you either leave early making profit but missing potential moons or stay long enough to reach a new ATL.

My ATH was 45k. My initial was about 10k. I'm at 10k atm. Fucking sucks that I didn't see the bubble and didn't take out at least 5k to go on a nice vacation in Summer. Atleast I learned some market psychology and overall I think I'm prepared for the next bubble...if it comes.

>> No.8553058

Yep, you're fucked either way. I am suffering serious anxiety attacks lately due to how much money I lost by not cashing out in Dec/Jan, but I daresay if I had cashed out and it doubled again I would also have felt just as bad.

Ho ho, you will find yourself to be sadly mistaken. I was here for 13/14 and still fucked up the same this time around :)

People don't change. If I was the sort of person to cash out, id have done it at 3k like anyone else who had half a brain.

Only utter fucking brainlettes held all the way to 19k, thinking of it now. How stupid do you have to be to hols that high up, lol. Stupid enough that you will never sell.

Sigh

Lost all my antshares before it was NEO and a 5$ piece. I rather not think about it too much. Take a break from crypto only to buy projects that I had missed at near ATH.

Don't worry too much, we are still going to make it.

I know those feels anon.

I started my journey in 2013 when Bitcoin first breached $1K.

>But I was too cautious, bought $2,000 worth of Litecoin and then saw it fall from $50 to 7 in subsequent months, bitching out and selling low like a total norman.

>In 2015, /biz/ shills ETH, reluctantly buy a few hundred ETH. DAO happens, shit dumps hard and I lose my nerve again, sell at mild profit.

>In 2016, read about Ripple, decide it's future-proof, invest some small amount

>Forget about it until early 2017, log in one day to Kraken to see it worth like $30,000K.

>Instead of cashing out and jumping into new emergent alts like ANS, I stubbornly hold Ripple, bleeding value for most of 2017. Sell it right before the 2017 bull run.

>Really pissed right now, since absolute morons and newbies who entered in 2017 were already millionaires while I wallow around $30K net worth

>Decide to do fundamental analysis of new alts at a time when the market crashed due to China FUD. Buy a handful of promising ICOs, including a large stake in REQ at 4 cents.

>Shit moons to $1.20

>Smug face

>I hold it down to 15 cents and now.

Not selling this time fags. I went against my own faggot instincts and doubled down, increasing my stack during crashes and dips.

Tbh I did think that I would rather hold and go down than to take profit now and maybe miss out on more gains since 45k is fuck all desu and I'm still young so I got time. I also didn't think that I would be hit so badly, I was thinking like maybe 50% correction which will still give me some nice vacation money, but god damn I learned now that alts bleed the worst in this market.

This is the correct attitude anon. You lived an example of why people saying "hodl" is a meme are the retards.

I'm also just accumulating REQ, and I'm not selling until I make it to 1 mil, which after researching everything about it, feel it's the next best shot at another 100x run.

Yeah, I bought 10 BTC at 250€ in 2015.

Recognized a bubble forming, so I sold 25% each at 1000€, 2000€ and 4000€ in 2017. Reinvested half at the 2000€ dip after that. Hodling since then.

So I'm up x4 so far even if BTC goes to zero.

Could've made half a million if I'd sold all at 4k, reinvested at 2k and then sold at ATH. Didn't sell ATH because of tax reasons, gains are tax free in Germany only if you hold for a year, which I didn't yet.

Honestly, this sucks.
I put in $35k in mid Feb this year.
This after I secured $1.5MM spread in appartments($2k/mo passive income), stocks, deposits and cash.
If I 10x my imvestment, I will start cashing out some bits. If I go to zero, I won't buy a car in the next 4-5years.
Gambeling is dangerous anon.
