Did you lose your confidence as an investor?

[Xising]

We will definitely experience a decrease in self-confidence. Investors must have fear when the price of Bitcoin / Altcoin decreases. But when investors just stay quiet they won't get anything. Though this kind of investment is profitable, this increase and decrease can be a momentum and the most important thing is how we make the best decisions. Take advantage of every momentum that exists and always pay attention to any price movements that occur at any time seriously.

I agree. I mean, if you consider the market and many of the coin these days, it is quite difficult to find success now because of how the market is moving and trending. Many investments and ventures are dying out and even those projects that could be considered as gems are just too hard to come by. But, if one is really serious in the crypto currency market, then it would be better to keep the faith and find the good with the bad.

I have invested in crypto for almost a year ago and I just kept on holding. I lose hope at times but I am grateful that I still have my faith and hope for crypto. I believe that things will get better for most of the investors so we must have to keep the faith and have more patience.

Some one who believes strongly and knows how powerful the crypto and coins would be in future will never lose hopes irrespective at time market may crash ad it has being falling and rising from years so that should not be a concern.

[Shenzou]

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.

Well for the past 2 years we have seen the prices go down and up and the market constantly taking us by surprise and changing when we least expect it, 2018 may have not been a great year for the crypto and that is mainly to regulation and honestly this was something that is expected and it was only a matter of time for it to happen, even though with all this happening i still strongly belive that this market is worth investing in it and i still do believe in the true purpose of crypto.

[harleymasters]

According to me, 76.2% of people are able to maintain their belief in the crypto market in the future and this will be our great investment opportunity. The deep price reduction of the coin is not too big a problem, as my observation this is a golden time to increase the accumulation of the market. I will choose to surf to increase the number of coins I hold

[perla]

i See a lot of people still believe with crypto. Include me, but to be investor, i think i would really careful for now. Because even bitcoin or Ethereum still have big risk to down again, maybe only rest and hold some of my coin and do nothing.

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.

This is correct that it is not good to lose your hope to your confidence because id you will lose your internal confidences trust me you will be no more able to earn profit. It takes time to increase the money but it does not mean you lose your hope and sell your coin at panic. If you want to be a good investor the first thing you need to learn is TRUST.

There was always risk and will always be. I didn't imagine that we would fall into such a critical situation but it was a new experience for me. This situation has convinced us to be more calm to price changes and this is a good news. 

[maydna]

Like what I choose, "Nope, I still believe in crypto, and I know that it'll recover for sure, if not sooner, later." It's not the end of the cryptocurrency, and it will rise when the time is right, and we will see the crypto will reach the glory. Perhaps, it's happening to the new people who came to crypto in 2017 because they see a big chance to make fast money and they don't know much about cryptocurrency. But then, suddenly, all of what they dream has ruin because of the cryptocurrency has fallen deeper for a long time and finally, they are giving up and sold all of their assets without thinking about the chance for the cryptocurrency to rise again.

[marketone]

No i never lose confidence as an investor because already i have many downfalls from 2012. In this market, we need to be very patience instead of bothering negative about the market. We need to have enough patience in order to make plenty of money in the long term.

Glad to see you're taking it as an opportunity, and to my knowledge as well, BTC and alts will survive this bearish wave for sure. But I'm very much keen to know where did you get that number exactly? Or was it (76.2%) just an assumption? I believe we'll see the next rise during next halving, till then, I see no reason for BTC to reach those sky-high values back as investors are happy in making small bucks but big chunks of BTC through shorting.

That's true, faith is what crypto needs to have right now (and ever since crypto had been here, faith is all it had to give values to these coins based on their properties which mostly took their total supply into consideration). But, those whales still need us (the average investor) to remain involved as they have the power to hodl and wait for longer (even during worst) times for their investment to recover back.

Live your present mate, it's 2018, not those days anymore when just one person was enough to kill the markets with their one single press of the wrong button (dump!). They've got to choose from 2 options now to make money, and the best thing is, they can make money from both the sides. There's a reason why Bakkt is being delayed.

yes you are right, only true investors are still here even though the market is not as stable as it is today. actually beginners or seniors can do all that and survive here if he has a sense of patience and is not easily panicked. believe that everything will come back again and the price will go up, just wait until when.

[Aivaryamal]

I am confident in the development of the cryptocurrency market, got a good profit for all the time working on it and continue to do it

Good question. I guess the answer depend on when do the investors entered crypto market. For those who have been in the game long enough to understand that the market works in cycle, I think this is just another test and I'm sure that majority of them hodl and then do short trading. However, for those who have bought at the tail end of the bullish trend, I'm sure their hopes and confidence are shattered and majority of them exited at around May-June and never came back. As I have said, this market works in cycle so I don't think its going to end up like most of the ICOs. We need to look forward next year that the market will bring some sort of changes, might not be a new all-time-high, but at least higher or even top 5 digits again.

You're right! Even though I still considered myself new in crypto world, at least I can now understand the nature of crypto - how it works and how it behaves. I'm not scared anymore every time btc drops knowing the fact that I've already experienced worse before (during China's ban to ICO). Actually, price falldowns now excites me a lot unlike before and very different from the newbies/weak holders out there who knew nothing but to listen to FUDs and panic sell .

I hope your predictions will do come true . Actually, I'm now starting to invest in eth because I feel that it will skyrocket in 2019 (I hope so). But to be safe, I will continue not not expecting for a huge pump. Less expectations, less pain

[Ispep]

But the fact still remains that even for those who've been long in the system,there are still occasional tests to their courage,and belief in investing in this network,its one thing to know that the bitcoin price is unpredictable,but it's another to handle a huge drop when ones investments are in there

Well investing in ICO's is far way more risky than in the bitcoin,as ICO investments can hardly be trusted.
But it's fair to be a stoic bitcoin believer

I'd say - don't you ever, and I mean it, never look for a pump anymore because these pumps had been one of the biggest reasons why this huge correction had occurred, the values went high last year due to sudden adoption and a lot more registrations for Bitcoin wallets everyday. When the craze ended, and as I said in OP that they had leverage trading available and shorting being another option to gain more for less, we had all our alts going negative due to people believing FUDs and FOMO of getting left behind in "selling" their stuff for the real money that they spent.

@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.

its too long for beginer investors holding their cryptocurrency asset.their psychology now down , and maybe this is be the last time for them to invest in this market.this condition make selection for profesional and amateurs investors.

[anggi]

well, of course I still believe in cryptocurrency. maybe now, the development is hampered because the price is quite low. however, I am sure, the development will continue to improve. maybe this is when bitcoin goes down, however, I am also convinced of its recovery.
