of things that i have learned from the crash and one of them is to sell if i am seeing a huge red candlestick but i should confirm if it is a dip or not and then i will do the strategy, sell low buy lower which will enable me to get back the same amount but with a little bit more amount of bitcoin in that bought price so i will just hold them and wait for the high price so i can sell.

When you have nothing in your pocket then time would go against you. How? The answer is here. As you have already cleared it, people take a decision to invest everything in bitcoins. They invested it, now, when the coins get low and they need to buy more because one particular coin is cheapest relatively. How can you be managing funds to buy more? So better is take an amount separated for such purposes.

Well fortunately, that wasn't the first big crash that i've seen since dealing with btc so i pretty much stood at the sidelines watching people panic and spreading it to others. I've believed in btc and its future potential so basically the crash, though a bit unexpected to be that low, didn't really make me shake

I am in the same condition, the solution is when the price is high convert your BTC or ETH to USDT. I was not converted when the price was high I thought it will go too high. I had a chance to convert when it was falling that time also I missed. Now all my fav coins at cheap rate but I can't buy because BTC value is low. I learnt one thing when the crash happening we have to sell our coins. suppose immediately it covers we can buy other coins or esle we will get chance to buy the same coin for less price.

Something big we can learn in this crash. For example we need to be patient and not to panic.
If we have profit already and then sell it soon when it crash so bad like this and you can buy back in low price.

The hold is the best lesson we can learn from the crashes because many investors get panic and will sell their funds for losses,but this is the right time to buy the coins to make money out of it.But what we need about to learn is about the crypto and the investments too keep away too much risks.First the investment in the crypto currency need to be an affordable amount for us then we can have patience while the prices are crashing and dumping.But the time needed to recover from this crash maybe more just HOLD and HOLD if you want your investment to worth it.

The only trait you need to observe while such darkness period is to be optimistic. Good times and bad times are continuously cycling. Once there is a good day and some other day it would be a bad. Nothing is permanent as you said it right.

So if you get loss from bitcoins trading or investing, don’t worry and don’t lose hope. Good times are there to welcome you, just regain your energy.

Yeah this one is good strategy and positive approach towards the crypot experience and getting more out of it. However he stability reason could be different than what we are learning here. I mean it could be the case that people are currently scared to put their money on stakes over the bitcoin due to its dropped prices and there is more number of those people who have already invested money into it at the higher rates so they are not going to sell it and thats wise decision too. But thats the real reason I feel which is making things look like stable. Once this situation is over I think bitcoin will start behaving the same way as it did previously but lets enjoy its stability until that time!

learning from a crash can also give us a new chance to recover our loss because when the price is down, there will be another time to see the price is up again and it is only matter of time. although it is hard to be patient, but if we can try this and we could manage the feeling, I am sure that when the price is up again, we can make a profit and sometimes, our profit will bigger than we lose so we need to learn carefully from the crash moment so we can get a new point from our mistake.

You are right, we need to discover mistakes for us to learn, it does not matter if we made mistakes for a while for as long as we will be able to rise again after that loss, just like learning from the crashed in bitcoin that almost all of us had withdrawn what they are holding and when the price goes up they tend to regret what they have made.

Dividing it will be good but that is for safety reason only. You wont see much of the gain with doing that specially when turning it into dollar.
I agree with using the altcoins as a means of making a larger profit because you can buy a lot of them instead of having 1 expensive bitcoin.
But who knows that there is a fall coming. We are blind there because we saw a great potential for every coin. I guess many have thoughts that it will gain more value and we are wrong.
There is no lesson in it. It is just how the market goes with crypto currencies.

Crash is just a part of trading. Patience, staying calm and not to panic in selling. To not hesitate to buy an undervalued coin when the time of dip, because that was an opportunity for making big profit. And sooner or later that undervalued coin will increase its value and go fly to the moon!

Of course you should never panic sell. And after a crash you always need to have some patience to wait that the market calms down, as it must find a solid floor before it can have a sustainable rise again to new heights.

This is entirely true, you should NEVER SELL on the dip because you should take care of what you have started. For example, you bought at the dip, and it rose so high, and dips again. Don't sell, you got a good position on the trade.

Yes we can say right now that the market is not stable, there are many reason behind it. It could be correction of bitcoin price or due to the panic selling of investors or any other reason. The best thing we can learn from this crash is to continuously trust that these are all temporary only and bitcoin and all other cryptocoins will regain its value and will still rise up again. The market will be alive again and we shall take home enormous profit.

The biggest learning from the previous crash is never listen to the hypers, spammers, and analyst. I should trust my personal judgement and never depend on others. Study hard to learn the technical and evaluate the hypothesis made. In trading never trust others because the motives are not clear whether it is good or bad.

People always make the wrong decisions when they're panicking, and learn from them. This is a valuable experience.

Volatility is almost an inherent attribute of cryptocurrency! Now the market is recovering.

We have learned a lot from the bitcoin price when it was down. Yes don't sell and we should learned to be patient when market is very unstable. In this trend we can earned a lot so let's just be patient in this market.

I really have learned that through that crash we have to take some loss before it becomes a great loss in the end. And be a patient trader all the time.

Yeah, each of us was learned due to our experienced about the performance of bitcoin and in some situation we can't easily control our emotions especially during downfall and we feel so depressed and disappointed, trying to hold as much as possible but in the end we sell it because we want to cut our losses which I did it before since on that time I need money and I have no choice but to sell. Now, I hold some shares of bitcoin and hoping that I can hold it as much as I can so that in the future I have a great amount of profit which only a matter of time can tell.

This big crash is a another experience, i learned a lot from it.
Like, even though your coin is very popular and very good theres always a posibility that it may fall, so always be ready. Trusting your coin is very important and always have faith on it. Invest more when its price fall and gain profit when its high.
And i know all this experience will teach me more and it will make me become a good bitcoiner.

The crash itself last mid-January to early-February taught me an important lesson. Not to be too much greedy on my holdings. I failed to diversify my options during the time we experience the great crash.

Like Datum for example, I want to sell some, but I am in FOMO (Fear On Missing Out) mode that it can reach beyond $0.13. Now the value is almost $0.06, and if I cashed out at least half of it, I might end up having a good amount to buy some coins/tokens that I don't want to miss, and the other percentage will be for my basic needs.

