i have 0.5 btc on my hand
but the problem is btc is falling day by day
its hits me in my heart like a spike
cs i buy this btc on 12000$
 now im in loss of 5000$
it has fall onto 7000$
what shoud i do?
should i keep it???

You only lose money when you sell. You have to remember that, to prevent you from losing money in the future. If the price goes up to $20 000, later this year, then you might say that you made a profit of $8000. <Once again if you sold it>

Unfortunately we cannot tell you what to do with your investment. A lot of people was in the same position last year, because they bought coins when the price was high and then they held on to those coins and was rewarded with a 800% profit on their investment.

You have to decide, Sell now and lose money or hodl and possibly make a huge profit. 

I think everyone does not want to lose, if you sell it the same as you burn your own money, the best solution is to hold your bitcoin, but maybe you should be patient because usually the bitcoin price will start to rise in the middle of the year.

You should sell and get away from bitcoin because you are just stupid and you deserve to lose money , you are crying like a baby because bitcoin price falling this days but you can not see the fact that the amount of bitcoin that you are holding is a mine of gold , just look at bitcoin price in March 2017 , it was 950 $ , if the market cap goes up with the same rhythm then you can see how could be your profit and then you can understand how stupid you are to panic now .

Really this is the of depression and worry for the investor of Bitcoin. But you have no option except holding the Bitcoin. The market will recover slowly and it may take some take few months.

of course you must save well, if you sell already you will get a loss. still, there are many people who hold bitcoin more than you have, they remain patient and strongly determined to save bitcoin, until the price back up.

I know what you feel when you have a diminished asset with a large enough amount. but all you can do is buyback at a lower price to add a nominal coin. even when the estimate value in usd looks less. but you get a larger amount of coin. so when the price is back in the first price you buy,
you've got a profit with it.

It will be stupidity to just dump your holdings and run away. Bitcoin has its own ups and downs. It cannot always keeo on escalating upwards and end up getting super inflated. It does needs to balance out its own value. That is the beuty of the cryptocurrency. Its volatility is one of the key factors for its popularity and reach over the masses.

You should be holding those 0.5btc for more time. Its can actually turn into a jackpot someday, you never kmow.
The predictions are anyways in your favour i.e. the prices are going to rise again. Be it speculative, yet its a good move to keep on holding whatever you have. Panic selling will lead to nothing but loss.

 Will me im not depressed. Yeah its pretty sad that market is still on red flag. But im confidence that someday it will recover and it will pump. And give me a huge profit

The idea is, before you sell, you didn't lose any money. Today, bitcoin costs $ 8000, and in a year it can cost 30,000. But before investing in bitcoin, you had to say goodbye to your money, because it's a high-risk tool

you are not alone, the thing is never let your emotion drag you down, we know that in this current market all coin has fallen down including bitcoin, the key factor that help you not to loose your money is patience, bitcoin will surely rise again and give you back your loss money, just wait and hold and everything will be alright.

No pain no gain
You are loosing 5000$ now if you sell,  but if you can wait for at least 6 months from now you will laugh at your own message. Bitcoin is volatile. May be it will be down for another 1000$ but once it will start moving upward you will not only recover your money but will also be rewarded. Be patient, wait and watch.

In my opinion,you should hold your btc. I know its hard, but you need to be more patient about selling it. We can't predict what can happen next month in price or in btc. Just think positive, and be patient at any time you will success.

You are not yet loosing money. If you sell it, then only you will loose, otherwise not. However, a lot of people are in the same situation as you are. I know some person who bought bitcoin at 18k and 20k during last year's surge when everyone was very positive about it. They are making an even huge loss. But now my question to you is, what is your outlook about bitcoin? Are you in need of an emergency fund?

If you have long term outlook and if you don't need emergency fund right away, I will suggest you to put some more money into bitcoin now. It will average out the bitcoin buying price and increase the profitability in near future. But do this only if you have long term outlook for bitcoin and not looking for a short term profit. This is the best thing one investor can do in the falling market.  

Your target price will alway come. Just the matter of time!

Don't sell in the price that lower than the price that you bought <== wait until the price become higher than it.

Don't buy in the price that higher than the price that you sold <== wait until the price become lower than it.

Because the price of any coin is volatile ==> no price is too high or too low that it can not catch again

So the job of traders is...wait and wait.

Feel you bud, i bought bitcoin 0.2btc on $15-16k then it drops. :(  bad news is i need the money so i was force to sell it at low price and the rest, i'm still holding hoping it would go up again.

Do you have a plan when you bought the coin. If you are planning to hold it for long term then execute that plan and do not check the prices daily, you will just stress your self and you might sell it for a loss. The price will rise in time, just trust bitcoin.

Now if you planned it to be traded for short term you should have a cutloss price and a target price. If it is way over below your cutloss then i suggest to just hold it.

You should keep it. You know that bitcoin is volatile so the dump and pump of its price is normal. Soon, it will continue to pump again its price.. just wait. if you sell your bitcoin because of panic then you can't bring back what you loss. Think first of the possible things that might happen if you continue to hold your bitcoins. Risk is always part of holding but soon it will be worth it. We just have to wait.

If you don't want to lose your money, the better decision is hold it and believe the ability of bitcoin. Every year there's a surprise with bitcoin and its rapidly growing and he reached $20k before the end of 2017, and now it's dropping but there's a prediction this 2018 bitcoin may reached $50K.

Like everyone has said, you should hold on it and maybe a good thing to do is to forget about it for a time (don't look at the price, articles or anything related to crypto).
By doing so, you will be less stressed and it will drasticly reduce your thoughts of selling it ;)

You only have .5 BTC and now you're depressed while others have more than you have and they lost more than you lost. Thats why it is a huge risk when you try to invest in crypto. And this tag line is always be remembered, invest what you can afford to lose.

You still not attain such lost if you would let your bitcoin stay in your wallet, If you would move it out or convert it with other currency then it will be a total lost for you, Just keeps on hodling because as the day goes by bitcoin value might go pump and increase even if it is not fast enough it can make a big come back I am pretty sure of it because we are still on the Month of March and have a lot of month for the price to surely increase.

I think what you need to do is just hold.
Because the bottom of bitcoin is coming soon, you should relax and wait for the bull market to come.

if you have only 0.5 btc, it means you are in loss 2500$  ;D
I think what should you do is depend what are you thinking about btc. In the future, destiny of btc still certainly. You need learn about AF and AT, and if you want trading with them, choose with long term or short term.

Correct, don't cut your lose unless and you will not lose your money. Its value may have been crashing lately and tremendously to note but its potential to recover and earn even more is still there. Just remain calm and firm to hold throughout this year, its not like your in a hurry right? Be patient my friend think of this as a test of faith that will hit you so hard if you failed.

You're feeling depressed for holding 0,5 btc?? So how about other who hold more than that?? Do you even realized that bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is a high risk investment and if you're blinded by your greed from the first time then its your fault. The solution is either you sold all of them and quit thinking what makes you depressed or patiently wait without keep grumbling everyday about how the price drop and everything didn't going according to your plan.

If you still did not need the money then much better to hold it, who knows this coming 3rd quarter of this year is the start of bitcoin's price recovery. Many of us buy the bitcoin at a higher particular last november to december 2017 where it goes upto 20k and now after 3 months the price where cut more than half and many are so worried about that price, if you sell it today then you will more depressed but if you hold it for another 6 months again then you will have some profit, the only key here is profit.

Mate, don't be too depressed for this down fall of bitcoin. You're not the only one who actually totally in lose of bitcoin some had bought btc at more than $12k. If you will sell now think of the huge lose you can have. I have more than 1btc and I decided to hold it for long until it reach my profitable price.

Today our magazes make big sales.
Peoples who buy gpu from amazon now sell it for lose.
Not only btc holders depressed

Big players want you to sell your bitcoin. if you believe in bitcoin you have to endure and wait.

just do what you wanna do, because this is your investment and i give you a little sugesstion just hold your bitcoin rightnow   :)

It's all too much of a reality that financial markets, stocks, forex and crypto alike can really prey on the vulnerable mentally. Often times many people invest more than they can afford to lose and that leads to this scenario. At some point you have to make a decision as to what is more important out of your finances and your mental stability and happiness. This market is not for everyone, there is no shame in that.

You should still keep it, because that downfall is only temporary, it always happen throughout the year, the only thing ypu can do is either trade or hold it until the recession is gone. Patience is the key, there are good things that await for those who wait.

first i know what you feel,because i also hold some coin too and see them loss their value day by day.
but there is 2 option if dont wanna just see your asset decrease.
first trade it...sell loss and buy back at lower price so u can gain a little bit profit to cover your loss.
second use your btc to buy altcoin and hold it.u can gain more btc when altcoin up.

He is not losing 5K anyway because he's not holding 1bitcoin but only half 0.5 so by calculations if he did buy bitcoin at 12 K then he is losing only 2500 $ if we consider that the price is 7000 $ which he is not , any way as I said before , investing in bitcoin or cryptocurrencies is taking a risk from the start , if you can not handle your emotions then you are not good enough for this field  .

You should hold you bitcoin for now because you will actually lose money if you sold it right now. Better hold for it and wait for the price to go up again you should be aware of the situation right now. If you join panic selling you won't help bitcoin with that as well as you will not get back or earn more of what you are holding forever.

If you are not knowledgeable about graphs and trade then your best bet is to hold. If you have the courage to sell it right now or wait for it to go down, it's time to sell it again before it goes down again. This is based on my graph analysis.

It is your decision to sell or not,no one want to  run into loss in business but if you have choose to burn or throw your money into the trash bin it is up to you,throw it to the whales.

You will never be lost if you don't do any action i suggest to hold it.Just wait for the perfect timing for the bitcoin to reach its highest peak then grab that opportunity to sell it to your fiat currency. For you not to be that hurt I suggest bot to look at the bitcoin value daily maybe check on it monthly or maybe biweekly.

I always say that it is up to you. It is your hard earned money. Anyways you are a winner if it reaches 1 million.

12000$ is a huge money and considering that he is just new in bitcoin, It is really depressing. Bad thing is he invest in wrong timing. The best thing he can do is hold so that he can have a chance to gain the loss again or cut-loss and buy dump altcoins which is more riskier.

This is really not an easy time for us holders and I understand people aren't feeling too good. Close your wallets and go do other activities that will take your mind off of bitcoin for the meantime.

Yes, your right about that. Holding your bitcoin will be a good help and the only thing you can do to help bitcoin price value rise up. Because the price of bitcoin will also depend on the supply and demand of bitcoin. The more you hold the higher the price will be. It will be more rare and precious when its number or amount is limited already.

It is not about 0.5 or 5 or 50 BTC, it’s all about affordability that how much a person could bear the risk. For me maybe $1000 is my limit to lose and for someone else maybe $1 million. But when it comes to loses both will be worried about their investment. Unfortunately there are people around who have borrowed loans to buy BTC and such people will be in a panic situation because they will have to return the principal amount as well as the interest. Even if it’s your own money and it took long i.e. adverse to your expectation of completing the cycle, could turn into a panic situation. In such cases it needs a proper financial planning and management if you stock money in idle form for a particular period of time, you should better sort out alternatives to meet your needs and let the invested amount gain some profit for you.

Most importantly, without panic, the analysts of the G20 summit said that bitcoin could fall to 2,500 but after that its growth will again be noted, take up cold storage, I also now have bitcoin at a loss

You have lost a lot of money but it doesn't mean that it will not recover anymore, as long as your money is in Bitcoin there is still a chance that you will get a profit, the only time that you will lose is when you take your investment and sell it for fiat. You bought that Bitcoins when the price is $12000, so you have planned to invest long term, when you do that you shouldn't be worried about the price drop, the purpose why people go for long term investment is because they are confident that Bitcoin can still grow and reach new all time high (because they believe on it). What should you do? you shouldn't be asking that question, at the very start you should have known what to do when the time comes that your investment is in danger.

If you thought bitcoin was going to make you rich overnight you were wrong
Unfortunately you bought at ath but selling now would not be well though out. Did you buy more than you could afford to lose?
Nobody can make your decision for you only you know what is right for you.

If from the start, you think bitcoin and cryptocurrency is a quick rich scheme, you're wrong.
You must get in for the long run, for the excitement of how the technology develop and disrupt many aspect of people's life..
If that's your motivation, the price isn't something you need to worry.
You'll be rewarded in the future if you hold on. Good luck for all of us! HODL!!

Hey, you seem to have bought it at a very high price and I can understand your concerns which are valid.

However my advise to you is to avoid taking any rash decisions that may incur you looses. Bitcoins should easily touch 9k in 3 -5 days. Then going ahead it shall rise if you're able to hodl it, I would advise you to do it.

Bitcoins is going through a rough patch and it won't last long it has to rise don't loose hope.

Well to be honest yes i am disappointed and depressed that i lose money day by day by holding bitcoin and currently i lost 3000 dollars and i bought this at 11759 usd and if this continues i will sell my bitcoins at 7000 per coin i have to admit, holding bitcoin nowadays is very hard last year if you hold your bitcoin in just 3 month you could earn a lot of money and i think the only way to make profit is day to day trading

That fact its up your believed on bitcoin if you have much trust and believes. You will get back your investment and no can tell you about that your lose will be back easily. We need a lot of trust to make positive infact on bitcoin. Everyday will be decrease or increase.

I won't be here telling or consoling you to hold on for your dear life or anything like that, I am here to ask you why you entered into cryptocurrency investment without kmowing what it entails. There are a lot of people in your shoes and most of them have even gotten theirs when the price was $20,000, imagine the huge lost! To be a holder, you must have been perpared for whatever that will come. Every time can't be a happy day, there are thorny days too and you don't know when it hits you, so get used to it. If you can't go on, please quit.

you lose money if you sale in the dip. so, you need to keep them on hold and also try to get more to low down the average purchase price which will give you some little extra on the top :)

You are becoming depressed just because:
- you invested money that you can't afford to lose
Or
- you expect too much from your investment

That's why.. Bitcoin is still uptrend in 1y and had the best return compared to ALL stock market.. Why don't you just wait and go out? Go to the sea, in gym, do something and check once a week/month if you are not interested in trading.

I think you can do one of two things. If you are in need of the money then just sell it and forget about speculating in the crypto and bitcoin markets. If you do not need this money then save it and forget about it for the next two or three years and if the investment has tripled or gone up a lot by then, you have not lost anything. It all depends on what your expectations are and you run with that expectation. If Bitcoin does not fulfill that, then choose another type of investment vehicle for your money.

If you didn't follow the rules of crypto currency while buying bitcoin then you will worry now.Never invest more than you can't afford to lose is the rule you have to follow.
But you still didn't lose anything just hold it more longer and then your investment will give profits don't expect profits from the day 1 of your investment.

Dont loose hope brother still hold and wait for the time bitcoin will recover soon and you will get back your loss eventually and you will profit too, Dont loose hope. Just keep on believing.

