If you lost it by day-trading then it's your fault.

If not, how did you lose it?

Learn from your mistakes and keep tracking.

~$200 on DBG so far, but I made the same amount back by just shifting stagnant investments to ETC

I'm hoping DBG gets it together, but I'm super close to just cutting my losses. Crazy because I couldve sold at a good point too.

>>2178648
im feeling so grim today. after last week making some nice fat gains, today i came crashing back to earth. i have a shitload of dgb, ripple, xem, and im too scared to look at my portfolio

>>2178674
Didn't day trade at all today
My main investments are in XRP, DGB, SIA. It's my worst day since starting crypto a few months ago. I'm so fucking depressed right now.

lost about $600 but gained about $5000 from btc and eth so it's all good. i think my shitcoins will come back, one bad day isn't the end of the world

>>2178648

0.04 with dgb and probably more soon since I've decided to go down with this ship

>>2178648
I know that feel. I went from 3300 to 2600. Feelsbadman.jpg

Now I know to take profits quicker.

>>2178648
1 BTC, don't feel too bad.

>>2178698
same portfolio here. I got pretty hammered today. backed the wrong horses it appears. I still believe at least one of them will turn around. sia has most LT potential imo

>>2178648
I lost -$180 or made $180.
How do you lose money in this market?
DIVERSIFY YOU NIGGER IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO LOSE

>BTC up
>ETH up
>LTC up
>HMQ up
>xrp down
>xem down

I'm still up 15% today

>>2178698
Holy fuck you didn't actually lose anything if you haven't sold you fucking retard, if you bought good coins they will more often than not reach a new ATH later.
It's that mindset that causes people to panic sell.

Even you lose significant money: HOLD. Do not sell at that loss. Unless it is some completely unknown shitcoin developed by Cletus in whothefuckistan, it will probably bounce back in time.

>>2178918
>>2178943
I know, I didn't sell. I believe they'll come back, but still it's stressing me out.

>>2178746
>>2178862
This. If you diversify properly there is practically 0% chance of losing in today's market. Stop throwing of your money into a single shit coin and hope it will moon because it most likely won't.

>>2179002
But then all the people who are up 400% on /biz/ will laugh at me when I say I'm up 15% with my diversified portfolio and call me a grandpa and I'll feel bad because being up 15% doesn't help much in my goal to not have to work.

>tfw bought 0.3 BTC at $2050 and 27 ETH at $156

Sure I got in late, but I can live with it. Already up like 1k in less than a week

>>2179025
You need to accumulate safe coins that have nowhere to go but up FIRST. Once you do that you can set aside "play money" to fool around with pump and dumps daily if you want.

>>2179002
I'm somewhat diversified (70% btc, 20% eth, 10% shitcoins) so I'm doing okay even during this dip, but I keep making bad bets on the shitcoins. is there a strategy or is the best bet to have fingers in a lot of different pies and pray?

>>2179062
Thissss

>>2178648
about 1k usd
I'll act like I didn't have the money in the first place
oh fuck

>>2179067
>I keep making bad bets on the shitcoins
That's normal. These things a complete gamble. BY the time you hear about something it's probably already too late for you to get in so be mindful of that. Make sure to set stop limits on shitcoins as soon as you see the price move up.

>>2179067

Get in during the initial excitement for the shitcoin, sell once you're up 2x before people realize the coin will never go anywhere. Sure you ain't gonna get a lambo with that money, but it's steady money

lost about 1 BTC

here's to a better tomorrow anons

>>2178648
Nothing? I just hold mostly BTC and ETH and wake up every day $10,000 richer.

>>2179122
I'm sorry dude. I hope you figured out what you did wrong tho...

>>2179062
I just want to make enough money so that I don't have to wageslave ever again and can live however I want.

I really wish there were somewhere else to discuss this stuff rather than a place where no one can take responsibility for their trash calls, or where everyone didn't have a trillion dollars in their account posting and bragging about it all the time trying to make you feel bad.

I really wish I never happened to come back here after those couple of months I left to find every every thread I used to enjoy talking about stuff in replaced by shills shilling shit and braggers. And now I can't leave because every time I think about leaving and forgetting about all of this stress on my mind I think about how I could be making tons of money now like everyone else on this board supposedly is but I'm walking away.
I think I'll just kill myself.

