Is it possible to lose all your money invested Bitcoin in 2021?

[farhanabd88]

Its not likely to possible to lose all your money invested in bitcoin 2021 because its not possible to destroy bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin can ups or down its entirely depend on people attitude means how positively people accept or reject bitcoin. Also there are some economical term related to price movement that is supply and demand. Actually total supply of bitcoin is fixed at 21 million so if demand increase then price of bitcoin automatically grow. One the other hand bitcoin is more volatile but if nobody wants to accept Bitcoins as a payment any more then it will be worthless and possible to destroy. But this is not likely to happen in the case of Bitcoin because already lots of payment method is available for accepting bitcoin. So what is your opinion regarding this topic let us learn your valuable information.

It's always theoretically possible not only with Bitcoin, but with any other asset. You could wake up tomorrow and find US dollar worthless, because the US was nuked by China or Russia. Or maybe a huge gold asteroid will fall on Earth and make gold worthless. Or maybe all governments in the world will ban Bitcoin and it will crash by 99.9%. But the probability of such events is so low that it's pointless to worry about them.

Bitcoin though can easily fall much lower than the current price, so if you don't have strong hands, or if you can't afford to lose money because you have debts or some other necessary spendings, then buying Bitcoin now is not the best idea.

[Pandji02]

You can lose a lot if you bought it recently and willing to sell or already did it. Everything can lose it's value because of unexpected reasons. But i think right now is a pretty good time to buy it, but it might get even cheaper. Anyway i believe that in long term BTC will be back on 60k and even higher.

[dimonstration]

We don't lose unless we sell it. The market will still be able to recover in it's due time. If we sell at these rate then we were probably at lose especially if we bought it during it's high. Those who invest earlier this 2021 probably already earned or at stake of losing if they didn't do stop loss. However we can still wait till the price recover.

[Lucius]

Of course, it's possible that if you buy for $55k and sell now, you'll be at a loss - and many choose to make the move because they're afraid of losing even more. Therefore, there is always a high risk of looking for a profit in the short term, while those who enter in the long term have a much better chance of completely avoiding such traps.

Imagine someone who invested in BTC 5 years ago or maybe 3 years ago - he is certainly not in a panic, even if he invested again in 2021 - just because he already realized that in the long run no one has lost by investing in Bitcoin. Of course, we cannot plan for the future only on past events, but they can be our guidelines to some extent - as long as we stick to the rule of investing only what we are willing to lose.

[sgbett]

If you are leveraged then its a yes, and the likelihood is proportional to your leverage factor

Not leveraged - you *should* be good. (with all the usual caveats discussed over the years).

The other thing to consider is whether you have them on exchange - that also adds risk.

[GreatArkansas]

No matter what year, it will always be. No one knows what will happen in the future.

So what is your opinion regarding this topic let us learn your valuable information.

My opinion always is to read, do research then decide on your own so you will not blame anyone if you ever lost your money and if ever you will not lose, you will be proud of yourself.
Let's say if you will not invest "all" your money, then you could not lose your "all" money. That's why not going all-in always is never a bad choice.

[GeorgeJohn]

When emphasising losing investment capital via Bitcoin, i think this have to come in two dimensions which suppose to break down or have clarified explanation.

(a) investment method, whereby a bitcoin is been purchased and hold for long period of time, and when bitcoin depreciates in price or market, it's obvious that the values of btc will drop, and that is not a criteria for you to lose all the btc, because you can only lose your bitcoin all when there is no longer existence of cryptocurrency.

(b) trading investment method, it's here I Know vividly that the possibility is there for someone to lose he or her invested capital, because trading is like advance form of gambling, the probability of making a profit is not guaranteed or sure for a trader, so in this scenario bitcoin used for investment can equally be lose without been redeem.

In summary it's possible to lose and it's possible to gain this year, it depends the area of concentration via investment.

[BrewMaster]

yes it is and very easily too.
nowadays there are a lot of people who are too blinded by the bitcoin price rise or its recent fall that they forgot to learn how things work before they jumped on board. these people usually become victims of fake wallets, phishing scams, or generally get hacked and lose all their money.

from your post it seems like you are too focused on the price also, you may already be a victim like that specially since you seem to be too busy applying for different signature campaigns.

[crwth]

Unless you are trading futures markets that could liquidate all your assets and your portfolio, it's not possible. You could be wiped out of ~80% of the portfolio value if you don't take stop losses or hedge with the right asset, but it's technically hard to lose everything in the spot market.

I don't think there's anything valuable information that can be given to you that you don't already know. It's common knowledge already.