I think you should keep it. It's only a temporary rain that's coming to an end. Many panic investors withdraw their money because rumors are circulating now that the price of bitcoin is going down. But rest assured bitcoin will rise soon, many wallstreet financial observers say that bitcoin will reach $ 100,000 per bitcoin in two years later.

Its very depressing to hold any cryptocurrency at the moment as the prices are taking a dip as time goes by, buyt this is a trait of the market and being volatile is its nature, the market will recover and you will reap on your patience, just hold on

Just ask yourself do we really need to answer this question to you? Do you think if I say yes go sell it then you will really feel good about it? I dont think you will feel right about it because then you will straight up loose 5000 USD in front of your eyes and I am sure that will spike the most in your heart !!!!

The wise decision is to hold it and if you really need the money, (whatever you getting) for emergency situation or something more important then just get the money from relatives or loan it for now as you will earn far more than the loan amount once you hit the 12000 back or even more!!

You won't loss if you won't sell, this is basic principle you have to remember when you are involved with crypto trading/investing.
We have seen similar corrections many times before too but trust me none of them remain too long, market will soon start to recover from this dips.
Different whale and bank's representative keep on spreading fuds so that they can create panic on market and get cheaper coins for themselves.

Don't fall on such fuds, don't panic and HOLD....

One of those tests. If you fall here you lose but if you are up to the end of this day you realize that it's right that you HOLD. All of these are included in Crypto without ever losing the win.

Holding most cryptos currently is very depressing as the crypto market is struggling and harsh to all, all the prices are falling and users are panicing, but dont be an early quitter. the market will recover and alone with it the BTC prices.

It's very depressing for get rich quick noobs, because they don't get what they are looking for, and rightfully so. If you blatantly buy at near peak levels and expect it to rocket up even further, you simply don't understand this market, and the law of supply and demand. Holders aren't complaining, you know why? Because for them nothing really has changed. Technically, people holding 10BTC for example, haven't gained anything other than on-paper value throughout the years. In other words, whether your coins were worth $1000 in total some years ago, or almost $80,000 right now, there is no difference if you don't plan to spend or sell anything in the coming years. People need distance themselves from being so fiat centric. It would help them become more resistant to short term fluctuations, and only focus on that what actually matters, and that's the long term outlook.

I think you should make the decision yourself. This is not an easy situation on the market. However, if you do not hurry up with the sale, wait until the price starts to grow again. Then you will recover the invested money. Of course, it will take some time, but you will not regret it.

If you are feeling depressed just for one BTC, you are not made to hold or trade

it's up to you, if you want to sell your loss and what if you want to hold and save you have two options that are profitable if the price rises in the future, and can lose if you sell below the purchase price. it is your right, freely you decide.

Try not to check the price of bitcoin for the meantime it will lessen your burdens and depression. Most of us didnt expect price would stay long of down fall value. Keeps on holding for the meantime for you not to loss of bitcoin.

You don't need to be depress leave them in that wallet and remove your mind from it because you will make cool money from it when the price will rise again, take it for long term OK because if you sell now you will lose money, the choice is yours either to lose or hold and make more later.

Right.Do not keep on monitoring bitcoin price particularly on this dump days because it will only add to your worries.Just stay calm and relax.Or you can make an advantage by buying bitcoins with their low prices.I suggest just keep on holding your bitcoins,you will really make huge profit if you know how to be patient at all times.

I agree with this to follow the principle to avoid losses. In order to not be depress while holding bitcoin, do some other things and focus on it. Do not watch the dip of the price in the market. Time will come that it will recover. Control your emotion and strongly keep to be patient. It is for the good of your investment.

I think you know already the outcome in investing bitcoin before you buy your 0.5BTC and I it's up to you to decide what's should be your strategy in the downfall market as you will lose your money if you sell it now or forget your 0.5 BTC for 1 year and do some other task to divert your attention about your investment. The choice is yours.

This advise is as simple as it gets. If you do not need the money then do not sell. You are not losing because you haven't sold your btc yet. You only lose when you sell. Just hold and tough it out unless you really need the money.

My personal opinion is that you have to hold them and wait. Maybe it will have to be longer, at least 5-6 months, but there is no point in selling them at a loss.
It's really hard to looking the market like that and wait, but I think you will not regret it.  :)

You’d be more depressed if you decide to sell it right now. Wait until the end of the year. Go find ways other than cryptocurrency trading to recoup your loss on paper.

Don't panic. I think it's only temporary. I still have bitcoin, and now the price of bitcoin has dropped a lot, but I believe that bitcoin will recover soon. What we need to do is to wait patiently. If you think bitcoin will continue to fall, you can choose to sell, and you need to make your own choices. When I invested in bitcoin, I knew that investing in bitcoin was risky.

You are in loss. So from my thinking you should wait for your original capital/profit.
More days need for this.
Some people getting depressed and they sold their bitcoins. But it will be better holding your coins.

If you can stay invested for another couple of months and wait for price recovery it will be better.  Don't be depressed because depression results in bad health.  Whenever the price rises and crosses your buying limit then immediately sell it.  Because I think you will not be able to afford loss.  So have patience wait and sell it at proper time.  Just don't be sad.

I can understand your moment of despair when you see the price going down and i would say that you entered the market when there was uncertainty regarding regulation and you should have waited for the market to stabilize before investing, the only solution now is to hold on to your coins for the long term, we will see a rally ,it might take a year or a couple of years from now, but holding to your coins is the best solution.

seeing your investment value decreasing day by day indeed very frustration and it's normal to being panic and fear when bitcoin price falling because although most people here says hold it because it can avoid loss but we never know until when the market red and for those who don't have much patience they will take the risk with sell their bitcoin at the current price because they doubted the price will rise up again

Do not withdraw. Now that you are suffering paper losses, it will be better for you to hold more until you get back your return on investment. Remember these are just paper losses. Meaning, you have not lost any yet UNLESS you decide to finally take your investment with you. Let us just put it this way. Now that you are having losses, just go on because you will never know when it will shoot up again. Do not panic and give up just like that along the way. Think of positive what could haves because it will influence your mindset. You have to be still in shaky waters for you to know your next move. You better be good at controlling your emotions; otherwise, your emotions will take control of you.

I had pretty much the same situation at my hand two months ago. Instead of 0.5, I had 8 Bitcoins, and the price was 14k$ back then.
I got greedy and thought maybe the price would go till 20k$ and kept holding on to my bitcoin, but then came a steep fall and bitcoin fell by 50%. It broke my heart and it took me a few days to come out of the shock. But then, I wanted to recover my somehow and decided to do something about it. So I sold my BTC at the current market price and started waiting for further falls. Luckily after that BTC witnessed 3 major falls and I was able to recover almost half of what I had lost.
So, even if you are losing, try buying BTC for lesser price every time there is a dip and then recover your losses by selling it higher. This way you will cover up your earlier lost amount.

Have more patience and just keep holding your bitcoin until the value recovers, selling now is not the right solution because you will only lose your money if you do it. I also buy bitcoin when the value is 13k$ per bitcoin a couple of months ago, it never came to my mind to sell it at 13k$ below.

Most people feel the same way as you do. They are nervous because this is a gamble. This is not an easy choice. We are haunted by the fear of loss. However if we do nothing at all; don't buy or sell. We don't really lose anything. At least use the basic principles in trading if we want to act. Buy low sell high. Never let ourselves lose money.

Exactly it's a matter of time how everything will increase, now it's starting to be a good time to buy BTC :). How has money to invest because it is worth ...

If you sell it now you'll lose more money, listen to advice of the many, hold it longer, since it won't be gone and nothing happen if you do hold, just patiently wait because that's other do too.

Right now holding it is the best decision for you to get that profit. Well, it's long for you to get that profit but it's gonna be worth all the wait because I believe that Bitcoin will go higher than its peak value before. Also this fluctuations happens so much that it is just normal to every cryptocurrencies. Never gamble or never panic sell whenever there's a price drop because I can see only loss if you do that.

Anyone can feel depressed when their holds fall. But of course we must resist it and not be afraid. Certainly when we overcome this test we can easily surpass others who are coming

You are right it is not good to keep o checking bitcoin price all the time and try to sell if you get depressed because people use bitcoin to get profit they are not here to take lose.  It is good to use some activities like you can join signature campaign to earn money and you can make your knowledge get wide there so the other benefit that you can get is you will stay in touch with your bitcoin you will be able to know about the price rise and fall.

No one know how low or high bitcoin price will goes! But i think that bitcoin will worth eventually more and more! It cant drop down in my opinion!

You may feel depressed, as long as you don't sell. Because the you will really get depressed. The price has dropped to $7700, but that's the bottom. Bitcoin will not drop lower than that. The price will stabilize between $ 7700 and $ 8500 for a while, because influential people are still spreading FUD. Twitter, Facebook and Google want to ban crypto related ads is also negative news that keeps investors away. But the price will rise again and at the end of the year bitcoin will reach 30K.

Well it your decision to make either to keep holding or sell off your bitcoin, but to be Frank with you it better to keep holding because you only lose when you sell and if you are patient enough to hold till the price rise above $20000 then you make profit when you sell. So is a risk and a decision you have to make.

Yes it is very depressed for holding bitcoin now because bitcoin price going to down day by day.We knew vry well that it is going to high soon but it is not good for us.Many people are create bad news in bitcoin. >:( >:( >:( >:(

it's silly to panic and fall into depression, then why do you even play these games, if everything is bad with your head) if there is an investment in bitcoin and now it falls, then just wait for time and the market stabilizes and the bitcoin price rises

It depends on how you think about Bitcoin

Do you see Future for Bitcoin?

I'm really sad to hear what happened to you guys because I thought my experienced of losing an amount is bigger, but it's not. The reason why I got disappointed about bitcoin is that, I cannot cashed out my btc because I don't feel like cashing out it if the price of it is not yet recovering. The plunge happened in bitcoin made me realized that I should cashed out some of it in case of emergency.

You should rethink before selling your bitcoin. My suggestion to you is hold it till you make some profit. To minimize risk you can increase your portfolio by inveating in alt coins.

Well then just sell it and take the loss, don't stress it out, it won't have good effect on you in the long term.

You have taken the risk when you first bought the coin. Obviously the risk is totally logical. Fact is, if you sell now, you are gonna lose a lot. Patience is everything in Crypto market. So, I think you should stay tight and hold it. Market will pay you big-time for your patience.

Yes holding bitcoin for long period is very tough and very hard so we can sell it quickly but selling bitcoin in a short time it will not give you profits holding long term is very hard we need some other bussiness to earn monthly .

It is not hard to not think badly about holding bitcoin. I am in a bad situation, where I have invested about 25k Euros in mining rigs and I see daily amount in Euros from total rigs is going down everyday. I am optimist though, I believe that the price will rise and not only will get my ROI back but I also will make double of the money I have invested at least in the near or not so near future. It is all psychological, I just have a peace of mind that I will continue mining and will keep my bitcoins no matter what happens.

You don't have any other option, you just have to hold your Bitcoin and be patient. You are not in a loss until you sell your bitcoin and realize the loss. Just wait for a few weeks and you'll see the market recovering again. During current time holding is the only option.

If you have loaned the amount to buy Bitcoin then I would suggest to plug the loan as soon as possible if you can hodl for sometime without the price reduction for the near future than hodling earns you best.Still it's sad you bought at such an high but there are too many people you have the same faith as your. Trust your decision and hold on to your dear life the Bitcoins you have for now.

You should never be depressed for holding bitcoin and if you are thinking that price has gone down now and if you had sold at the right time the you had made good profits but there is nothing to worry as price will reach on the top once again in next few months and the same holding will give you great profits and at that time you will be really happy for not selling your bitcoins at the wrong time by getting panic and holding it till the right time.

If price of bitcoin is really falling don’t be depressed it will increase surely, so you can wait. And I’m not sure that the price is too low. It could be for time being.

keep calm and dont panic bro. you can try to invest your bitcoin for another cryptocurrency or altcoin like me now lol. I do not want to bother with the current bitcoin price, therefore I invest some of my bitcoin in another cryptocurrency or altcoin. although still influenced by bitcoin prices, but I still benefit from it. indeed the profit is not as great as expected but it does not matter as long as I get the money LOL

Don't be mate. It's just how this market goes. This similar incident happened last year when Bitcoin fell around the 5k mark, only to see it rise to staggeringly to around 17k even to 19k dollars in just a span of two months. Therefore, even if you feel that you have already lost a good 5k dollars due to what's happening now, as long as you have your coins in holding, you can't say that with finality. Just be patient and wait for it to rise up, if you're patience is already on the edge, it would be a better idea if you would dispose it for profit as soon as you break even with your investment. Just for the peace of mind.

Many people here are same as you. I am personally holding bitcoin and I wish the price was higher.
Assume that you have sold your bitcoins. What will happen next? I am sure that you will feel more depressed than now after a big loss. But now you can hope the price will rise. The possibility of price rise is very high.
HODL.

I know how you feel but you need to hold your bitcoin and be more patience because bitcoin will recover soon. Control your self not to sell your bitcoin because its is normal in this industries and if you have extra money you can used this opportunity to buy more while its on dip as a believer of bitcoin after the big dump for sure bitcoin will rise again.

There isn't any reason to sell Bitcoin. The price is declining all the time even though there aren't as many negative news as positive ones. People simply started to take FUD too seriously which results in constatly loss of Bitcoin value. If I were you I would try to stop reading about Bitcoin if you are only interested in money. If you are interested in Bitcoin then you should focus on educating yourself, it will eventually recover in the next few weeks. Look at the Bitcoin price history and you will see that a situation like this isn't anything new.

Well I think you should have a little bit more patience to keep holding it. As of now, you say you already lost around 5000$, so if you sell out your btc you won't be able to recover it and when the price goes up again you'll regret selling it.
If you see the history of btc, it has already gone up after dropping, so we just need to give it some time to go up again.

Don't think in terms of the potential gain - it is harmful and destructive - it is obvious that none of us can tell the future and predict the best time to sell Bitcoin.
As long as you hold bitcoin there is potential to grow, unfortunately, we are having a hard time now - with all these negativity towards bitcoin and FUD flying around.
Facebook, Google and now Twitter banned crypto-related ADS (we can think shitcoins for that!) and we will need to wait for quite a bit to wipe this bad press out.

Hold it or sell it ;-) you are going to have to make that decision over and over until you sell (and then wonder if you should buy again or feel the relief in being done;-)

You know, one of the most annoying things I read on forums like this is when people wished they had bought at   xxx amount of dollars.
Buying is only a first step in a ride like this one. There will be wild swings... this could go to zero or ?

By the time I finally had enough info/cash to get into bitcoin it had run up to almost $1200. and I had been wanting to start mining for months.
I "invested" everything I could scrape together and began mining...lol @moi because the price dipped below $300 more times than I'd like to count.
At some point when bitcoin was "down" to about $350 per I gave out a bunch in 1/10th pieces (not one regret in doing that).

It has been a ride and a half and will continue to be.

