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

[$crypto$]

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.

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.

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.