It's what my Australian taught me not to have too much greediness by holding all of it rather than to sell some and diversify to buy other altcoins.

It doesn't really learn me something new, but it reminds me that investing can be a dangerous game. After the euphoria we knew in December, I  have lost sight of the risks involved in crypto . But finally the crash had benefits, I had be able to buy other coins at an interesting price

For me there is always a big risk in crypto market no one knows what's gonna happen next so i need to be extra careful on making my decision. It is hard to know if the market is gonna crash or gonna rise but by taking some analysis you can find a hint although there still no assurance your gonna profit well.

if you learn to hold from this crash than this is the best income and experience for you..

But the beauty of it is by the crypto risk we can earn more $ on it, remember risk are always behind in every steps on crypto trades or by investing on ICO's but the matter of safeguarding our money will be up upon us since we are the one who's evaluating some coins and evaluation to bottom until the tip of the project is must on this since we are not only putting some money but aswell as some efforts.

The greatest lesson I have learned from the crash is to inculcate in my mind that red days in crypto is same as having menstrual period wherein I want it to end immediately because I can't to do the things I was accustomed to, I learned how to hod literally.

The greatest experience you acquire during a crash, is probably to learn to stay cool and normal during its course (maybe play some new RPG game or start a new TV series so that you don't pay attention  ;D), it always passes and destroys some panicking noobs with it, but not you strong people.  :)

The drive of the people make them a loser for the current huge dip comes and that one is the biggest lesson I learn from the crash since from this event I really make sure that I secure my capital first and next the profit so that if the huge dump will came I will not lose huge money just what like happen now, But let's also think that this dip will be a golden days for us to recover what are the losses we've got since we can earn with the dump alts.

I learned One thing, being patient is the main key to survive in the crash. As long as you have your goal and as long as you know how to become patient and have a wise decision you can conquer this no matter what. We must know that crash is like problems in life in order to conquer those downs and problem you must need to become positive and become a believer you must believe what your plans.

I became more aware about selling in the correction period. Never sell at the price lower than you`ve bought. when the coin is gaining profits, don`t believe that it will be infinite, you need to cash out the profits.

It is true that the crash that bitcoin experienced is just a common thing for it to develop and improve its system and transaction as well as its value in the market. And information or the process of learning the right information about the crash is a good thing to bitcoin where it could increased people support and may continue to support bitcoin in terms of having an investment to a an open opportunity of bitcoin when its price is low or dump.

Always verify the cause of the crash, weather it is manipulation or correction. Through this, you can come up with the plan when to put more into your investment or pull your money out. I gain some profits even when the market was falling because of this.

Patience is the key together with a proper control of your emotions since seeing price crashes wont really be an easy thing specially when you are not ready on it. Seeing reds might really give you a panic anytime when you do see it on the very few times on your trading career which would mostly end up on making cut losses or panic selling. Learnings will be there once you do gain experience along the way.

You are correct about this. However the point of selling varies according to individuals and is not always the correction point. Some people may be hodling for a long time and they simply sold at whatever profit point they arrive at and are happy with it because they are technically in profit.

To be safer its good to sell while the bull run is going. Dont go into thinking that it will go 100x times and holding because the drop will come very son before you know it. You can also try selling fractions of what you have so you always have something for holding/selling later on.

Some good point but at the same time, you also have to understand the risk of what you are doing which simply balls down to you making such decisions actually relates to you trading and if you do not have a substantive knowledge on how to trade and end up doing it anyways, you may end up losing much and may just be better off holding.

Trading is not as easy as that, and you need some strategies to watch out for to be able to make decisions, so you do not end up making a blind one.

The moment when bitcoin had over correction of price many of us the users getting too emotions on what to decides during downtrend. We have so many things had learned but the good side that we have to do is learned to have patience. Because this way you can come up the challenges in bitcoin.

The greatest thing to learn is that not a single market is Risk free ... you can only enjoy the Roller coaster ride if you have rise and falls well balanced as it keeps the adrenaline rush as high as it should be. ( Positive thing to say will be that I am the survivor of the crypto blood bath ) ;)

What is important is we accept that mistake and for future reference we will be able to avoid same thing to happen with our investment, we should learn from this past crash that bouncing back is always there for crypto projects, bitcoin together with all those real alts project have something to offer we just needed to be well aware of this, trusting the project that we support is very important so we an wait patiently until it will rise to the moon.

I have learned that we need to take more rational decisions in this most volatile of markets. I need to aim for certain exit points and stick to them in order to make some small gains on the way up and place buy orders for coins that I like in all the dips and retracements. Unfortunately I do not do this as often as I should so wll start doing that now so I do not lose out anymore like I used to in the past. I could have been a six or seven figure earner by now if I did not do the big mistakes I made in the past so I am trying now hard to learn from them and hopefully in 2018 do much better than last year or the years before that.

For me i dont know when it rise or fall, and i dont trust on technical analyst so i wait for dump season and buy.
I dont know whether the price will go up but sure it will and gain profit

I have learned to be more patient and I don't need to check on my portfolios every time because that leads to emotions you don't understand and makes you think you'll just sell your coins with losses because you panicked. I also realized and learned that in this kind of drastic crash, it is better to trade for long term too.

Holding is still the best and effective way to gain profit in times like this even for a long term investment.Panic selling will just add to the dumps so learn to be more patient and study first the market before making some actions so you won't have regrets in the end.

Catching a falling knife is one thing that most people have always done and they always end up not liking the effect. The good thing about cryptocurrencies however, is that there is always that second chance for everyone as the market always recover in a better way as time goes on, thereby giving those who can be patient enough to benefit from their waiting period even though it can be tiring and boring sometimes.

Yeah, holding is good, but learning how to trade and taking advantage of the fluctuations and swings is better. However, it takes a lot to be able to do this and without great knowledge it would be better holding than trying to trade as you may even lose a lot more than if you have just stick to holding. However, with trading and doing it well, there is no doubt that you will always make the best from your holding as long as you are smart and know how to enter your positions rightly.

Anyone who sells at dip, most especially when everyone has finished selling will only have themselves to blame in the long run and know how stupid they must have been to do that.