Are you up for it or not?

the price is going to be pretty bad till that whale in japan uploads all his coins .He still has another 180k to go .If you dont need the money  for soemthing desperate keep on to it are transfer it to a altocin  with potential .Maybe something like waves ir kucoin shares  where u get passive staking income  till the prices rebounds again

I wouldn't even think about selling at this point, you are already at a loss, don't make it any worse by selling now. Indeed, the market is in a pretty bad state currently and I can imagine how anxious and stressful it can be, especially for long-term holders with a large sum of BTC. The only thing I would suggest is patience, we cannot predict whether the price will recover soon or not to fully recover your losses, but at least make sure you wait a few months before taking any action. In the worst case scenario, try to cut down on your loss.

Sounds like or similar to gambling like you bet already all in even you don't know what really can happen and you do it for luck only or base in that,when i'm newbie i only invest a little here like 0.001 btc evey week then after i earn in that i will invest again 20% in my earning here in my crypto trading so even i lose i can handle it the lesson in your post is don't risk all in then study it first or try it in a little only

in my own opinion you have not lost yet, you still have 0.5 in your wallet right? then you should patiently wait for it to rise up, you only lose when you sell it at a lower amount than your capital :)
the word needed for you is patience

I understand how it truly feels, but the way you respond to this kind of situation is what matters the most. Any pieces of advice will help but it's only you who can make the final decision and final say. To deal with it is to be patient, and wise enough to determine the best time to sell and gain huge returns. Just relax and play the game smartly.

Many people invest in Bitcoin at rates of $ 19,000 and $ 12,000. This time, when Bitcoin's exchange rate has fallen to just $ 8,000, this is a sharp drop in the exchange rate, causing panic and anxiety among investors. And the advice for you is to calm down and continue to hold Bitcoin until the end of 2018.

just Hold on bro. It will Pump someday .
If you have no guts to hold for long try to Buy lowpriced/Dropped price Altcoins .

Honestly I will never depressed for holding bitcoin because anytime the value will goes up and down.And we dont take panic because as long as the value of bitcoin really extended we feel free to earn of it and have faith for bitcoin spreading financially.

You shouldn't invest in the first place if you get stressed out by the price. Don't you get a warning that crypto price is extremely volatile? Yeah this is it. I would recommend you to hold it if possible, but if yoi get depressed each day then just sell it, for your peace of mind.

We really cannot get rid of the stress to see how your investment is burning out in front of your eyes, the only thing OP has to do is to wait for the market to recover and if possible try to average his position whenever the price goes down and hold for the long time, i am sure like everyone here that the market will recover in due time but it might take some time.

      Yes,you should believe in bitcoin that it will rise again. Because if you sell it right now then you really loss your coins. Don't be sad of what happened to bitcoin now because it is just temporary and it is normal always in the market that price fluctuate but it will recover of course. Don't loss your hope and be courageous enough to face this kind of situation ,your not alone...keep on holding!

Hi!mate just relax and have a long patience in holding your bitcoin,true it might give us a heartache watching btc keeps on falling down but as long as you don't sell it you still don't lose try not to keep on checking the price at this time and just don't be panic seller,time will come btc will recover and it will give you more profit soon.

I'm experiencing the same thing, sir. the coins that I hold down the price is 70%. This is our risk as Bitcoin and Altcoins traders. Should not we be prepared at first with all the risks that will arise? So, the key is patience.

Don't be depressed when holding bitcoin just keep it up nothing h to be worry about because bitcoin is a great gift given by god to anyone it a blessed

Hold on to your bitcoins because tou still aren’t really on loss not unless you sell all your holdings. The only way you can recover or at least have lesser losses is when you hold on to your coins and don’t do anything with it yet. Wait for the right timing and sell them when the time is right.

I think the best way is hold BTC at present. BTC correction was too big to sell BTC now. Just hold and wait for market pump

I panic as you my 2000 dollars gradually turn into one thousand but all speak to hold and that there will be good news because of what the market will go to top again

don't you ever think this could be the "average standard" price where btc will get locked up? have you guys ever considered this option?

I think is better to hold your bitcoin for the meantime. Be patient and wait for the right time to sell your bitcoin.

And whether many money you invested in bitcoin at the moment?
When I had not enough bitcoin I didn't even worry and also gave all advice but now I very strongly every day lose profit and my investments becomes vain

i think you loss $2500 because you bought only 0.5 btc which is $6k if 1btc = $12k
now i ask you, if you sell it now, you will loss $2500, is it alright ? of course not.
why don't keep holding until it reach above $12k ? afraid bitcoin cannot increase back ?
it is not that bitcoin will go to zero.

Yes, there are somewhat that I am worried about holding my bitcoin because it is dropping even more day by day and we all don't know if bitcoin will still going to recover in the future. Hopefully, bitcoin will recover after Months and start proving again itself to us.

Like this stock ? https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/drys

(**  set it to 5 years or MAX on the graphic, look at its value. Yes, that is millions of dollars there and look to its current value.)

Yeah! You should keep it. HOLD your bitcoin and wait. It will probably recover soon.We just need to become more patient some time.

wow. that's huge.  But how is it even possible?!!? 1 share from $34million became a penny stock??? S*** happens man.... Btc could be the same tho

Do you have any choice? I kind of take this question as a very easy case. When you have several choices and they are all good, it is expected that you will find it hard to choose which one is the best. But then with your case, there seems to be only one good option to take and that is to keep holding your Bitcoin. You bought your Bitcoin at $12,000 and then at the moment it is already valued at $7,000. That means in terms of value it has already lost some good $5,000. That is already big enough loss. If you keep it, it will rise back sooner or later. If you let it go, you will only seal your $5,000 loss. Which one is a much better choice then?

Well your future relies on your decision. Many of us are in same situation right now i think almost everybody most especially to the ones who belong buying at that same price of btc. Its really a matter of faith and luck now wether btc will skyrocket or still dip down.Goodouck to us all.

Just extend your patience just hold till the price is growing again. You can make a lot of profit if you can hold any longer because bitcoin will big again soon or later. Just do something else so you dont have time to think about your btc that always work for me u might try it

Somehow i know the feeling, i also feel that in times that bitcoin is slowly declining. But still, i dont know why i still hold it. Eventhough no investments involved here, i still have this hard feeling in bitcoins decrease in value. Butz as i read comments in your thread, i just found a very inspiring idea. Yes, you not gonna lose some of biycoin if you dont sell it. As long as you hold it, and wait for the right time to sell it. I still have faith that bitcoin will reagin its value more than what value you bought it. A $12k value as you bought your bitcoin is no joke, but as bitcoin continue to go down, you just grab the opportunity when it reaches to 13k.

Not only you who experience it, I personally also experience it, I just have to hold it until the time can not be predicted. I just do not want to receive a loss on my investment. Hold on until the prices skyrocket again.

Bitcoin is for long term investment. If you sell your money right now, then you'll face a huge loss. I would suggest you to have patience wait for few times more because the the price of bitcoin will increase really soon. Though it's quite risky to hold it. But, most of the time taking risk brings you to great success!

technically there are two choices for this kind of problem, the first one is to hold until your loss is being recovered. and the second one is to save in fiat, sell your coin first and then when it shows sign that could go up, then it is time to buy the coin again. but, when you already suffer that much losses, i think you should play safe by holding the coin.

Years ago I would have had the same feeling but over the course of the years I learnt how to manage high risk investments and so up and down side

I think I cannot answer it, because mine too is lower day by day. I just already wish that dropping will end soon. I want my btc to increase again. I hope it happen this summer.

Still keep it. I can understand your situation right now regarding your investment but right now, bitcoin is still not yet increasing right now. Better to keep your investment for the meantime....

It's really a matter of concerning issue for this platform. In recent times, Bitcoin price has been fallen down a lot and we are the small holding people losing strength and getting afraid of this situation. but I have a strong belief that Bitcoin price will go up and it will create another milestone like the December 2017. That's why I suggest people not to become upset about this situation. Keep calm and be strong. Bitcoin will get back to you as with an open hand. then you will get benefitted financially, and that time is not so far...

I myself is also holding bitcoin and the recent market events are truly not good but this happens regularly since bitcoin is very volatile and you can't do anything about it which if we look positively all we have to do is to hold and wait until its value recovers.

Yes you should keep it, remember that before buying some bitcoins or any other altcoins, you should be prepared for the downfall of it because of it's high volatility in price. If you don't believe in bitcoin after all that lost you experience you should sell it now and forget about it. Bitcoin is not a short term investment eventhough some time it hype much, the reverse effect of this came aside it. So the mere fact is hold it as much as you can because it is the only way you should do, nothing else.

HOLDING FIAT VS. HOLDING BITCOIN
With Abra, you can choose to hold your funds in fiat or in bitcoin.

By holding your funds in fiat, you can minimize the volatility of your balance, as fiat currencies are generally less volatile than cryptocurrencies. You can then decide to buy or sell bitcoin on the spot, if you choose, or send fiat to another Abra user or to someone’s external bitcoin wallet.

By holding your funds in bitcoin, you can take advantage of the upside if the price of bitcoin goes up relative to fiat. This also exposes you to the risk that the price of bitcoin goes down. Basic risk/reward.

Investing is risky that's why we often say dont invest what you cant afford to lose because it has no assurance. Like in your situation now, the value is falling hence you cant gain profit at this time and if you sell you will lose everything but if you choose to hold there's a possibility to gain profit, just have guts and dont be discourage by those who are spreading fud. It will take time to the value to recover thus if you dont need the money yet better hodl and wait until you reach your target price or atleast you get your capital back.

Have you never heard that bit coin price value decrease?
If you never had, have you never experienced when prices of goods fall in short time, and as a business person don't you know, assuming the risk of a business is a business skill, so business is liable to depreciate depending on time and season. This must be in the mind of any business personnel.
I will advise that you accept the loss and do the best with what is left.

sometimes :o

12k isn't that bad a price compared to people who had entered when the price was at 18k or above!
BTC should easily rise above this when the bullish market returns, which I speculate will be towards Christmas.

absolute yes, you must hold until bitcoin price rise again.
many bad news come here, so it will shake it price. but so sure, the price will increase little by little and back to the normal (i mean, there are abnormal on cryptocurrent)
btw, im depressed to too hold bitcoin and altcoin. their price is under attack now ;D and i dont know when it will be back, just sure it will normal again

Relax, you will be far more depressed when it will reach 3500$. However, it might also reverse before that, perhaps after marking a double bottom at 6000$, so it is quite dangerous to sell now at a loss. In such cases I just hold.

I understand your feeling being depressed in that kind of situation, but remember if you sell that with Bitcoin's current price youll loose the money you spend to buy it, so if I were you hold it and wait for the right time to sell. Just be positive, stay calm and be patient.

You should definitely keep bitcoin because now it is a bad time for selling since the price is so low

It depends on you, im myself still holding all of my coins cause i still believe the coins that im hold is a good one and all of them have a good future all of coin are dying right now but i believe somehow it will eventually recover from this stage. So i recommend you to hold on and keep your coin for right now and wait the annoucement of regulation by g20 that i believe will happen on near june or july.

yes keep it until the price of bitcoin increase, you don't want to loss your money right? then keep holding, why don't you buy another bitcoin the price is now $7500 and then sell it when bitcoin touch $10,000. 

I advise you to hold your bitcoin until bitcoin prices recover. bitcoi prices definitely go up but do not know when the price will rise again. now we just be patient in order not to get big loss if we sell it at this moment. bitcoin prices at the moment are very sad because people who have bought bitcoins at expensive prices they now only have 2 options that are holding longer to earn profits and selling now at a cheap price to reduce more losses.

I think you should definately hold your BTC. One day it can make you rich) Stop panic, prices will improve crucially. Just believe and wait!

Hi!

If you consider the past behavior of bitcoin,When price goes down that was able to became better than previous value. Any market can not raise continuously. Their will be up and down.Also That can not be continuously down. My opinion is that just wait until it reach more than 12000$ for receive profit.Because it is not a big task for bitcoin. Many countries now legalized bitcoin and background of bTC is better than past.Hence keep your bitcoin. BTC have better future. No need to depressed for holding it.      

Thanks

I have a friend that tackles me about bitcoin she was very eager to convince me to join. after i joined in i didn't know that she was into investing (coming from her earnings) she didn't participated with signature campaigns or anything that she can earn with she just focuses on trading and investing. now she is depressed with the fluctuation of the coins.

Yes, I think the best option would be if you hold everything that you have without selling. Even now is a very good option to invest in more if you have this opportunity.  :)

Even though i dont have any bitcoin for now, be patient because you will never know when the time will come to sell your coin. The value is falling hence you cant gain profit at this time and if you sell you will lose everything but if you choose to hold there's a possibility to gain profit just have guts and dont be discourage. Bitcoin price has been fallen down a lot and we are the small holding people losing strength and getting afraid of this situation but I have a strong belief that Bitcoin price will go up.

I do not have bitcoin, but I have other coins that have also fallen dramatically in value. All users are in the same situation, only someone panics and sells, and thereby loses money, and someone on the contrary-buys and waits, when prices again go up. So, do not be on the side where people panic!

As the price of bitcoin is low now you will lose money if you sell your bitcoin now. To avoid losing I will suggest you not to sell it and rather hold it for some more time. Hopefully soon the price of bitcoin will rise up and you can profit then.

What should you do? You wont be able to break even at this price, if you sold your 0.5 Bitcoin you'll be in negative so since we are talking about Bitcoin and looking at the history of Bitcoin it is better for you to keep Holding it but while you are keeping those coin in your wallet do something that will make you forget crypto for a while better if you check every month.

This is where hodling is essentially observed. Don't panic sell your bitcoin because it will eventually rise again. It may look so tough and hopeless today, but if you will just hodl it, you will at least sell it at a higher price.

I can comprehend your moment of despair when you see the cost going down and I would state that you entered the market when there was vulnerability in regards to direction and you ought to have sat tight for the market to settle before investing the main arrangement now is to hold on to your coins for the long term we will see a rally it may take a year or an a long time from now however holding your coins is the best arrangement.

I think selling is the last option if you have no other way out. I think selling or doing cutlose will certainly give effect for long term dude. because what you should get is profit if you want to be patient but what you produce is a loss. I also feel the same stress because I still hold my bitcoin but my advice is better be patient. it's just about time. bitcoin price will definitely return to pump. just waiting for the right time so be calm

You should've asked yourself about what to do during a bloodbath a long time ago before you bought BTC. Do you need the money you have invested in BTC now like an emergency? If yes, then it is fine to sell your BTC then buy back again if you still wanted to be in crypto world. If you don't need the money yet, then let it be and never panic sell. Patience is a virtue.

In the market of the bitcoin, please remember the fact that the more you stay in the market the more you are going to get the profit, another thing is that the more you put in your best, the more you are going to get the profit. There will come the times when there will be no moving in the market and for weeks there wont be generous profit, but still just trust in the bitcoin and it is going to give you back the profit you deserve in the end.

