This is a lesson that has been making me kick myself in the ass several times over the past few weeks...feel free to make fun of me and call me stupid to hammer home the lesson, but please take heed newbs. Here is a short list of all the coins I sold for pennies and what they could have made me:
Netcoin - Total Holdings = ~720k - Sold most @ 0.00010000 XPM for total of 65.46886446 XPM (Currently 0.29 BTC)
If I sold now: 1814.61676900 XPM valued at 8.09 BTCAndroid Tokens - Total Holdings = 150,537,312 - Sold between .00000024 XPM and .00000035 XPM for a total of 41.16173197 XPM (Currently 0.18 BTC)

If I sold now: 9.56725714 BTC Don't worry, I am wallowing in self-hatred
Dude this is so true.
You will get burned by some, if not many coins, but the ones you do not get burned on will more or less offset that 10x.
I look back earlier this year, how many fastcoins I gave away, easycoins.....junkcoins, royal coins sold next to nothing for thousands of coins each.
I did manage to hold onto one only because there was no exchange from earlier this year. They were MEC.
Needless to say I cashed out for well over 17K... and that was coin I mined on NVIDIA no less.
I know its tempting to dump, maybe that might be wise for a short term gain, but if you hold now and you never know. My hold helped me build my new ATI mining rigs with money left over... now the goal is to make enough to cover cost and ride the wave here and there.