In the long run, bitcoin will still always do well in value and even despite all that has happened in the past, and the rate at which bitcoin has recovered, we should know better by now that bitcoin still have a long way to go and only those who hold on to it, will always benefit more except you are a pro trader.

Not everybody is as good in trading as you and I are. They are humans and they are prone to acting as per their emotions when they see their money go down the drain. After all it is their money and though people advice others not to invest more that what they can afford to lose, some over-enthusiastic people may end up going "all in" on any crypto.

These are the people who panic at crash - the only advice I would give them is to have patience and not get a heart attack from the crash because the cycle will repeat.

I don't usually go along and dump right when the price reach its peak after all I'm not that good to learn whether the price is the peak unless I target to dump at a certain price. And this is the reason why I still hold a stash of token even when most coins are all getting dumped and redish.

Sometimes your decision to hold for little longer cost you a deep regret, yeah especially when you hold an altcoin that has no clear future function, so just becareful a crash could be a continuous crash leading to a real loss. Don't follow the bearish, against the trends are too risky for anyone who think aren't skillful enough.

What I learned was that I really need to learn TA. I've missed on so much profit because of this... TA gives you entry and exit points which are very helpful.

The current crash have really thought me alot. To have spare BTC and ETH, never go all in alts. Keep FIAT as backup incase of dippest of dip. Invest in good alts and avoid investing huge in useless alts. No matter what have an escape route, it will always come in handy.

From the previous crashes, I learn to standby some fiat and buy in dips. There is no way I can get such good prices other than in crashes.

I do agree that the market flow is still unstable, few times it was find but most often it is slow motion moving so what I learn is to always keep some in case there is a sudden opportunity to to buy at the unexpectedly lowest price. It is useful also to set limitations on your buy and sell to be able to put margin on your profit. I like the fact that panic selling will not make the situation in general better but to patiently hold and wait.

Well there wouldn't be much profit as well if it would stabilize too much right? One takeaway i think is that we have to learn how to take advantage of any situation this market throws at us. Many people are already keen in doing it and they've profited a lot during the crash.

One thing I learnt from this dip is not to be selfish and always take profits where I can and to always keep profits in btc or big altcoins that don't loose alot

If you really have to do trading at dips then better doo since it was too hard to identify what the market movements will be, it will be much better to take courage since we really need to earn.

How do you even think about getting a profit out of the market when the market is red? Also how does a person become selfish if they bank their own gains? that was why they started trading in the first place - they did not do it to waste their time but to make money obviously.

Its important to sell at times to make sure you have a decent return of investment - considering your initial buying money to be the investment. There is nothing wrong in this.


Another shitposter.
Nobody sells at the dip. The dip is the time to buy. Buy those coins which you may have missed at ICO but wanted to buy.

That’s quite a good thing to do, but by doing that you’re still relying on the same method. Maybe it’s better you should engage in other ways to sustain yourself than having to rely investing on several coins and waiting for them to grow, so you could make profit. Try to engage in other things, maybe trading just like others do. One thing for sure is that the market will always fluctuate; there will be times when it goes down and times when it will go up. So right no despite the price is down, it will surely go up. This is market, it’s a normal thing.

Hmmm… I believe I have learnt a lot of things from all the crash I have experienced since I got into this. First, right now I’d say that what I have learnt is that I shouldn’t panic whenever price is going down or maybe try to sell out due to being afraid of losing money. I have experienced this several times, and whenever I tried selling out that’s when I feel like I’m loosing. Anyway, I have stopped relying on HODLing cause there are other means out there that can help me earn better than that. So I will just add that the second thing I have learnt is that we shouldn’t be relying on HODLing much.

Well the learning is never get too excited and too confident about the bitcoin going up and buy at ATH prices! Lolz, I made little mistake when I invested my money at the time of BTC @12K USD rates because I was crazy to think that it will rise again to the 19K USD which was its ATH rate. However I was not wrong but I do realise that I made mistake out of the excitement and nothing else.

Another learning from the bitcoin drop is simple, it is the right to buy the coins and we can now know the power of BTC uprise in terms of profits.

The lesson that I have learned during the crash is not to hold too much or not to be greedy in my holdings. I took dad's advice when it comes to holding all of my coins and tokens and not withdrawing either one of them, while continuing my online job back then. The biggest holding that I have that time was Trade.io, which is worth more than $1.6 before the epic crash. I could have cashed out some of them, but I would rather stick to being bullish with them because their roadmap is somewhat very promising to me, especially their IPO in the Q4 of 2018.

We should not put all of our eggs in a single basket. Always diversify our options to sustain ourselves in this bearish market.

Honestly, I've started investing in bitcoin in the late 2017 even though I already heard about bitcoin back in 2013. What I've learned from the market, never expect too much from your portfolio. You never know how deep the market will sink. Sell when you still can make at least 5% profit if you really need fresh cash. But my advice is, keep your mind on, don't panic selling even when the whole market crashes because we all know it's just correction. It's just about time we see our portfolio green again.

yes ,, what we have to do now is calm and no need to panic, and we should not give up or despair, even though we are currently experiencing a lot of price reductions we have to keep the spirit and optimism that everything will segers back.

I think the experience you have summed up is correct. When we invest in a project, the first thing we must do is to think about the worst plan. Then when the market conditions are better than we expected, we will not be so pessimistic.

When bitcoin crashed or more appropriate "dump" i discovered that you can actually earn money even when bitcoin goes down but of course you need to sell a perfect time to get the best results as possible.

When crashed happen we have learned many things that never panic of all your hodlings coins. And actually sell when you had already earned profit. Also, keep in mind it would not takes long the moment of dump market so usually it will go up and in down market take it as a challenge for your portfolio.

I think your idea is correct. In the face of this declining market, we should calm down. If you sell your Bitcoin now, then you are definitely losing money. I believe Bitcoin will erupt, so I still insist on holding my Bitcoin.

Crash helped us to see the real value of Bitcoin. It may reach to 20000 dollars again but to be stabilized at that price, there must be more miners.

There's no need to be afraid of because that $20K or more can be attainable when bitcoin demand spikes again. Same of what we experience for the past, roller coaster is visible, and same with the typhoon bitcoin will hit a massive damage after the crash and back to profitable value. I think everyone learned a lot after this crash and btc holders together with their altcoins must learn how to hold long term.

