I have a friend who borrowed money from his colleagues and bought BTC during the bull run last 2017. He was so regretful when the market started dropping down. He's still paying the borrowed amount until now using his salary. He's still hoping that the bull run would happen again soon. It was a wrong move for him to be influenced by the hype during that time but it's a lesson that he will bear until he's done paying his debt. Excitement and greediness could lead us to wrong decisions in life. It's fine to hope for a good gain but we should also consider the market situation.
This kind of story also happened to my friend lol but the money he invested came from his personal savings. He regrets too much because he was expecting too much from his investment not knowing the risk buying on a bull run. Most of us is hoping for another bull run like what we experienced in the past 2017. As for now, we should or we could save up as much as bitcoin as we can. I experienced so much upset on the opportunities that bitcoin showed me and I will make it happen when the time comes.

The fact is that a lot of new cryptocurrency users who became investors because of the huge excitement in the cryptocurrency market in 2017 are still in debt, because they took loans and borrow money to invest money in bitcoin. But they chose a very inappropriate moment when the price began to rise above $ 15,000. To date, people have not even been able to regain the funds that they spent on buying bitcoin. But if a person during this time has learned to trade in the cryptocurrency market, it is possible that he could get rid of his debts. Nevertheless, the purchase in 2017, and the sale of Bitcoin in 2018 is a very unprofitable transaction, even if you sell the number of coins at today's price, then this is even more loss than there has been so far.
I'm the most unluckiest person, because I brought 0.5 Bitcoin in 2017 3rd quarter and sold it in 2018 before it is going to down fall.
i don't think you are unlucky in this one?you have bought Bitcoin at 10k value more or less and sold to 15k range i thinks so that means you profited from that? I have converted all my Stellars in to Ripple, Stellars and trax coins. But till now I could not sell them due to that they are in very low position. If ince again I have chance to sell them in price rice in 2020 I may be very happy. But no hope it is according to my fate.
this is another story because in this one we are talking about your altcoins so better keep the holding and don't rush.also don't expect Good return this `2020 until the pandemic ends because as long as the world is in crisis ,for sure market of crypto will remain Dip like now.
2017 is the best time for crypto currencies history. After 2017, the price of crypto is going to down and down. I am also happy if it will reach the same place of 2017. I believe that crypto will also replace and better position in the future.
Well, there is no doubt that we will experience a bull run again, it may take time but it will happen for sure. Before 2017, people has been holding strong with their investment and they only made good profit by selling at the right timing.
The journey of the holders is quite hard, but they trust crypto and they for long term.
The secret here is just to hold longer and never get panic at any bad situation.

I guess that will happens in the future, but we don't know when it will happen. 2017 is the year on where people can make the biggest profit from the altcoin, and at the end of 2017 and the new year of 2018 is the best time for bitcoin because the bitcoin price finally reaches ATH which make every people shocked to see the increase of the price. So we have another opportunity to see that will coming again in this year or the next year since bitcoin will get halving in this year, and that can give a chance for bitcoin price to increase higher. And who knows, we will see another ATH.
This is a sad and disappointing experience if I experience it, because in Q4 2017 bitcoin has gone up very high and I don't know the reason you don't sell it and take profit. You missed a big moment. Hopefully the assets you hold now recover soon
At that point you will never know. If I'm also a beginner in crypto then I will definitely in the same place as OP have done. Perhaps the reason why people including myself used not to sell at that time is because we believe in what we're holding too much. We could've forget the proper money management wherein it aims to diminish possible losses.

The reason of not selling at that time is very simple to understand yet people act like they did not understand. It is because during a bull run the rise makes people blind and they think prices will keep on increasing even after a certain increase has occurred. The important thing is to sell while the bull run is still happening and not get greedy. Kind of like gambling when you need to quit before the red streak starts.But even then there are still assets to hold and you should hold them till one breaks even at least. More bullish trends will come in future but you have to have patience and a lot of it.

