What I have lost today in this scenerio is what I termed 'unrealised loss'. I believe quite a number of people will fall in this category because the loss is one that have been made by the reason of holding, the loss came as a result of the drop in the value of our investment from what it was some days back and not as a result of sale.
Currently, I have an unrealized loss of about $100 because I made some some not too long ago and that was when the price was in the region of the $4,500 but the loss will soon turn to real profit soon.

instead of losing , I make around $1500 profit from bitcoin bounce , really cant play long for this situation..
You were quite lucky then. I think you need to look for long term investment so that you can get a huge amount of profit at the end. Earning this much of profit and that too in just one day surely means that you are very good at it. You only need to make the right decision of investing in Bitcoin for a longer term; this will help you earn more.

I have not lost much as I have not seriously going into trade. I only trade few times and I thing lose close to just$12. I hope to remain successful after I enter into trade fully. Having lose so much money in forex trading I decided to be careful when going into altcoins and Bitcoin trading. If you trade with good money management policy in trading you will hardly lose money and with time become a professional trader.

As long as you don't sell while the value is down, you do not lose any money. HODL until the price recovers.
Too many people panic sell.

I lost - 500$ , haha . Cause when the moment i knew about Bitcoin, I already save it til now not selling. But sometime i did lost some with gambling but if it count as BTC i still make a good profit 500$. Holding Bitcoin for a saving is not a bad ideal at all. Just Believe in it. Bitcoin will pay you back.

I was not much affected by Bitcoin because I switched to USDT to avoid a market crash. I think now the market is recovering very fast and we should buy as many BTCs as it will surely return to the $ 5000 price.

I lost... Many thousands in fiat. I won't get into the details but I was sub August 14th prices. That was a crappy chart to look at. This recovery was so much quicker and smaller than I thought it would be though. It's pretty amazing.

I lost 40% in terms of USD. Mainly because I was big in NEO.

I assume the OP means 'how much did your portfolio drop in value' as selling would have been crazy anyway. Only day/short traders would be stressed by these large dips, the long term traders like myself just buy in times like this. In fact my BTC trade yesterday is already seeing a huge return as the price has corrected upward significantly.
I dont look at my portfolio in value terms, as much as I look at the weight of the bag. Example, selling 10btc 4 days ago and buying back 14.5btc yesterday. The end game bag size is more important to me than focusing on how every dip/spike affects my overall current value at any given time.

Sometimes losing is inevitable when money is concerned, I can't blame my friend for losing a couple hundred dollars for any reason but still I will compliment him because he tried hard not to, but in the end weak hands when accompanied with a panicking mind many decisions can be fetal to investments. That's a set back for him but inexperienced maybe the cause of this and lack of knowledge how market behaves. I hope he learned his lesson the hard way.

When you just HODL there's nothing to worry because you didn't lose anything. But the moment you sell while the drama is not yet over and you already lose. Well I lose some last two months ago when I sold my adex and later on it pumps really hard. All I can do is *palm on my face upon seeing the price. I lose maybe 0.7 and that's my very frustrating story.

So far I haven't lost anything because the majority of my coins I have earned not bought and the rest I got on much higher price. The last few days in the largest problems were users who have bought their bitcoins at the highest price before the drop and then started to sell it when price begun to fall. That was a very bad decision.

i think i am not having too much loss and i still can make profit although bitcoin and altcoin price is down because i am buying the coins when the price is at cheap price. and now, i only need to waiting for a while until the all coins is increase. i am trying to be bag holder and yes i make decent profit with this and until now, if i sell right now, i still make profit.

An 'unrealized loss' is still a loss. Its like pulling a blanket over your head so you can't see the wreckage of your trade.

This statement is only true if the market is guaranteed to always go up in price. Why do you believe that this market will ALWAYS go up? Spoiler alert; I think that Bitcoin will recover and go higher in the future, but I also think that it has further to drop and will reach lower lows in the near term. Around $2500 for Bitcoin and $100 for Ethereum.

See topic title. Me personally, a couple thousand $. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Did you create this thread just to tell everyone how much you lost? Sorry that you lost, but there are people that lose more than this because of trading... So don't think of it like of an end of the world (if you're very sad about that.) I don't trade much now, mainly just hodl my coins, so i probably didn't get any profit!
