Hi! As we can see, ETH is collapsing, I got about 40 ETH which I bought for 450$, I know, that was mistake. Please give me advice, should I sell now or take a risk and do it when we reach 150$?

It depends on your capability, can you hold it at least for 1 year or even more than that ? if you can hold it for that long, why not !?
currently we are in capitulation, if you were here for more than 4 years you should have know this.
it was not the first time we are facing this kind of situation, if you looked back in 2014~2015 we were facing the same thing.
the market was extremely bearish because of capitulation and Mt.Gox exit scam, but afterward ? it changed.

there is no mistake if you have a strategy, think smart and be calm.

I think if I were you I would hold my property if I didn't need this fund immediately, hold on for a few more months I am sure this will go up again, I guess it's just a matter of time. But it's up to you.

no. You still should not sell it now or when its price is $ 150. You should know that Cryptocurrency is one of the most thriving markets and blockchain technology is highly valued. If you sell it now or at a lower price, you have suffered a loss. Its future is good, so why not hold on for more than 1 year?

According to my own research it's not the ETH selling time I think. I also believe ETH price will not go under $170 SO I would like to request you don't sell your ETH now. I think you have a good amount of ETH if you can hold it until the last of December that will be better. So keep more patience and hold your ETH.

It looks so stable and I just think if that could be a wrong decision to sell your coin consider about the bubble can happen anytime. When you are selling your coin and then you have no chance to recover your money again. But this is a difficult situation because in another words you must secure your money before it worth zero in the future if there will be another bearish trend.,

That's not a mistake if you are just going to hold it until it reaches back $500-$1,000. Why are you going to sell at loss? are you sure that you are good with cutting losses? I also hold ETH and even bought during high price than yours but I'm still fine and cool with it. I'm long term with ETH so I'd like to say that just be calm and hold until the market goes up again. You don't need to rush if you really want to get some profit in the future, don't look with the current price and ignore it, just HODL.

You should not worry and panic with ETH. Just be more patient and continue believing in ETH. I still have the feeling that the market will return at any time and ETH will be at $ 700 $ 800. But I do not think it can return to the $ 1000 mark at the end of the year.

Don't do that You have lost 75% of your capital and you should continue to hold, Don't look at the current price. Try to hold as long as possible and wait, if you sell right now you lose and you will cry if it goes up after you sell it all

Ethereum is currently in downtrend, other cryptocurrencies are similar. But that does not mean that the price of ETH can not rise in the future. If I were you, I would not sell that amount. Everything will turn over and you will return the investment.
Similar differences in the course of cryptocurrencies have been in the past, for example in the case of BTC. The Bitcoin prize was $ 1100 and then went to $ 300. And those who would sell then would regret today. Because the BTC is now $ 6300.
Take it as a long-term investment.

Just hold until the next boom. I'm looking to sell my ETH at $2500 and $3000 in a couple years during the next boom. No reason to sell for bottom dollar prices after a major crash. ETH is still the major crypto after Bitcoin and nothing else even comes close. That could change during the next boom, maybe one of these competing networks will start to challenge ETH, but for right now I don't see why you wouldn't just hold on to it (and that goes for every coin) until the next bull run starts going vertical in probably 2020.

No, don't sell for a low price now because you will fix losses. I can recommend to buy more ETH now for $200 to reduce the average purchase price of Ethereum. And if ETH will be dumped to $150 you would buy more cheaper ETH. When the new bull run will begin ETH will reach $300 and you will fix the profits.

Sometimes ETH price is about $205 and sometimes it's goes under $200 After all ETH is struggling now.
Probably it's price will recover at the end of this year or at the first of 2019
And my opinion is it's the not selling signal for ETH.