[michellee]

As long as you do not sell your bitcoin, you will not lose all of your money because when you buy 1 bitcoin at $40k and the price is down to $30k, your 1 bitcoin will still 1 bitcoin and it is never change and only the value will change. The value of 1 bitcoin will always change from time to time. There is a chance for bitcoin to increase. It can be back to $40k or $50k or even $100k in the future.

So let say you bought bitcoin at $20k in 2017-2018 and hold it until January-March. You can see the value of bitcoin will change from the lower price to the high price and the peak was at $64k.

And related to the store accepting bitcoin, it can increase more than now as the bitcoin popularity grows this year to attract more store to accept bitcoin.

[decodx]

So what is your opinion regarding this topic let us learn your valuable information.

The only people that can lose money from investing in bitcoin are the traders. In all other applications, bitcoin is equally useful regardless of its price.

[sheenshane]

Actually total supply of bitcoin is fixed at 21 million so if demand increase then price of bitcoin automatically grow.

Not the total circulation supply because based on the CMC, it's 18.7 million Bitcoin at the moment and it might the rest of 21 million are in locked wallets or lost private key that will never open anymore.

It's impossible to turn out zero value your Bitcoin investment, that will never happen of course.  There's no way to even a 50% loss in your portfolio because Bitcoin was always mattered on the demand and supply, not likely if the whole;e world demand total banning of Bitcoin which is on every dark side compared to Bitcoin adoption which is now we will see that has started in most countries especially in the third world countries.

As long as you will never sell, it's unlikely that you will lose all your money.  If you invested 1 Bitcoin, it will always remain 1 Bitcoin in your wallet.  Considering, no loss at all.

Not only that you can simply hold and not sell and wait for it to go back up (which means eventually when it goes over 64k ATH price everyone will profit) but you could also buy right now at lower levels and drop your average purchasing price which would allow you to profit easier.

I have a lot of friends who came to bitcoin in 2017 peak periods and I met them on telegram and over the years seen them buy more and more at lower levels, even as low as under 4k levels, and they dropped their average to 8k by the end all the way from 20k, some of them sold back at 20k instead of waiting which was a shame, some of them sold even earlier when they profited but I know a few who still hold their bitcoins, so long story short as long as you keep holding and buying cheaper in the end you will end up profiting or profiting quicker those are the only options.

You cant lose it literally because it will always vary with the monetary value and that would basically depending on the demand and support it has this is why its a bit hard to believe on that Bitcoin value could drop in zero in an instant.Nothing do last forever though but when it comes to potential then
we cant really just deny on how on demand Bitcoin was but this thing is never been a guaranteed thing so if you've been worrying about losing investment
with bitcoin then always remember that only invest on the amount that you could afford to lose.Nothing is guaranteed here and that should you put up into your mind.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

I have a lot of friends who came to bitcoin in 2017 peak periods and I met them on telegram and over the years seen them buy more and more at lower levels, even as low as under 4k levels, and they dropped their average to 8k by the end all the way from 20k, some of them sold back at 20k instead of waiting which was a shame, some of them sold even earlier when they profited but I know a few who still hold their bitcoins, so long story short as long as you keep holding and buying cheaper in the end you will end up profiting or profiting quicker those are the only options.

That is the smart move, anyone can assure you that you will  not loose a single dime in Bitcoin unless you less off due to panic and high volatility in the market. May be you have seasoned trading friends who knows what they are doing and so is the reason they averaged the holdings they had, the problem is majority who jump into the market have no experience in any sort of trading and those are the ones that mess up huge.

Unless you trade in the options market there is no way anyone loose dime in the Bitcoin market.

When you doesn't have the patience then losing happens very easier. With cryptocurrency we need to have the mind to take risk. We won't get anything notified, the market will vary drastically in no time. We're supposed to be prepared with different plans to make our portfolio stay without much downward deviation. This is possible, when we think about long term plans. We should also have the mind to take the capital and reinvest the profit. Some out of greed keeps investing for short term profiting which won't work as we predict.

[Questat]

That's the basics of investing, it's either you make money or you lose money.

However, based on the trend of bitcoin, there's always a time that it will be bearish, but eventually, it will recover and the market will be bullish again.
you know what will make you lose your money, that's when you panic and sell at a loss, that's the simple explanation.

Once you invest in bitcoin, you need to trust its future and you have to understand volatility.

Exactly. The bitcoin market is the most volatile investment in the world. The bitcoin price often goes up or down wildly. As a result, investing in bitcoin is very risky.
However, in our debt-driven society, it is the financial system's best defense against what will be a relentless bull market for bonds and stocks.