Althogh I dont want to sound cliche, I would say people who are into trading should know the risks and before putting in money they should calculate the worst case scenario as well before they start to make huge orders. Those who have lost money by buying at 9k and now shitting in their pants at lower price need to get their grip. The rise and fall is not new and it will rise again.


How exactly can you make money if you sell during a dip, if you have bought at a price higher than that?


The real value of bitcoin is zero just like fiat. A dollar bill is nothing by paper unless the legal tender has been established. Same with bitcoin. Miners have nothing to do with the crash except shilling for some.

What I learned from crash is, every crypto is tied with BTC's price. So dont ever attempt to trade BTC with Alts while Bitcoin is approaching to dump. If you did, your alts with crash too. As the result you investment will crash along with your crypto. |

So the best approach for me is to save or hedge your investment value into USDT.

Best learning from crash is to be patient and dont be panic sell.This is part of market ups and down will happen there just calm and never loose hope,due to passage of time things will get better.
Being  as an optimist and rational trader falling market is another opportunity to buy more and invest in stable coins and hols for future till market hit on peak.

I like the area you said we should not wait forever to take profit and this is just the fact of gains of buying a coin because, they increase and decrease from time to time. So the lesson of a crash is to hodl the coin and to buy more at the time.

I haven't sold a single coin until now, but I bought some of them at high prices (not ATH, but anyway quite high). In some of them, I'm quite in loss, but I'm going to keep them until the next bull run because I know I've invested only in good ones.

For sure, in this huge market crash I have learned one important thing: everyone in December was thinking the market would have reached every week new All-Time High...  but we all know things have turned out quite differently. It's better to always keep some dollars, so to have the opportunity to buy in dips and when the market becomes bearish (nothing can grow forever!), if you're satisfied with the price, better to sell and take profits!

The main lesson from the previous crash is that the holding is a bad idea. Volatility of the crypto currencies is very high, therefore the trading is very useful, I think.

While Bitcoin falling I noticed that people who have already sold their crypto currency on the high levels try to dump the markets more deep, posting a bad or even fake news.

fixing the profits at the right time is a great thing to master :)

It is not your fault because you obviously do not know how to trade and you do not know what to look out for in a trade to make a decision and for people in your shoes, it is always better to just hold than trying to gamble your position in the market. Not everyone can be a trader, but the thing is everyone can be a holder and decide not to worry about what is going on in the market as long as they are sure of the future of their holding.

The main thing is to know when to be sure you are having a change in trend. It is not all about the backup, even though you will need fiat as a stable currency anyway to hold up until you are able to get more of the bitcoin at dip, but you need to be sure as well that you are making right decisions either when selling or when buying so you would not end up missing a good chance.

I feel not getting too excited is always the good way to put it. When the price is being driven by FOMO with everyone getting greedy and nothing actually driving in demand, then you should be very careful because the aftermath is what we have just seen. However, the future is still strong and for those who are caught in the trap, they can just keep holding. The thing is sell out are meant for weak hands, and that is why it is always necessary to have huge corrections, otherwise the state of the market would be generally unhealthy.

therefore we should all be able to think higher because playing in the world of cripto it is not easy, let alone playing and selling coin it must be able to analyze the right so that we can get a profit and also avoid the loss when trading

now i realize that the timing of buying coins is very important . it is not necessarily the best time to buy when it is rising . to study its entire price history . many people say that this coin is good . we must study it independently and then decide whether to buy it .

observe the best level to buy by your own.we could learn it from much website or other source.buying moment is not arrived everyday, wait this best moment patiently.

Crash the harsh term for big loss for traders. Learning from crash is the best thing to do in fact you must learn from every mistakes just keep in mind that your mistakes will never happen again. Big pump comes with a whopping huge dump keep in mind so that you can take the right mindset and use it to be cautious in every manner of a good to be true situations.

Whenever there is mistake, there is a chance to learn. There is a saying goes, “either you win or you learn”. So make it your habit that if something isn’t going good to you, don’t just be panicked rather keep your mind positive and maintain the relax state of your mind. Because if it just turn over, you will be immediately going for selling and then ultimate loss would be in your account.

For me , bitcoin trading far more difficult to predict unlike stock exchange because as we know bitcoin value depend on supply and demand so it's value too volatile until now.
I'm ever trade Energy coin but I'm experience loss about 0.05 in next 2 hour which is INSANE , IMO but it's great experience.

That's what I actually learned. I think I believe too much in my coins that's why even I know it's good to sell I still hold and now I loss more than half of it so I just hold it again until I regain my losses. However, I'm still optimistic that when bitcoin will surge again altcoins will follow and I'll change my strategy after I regain my losses. Sometimes holding sucks.

Yes, most of the people failed to book the profit when the price is increasing, instead of selling them at high they used to sell them the low price and they will book the less profit. As an experienced will react to the market at the right time when the price is increasing.

it is very important because in the future there will be success and there are accidents as well. so it's natural in trying to have things we do not want. the important thing is never to despair because of failure or accident that we ever experienced and that too also make our lesson for the future can be better

First, you have made some good deductions from your experience, however, I will want to point out that even if you want to sell out to probably buy back at the bottom, you should be sure of what you are doing and not get yourself mixed up in FOMOs. It is the way things are, a lot have missed out thinking they are selling at the top, but it is either you learn how to do trend following to know when to sell and when to buy back or you just hold.

I guess I was greedy too at some point, most especially with the altcoins, but at the same time, I do not regret anything. It is the market, it would recover, and that is what is very much important. Many people have failed to realize this and that is why they panic easily at some huge drop in value. We basically need to understand that the market is a highly volatile one but that does not mean is no longer valuable.

The main lesson is to have a backup when the price crashed, and there are skme alternatives like:
Move the funds into USDT (Tether) or any other fiat currency which doesn't changes the value often like USD EUR
When the crash has finished start now buying the dumped coins and get in profit later.

Some says don't use tether that is why I didn't put funds in tether to escape dump. But I realize to not go with the gossips and to realize that tether is here and will stay longer than some alts.