Why you are thinking negatively? Crypto currencies price are not fixed, So sometimes price will go up & sometimes may be go down. It's not a big deal. You can also observe it's previous history & there is a big hope. I believe that if you continue to hold your bitcoin it will definitely give you big profits within a year. So just calm your mind & wait for proper time.

You must learned BTC first before you panic or think why you bought BTC at the first place don't panic because you lose. Think wisely what is your next step to make profit.

It very painful to see your investment going down day by day. I also share the same views with you; but the most important thing right now is to thoroughly examine the market before thinking of holding or selling. If you have identify any altcoin which has a potential of bringing good returns then i suggest you sell. However, if you have not identified yet; then hold for long time because the price would definitely rise again

I feel where you're coming from because it is your hard earned money that you risk thinking that in the future you will be able to grow it big. However it's not the end of the line yet because as we can see bitcoin is growing and the situition that we had right now is just temporary, this too shall pass. Believe in yourself and worry no more, the more you think negatively the more it'll pull you down and it's not advisable as well because you can't think right anymore. Always remember to think positively because it will bring you on. The moment bitcoin will be able to pass this hard times I believe that price will rise bigger.

My friend buying bitcoin when price on $16k and he still holding untill now. Its because he believe that bitcoin will be future currency. He loss more than 50% from his capital but he still holding bitcoin. I think many people like you and my friends, and i think better holding for long term because many expert said that bitcoin will be rising and reaching highest price

If I were you  I have no choice but to keep holding 12k$ is not that bad entry price since bitcoin surge almost 20k$. there is always time for recovery just hold on only weak hands sold their coins in times like this

Always remember a certain principle in trading and that is buy low and sell high. At this point of time instead of worrying you should prepare your money to buy bitcoin at a lower value. Bitcoin will again increase in value and the price drop today is just an overreaction to the ban caused by twitter. The big whales are moving in together with the issue so that people will panic and sell their bitcoins at a lower value and so the whales can buy them cheap.

I think your other bitcoin holders are pretty much bouncing on hold but other bitcoin holders just calm down even if the bitcoin price is low because bitcoin is a longterm investment so you just hold it for many years

Just keep on holding your bitcoin because I believed that this dropping of price won't stay for so long.Don't always monotoring the price,just seat in the corner and wait for the  coming back of bitcoin.I'm sure all of us will get surprise like what happened last december.

Just wait for it and hold it. The key is patience. Trust in the market and let us just wait for the price to go up.

When you think about being depressed...  Think about the people that thought Bitcoins were worthless.  I was selling them for $7-$15 back in the day.  I probably deleted 40-50+ Bitcoins off a hard drive.  I still have a few addresses from 2011-12 that just sit there.  I'm married with kids, drowning in debt...... remember it could always be worse.  those bitcoins could've changed my life.

I understand what you feel and it's just normal for us to get worried with our investment but we can't do anything with it because as we all know bitcoin is volatile.I guess all of us don't want to lose so waiting is the best option this time.

I think you should keep it. If you sell now you will surely lose. You should wait patiently, I think bitcoin will increase by the end of the year but it will increase very slowly

If you dont need your money right away, just hold it until it goes up again. Anyway, investing in bitcoin is profitable if you are holding for long term so dips like this should not worry you. I have even invested in eth and look at it now, never in my like I thought it will reach this low after the years, but Im confident it will return to high price.

I think you should keep it until the bitcoin is $ 12000. You can withdraw money, if you sell now you will certainly lose a lot of money. bitcoin is recovering, you should trust it

You will lose your money when you sell it just hold it and wait for the right time to sell. That is natural for the price to go down and get high just be calm, there is time for selling at the right price. I believe bitcoins will have good future to give, we must wait for it.

You should accept the price of the current bitcoin and wait. Investing in bitcoin is a long-term investment. So you should not be too hasty. You should only sell it if you need money

I think you should continue to hold it. If you sell it now, then you have a big loss. Why don't you wait for the next wave of it to erupt. I think the next wave of outbreaks will not wait too long, let us look forward to its next wave of outbreaks.

A lot of people are now depressed for sure because they bought bitcoin maybe 10,000 USD or more and that is why they are very frustrated that they are losing a lot of money from their investment in bitcoin. As a suggestion, they should focus on cost averaging so they can lower their bought price and get a higher chance to make profit faster.

You do not have the things we never miss emotions are draping you down that we know that in this current market all the coin has fallen down with bitcoin is the key factor that helps you not to be loose right now need patience the bitcoin will surely rise again and you're back in the loss of money .just wait and hold all the things so everyone will be alright .and be patient at any time its a success .

Just keep it at this point in time. Don’t compute so you will not be frustrated. Just have faith, pray and believe that one day you will gain and not loss.

nobody want to lose money, you have to decide by your self if you think you gonna loss your money. for me im not getting depressed for holding my bitcoin because i believe that bitcoin price will rise up again. panic selling will make me nothing in the end.

It is not hard to not think badly about holding bitcoin. I am in a bad situation, where I have invested about 25k Euros in mining rigs and I see daily amount in Euros from total rigs is going down everyday. I am optimist though, I believe that the price will rise and not only will get my ROI back but I also will make double of the money I have invested at least in the near or not so near future. It is all psychological, I just have a peace of mind that I will continue mining and will keep my bitcoins no matter what happens.

Well holding bitcoins is really a risk. If you are really a risk taker in a business then be patience. Wait for the right time to when the value of the bitcoin will rise. I know it may be depressing right now but for sure it will be worth it of you just wait.

I remember when bitcoin declined 80%. It was, well, OK. If you believe in the future of this currency - just relax, drink your beer and HODL.

You could say that so I still hold some bitcoin since last month to be sold at a good price. But the wait has not been paid in fact I have to hold for a while longer. I do not know what really happened to bitcoin down to $ 2k since last week. Just keep hoping for the price to go back up but if it does not happen maybe I will sell it directly later.

It is a sure feeling to feel depress in such a way, for holding bitcoin and likewise some other cryptocurrencies, most especially now that the market seem to be going further down and no sign of an upward movement. Regardless, one should snap out of it, with the mindset of the currency coming back up.

your bitcoin stays 0.5 so why worry?only the value has change and not the volume..youre asking what to do?do you really want to hear from me?well DO NOTHING..thats the easiest way to answer this question because thats the reality,if you sell that today thats how you will loss cause the value is much lower as when you buy the coin..

There are many investors like you who bought bitcoin at higher price than the present one. You will also find people who bought bitcoin when it was 20k dollars. It is depressing but if you will hold bitcoin for few more months, things will totally change. It is still in infancy. The whole digital market has a lot of rooms to grow.  Giving up so soon would be even more painful. The end year value estimated by crypto experts is 30k dollars. A little patience is required.

I purchased at 7800 dollars, and am totally depressed now. But I love the way Hero members calm us newbies down, saying it will be ok, things will go better, bull runs soon, rocoveries etc.

How do you know guys ? The fact that it happened in the past is totally irrelevant. How can you possible know the things will get better ? Who is gonna bring new money in to the system? Not someone I know of, for sure. So please explain to me why and how the bitcoin will go up again.

Now you should keep it but it is possible to fall a little more.

When you joined bitcoin you know that there is a risk is losing your money. The market is very volatile this means that it can still go up. But it is your choice since your money is at stake. Yes no one knows when will the price goes up so be smart in dealing with it.  

I think everybody has the same feeling especially those who invest around 18k$ but we know the risk on investing in bitcoin the volatility is too high so I think the best thing to do is to relax, just need more patient too hold your bitcoin because as a believer of this great technology I know it will recover soon and don't let your emotions take over on you to become a panic seller.

That is a big lesson. A lesson that buying in during FUD and selling at FOMO is something to consider seriously.

Well he probably entered due to the hype when btc was pumping but for me, there's really nothing to be much concerned about. If you have the patience to hold, say a couple.of months, you'll get your profit. Even when trading alts you can go below 50% your capital but eventually all you need is to wait and keep steady

What makes you feel hurt is when you really sell the bitcoin at this time. For, you will lose that $5000. In my opinion, many other people also face this sad condition. But, some of them can survive because of their patience and believe that bitcoin will rise later. Now, it is your choice, if you are patient and believe that bitcoin will rise, you may hold it. But, if you aren't, it is the time you sell it and you will lose $5000 in real. Just learn more the market and research in the forum about the development and progress of the bitcoin for future.

I just regret not hold bitcoin, you will lose more if you not hold bitcoin and doesnt quit from crypro world, besides, what will you do if you dont hold bitcoin, I think bitcoin is the best asset until now which keep a good value and has a strong potential to grow

Holding is not a good strategy , those argue "hodl, hodl" are those dont know how to trade, it's the best way to lose. You should learn some basics of trading and start doing this year, that's how you make money no matter what the market condition is

Don't get emotional when price drops. It is something normal and I think you should continue to hold until at least bitcoin'r price goes back to normal

You should positively keep it though as you can see lot of holders and different users around the crypto world become panicking so i think you should better hold it , and bitcoin is volatile though just wait.

You should not be depressed for holding your bitcoin because what others say if you sell it today that bitcoin's value is low then you expect that you lose your money. For me, I will still holding my bitcoin until the value will get reach that what you've expected. It is the mind over matter when you will sell your bitcoin.

I cannot tell you what to do with your 0.5 BTC. If you have confidence in Bitcoin, you shouldn’t worry and know that bitcoin price will recover one day.

I don't know why are you feeling depressed for holding Bitcoin. but if you are feeling depressed for holding Bitcoin because of its low price then don't worry.it is a common feature of Bitcoin.

yeah little bit depressed but not at all, because im not only focus on trading, im also work in bounty campaign, so even the price keep decline, im not lossing anything. i cant imagine if im only play on trading, maybe ill leave cryptocurrency right now haha

Which one do you prefer? Prefer to be more patient with all risks by holding it or losing your funds right now by selling it? Almost We all lose our amounts this time. But I still trust this coin and other altcoins to raise someday. Therefore, I will keep it. Even it will take too many risks. But this is my best choice right now.

Just better think what will happen if you sell it. Naturally, it will be a big loss of money. Bitcoin has the greatest volatility and we are all waiting that it will go up again. Take your time to wait for it.

The only problem about traders today investors is that, they are investing a huge amount when the price in the market is in the highest value and after a few months then it will obviously decrease its price, so always try to check the coin's stable price before investing.

Market manipulation and the resulting price suppression doesn’t occur until the market allows it
and we are allowing it. Thats the most depressing part of it.. :-\

I have the same situation with you. I paid $16000 to buy a bitcoin , now the price of the bitcoin is only $6700, search lost a lot of money, but I still don't choose to sell my coin, I think the bitcoin will stop falling and began to recover

lol believing into the bitcoin sect wont make you rich, as does believing in the US dollar, and US american financial system that is abused by a billionaire elite around it. heading for collapse.

i bet we will see bitcoin moving towards 1000 US dollar again and even less, or you might see the us dollar beeing worth much less than before, you guys dont get the problem why bitcoin is weak now

at the beginning no one dared to create a cryptocurrency bitcoin started a new trend, now it has to compete for attention with thausands of cryptocurrencies, and ico.

good luck competing.

you will see ethereum beeing above bitcoin, in terms of value.

and later you will see multiplattform token like i am working on, then you will also lose value from ethereum, stop speculating,

regards

says the victim of the pyramid style ponzi scheme with absolute new forum account.

the ones that are at the end will loose the most.

what a surprise....

Hold it as long as you can because btcs never let one go empty hand when held for long.

I think a lot of people have the same situation as you. They buy when the currency higher, now the price of the currency fell a lot, a lot of people lost a lot of money, but this is only temporary, I think the price of the currency will soon stop down and started to recover, we should do now is waiting patiently

That’s right. One should stay optimistic rather that pessimistic. Pessimism just does not help you win back the money you have already invested. Wait until the prices go up and you are all well-off. You will get profit when its value jumps again and you sell you bitcoin that time will give you huge profit instead of going towards negativities will give you nothing just loss.

I think you should don't think too much worry if this happen to the price of btc, once you invest in bitcoin you know that you take risk and have a long patience. Because btc price is changing. So just hold it until the price will back.

 No one is happy about the current BTC situation, the dip has taken tol on many and most are worried about what is in store for BTC but there is no immediate cause for alarm , relax all shall be fine just keep holding, your reward is about to be paid,

If you have hope in this system and trust Bitcoin power you will never lose hope. This is exactly what whales want, they want everyone lose their hope and sell bitcoin. But one should be strong in this hard time and hold for good days.

Exactly..
I don't even call holding as a strategy. many people, mostly newbies, do this cause of bandwagon. they don't know what is the lowest price. holding is just a thing you start doing when you find for sure that bitcoin is in the lowest price.

A lot of traders have been in a far worst situation than yours. But they still earned huge profit. Why? Because they learned not to panic in a market fluctuation. You have to understand that the market does not operate in a continuous up trend. A dip will happen (as what we are experiencing at the moment). It’s inevitable! Not many of us have BTC0.5 in our stash. But you do. If you hold and Bitcoin hits another high, I’m pretty sure you’ll be wearing a big winning smile...So it’s your call.

Anyone who will lose a huge amount of profit from investing will really get depressed, the best thing to do is just keep holding your coin in order to reduce the probability of losing your profit even more.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3225910.0

In early 2018 there were so many people who experienced the same thing as you. I also experienced the same thing. Because the main reason is we can not predict when the rise and fall of Bitcoin and Altcoins prices in the market. And the risk of falling prices is a reasonable risk, when you try to invest.

What is your reason to buy bitcoin ? Is that for a long term ?
If  not then you have a wrong perception. People buying bitcoin should have a perception that bitcoin is for long term. Also in that price i think its still have a good future

You can still cut losses but that will surely give you even a painful heart. Just don't depend on your feelings and don't look at the day to day charts, this will trigger to be more in pressure and painful. I know what you are feeling but we can't do something right now, stay away from looking bitcoin price tracker and do something different if your only investment is bitcoin.

Try to backtrack the price of bitcoin last year, it even dropped to 5k usd in the middle part of the year. But those who stayed calm and trusted the technology eventually became big earners in the latter part of last year when bitcoin 's price pumped up to 19 usd. Bitcoin's volatility is what makes it more exciting and interesting to invest. You will not find any investment that can offer you that kind of return in a very short period of time, All you have to do is take patience and stay aware with the price movement.

You are no choice just hold it until the end of the year to be able to break even to your investment or getting some profits. Selling is not the best choice you will lost more money from your investment.

I'm not feeling  depress or anything about bitcoin because o give my full trust that bitcoin change me everything

Just buy more btc now, and hold on untit December 2020, when it will hit $1000,000.00

Or you can play the rise and dip trading game to make more btc.

This is just a big long dip right now.

Buying at $12,000 wasnt so bad, it will shoot back to $20,000 soon enough.

Playing in the Bitcoin game requires some patience.

I got in last July, and have seen much volatility.

Never been tempted to sell because I'm in for the long haul.

All the good reasons you invested in the first place still stand.

