What's your worst trade decision so far

[Snorek]

I wasn't around in time when bitcoin was still reaching its popular status. I joined the hype train after bitcoin reached ATH in 2013.
But since that time we had many price drops and I sold serious amount of my coins during price decline - for about ~$300 - compared to today's price it was a BIG mistake.

In short, my worst trade decision is "Buy high, sell low" because i got fake information from untrusted website and trusted FUD/troll in this forum

it does happened to me too several times but do not forget too for trollbox at exchange because people at there always give us false informations regarding the price and they trying to trap us and several times i did listen them but my trading results is always be loss

I know that when the price of bitcoin increases, altcoin prices will fall. but I tried to buy altcoin because I think it is at the lowest prices, but after I bought and the price fall further later in the end I got stuck and when I did cut lose and then the price increase again. this really makes me crazy.

My worst trade decision happened last week. I invested on z coin as its rate was increasing very fast. But i didnt do follow up for last two days. Since Bitcoin price increased, the Altcoin which i invested fell by 26 percent.But now , i have shifted my investment to Bitcoin again.

For me the error is that. Until you haven't sold at a loss, you haven't lost ! I think that in the path of ZCash and once the price of Bitcoin will have been flatened, ZCoin's price will climb again.

i have this experience too. i remember when price bitcoin was in $200-$300, i sold for 0.1 btc but after a weeks the price is going to high and i am regret why i am so get quickly to sell. this is happen when bitcoin halving and i think i have another experience like this too. i hope i can learn from this and don't make any mistake in future.

I don't play the markets, but it seems interesting. Any crazy stories out there?

Only thing close I have, when I got my first Bitcoin the price was $180 and had been holding steady for months. I needed some cash so I sold my Bitcoin for $180 and within 2 weeks the price of Bitcoin was over $1000. It was terrible. 

In retrospect, you could have just waited for a few more days and you could have reaped a very high profit. But nobody knows what will happen with bitcoins back then. Those who both at 1000 have suffered a big loss too when the price plummeted back to 200. At lease you did not suffer a loss.

My worst decision i made so far in trading is i just bought 0.2 bitcoin of BAC COIN in c-cex and then i saw it in yobit that the BAC coin is in 5000 satoshi per bac coin and if im going to buy bac in c-cex for 200 satoshi then i can really make my 0.2 bitcoin into 1 bitcoin and then i tried to send my bac into yobit and it's really take long till my bac was deposited in 24 hours and the price in the yobit is 180satoshi -_-

I'm not a trader as such, but my worst decision was to leave bitcoins at an exchange (MtGox) instead of keeping them safely offline in "paper" wallets.

That cost me 50btc. Needless to say, I won't make that mistake again.

Same here. one of the first hard lessons learned. I lost 7.5BTC in different altcoins (ZEIT, CTM, MOON) that were left on coinex.pw for trading. The exchange was robbed by its owner (March 2014) and my coins were sold at Cryptsy. Lesson learned hard way and since then I never leave more than necessary on any exchange.
