You all were right. I was wrong!

[cryptoadviser]

I moved all my money from BTC to XRP when btc was $19700.
Thereafter when btc broker 20k, I moved 40% of it back to BTC but kept 40% in xrp and 20% in other alts.

I also bought more xrp later (this was some thousand of dollars)

Lost a lot of money in the xrp fall. But made some back in doge run later.

However, the point being, your speculation was right! I was wrong with the judgement else I would be a minimum of 30% more up.


UPDATE 1: Made it all back in the recent Ethereum and Doge move. Holding multiple coins which are pretty up! The client seems happy now! Thanks all for the support! I was terribly wrong but I have understood how to trade alts now! Will keep you posted about my portfolio.

No one can predict the trending of stock or BTC. If someone say I can, you must pay attention to your wallet. Trading is a high risky activity. Only you are responsible for your action.

[Coin_trader]

Lol, I thought your conclusion would be "I'm wrong for flipping my Bitcoin for a shit token like $XRP".

There's no wrong on your portfolio allocation percentage. The problem was the coin you choose for diversifying it. You should atleast choose a coin with a good reputation though.

[boyptc]

Should hold as much as you can with BTC. It will never put you down, well, we've got the bear markets but you lose until you sell. Right now bitcoin just showed its dominance again and broke ATH to $32k.

Whether most of the opinions you've read were right, it's still about your decision making by choosing the best coin. Always choose the best and that is bitcoin.

It is fine, no one can predict the market perfectly, you were just unlucky to be invested in XRP just in the moment the SEC decided to make a move against it, so take this as a lesson, that kind of movement, at least by the reasons stated by the SEC, is impossible against bitcoin which is yet another reason why bitcoin is not only better than XRP but the rest of the altcoins in the market, so I will not be surprised if this is just the first of a massive operation by the SEC against thousands of coins which means that bitcoin will become a safe haven and its price will go up even more.

[Rengga Jati]

-Snip-

You know, I also did the same, convert some of my BTC into XRP at that time and still leave XRP in my wallet, even the price is damn down and probably will be a shitcoin 
What I did right now is not focusing anymore on my XRP but on BTC. This coin will probably raise up again and again. SO, just take my past to be a personal lesson, focus on BTC, and not convert it again into altcoins. If we want to invest in altcoins, just buy it from another fund, not converting my BTC.

Lol, I thought your conclusion would be "I'm wrong for flipping my Bitcoin for a shit token like $XRP".

I'm likely going to laugh very hard, so sad, but this may be true, this may be going to be a shit coin, or even was a shitcoin.

Just move on and accept it because this had been a common mistake due to unpredictability of the market and also you arent the only ones who had been suffering from losses or missed out profits
due to allocation.

We know that diversifying is always been a good thing and we didnt even expect for those things to happen in XRP too and if didnt happen then for sure you do really able to make
money at the moment.

Good thing that you do able to put up some in alts or in DOGE which having a little run.Dont get frustrated nor let yourself look down just because of this mistake.
We do make speculation but none of them would really be precise.

[Lanatsa]

That's really a bad decision you had done there mate and on coincidence that XRP did face up some SEC issues. Have you able to get out after that event happen or you do let yourself caught in the dump?

Don't feel pity and tell others that they were right into their words since they are also just speculating.Its just the price had go into the direction on where majority is presuming.

Nothing can really beat up Bitcoin when it comes to future or potential aspects because it can reach out heights unexpectedly and it is happening on this very moment.

[seleme]

Looks like someone missed the train, my advice is to avoid investing more in BTC. Current technical indicators are in the overbought zone and the flash drop will bring a huge loss. Maybe XRP price will recover in a few months but you have to hold your loss until that day. Otherwise, there is no point to jump from one crypto to another. Investing in the new technology and fresh projects can cost more than the base investment amount, I advise avoiding the new investment until the dust settles. Just my 2 cents.

[dimonstration]

The price of BTC increases fast and we know that somehow the price will be corrected and will result for some dump so as much as possible we wanted to be safe and get the profit we already have than lose it. So don't regret too much on your decis2as long as you still have BTC with you its fine and just keep monitoring it for price updates or set price point you wanted to sell it.