If you are the person who let your emotion drag you down,  then yes.  In this type of venture,  you need to be emotionally stable and be optimistic.  Even almost all of people do not even believe that bitcoin will reach its current state.  You need to have patience for you to be successful here.  It will just take a few months then I believe that the value of bitcoin will again increase.  You just need to wait. And also,  you think that you loss money because of the fluctuation,  but I think it is not really a lost money because you did not even make it a money,  or you do not even sell it.  You only lose money when it is in you and you lost it.  So do not feel depressed,  be optimistic.

Do not get too depressed. That is part of the game. Part of being in a business like this. All you have to do is just wait for a little bit longer and be more patient. Bitcoin will surely recover and you will earn huge profit.

That is only BTC.05 and you are already depresses. There are holders that have bought much more than you do like BTC5-10 and they still feel hopeful so you have no right to be depressed at all.

If you are capable of buying 0.5BTC at $12K price, then I believe you are willing to take the risk to have a good profit. So if I. were you I would hold until the end of the year. And wait if the price will rise up at $20k level or at least higher than $12K. After the end of the year, if Bitcoin price is still in between $7k-9k, then it's time sell at $9K price. There are a lot of suggestions made but you have to make you have the final say.

well, maybe it was the result of his efforts, it was natural that he became depressed. each person has their own limits. I also currently hold some bitcoin, and a little depressed because of the price that goes down. but, I believe that bitcoin prices will rise again. so, it's not so influential.

Don't let your emotions decide what you will do for your investment. Do you research and base your decision on this research. Based from what I know, establishments are already adapting Bitcoin as part of the payment options. Growth is low today but it has high potential to grow some time in the future. Don't lose hope.

This unfortunate scenarios commonly triggers the worse decisions and willingness of an individual to further engage with Bitcoin or other alts. Just think about other users here having millions of dollars in their wallet, probably they have great losses compared to your 5k dollars.
The thing is, if you wanted to earn larger profit then invest bigger amount but remember to invest only the amount you can afford to lose. Bitcoin is volatile from the beginning and you should keep that in mind. Don't go here crying about your loses, don't go safe,  don't expect big profit without investing big amount. Also to are responsible to manage your funds and monitor these changes if you don't like that to happen

This is why I was saying that holding 100% of your coins is not a good idea. You need to decide how much of your coins you need to keep aside for long-term storage. For the remaining coins, you need to set up price targets and when the target is achieved, you need to convert these coins to fiat.

my opinion is hold it, unless you have better investment.

with the bitcoin decrease, the demand for bitcoin should be growing, then the price will finally grow up.

Why do not you feel depressed? bitcoin does not force the use of bitcoin, which uses its core bitcoin people who are willing to learn and effort so there is no pressure.

We have the same experience, I usually stressed and depressed when I am holding a bigger value of bitcoin because bitcoin usually dump down slowly and I feel that if it goes down it will continuously goes down. But this is the problem that is wrong. Dont be a panic seller of bitcoin because it can be your loss someday. Think before you sell it, sell if you need a money, and dont sell because you are in panic.

The part of life and patience is the key to overcome this problem, if you hold all your bitcoin in your bitcoin wallet then no risk, no need to be in desperation because you should be confident about your investment that you are in safe hands so be happy that you have bitcoin be with it, almost 80% of population is already investing in bitcoin from all over the world and remaining 20% are trying to know about it, means they are the future investors of bitcoin.

it is unfortunately indeed for you because the current market is worsening.
well, if you believe in bitcoin, you can keep holding.
but are you brave enough to lose your dollars if bitcoin price not increase back ?

You haven't loose any thing mate, just dont panic sell the btc and the best thing you can do now is keep the btc safe in a secure wallet, avoid any error that can lead to the wallet been hack and buy more bitcoin before the market recover because the market recover.
Wait till next month or month cause the market recover will start pretty soon.

I think the only thing you can do now is to hold your bitcoin. Getting panicked and selling it will only make you lose what you have invested. Just wait, and try not to watch the price to avoid worrying too much.

You did not particularly mentioned that you needed the money for some reason therefore you were looking to cash out. If that were the case then that would depend on how bad you actually needed to do so. Because you didn't mention it I'm going to assume that that's not the case, and but you are cashing out because you have lost faith watching it go down.  just think if you had bought in sooner what kind of returns you would have had. Holding on is worth it. You'll have plenty of folks to tell you that here.

well  i had asked same question in the forum before  and  people   said  that we are close to an end of the dip   since we are close to 4 months in this situation  so  may be u should just wait for longer time    at least for it bounce to 10 k    u know that losing 2 k is better than losing 5 k $   what i mean is if u want to cut your lose  wait for a bounce back 

Since you have kept it since it was $12000 and watched it drop down to $7000, my advice for you is that you should hold it for a long time. Wait till the end of this year. I guess it is your spare money that you invested so you should not worry much. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick business. If you wait, you will reap.

That is one of the risks that must be faced. Now, the decision is in your hands, if you choose to invest for the long term, then be patient much longer, so you do not lose too much. My advice never invests what you can not afford to lose.

I am confused about giving suggestion means what would be right or wrong for you cant decide it :(

you have not really lost your money if you have not sold it, just the value is down, I'm also holding some coin at this time, of course its value down because btc price is going down too. but I will not sell it until I make a profit. it's just a matter of patience. ;)

It depends on your current need,if you are need money soon,i suggest you sell before the price keep falling down.If you don't have any urgent expenditure,you should hold it all the way,or better yet buy more.I'm sure the price will rise above $12k in a few months,so keep hold your bag for now and don't lose patience.

Investing in altcoins is good option too but not much satisfactory. There is reason behind this statement and that is only bitcoins can yield a better output after holding. If someone is willing to invest in any other altcoin then better is to day trade with it because only that can help you. Lotions are better in that one case only else holding isn’t for them as they never shown good results.

as I understood you don`t trade with other alts and the only choice you have is to wait for the prices to recover, many time btc fell sharply and was successful to recover again so just hodl and forget about everyday prices.

Investing is really a risk factor to get extra income.
So if ever you need to withdraw all your stocks that you think your losing. Well it depends on you.
But if you want to gambit all your saving and still believing that bitcoin will rise again. You should try the risk.

If only you could be patient for 5 more months, then chances are you will get more profit than selling it now. Being patient is the basic science in playing bitcoin.

why not hold and wait for it to increase again because bitcoin crashes greatly sometimes and so far, it recovers. the price may be so low right now, just remember thag bitcoin is volatile. it will recover someday, be high again but nobody knows when.

The reason why you felt frustrated is because you’re thinking way too advance mate. It’s not like you sold your bitcoin already. As long as it is still on your wallet then there is no reason to be bothered on what would be the price in the moment. Always be positive and be patient, one day you will be surprise with the outcome of investing in long term with bitcoin. Right now it is not yet the time to sell for the corrections are still going on. Just wait until it recover.

It is normal to feel sad about your investments whenever it falls down. But it is important not to let your emotions decide what you will do with your investment. Always based your decision frok research. Hold on to your investment if it has huge potential to grow.

Do not be depressed, just be brave and trust bitcoin. It may fall this time but soon it will increase again. Just keep holding. Do not panic you may regret it if you give up. Do not let your emotion control you. Believe to the power of bitcoin, it was normal to fall because its one characteristic of bitcoin, that was being volatile.

,,,I think you're not prepared as an investor of cryptocurrency, because you were bothering the price value of your bitcoin and that's the reality happend to those unprepared investors. Make a little plan is the primary strategy for every business and it leads to the road of failure  if without of it.

Control your emotions. Don't be carried right away to what you feel. Always keep in mind that Bitcoin price may eventually pump and dump. Just look on the brighter side, what if by tomorrow it will pump to the price you don't even expect? I am sure you will be happy. Leverage your experiences and emotions when making decisions and don’t be afraid to use them. Whatever feeling you might have towards an asset or an event, listen to it.

you should have sold it while it was still around 15000$ and going down. Selling it now is the same as burning your money for nothing, But if you trust bitcoin that it will rise again then just hold it tight and think positive. Wait for few more months, i think it's value is just starting to rise again.

actully if you gonna sell your btc it become a stupid decision. you could hav sold that when itwas $15k but don't worry evryone is so much confident about growing of bitcoin. just hold it.

I don't think you should let it go just now or you will be unable to forgive you for the mistake every, fall is followed by rise

hold on the price hike is on the way. It will surely benefit or atleast compensate your loss

Their are people now feeling depress because of bitcoin that they hold. So for me my advice of holding bitcoins is stay calm and wait because in near future bitcoin is became stable and double the price or value.

I m not felling any depression when I'm holding bitcoin i just keep it hold  and wait for the right and perfect time of selling

There's no reason to be depressed just because of what is happening to bitcoin. We must focus on the good side instead of dwelling on the bad. It will not solve the problem at all and will just add on it. Don't worry for holding bitcoin because the time will come that its value will get high again.

Sometimes I realized I can't stand for it but later on Bitcoin gives light into my darkest side. It realied that it is possible to be one of the millioner if you have patience in doing your job. As of today my feelings is in the highest point to reach for the right and to hold for the future. I am positive enough to do what is right.

Keep it mate, it's part of volatility. When the bitcoin enthusiasm get higher then the price will easily increase. Please look at the chart, there are also some fluctuations in price  every day. I don't suggest you to do trading but if you want get your money back immediately then you should take this risk. But I absolutely suggest you to just hold it.

Keep it mate just believe in bitcoins potential to pump up again,there were really times that price will go down but don't get stressed this might cause you depression or heart attack,stay calm and think positive.Keep yourself busy in something you could win.As of now bitcoin is still fighting the battle of all this hindrances that can make bitcoin successful again.Votality is cryptocurrencies nature of business just be open minded to every circumstances.Have a strong heart to face your fears and a strong hands to handle and keep your coins.

It is not easy. I suggest you stop looking at the market and the price charts, close your wallet and go live your normal life and only check two to three times in a week.

I understand you. It is quite frustrating to see the market going deeper and deeper but right now it is the worse time to sell

This might be a good read for you.

Well I don't think that my advice can fix something I just hope that you did not borrow money for that. That it was your money and it's much more simple to hold it in that way. Anaway you should focus on some techincal aspects : read books, this forum you should read more and BTC in general what changed lately, what is lightening network is and why it's so important. Now you have time for that because I think you can't trade now so you'll back when you'll be ready. Read about wallets. Exodus and MEW would be good to start. MAybe you change you mind and change bitcoin to alcoins or something. Your mind should work. Worth thing in that situations is looking to price and wait when it will grow again! That's very depressing believe me. Better share your knowledge here to some new people in crypto. Wish you luckand hard work  to your mind it would be stronger after that

I can really understand that it is a depressing situation for anyone. But being a trader in this market, you have to be ready for all this. And it is quite normal for you to feel like that. It's not your fault...actually this year 2k18 is not the YEAR for bitcoin. From the very beginning, the price has slumped badly and such a situation has depressed everyone. So it's your decision whether to continue with your investment, or sell. Because the situation right now is quite confusing, we can't tell the next move. Because of the new events popping up the scene right now state a very dubious state for the crypto market. Just take your decision wisely!

Do you want to lose your money?  If yes sell it. But if not keep it, for sure you don't want to lose your money, all we need to have in crypto world is patient, if we don't know how to wait it will be easy to us to lose our money.  Don't be depressed just stay calm.

As it is recommended continuously, one should never invest more than his losing capacity so if you can not afford to lose any further amount then it doesn't make any sense to keep going but I am assuming that you had a proper research and expectations while investing in it so if you and your research are on the same page then I would advice you to keep going with it and have faith. Don't get yourself in a panic situation which is most likely to happen in such scenarios.

No, dont sell it just keep it. You have a good idea that you invest your money to bitcoin but the problem is you invest to bitcoin when it is in higher price which on future you may get a lower profit because of it, but at the times goes by you will see that bitcoin will be increased and hit its peak again, soon.

Cant say because I am a newbie so have no such experience still now :(

We need to have a bitcoin investment strategy especially when bitcoin is down. I agree with your opinion if you do not sell you will remain bitcoin and if when bitcoin up you will have some terrible profits. But if I hold too much, then when prices drop I must sell to recover the capital.

Those who are intelligent will not feel depressed.Because Btc prices fall bt will increases again.This is a section of Btc that will ever increases the price, sometimes it'll decrease.And at the moment it's better to hold the condition of its price.Don't feel depressed.

I think not only you are feeling depressed because most of them they have a lot of bitcoin and they bought their bitcoin with high price. I suggest wait more few months so that's why bitcoin will recover again. Just relax and sit and wait the price to recover again because for sure it will happen because many investor again will bitcoin don't panic selling because it will not help to you..

You are not alone on that dilemma since the price value of bitcoin is in lower position and yet nobody knows when the bitcoin value will recover soon. But remember patience is a virtue that requires perseverance, that eventually receives rewards. Feeling depressed for holding bitcoin is an insight of losing hopes on what everyone is hoping for. It is true that the price or value of bitcoin is in lower point, but this matter is normal to all forms of investment, whether in the form of stocks, currencies (fiat or virtual) or any other form, who says the there is no risk involve in trading and investing, well what was happening right now is a normal scenario. But then, if you lose hopes and getting tired on holding your bitcoin, will definitely will lose and not be rewarded, but it is always one's decision on what he owns  because anything happens to his assets he/she will receives the result of it. well, be decisive, make the necessary study and analysis since it is yours and you will benefited if your choice or decision is right.

There you go, if you still holding your BTC then we have already started to move towards the highs of the bitcoin.This will be expected in the same manner as you went down from 12k to 6k the only thing that will happen is, it will reverse now.  :D
We do have reached the 7K already. So you can expect the journey in following way,
in next two months hopefully we will reach 9-10K price. There will be little ups and downs at this point. Then after little halt we can see upward moment that will catch the prices of 12K. And by the year end we will be back to 20K. Lets think in that way as it did happen in the past, however the prices were different in terms of ATH and ATL.  ;)

In this case, you can only wait for bitcoin to grow. Not to sell, but to keep it in your portfolio. He should start growing soon. Sooner or later, it's gonna happen.

Somehow, yes but it only get triggered when I spend most of my time reading crypto articles and news about crypto. It's all about FUD so I just stay away not to get that depressing feeling.

It is really depressing if you buy bitcoin from a high market value and hold then suddenly price drop and you might think of losing an investment, but think also that in investment their's always a risk and it's kind of gamble. Just have faith and trust bitcoin because their are also many people who believe that bitcoin will rise again this year and we hope so.

For me there's no reason to be depressed about holding bitcoin. You can worry because of its struggle but it won't help you to solve the problem. For me the best way to deal with it is to keep on being happy despite the situation and hope that it willwill rise again. Only you can motivate yourself so you have to trust in it no matter what.

which I do now only hold bitcoin I have, sometimes I get depressed because I see bitcoin prices continue to fall, I try to be patient and wait for bitcoin prices will rise again, I hope there will be good news this year

All of us suffer from the price of bitcoin now,all of us asked this question in our self,if we should sell or continue holding it. In my own analysis, if i sell my bitcoin,i will lose half of my investment and it won't back again,but if i continue holding, i have a chance to get back how much i loss, but the question is when it will happen. But don't lose hope because there is always a good chance that waiting on us.

