I like to share my story being a crypto enthusiast, a trader and an investor at the same time.

I started in this forum in year 2015 when altcoins are still a good investment and Binance is still not the most popular exchange in the market.
I trade with Poloniex most of the time, sometimes I trade with Bittrex but then I realize that I am not so profitable with trading since I cannot focus on it due to the reason that i have a day job to prioritize.

Therefore, I started to invest for long term and I was entice by how the market moves and I was so optimistic that long term could really change my life.
So to make the story short, I invested with different altcoins and have help it until now.

Now, when the bull run comes, I still couldn't sell right away as I was getting greedy thinking I could earn more when I still hold.
of course, who would not HODL when all your friends in the group chat are also doing the same, even if the price rise high already, they are still saying HODL, and I really do it, and just sell a small portion of my investment to reward myself temporarily was I was into a big goal with my remaining investment.

And then, the correction comes started in year 2018, and I still didn't panic, continue to hold and even accumulate a bit when I see price has really dump a lot, just imagine ETH drop 10 times, so its really cheap and really tempting for any investors. So here I am now, I am still holding at a big loss but at the same time I am still hopeful one day my dreams will come into reality.

So top 10 of my portfolio consist of the following based on my blockfolio.

1) Atlant
2) Edgeless
3) Centra
4) Humaniq
5) Matchpool
6) Lunyr
7) KIN
8.) FUEL
9) SONM
10)NPXS

Please tell me if I should still expect I will be profitable or just give up now already.

Try analyzing the market value always and track the movement of it so that you can come up with a better decision as you see what's really going to happen with your holdings. The cases among cryptocoins and tokens vary, there are some of it that grows very high all of a sudden after a long time and there are also instances where your holding appears to be a deadcoin already meaning you should already give up on it. Be smart and wise always, make sure you track the movement of the market value so that you may know if you are already a fool to hold for so long or not.

I personally wouldn't hold altcoins long-term, save for few top altcoins and probably few new solid projects
In my opinion, most of your funds should be in Bitcoin, top altcoins could be allocated with 40% of the total fund while the remaining goes to Bitcoin(50%) and 10% for the new solid projects.

All these coins are good altcoins, right now i am sure you would have learn your lesson, coins will never keep surging without reevaluating, the fault is all yours, hopefully the future will be better

How can you say all the coins are still good? by seeing their trading volume? many coins from this has been died, like Centra,Sonm, Matchpool, Edgeless and some others. Most of the projects have no catchy update, how can these coins give him enough profits? No way.
Better I would suggest to OP, sell your altcoins and buy the reputed, updated one or buy the Bitcoin, as the Bitcoin halving is coming.

The word 'HODL' works for many and did make many into millionaires, it depend on how less greedy and smart you are, i think the fool here is you, pardon me but its true, when coin brings 2x or more you have to take profit out because its certain that price will fall sooner or later

From my point of view, if your profit is negative already there is no reason to sell... The loss you already has, selling it or not, then why not continue hodling, at least there are chances you can recover these losses in the future.
But once you have a profit chance, during a bull run, I suggest you to sell your coins and recover your investment with profit, then you start investing again later. Because to hodl forever doesn't make sense, sooner or later you need to enjoy this money, otherwise you will get older, weaker, so you couldn't use it nicely.

Sometimes we made silly decisions by hearing people and not hearing own mind. You are not alone here, lots of people did the same mistake by hearing people's chorus HODL HODL, Btc will be 40K USD in February 2017! Even If you make a topic about Hodl or Sell today, 90% of people will suggest you hold! They even don't know about the project but still will suggest holding for future profit, it's like those people have a mindset about holding. Honestly, I don't think your holding coins will make you profitable anymore, in my view only NPXS and FUEL seems good, others are shit.

Holding on to coins while they are surging is plain stupidity, what do you expected? they will keep going higher and higher? that's greediness my friend, for every crypto you hold always have a target and plan to opt out when you meet your target

I think that holder always will be winner if chosen coin or token are really good. But I think that you should add Bitcoin or Ethereum to your portfolio.

