Did you lose your confidence as an investor?

[Tipsters]

As an investor who wants to bag more of the projects I think this is one of the best times in this market to buy more while it's cheap. We have suffered more waves and tests of the market condition that will stay for good so I bet all on it for potential exponential gain.

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 still believe in cryptocurrencies and I'm happy to see that the poll is indicating that most members of the forum feel the same way, but it is impossible to not be affected by what happened, I knew that we were in the middle of a bubble but I had no idea that the price will crash as it did, but a crash of that size presents an opportunity for all of those that are still holding some fiat and what to invest in the market.

IMO we all knew this would happen. Therefore I do not see price decrease as loss of confidence. Well, the price is around 4k and it is better than 0.
We should build our small economy where the price drop of BTC will not affect our earnings. And let's not think of it as regret, just an experience.

As a investor,  we should have always have high confidence for us to handle the risks that we are taking but high confidence is not enough,  we should find a good project where our money will grow and it is safe. What is the use of high self confidence if the project is trash?

[Oceat]

Up until now, i am still holding most of my altcoins in my portfolio because i really believed that everything will be alright in the right time. As i looked at the chart and news it is still a good price for cryptocurrency. And when bitcoin is starting to recover slowly from the price correction and going to a stable price then hopes started to grow a little more.

from the big waves that happened some time ago and a lot of losses to some of us, of course losing trust is a natural thing, isnt it ? thats why the price of some crypto is still difficult to go back up, we need pumping trust like positive news so we can more confidence

Yup. This seems like a better time for anyone to start investing in the market. A lot of people believe that some cryptocurrency, like ETH, are set to perform better than they did this year. January we will see the next hard fork which is Constantinople, and if things goes as planned, then watch as the price will spark. I’m also believing that Bitcoin will go up as well, followed by some of the top coins in the market.

[lenovop-70]

I cant say what are my opinion, but people said above that they still believe in crypto, I think they are reasonable, considering the crypto annual chart tends to rise.
I only hope the market will improve soon in the first quarter of 2019.Hopefully

That was still hoping now people who have to hold crypto's(including me), I still believed on crypto and that's the reason why I patiently wait when the market will rise again, strong confidence makes you motivated not to become a weak hand holder and easy to do panic selling. Real investors will understand this situation now even how bad the market they know that time to time it will bounce back again.

[fiomcorka]

I didn’t waste time in getting off the market after the last bull run, so there wasn’t any loss.
But, I did buy Ethereum recently, and that was before the price went down, but I’m not afraid. I might not have full confidence on Bitcoin, but I do believe we’ll in ETH that it will get better despite everything that happened. When eth prices will be touching again 0.1 BTC value I may go for converting it back to bitcoins. This way I will get more bitcoins for the same money I do have right now.

Do we even have any opinions than to hold?  Many of us buy bitcoin above $10,000 and it is below $4000 currently,  I don't think it is wise we should sell or dump our tokens or bitcoin now as we would definitely going to sell at loses.  if cryptocurrencies is not going to appreciate in future I rether keep holding than to taking this heavy loses.

[Nahl]

I was missed opportunities to bought more bitcoin several years ago and i do not want it happen again that the current price was pretty cheap and i think this is good time to buy more so regarding this poll and number 2 would be my choice that i still believe in bitcoin and i believe too the price will recover soon or later and it's only a matter of time

The answer to this question will depend on whether you're a new investor or an old hand.

We see it play out after each bubble. New investors tend to be weak hands. At the beginning of the crash, they are confident and hopeful and intent on "buying the dip." By the end of the crash, most of them have sold at a loss and are calling Bitcoin a scam. It's something we see in all markets: impatient investors give away their money to patient investors.

I've been trading Bitcoin for almost 6 years. Nothing surprises me anymore, especially not deep crashes. It doesn't destroy my confidence at all, but it can be stressful having to hedge the value of my coins by frequently short selling.

But as I've clarified here, we've had shorting as an option to make money over having to buy alone, and this makes it go completely wild when I say that BTC or any other crypto (allowed on leverage trading) needs to be bought lower and sold higher (that BUY LOW, SELL HIGH thing) because everything since futures had changed in the minds of traders who knew that buying BTC for such values for most of the people (including them) wouldn't be easy, so they shorted it off and killed down the value, increasing their stake in BTC so as to cut down on their losses and those who did it on each different phase ma even have had earned the desired profits in fiat. But, it's also undeniable that BTC had a crash from a value which could be someone's lifetime earnings if they went all in on BTC to buy even 1 full BTC when it was at 20k, and anyone coming straight down to 3k from those levels will have their appetite shaken off as it's not easy for everyone to digest such a loss (at least till BTC tends to reach back 20k or their purchase price).

I would be lying if I said that my confidence hasn't taken a big kick in the teeth but it is still intact. I have held throughout this bear market and will continue to do so because I do believe in crypto and that the market overall will recover. A lot of alt-coins will never return to past ATHs but that's in my opinion for the best.

These are really smart thoughts. Don't worry, crypto realm will rise but for this we need some really positive news as opening BAKKT,  approval of Bitcoin ETF and others. Also I want to add that there are a lot of scam, that's why  this realm needs in creating rules for the right  relationships between investors and creators. So now I recommend everybody who has extra cash go and buy crypto and Hodl.

To be honest, I feel a little confused about what I have to do with market conditions like this, I have lost a lot in the market decline yesterday. But on the one hand I feel optimistic that the market will soon rise and can raise prices again in 2019. Maybe waiting a few more minutes will make me able to choose the best.

No, I haven't loss my confidence in term of investing because it is all part of it. If you have lost it then you are not fit to be and investor at all.

[Ewinsane]

I opted for can't say, I mean I haven't really lost "all" my confidence as an investor but I sure did lost some of it.

I still believe crypto will be huge and I still think there are better days ahead of us and I still think bitcoin and many other great cryptos will worth at least x100 of their current price one day in the distant future. However, the thing I lost is the short term, the volatility and the reckless investment and cashing out and lack of control over bitcoin from the likes of roger ver and craig wright is just too dangerous, we do not even know how many craigs are out there lurking.

Last time, it was mtgox trustee, this time it was craig, who will be the next one ? We don't know. Hence I am a bit worried about the short term possibilities even tough I turst it in the very very long term.

The extreme bearish markets might look scary for some of the newcomer investors. Personally, I still have faith in Bitcoin and just thought the current markets is just a continuation of the market cycle. We were at a parabolic movement market cycle, and the current condition is still healthy.

I am happy to say that mate I am one of the most confident and well trusted investor. I never lose my hope and faith on crypto currency. Rise and fall happens there must be different situation you only will have to be patiently waiting for everything to be normal. I think after few years everything will be on track.

Obviously all of that definitely requires a process, for most of the newcomer investors they must be worried about seeing the market conditions that tend to decline more often. but if they are able to be patient and apply the principle of holding they will certainly get the benefits that will be obtained in the future

[EdenHazard]

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.
