Title: Buy BTC half a year, loss 50%, how should I do
Post by: 754813890a on June 14, 2018, 03:04:26 AM
Buy coin half a year, money is loss-making, but recall to rise, discover to lose money also have law, summary is as follows

1. Holding the currency for too short a time: considering that it's not unusual for a digital currency to rise 30 percent or more a day, I bought it decisively when the currency was up 5 percent, causing me to buy it high. One day by the same token, the prices halved abound, so I will be selling low, this is the direct cause of the loss of 3 months before, but the deep-seated reason is that cash loss time too short, review previous course will find that the same digital currency, as long as the hold time is long enough (generally more than 3 months), so big probability can be profitable, a digital currency the top flange rare loss is also easy to control within 50%

2. Buy bitcoins: after careful observation, almost all bitcoins except BCH (bitcash) have been halved in price before being halved , this kind of money often have huge zhuang, trading volume is far less than total digital currency (a lot of money in the project team or similar staff's hands, bit by bit), these digital currency, mostly buy is deficient

3. Sell have loss money in cash, buy may jump in digital currency: exchange generally do not have free money, also don't want to charge more money in, and see which currency may jump, hurriedly sold the losses in the currency in money to buy, results in a yarn, so little by little kui, 100 yuan a month after they became 30;

Well you know the best thing is that's it's an investment and you cannot lose money or be in any loss until you sell the Bitcoins you own.
I understand it's been bad for the holders but you know we have seen such instances numerous of times and what the history has taught us is to keep hope for longer time and it will bear fruits soon enough.
Also you can always earn money from active trading .
Passive holding is something that is good only for the long run most of the times.

this is not a "currency" nor is it "bitcoin" that you are talking about here. this is the pump and dump shitcoins that you are describing here. they go up suddenly and drop big in a short time. if you can't handle this manipulation then stay away from the altcoin market but if you can there is a lot of profit to be made from the newbies who bag hold.

Then don't sell low?

Why did you buy BTC in the first place? Probably because you expect it to rise in the future? If so, then don't sell! The people who get screwed up in the cryptocurrency space are the people who only wants to make a quick buck.

Seriously I don't know how "buy low, sell high" is too hard to understand for some people.

Post by: erickkyut on June 14, 2018, 03:35:13 AM
That is the result if you bought because of Fear of Missing Out! The time you bought your coins was the time it was on peak. All you need to do is hold because the losses you just have today is just paper loss. It will be an actual loss the moment you sell it. Next time, buy during the FUD and sell during FOMO.

Lolz. Indeed this is the case. Even yesterday I suggested same thing to many people who said, I came to crypto started to make trades around and lost money when I sold at low. If you were supposed to sell at low then you dont understand a bit of the crypto currencies.

There is simplest formula, have them bought at bottom, wait for the right opportunity to come up front and just sell when the crypto price has risen more than your bought price. Really simple. Its just that they are sacred of loosing when crypto start falling, but such people never tend to get money back.

You should wait and hold till you get the price which may nearly or fully compensate it.

I would say really its very bad and discouraging, but all I can say is that patience is needed in this investment space to make profit. This times are really hard and holding now seems a bad thing. I believe good times are coming and only patient ones will enjoy it.


Title: Re: Buy BTC half a year, loss 50%, how should I do
Post by: p3ppymon on June 17, 2018, 09:04:15 AM
I can suggest you to pursue with option 1 and 2. Just keep waiting and the patience will pay off eventually. If you can’t wait so long, keep buying more so you average the price down. Hence, it will take less time to be profitable when there would be an eventual price recover.

Now nothing needs to be done! just wait and stop worrying! By the end of 2019 it will cost more than $ 23,000 and bring you a good income! So do not be upset and stop worrying about the empty!

hi,

do not sell at 50% loss.because yours coin amount did not change.there only change their value, that mean you have chance to generate profit when their value increase.so that keep in good faith,do not panic.cheers!

Post by: randythered on June 17, 2018, 09:20:46 AM
You haven't lost anything until you sell. People often compound their mistakes with more mistakes, they buy high and then they sell low. Right now most people would agree the price is low and that the long-term trend will be upwards so don't sell.

Agree then sell low, mostly of the newbies tend to panic when the price got low or got dump then they will sell their coins. Now the purpose why you buy bitcoin is to gain profit but the price  now is low  of what price youve bought the bitcoin , thats life it is not always pumping , there are really times that it dumps a lot now we could guaranteed that it would be back but we dont know the exact date , now  are you willing to sell it if in the near future it could double your money or sell it now then loss a -50% of your money

My advice is just to take your time and be patient what ever you do. And obviously invest with money you can afford to lose.