[crzy]

That’s the risk we always take in this market and we can’t say the market will always go in favor to us. Don’t blame yourself, just accept the fact that you lose money and take necessary actions in order for you to bounce back. Bitcoin is soaring like there’s no ceiling, no one can tell when it will stop.

[exstasie]

I moved all my money from BTC to XRP when btc was $19700.

Holy shit, I feel like I got punched in the stomach just reading that. All your money? That's a serious double whammy.

Didn't anyone ever tell you: never go full shitcoin.



Especially XRP. Even before this SEC meltdown, it was horrible to hold. Spends 99% of its time in a slow bleed.

Maybe XRP price will recover in few months

I'm sure getting de-listed from most major exchanges will help with that.

Beautiful shorting range here:



So many bagholders, so much pain.....

We can't really blame you though, it's your call, but at least you man up to admit your mistakes. No one thought that bitcoin will go on this super rally and others is saying that this is just the beginning that can last a two whole years of bull run with no burst, except for occasional correction.

That's ok now if you have move to btc now, at least you can still join the bandwagon, don't worry about that 30% you can make it up when we reach $100k minimum in this bull run.

AFAIK, Bittrex and Binance want to delist this XRP this mid of the month of January and I guess that will have an impact on the bitcoin price since many of those bag holders of XRP will jump up into bitcoin.`

Since XRP was regulated by SEC and this becomes a centralized coin, I transferred already my fund to bitcoin and ethereum because I know holding an XRP is not safe at all. It is a wrong move if you had more than a percentage of XRP than BTC upon holding. For sure there are a lot of XRP holders who are now transferred to bitcoin, if OP did that, that is a good decision.

[Janation]

What's done is done.

Instead of dealing with the past's mistake, you should learn from it and apply it in the near future. The best part here is that you've learned your part. I think that it is also a mistake that you put all of your money into cryptocurrencies, it might be having a great rally right now but that won't be happening all of the time.

Glad that you accepted your mistake and misfortune.
But Cheer up mate, as from the losses only we come to know about our capacity and hence we rectify it to make profits.
To be honest predicting the price of a particular coin is pretty challenging and not only you many veteran trader also does the mistake.
Nevertheless with this new year start with a fresh start and make double profit.
Wish you best of luck mate.

We need to be very careful, to me this is the beginning of an orchestrated campaign by the SEC to try to control this market, and they will use any excuse to destroy many coins in the process to try to bring uncertainty to the market, they began with XRP because it was an easy target and even if for now they have said ETH is safe I do not believe that for a second, if they can somehow get to ETH as well there will be panic in the market as there are thousands of coins that run above it including many stable coins, but fortunately for us bitcoin holders that is not a problem at all and as long as you keep most of your investment in bitcoin even the SEC cannot do much against you at the moment.

[Bitcoin_Arena]

Avoid controversial shitcoins like XRP or you maybe left holding bag one day when they dump on you like it happened recently. After the said Airdrop, It was never a wise time to hold XRP. The price dump was expected since the initial price pump only happened because of the spark token airdrop.

If you want to make money twice during this bull run, keep an eye on BTC prices and then a couple of days after BTC price movements makes new records, shift your attention to alts like ETH, LTC. They usually pump a few hours or days after BTC has pumped

That's good to hear.
After all, you recovered your deficit with the other altcoins. That's the advantage of having many eggs in the basket and diversified coins is a good choice. It could be better if you know how to read some TA even in simplest indicators for you to at least predict which way does your hold coins are leading. Better to learn one or two indicators rather than relying on other's speculation abojt particular coin.

Anyway, I sell off my xrp before the SEC issues. Just having a mild regrets with my dogecoins as I sell that off before the bullish time.

[crwth]

That's part of the process as a trader. No one can be perfect, and even if you are trading for a year, 3 years, 10 years, or 20 years, you can never predict it 100% of the time. It's always going to be a process and a prediction in the long run. It's just going to be the journey that all traders will face. At least now, you have recovered. Some of the traders haven't been able to recover what they lost totally. Just like what I experienced, but that's just part of the process. I'm happy for you that you could say that "you know how to trade alts".