If you ask me. Buying ETH at $450 price range is never a mistake because we have some people that bought during the last ATH and still their coins and the best thing you can do now is wait till December holiday but if you have spare money you could when it thanksgiving.

the fact is that all negative statements about ethereum or information that forces selling ethereum is nothing more than a provocation. one thing is not clear to me what these people are pursuing by spreading all this news.

what else ? spreading the fud/news about certain project and suppress the price to maximize the profit,
it has been done by many companies or groups or individuals before, not surprising to see it again in the future. it is part of strategy and it never fails the user before, so why do not they use it for their own benefit ? it is all about business and money.

The fluctuations in the price of Ethereum is doesn't mean the price of Ethereum will be collapsed.As compared to yesterday the price of Ethereum is moving in positive manner.If the price of bitcoin or Ethereum is just fluctuates to low value, don't sell your valuable coin at low price due to panic.

If you sell it now, you'll get very little. I'd rather leave it for about a year, maybe even two. It has every chance to grow in price. It's just that now is a difficult time for all cryptocurrencies.

You should've set your target before you bought your ETH. Do not panic since not just ETH is decreasing but the whole market is. It would be better to forget about it for a while and invest to other alts or even in BTC. Remember it was more than $1k so meaning chances are it will go back or more than that.

I dont understand why you bought eth for that price ??

That means eth price was going down when you bought or you didnt sell when the price was pumping and now you are locked with your money.

People give always advice to hold or to buy more, but buying coins when the market goes down is not smart.

And holding coins with the hope for higher price is also not a good idea in periods like this..

I dont like to give advice but if the price goes under $180 eth will go to $150 or maybe $100..


Crypto is not what it was begin of 2017..
Almost every developer create a token or coin now and make a simple website create a roadmap and whitepaper fake future projects partnerships and give some bounties to promoters create a hype and dump there millions and millions of coins to the mass.. Its the fastest way for a developer to buy a lambo.

Look how many ico's there are.. This guys behind this coins are stealing peoples money.

Most news websites about crypto is owned by developers of some coins.. They use fake news like partnerships to pump the price to dump there bags.. Why should a company like ibm microsoft or alibaba partner with a coin ?? They have enough developers and also the best developers and enough money and enough people to create a coin and create a huge hype behind that coin..
Alibaba or ibm or apple can create 10x better coins then ethereum this guys are developers from another level..

be patient and hold on for the next few months, because I heard that ETFs have the chance to be approved. indeed ETFs are not for ethereum, but this is important for the crypto market and could trigger market movements to immediately increase.

Don't lose hope mate, hold until your capital back. If you sell that ethereum you lose 80% of your capital or investment.
I advice don't check every minute the price. Take a break mate,
This is the reason why many people getting greed because they panic. So better for you to take some rest. Just leave the ethereum on your wallet.

Why do you sell it? pressured by need? if it is indeed pressed for necessity, then sell it.
But if you can still survive then hold on to get an increase again, this situation makes you a little confused and panic, but be patient!
I think there's still time for eth to rise again.

I don't often see ETH prices and ETH investments as a good choice if you have faith in the developer of the project. I think this technology will probably develop very well in the future and ETH will be the name that many people will mention in the future so do not sell ETH and keep it in the long run.

Now I'm also converting all the coins to ETH, I also believe that there will be times when ETh will rise above $ 1000. So I'm comfortable with this coin, maybe in the short term they will rise again, and then it's my chance to sell ETH.

I don't know what you are saying about ETH prices and ETH investment being a good choice. Regardless of the situation of ETH right now and what OP wants to aim, I'll hold until it regains the momentum again.

There's time for every coin to recover and it only matters if OP is willing to wait for more months until the bear exits.

40 eth that you have is a large amount, I see if you sell now you will experience a big loss, keep hold and patiently wait until prices rise at the end of this year. do not bet your money for a sense of regret because it will not give profit.

