How to survive if you lose more than 80% of your Capital?

[plast555]

First of you shouldn't have invested more than what you afford to lose so that it will not affect your lifestyle and most importantly your peace.

Secondly ok you are already invested so just do some research on what coins you are invested in and why do you invest.?
If you are invested in altcoin just ask yourself did the coin achieved what did they promised for and analyze the reason for the price drop the overall market is not good because BTC dropped from 20k to 3k so it's natural every coin will follow it. So if the token or coin you have invested is not performing from the project development side then close your position on it and consider investing in some other coins.

Now what you can do is invest the remaining 20% in the quality coins or simply in BTC in the bull run, you can easily convert that remaining 20 % to more than what you had before.

use the remaining 20% ​​to turn things around. if yesterday had lost 80% of total capital, then we have gained experience or at least the current market trends. then what we have to do is create our own momentum by analyzing how the trend before that, then we determine whether all crypto in the market experience the same thing or not? if so, then the chances of us getting profit in the near future are slim. so, if it's not possible to re-enter the crypto market, then use the remaining 20% ​​for others.

That's too complicated for non experience traders, it will take a lot of knowledge to grow the remaining amount to get back your initial capital.
Some of us would hold for long term here, so that means we should wait at the right timing to sell, those coins we hold even if they are down at 80% does not mean they don't have a future or they will not bounce back anymore, look at ETH, it's down big time but people are still betting on its future.

If the estimated loss has reached 80% it is better to just hold it.  That is one of the advantages of a strategy where you use the funds that you have specialized for trading or investing with cryptocurrency, the risk is great if you use regular funds for your daily needs.  Remember that your mentality and patience are tested when an analysis is missed.  Always prepare plan B and stop-loss strategies.  Of course, don't bet your funds on new projects that are convincing, choose ieo in Binance or Huobi if you want, or it's better to choose bitcoin or strong altcoin.

Yes, calmness is very important now. Emotional and impulsive people have nothing to do here. Especially if you are engaged in trading, your nerves should be very strong.

Maybe the only way to survive is to learn from your mistakes and failures. Some success goes through a lot of trial and errors, lots of time learning, and lots of failures before they learn the exact recipe of success , may be it on trading or investing.

It seems to me that you need at least 2 years of experience trading in the cryptocurrency market in order to claim profit, even when the market falls.

in my opinion even though they are experienced in trading, they will also suffer losses because we will not continue to benefit because market movements are difficult to guess, so the OP is asking for tips so he can manage the rest of his money

Well if you didn't able to cut loss and get out
You have 2 choice left

1) If you believe the coins will perform in long run, just HODL it
2) Else if you think it is not moving anywhere, its better to actually sell the coin cut loss and get back your capital

[keferaloura]

If you are still try to keep you alive in crypto is keep calm, Trust in your choice, and HODL it.

I understand you. But my weak mentality always made me afraid of losing coin value hour by hour, and then I sold my coin as fast as possible to advoid the big losses 

[vermigerous]

I agree with your perception, i think you should take the risk of holding your coins and give a 100 percent of your trust for it to increase and regain what you've lose. However it migjt not be effectively working anytime but you have to take the risk for your lose.

Patience is the main factor - that's for sure. Fighting your greed and fears is another part. It's quite difficult to fight FOMO and FUD sometimes when everybody around is on panic

If I already lost 80% of my capital then there is no need quitting at this time. I will have to hodl till forever, if the whole market goes to shit so be it, if not then one day I will be able recoup most of my capital.

That would be the best option, but you need to be very patient in the long run which is very hard, since getting back what you have lost will take a lot of time holding your investment.

There is also another option, which is to exchange your investment into other altcoin that you can use to take back that losses.

[sisule]

Better to cut lost when looking our coin assets never growing up to higher price, but when checking have bigger chance back to higher price is best way for waiting until price recovery and back to higher again, most wondering when looking many coin become shit and die without raise to higher price.

[batang_bitcoin]

As long as you're keeping the coin on you portfolio and not selling it, you're still able to recover and make a profit from it. But if you have already sold it at loss, accept it that you have already sold it and cut the future possible loss. In crypto, the fainted hearts need to become stronger and if this isn't for you, anticipation will come to you easily in negative form. I've held for years and even after the bull run, I've experienced loss and profit and still kicking through this roller coaster ride.

Risk assesment is indeed crucial. If predicting which one to pump is easy then loss of investment will be invalidated provided with the success rate we knew. Most coins on the market posses risk even though they are what we called major or blue chips gems.

Even ethereum that tops the altcoin can also tremble and create a huge surge. It's always depend on the traders and how they are utilizing their knowledge but even with skills have also failed sometime in this volatile market. So better advise is to playsafe when doing trading cause 80 loss isnt funny and people who are keep losing should already think twice if their gambling without any strategy.

If they were doing something wrong and they will actually get the loss from the trade. The market is not so difficult to be followed but the difficult thing is about how to make people being not so greedy to expect a huge profit from their trade when they have a chance to take their profit from the market.

Well, the ironic part in the market that we have is that there is really no play safe here. The fact that you hold ETH or whatsoever blue chips you're pertaining regardless of their integrity and reputation it's still considered as a dangerous play. It's not a strange condition since it's also happening in stock market. That's why as an investors wethere in altcoins/crypto/whatever market you should be really a risk taker and you must always ride the market in favorable of you otherwise recovering could be difficult to be acquired in the future.

The incident two years ago made many investors sad that it caused a very high decline in value in all cryptos. it is a story of the past. Yhinking of reversing all of these portfolios is very difficult, especially since there isn't a good pump this year that can make huge profits in late 2017.

One that can survive is to believe in your portfolio, because it can increase your enthusiasm in the crypto industry. Because I remember a lot of people said that they would leave the crypto industry when they were doing cutloss.

[Lexurdania]

When the value of our portfolio dropped by more than 80%, I thought everyone would panic. But panic does not solve the problem and I think we should do more research about the tokens or coins to hold. We have to sort out the tokens that are feasible for the long term and for the short term. Cut loss may be the last choice on tokens that do not have large liquidity

How to survive is
1. What made you in ure such loss?
2. What lessons did you learn from an 80% capital loss?
3. What measures are you taking to avoid a repeat.
Without learning why we incited a loss we cannot solve it, also there's need for a new strategy to avoid such loss in the future.