>>2179122
we will have a better tomorrow

>>2178648
it's been a bumpy day, I had most of my money on ETH and it's going up and down like crazy and this morning I had a lot more money than I have now, but still have my ETHs, in fact I bought more now that the price dropped a bit.
Lost some money to XRP, wasn't planning on holding long term and I just cut my loses and sold quite a lot. Still kept 2k because I have a feeling that a month or two down the road it will go up again.

>>2179062
this is the best post in this thread

>>2178648
WTF ripple

>>2179198

Get over yourself. What a fucking fanny.

You do realise that everyone here has fucking problems. I hate my job, I hate the people I deal with every day. I have dreams, desires, needs.

Do I fucking write epic paragraphs and moan about killing myself, no. I fucking work hard, and I save, and I invest in stuff that may or may not moon, and I appreciate people here because they give me the opportunity to better myself.

For fucks sake, 22 people got fucking blown up the other day, a fucking 8 year old kid who had no fucking chance at having a boyfriend, love, a house, kids of her own. Theres you cheapening life because you a such a fucking pussy.

MAN THE FUCK UP.

>>2179115
>>2179107
any advice on picking shitcoins to ride? following /biz/ meme of the day doesn't seem like a solid strategy.

ripple plus that fat monero fuck's little stunt sure didn't do me any favours today.

>>2179198
Maybe you should stop feeling sorry for yourself and think about the fact that you are still ahead of millions of neets who know nothing about this.
Get a hold of yourself and start researching and making smart investments and you will make it just fine.

Thinking about exchanging some ETH or BTC for that Litecoin dip but they just keep going up

I can't pull the trigger

>>2178648
.5 BTC :(

XRP and STR lost me about 0.2 BTC each, stupid cunt coins.

My portfolio decreased by £200.

It's almost back to where it was now thanks to based DGB beginning it's recovery rise.

>>2179248
Honestly, that's a hard question. I tried jumping on the Music and Solar trains the other day and barely made it out with tiny profits. In order for shitcoins to go up, BTC needs to stop soaring. Now is not the time for buying shitcoins desu

I'm up 25% from ETH lmao

Today was actually one of my best days. I went from $8,000 to $11,000 in 24 hours. Saying a lot considering this is the weekly crypto apocalypse. Probably because I stopped listening to biz and started listening to actual investors and doing my own research.

>>2178648
I'm up a lot today. Most of my money is in Bitcoin, followed by Ethereum, though I am only starting out and have about $2000 CAD in.

>>2178648
if youre losing money o n crypto right now you have to be literally in all senses of the word: retarded.

>>2179678
Okay thanks buddy.
This is why people get blown up.

Took all my money out of alt coins when I could and split it 2/3rds BTC and 1/3 ETH so I ended up .05 BTC down but still up $600. Trying to figure out when to put into some promising cheap alts. Looking into esters and sia.

Me lose 0.007 btc in very bed DGB, I guess this is $10, I guess, now me cant feed my 20 kids here in nigerria.

>>2179684
honestly though. just fucking throw it in ETH or LTC and youre golden for years. dont trade shitcoins theyre called shitcoins for a reason.

up pretty big overall, sold a bit last night and tonight to leverage my position. took out my gains and playing with house money. Been burned way too much in penny stocks to be too greedy with glorified pump and dumps, but still dont want to fomo too hard

How can people lose in BTC when it's been rising for the past two weeks?! Just last week it was going to break 1900 and everyone was freaking out and today its at 2500

>>2178648
I lost like .25 btc :(

Went to school for one hour and left a stop loss with what i thought was a good number and this altcoin dip fucked me in the ass.

>>2179701
>LTC
100% grade A dogshite

LTC is a meme. Stay clear

>>2178648
>How much did you lose today?
Nothing. I'm up $1,334.69.

>>2178648
BUY. THE. DIP.

>>2179258

Amen to that. I took a hosing on both. Still going to hold though

Does anyone else find holding to be really easy, no matter how bad the coin tanks, it's when there's a gain that I really get the urge to sell, to make it "real"

Why did coins dip today? I'm looking at coinmarketcap.