At present ETH prices are down to just $ 200, and if compared to a few months ago, the ETH value has dropped five times, so many have been waiting for the recovery of this coin, too, if Sell now very regret because the income will be much lower, but waiting for long time I do not have enough patience.

the best advice that i can give you is that in this market if you can not make up your own decisions for when to buy and when to sell and what to buy/sell then you should be in this market. so if you have trouble making decision then my suggestion is to sell and getting out of the market until you can answer your own questions!

there is no any selling signal for ethereum for long term.

you can buy ethereums from 200 dollars.
it has big potential for 500 dollars in short term.

I also have the same thoughts as you, but I still fear, because ETH prices are constantly declining, if the price falls below $ 100 may be even more tragic, capital loss will be more, though. However, we have to take risks, because we dare take risks to make a profit.

If you bought in at $450 per ETH, then the current price of around $200 is a great opportunity to buy some more and lower your average purchase price. I don't think we're going to see any more severe drops for ETH below $200.

Thats right! But remember everything has risk and in this industry there's high risk as sometimes some of our investment is just a bubble that will pop instantly. Well, for me trust and gaining knowledge about the coin/token are the key for getting a lot if profit.

ETH will never go down at $ 150 and you should not be so worried. Although the downturn is still happening, I believe the altcoins will still be worth it. I think you should hold onto it until it rains $ 600 per coin. that's the best strategy. Set a profit goal and try to achieve it. good luck.

This is the hesitation that you are facing if indeed you are not comfortable with the current price then sell it. But if you are still patient and waiting then save it for a few months or years then the miracle will be on your side. Rest assured to get profits in the future. Eth still has value and a good future.

If you know how to trade, you can trade 20 ETH with those cheap altcoins that has potential to pump in next week or in next month and the remaining 20 ETH should put on hold. This is a risk but you have a chance to get back your capital if those altcoins will make a pump.

Yes, that is how we should now buy ETH to minimize the purchase price of the previous purchase. So I think we should be careful, because now many people find ETH down and they fear, sell ETH, but that is a big mistake.

The price is now $ 197 and is on the downward trend, so they are likely to drop to $ 150, the crypto market is not going to be sure. Yes, it is difficult to be successful if we are not patient.

Just by being patient to be able to have an advantage, it is better to be patient and wait.
This is indeed boring but this is what happened.

Well,,, whether or not it was a mistake buying at $450 depends on what your intentions were. Did you want to turn it into profits, thinking it could recover to $900 for an instant doubling of money? If so, then okay, maybe it was a mistake because now you are less than 50% in original value. Selling at $150 to me means you already lose $300 to 1 ETH = $12,000k losses. If I were you, I would just hold on to it at this point, because it could even go down to $100 true, but there is much more possibility for it to recover and then grow further once the 2.0 is in place.

It is sort of pointless to cut losses now, you should have set your stop at $400 or around if you wanted to speculate short term.

It doesn't make any sense to sell them at this level. If you need urgent money, I can't make any suggestions for you. But if you have patience to wait, you should do some more hodl for your ETH.

I do not advise you to sell ETH even if you bought it at a price of 450 dollars. you should keep it until the next growth and you will earn well

it depends on you, if you are still sure and don't need the money too much maybe you can still save it until next year.
that is why always invest with free money, so when a situation like this happens you are not too pressured.
remember this, when you invest you need patience to get results.

if you don't need money then don't sell your ETH, keep it hold until the price is increase and sell them right away if you earn profit.

You better hold that ETH until 2020 because I am pretty sure that it will reach an all time high next year or by 2020. Ethereum 2.0 is near to come and it may hold a surprise that may pump its price so you better hold these 40 ethereum you had. Investment takes time to take a profit and a price correction is inevitable so what happened to ETH price is normal which also happened to other altcoins. Remember, ETH always follows BTC foot steps in price movement and also gains bigger based on what I observed.

Even if he needs money, he should not sell it. He has really lost so much and if he sells now he will have to regret his whole life, just try and pass this stage, everything will become much better

Don't see ETH reaching $150 unless there's issues across the overall market, price has remained steady the last months and I expect that to continue until there's a change towards an upward trend. ETH is a strong buy right now IMO so I wouldn't be selling if I held any.