You're feeling depressed because you are afraid of losses ,yes there's no reason to worry the situation. I suggest you to take some coffee and calm im joining investment. No matter what happen just think positive and trust yourselves .Also have courage in investing moneys on bitcoin and feel good on the situation.

I know that feels but it is part of taking the risk on venturing to bitcoin, you lose some, you win some. I know it's sad but we must hold for the sake of our future in cryptocurreny. It may have bad effect on market today but sooner or later that sadness will all be gone after bitcoin will rise up back again from downfall. #HODL

Every downfall of prices on bitcoin we are feeling depressed because the situation is in a critical. We need to take some rest and be in ourselves to maintain the composure in initiating or making decision how we can get enormous profit. That's the way to avoid losses of coins .

You should hold your bitcoin until the price will be high enough that you'll profit. Don't go selling now since the price is better for add investment and just wait. Since you bought it at a very high price, I think you should expect to profit for at least a year or more. Or if you want, you can convert to some promising altcoins in the top list, sine they are also down this moment.

It is best to hold Bitcoin, since the price of 12,000 dollars will definitely return. Bitcoin can grow even more. I think this year we will see bitcoin for 25,000 dollars.

I brought 1.5 btc this jan with hope of getting x1.6 by April-june. However it happened wrost. As all know in what price  line bitcoin is now. I will wait till price increases.selling now will be ultra loss for me. I will suggest you to wait for few months till bitcoin get back to its peak.

Actually no one knows when the price of bitcoin will increase.You should keep patience and holding your bitcoin.

There is no reason to feel depressed. If the money you invested is something you can afford to "forget" for some time until the price of bitcoin rises again then you will feel normal and not depressed.

If you bought it at a much higher price there is still big hope for you to recover your investment, you just have to be patient. Last March2017 the price of Bitcoin was 950 dollars, this March ended near 7000 dollars so let's hope in March 2019 it will end up near 70000 dollars.

Yes btc possible could return back the price of Ath this year. Good to hold for long time even price is depressing at this moment we should not losing hope we can earn.

We all want to earn and losing would really bring us a hard feeling. I think we should prepare ourselves for such changes that might happen since bitcoin is volatile and the price is unstable. No matter how shaky the value is, we must keep calm and keep holding for it will rise again if we'll just know how to be patient.

Yep, then it is very important to understand the principle of investment, never invest what you can not afford to lose. Most make the mistake of using the funds they are supposed to use to meet their daily needs. There are also those who sell assets and even borrow capital to invest in bitcoin, it should be avoided especially if not much experience with cryptocurrency.

Now that you are already in loss, just hold on it. Bitcoin prices will recover soon and it will touch the $12000 level soon. If you can wait for at least an year from now, you can even expect 2x returns as it will reach $24000 for sure in one year.

if you still have confidence and patience for your investment with bitcoin I think hold it and wait for some time may be no problem may be profitable future

Ever Bitcoin investor is feeling depressed nowadays.This is because there has been a huge fall in the price and it is still falling.Investors have no choice instead of holding their Bitcoin's. They can't afford to sell because if they will sell at this particular rate then they will face huge loses.I will advice you have faith in Bitcoin and to keep holding your BTC's.Bitcoin has a capability to recuperate from this drop and to reach new heights again.So be positive.Bitcoin will surely rise again to new heights and will let you earn huge profits.Just be calm and hold.

Relax and be patient. You have to abstain looking at the value of bitcoin because you are just hurting yourself day by day. What you need to do is set your goal at the end of the year. At that time try looking at the value of bitcoin. If it does rise then you get a profit for waiting, if not then wait for another year. Just don't sell it yet if it is below your invested value.

You should take a look at historical price graphics of bitcoin and calm down.
Don't invest money into bitcoin which you can not afford to loose is also a good idea to stay away from depression.
Thinking longterm really helps, bitcoin blockchain proved for the past 9 years great stability, today lightning network has just started to function which will definitely only strengthen bitcoin ecosystem.
If still not convincing to HODL bitcoin, than try just to forget about it for few years ;)

I can say that investing on bitcoin is a game of risks. You should risk your time and your money. In your case you don't lose anything yet. You will only lose something if you're going to sell your coin now. It is a matter of time. Bitcoin is volatile, its value changes from time to time. If youre going to sell your coin now, of course you're going to lose a lot. You should wait its value to rise up to prevent loss. Divert your attention to other things so that you will may not be disappointed of its price as of now.

I can only imagine how frustrating and sadenning this might be for you.. But as what i have mentioned in my posts every investment has a certain risks. If you lose now then it is gone..if you still have remaining btc i advice that you play it well again. I don't suggest to sell the remaining now because there is still no gain on that. Hold and wait for the next pump that is the only way to regain your loses. Goodluck.

For sure something huge takes time to be done so the price of bitcoin will be high someday but for it we will have to hold our bitcoin with a lot of patience and we will have to wait. For me the best way of getting profit is one and only that do not panic your bitcoin at any cost as one day surely you gonna see the price high once again,  don’t get depressed as once you invest don’t keep on checking the price in market have faith and hold your bitcoin without panicking.

I'm also holding a few bitcoins,  and it's really depressing now. In early year  of 2018 until today,  the price hasn't shown a significant increase. It often shows decreasing, and honestly it gets me panicked. However I believe the price will recover. I just don't know exactly when. Holding isn't easy especially when you see the price of bitcoin and altcoins are red. As long as we can be patient to wait for the high price, we will get more than we expect.

Of course you should hold it more and you'll be in profit soon.

You should keep it continue to hold it. Don't worry about your losses, good things will come. If you sell it right now to cut your losses, then that is more losing. By the end of the year, bitcoin price will climb up, you will gain more profit than your losses today.

The control of emotions and psychology is paramount, if you do not already feel at ease with bitcoin I recommend you exchange it for FIAT money or exchange it for other altcoins.

This is natural. Ever person will be depressed if the value of something he owns declines but this not the end and we still have a lot of time to see the magic. The price of the coin is determined by the free market forces or the invisible hand by which I mean the demand and supply of the coins will increase the value again as many people starts acquiring Bitcoin. This actually happened in the last few months of 2017.

Be more tolerant and calm. Many people who also like you bought bitcoins when the price was expensive. I believe in bitcoin raising. You just have to wait.

I know what you feel when you have a diminishing asset with a sizeable amount. but all you can do is buy back at a lower price to add a nominal coin. even when the approximate value in usd looks less. but you get a larger amount of coins.

You feel depressed when you are holding bitcoin? Well, you just feel depressed if the is in a low price, because you think that the price will never be go up. Don't be panic if the price is in the low price bacause it will be highier in a months or year.

If I were you, I would hold the BTC till the end of the year, rather than selling it at a loss. Major price hike is seen towards the end of the year.

Selling bitcoin this time is not the right decision because the price is very low,wait for the right time and the right price.Don't be like others selling at low price.

I understand OP is just new in the market and have a limited knowledge about cryptos that's why he's so depressed. Hope he knew that bitcoin is too volatile that in instant it can make you profited and loss. Don't sell at loss so better to just hold or you'll be losing more and for now just forget your bitcoin and come back before the year ends.

The number one rule of investing is that you should never invest money that your dependent on so if thats the case then it might explain why your feeling down about this situation.  furthermore, as another user mentioned you only lose money when you sell so if you keep holding then technically your not at a loss yet.  If i were you i would just hold and wait for bitcoin to recover because after a long bear trend like this it has to moon again.

im so sorry to hear that, but always remember never invest what can't afford to loose because the results will be like what you are feeling now, depressed, heartache but we should understand that we all can't get profit from bitcoin, some will loss some will gain, what i recommend to you is to do some trading while there is a roller coaster that is going on bitcon, what i mean is to grab the opportunity on this dips to earn profit, buying and selling.

In the world of crypto currencies everything is possible to happen. So better invest only you can afford to lose and don't put your money in one basket. a lot of newbies invested in bitcoin and dreaming to be double the price they don't know the scenario that the possibilities to drop. Better before you entering in some investment do your own research first.  
Right now hold your bitcoin and wait for the comeback of bitcoin


#Taklimakan

Well you should hold it for a bit more. First of all before buying bitcoin, you should know that the price is so volatile. It can go up or down anytime. Don't expect it to rise up all the time because it can go down too and that's how the market runs. Be patient and wait for it to rise up, then that's the time you'll get huge profit.

You don't need to feel depressed,  maybe you are feeling depressed because of the mindset you used in entering the crypto space. The person who invited you I to crypto only told you that if you invest now,  you will get alot of returns in just few month,  he or she never told you about the risk involved,  the volatility of crypto and also the reason why crypto currency came into existence.

No, nobody wants to lose. I like our Forum as we can support each other and give at least the smallest advice. Please, try to stay patient and wait - BTC price must go up.

Stay strong because price isn't everything about bitcoin so just hold because bitcoin always recover stronger than before but it takes time. Also make sure you keep some strong alts for the next bull run wich is not coming soon so everyone has time to grab cryptos.

yeah man it really deppresed when holding for a long time
but still this is the challange to win, by controling your emotion to it
and still have a long time to the moon

Patience is the most important thing which you must need to have in your personality at time when you are there in the world of the crypto currencies and that you need to keep on controlling your nerves at tough times so that you can make some better results. Other than this, you need to hold your coins and that this is the only thing which can help you in having something good after some time.

I think your other bitcoin holders are pretty much bouncing on hold but other bitcoin holders just calm down even if the bitcoin price is low because bitcoin is a longterm investment so you just hold it for many years

It is a sure feeling to feel depress in such a way, for holding bitcoin and likewise some other cryptocurrencies, most especially now that the market seem to be going further down and no sign of an upward movement. Regardless, one should snap out of it, with the mindset of the currency coming back up.

Its really normal to feeling depressed. But don't worry. Bitcoin will raise again. So just hold it. Don't sell it at this time. It will be loose for sure. So hold up is the best option.

The sad part of having bitcoin and risking it by holding and waiting for the time that the price is when, instead of the price to go up, in contrast it will fall down.But then dont worry, we just again have to wait for the price to become stable, but the waiting time cant be predicted how much long, patience is needed.

It is true that in addition to miners waiting for the old miners are also worried bitcoin continues to weaken because the market does not recover and how to solve it?

dude, bitcoin works for long term. if you hope to get profit for short term, dont choose bitcoin. try another alts that still profitable. but i assume if you choose bitcoin and even you've invest 0.5 btc. that was a big stuff.

dont lose your faith in bitcoin or you will get more depressed.

Keep it, don't worry you're not alone, I am also buy bitcoin at the highest price and now it hurts me that I see my lose, but the best thing here is we learned to our experience, don't lose hope because bitcoin will increase soon, so just keep on holding now.

Ever Bitcoin speculator is feeling discouraged nowadays. This is on the grounds that there has been a gigantic fall in the cost and it is still falling. Investors must choose between limited options as opposed to holding their Bitcoin's. They can't stand to offer in light of the fact that in the event that they will offer at this specific rate then they will confront colossal loses. I will exhortation you have confidence in Bitcoin and to continue holding your BTC's. Bitcoin has a capacity to recover from this drop and to achieve new statures again. So be positive. Bitcoin will without a doubt rise again higher than ever and will give you a chance to acquire gigantic profits.Just be quiet and hold.

Unwind and be understanding. You need to go without taking a gander at the estimation of bitcoin on the grounds that you are simply harming yourself step by step. What you have to do is define your objective toward the finish of the year. Around then have a go at taking a gander at the estimation of bitcoin. In the event that it rises then you get a benefit for pausing, if not then sit tight for one more year. Simply don't offer it yet in the event that it is underneath your contributed esteem.

Don't feel depressed, the price would go up again in a few months time. So, in the meantime, hold your coins don't sell it. Some time the market would go up and some time it would go down, it is normal.

Regardless, one must change his attitude, with the mindset of the rising currency. It is a definite feeling to feel depressed in such a way, to hold bitcoin as well as some other cryptocurrency

Friend you haven't lost any many since you have never sold you bitcoins don't you check the price in USD. You still jave the same amount of BTC wait until the price goes up and it will and then sell when you make profit.

I understand if you feel like that, but don't loss hope and don't give up on that situation. You need to think always in a positive way because this will bring you in a positive things and life. Wait and hold until the price recover then if it is happens you can sell it to get easily profit.

Be calm and be patient. Nothing will be okay when you are panic. In this case, many people are staring the coin market and see their coins time to time. But, don't you know that the price of cryptocurrency especially bitcoin is always changing? The price is unpredictable. Now, you may lose around 5000$. But, if you can make a better strategy and be patient, you can wait for it until the market recovery. It may lead you to get double profits. And see, now the market just green. However, be wise, Never be panic to sell your coin at this time. Always analyze and research the market to know when is the best time to sell your bitcoin.

Just keep it and have a long term mindset, remember rome was not build within a day amd you should probably not invest something you are afraid to lose. I know it hurts when cryptocurrencies bleed but that is the risk with this kind of investment. Just buy amd forget about it for 1-2 years and you will be okay. Good luck buddy.

It could be very depressed to hold any crypto, because of the price goes up and down so fast, it's very unpredictable and uncertain. So you need to have a strong nerve and the less you check the price is the better for your health. It could be very stressed job doing trading because you never know when is the right time to buy and sale.

That's a normal thing to feel whenever the market value is falling. But eep jn mind that the uncertainty due to the market volatility is a normal thing with cryptos. You should continue holding if you are aiming for huge profit. Selling will permanently cut down your potential profit. The market is now recovering and is a thing to look forward with holding.

I believe by now you've seen a lot for yourself on the Bitcoin marketplace. The bull is still preparing to make another giant leap. I suggest you hold your BTC and set for yourself a long term goal.

I would suggest instead of selling at this price and holding through the whole bear phase of Q1, it is better to keep holding investment till Q4. I expect the same price action as last year by year end. You bought your BTC at $12k. I expect BTC to reach this price by June-July. So, no need to hassle and sell at loss. Better to wait more since the bullish phase has started instead of selling low and taking loss. Your entry point wasn't that bad and is still an approachable price.

If you bought you bitcoin at a high price then you should never think about selling your bitcoin in a bear market, hodl your coins and you will still make money from your bitcoin when the price finally goes back up.

I think keeping bitcoin is better.
if the price of bitcoin fall than you should keep patient for higher price ...in the last of the year bitcoin price will be rise ..

You should rethink before selling your bitcoin. My suggestion to you is hold it till you make some profit. To minimize risk you can increase your portfolio by inveating in alt coins.

Don't panic. I think it's only temporary. I still have bitcoin, and now the price of bitcoin has dropped a lot, but I believe that bitcoin will recover soon. What we need to do is to wait patiently. If you think bitcoin will continue to fall, you can choose to sell, and you need to make your own choices.

