If lose your Coins what next?

[Marykeller]

Am still surprised, I invest so much to lose everything and all I keep hearing is keep buying the deep. What happen to the one I bought? My balance is no longer showing because the capital has turn zero $0 but the ratio figures is still showing without any form of capital. Does this means I have no coins anymore or I have lost it for waiting in vain? Or my money couldn't sustain the time frame for my little fraction of $500 btc ?  If this happens does it means you're lost or you've your coins?

Am surprised the way you are, to hear that you have invested $500 in Bitcoin, you then lost your capital out of the blue after waiting for profits from your $500 worth of BTC.

However, your experience sounds weird to the ear because it has never occurred that a $500 worth of BTC would turn to zero, because Bitcoin decreased about 50%.

I would ask, check within yourself whether you truly invested in Bitcoin, or if it's pump and dump coins you invested in, thinking it's Bitcoin.

Basically, you won't "lose" until you realize it (sell your shitcoin), and the same goes for the reverse. By the way, what kind of shitcoin did you buy, that caused you to lose all its value? Was it a type of shitcoin with very low liquidity? If so, I wouldn't be surprised, as there are so many cases of shitcoins experiencing extreme drops in value, and most of them are shitcoins, that are not worth investing in (have low liquidity, or have contract issues, etc.). Therefore, I emphasize you must be very careful when investing in crypto, as there are so many shitcoins with no clear future, some even created for malicious purposes (including rug pull schemes).

People are encouraging others to buy consistently and store them very well for the future. This advise is usually given under the assumption that the investor is already away of how to chose the right wallet and how to preserve the private keys which are basic requirements to get started with bitcoin. Anyone who do not know how to protect his wallet will run into the same problem you explained which is what happened to the OP.

Firstly, there are certain information you need to put clear, we would like to get some Information regarding this your investment.

Did you actually bought Bitcoin or shitcoins?
Because if you bought Bitcoin I don't really see how your capital will be zero or wiped out because of the bear market and be showing zero except if you're trading futures or leverage.
Secondly, did you make use of exchange wallet buying and storing your crypto or did you self-custody?

If you invest in bitcoin and experience price fluctuations so that there are fluctuations in the value of your bitcoin it is very natural and it is recommended to buy more when there is a price drop, and certainly will not be zero value in your bitcoin unless your bitcoin is stolen and you buy it futures trading, it can end with zero.

So your coin is not if you buy bitcoin that is lost only your value when the price drop occurs, but don't worry for more than a decade bitcoin has never disappointed to return to the highest price again just you hold it firmly.

You bought $500 worth of BTC and it became $0, how could that happen? The value of the Bitcoin you bought might have dropped right now if you bought it when the price was high. But Bitcoin would still be in your wallet, it can't become $0 during the current dip. There must be something wrong with your wallet or the coin you bought. Are you sure it's a BTC coin?

The op of this thread is not active, and a lot of unanswered questions that could have helped solve his curiosity have been asked and not attended to. There is no need for this thread to continue being open; I will suggest it get locked, seeing the real matter get buried without being solved, maybe when the op is back it can be reopened for us to actually know what he means by his $500 worth of bitcoin turning into zero.

The OP keeps us guessing about what he's really asking.

Because if he invested in BTC, even if he bought it at the highest price, as long as he never sells it, it will never reach $0. Moreover, considering the ATH price last year to the current price, Bitcoin has only decreased by 50%+. So he should still be holding $250, not $0.

There are two possibilities: he lost wallet access, such as losing his seed, exchange access, or perhaps he was phished, making him think Bitcoin had reduced his assets to $0. Or perhaps the OP meant he bought an altcoin for $500, and it happened to be a pump-and-dump scheme, causing his assets to fall to $0 due to a rug pull. If this is true, it could happen because so many altcoins cause losses because their value plummets to the point of being completely worthless. That's why we always say, especially if you're a beginner, that it's better to invest in Bitcoin rather than altcoins.

It must have been one of the many questions thrown to him that would be the cause of his balance showing $0. $500 invested in BTC cannot turnout to be reading $0 putting into account that he even invested the $500’in BTC when it was at its all time high. Without him coming back to answer to the questions been asked, no one can tell what is really happening and why he said so. I hope he hasn’t being hacked off his wallet if he had used a non-custodial wallet to save the bitcoin in.

Are you saying you invested $500 in bitcoin and now your capital has turned to zero? That is not possible. Which wallet is that? Or there is something that you are not getting right about the wallet. Bitcoin has only gone down 50% from its all time high.

Many people are losing right now, but it is unrealized losses that will still later become profit.

When I first read Op, I was thinking that he was scammed because there's no how $500 was going to disappear in bitcoin when bitcoin hasn't done -60% from ATH.

I thought Op invested in a scam project or they possibly bought some shit coins thinking it to be btc. This is because I was so sure they didn't invest in bitcoin.

But when I read the last sentence, I realised that op didn't even invest anywhere. They were just all assuming

If this happens does it means you're lost or you've your coins?