Mate what is wrong with you? I mean what is that topic title? Don't listen other people, check what is the situation, what are the possibillities by your own and than analyze and decide after all :)

if you don't need this fund right away, wait a few more months. I'm sure this will rise again, I think it's only a matter of time. It depends on your ability, even if you serve it for at least 1 year or maybe even better
  if you have been here for more than 5 years, we are currently in capitulation, you should know this.
This is not the first time we have faced a situation like this if you look back in 2013 we faced the same thing.
but after that everything changed.

it's true because to sell ethereum coins now it's very unfortunate because with a short time later ethereum prices will definitely experience a good price increase. and I'm sure of that

Better to take a risk because after that you will get benefits from ethereum which is high profit. Because if person sell their ethereum they will not get profit because you will not see the price to increase. Don't mis the opportunity to buy and keep more ethereum that you have.

is good still hold
if you want still trade you can use margin trading, in poloniex bitfinex or another exchanger support margin trading

The subject title seems to misleading to your own problem, but anyway, $450 is still not that big if we do talk it on the last year price situation but today its a loss to sell it for $150 or less, you should hold it and don't start something that you might regret in the future. But if you do need that money then it's up to you to sell it or find another way for the money that you needed.

At this moment bearish market are not end, i suggest extend your patience wait for the price stablization or cryptocurrency markets. Selling today aren't advisable because a lot of loses you can got in your investment, but only you can decide what is the best for you.

I advise everyone to keep eth, not to panic. and I tell everyone that this is a long-term investment (2-3 years). previously, we have seen such a decline in the market. but it is cyclical, and profits are not far off.

I just want to know why you bought 40 eth? That is so many for you if don't understand about trading. That lot of money, I suggest you for the next time, just buy partially until you get the bottom.
In my advice just hold your eth, $450 is cheap price for eth that still undervalue.

I think you didn't make mistake because ETH is the most reliable coin after BTC and it is widely use for ICO project. I have a strong believe on ETH and i believe that it will reach again new value within 2019. So i suggest you that, if you don't need emergency money so please hold it untill on June, 2019.         

Whatever you have held just keep the patience and hold until you gain. As, you are talking about the ETH let you know that Ethereum has wide use for the token creators and the blockchain is in heavy demand. Due to the current market new which is unfavourable of the crypto so keep quite and invest more if you want. Even, in $200 price ETH is not so costly.

You only lose if you sell and I strongly believe that ethereum is going to recover in future.  We are too early in predicting continuously going down and not recover.  Ethereum was once selling above $1450 and if you buy at $450 is not a mistake or bad investments decision. You just need to keep holding in other to be able to sell above your purchase price.
There is no way you can accurately predicting ethereum or bitcoin price and the market move in your favor but it will always move in your favor if you can be patience and having a long term view in mind.

if you don't believe in ETH anymore you always can buy some coin that has collapsed too but you see huge reasons for it to rise, since most of decent alts have trading pairs against ether

there are still many who make mistakes like you, I myself have bought ETH when the price is higher than you and until now it still keeps it until the price can return to its highest number or until the price can be higher when we buy it.
if you sell it now you only get a substantial loss, you should wait until next year because the price will be able to grow again. if you have more capital you should return to buy again at the current price, it looks like it's the best solution for the assets you have.

You wouldn't loss unil you sell. I think you should believe in ETH cause it's the best altcoin at the moment although price of ETH is being very low because of downward trend but maybe at the end of this year when bearmarket over, everything will be better. I think you should keep holding and wait till the end of this year or maybe early of next year.

I really wonder you have 40 Ethereum but you are now thinking to sell your eth at a low price. Listen market up and down is a natural system. I want to say keep hold your eth patiently and wait for a good pump. Not sell your eth at a low rate and just wait and hold.