[el kaka22]

I would say we are all crypto traders and we all do make "mistakes" time to time, there is really no point on dwelling about the pass. I have been around crypto world for about 8 years now, if I have bought bitcoin back in 2013 and kept buying for 8 years straight with 10% of all my salary, I would have been a multi millionaire by now, literally would have insane amount of money. But I didn't, why? Because I didn't know it would be like this. Does that make me an idiot? No, of course not, we wouldn't know, it is a news to all of us.

However same goes for you as well, how could you know that SEC would investigate Ripple? That was only published after the fact, so you wouldn't know, obviously I would suggest stay away from centralized coins because of other reasons, but it is still something we couldn't see beforehand, hence why I think you shouldn't feel too sad.

[molsewid]

You know it is quite better of you hold bitcoin rather than xrp or eth, as you can see bitcoin keeps on growing each day, it might have some dip recently but as you can see it is almost 36kusd now, I have read a thread in here asking if those people who bought bitcoin @27k are fool, maybe we can sa that if they are strong and did not panic they will have a 10Kusd profit now, and it continuesly pumping. I rather hold bitcoin or eth maybe now , I've hold xrp as well but fud came so it is not good to buy xrp now at high price or if you bought it I think it will take too much time for it to grow again.

[Fatunad]

Setting aside about XRP, it isnt really worth to buy in now specially of the current issues but it isnt bad to consider on buying when its already on the bottom.Just give some time for it to settled
and it might sound dumb to buy but it isnt really a bad idea either because getting cheap prices as low as possible will be the main target not for those low cap coins but for those projects which had been
on top rankings for a while now.Due to unpredictability of the market, we cant really tell whose right and whose wrong because it cant really be avoided for us to miss
out those opportunities to make money due to bad decision or doesnt react at all.

[MCobian]

I think your biggest mistake would be not investing in Bitcoin a larger percentage, but preferring in altcoins as much as 60%. Moreover,
your money is in XRP as much as 40%, this is a very risky thing knowing that XRP is experiencing a lot of problems. Even though in the end
you can get a big profit from Ethereum and Doge, but to make it safer to convert your XRP into Bitcoin. Because after all Bitcoin is experiencing
the fastest price increase, and you can cover your losses in XRP if you convert your XRP to Bitcoin.

[lienfaye]

Now you know how risky it is to switch in coins that are not as good as bitcoin, it can drastically drop and worse be delisted in exchanges. If only you chose to let your money in bitcoin then im certain that you earn huge during this btc bullrun.

Anyways it happened already, move on and be wise from now on. Its part of being a trader, we commit mistakes but thats how we learn through our experience.

[Harlot]

It's pretty obvious that Bitcoin is the one leading the market right now and altcoins are barely catching on it so I don't see any reason why you think XRP will somehow mirror what Bitcoin is doing since for the past few months it is showing signs that Bitcoin is clearly faster compared to other cryptocurrencies. Chances are some altcoin hodlers know this as well and they just jump off to Bitcoin after selling their portfolio filled with Altcoins so what you did is the complete opposite, you must remove the mindset that an altcoin season will come after a Bitcoin rally because its not always the case.

[so98nn]

Haha, this is lesson to everyone who believe in the one side of crypto currency. I mean we can’t just rely on the atlcoins just because they are easy to buy and you think that it will give you profits.  That’s completely insane. How can anyone believe in altcoins and not bitcoin in the first place when it’s actually moving upwards. (!)

We have seen downfall of altcoins when bitcoin was rising back in time. You could end up loosing lot of money this way. It is all right if you move it ETH or more valued coin but others are terribly risky.

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

However, the point being, your speculation was right! I was wrong with the judgement else I would be a minimum of 30% more up.

Don't beat yourself up, you did what you felt was best for you and assuming you came out successful you'll be laughing at our faces now so you should just know mistakes happen. And the most important thing is that you learn from the mistakes to take corrections in bettering your trading life.

It's always not advisable to invest in alts using your bitcoin when it's on a rally, the chances of you losing your bitcoin is more than you profiting from the trade. Assuming you entered with fiats that's a different scenarios as you can always have an increase in USD but that of satoshi value is bond to fall.

Your investment in ripple was all about bad timing as people still made huge profit shorting it. And also the spot traders made some profits after the first retraced happened nevertheless I hope you learn one or two lessons from this experience of yours.