It is sometimes difficult to predict what happens next to the market, especially a sudden fall or rise. Sometimes news can be of help as well as technical  analysis. The key ingredient is to continually learn the best approach. Decide when to enter the market and possibly an updated news on the token or coin in question. If a crash happens, possibly learn why it happened and check if there were steps you would have taken (technical analysis, etc.) to stay away from the trade. If we experience a crash then it is time to re-strategies and evaluate trading technique.

May I ask does someone here know how we can actually earn from a crash aside from learning? I don't mean like buy the lows and hold. I mean like more of the stock market? Put and Calls?

Everytime when price is not good at the saddest point that were lose we should have make  a way not to lose hope. Rather make a hope that price is normal down and up. And it may recover in time so invest on your willingly to lose.

Each of us has a different problem and we learn different lessons. So only when we enter the market are the problems worth learning and drawing experience. It is not just time and effort to learn the knowledge of others that we believe confidently in the Crypto market.

Yes. The most important thing in failure is that you should not be discouraged, it is an extremely important factor to help you succeed in the future. We may be afraid of failure, but let's look at them as a lesson.

It is not very logical to feel low by a hit for long and end up getting rid of the job. As we are humans, it is not possible for us to never screw up and we cannot expect us to be growing without making mistakes. Like it is said, to err is human. Every one experiences failure in his life and that too for more than once until he becomes expert. The right way to tackle with blunders is learning.

Learnings would be attained because of those mistakes and we do really see it as a normal thing but we should not really tolerate to make mistakes again and as a human being it would really be a normal reaction on where we do avoid things where we do see it do have a negative impact. When we do talk about price crash once you get caught on the top and do lose up money you will really be aware on how the market moves or behaves where you do apply this thing on next trades.

Once you are down, you could never ever get up again. You need to work in good aspects while things are okay and you need to work good as well even when things got changed. If you are loser sometime, don’t just stick with it. Life is so long and it is a chain of opportunities and chances so don’t just worry and devastated for a loss of one chance. There are so many more to come.

Why we could never get up again when we get down? I believe that everyone have a second chance to get their mistakes right and that's what we should do. Make our mistakes to strive more and be better for tomorrow and don't be afraid to fail because from that failure is a chance to try harder.

I think what I learned from crash is to never ever make decisions that could compromise everything that you own. I have really regretted all those things that I did back then without thinking everything through. It is hard to rise again from a crash once you've fallen down. So, the key is to be mindful, I guess.

because I think it's really difficult for us to get up again after we got to fail. but if we have a good motivation that keeps telling us that our failure is not staying forever and we have time to fix our mistake, then we can get up and we can try with a new attitude. and if we can learn from the crash, I am sure that there are many good lessons for us to still survive and we can rise again in the future and we can solve the mistake to make another profit. but yes, we need to be patient to get some good rewards for what we have done.

Just joined the forum and found very useful experience from you guys. Thanks alot

Also guys, don't forget that much more important thing than making money is protecting money. Protection of your capital should be your first priority.

The market is still not very stable, there is still a possibility that it will get a correction, from this accident you learn that you need to prepare an exit strategy, need to set the lowest price to sell alts coins and need to spend more time to pay attention alts.Membel dipping coins of choice You are jumping out of your reach. It's fun to buy some of these coins. Cryptocurrency every time a coin with a good use case goes down it will bounce back in exchange.

Today I forgot to set the selling price to cut losses, and now I have lost a lot of money. this is really bad this is my lesson. Always have to buy and sell before. This is safer if there is not much time to monitor the market.

I found out that need to wait for the price to stop falling and start growing again a little, and then only buy. I also realized that you do not need to use the entire deposit to purchase and do it gradually in parts.

I have learned from the crash that I should treat this as an opportunity to buy rather than to regret of the holdings that I have. Recently, it seems the bears are starting to take over once again because of the Bitcoin futures issue and another exchange has been investigated. It is a good thing for us to buy more during the dip because the Consensus 2018 event this May 14th is going to be a “blockbuster” moment for us to see a huge bull run, and it gets even better after that.

Crash is part of the game, and it happens due to a lot of factors like the big brush of the mainstream towards cryptocurreny, and other countries cracking it down. With this trend, it's clear that bitcoin was or is volatile. I think what we can do best is not to get trapped with all the regret and incrimination. It's learning a lesson from it that matters. What I learned and everyone's has to learn, is to take advantage of the crash for buying, holding, and selling it when the price proliferates. Also, it's important to learn how to allocate your assets and take out initial investment while keeping earnings invested in the coin after gaining a portion of percentage to lessen risk. Cryptocurrency market is getting bigger and has proved resiliency. With its uncertainties, if it crashes, let's be optimistic that it will recuperate and survive.

yes I also feel it but hard to express it into the word, I started to see a little movement of these coins. when to buy and sell, and when to hold it into fiat money. I have started trading earlier this year and the result is yes I lost big. I lost 80% of my assets, no matter how I lost at least my experience increased. happy to share stories with you sir.

Yes so we should be careful in choosing the crypto to invest.

this bearish season really hurt my portfolio losing almost 70% of my investment its really heart breaking good thing I'm able to cash out early of december where market is at peak of bullish the cons that left olin my portfolio was actually already my profit with that I'm not too panic or worried like others who lost their investment with out gsining any profit. probably the next time i encounter bearish market i should convert some in usdt to preserve
 the value of my coins from crashing.

Learning in this crash time is you have to buy more if you realy bilieve in that coin buy more when its deep and hold more when goes up sell it to earn a good profit then after dump buy again thats simple way in trading life.

it is very important in the trade it must be a lot to learn about mistakes ever made, because in the exact endeavor it is not impossible if it never fall first. and it is as our trials that in the future we all can be more careful every step we will do.

For me, the lesson is to put stop losses on time, the currency can fall at any time. When the currency is on the rise it is necessary to fix the profit in dollars.

What do you think you learned from the crash? Hmm ... Perhaps then periodically you need to fix profits. If you do not, then you become a long-term investor.
Also I was convinced that it is not necessary to sell in a minus. All by a little increases in price, I can already sell some positions and have a profit from it.

That's actually what everybody does since these two cryptocyrrencies seem to be the most profitable (though there are some other alts like NEO and Dash that have gained great popularity).
Thanks god I've never lost so much money as some people describe here on the forum but your strategy of reducing the risks to the lowest possible level seems good to me.

