The sudden rise (from the very beginning of 2018) to fall (end of 2018 and still continuing), did you have the courage to hodl your coins and have your confidence intact just as before? Or did the extreme hustle of the bearish markets ended everything for you and even compelled you in such a way that you're now no more going to put anything in cryptocurrencies? Do you think this is an opportunity itself or is this going to end up hard in grave like most of the best ICO projects of whose tokens got dumped down to even 1/20th their ATH?

P.S.: This is just a poll, so don't take it as a measurement to decide whether to remain and/or invest in crypto or not.

Do we even have any opinions than to hold? Many of us buy bitcoin above $10,000 and it is below $4000 currently, I don't think it is wise we should sell or dump our tokens or bitcoin now as we would definitely going to sell at loses. if cryptocurrencies is not going to appreciate in future I rether keep holding than to taking this heavy loses.

I didn’t waste time in getting off the market after the last bull run, so there wasn’t any loss.
But, I did buy Ethereum recently, and that was before the price went down, but I’m not afraid. I might not have full confidence on Bitcoin, but I do believe we’ll in ETH that it will get better despite everything that happened. When eth prices will be touching again 0.1 BTC value I may go for converting it back to bitcoins. This way I will get more bitcoins for the same money I do have right now.

I cant say what are my opinion, but people said above that they still believe in crypto, I think they are reasonable, considering the crypto annual chart tends to rise.
I only hope the market will improve soon in the first quarter of 2019.Hopefully

That was still hoping now people who have to hold crypto's(including me), I still believed on crypto and that's the reason why I patiently wait when the market will rise again, strong confidence makes you motivated not to become a weak hand holder and easy to do panic selling. Real investors will understand this situation now even how bad the market they know that time to time it will bounce back again.

As an investor who wants to bag more of the projects I think this is one of the best times in this market to buy more while it's cheap. We have suffered more waves and tests of the market condition that will stay for good so I bet all on it for potential exponential gain.

Yup. This seems like a better time for anyone to start investing in the market. A lot of people believe that some cryptocurrency, like ETH, are set to perform better than they did this year. January we will see the next hard fork which is Constantinople, and if things goes as planned, then watch as the price will spark. I’m also believing that Bitcoin will go up as well, followed by some of the top coins in the market.

from the big waves that happened some time ago and a lot of losses to some of us, of course losing trust is a natural thing, isnt it ? thats why the price of some crypto is still difficult to go back up, we need pumping trust like positive news so we can more confidence

Up until now, i am still holding most of my altcoins in my portfolio because i really believed that everything will be alright in the right time. As i looked at the chart and news it is still a good price for cryptocurrency. And when bitcoin is starting to recover slowly from the price correction and going to a stable price then hopes started to grow a little more.

As a investor, we should have always have high confidence for us to handle the risks that we are taking but high confidence is not enough, we should find a good project where our money will grow and it is safe. What is the use of high self confidence if the project is trash?

IMO we all knew this would happen. Therefore I do not see price decrease as loss of confidence. Well, the price is around 4k and it is better than 0.
We should build our small economy where the price drop of BTC will not affect our earnings. And let's not think of it as regret, just an experience.

I still believe in cryptocurrencies and I'm happy to see that the poll is indicating that most members of the forum feel the same way, but it is impossible to not be affected by what happened, I knew that we were in the middle of a bubble but I had no idea that the price will crash as it did, but a crash of that size presents an opportunity for all of those that are still holding some fiat and what to invest in the market.

I would be lying if I said that my confidence hasn't taken a big kick in the teeth but it is still intact. I have held throughout this bear market and will continue to do so because I do believe in crypto and that the market overall will recover. A lot of alt-coins will never return to past ATHs but that's in my opinion for the best.

For those newbies in the market, they are now scared and probably every single minute always checking the price in the market.
But for those real crypto enthusiasts, they are now relaxing and forget for a while the market bearish and wait for the bull run.

I voted, I still believe in crypto and I know that it'll recover for sure, if not sooner, later. We must do this to avoid panic selling for those weak hand people.

The answer to this question will depend on whether you're a new investor or an old hand.

We see it play out after each bubble. New investors tend to be weak hands. At the beginning of the crash, they are confident and hopeful and intent on "buying the dip." By the end of the crash, most of them have sold at a loss and are calling Bitcoin a scam. It's something we see in all markets: impatient investors give away their money to patient investors.

I've been trading Bitcoin for almost 6 years. Nothing surprises me anymore, especially not deep crashes. It doesn't destroy my confidence at all, but it can be stressful having to hedge the value of my coins by frequently short selling.

This year we battled with two things, the sharp fall and scam icos. I think the bigger problem is not the decline. It is with the scam icos and developers who at the end will always run away with investors money. As for the market, I know it will recover some day. If not in 2019 it will be at another time.

I still have confidence as an investor because I am believing at the bull run in the near future,many people who lost confidence at bitcoin now are the one who entered at late and looking to make the quick money without knowing the what is bitcoin actually is,so we don't care about those lost investors the real investors are still holding the bitcoin.

To be honest I still hold as much as I can up until the April-May of this year. But common sense tells me that its time to dumped but my friends didn't listen to me and instead they keep on holding, but we all know what happen next, because after that everything went crashing hard and the market condition worsens.

I guess it really boils down as to what 2019 will bring, if the market recovers then I'm sure ICO will be alive again and more money pouring in.

You should add an extra option in your poll. I am pretty sure there are people that made profits in this bear market year. Or is the poll for hodlers only. Cause in my case the market went down entirely this year but I still made VERY good profits and more than tripled my investment during 2018

Glad to know that you've had profits even during bearish days, but would surely like to know whether it was from shorting BTC or other crypto listed over leverage providers or did you profit from exchanges like Binance, Bittrex and/or Poloniex through alts and tokens trading? If we talk about raking in profits in 2018, yes there were opportunities till the middle of this year, but since the market started falling down badly, most of the traders have lost only (except from the current swings going on in markets through small pumps in BTC and alts as well). BTW, it's not entirely about making profits but having/losing confidence in crypto.

I am on an overall profit. except for 5BTC I sold off most between 17k and 19k and most of my ETH above 1K. Then I took 25k to trade short to take daily profits on micro trades and profits. In that way I increased my fiat value. And the other profits I took by selling of end 2017 I used to enter the market again during previous month. So at this time I hold about 5-6 times more crypto than the point I sold 1 year ago.

Not yet, as I'm still invested as far as my wallet is concerned and am still hoping for a bounce back. My business is still growing too so I don't care that much if bitcoin slides further down the slippery slope, and knowing how this market works, it will surely find its footing once more and make another run for it, granting yet another profit-spell to everyone who's invested. Right now, I'm not in a loss, as all the money I've invested on this current cycle are basically profits from the run from 2015-2017, so I'm still good.

I believe I never need to worry due to this downfall of crypto markets. Basically, I am a bitcoin investor since 2014. I was working for campaign by the beginning of 2015 when bitcoin prices was trading around $220 and I am still holding those bitcoin payments. I am still into profits which are more than 10x reward for my faith on bitcoins. I believe this is the advantage of being a long-term holder and I am in real life realizing that benefit.

Quote from: Stedsm on December 29, 2018, 07:27:16 AM

Do you think this is an opportunity itself

When bitcoin was trading positive I was never thinking about buying more bitcoins nor never going for analyzing with the idea of buying few reputed altcoins. But I am doing those right now because this downfall must be a very big opportunity to have quicker returns for our capitals.