>>2179966

Partly due to consolidating behind btc/eth, partly profit taking from the crazy bubble week we've had, partly from xmr dev trying to prove his spastic point

From what i see you people like to go I'm on one coin. Thats your fucking problem. Invest in more coins! and remember your staples BTC AND ETH. HELL YOU CAN ONLY HOLD ETH AND BTC AND MAKE MONEY . You dont need shit coins.

Remember 80% in eth and btc 20% in shit coins.

>>2178698
You didn't lose anything you faglord. This is the season of dips

only +5k today, can't complain

>he didn't go long with everything on ETH

It's like you people hate money.

>>2181187
oh you cad

>>2178698
>My main investments are in XRP, DGB, SIA.
Holy fucking shit. Terrible.

Ride the waves.

>>2179002
Could you explain how is buying different cryptocurrencies is diversifying?

As far as I understand they are all subject to the same risks, e.g. speculation, etc.

>>2179880
Because most of the people here are young poorfags with less than $100k who invest into pump and dump shitcoins rather than anything of value

>>2178648
i made $1889 today

>>2181187

i love your tabs

>>2179245
>fucking fanny

>>2178648
I lost $7000 today. I was trading on margin too so I had to close out my positions. The money is just gone.

Fuck DGB especially. Fuck DGB in the asshole.

>>2181395
Nah, 5/10 tabs game, too standard, plays it safe, just like that portfolio.
Tabs game is high risk only, go big or go home.

>>2178648

Up about two fiddy

>>2178648
have not lost anything, because i'm not going to close my dgb position

I'm down 10% on my *BTC portfolio* but countering the USD rise I'm basically equal.

Wasn't around to cash out my altcoins before BTC started rocketing so I figure I'm going to hold them instead of taking losses. Hopefully doesn't last too long.

You guys need to try and maintain some perspective. Step back and take a look at the last week or two

5% + - in Btc term, gain value in usd

>>2178648

Just lost ~$1400 from MNE, shit is tanking hard. Holding on like a warrior though.

around 2 btc. I dont give a fuck tho because prices are fluctuating every day anyways m8

>>2181573
Some guy just cashed out, please get this stupid coin on another exchange. The volume is awful

>>2181550
This.

What are you complaining about? Prices are constantly fluctating when playing with memecoins anyways.

>>2179248
>any advice on picking shitcoins to ride?
If you ask stupid questions like this then its only a matter of time before you get whaled

>Sold my SYS bought at 4800 for 4400 just so I could hurry on the VOX rocket
>Barely get in at 2600, before it spikes
>Think I made a good deal

>8 hours later

>SYS at 7000
>VOX at 1500

>>2178648

gained like 0.8 btc

>buy vox at 1400
>5 minutes later its at 2350 again

was gonna buy more at 1900 but i am super glad i didnt.

.1 BTC on bad trades. In theory maybe about .2 BTC because of gains I lost not just leaving shit in ETH and BTC.

It's okay. I made $2500 these past two weeks. You win some and you lose some but your portfolio will go up on average as long as you don't go all in on something stupid.

>>2181735
For some of these shitcoins especially on lower volume exchanges if its already up 100-200% for the day you need to hold that thing like its a hand grenade.

>>2179058
1k pesos
you ain't talking usd

Lost over 1BTC because I had almost half my portfolio in BURST and XRP. Went from 17k USD to 16k USD

>had 25% XMR, 25% BTC
>sold all my XMR for BTC when that bullshit announcement happened (before it dipped too much).
>wake up to find BTC rallying
>feels okay man

>I LOST 0.1 WAAAAHH MOMMY
What the fuck is wrong with this board? Do you all have noodles for hands? This is THE most volatile investment there is. Don't invest if you don't want to lose money. Holy fucking shit.

Buy the dip

RDD keeping the ship afloat.

To be fair bitcoin is saving everyone's ass at the moment since some alt losses are offset by bitcoin gains

A lot of newfags don't realised it matters just as much what's happening with BTC as it does the alt itself

I lost 4000 USD a few weeks ago from a liquidation, boys it happens and you can make it back. the pain goes after a week and your loss makes you think more clearly. Congratulations on your first lesson op and I wish you many gains in the future X

>>2178648
Hopefully this will turn into a proper bearish period and all the pumpchasing noobs will continue to lose.

Crying threads are alot more fun to read than "I turned by $100 into $1000 by going all in on X shitcoin in an extreme bullmarket!'