I agree with you, Bitcoin and Ethereum are the keys among others. In my opinion, it's better if you can give more focus on coins that are in the top 5 right now, because that is likely to bring profit to you at the right time. We all know that nowadays new projects are hard to believe. They are telling us to HODL, while on their own there has not been any significant development and they seem to have failed in making us feel safe in the current position.

Selling the tokens right now may be pointless too since the price is just too little especially if you only hold few of it. I have about if these tokens too. Among the tokens you list Its Edgeless that has the most value during that time because its when ETH really goes skyrocket. The team also distributed a lot of tokens to the bounty hunters which equates to more than 10 ETH that time for those with high ranks.

Edgeless these days seem to be an old project already because there are more platforms created to compete it. Same with Atlant, there are platforms of same concept too. Holding them today for bullrun may still be profitable for you

Honestly, you should hold till the right point, because it makes no sense to invest in ETH back in 2016 for 80 bucks per coin and see ETH in summer 2019 for exact the same price. For everyone this point is different, so only you and your greed decide when the sell.

I don't know what to say, but I think you have missed your opportunity to sell the assets you have. I don't really know about all the assets you hold, but as far as I know, Centra has turned into a scam project after the CEO is in trouble. besides that, I think SONM also has quite a bad price.
I just want to say that changing the portfolio you have right now will be a good move. however 2020 will be a new opportunity, so try to match the popular coins that exist today.

For some investors there is no other way out now, except for HODL, especially for those who entered the market at the beginning of 2018. About your situation, you need to study each project, their roadmap and upcoming events, maybe there is no sense in holding some coins.

We don't need to expect too high returns in some projects, since somewill not going to last.like some of those listed with OP, some were no longer put updates and determined scam. I understand that holding is all that we can do when we're already late to stop our loss since who knows the cycle will happen again like how 2017 pump did.

it's hard to bare on our mind the expectation versus reality scenario and in the end it makes us very frustrating and disappointing on the outcome. As we recall the value of crypto currency and it's popularity, everyone of us benefit those days especially those users hold for very long period of time as they are suddenly have a lot of money on the unexpected profit. On my own possible perception, I believe that it may happen in the future as long as the user can hold it for a very long period of time with patience to take care of the emotions that the user have.

Once the projects is still alive and functioning, there is still hope no matter how slim it is, I have seen seemingly dead projects come alive in a bearish market and when the bullrun come, the dead really comes alive and does well, so you might be lucky when the bullrun comes but you shouldn't hinge your hope on it to avoid double disappointments, Cryptocurrency is a mystery especially when it comes to trading and hodling but it has it's perks and when any of them ends up doing well, it would be worth the time.

Now, when the bull run comes, I still couldn't sell right away as I was getting greedy thinking I could earn more when I still hold.

Same here, though I only have ATLANT, ETH, and MCO as the top coins that I am expecting me to give me more profits when the bull run came last 2017, it got me hyped where my greediness exceeded my expectations, and I ended up disappointed when 2018 comes, when the prices of all cryptocurrencies started to fall down, I've realized that I should have sell it right away. I also have EDGELESS but I was just a beginner when I had that token, I don't know about the properties of it, that it also go up like bitcoin.

But, cryptocurrency always disappoints us, no, I guess we just don't have enough knowledge to do what we have to do in able to gain profits. If we sell it in instant when the price goes up, it will keep going up, and if we hodl it hoping it would goes up even more, it goes down, it is so confusing, therefore we are always stock in the middle of making decisions whether to sell or hodl.

Sometimes we're HODL not by choice, at least not entirely. There are times when we had to hodl for just because it is what it is. When the losses are too big to bear hodl might be the only way if you're still hoping for a miracle to happen that only God knows when.

What I think about one coin in your list is that, I don't think centra will ever be alive again. Because that was considered as a fraud, that brought that coin down a lot. I manage to observe that coin since I was a bounty participant on their bounty.

Indeed, Centra used to have quite the price when it was released back then. I forgot what happened but the price dropped very deep and I think that centra is valueless now.