[ReiMomo]

That's the basics of investing, it's either you make money or you lose money.

But the question is, it is possible to lose ALL your money that invested in bitcoin. My answer is no.
I guess when there is a huge dump of the price, the value of your investment will reduce and that is the start you may think that you have lost your money. But in fact, it is not, if you can wait further longer more when the market price went up, for sure you will have a profit.

Investing in bitcoin is not a short period of time, if you have invested in 2021, just wait even at least 4 years when another halving will come and have an effect on the market, I have doubted that it will create again another new ATH in the future. So, losing all your money is quite impossible.

Bitcoin price cannot be destroy and turn value to 0 maybe we can see it dumpinh but it will not come unto that situation since bitcoin build already a solid institution. But you can lose all your money if you listen to hype/fuds or whatever that can turn your attention since not everything scattered is true so validate all the information you read before going especially if you have money stack on the said currency.

[adaseb]

I don’t think most people will lose all their money, most will hodl for a few months or years and eventually break even. However I think that many in 2021 either already or in the near future will give up most of their profits.

The most obvious of this is looking at the Dogecoin Twitter feed and how there are people who were up 6-7 figures and never took any profits because they were expecting at least $1 Doge and are seeing their profits disappear.

Eventually what will happen most people will set their stop loss at break even and it’ll cause a cascading liquidation all the way to 5 cents or so which is the origin of this rally pretty much.

[Ararbermas]

Of course it's always possible to happen when it comes investing in bitcoin. But it all depends how you can manage it. Because you know there's a lot of factors that always occur in the crypto space so if you cannot hold your emotions and if you fall to some frauds then it's possible to lose your money without knowing.. Like what you said bitcoin just follow the flow of what people attitude.. So if you can't hold you emotions because that's the most important in order to succeed surely you will end up losing money with it.

[rhodelmabanal]

Well everything is posible in crypto, if we invet in crypto we need to be more temperate and moderatien, we don't know what will happen in the next few days weeks or months. And I think it is always good to set a limitation in every investment to avoid a big loss if ever the bitcoin price drop and by the time that we invest.

[davis196]

It is totally possible to lose your Bitcoins:
1.Making wrong decisions while trading cryptocurrencies.
2.You can lose your BTC if you spend all of them in a Bitcoin scam.
Anyway,I guess that you are asking about the possible ways of the "powers that be" to destroy Bitcoin and the BTC blockchain.
Well,nobody can tell you when the big countries will become hostile against Bitcoin and when they will ban cryptocurrency trading and mining.The possibility of a global crypto ban remains.

[Reatim]

Wrong title ,Because you will never "Lose all your Money" investing in Bitcoin or in all legit currencies running here.

remember that the coins remains but only the value drops but will never back to zero mate so that must be change .

Well everything is posible in crypto, if we invet in crypto we need to be more temperate and moderatien, we don't know what will happen in the next few days weeks or months.

Yet not enough for Him to lose all his money right?

so from the title itself this is a wrong conversation .

It is better to hold and not sell and still buy more when the price is down to the lower price because that can help us accumulate more bitcoin. We can expect to make a big profit in the future when the price can back to $64k or even higher.

Your friend is the luckiest person who bought a bitcoin at a low price under $4k. I wish that we can buy bitcoin at a low price and even though we can not buy it at $4k, as long as that is the lowest price, we will make a big profit later. We can learn from people who sell their bitcoin too early and do not have the patience to wait for the price to increase back, so we do not follow their experience because we want to make our own profit.

[albon]

Yes, it is possible to lose all your money in investing Bitcoin because it is volatile unlike any investment you enter. If you are a beginner trader and do not have enough experience, you will lose your faith in this investment and sell everything you own at a loss. My advice is to believe in Bitcoin and hold it until you reach the goal of selling and you have to stay away from the FUD, it will expose you to a big loss.

[TopTort777]

Yes, it is possible to lose all your money in investing Bitcoin because it is volatile unlike any investment you enter.

How can you lose ALL your money due to high volatility? You can lose half, part, bigger part, but everything can be lost only when you loose access to your wallet or Bitcoins value drops to 0.

It was told numerous times, that Bitcoin price always recovers to some levels after huge drop. So it impossible to lose everything. Compared to investment, Bitcoin can not disappear like an investment fund or a project.

It was possible, it is possible right now. Everyone wishes they bought under 4k but when it was under 4k I specifically remember that everyone was saying bitcoin is going to zero and everyone was afraid of what is going on, I remember very clearly that people preferred selling bitcoin instead of holding it, even the ones who had bitcoin at the time (either bought lower or higher doesn't matter) was hoping to sell as soon as the price reached over 10k, look at what happened, many of them got greedy and hold.