Post by: Nhor1011 on June 17, 2018, 09:39:43 AM
   You will not lose anything if you keep on holding your coins even the market keep on falling because from falling it will rise and you will gain profit if you have a lot of patience. If you hold for long term you will surely earn but if you panic because you see market slowly drop down then you decide to sell all your coin in a cheaper price then surely you lose your coins instead of gaining a profit.

what you do and what kind of strategy you choose to make profit depends on what you believe in and what works best for you.
my analysis tells me that bitcoin has a very good long term potential and i also am better investing in long term in bitcoin so that is what i do.
it also tells me that altcoins don't have the potential in the long run so i  never stick around in any of them for long. i stick to short term trading of altcoins because i do believe that's where the profit is.

Honestly, I would go for the first option. Just look at the historical price of Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies. Pumps and dumps are something normal at this point because cryptocurrency market is still too small to resist manipulations. However I doubt that it will crash because of many famous people supporting cryptocurrencies. Give it a few more months and then decide whether or not you should sell it.

Post by: Raggie on June 17, 2018, 01:49:53 PM
half a year ago means you bought it on december 2017, when it was the peak point.
You should buy bitcoin when the price is low, not high. If you bought it earlier, you would not loss.
for me, i do the safe : buy when low, and sell when high. Other than that, it will risk me to getting loss later.

In the encrypt investment, the time of investment is very important. Unfortunately, I began to enter the market in December last year, and my investment is worse. I have lost 80%. Because most of my buying is altcoin.

Well if you've entered just last december then even if you've bought btc, you're probably in a big loss right now. Why did you get in in the first place? If you believe in the project you've invested on, then holding until you break even shouldn't be an issue even if you have to wait for a longer time

You haven't lost anything until you sell. As Gabmen said, if you believe in the projects then wait until they return to their previous prices. It might take a year or even more but it will likely get there eventually.

Now you need to hold because if you sell it will become the actual loss and no way to compensate.

You should not expect fast and big income from crypto currency. In addition, you need to remember that the crypto currency is very volatile by nature. Now the period of the fall, and quite long, many lack patience. They need everything at once, but it does not always happen. Those who make mistakes or have no patience, leave the world of crypto currency. So it was and so it will be in the future. Patience is the key to success.

Buy coin half a year, money is loss-making, but recall to rise, discover to lose money also have law, summary is as follows

Investing into bitcoin is though profitable but you need to be very wise while investing into bitcoin and the first thing you need to have that you need to be little bit are patience because holding bitcoin is very important part of investing into bitcoin, you need to be very precise when you need to buy bitcoins or when to sell them or when to hold them , this is very important to make profit from bitcoin, my advice for you is that you should now wait till the valuation inflates again to recover from loses.

Yes it's true since we all know that the market price is like a roller coaster sometimes up and sometimes down. So as of this moment that there is a decrease in market price I still hold and wait for the right time.

You should have been aware of the potential loss. Cryptocurrencies are not only about profit, you should invest in them only if you understand the basics and believe that they will play a huge role in the near future. I personally think that they will replace fiat and that's why I'm buying Bitcoin. Also, I find it interesting to learn about crypto.

Stop investing in bitcoin for the time being and wait it out if you're really in a big loss.
Doesn't make sense to throw more money in when you're in that situation.

It is advisable that you should wait. If you had bought bitcoin when it was high, you are only a victim for once and it may not happen again if you prevent it. I advise that if you have the funds, buy more now when it is low so that when it goes up again you can make and moreso, be patient it will still $50k in 2018 by speculations.

If in half a year you buy Bitcoin and already lose 50%, then you buy Bitcoin at the time Bitcoin Prices are high-high, around December 2017 ago. my advice, keep your Bitcoin hold until the end of this year, hopefully at the end of this year bitcoin prices can go up like last year.

Try to keep calm mind and wait (HODL) till the price will go up, selling your bitcoins (if you bought them before) will make, as stated, actual loss.

if you have a skill when you trading in bitcoin and another platform right now the good ways is buy more bitcoin and wait until the price is high so you can sell it and don't get big lost, i don't know what name of this method but as i know this is work for people that have skilled to observation

you need to know that bitcoins are not created for a short time. do you use bitcoin from 2010? if it is true please you observe and observe well both about the issue of bitcoin development in the world. all issues have been circulated in the world of crypto but bitcoin keeps developing as it should. people are always thinking bitcoin will surely be able to generate profits in brief and I really do not like it if people still think bitcoin is a tool of the rich man

Bitcoin did not guarantee that its a sure earnings when you buy the dip because what is happening right now is when you buy the dip but it dips more that is why you already lost 50% of your investments. There is nothing you can do but to keep on holding because selling it to cut the losses is not a good idea but holding it will give you a chance that you will take back your losses. Remember this is Bitcoin and not a shit coins so expect a bounce back before this year would end.

If you are going to sell your btc at the current market which is much lower when you had invested,  definitely you will loose your investment.  I think the standard procedure should have been is buying during bear market and not wben market price is already high. If I am in your position,  I would have to wait until it will recover to the price value when you bought your btc.

You should observe the market not only this year but years before. You should understand that losing money is only temporary if you do not sell it. You just hold and wait for it to rise again