That is not the mistake you have made, there will be many people who have experienced the same thing with you even they are an old investor in cryptocurrency. Every place of investment will not be predictable easily and correctly, everyone who predicts will find difficulties and they do not know the price that will really be achieved. And also, every investment place will provide benefits if someone chooses a long-term investment, this happens at ETH, you should not think about selling the ETH you have in a loss condition, you just have to hold until market recover.

It is not a mistake mate, you'll see it growing in the couple of weeks from now, just be patient as it have a huge possibility that it will multiply twice from the price that you have bought it. Prices fluctuates anytime, so you'll have to check it every now and then. 

If you want to sell ETH now, then it is not a good time to do this, because now you see, ETH prices drop very low, down more than 70% compared to the beginning of 2018, but if you guessing that ETH can not be increased, then selling is a good option that we should do.

If you sell your Eth now you will get a huge loss, but if you have a fear that you can defeat you, it doesn't hurt to sell with a loss. For sure you don't regret when Eth increases later.

I suggest you can trade to reduce your losses,
yes daily trading can make new options instead of just holding it back. but of course this is not easy, you must need a plan and experience

I can't see that ETH is collapsing. Yes it has dropped more than some of the other top coins, but the project is still hugely strong. I am very confident that it will recover when the rest of the market does, and that ETH will rise more quickly than most other coins. I don't think there is any reason for concern. Give it time and ETH will surely pass $450 again.
As for what to do now, it sounds strange but the best thing to do is buy more if you can as this lowers your average entry point (dollar cost averaging).

Wait for 200 dollars this is exactly the bottom of the coin, it will not fall below. Up to 400 can reach literally two months of next year, or even higher. Although there is a danger from the side of the ripple, but so far passive.

In my opion, it will be better if you hold you ETH, dont do cut lose or panic sell. The fact is all cryptocurrencies are  have fluctuating character. Just wait for the right time to sell. The price will not always go down.

some tokens dropped down even 90%+. If you strongly believe one of them will will recover, then you shouldn't be afraid to buy if for your ether even tho you are having loss with ether

170 $ is the bottom of ETH, It can not fall below that price. Looking at ETH right now, its price has risen to 218$ today and its target this week is 250$. The market is recovering and ETH too

I understand your pain. In a down market we have to suffer and that is the experience for you. I think you should sell half to invest in ICO projects. ICO projects are now quite good and get a lot of support from many investors. When you buy tokens of some good projects like NEOex, when the market goes up. Your investment will increase further based on their bonus.

keep hold and don't sell when you sell eth right now you just lose profit and it's not good, I see you have to be patient and wait for eth prices to grow optimally. it can be used as a good profit rather than having to sell.

First, I don't think you should buy a coin for $450. That should actually be good in the future but Ethereum just peeking $1,300 last January if I'm not mistaken and buying it for $450 is not good. You should've waited for it to get lower until it reaches the $200 point again. As of now, I would advise you to hold and wait for it to become more profitable again. Because if you dump it now, there will be no chance for you to earn more profit. You haven't taken the loss if you haven't dumped your coins.

Do not worry. The fact that you bought Ethereum for $ 450 is not nice of course, but it's not at all scary. The price will be much more, you need to believe)

All signs are pointing to a bull run these next few months.  All you have to do is hold your ethereum and the price will be over $450.  I know you may be scared but just have some patience and don't fall for the FUD.  People are just trying to get others to panic sell so they can buy up cheap crypto and make a lot of money.  Stay strong brother.

it looks like he had hold it in hopes that it will grow. if he had hold this long still, i think he better just hold after all eth team had already made some updates recently and had been working to make some improvements to its platform. eth wil still be a good investment for you. 40 eth is probably worth more than enough for you to buy yourself a house one day.

Why have to buy Signals.
Free verified and strong signals found here.

If you bought ETH for $ 450 and now they are $ 200, we should buy more to minimize the average price. And wait, now you see, the ETH value is rising, and holding them and expecting at $ 500 is possible.