What I learned from this crash was that I was strong enough to resist it, until the crash came I was very sure that I wanted to be a long term holder but I have not encountered a crash big enough that will make me doubt of my position, and even after we saw such a crash I was still convinced to be a long term holder and not even for a second I thought about selling my bitcoin, so I know that no matter what the market throws at me I will resist and keep my bitcoin.

I learned a lot of things during the last 3 months dip...I was new in crypto & don't take any profit from my coin because I want more profit as a result I am in huge lose..so I think always take profit from your coin..

The market prices crashes at the huge rate and other individuals are in panic selling. This is the most risky times because the prices is unpredictable which it has a possibility to fall .For the safety of coin take a long term holder because it has a chances to bounceback at the current prices.

That would be the basic concept of all investors but not all investment that went down in the gutter will bounce back eventually if you give it more time. Some investments although you do not know what will happen, will lose its value it will never go higher than your point of entry so better you do a lot of research in your current one like reading news, following twitter page or any other social media accounts so you will always be on the loop and be updated.

yes you are right to learn from failure is the best key to be able to earn a lot of profits if you realize a lot of trading players and successful people before becoming successful and wealthy he never became very difficult and often fail but from that failure he can learn and try hard not to repeat the failures that have ever experienced.

this is another solution to prevent the crash and although we are getting lost, the amount is not too big if we applied this. but I think the important lesson to get out from the crash is don't get panic because once you are panic, you cannot think and your decision will make you lose much money. it is better to stay calm first when you see the crash and think about how to prevent the more losses that you might get and find a solution to get out from the crash. it is difficult and needs learning but the result will make you satisfy if you succeeded to get out from the crash.

this is where they finally knew what will be the best moves that they have to do next after this crash for being patient for everything is what we should and we able to make this things more good to be.

Learn to cut without mercy. If cutloss point is hit, cut immediately before you turn your loss into bigger ones.

The learnings and possible lessons that a trader must get is differs from any other traders. Learnings from failed trading or crash is needed to be adjusted but not totally avoiding it somehow in some cases you will encounter it again but you will do another strategy over this cases.

But it can't be emotional move because of situation became scary for you at the moment. Only if such move was planned from the start.

It is normal to lose in a crash. We should accept the fact that we are not always gain everyday or even everytime. There are always trend in the market and we need to react based upon the move of the market. If we fail to make profits in trading, don't quit! For sure, there is a new opportunity that awaits to us. Just learn from our mistakes and build a new day for trading.

Are you serious ?
Only a born failure would get down and never get up.
It is normal to fail and make mistakes once in a while, but what makes you a winner at the end is learning from it and doing it better next time. There has not been any one in this world who is totally perfect and those who are close to being perfect have made so many mistakes and learned from those experience to be able to do things better.

Hence the idea of you not being able to get down when you get up is just absurd.

Setting your cut loss is a good strategy for a trader because it can really help you on saving some money from the crash but don't panic easily look for some confirmation of a crash before you sold your holdings. Always learn from the crash don't make the same mistake again.

Not everyone has planned from the start. The new people who start trading without the knowledge of market spread wont be able to decide on what price to set buy or sell orders. They will end up buying high and selling low - leading to a huge loss and then they will go to their friends and say "Trading is usless and exchanges are scam." ;D

We all fail to notice our own mistakes. Its true that mistakes happen but then you must rectify it and learn from them not to repeat them.

Another great lesson of this big crash of the market was the following one: always stay patient, and do not be in a hurry to sell your coins as they will gain after the fall.

yes it was a great learning because you can really gain a very effective strategy. As they said we must buy low and sell high which is in lined with this tactics buying during its big dip and eventually it will go up and gained a huge profit.

What happens with experience is that we learn a lot from it. Most people who have ended up doing well in the trading world till date have been able to learn one thing or the other from the experience they have garnered over the years and some of the mistakes they have made. It is normal when you are even still new to a particular world, mistakes are bound to happen, but the main idea is to learn how to utilize those mistakes for your own good at the end.

When I was a newbie in trading, I always just go with the flow of pumpers and dumpers and because of that the coins that i bought crashed, I suffered more lost than profits. What I learned from it is that I should never ever listen to a lot of fudders again, i should learn that from now on I need to research first on the coin or token that I am going to buy if it has a potential to gain high value in the future so I will not suffer on big lost or hard crash again.

The market is still not too stable there is still a possibility that will get a correction of this accident You learn that you need to prepare an exit strategy, need to set the lowest price to sell altcoin coins and need to spend more time to pay attention to altcoin. You do not need to panic in selling. It makes a loss for you and for others as well. Cryptocurrancy is a volatile market and panic decisions are often a bad decision in your life.

It is worthwhile to study what caused a crash and figure out how to avoid the crash. It is difficult to predict when a crash is about to happen. News, statements made by certain personalities or celebrities can cause a sudden rise or fall of a cryptocurrency.  If there is a sudden rise of a cryptocurrency , it is a good practice to find out what may have caused it. If you have made investment and experienced a crash,  you decide when to leave the market. Generally,  patience plays a key role. Most times the coin/token will recover. .

But in trading it all matters and also you can earn more by reacting to that FUDs,if there is something negative about bitcoin is spreading then it is time to sell our coins because soon the price will dump and later on buy when the price get stabled then it is time to buy.

Regardless of what other people are saying, you need to follow your trading strategy and do as less acts as possible. There always exists a risk of redundant trades that will sooner disappoint you and, what is less pleasant, lock your funds for a long time while you will be waiting them rising. As for me, I don't use a really strong strategy for buying crypto – just choose 20 cryptos on several exchanges and 5 ICO's per year. Wait while at least some of them gain profits, then reinvest. It really helps me to remain calm and limit stress of crypto going down.

I think paper money with digital currencies like bitcoin in my opinion is very different because the total supply bitcoin has a very limited supply and can not rebuild again, while for bitcoin has a very high limitations because only 21 million pieces of bitcoin can not be more and can not be created again.

the extent to which We need to study first around the coins or even tokens that individuals will buy if this includes the to get high marks in the future therefore I will not have a large accident that is lost or even trapped again.

