Man what a rough time. I've been holding on to GAME for months, and steadily increasing my investment. About a week ago, when the price spiked to 12k, I sold with the intention of buying back when it dipped back down to 9k satoshi.
Obviously, it never dipped back down. Sucks because this is one of the few coins I actually was bullish on. Oh well, hoping I will be able to buy back in at some point.
What if you wake up the next morning at 50k price - would you regret not buying back today?
EDIT: If you've been holding it for months and sold it at 12k, you're already in nice profit. Not much of a comfort but i've paid that lesson many times.
I bought it in April. I achieved some profit but not too significant of a %. I'm actually newer to altcoin investing, and GAME was one of the first coins I invested in. Looking back, it was obvious I bought in initially at the wrong time (at around 11k satoshi during the spike), but hindsight is 20/20. I think if I went back with the knowledge I had now I would have waited for the spike to correct itself and bought lower. If I wasn't a bagholder for much of the span I probably wouldn't have been so eager to sell. Oh well, what are you going to do?
I'd say there is trading and then there is investing. Most people trade alts - its 99% speculation. But 1% of the time people actually look at an alt as an long term investment. If you think GAME has that potential then its still incredibly cheap right now. If you are just trading for quick profits, then that's an entirely different animal.
I have been in the crypto scene for a long time and am a trader most of the time. However, with GAME I am a long term investor. My target is >$1-$2 in the next 6-12 months (or sooner if we enter a speculative bubble) and more in the $10 range based on the market caps of other top alts.
But I would say GAME has the largest % of community members that are using it as a long term investment that I have ever seen in crypto. Bitcoin has a high % of long term investors, as does Monero and DASH. But GAME is at the top of them all from my experience.
That is not to say you or anyone else should have that same mentality. But it is important to differentiate between trading and investing.
