Sorry I mean bear market.

I didn't put money that I couldn't lose so who cares. Eventually I'll make it.

I have, its do or die really?

thats a man

Fuck short term capital gains rates, long term only.

Invested what I can afford + SX-node in Vechain that I'm not letting go any time soon.

>>10081373
>implying that matters

I havent invested what i can afford to loose. Yet.

>>10081380
Same same.

>>10081360
I am here, and we do it because we believe in the tech and know markets go up and down, but hodling is where the money is, plus alot easier explaining to the tax man

>gave up 80% of his portfolio to avoid paying 15-20% on the gains only.

30k of personal money. I had a good ride during the bullrun. All things considered I had a decent buy-in point.

The fact that after moon missions for shitcoins I found link and stayed with it all of the way down is a bit ironic. I believe in its fundamentals but don't know when main net is coming. I have my suspicions and my instincts say that it's not worth trying to beat the market at the risk of missing the singularity. Plus, daytrading was taking a toll on my job and personal life

>>10081497
It's a matter of principle. Capital gains generated by saved money shouldn't be taxed the same as ordinary income.

>>10081533
why not?

>>10081360
yes, zoom out, the upside risk is orders of magnitude more than the effect of bear markets.

>>10081360
>FAAAARRRRTTTTT

>>10081567
Because any jackass can wageslave their time away and blow all their money on cars and restaurants, but as long as the tax code is doing any coercing it should be coercing those people in the direction of saving.

>>10081504

>singularity

kill yourself my man

I shorted BTC from $17.5K to $10K, then kept a solid 30% BTC/ 40% XMR/ 30%ETH split since then.
I am actually an anarchist and know that crypto just cannot fail, so I am comfortable riding this shit for 1-2 years until we get a new paradigm.

>>10081360
i wanted a house, not just a house deposit

got greedy

>>10081690
I bought eth at $3.

I held when it hit 10. Held when it hit 30. Fell back to 12. Went to 300. Sat at 300 while btc trippled.. Went to 1k,and felll all the way back down to 300.

I almost sold at the peak but decided to hold.

>>10081360
trap

>>10081360

I'm still in with around 20k since november 2017, i just don't mind it and i'll check again when it's up :)

>>10081360
>Do people who have held through this entire bull market exist? What made you do it?
Yes, I have roughly broke even by getting lucky with the ORI presale And I am putting in 150 euro every week without looking at price.
Keep daytrading with your lunchmoney BTC to 100k EOY

held for 6 years so far. why stop now?

Sauce please I need to fap to this brapper

>>10081497
>>10081533
I was at $150k, now around $60-70k, after cashing out $20k at the top into vacation and stocks. Fuck paying massive capital gains, this is also the one time I’ve been bullish on crypto, I used to think it was bullshit. Been on the darknets forever, but was never gonna hold buttcoin lmao

Because I bought Eth so wtf do I care.

>>10081784
What is this device actually? Please no braap posting I'm legitimately curious

I forgot to check Blockfolio. I broke even a few weeks ago and would've sold if I noticed. Now I'm down 70% from initial.

>>10081360
I kept holding in January because the taxes in my country are retarded, and selling to rebuy later would potentially put me in a dangerous position where I could owe more taxes than I'd make back.

With the amounts involved and my low monthly salary, I couldn't risk it.

It was a bad idea, of course; but back then I didn't anticipate that BTC would retrace so far back down. I expected 10k, not 6.

>>10081360
Yeah, couldn't be bothered to sell, also I have to verify my bittrex account and when I tried it didn't work. I'm too lazy to try again so my money is just sitting on an exchange

>tfw all in on an alt with smart contracts that hasn't seriously mooned or been added to any T1's yet

Feels good man. Just gotta wait it out.

>>10081611
>tfw cryptlet

>>10081360

I already cashed out 100k over some years so I'm way ahead. I only put in 5k into crypto overall. I would ranger just hold at that point.

>>10081360
bought monero, dnms and OTC illicit trades will never disappear, and as blockchain analysis clamps down, these actors will move to monero.
classic market-cycle anyways, i am going to be selling my xmr for 4 figures in 2020

>>10082598
Same desu. Trying to accumulate 100 XMR.

I 100x'd at my peak (500 -> 50,000). Was to lazy to sell, didn't want to deal with taxes, felt like it was "free" money, etc...
Now I'm at <7k and dropping... I'm an idiot I know but wtf am I supposed to do with just 7k? So I'll continue to hold.

>>10081360
I had terrible buy-ins because I didn't understand or get into the crypto market until December. I'm one of those guys.

Hopefully will have some decent money soon to buy in at these lows, so maybe I can make money in the next bullrun. I'm prepared to hold for a few years, hopefully will be wageslaving soon anyways to support myself.

>>10081360
all I want to know is, is that her nipple showing in pic related

It’s easy, they thought “ok, now is going back up and I’ll make millions”, then “ok, I can afford a 30% loss if it will 100x right after”, then “Mmmh I won’t sell at a 50% loss, the reversal is near”, then “Fuck you I won’t sell at a 90% loss, HODL” and they will never see their money again, neither in the next 3 bull markets.

Strength X node in Vechain, can’t sell. Ironically, if I did sell months ago and bought back in to other shit after they crashed, I’d have made significantly more than whatever bonus I’ll ever generate with the X mode...oops.

>>10081360
I did not sell the top because I thought the tax would make it not worth it in the end, then watching the market crash ultimately I just became too apathetic to care.