People do not buy at low levels like they say they would when the price is high, and people do not sell at high levels like they say they would when the price is low. The thing is, people are way too greedy and scared all at the same time, when the price goes down they are too scared and when it goes up they are too greedy, you should be bit of both at all times to be a good investor.

Well if you choose to panic because the price is going down and you sell everything you have then literally you have lose all your money right? But the question is do you really need to dump everything just because the market is worsening? Or you can just keep calm and wait for the market to settle down. We still have like six months before the end of the year, so a lot of wiggle room for the market to improve. I'll be optimistic that in the last quarter, we might see a good bounce back and hit another all-time-high.

[Obito]

If you were to constantly pull it out of the wrong time everytime the prices go down, you will slowly trickle down your money but going zero is still a bit theoretical for this one because that can only happen when bitcoin has gone down to zero.

[michellee]

When you see the price reach $4k, I doubt you will buy it because you will think that the price will go down below. Yes, it goes down but you still do not buy bitcoin instead waiting for more. But when the price increase, you think that the price will go down after that, but in the next hours or days, the price still goes up and you are late to buy bitcoin. That is the scenario that always happens to us many times and we do not buy anything. Sometimes, we need to think that the price will not always go down or up, so we need to target when we must sell or want to hold for more.

In this matter, greed plays a role, and only people who can control themselves and have a target will consistently profit while others can not do the same. If they still do that and do not realize the effect, they will lose their money without having a chance to make a profit.

I personally lost almost half the estimated money I have in the market today, and to be honest I'm not worried about it, because the volatile nature of crypto certainly makes crypto prices still have the possibility of going up and of course what I feel right now may also be felt by other people.
In here  there are many traders, but of course traders have their own ways of dealing with price declines like now and maybe some even cut losses in anticipation of worse things that could happen, but for me personally, Hold is the step I take in market conditions like now this and I strongly believe the market will improve in the future.

I dont think you would loose all your money, but the question is: Can you sit out an 90% correction? Because I think more and more, this is whats coming up next, in BTCUSD. Look at all the prev ATHs, and then look what happened the next 6-18 months... HODL to death for some ppl. and once pain becomes to strong, they sell their BTC what makes price drop even more... We shall see. I would not like a 90% correction, but I think its quite likely we will see that again... Remember 2018?

[dmamigo]

Every fall of Bitcoin made people believe that it will go down to zero or will be doomed but it revived from the fall and rise stronger. Whoever invested in 2021 is not going to lose if and only if they all hold them. This thing has happened multiple times in the past. Just because the market is falling and getting worse does not mean the price so high will only give losses on investments.

Only way ypu lose all ypu money in bitcoin is if you day trade it.  Buy hold and enjoy the ride its not going away this year or any other year it's too engrained into the world at this point.

[RapTarX]

BTC was $20k in 2017 December and $3.5k in 2019; following by gradual down movement. If you are strong enough to HODL, you are not likely to lose.
Not likely to lose all but when you have the peanut left, I guess that's what losing all the sum. I wasn't directly involved in trading back in 2018 but at that time, ATH for ETH was $1500. But after few months, we have seen ETH at below $100. It's for the 2nd market cap coin but in the case of shitcoin, people lost a lot. You can't lose it all literally but you have the chance to lose most of it because you know HODL is not that see as we can say.

Every fall of Bitcoin made people believe that it will go down to zero or will be doomed but it revived from the fall and rise stronger. Whoever invested in 2021 is not going to lose if and only if they all hold them. This thing has happened multiple times in the past. Just because the market is falling and getting worse does not mean the price so high will only give losses on investments.

Many people invested in bitcoin when bitcoin was a peak and when they see this falling, they panic and sell bitcoin fast. But people who knew bitcoin before 2020 know that if bitcoin is falling, bitcoin will rise stronger. They only need to wait for a while and hold on tight bitcoin and not sell, and they can buy more because it is like a discount to them. Yes, it has happened multiple times from a long time ago. But if you sell your bitcoin at this downtrend, you will lose your money, and that will be difficult for you to buy back bitcoin because your money is reduced, and if you buy bitcoin, you will not get the same amount.

That is just the normal way of the market. You should not expect everyone to make correct decisions, in fact it is more often the wrong decisions the general public will make and that is very obvious in these type of markets. Just let people make their mistakes and it will be easier to just let it be in the end knowing you are a better trader/investor than most other people.