I agree that the price of bitcoin is likely to rise later this year In 2017 the price of bitcoin was very invested they made a lot of profit There was also in 2018 but now much less No one would have thought that the price of bitcoin would go down so much. But don't sell it now The price of bitcoin will not be so low that the price will rise up front.
if you supposed to think that the market will rise back sooner, then you are absolutely right. Believing what is in your mind will be brought you too far. Ain't no wonder why people are selling their coins when the saw market declines is that because they don't trust the system nor they have patience to wait for its recovery. If I buy bitcoin in the middle of the bullish market (last 2017) and then sell during the bear season is totally a big loss for me and feel regrets about it. But if you are still holding it now, I feel you lose a lot more than I'd lose...

You are not the unluckiest person. For sure there are other people who did the same thing. In my case, I did not sell my bitcoin when it is already high way back 2017. In the next year, when bitcoin is already half of its price I needed a money. I have no other choice but to sell some. Even though I don't wanna do it, I did sold it. Up to now, the rest of the bitcoin are in my wallet and waiting for the price to increase again.

Well, It's not too late. If you have invested at the lowest bottom these past few days, then you might have a chance to make a good profit when everything is back to normal, or rather after the health crisis. The block halving can initiate a good market sentiments, because of the effect on the price before and after the past 2 halving. So, chances are, Bitcoin would probably bounce back at a very reasonable price soon.

You arent the only one who do experience such unfortunate situation.Come to think to those people who bought bitcoin wayback when its on peak price like $15-20k per coin.?
For sure that most of them had already sell off their coins for cheap and trying to recover on investing or buying back on cheaper price.This market is always unpredictable
thats why these kind of scenario or cases are pretty common.
For now take this as a lesson learn and it is much more better to accumulate coins at this moment yet most of them are pretty cheap.
Everything must take for a lesson learned, that is life of a trader no one loses, instead we are all making mistakes that turned to be our lesson learned. thats why these kind of scenario or cases are pretty common.

That very unfortunate. Not only you, But Most of the crypto traders did also like you. I was too 
We should not think about now because it only can increase disappointment and make you unhappy again and again. So just forget that and go ahead with your latest experience. good luck. I hope you will succeed in the near future.
This is why the readiness is very important before investing in this volatile market since nothing is certain here so we can easily face the disappointment.We should not think about now because it only can increase disappointment and make you unhappy again and again.

We all once experienced failure in this market because if not then you are not a cryptonians.
Plenty of people are much less lucky than you.
There have been people that spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas, and others that lost hard drives containing thousands of Bitcoins.
You lost a few bucks because you entered a market you don't understand. Get over it.
If you think you can enter at the highest of a bull market then still make a profit just months later, think again.
Spending that huge amount of bitcoin just for a pizza is normal that time since Bitcoin has a tiniest value and it took years before finding out the true value.There have been people that spent 10,000 BTC on two pizzas, and others that lost hard drives containing thousands of Bitcoins.

And look at the market now still people are spending bitcoin to even purchase KFC chicken.

Holding Means your capacity to Wait and take longer time before getting your price,don't just put time frame instead put a Price expected and that will be your pattern to sell because Volatility will always there to bring panic to us.look at the value now?there is no good profit in all of the currencies unless you are willing to risk daytrading because the market goes up and down this past 2 weeks.

don't be weak friend, you just need to wait. this year, a year of great potential. if the coronavirus doesn't spread, I think you can get your chance back. for now, it's best to hold the assets that you have, because you've held it this far. many people have the same fate as you. for now, you just need to wait until this virus problem is finished and wait for the second chance to be brought down by halving. hope that the changes that will occur will be very large.

Perhaps the biggest mistakes you have is selling them and then putting it into an altcoin such as Stellar and Ripple. I don't understand why you bought those two altcoins, or what made you sell your bitcoin in the first place.
You can sell them obviously, but it will be a big lost to you. So you have no options right now but to hold and wait for the imminent bull run in 2020-2022. I do hope that you have the mental toughness to hold that two coins that long.
