Did you lose your confidence as an investor?

[ethereumhunter]

I have my confidence to continue as the investor in the cryptocurrency because I see a big chance for this technology to grow bigger in the future and I want to be a part of this technology. Even if I don't trade like other people, I think it's enough if I only keep my coins in the wallet and waiting for the price to grow high. I will buy more and more the potential coins and hold it because this is the chance for me to have more asset for my wealth.

It`s not pleasant when your fortune is melting in front of your eyes, that feeling is stronger in the beginning, later your mind harden. I didn`t lose my confidence in crypto, we are much higher now than when I came here for the first time, how can I lose confidence. Last year was a proof what bitcoin is capable off, and after that crazy ride we are still very high. Crypto is growing, crypto is learning, there are many good and bad things in crypto, but that is all part of growing up.

@Kemarit, even I'm waiting for BTC to break back the most-awaited 10k USD level (yeah, there was a lot more excitement when it was about to reach there) and go even higher, I think Bakkt is all it currently needs to go back to those values as it'll open a door to institutional investors to buy huge chunks of BTC (approx. 25 BTC per order) through contracts which would give a boost to the whole crypto economy.

In paper the Bakkt bitcoin offerings really look solid. However, we really need to get that one hurdle, the approval. I'm seeing a positive scenario that the price could really push the price to 10K USD, might take some time though, but it will get the job done. A Bitcoin ETF and a Bakkt approval combined will really boost the market to even higher grounds, but a ETF is a long shot to me. Anyhow, it's gonna be exciting, as early as this time we have something to wait for that might really turn this market around.

I am not currently investing in any project so I have never been afraid of anything. maybe some people start to feel disappointed when they become an investor with the current market price.

[South Park]

Nope, I still invest in cryptocurrency, but for bitcoin I chose to invest in short term and for the altcoin I chose long term. It's not easy to keep investing in big losses especially this year, half of my funds just disappear.

However, I thought this decision carefully. Indeed, many of my family mocked me not to reinvest in 2018 after 2017 many get some profit. They suggested to choose an investments in the real world such as land or real estate, but my strength was strong at that time. Many experts think that bitcoin prices will find the new ATH in 2019. But, it's just a dream cause 2018 opposite of 2017.

Are you investing in bitcoin for the short term and in altcoins for the long term? If that fits you strategy and you know very well what you are doing then that is fine, I just find it to be odd because I'm following exactly the opposite strategy, when it comes to long term investing there is only one coin in which I can think and that is bitcoin but when I see an opportunity in the market of altcoins I take it but as soon as that is over I go back to bitcoin.

Its better than have nothing at all.Right? We are waiting for those event to happen atleast we are seeing some light that the market will able to recover up.Imagine 2018 is indeed a full year of bearish trend and now we are on the 1st quarter of 2019 and those upcoming events will tell if Crypto market do still have the chance to boom up in spite of these situations.Lots of people already lose hope and confidence due to loss of money but
i believe we are still in the middle of such great innovation and adoption.

[Gridness]

I have never lost trust in investing, I will choose projects that have a good future and a strong community. When you choose the wrong one, you will definitely lose confidence in investing

Thats true, this is process of crypto that grows, of course prices will go up and down, sometimes the price goes up very high and sometimes the price will go down very deep, but in the end of course the price will go up and recover. there is nothing that makes me lose of confidence, I see this as a process and normal thing in the crypto market

[Btc_1856]

I never lose my confidence level but still, i am trying to find good potential by following their channels in this bearish mode because once i get profit i used to buy those when they are at a low value. Instead of losing faith in the market it is better to find good potential project releasing every month which makes me think more positive about the crypto market.

I wonder how accurate in predicting levels to exit and then to buy back ? It is everyone's dream to ride on the markets but practically I am not finding it is easier to predict the levels accurately so I am not able to making use of profits to buy more the same assets. I am simply holding my bitcoins. It means that I am also not losing my confidences. But at the same time, I am not preferring to sell at peak for the reason of buying back at low.

You mean new altcoins ? Due to the struggle with most altcoins, many people have lost their confidence with crypto markets . Instead of considering to get into altcoins, I feel it is much better to stay away from them and just holding bitcoins is more than enough to secure my future.

[stadus]

No, I'm still 100% crypto believer.
I understand fully on what's happening in the market, there are always ups and down that is why crypto volatility is high.
In times that people are panicking, that's the time I feel secure because I understand that when they dump, there are people who are eager to buy.

What I put in my mind is that when whales can manipulate the price to dump, they can also do the opposite, so that's what I'm waiting to take place this year.

as investors we have to ready to face any condition in cryptocurrency market.while we decided to invest our money into this market it mean we fully understand about the risk.

that's right man , we have to prepared our self with worst condition if some day market crashing and make our assets decrease alot.being weak hand was not adviced in cryptocurrency market because market very extrem.

[TheUltraElite]

Losing your confidence would only mean that your mind is weak to handle market risks and you did not understand the market risk properly when entering it in the first place. Newbies can often fall prey of such emotions but they gradually learn to get over it and rectify their mistakes. Then again some people would stop trading or investing and call crypto a scam. 

The safer bet is always the top 10 altcoins except the forked shitcoins. Most ICOs will abandon the project after a year or so when team vesting periods are over and then it will be lost as a shitcoin dump.

[SvonioneFromMangoCoinz]

The sudden rise (from the very beginning of 2018) to fall (end of 2018 and still continuing), did you have the courage to hodl your coins and have your confidence intact just as before? Or did the extreme hustle of the bearish markets ended everything for you and even compelled you in such a way that you're now no more going to put anything in cryptocurrencies? Do you think this is an opportunity itself or is this going to end up hard in grave like most of the best ICO projects of whose tokens got dumped down to even 1/20th their ATH?

P.S.: This is just a poll, so don't take it as a measurement to decide whether to remain and/or invest in crypto or not.

I don't lose faith, I'm just disappointed because the market has gone down too much. in the stock market is as bad as our market. That is fate and we need to accept it. If we go on disappointing, we don't set a new strategy, we will die first.
I am planning to trade in some new altcoins. I don't invest in ICO anymore, it's garbage.

I believe there is still a lot to hope for and be confident in when it comes to this market. Sure, we are in the early phase and it is a normal thing to experience things like this in terms of volatility. However, this does not mean it is not a temporary situation as I believe it would pass. it has happened before, it will happen again and the main thing one should be thankful for is the fact that we are here early. I guess that keeps me going.

[emberbekas]

I still believe in crypto especially with the well known coins such as bitcoin. Up and down are normal. As long as there are demands and supply, that means there's a hope for us to get benefit from it. No need to lose confidence just because of the recent decline.

[Indamuck]

No matter how confident you are you should never go all in on one thing.  The number one rule for investing is to diversify.  I'm a strong believer in crypto but I still keep some money in gold and stocks to hedge against a major crash.  The thing is even gold, real estate, and stocks have risk to them as well.  Granted it is not as high risk as crypto but the possibility of a crash is still there.

Even myself do diversify out all of my funds when it comes to investment where I didn't go all in on crypto. I have forex,stocks and gold as well.You are right it might not be big profits like on crypto
but the risk is lesser due to volatility but well in all investments there would always comes with a risk and this should really be put up on our mind. Losing confidence is just temporary and you should fixed your
mind if you are really serious in investing field.

[Clark05]

Nope I did not lose my confidence as an investor because I still believe to crytocurrency and I hope  everyone will be stock in their mind that your lucky because you know cryptocurrency and possible soon you earn more money maybe not today because market down. Every business and projects experiencing what right now experienced the importang with that no one leave everyone better to be strong and be positive.
