That moment when you buy 1BTC at $2500

[moriskarlov]

Definitely you should hold them. Price will rise to 3000$ in in the second quarter of 2017.

That moment when you buy 1BTC at $2500, and then 3 days later someone buys it at $2000. But I'm guessing that it's the risk involved in investing, so what do I do now? Sell? Or hold on them?

I hold mine for now but I'm still waiting for the price to go down even more. But overall don't worry the price will recover and who knows even reach new highs.

Hold them. Dont panic. Everything will be in a perfect places. I think bitcoin price will be so much greater in few more days and in few more months. You doesnt worry about that thing. Bitcoin price will go higher, yes it will dump sometime but thats normal. The people who are patient reaps what they have been invested. Be patient my friend , keep calm and store your coins for awhile.

You shouldn't be buying or selling at a loss.

If you want to buy or sell at a loss that is up to you. Are you able to use that money you get from selling to make a profit? If no then you are likely better of holding until it goes back up later.

Don't invest more than you can afford to lose.

Definitely hold! price is recovering, never sell at a loss. i bought some too at $2300, i'm in for long. i keep buying small amounts, one day these small amounts will be really big.

[sportis]

I do not think I will buy at this price unless I need to spend it immediately in order to buy a good or service where no other way of payment is good for me. Nevertheless, if I buy it so high and I see the price rapidly declining I'll buy altcoins or I will wait the price to go up again.

Obviously that is the risk that someone else gain is another one loss and for someone who has been involved and know the mechanism of how it works won't be surprised that its just a set back that will recover but for someone who is of the opinion that I invest at $2500 then by next week should be $3000 so I can make the differential profit will utterly be disappointed and might even be discouraged about crypto generally.

I think bitcoin is not cheap on this day, let's look at bitcoin prices higher than what you write on this thread

Since it's already a loss then it's a shit if it will sold just to minimize the risk. Selling on price decrease is not a wise way. Since bitcoin price will surely get back again at that range or even more then just hold it even it will take time. And while doing that, spare some funds to buy again at the dipping rate so that you can maximize your win win situation.

Bitcoin already breaks some of the high price speculation and surely it will break of some dream price that others want like close to $5,000 or something like that. HODL!

[drvoodoo]

In a similar boat.  Except that after three days of trying to get verified and watching the price rise and rise, I ended up buying at close to $2800 in a mad frustrated panic.   

Definitely now wishing I'd held out just a day or two, but still confident of future prospects.  And nice to now have an at least small stake in it so that watching all the news and developments is more interesting.   

[findingthemoon]

Unless you are a trading genius or extremely lucky you will never get it right in the short term, so you have to think of your long term gains. Here on this forum most people would agree we are headed eventually for 5k+ if not much more so your best bet is to hold it and wait, the weak hands that sell in a panic during a crash are always the ones that lose the most money.

[brokedummy]

I sold a lot of my bitcoins at 1200 what do I do? All in on shitcoins.

[giveen]

Of course you should hold your coins as it surely some what your fault also as you should have at least done a little research about risks involved and reason for a price fall and stuff. Normally if you see in past also whenever bitcoin has gained some 500$ or a really high amount in a very short period that is the time you prepare for a huge dump. But anyways if you hold for 6 more months I'm sure you will get a decent profit.

[Pettuh4]

Definitely you should hold them. Price will rise to 3000$ in in the second quarter of 2017.

Yes I'm very optimistic it will shoot up further in the third and fourth quarter of the year and that's why it is advisable to hold even if you bought it at a not so cheap price and it has depreciated in value because it will jump again due to the increase in global adoption and you'll be next to profit.

If you bought much at that time i would recommend you to hold since people predict the bitcoin's price will be hit 3k dollars in this year. I personally keep buying bitcoin, as much as i can whatever the price, for long term investment purpose to be honest cause i trully believe that the price will be skyrocket in many years later. Well this is might be hard decision for you when you buy at high and see the price down, all i can say just don't do the panic selling.

[leopard2]

in 2013 some guys bought $1300 BTC

2 years of depression...

They still made 100%.

Always cost average when investing 

[lighpulsar07]

good thing i didn't buy bitcoin at the price of 2500 because when the time bitcoin crashed from 2700 to 2200 i know it will be another crash and i am right  bitcoin crashed again. to those who buy bitcoin at high price, just hold them, it will be a huge loss if you sold it early bitcoin will soon recover from the crash so, don't worry about it.learn from your mistakes so it will never happen again consider this as a lesson.

If you sell at $2000 you are in loss or getting panic selling, i will hold it till price rise again

I am quoting myself a year ago: 
 
That technology is known as blockchain technology, and it is going to be EVERYWHERE soon. 
 
    I highly recommend focusing a portion of your future Investments in Bitcoin and anything related to blockchain technology.  These are the rising trends in all sectors of finance.  I vow to personally invest continuously in Bitcoin, even if only in tiny amounts, as often as I can because I am predicting great riches to all who buy in the next few years.  We are at the golden dawn of great change. Wealth is in the future, thanks to Bitcoin and the  "Blockchain”  chain technology from which our beloved Bitcoin was born.
 
I encourage you to venture into a search of your own , and decide if bitcoin investing is right for you.
 
You will be glad if you do.

And then I spent instead of saved so now, when I pay 2500 for a coin I wince in agony, it will continue upward though so keep positive, invest happily and profits will follow.

I've been holding for 5 years. Here's how I would look at it.

Either Bitcoin becomes insanely high in value and $USD price or it goes to Zero. You are prepared for this before you enter the market.

If Bitcoin fails, you lost $2500, but the odds of it succeeding grow with every day that it continues to exist.

Pretend that every Bitcoin you purchase is going to be worth $50,000 (for example).

You just bought a $50,000 asset for $2500. Do you realize that?



P.S. I can't believe you bought something for $2500 and days later you're asking if you should sell and take a $500 loss. Dude, please, for christs sake educate yourself! I have a feeling if you are asking these questions, that you shouldn't be speculating with that money. NEVER risk more than you can afford to lose!
