My 7.2 BTC alt coin investment is now 3.7 BTC but am confident that it will recover sometime next month. I just wish that I had waited for this crash before I invested that money. I could've purchased twice as many coins. Live and learn

This year many holders are rewarded, this is not the last time im sure.

Just keep on HOLDING be patience don't panic if you see red on alts.
there 3 reasons in my mind why they are so much red numbers right now.

1. the summer - people enjoying their life and not hanging around forums.
2. the ICO marathon just stopped
3. people not sure about the segwit adaptation for bitcoin. and the ethereum transaction/miner problems the step to pos. (those 2 coins are still the biggest on the whole cryptomarkets - and this affects for sure the whole market).
we are enjoying the low, because now starts the time where it makes sense to keep your eyes open for possibilities to positionate your next big positions in your longterm investemens, Its a great chance to prepare some fresh money to get into crypto.

1. People spending more money due to vacations, this is one of the reasons why BTC is "dumped
2. Well this is not quite truth, it is still on but on silent mode.
3.And as always uncertainty will lead to enrichment of brave pioneers.

My conclusion is, we will see over 3k till the end of summer. Alts will follow.

Sold 20% of my stash @ 100 Billion marketcap. Looking back I should have sold more though. Cool

This deep correction was to be expected with so much hype going around. Roll Eyes

We had a very (unhealthy) parabolic bull run upwards in the last few months.

Got in the cryptomarket @ 20 Billion marketcap, so I am not too worried (yet).
Most of my holdings are for long term investment.

I did OK.. I mostly got out before the charts said we popped. Buying at these high levels after such a massive run is a rookie mistake. Getting emotionally attached to an investment is another. Buy low, sell high.

Investment is always associated with high, low sales. We always want to buy bitcoin at low prices and sell at high prices. Buying low and selling high is what investors expect. I store bitcoin and always keep track of their prices. If I'm high, I'll sell a bit for the cost and will buy at another time.

to much emotions.
If you were in it for quik profits, you should of sold everything, if you're a long term holder, you shouldn't even worry about this, go on with your life and once in a while check prices, dont worry about that shit to much.

Good advice. It's easy to get emotional, and the worst thing anyone can do is panic-sell. For long-term holders, don't worry, everything will turn green again. If you have the nerve and the ability, you can sell and re-buy lower; if you don't want to risk it, then just hold instead.

There is better to come, but always remember - the higher the prices go, the more the drops can hurt. If you had 10k and it's dropped to 5k... then if the next bull takes you to 100k, a similar % bear means a drop to 50k. The higher the ride, the stronger the grip required.

But everyone is expecting a big decline in August.

How can we know if this is just the start of a bigger fall?

We can't know. Is the Bitcoin civil war fully priced in now? I'm optimistic that SegwitX2 will prevail, and the bull will return shortly after July 21st... but this is only my uneducated guess. And what about ETH scaling? Will the price continue to fall until Casper? Or past then? Or has the recent whole-market drop relieved some of the ICO insanity and eased the pressure on ETH? We can't know for sure.

So if we can't know whether or not the decline will continue, we have a number of options:
a) no risk - cash out to fiat, forget about cryptos for a while and maybe come back later;
b) risk and reward - if you think prices will continue to fall, then sell and buy back more at a lower price, and repeat until the fall is over;
c) long-term hold - if you have faith in the long-term value of your coins, and don't want to risk short-term trading, then just hold, and stop checking the prices - dips come and go, crypto is volatile.

Personally I'm c with some b. I've increased my total coins during the drop, but not by a huge amount. I could have increased my stake more, but only if I'd taken more risks.

Well what do you expect when you invest in throwaway coins, which is what most shitcoins are? And what do you expect from a market that has historically had more volatility than any other market I can think of? Yeah, you're in for a bloodletting on occasion. Next time use a stop-loss order or something to stanch the flow. Or stick a crypto tampon in it and hope for the best.

alt coins are worthless, they are pure speculation. to keep dreaming about a return to ridiculous highs is insanity. but then again, the alt coiners tears will fuel the next bitcoin bullrun.

Guys, it's OK.

My portfolio dropped from $27,000 (peak) to $17,557 as of right now.

You don't lose ANYTHING until you sell. You don't take a loss until you sell. Until then, it is just a hypothetical "loss" on paper. You haven't lost anything yet, you lost a couple of made up numbers on paper. They will come back when the market starts to rise and the bull power kicks in. No worries, stay strong & hodl to your best coins and do whatever you need to to stay comfortable.

You are not alone mate even I do seeing my portfolio are all in reds which it really hurts me a lot when i do anytime i see it. Sometimes things comes to my mind that i will sell already to cut loss but i would rather choose up on holding till the end and i do really love to gamble things thats why im still hodl as of now. I know its not an easy thing but we should really avoid on selling on loss. Better to wait even more since dump doesnt happen on forever.

Just got out of it on time, theres red marks everywhere you look but there are still some coins that can be traded and get some profits for day traders. Whats happening today is not a good time for long term traders out there, hard to speculate and risk gets higher and higher everyday. I was considering ETH, but looking at the charts and the direction where its going is not good (for now).

Exactly who would like to base whole his business on something so much speculative and volatile? Crypto needs years to pass to get it's maturity. This is sad when we think about this as salvation from banks, and one manipulators are replaced by others not less sinister.

Really? I did not sell, no. Only thing I learned somewhat is I dont sell when we crash. I sell when it is going up. I can imagine we take another 20% hit. I can also imagine we will be above these levels in august already. So I buckle up and just work as usual for my money

I also not sell... its to late for me and Nobody losing money until he sell under the buy so what... keep calm ahh and go to work yes

I also belive this time it will go much lower in all coins...

Even after all the ICO being funded, the price keeps dropping still. It does seem like the rest of these projects are just for the show. If the price dip down further than $2k, I would have to accept the job offers for me on upwork. This btc dream is more like a nightmare. Cry
