All you retards posting about "falling" for HODL being a meme. Don't complain about HODL being meme when you're a newfag and you buy ATH and then complain when we sell off and have to endure prices falling a few months. If the bull market continued all you fags would have got an unjustified sense of accomplishment and thought you were so clever. You remind of the newfag traders at my office who all they do is hindsight trade. Hindsight trading is 20/20 right through the asshole. You can not pick the market perfect every time, accept that you'll be wrong with your entries especially in a market as young and volatile as crypto.

HODL works until it doesn't. Trading basically never works, though.

I wish I had HODLed more in the last month, I'd be way up. Instead I made like 5-10% overall.

I am not mad I fell for the hodl meme. I am mad I lost 1/3rd of my portfolio to the low market cap meme. It even turned into a $100 per day volume meme. Yay! I am okay with not locking in my x3 ATH, but this really leaves me behind ass ravaged, I'll never forgive myself falling for this meme and missing out on this year's bullrun with a third of my starting capital.

Who's to say it's over. I'll be putting more money in, in the next few weeks. I'm more scared of not being in for the next bull run than finding out I could have gotten a better price a week later.

I wouldn't be so mad if I had actually got up my ass and tried for a mini job from january onward given how I could've easily multiplied my earnings with the current market, but now it's going back up and my lazy neet ass doesn't have a single cent to feed the bubble.

Bought ATH with 13k bucks

Currently at 8k bucks, lowest was at 3k bucks

HODLing is the only thing I can do

That's the past, try and make some money to put in I don't think the bull run will start until later in the year when projects start delivering.

I'm saying HODLing is a good strategy in a new and volatile market if you believe in the fundamentals and that newfags shouldn't complain about the strategy simply because their exit was 'poorly' timed.

>>9001054
Gotcha. Thank you for the clarification. I agree. It is funny how every biztard thinks they are Gordon Gecko and they can play the market to riches. If anything it's been shown time and again holding long is the winning strategy. Take profits when it runs of course but fucking hold biztards, christ.

To me HODL has always been a really stupid meme. When I see people posting their folios where they've allowed themselves 90% losses that need 900% gains to break even in my eyes they're done. It can work with extremely carefully chosen things but everyone seems to say that 98% of coins are worth nothing. If everytthing has gone down holding is the first insitinct, so buy and if you can't do that you should probably sell.

I'm not saying HODL verge or some other trash coin, but being butthurt about your entry in a crypto where there is no way to determine 'fair value' is ridiculous. Cryptos are and extremely volatile asset class, the HODL meme would be completely retarded in an asset class like stocks. In crypto though the swings are so large that having 10-20% stops(provided you are not using margin) and believe in the fundamentals of the coin is a terrible strategy when coins can pump so hard. I think you are also looking it from a hindsight perspective.

That's me. Ouch.

I had no concept of risk management at all, it's really very sad. I'm now just hoping for a fucking miracle.

Everyone could win something from at least being able to reevaluate the risk of their positions once in a while. When things are up I think it's positive to take some profit with responsibility. It can help keeping emotions in check in the worst moments, some may be able to keep them under control without that but I consider them truly exceptional people and I really mean that. It can still be a dangerous game for them. Everyone wants to believe they've found the fastest horse. Then you talk to them about how it may be ridiculous to say that the horse is faster than light then it's FUD sage. That's my impression of most HODLers. When you ask a coiner if you should hold their coin or sell it they will probably say hold whatever their coin is and that's where a lot of people get most of their information from. And there's a person that bought at ICO price and another one that bought at 30 x ICO price. They can both believe in the same fundamentals from the bottom of their hearts but one has more room for mistake. It's a very vicious cycle.

I don't like giving the sads but sometimes it's for the best. I don't know how much you've put in, maybe the solution is to sell some (or even all) of your things slowly while putting as much slowly on a couple of completely different things that you find really on your own after spending months looking at them carefully. And then you find the 5000% miracle. Aiming for the starts is very positive in my opinion but you can't wait for the miracle you need to find it.

Unless one had sold almost perfect top 19k range, then hodl would still be nearly as profitable. 19k - minus 25-45% of capital gains taxes depending where you live puts you at 10-13k range