But the most important thing is to always stick to a strategy and not look back no matter what. If you want to be a long term investors, be a long term investor and if you want to be a trader, be a trader. However, a lot of people have always worried themselves about a crash since they know they really do not have anything to do about it really.

The market is very volatile and it would take being a trader who is learned to be able to make some certain decisions, but at the end, it is still all about the long or short term profit as the case may be.

Sharp falls teach first of all always reasonably approach to management of capital, risks and correctly diversify investments. Now my main portfolio consists of the cryptocurrencies from TOP-50. I learned to wait. If I enter a deal on small altcoins, I will do it only with a stop loss.

The only lesson I learnt is, buy at a low price and sell at high. Don't fall under FUD and sell coins at a lower price. HOLD and keeping patience is the only key to get profits in Trading.

That's not even a lesson, but its a old adage here. I guess that you did make past mistakes and it cost you huge money. As for FUD, nah, I'm no longer bothered by it, most of us has learn to adopt and mitigate risk when their is a FUD to the point that most of us are too feed up and totally ignored it. The learnings from all the crashed that we all have been witnessing makes everyone really prone to any attacks that it will give you a good chuckle every morning drinking your coffee. LOL. ;D

The price going down is a normal thing when it comes to high volatile investments like cryptocurrencies,  before the crash happens make sure that you know when to exit when the price is high, though no one acutally knows when it will happen, just set up a price in which you know you can profit, it doesn't mean that you arr going to pull it all out, you're just going to take the gains, and that is called profit taking, so in case the market will fall you already have a contingency plan, just make sure that your gains are high enough for you, but in the event you didn't managed to create that plan, if you are holding bitcoin, just accumalate as much as you can, since the price is low, you can use what you have accumulated to buy altcoins, in this way you are maximizing your potential gains, just make sure your altcoin has a good working project, then once the value increases again, make sure that this time you have a contingency plan, greed is one of the enemies of  an investor.

We say that the Market has given an opportunity to the new traders to get into trading when there was a crash many of the new traders purchased BTC because it was as low as 4000 USD. Day by day it is increasing the volume and the Market is recovering these days. Don't get Panic when the price falls down suddenly but wait for a good time. Understand the Market and sell it at a good price, though we can not predict when the prices go up, we can set a profit margin and sell it at a profit instead of going Loss. if the price continues falls, don't sell but Keep HODL.

Trading is useful. You said that because you have the profit from trading. For me both are still useful since we still have profit betwen both type of investment. Think and do wisely then both system will carry us big profit. However i will never judge this because we have our own preference

The thing I learned was that it was not too greedy and controlled my emotions. Previously I was too greedy to keep doing transactions and I was getting frustrated. I changed my view of how to manage my money, how to make money. I have learned to choose the best Crypto to keep in the long run. The lesson I learned is to wait patiently to understand a problem and make a profit.

Yes this is very important lesson the market wants everyone to learn. A crash makes you remodel your strategies. Makes you look back at your behavior and response to the crash. Keeping the rule that market will come again to the state of equilibrium will keep you hopeful for good days. Market Crash is not very important, it is the response to the crash that actually makes you rich or poor.

No matter how much you learn from the previous market dump, you will still find out on the long run that nobody can predict the market or precisely sell the top price or buy the lowest price at any given time.

A crash in the market is a lesson the market wants you to learn. This actually gives you the chance to modify your strategies and look back what went wrong and what need to be done to remove the flaws again. Investors in this time of crash need to stay confident and patient and wait till the market regain equilibrium. This is actually what the long term investors do and enjoy the bounties when it is boom again.

We must learn from crash,and dobt repet the things done in past.As we know after crash market rises again so if you afford buy more coin cheap prices to recover the losses,Buy and hold with patience till market go up then cash out to recover your money.So dont be panic and early sell.

That's right, we have to get used to that change. although without any bad news about Crypto market, but prices are still going down inexplicably. Anyway, we still have to make a living with the Crypto market, getting acquainted is the best way.
I think we should see it as an opportunity to buy low and sell high. We should not hold any altcoin. Let's move all about USDT, wait for the market to fall and buy. great strategy guy? ;D

I think that every crash teaches something and each person learns something for himself or herself. The main thing to learn is that it is necessary to be very careful with investments and always think hard before doing some operations which involve risks

The best teacher in life is experience ,
We should learn from that if you don’t think about ypur mistake and don’t do something about your mistake it would just keep on happening.
So as a trade you should learn from what you did before.

agree with u... I think we should invest, lost then invest and lost again... we will have many experience to use when trading

and if we can learn from our mistake, we can prevent to make the same mistake in the future and besides that, we can increase our skills so we can reach our goals. everyone making a mistake and learning from the crash but the point is how we could still survive the crash and how we can rise again so we can do better in the future.

In due time you'll realize that the market always crashes, in the same way that it'll always rise, and you should take advantage of that. I've always believed that experience is the best teacher.

This is one of the most important behaviors of the investor that decides the rise or pitfall of the crypto business journey of an investor. A crash really gives you the signal that the existing strategies need to be modified. Holding your coins during the crash is one of the best strategies. This helps avoiding the loss during disequilibrium in the market. The flexible market forces return the market back into equilibrium. Short term investors often face loss during the crash but again they should not trade and should hold if the prevailing market values are low than the initial values.

I always learn something new from such things... Crysis teaches us how patience is important. As well as experience and belief.

This is the best thing that we should learn in a crash. Learn how to get up and continue to trust the system. Because I have seen hundred of post in this recent crash newbies complaining how hard it is. But this is a continuing process, it something goes down, logically at certain point in time, it will go up.

Everyone should really need to understand that. My point is, crash is something very hard to take, but you have to fight that emotion and be positive about it because sooner the market will rebound and you will be happy that you stay and didn't panic from such crashes.

This is one of the most important lessons that a trader needs to learn, at some point you need to rely in yourself, you cannot listen to the opinions of every single person, at some point you need to watch the facts, analyze them and come to your own conclusions and if you are wrong then you're going to learn from your mistakes and eventually those kind of mistakes will become very rare and you'll be able to predict the market accurately.