>bought about 1.2k worth of eth under $200/eth
>traded up to 1.7 BTC at my peak
>didn't sell at the top when i was worth $30k at nearly 30x my initial investment
>made some bad trades out of sheer boredom in march/april/may
>have about .5 btc now
>tax on my trades was 900 fucking dollars
>I'm basically breaking even at current market value

If I withdraw now, I won't even break even after taxes, I will probably be holding for fucking years. Lesson learned

>>10081360
im holding since i bought at 120 dollar. I only sold a little at its last peak

>>10081373

If that really is a man then I would fuck him to be perfectly honest. No homo.

>>10081360
I lost 200$ during the 20k to 15.5k fall margin trading. I then had 20$ which are now 85k Colx stuck somewhere and I didn't feel the need to sell them even if I could have had 1750 dollars ready to reinvest. I was too butthurt that I didn't put those 200$ into CV2/COLX. Even back then I could have taken those 1750$ and 40x them with TRTL, but I decided to be a faggot. I decided to hold.

I'm holding because I don't know how to trade. When I trade I only lose bit by bit with every trade 80% of the time. Or I lose 100% of the opportunities even an average faggot reading the charts or reading reddit and /biz/ could have predicted.
I've been far too depressed for 6 years, my mind too inexperienced and far too lazy my whole life to trade properly. I'm a self-destined poorfag.

In my educated opinion it's far easier to make money in crypto than with stocks, poker, card games. It would be a severely missed opportunity for anyone good at insider info, trading and blockchain to not get in on this.
But I just wasn't born or trained for it.

>>10081360
Been slowly buying since 2012. Shorting would have been a profitable move several times through the years, but I'm convinced Bitcoin will work out in the long-term.
I have high cash flow to my low cost of living and so I buy when there are large and fast drops with sideline money and DCA at all other times, spending when the market goes up fast.

>>10081360
Looks like my ex and looks like it was taken where I live. Wtf

Its gonna moon any day now

ridden it from 4k to 525k to 100k

>>10083068
My phone with all the nudes got water damage. It's not her I don't think. Her ass wasn't that good and she had a big scar down her spine from surgery.

>>10081648
The only sign of intelligence in this cesspool

>>10081504
You are me. I actually sold everything at one point for PROFIT. I bought back in when BTC hit 6k for its first time, a pretty solid move considering what happened after. Sadly, I started piling money into alts (mainly link and req), and I even continued to put more money in as shit continued to sink. Then I ran out of money, and shit continued to sink further. And further. And further. And now I'm 80% down from my initial.

I only put in 5k I don’t give a fuck if I lose it, that was my one time payment to enjoy these biz memes forever

>>10081360
sauce?

>>10081360
I mine ETH with free electricity. It's all profit.

>>10081360
i had 10 or so shitcoins, and sorta set myself to 5 only, that was mostly it. no point in selling now as im in it for the very long run.

>>10081380
This, can't be fucked moving anything to an exchange. The less I have to fuck around with my shit the better.

>>10083226
That very similar to my situation. I'm desperately trying to get more fiat in so I can pick up cheap alts.

>>10081360
Yes, me. I didn't have the context of being in the market 2 years prior like most people on here and it was my first bull run so I thought it would just keep going up. Little did I know, the market was already on a 3 year bull run prior. but that is okay, I just needed to experience one bull run and now I know better.

>>10081648
Thoughts on bch?

Iron hands holding strong and will go down with the ship. Never invest what you can't afford to lose.

I'm holding because I can sell my coins tax free after ~5-7 more months. if the bear market isn't over by then, I will just continue to hold. shrug. the money I put in (50k) would've just sit in the bank anyway. november - january last year was quite stressful. I'm pretty glad, that the rush is over. if BTC will tank to 2k I will just load up on more of the coins I know will make it.

>>10081365
>>10081360
I've been in this since 2011,that's when I started. Bought most of my coins in 2013... why would I dump it? I just hold...
Even after it all crashes I'm still 20x of what I invested

I will hold until Bitcoin is $200k

you can laugh at me, but so did people laugh at me years ago when I say it will be $1000k

>"hahhahaha $1000 no way lmao"

keep being smart memsters

How much for the bitch

>>10084750
imagine the brrraps she makes... mmm exquisiite

>>10082936

where do you live?

Had known about btc for a while and finally bought some in like april 2017 to buy drugs online and left what was left over in coinbase wallet

>>10081360

>>10081360
who is she

>>10081878

Delilah Strong

Hodled because I only spent what I didn't give a shit about. Plus if you hodl and it reaches your initial, then you haven't lost anything. You could have cashed out early and bought back in at blood-in-streets stage (I.e. now) but I prefer to not live life thinking about could-haves.

>>10081800
Yep, this falls bitcoin will go past 40k and touch 50k then its probably going to make anyone that held onto BTC super rich. Everybody daytrading will be sick.

>>10081365
i got in to late and im to young and didnt have the knowledge to fully grasp what was happening.if it happens again ill know what to do but my only option now that i can see to double or triple down at the bottom since i failed to sell on the way up it seems this is the only viable common-sensible option left .

>>10084745
damn nice, how much are you holding?

>>10084745

And if it does hit $200k you'll keep holding till it hits a million. You'll never sell and you'll lose it all in the end

>>10086419
i agree
>>10084745
fren you have to take some profit, you don't wants to wast it all

Felling to the HODL meme.

ATH $400k
Currently $128k

AMA Ive been Crypto fucked with no lube and have held strong

>>10081373

>>10084745
Hello pajeet
Bitcoin will grow forever
It will never stop the bubble formations
So just hold until you die right? like warren buffet
Who needs money , just look at your 'worth' on pixels

You are a fag unironically, and if you learned to trade you could sell close to a top
Buy back in, and make massive gains.
I'm trying to stack my fiat ... you know .... to spend it?

I started buying in 2016, so these "bear market" is still more than 10x my initial investment so who cares (plus i believe in crypto long term, took some profits on the way up but nothing substantial)