This is a game for the newbies, they do put their money in but they do not realize how serious this is, a good investor could retire in under 10 years, obviously you will not be super rich, you will probably "barely" retired (may need work just here and there maybe) but at the end of the day if you are smart enough, in under 10 years, you could have enough to buy a house and then save some aside somewhere and that's it, no money problem again. Unfortunately many noobs do not realize how serious it could be and just make stupid decisions.

BTC was $20k in 2017 December and $3.5k in 2019; following by gradual down movement. If you are strong enough to HODL, you are not likely to lose.
Not likely to lose all but when you have the peanut left, I guess that's what losing all the sum. I wasn't directly involved in trading back in 2018 but at that time, ATH for ETH was $1500. But after few months, we have seen ETH at below $100. It's for the 2nd market cap coin but in the case of shitcoin, people lost a lot. You can't lose it all literally but you have the chance to lose most of it because you know HODL is not that see as we can say.

If you look at history, of course this will repeat something new with a different price, where bitcoin has reached a new ATH I think the lowest price will definitely happen but I don't know how much for now I think the price is still high.

Investments this year will not lose all of it even if there is a decline, only the value of the asset decreases, so indeed you will not lose.

This will be different from knowing that before 2021, there must be an interesting story where it will be different. We can plant the word HODL. For the long term, starting a new one will definitely get good profits, no need to worry about high prices, we can judge bitcoin has mastered a lot in everything field.

Its not likely to possible to lose all your money invested in bitcoin 2021 because its not possible to destroy bitcoin. The price of Bitcoin can ups or down its entirely depend on people attitude means how positively people accept or reject bitcoin. Also there are some economical term related to price movement that is supply and demand. Actually total supply of bitcoin is fixed at 21 million so if demand increase then price of bitcoin automatically grow. One the other hand bitcoin is more volatile but if nobody wants to accept Bitcoins as a payment any more then it will be worthless and possible to destroy. But this is not likely to happen in the case of Bitcoin because already lots of payment method is available for accepting bitcoin. So what is your opinion regarding this topic let us learn your valuable information.

That is why a lot of people said that "you are not lose yet if you not sell your bitcoin". I think if we pick right coin to made investment, it is very small chance we can lose all our money, i said that because some people invested in altcoins which only get hyped and then the coin can be dead. Because bitcoin itself already proven for so many years it keep grow up and people who still lose, can hold theirs until they can reach price that can be good to take profit.

Fictional satellites in orbit with "lasers" still can't reach miles below ground to burn out Faraday cage entombed storage devices containing the block-chain (not until we build our own Death Star before the other side does at any rate) so rest easy and sleep well tonight for Bitcoin will be with us - even as we sleep.

Fools and their money on the other-hand will soon part ways - Don't invest more than you are prepared to loose financially and emotionally.

Many people making a wrong decision related to the market situation because they can't analyze better. If they can learn from the mistake, they can change to better. Otherwise, they will not get anything except getting losing for more.

If they can become a good investor, it will no need to spend longer to achieve their goals. But to become a crypto investor, it needs more knowledge and skills to select the right coins. If the beginners doesn't learn more about bitcoin investment, that will not help them to make money. So yes, it needs time for the beginners to earn money from crypto and that is the process that every people who involve in crypto will pass.

If you were to sell it at a price were you are losing and you are constantly buying back at a really higher prices, I think that in theory you will lose all your money in your investment.

Bitcoin is outgrowing the currency definition, it's now widely seen as an asset (investment opportunity/vehicle) more than it's even seen as a currency so even if it stopped been accepted, I don't think it'll die off that easily. We now have many institutional investors putting their trust into the industry by buying Bitcoin.

You only lose when you sell, as far as you don't sell you still have the same amount of bitcoin you bought when everything was going on far with the market, don't let the whale and institutional elites steal your Bitcoin.

Forget about the dollar equivalent when the markets are down and try to add more coins to your bags understanding that this is just a market phase that'll pass just as it previously did in the past.

To lose literally all of your investment into Bitcoin, the price must go down to zero. And it is near impossible thing to observe. But it is quite possible to be in big loss due to the continuous decline in the market now. If you are a HODLer it's not so big deal though.

That's the theory of losing your investment all the way to zero but I guess that's still impossible unless OP is doing futures where the risk is much higher and can clean your portfolio in one mistake or wrong movement in the market.

Unless of course you'd borrowed heavily to invest in bitcoin in which case, you can either sit it out until the price recovers enough to cashout and recoup your losses (given we're hovering around 50% of the ATH price of just a few short months ago - it may be a while)

OR, you could continue to pay interest only/interest and principle on said loan while waiting for the price to recover.