[maydna]

I hope @OP can still make money from the current situations. I see bitcoin price already made a correction and the price now want to go up to the higher price. I am not sure that if the price can get more supports this time, but if the price can get a big demand, I think this can attract to get another bull run, and the new rally will start. Ethereum and doge now are at a low price, and if the @OP want to enter the ethereum market, perhaps, it is the right time to buy some ethereum. But we need to be careful because we still don't know what will happen with bitcoin, ethereum, and the other coins.

[New.in.trading]

Hey @cryptoadviser,

Big Respect for stating publicly that you missed out on some profits in BTCUSD. That is not an often seen thing. Especially in the crypto scene, so I want to give you some Respect points for that! The trading scene overall has changed to an "Indsta-Live" thing, where everyone shows off with only win trades and tries to act like the biggest douche out there.  Keep it up, honesty is a value that is vanishing from our society.

[poodle63]

None of us could really predict what's gonna happen but XRP massive dumping is kinda obvious considering they are facing SEC which trying to make a lawsuit against them. XRP has been known to be some kind of "centralized" as well and that's why the hate to it. I'd definitely prefer to diversify or spread my money to some true decentralized coins that way the government could do nothing but just to monitor taxes and can't intervene with the coin itself.

[Sirait]

^ plan B is always needed when you prepare yourself for trading. you will not be afraid to take steps if you want to profit in trading, I have seen many people who lose when trading are those who are always in doubt about their choice.

[Reid]

That's great to hear.
Diversifying is such a mess, I don't really do it quite well. It's may not be my forte.
I tend to confuse the details of one coin with another even with an assistant (wife).

I sold some of my BTC too with other coins and some as cash.
Many of us could be on the same page as you.

[imstillthebest]

your already wrong the moment that you swap all your btc to xrp because it was clear that btc is making a move last time but ripple was in the process of making a possible bull but didnt happen .
your still lucky because you bring back some to btc and put few to altcoins .
 xrp is also getting back on track with the latest positive news from its creators , hope that will make you more happy and you dont need to put your self down because your still right somehow .

You cant remove on someones mind thinking of about the probabilities or chances of market switch up.We know that after bitcoin bull run then markets tends to shift into the other side.

The issue here is that the market trend didnt really changed up but instead it did really go for a unstoppable rally which did really result into red season of alts excluding to those top alts
which are making some serious gains at the moment.

Also, XRP does have some issues to add up and such conversion was really an unfortunate one yet it timings where xrp is facing up problems which in result into
dipping its price. Diversification isnt bad but with those calls sometimes doesnt turn out to be good.

[Wulan_maniez]

As the market grew, many new cryptocurrencies emerged including Altcoin. Choosing the best Altcoin is a pretty difficult task, as there are
thousands of options out there. Therefore, if you want to succeed in investing or trading you must analyze the historical  trends of the coin,
its technology, as well as its uniqueness so that what we expect will give you an advantage in  investing.  Your  choice of coins  does  have
a pretty good history. So that you can multiply all your capital with the profit.

UPDATE 1: Made it all back in the recent Ethereum and Doge move. Holding multiple coins which are pretty up! The client seems happy now! Thanks all for the support! I was terribly wrong but I have understood how to trade alts now! Will keep you posted about my portfolio.

That is the thing with altcoins, the only coin in this market that you can hold for the long term and be completely sure that it will give you profits is bitcoin, when it comes to altcoins you need to always be ready to get rid of them as soon as you see some weakness because as you can see the crashes in those coins are massive, XRP had a massive crash of 50% despite being the third coin in the market at the time, so I am sure you can imagine the kind of crash that you can see in coins that have lower market caps.

Anything could really happen even if its on the top rankings and on the example you had given which not everybody had anticipated.Nothing can be predicted in ahead of us or on what would happen in the future.
We do all speculate and its bad to make pity of yourself about you had done the wrong decision and other do make it right.Thing here is that you should really make yourself persistent into this very unpredictable
market.We would really be committing mistakes which are common and it isnt right that you do degrade yourself just because you did make it wrong.
Just try and try to be sustainable and  be persistent into this market. It might not be easy but due to experience you can really handle it somehow.