As much as you will spend your time in market and you will keep on investing and trading you will learn a lot of things with this, the most important thing people use to learn in crypto currency is the patience and to control your emotions, so if you see the price of bitcoin is falling down just hold your bitcoin with patience and later on you can trade with high price, buy always at the fallen price as it gives more profit.

Any negative experience teaches to be more attentive and careful in choices of the places where to trade. You should feel when it is high time to sell or it is better to hold for the long-term.

Before, the crashes made me depressed very much. Now I understand that each fall is the coolest lesson that teaches you something new each time you lose the money.

I agree with you and I believe what you said that experience is the best teacher. and if we have many experiencing about the crash, then I am sure that we can always solve the problem when the crash is coming and we can get out from the crash and still make a profit. but there is a sometimes that we get a new experience since the crash situations are not the same as before so we could still try to solve the problem. and if we can solve this crash, then we can increase our skill in trading.

No matter what experience we had it doesn't mean that your more knowledgeable than other traders. You must keep your feet off the ground after you gain those knowledge from a certain crash of you coins, and never give up. Make it as your challenge to face on and be able to survive.

This is where everything lies. The first step of earning money through crypto currencies is choosing an asset. If it will be a wrong one, there is no way that anything right can happen to the investor in future. A coin that has no potential to grow or turns out to be a scam will only harm the capital. Therefore, I advise to stick with the old and well known potential coins like BTC or ETH.

One of the best thing i learned from the crash is the spirit of patient which will instill the courage to Hold and not to  panic. If i had panicked and sell off my loss would have been monumental but because I hold  iam coming up gradually.

Why should anyone even be losing hope over something they cannot control ?

This is a market, it is normal to have fluctuations and anyone who is not comfortable holding and see this here and there dwindle in prices should either just get out of the market entirely or learn how to trade to their advantage. It is one thing that no one can ever change and it is the way the market has been fashioned and not just the cryptocurrency market, but every market.

Well, i think that we are still recovering from that crash, and i think that it will take some time until we can recover back at 100%, and to see bitcoin going up towards 15k... it will take some months.
But yes, everything is useful as experience.

The only thing that I learned from this year's crash is to sell my altcoins quickly before it happens. The market fluctuates much faster unlike last year that your long month of holding pays off but now not anymore.

If I knew that the markets falls 40% of the value since the price spiked high, maybe I sold those holdings I have and use the money for house repair. The learnings from crash made me learn, and it gives me a reason to sell an asset while the value is high so I won't wait for another chance.

I've learned that I should not fear when the market crash. At first, I am scare to buy coins because I am thinking that cryptocurrency may lose its value. But as I studied cryptocurrency, I learn how it really works. By that, I learned that buying during dips will help us to become more profitable.

that is good for you because you can learn from the crash itself and I hope that you can use your knowledge to analyze the market before you decide to buy and sell. we are learning from a crash in many ways and I am sure that so far, we can take a good lesson from the crash itself so we could survive in the cryptocurrency. I think we are going to see the crash in the future and we still need to be careful and prepare for the crash if it's happening and we can solve the way to get out from the crash.

I learned that always choose the best time to exit and re-enter. I lost so much to learn that special lesson and hope that it will not make the same mistake again

If I don't crash in trading, maybe I can't collect my Bitcoin until now.

Accidents in trading are necessary so that we can get to know the wider market.

There’s a huge volatility in crypto world, one day it is at 8k, the next day it’s already down to 7k.  This is talking about bitcoin - the most stable of all.  What more for low cap altcoins - 50% swing in a day is sometimes normal.

In investing/trading in altcoins, i suggest to diversify the portfolio. Or put much into bitcoin for mor stability.

What I have learnt and gained from these crashes are that, its good to take constant profits as the value of your holdings go up rather than allow the price to crash down when the bear market sets in. This is what I learnt and I learnt this the hard way

Yeah and it will make your nerves solid since you'll know how it feels and how it is to see your funds go down first hand. You'll learn a lot more in these circumstances than when you're always being lucky.

I learned that it will happen again. Put my buy orders low and if I miss, just wait for another one. It start to look like its easier to chase bears than bulls!

There are many lessons to be learnt during this market decline.  It seem when bearish sentiment overshadows the market,  there is nothing one can do.  I also learnt that soloing pressure increases during bear note than any period in cryptocurrency!

I would like to share my opinion on the matter! It's pretty clear to me that crypto is here to stay! And BTC is our most relevant coin! If it survived crashes and not going under 6k after all this fud and shit, I am sure that crypto is safe! Knowing that I ask myself a question, what about altcoins? Well when btc was at its top, it loses market cap from altcoins, that mean they got pumped pretty hard! So with history repeating, we can wait for the next pump a year or 2 years, and alts are going to be pumped much more than BTC (and ofc later crash harder, but it's the circle of life). So knowing that, I am (and suggesting everyone to...) looking for great undervalued coins, and we have them a lot now. Nice promising projects, with good team and potential to stick here for years to come, waiting for that next pump!

I have seen to control my feelings and I hope I have learned to become less greedy because of this greed I have missed so many opportuinities that I wish I had only the half of them now.

I really learn how to avoid loss from this high volatility market, because iam loss to much money. Now on the every trade i always use stop loss to avoid big loss. I should be always follow the trading rules and discipline with trading plan and all risk management.

1. dont be greed.
2. just sell when opportunity comes.
3. dont panic, it will make situation chaotic.

Yes, I like your strategy. I myself follow the same. For myself, I see a huge sense in this.
First, I accumulate bitcoin and ether. Because I believe in these coins.
Secondly, having a part of the deposit in USD or USDT, I can trade at any time. I don’t get upset when the bitcoin price falls, on the contrary, it gives me the opportunity to buy bitcoin on a previously set aside USD or USDT for a low price and sell it later at a higher price. This is a great strategy, I recommend to everyone.

I think bitcoin is not much different from other businesses such as money exchange or stock trading, meaning that there are similarities that the currency or stock is unstable and always fluctuates according to developments that occur due to positive or negative sentiments. Therefore, you must always observe and make a decision to sell or buy, as soon as possible when profits have been obtained.

It taught me a lot, especially if something seems to be impossible, in the crypto market, it is not. And we have to take that into consideration, while making decisions about our portfolio. Everything is possible, in the good and bad way as well.