>>2178698
Kek the terrible trio, I'm sorry OP just hold and set an order above your initial investment and move out of those coins

>>2178648

Lost .6 all up, which is not bad considering I've made a healthy amount to say the least. I see a bright future to come so I don't let events like this affect my rationale.

Dips i bought if anyone is interested are STEEM and SC.

I lost on VOX and TRST mainly. I have sold all my VOX at a loss but I remain strong on the fundamentals of TRST. Target for TRST is 19754. Bought at average price of 11000

Cheers guys happy trading be safe out there.

>>2178648
Down 0.65 btc, up 1000 usd because btc is going up. Seems like I'm winning no matter what.

>>2178648
Went -$300 but back up to $100+ as we speak

>>2179245
Preach brother

I lost .15 btc but I still have virtually the same amount if converted to USD. So i guess I lost nothing, right? And when it recovers I'll have more.

>>2182550
Of course. It's just disappointing if at the end of the day I would have been better of just keeping my money in BTC instead of riskier altcoins.

Wtf are you homos doing?

I'm up 15%.
You need to DIVERSIFY, especially into low market cap alts.

Shit tier altcoins lose relative to BTC more than BTC rises, so they fall in FIAT
The giants loose relative to BTC but stay stable in relation to FIAT
The kings gain both in fiat in BTC, essentially giving you double gains

Always convert to fiat before calculating your losses. You probably even made money.

>he doesn't hold majority bitcoin

You are crying bout 1btc... Wow dudes... I have lost 30btc to today cause btc rising so hard. Stupid faggots stop dumping the shit to get btc. Btc will crash today and after that you will cry more

>>2178648
Lost 0.4+ btc so far because bought RDD at 96 sats (peak). Never trusting the jews on this board again. But I'm holding it in hopes it goes back up.

So 12 coins out of 840 are positive.
WOW

>>2179245
I dont care about things that happen in non white countries if they want to blow themselves up thats fine.

>>2178648
>he didnt cash out yestarday when dip was coming
>he didnt put it all in mooncooin

>>2178648
reinvest in mooncoin, its the next reddcoin and will moon and make you 2x 3x times your profit

Nothing, even though all the alt-coins dropped, the price of BTC went up to the point where I'm still gaining. Hell yeah!

I'm down 1.25 BTC for the day due to everything doing poorly against BTC(even ETH). Feels bad but being up $2,600 compared to fiat makes up for it a little bit.

>>2183568
losing 0.1 BTC is losing 0.1BTC regardles of how many $cuckbux$ it's worth.

down 1.5 btc. should have put more in mooncoin @ 1 sats lol

I have lost $25,000 in the last 3 weeks.

Thanks POSW

>>2178648
I didn't lose anything because I'm not a dumb retard gambling on alt coins

>>2183658
If I hadn't gambled on altcoins I'd still only have 4 BTC instead of 15, can't be up every day.

-0.75% here, have been a bad goy not juicing that BTC bag up regularly enough

Blockfolio isn't updating so i dunno lol, probs like 5k but i lose that once a week and make it back and more so who cares.

>>2178648
Didn't lose anything.

Made a bit of BTC.

>>2178648
Bought into DGB at 740. Bought into SC at 400, BURST at 600.

>>2184936
are you me :(

>>2178648
Get a real job and make that amount back in a few days.

>>2179002
Got 5 coins and they're all green and still going up, feels fucking good bro.

>>2185139
>Get a real job and make that amount back in a few days.

Working for days to earn a measly 0.1 BTC.

That's a depressing thought.

Happy i dumped my shit coins. Including DGB before the crash. I just put it all in ETH at $128. Pay check incoming tomorrow and ill scoop up some more DGB because she's waifu

>>2179627
>listening to actual investors and doing my own research
Where to start with this??

>>2178648
0.4 BTC holding PoSW

>>2185310
Always better than being depressed about losing 0.1BTC

>>2179341
> Now is not the time for buying shitcoins desu

You are fucking pussy. This is the right time to buy shitcoin and I got ton of it becoz I know that if bitcoin stop soaring there will be my turn.

btw diversification is a meme. Most of this people got only $1000-$10000 in their portfolio. You need to have atleast 100K in your portfolio then think about diversifying it.

gained 10%-20% a month? with $1000-$10000?

What a joke.
