Who is currently losing money on bitcoin?

[RogetBaxX]

I suppose that there are some newbies (and some non-newbies too) out there who got invested over 10k, and are currently losing money.
Losing money is very stressfull, so I was just wondering... are you cutting your losses or you will hodl your stash untill 2020 and more following an "all or nothing" strategy?

And what they lose, they hold back because they see that in the loser. But when the price goes up they are activated, now why are few people being purchased. And they keep it and do not buy it, it is clear that the price is still moving dynamically but still interesting.

Basically I think it's good if we don't be afraid to losing money if have an intend to invest on start, I guess a doubt only lead to a regret at the end. The price movements that's easily influenced by many things, I don't think it will continue to decline.. in the long run, I still believe.. it can still moving to be higher. So if it's not as expected.. there's a way for a long term to be able to gain profit, just optimistic.

The huge wave of muggles that bought at the top, and amateur daytraders that panic.

Everybody is. Bitcoin is money, if its value drops, then you are losing money.

This is only true when you think of the value of bitcoin in terms of fiat, but you still have the same amount of bitcoin in your wallet no matter what it is the current price, so no, you are mistaken, also while everyone has less profits than when bitcoin was 20k that does not mean we are at a loss, the one that bought at 10 dollars has great profits, the price could crash up to 11 dollars and he will still be in profit.

I just hold my Bitcoins for now, so I don`t lose anything. I think we all just need to wsit until Bitcoin`s price starts to grow again. I suppose it will be very soon. So don`t lose your hope and confidence! Bitcoin will show us again its strength and might.

Even when we hold bitcoins is so stressful because the money you expect to earn sometimes when the price value goes down it also affects .In crypto loosing money is always happens if we dont know how to manage our money as well and also our emotions  to control when it goes down.

If you do not sell coins during the price correction, then you will not lose anything. I have long ceased to panic and just wait for the price to grow to make a profit.

the panic only causes us to lose. for what panic? we can still see and wait for the price to grow again until in the end we get profit. the panic only makes the price drop longer

Here's the thing, even of you bought in at 15 or 16k, you're still not in a loss until you sell your btcs. One lesson that is really.important is that patience in holding instead of panic selling will be the key to youe success. You can read it everywhere that btc will recover so all you need to do ia ride this out and reap your profits later

btc will recover. but sometimes in the process of waiting for the recovery of btc we experience obstacles, such as need money that forces us to sell our investment dendan low price. that is a very difficult obstacle for us to avoid in the present. because of the urgent economic circumstances

Usually when I am investing into something, I put my trust and faith into it so regardless of what happen I will not sell it until the deadline or target date on when I am going to sell it because I know this is a long-term investment and investing in cryptocurrency is a roller coaster ride it's not gonna be always in the top.

Now, the most reasonable solution seems to be to keep bitcoin. This is actually a very stressful situation for people who have bought and now they are losing money. At the moment there is no optimism in the market, but in the long term the price should increase.

Optimism is always there, but there is a difference between blind optimism and optimism based on the facts, those that are blindly optimistic about bitcoin have a difficult time maintaining it when things begin to go in the wrong direction for them and that is why holding for them is difficult, but for those that know why they are optimistic holding is easy even when they are losing money.

Yes I agree. Losses always may you tensed and depress. Holding only make you to free from this two.Now the price of bitcoin crossed 11400$,So the people who inverse when the price is 10k$ will get some profit now.In ten days you are getting 1000$ for a bitcoin, just think how much you will get ,if you hold it for a month.

As I am holding Bitcoin and do not sell it yet I do not think that I am losing my coins. The money that I have invested into this crypto will come back to me in a few months. However, even if I sell BTC now, it will be a good deal – I bought crypto for the price under 6K.

Maybe the mindless people who invested in bitcoin in its moon days when it was its rocking 17k-19k around value and believed in it at the wrong time maybe, they are losing money. But saying losing money maybe incorrect as there are high chances of bitcoin rising again making them good amount and recover the current temporary so called loss.

So, after 3 pages of discussion, NOBODY is selling for a loss?

I find it very strange, because the volume and the price tell me that a lot of people were buying @15-20k usd, and a lot of people are selling now.
I doubt that these 2 groups don't overlap at all, cutting losses is not an uncommon strategy when trading, seems odd to me that nobody cut any loss here...

That could indicate that many of the people in the forum either bought when the price was a lot cheaper or are very stubborn individuals, I think that those that bought at the top are the ones selling, anyone that bought when the price was 5k or similar has not really a reason to sell, besides in my particular case I do not really have any need for that money, I invested that money knowing full well that I could lose it all, and while I'm not losing money I'm not going to sell my bitcoin for these low prices.

[juli50]

Maybe the newbies that joined in december lost some money, but im Sure they will get it back and a lot more im february. We will see how every coin recovers its value during february and maybe 1 week of march also. I hope all the newbies that joined didnt sell their Coins cheap during this mounths or they will regret. Just hold and buy if you have the money to!

[JainaVsUther]

Not losing money if I don't sell
I've seen dips like this before, I kept strong and hodl and it ended up good.

Well said. You still have the same amount of BTC even during this dip. All the panicking ones don't realize or believe in the true future of bitcoin. Bitcoin will surpass its last ATH, that's for sure, so no money is lost, only gained, if people only hodled instead of being impatient.

[fulmetal08larz]

Those who lose money in bitcoin are the people who are selling on loss out of fear causing panic selling. The last downfall that happened was the distribution stage, the whales have discreetly sold their position to the newbies who are jumping the bandwagon in BTC. What's happening currently is the accumulation stage of institutional buyers who are buying cheap BTC from those who are panic selling. A few months from now, we could see another uptrend for BTC.

[Fazlurkhan.kz]

People who might have invested in bitcoin when it was over 10k and chose to hold it for a long time can be assumed to be losing money due to this drop. But they are not exactly losing money because they have it with them and it definitely will rise giving them profits, so it can be said that they are dealing with some TEMPORARY LOSS but they have their bitcoin as an asset with them which will make them good profit in the coming future.
The ones losing money are who bought high and sold low just because of fear of losing their "left" money.

Those who sold their coins lower than the price they bought them were the one who lost their money. How could someone having some BTCs bought at 19k, for instance, lose their money if the BTCs are still intact. The coins are still there so when the price goes over 20k and they sold their coins then they gained. Regardless of the current price, as long as the coins are untouched, you lose nothing.