We need to have a bitcoin investment strategy especially when bitcoin is down. I agree with your opinion if you do not sell you will remain bitcoin and if when bitcoin up you will have some terrible profits. But if I hold too much, then when prices drop I must sell to recover the capital.

Yeah you should feel depressed about this because you went on to hodl everything I think its smart to support bitcoin and hold it but stupidly holding it over every dip is something stupid ofcourse you must know when to sell and when to buy buck again. HODL is a good thing only until everyone in this world is ready for it. Moreover if you really plan to hodl then just ignore the daily or even monthly prices to and reckon your prosperity in longer term. I would suggest you to take care of these things or else you will always be depressed of holding.

Since the start of the year, bitcoin value had drastically dropped and yes, it is very much depressing. However, despite such evenf, we should always keep in mind that aooner, bitcoin value will increase and will even surpass its highest value last year. Though this may take some time but patience is all we need. So don’t be depressed, it will soon pay off, just hang in there.

you haven't lost unless you sold. That is the old truth. If you bought at $12k, it's not so bad, you're not far away from breaking even. Just be patient and it will surely pay off

As long as you are still holding it and not selling it for a low price you can still have the luxury of not losing your money. Yes, technically you are not gaining anything as you are holding it but you are also not losing the money that you have invested on it and to me that is a win win situation as you are still living for another day and that is what makes the bitcoin and the whole of the cryptocurrency market a volatile is even if it has its lows it also has its highs

You are for sure starting to feel excited and positivity to bitcoin this past few weeks because it has started to pump up and shows positive price increase in the past three weeks just toDay the price started at 8059k and this has been going well for quite a while now. During the fall it was supposedly best time for us to buy at lesser cost we could have been profitting well at this times..For sure your loses will be recovered soon!

In my own opinion, i will keep holding on to my bitcoin, i will keep my hopes up because i know that bitcoin will go up again. Just sit back and relax, you don't have to worry to much. If you sell your bitcoin now then you will lose.

I dont feel depressed for hilding a bitcoin,because if you are an open minded person especially you are engaged into a business,holding is the best way,because there you can see the big invome or profit with it.So nothing to worry  while you are holding a btc.

No because if we don't work hard then we can't  get bitcoin.because  no pain so no gain.so feeling not depressed to holding bitcoin

If you have unused money you can buy some more at lower cost so your average cost will decrease and hold on to this until the price goes high.

Many people in the past days were very depressed for holding a bitcoin. The only one reason is the price in the market which is really not favorable for everybody. The price of bitcoin is very low that is why many people got mad and depressed because they will enounter losses. However, never lose hope since in short time come, it will grow again and back to increasing trend. Just relax and be patient on holding it because in the future you will earn profit.

I give you suggestion go trading it, that the best solustion right now dont hold it,

Yes you must hold your 0.5 btc and be patient because now the price of bitcoin is 8126$ and i think this price will be more than 15000$ in few month

It is going up right now. so I hope you didn't sell it. Also since you have half of bitcoin, it is better to hold for long term.

If you don't want to lose your investment and if you want to get profit then you should keep it and wait until the price will increase again. Just think positive and keep on believing that bitcoin price will increase again.

I don't think that holding too long is a good idea at this very moment. Many altcoins have been moving and retracing their losses. Moving forward, be less aggressive and set lower targets just to be sure in taking quick profits just in case Bitcoin continue to dump. As long as BTC doesn't trade above $10k comfortably we are still in the zone to safely hold.

I do understand how you feel at the moment. But really, with the understanding of the market trend at the moment, I will advise you HODL; keep your mind and eyes off the bitcoins for the next 6months if possible. Another rule you should have for yourself is never to sell at a loss in the Cryptocurrency world! Do HODL for now as you will regain your Bitcoin value soon. Cheers!

I'm still optimistic that the future of bitcoin will continue to improve, so I suggest to be patient and optimistic to hold bitcoin, if we are patient to hold at least up to 8 more months then we will get big profit like last year.

If it's not your last money, then it's better to wait. Nobody  know how much bitcoin will cost tomorrow, but judging by the last news, his price will reach $ 50,000 in the next couple years...

In my opinion if bitcoin was reached USD 19K, then it will reach again someday at that point.
So, i recommend you to keep your bitcoin for now.

If price of bitcoin is really falling don’t be depressed it will increase surely, so you can wait. And I’m not sure that the price is too low. It could be for time being.

Stay alert always,no need to worry here because everything will come to it's time.2018 will be the year in which coins will reach upto $50k,so what really matters is on how we hold and be patience in waiting,if you want to win the game, don't quit as tantamount to say that don't feel depressed because BTC will be the same yesterday,today and in the future.

There is nothing to get depressed of having bitcoin in the wallet. The price variations were the one that makes the user feel worse of having bitcoin. One who have the good understanding about the true reason of the fluctuations with time will make use of the volatility.

Have you invested all of your money? Well just do not look at the price of bitcoin every now and then, just check it at least once a week or twice a month
Bitcoin will surely recover buddy no worries
Remember that bitcoin can grow more than what you expected, stay positive!!

You know what its true it is quit depressing if you 5ink that you've hold your Bitcoin for a long period of time...  Because of the volatility of the prices and value of bitcoin...  But its okay to wait even it takes time... Because atleast you are sure about the  status of your coin... Though its hard to wait but always think that the best success is those who is has as sweat ending...  Wait until tha price of btc become stable again...

Well its all part of the game. You should've set yourself ready for this as the value rises over the roof last year. For me, it is already expected that bitcoin's value will go down since the pump that occured is not that firm yet. Just keep on holding and believe that bitcoin's value will sooner once again get back or get higher than what you are expecting.

We all feel bad about the sudden decrease of bitcoin's value since many of us has a lot of holding here. The value we are holding on will surely go down as the dumps happen. We can't do anything about it but to trust and believe that the sudden dump that occured last year will happen once again and we will gain more benefit from it.

I agree with that, we are here to earn not to throw everything that we have been through, but this is cryptocurrency, we should be aware that from time to time the price may dump, and the only thing that we can do is to wait for it to rise again, we should not be dependent to this currency, better to have stable job so you will not be in the scenario of being frustrated cause you dont have money anymore.

Do you mean feeling not felling cause maybe I will misinterpret the info. Actually,I don't feel depressed for holding bitcoin because I don't have the guts to make the price stabilized or fixed. One thing is for sure acceptance is the easiest way to make everything smooth and less worries so that I will not think any deeper and to avoid depression of waiting. I am just a normal being with simple hopes for my future so as much as possible I have to kill my depression and stay calm as always.

I advise you to hold your bitcoin until bitcoin prices recover. bitcoi prices definitely go up but do not know when the price will rise again. now we just be patient in order not to get big loss if we sell it at this moment. bitcoin prices at the moment are very sad because people who have bought bitcoins at expensive prices they now only have 2 options that are holding longer to earn profits and selling now at a cheap price to reduce more losses

yes there is possibility but we should not loose hope and get depressed so i think we should have hardwork and patience to wait and holding bitcoin, we know that bitcoin price now is getting higher so i think you would not depressed and bitcoin price is starting to rise.

Oh please, don't be. If ever bitcoin's price is still down, you should have high hopes of being able to sell it in a high price in the future. Hold it for now, and you'll get the fruit of your labor once the price goes up and you'll sell it on that amount. Don't worry, it is very natural for bitcoin to experience that, just be patient enough and keep holding those coins until the time comes that you can sell it in a good price.

In this situation the price of BTC is rising. I think holding of BTC is going to end. Because the price of BTC will exceed your purchase price within a short time. So there is nothing wrong or worried about it.

Yup that is what the people should always think they should always think about the future of the bitcoin and the possible price of bitcoin in the future because with the potential of bitcoin that we are seeing right now, we can easily say that the price can reach up to 6 digits in the future which is an awesome price to sell because that means a lot of profit.

My friend this is not a good sign if you are feeling depressed because you are holding your bitcoin. My piece of advice to you is that, maybe you need some refreshment or unwind of mind. I know that this is the most challenging part of any business or investment having a fear or depressed. But surely if you refresh or unwind your mind this felling will subside and you will back unto your focus again. Yes I is not that easy to do those things but if you will do this step by step and once at a time surely unconsciously you will back to your normal way of thinking.

A few weeks ago bitcoin touched the price of $ 6,000 , currently almost $ 8,000. Meaning there's still hope for you, there's still an opportunity for bitcoin to reach over 12,000. Stay calm and be patient. Next time make it as a lesson that do not buy bitcoin when the price is high.

After market correction the market is rising. Many of us depresed with the market. As market correction is regular fact, there is nothing to be worried. Market is return back very shortly.

Relax and go outside with your family. That's how market is, don't expect  christmas everyday in your life. Invest, forget and comeback.

Why are you feeling depressed as if you buy at peak then it was a wrong decision. Always buy when market dip to a certain level and sell when market at its peak. Bitcoin never depress long term holders and it is in short term down trend and it will rise again when market conditions recover.

Those who are intelligent will not feel depressed.Because Btc prices fall bt will increases again.This is a section of Btc that will ever increases the price, sometimes it'll decrease.And at the moment it's better to hold the condition of its price.Don't feel depressed.

Investors need patience. The temporary market does not represent the future. I think you shouldn't sell your Bitcoin, but you should wait. I believe Bitcoin will always have a price increase one day.

I think nobody want to lose money, you have to decide by your self if you think you gonna loss your money guess what you will loose it. As far my concern i am not getting depressed for holding my bitcoin because i believe that bitcoin price will rise up again. panic selling will make me nothing in the end. Those who know what bitcoin is will never get depressed because they know how small bitcoin is right now and how big this going to be

You did not particularly mentioned that you needed the money for some reason therefore you were looking to cash out. If that were the case then that would depend on how bad you actually needed to do so. Because you didn't mention it I'm going to assume that that's not the case, and but you are cashing out because you have lost faith watching it go down.  just think if you had bought in sooner what kind of returns you would have had. Holding on is worth it. You'll have plenty of folks to tell you that here.

From what you are saying you should have bought btc at the high last when when the news of btc hype is everywhere. Just keep the btc there for a few years the value shoud be more than what you buy btc at. When the starting of btc no one believe btc will grow to such an incredible price also but after years btc price have go so many folds. You will not see profit fast but maybe after a longer period of time just be confidence with the btc.

There is nothing to be depressed about. You just need to keep going and HODL your bitcoins. I am assuming that you don't need the money since you didn't mention it. All you need to do is to wait. There will be an opportunity for you to earn money and its up to you if you will sell your bitcoin at that time. If you already loss $5000, you will lose more if you sell it because bitcoin will go up anytime. Be patient.

Actually feeling depressed whil holding your bitcoin is natural because we are nervous to the price of it not to increase. We are waiting for a long time for the price of it to increase but our depressed will gone once the price of it pop up.

You think this is a common thing when someone panics loses, back again to the person trying to HODL or reduce losses due to the reduction of the price of the bitcoin (panic sell). If you are a true bitcoiner then you will choose HODL as this is the best solution to get the price as originally sure in bitcoin

I know what you feel right now is normal. In every investment there is something to worry and that is normal because investment is very risky. But be careful before you do something. If you sell it in a very low price you have ended of lossing your money. Be patience that is the word we can tell to you.

You can worry a little considering the risk of it but should never be depressed when it comes to holding bitcoin. Why? It is because holding bitcoin is much better than selling it. You could learn more profit by holding. You just have to wait for the right time when the price gets pump.

I feel sorry for you with that. Well, based on my very own experience and perception, you would ONLY lose your money once you had sold it because there are no taking back of it once you sold it then your BTC would be just a cash as an exchange. As an advice, for you to avoid such loss try holding it for a long and wait for the time that you will surely make a big profit out of it.

If you have a trust on bitcoin plus those patience we must keep, we must hold bitcoin as long as we can. I you are the one of the believers who are staying to hold, you will see in the future what will be the result of holding. In another way, we can do grab this opportunity to biy some more of it mate.

Ah come on man, snap out of it! 
There's no reason to feel depressed for holding Bitcoin, there are many people who wish they could be in your place!
Just think about all the upside potential you have by holding coins this early in the game.

Now we just be patient in order not to get big loss if we sell it at this time. bitcoin prices today are very sad because people who have bought bitcoins for a fortune now they only have 2 options that last longer to earn profits and sell now cheaply to reduce more losses. I advise you to hold your bitcoin until bitcoin prices recover. bitcoin prices are definitely up

You better wait and continue holding that amount than to sell it already just because the market is falling at this moment. Selling will not solve the situation where Bitcoin is into but rather it will just make the situation worse. The market is now starting to recover and that is alreay something to look forward with in the future. Observe and judge it for yourself. Just wait and see how high will its value reach this year and how much will its investors and users would earn.

Dont feel depressed for holding bitcoin because no one knows when will bitcoin increase value or decrease. All we need to do is to have a perfect timing and patience. All you need to do is to wait. There will be an opportunity for you to earn money and its up to you if you will sell your bitcoin at that time.

just relax you are not alone, because bitcoin always rises and exceeds the highest peaks ever reached, may hold bitcoin feeling depressed at this time but after bitcoin back to moon you will feel most fortunate

Don't feel bad just yet. you haven't lose anything yet. Friendly reminder is to stay strong and keep holding your coins for now. I still have a firm belief that Bitcoin price will eventually goes up as always, once it does, and it reaches and exceeds your buying price, then you can go ahead and sell with good profit. You just have to be patient, it will be all worth it. If you let your doubts and fears get into you, you can do panic selling and that is when you really lose your investments worth. Stay strong and keep your coins.

Time has come for cryptocurrencies to boom again. Just keep holding friends.

Keep it, don’t sell Bitcoin when the price is down like this because it’s a loss. Bitcoin is just taking a break for a moment after a shocking rally at the last new year, after several months Bitcoin will be back to climb up the price chart again. At first you really have intended to invest, which you should be ready to lose the money you invest, so keep HODL.

the big question, are u still believe in bitcoin? if you still believr in bitcoin you should to hold it until the price if bitcoin increasing, but if you dont believe in bitcoin you just can sell all of your bitcoin and try another platform thay you believe, all decisioj is yours. dont as people ehat should you do. sometimes the advice can makes you regret it someday

There are people like you, but not all ask advice from more experienced users, but they just sell in panic at a price cut. so it's good that you asked about it. Of course, you do not need to sell your bitcoins, but will wait for the next jump in price, which should happen in the near future.

Yes, sometimes it happens to us in such a timely manner We are receiving an unrecognized and unrecorded purchase We are hoping afterwards Ascension profit margin is not a comment and we are starting to give up losses We can give big losses from time to time to be patient and my goal will definitely come to the numbers of cleaning some day Thinking is enough.

Let's say you already sold your remaining bitcoin . But still nothing change right? , you still lose some of your investment . But what if in the next few months bitcoin will regain it's value ?

So I suggest you to hold it for now . Take a risk bro , you've really come so far.

