Well just like what I always say, you're not losing your coins yet if you didnt sell so dont stress yourself. FUD is common during this time wherein the market is bloody but its not a reason to panic if you know what you're getting into in the first place. So dont sell, hold and forget for a while your crypto investment.
Most probably that was a tactic of OP so he can buy more bitcoin. I can't even try to sell my bitcoin even if its market exchange today is below $40k i'd still believing in the mere fact that bitcoin can still recover from sudden dropped of price due to Tesla didn't accept bitcoin as a mood of payment or a way to purchased cars or even if China banned the transactions of cryptocurrency in their country. This is really affect the bitcoin market price but it can't vanish the worth of bitcoin in crypto space today.
I don't really care about the news that might affect bitcoin's decline, because I believe after that bad news there will be good news in the future, and indeed things like that always happen in this industry.
So I am very optimistic that the recovery or rise in bitcoin price will happen again, be patient and hold on tight.