Ouch that's a big loss if you will compute the price and investment incurred now. Actually, you only loss big if you sell. I think just hold it. But if you have extra fund, just average the loss by buying at a very kow price. For me, I dont considered it loss when youre not yet trading it foe the price now. It will only become loss when you put a sell order on an exchange. Just relax and hold it. If you need the money then that's the problem you will really incurred loss. But before you invest, you should only invest money you dont need for living cause that will really put you in a criical situation.

you are right. the only signal to note is when the ETH price is above the initial price when you have it. well, it is indeed quite difficult to hold it back, but it has become something that must be done to avoid losses.

This is a false single, I don't think it is a good time for selling ETH, because still it is growing and needs some more time for its further growth. So have patience, it has high potential in its growth. So wait for that right moment when you will make a huge profit from it.

Let's hope that it can make a good profit in the future because the value of ETH has been falling dramatically since the beginning of the year and there are no signs of recovery. I think ETH technology will continue to evolve, but the value of ETH is a mystery that anyone can predict. I personally believe that the ETH value will increase at some point and that will be a matter of time

Yeah buy more while still at lower price will help reduce your capital but only if you have extra funds. We should extend our patience to wait for the best price and never sell our ETH in losing price.

I think the worst of the market will fall further. According to Murphy's rule, when the possibility of a bad situation happens, it will happen. It's good that you can buy a lower price. But be careful. It is risky.

I wouldn't now to sell eth or other aльткoины because it now price too cheap. costs will be to grow at the beginning of 2019, the

I wouldn't sell it now. Ethereum is a coin that has proven itself and there is a possibility that after this fall it will easily recover. In order not to lose money in my opinion better to keep the coins.

ETH will rise and go back to its old highs above $1000 when the market turns bullish and starts going up. Nobody knows when that will happen so need to wait and watch. Selling now near the bottom at a big loss is not good.

I was going to sell my coins yesterday but today I see another picture and I don't really know what to do! I think I will wait till 2019 and will see how it goes.

Its somewhat a really big amount already so the decision only depends on you whether to sell it or not.But for me, since you already bought eth, its better to wait at least a x3 to x5 profit at least.But as long as you made profit on it already then its somehow much better than selling it at loss.

Good take that you didn't rushed like other panic sellers that don't see any hope to ETH's potential.

Deciding going long on ETH is a good decision, I'm not saying this because I also hold ethereum but the market is just looking good. You see it now at red but we may not know if this red will be permanent which I believe isn't going to stay for the rest of our lives.

Not only ETH but also all other projects. Everything may turn up, but not more time.

The point is to buy low and sell high. Are you really thinking of buying high and selling low instead?

Hold just hodl it. ETH will catch up for sure. It may take time but for sure it will reclaim its place and will go back to its ATH. You ready lost a lot so why not wait? Remember that market is down, save and forget about it for some time.

That's a wrong decision mate if you sell your ETH in a low price,be Patience don't panic about ETH price fall because not only ETH experience this situation almost of the tokens now has a big price fall much better hold your ETH until it will reach to its previous price.

ETH is a good coin for long term buy and hold. Just be patient and hold for the next bull rise than selling now at a big loss.

cryptocurrency is fluctuating when prices go down don't panic to sell because you will suffer losses, then be patient we wait until the market does a bullrun and we can trade daily to look for profit.

it looks like you are misplaced to provide this information and you need to know that the signal for cryptocurrency price movements will not be right, everything depends on demand and seems to be just speculation.

ETH is the most attractive alt-coin, even though ETH prices have experienced a devastating fall due to various things, but we still believe that the market situation will direct the ETH towards a better one. If the positive signal from ETH doesn't arrive, maybe December 2018 will be the end of a gray year for ETH prices.

in my opinion the decision is in your own hands because with conditions and situations like this now belief and patience are the main capital in investing