That would nice to hear that you have that value on hold. Don't be deepressed to much, keep calm set back and relax bitcoin is volatile in terms of value and its always surprising by day months or even years. Just be patience and don't be affected by the value today. Just look for tomorrow because everything here works through bitcoin.

Yes of course you should keep it.This fluctuating of price is not a new thing,but it will rise again and go to moon.In the middle of the year probably it's price will go upwards,till then keep holding it.

If you sell it then you will lose your money right now and regret later. Don’t panic when controlling yourself, this will only bring harm to you, just take a deep breath and let Bitcoin fly to make a new record of price. And next time understand how things work before you get involved further in them.

This depression may be the reason for Bitcoin investors. But now you have no other option than to hold Bitcoin. The Bitcoin market will be restored very soon and it may take months. I think there is no reason to be frustrated. This is normal because the market will go down. But it is clear from the history of Bitcoin that the price of Bitcoin will increase.

I would save it for another six years and see if you can, profits can maybe increase.

I just can not help it, because the total supply of Bitcoin is increasingly depleted.

as listed now in the bitcoin coin market cap supply is about 17,000,000 Bitcoin from the total supply of 21,000,000 Bitcoin.

so, the more expensive the coin is its price, let alone this Bitcoin as the first originator of the digital currency.

I'd already felt. What you feel, It is very hurt when every saw the price goes down and down. But I have deeply trust on bitcoin and I believed the price will okay in the future. So this my opinion that you can got with me. Hold anf hold only the way to taking back our lost.

Theres nothing to be feel depressed for nor worry about. It is only the beginning of the second quarter of this year, bitcoin value will be at high again before the year end. You will gain more profit if you hold your bitcoin than selling it now. Keeping it in long period of time and in the future you will not feel depressed, and surely you will be smiling at all times.

I think you do have a poor mindset which enables your thoughts fill with negativity and lack of patience. I loss a lot of money with bitcoin and scams and did not get any depression at all since i know that it is a very risky move which really a must knowledge before entering on digital world. Bitcoin will boost its price after entering the 2nd half of the year and nothing to be depressed man.

Im so depressed too. I buy 2btc about 9.1k$ and now almost 8k$ I lost. And I don't know what can I do now. My friend said "Its better hold and stay believes" I think my friend is right. So Ask some very important people to you what can they said advice about bitcoin and stay believed.

I do not think so. when you buy bitcoin at a low price, then right now, you will not be depressed, even you will be glad that the bitcoin price is currently going up pretty well. in addition, the current price increase is enough to raise some coin prices.

You can not do anything because it has fallen. The only thing you just now wait again lift its price and there to decide. Because if you sell it now you're sure to have dropped your investment. We can not say the times, Let's say it now suddenly it's up and you can not reach it

I never feel bored and not feel overwhelmed. because the money I invest in btc is money that I consider my savings. so I'm not too worried about the bitcoin price that is currently falling, because I am ready for long-term investment.

Please sell, but what you will get is only loss and regret or even depression later. You are not alone, others also feel the same thing. What you should do is strengthen your hands and your mind, don’t easily carried away by FUD or you will be eaten by the whale. Keep in mind that the key to success is perseverance and it also applies here.

I agree with yuo. Bitcoin will rise. It is our future.
I have no stake in either Bitcoin (BTC) or Bitcoin Cash (BCH). I only hold bitcoin.

It's really frustrating for holding bitcoin especially when you get the price continuously going down. Thus, holding needs extra patience. When you lose your patience,  you might get panic to sell yours. It depends on yourself. If you believe in the bright future of bitcoin,  you should keep it,  but if you don't believe,  then just sell it.

Bitcoin safe investment.There is no possibility of damage if Bitcoin Hold.Bitcoin hold for one month or two, good profit is not possible.Holds for one year. I think many profits are available.So don't worry.

Lol keep it. You'll feel more depressed when you sell it. You'll only incur more losses than gains since bitcoin pricing today are crazy cheap. If you still have money to buy bitcoins, I urge you to go buy more because bitcoin prices may probably rise once everything and every country is settled in with bitcoins.

Since you bought high, now you have no alternative than to hold. Bitcoin will rise back to its ATH at some point. You just have to patience. If you sell, then your loss becomes real.

Let's say you already sold your remaining bitcoin and Just be patience and don't be affected by the value today. I think you do have a poor mindset which enables your thoughts fill with negativity and lack of patience and  I think there is no reason to be frustrated. That's all

When you are holding bitcoin tou must be patient. Even in downfall of its price still keep holding, why? Simply because when you do panic selling then you will not get back your money, you are just going to lose it. Have faith on bitcoin because surely it will recover soon. Sell it today and youll regret it tomorrow.

I'm not feeling depressed while holding bitcoin, I have positive feeling that it will meet my expectations regarding its value. Also, patience is really a virtue, so I will keep holding.

I think best you can do is hold it for now because bitcoin will not forever in down price. Don't panic or stress yourself we cannot blame you that you buy at $12000 and lose a half of it. Like others said buy bitcoin when its dip but its ok even you buy in high price because bitcoin will rise again.

Being depress? Nah! That's always happening day by day and I'm immune with any kind of depression I'm just hold and thinking that the bitcoin value will Up again sooner or later. My friend just hold your remaining bitcoin who knows maybe the price will rise as what we expect.

just hang onto it.

hopefully it was money you can afford to lose if it really tanks, as thats how you need to think of "investing" in btc (or any crypto). kiss it goodbye, and see what happens.

dont look at the price, dont get depressed. just wait. check in 6 months, a year, two years. you might find yourself a very happy person then.

ive hodled some of my coin since 2011, and  all i can say is sit back and enjoy the ride. i certainly have been happy with my decision to hodl, even through the crashes, the "BTC is dead" phases (3 or 4 of those) and the long drawn out declines. its always come back (so far) and if it takes off your potential gains can far exceed your initial risk.

all you can lose is 12k, but you could gain much, much more than 12k.

maybe.

who are depressed, it is certain that those who sell bitcoin at cheap prices and then bitcoin prices rise to be very expensive it is certain they will regret having sold it at a cheap price.

Yes it is quite depressing watching bitcpin price go down day after day but never think of selling your bitcoin at all. For me I would never sell my bitcoin if I can't earn any profit out of it. The best thing I can do is hold and wait for the price to go up again. Don't go along with those panic sellers for in the end you will only regret selling your bitcoin.

Well if you give it up or transfer it to cash then you really had a big loss of your investment,while if you hold it until you can earn profit to your investment then that would be nice. You know that we can't predict Bitcoins price so you don't know what happen in the next few months, then you give it up and after a few months the Bitcoin suddenly rises up, then you in a big regret of your decision today.

I notice that so many people are entering Bitcoin without really knowing its real score. Did you guys even check the history of Bitcoin's prices before buying your own BTC? Please do so because it will educate you a lot.

I hope this is the last time that you ask about this. Do not sell if you are losing. And do not worry if you are losing in terms of Bitcoin value. It will not be there permanently. It will go back to its previous high price and even beyond. 

Ok.That is a good opinion. Here, allow me to give you my advice. You can sell all or some of  your bitcoin and buy again at lower price or you must be patient to wait until price recovers. Holding your coin may take a long time but you must be able to face it. Be optimistic that price will recover soon and you can get profit in the coming months. Selling your coin today, you are loss but buying again at lower price, you can expect profit later from this new transaction to cover your previous loss.

six years long. while waiting for the time to come, my suggestion is better you save little by little for your saving more and more. do not waste your time, make the best of it. buy when the price is cheap and save is the right time to increase your savings.

Trading with Bitcoin does have a risk of loss due to its unstable price.
You should still keep your Bitcoin because in the future it will probably be high prices and can replace your losses in the past when selling BTC.
You need to be patient and do not panic selling.

Relax and be patient. You have to abstain looking at the value of bitcoin because you are just hurting yourself day by day. What you need to do is set your goal at the end of the year. At that time try looking at the value of bitcoin. If it does rise then you get a profit for waiting, if not then wait for another year. Just don't sell it yet if it is below your invested value.

Hope you know brother the number one rule in trading specially in trading crypto. "put only what you can afford to lose" cause stress will kill you cant. yes there is a big possible to gain big amount of money in crypto but if theres a big of chance of winning there is also big percentage of losing your money, thats crytpo life, accept it, relax, take a break and think for long term. goodluck.

Why do people who cannot afford to lose money invest in cryptocurrencies? This is stupid. If you cannot stomach volatility, invest in gold. Bitcoin is not for the faint of heart.

with the condition stuck in that price I think there is no other option to be patient waiting for the price to rise again, while if you sell it on make sure you will incur losses and now slowly bitcoin prices start to go up

Have patient. You don't need to feel depressed. Holding bitcoin for long-term is always very profitable. The market wouldn't remain down forever, It would recover soon and may pump hard again.

HODL! This is my only advice to you. If you sell, that is the end of the whole story. Do not do that because you will only cut prematurely the ride of your portfolio. You are not giving it a chance to get back and recover. Stay patient because your portfolio is safe with Bitcoin. Your heart is not needed here. Your head is the one that is necessary. Leave your heart from any of this and it will heal... along with your portfolio.

Yes, it's a bit depressing to hold Bitcoin because you do not know how long it can be, it's difficult when Bitcoin is down, it's hard to wait, so Bitcoin must definitely trade in another currency.

Don't depressed friend, the bitcoin now is slowly rising. Holding and become patient for a long time is more profitable. Don't stock your mind in the price. Sit back and relax.

Yes it is a good idea to hold it. So sad that you have to buy  bitcoin as investment. It happens normally that the value is down. However it also rises. I think you have to be patient. Waiting will be worth it. The sad part is that in emergency that you have to sell it then you lose a part of it. Just hold and be hopeful. Trust bitcoin.

You will definitely feel depressed swing you investment turning into lost before your very eyes, but the only advice I have for you is to keep holding because that is the only way to overcome the depression and and the same time retain you assets.

Now you dont have to be worried everyday my friend because bitcoin and other altcoins are slowly climbing up. But at the start you shouldnt have worried at all because in the end, even though the prices are dropped, it will still rise back up. And you should be holding your bitcoin for long.

Yeah theres no such thing as gaining and gaining profits forever.
Once you invest in cryptocurrencies you should know and accept the risk that it will cause in the future.
Bitcoin is not for short term people, if you think about future, then just hold it, it will eventually break your loses.
Also just invest only the amount that you can afford to lose.
Happy trading.  :) :) :)

First of all, I think that your current state of mind is not very good. Of course, when you buy Bitcoin, it feels that it will go up. Then you can learn more about Bitcoin. You will find this is a normal phenomenon. I don't think you need to be so depressed. I believe that the price of Bitcoin will rise soon.

You haven't lost anything yet because you have not yet sold it. There is nothing you really can do but to hold and wait. If you think that the prices will continue to drop (which is not) then go and cut your losses and sell it.

you should keep btc. and wait. I think btc will up soon

I understand how you feel but stay strong and don't panic to sell your bitcoin at loss, be patient on this bear market because we will never know when the market will recover but eventually it will. Just hold your bitcoin and wait for the price to go up until December, keep your on bitcoin and you will profit.

Dont get depressed  for holding bitcoin because we all know in a long run bitcoin price will rise again.Maybe for now the value drop down but still we should believe in bitcoin because for almost 10 years their are already many people get rich because of bitcoin.

You have no choice but to keep it. I know the feeling because I bought also at $12,000 and after that, it drops at $10,000 below. Though I do not fear if it drops below $5,000 because I know it will still go up anytime soon. Just hold and have a bit of faith.

I understand how depressing it can be, but I guess with this kind of situation you need to be strong. Market condition may not always be in your favor, but never forget that holding needs patience and persistency. Don't ever get frustrated, life's like that, it has its high and low side but be positive, it will eventually and gradually rise. Just don't lose hope.

You shouldn't feel depressed about holding Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a new technology that can bring more help to people's future. You should be proud. Although, the price of Bitcoin has been falling in the previous period. However, this does not mean that the value of Bitcoin will decline. I expect Bitcoin to be very valuable in the near future.

Well,  you can take your own decision, but here is the thing you know bitcoin is a something unpredictable which is you can even guessing what's gonna happens later in here. Just remember bitcoin will never reach the high price easily, they have a process to go through. So,  waiting is kinda good opinion.

Not really. It is true that these days, a lot of negative news about bitcoin is circulating but I'm sure those who are holding large amount of bitcoin will not let themselves lose in their investment. Bitcoin will still rise one more.

just hold your bitcoin if you sell now you will just lose your money! the best thing to do is to wait and relax. always remember that every time the market falls it will raise don't panic

According to my suggestion HoDL, This is my exclusive exhortation to you. On the off chance that you offer, that is the finish of the entire story. Try not to do that since you will just cut rashly the ride of your portfolio. You are not allowing it to get back and recoup. Remain tolerant in light of the fact that your portfolio is protected with Bitcoin. Your heart isn't required here. Your head is the one that is essential. Leave your heart from any of this and it will mend.

why is bitcoin decreased this month? is it possible to be able to dominate the cryptocurrency again?

For me, my suggestion is to continue holding your your bitcoin and have patience waiting for the right time to sell your bitcoin. We don't know what will be the value of bitcoin in the future so we all hope that the price of bitcoin will rise soon.

In my own insight I will continue holding my bitcoin because we could not predict the future it may pump along the way. Bitcoin price is unpredictable it is low as of this moment but we don't know maybe it will rise to 1million$ so, I will hold it and sell it in the right time. I wait for the big value/price.

is no reason to feel depressed. If the money you invested is something you can afford to "forget" for some time until the price of bitcoin rises again then you will feel normal and not depressed.

There is no reason to feel depressed. If the money you invested is something you can afford to "forget" for some time until the price of bitcoin rises again then you will feel normal and not depressed.

to forget the money which is already invested in bitcoin is pretty heavy even more likely if people face up downtrend situations then they will always so depressed to see their investment value were decrease and the main problem why people depressed is because some of them are fear bitcoin could never recover back and for those who already bought bitcoin at high price i think feel depressed and worried is quite normal

I also experienced it and thought it was over. Cheer up, man! be patient a little longer, because now BTC has reached 8000. Hold it, be patient and be assured that this situation will pass soon and btc will be better soon

just keep it dude and yeah it really depressed when holding for a long time but i suggest you just need to not over thingking in it, when you want to invest just keep it and forget it, just let the time who working

Dont be depressed! its part of the risk when you enter cryptocurrency.
but as I see, bitcoins price is starting to recover, so it will go high soon.
just have faith in it! or if you do want some quick buck, you  invest your bitcoin to trading. just be wise on your trading and hopefully you have the best of luck when you trade!

Selling Bitcoins will only make you lose money. You shouldn't do this. You must keep in mind that short-term investments can't make huge profits. I can't tell you what to sell your bitcoins at. Investment in Bitcoin is a long-term option. If you want to make huge profits in the short term, I suggest that you choose Altcoins. It is very difficult for Bitcoin to make huge profits in the short term.
