You can recover it by invest in bitcoin when its price start to rise. Just hold it for long term. Maybe you need to hold it for 4-5 years. Actually there are many ways beside invest in cryptocurrency. You can buy property then rent it. I think it can give better profit, but you need big capital and knowledge to do it. If you still brave to take more risk then invest in ICO will be good as long as you choose good ICO project to invest.
That's a very bad idea, he knew that he bought shitcoin and the price fell and made him lose 90%. what do you expect from shitcoin which has a price that falls to almost worthless? there is no choice but to sell it and try to be more selective in choosing coins, don't buy when the price is high dude, buy it when the price is in dip

Diversify your holdings so you aren't relying on a single coin to 'moon'.

You could also consider using the services of a 'pro' trading service. For example cryptocom has a crypto invest feature that takes your initial deposit of BTC or ETH and puts it into other crypto depending on your risk apetite.

Otherwise just start small and try to accumulate, and avoid taking too many big risks.

There is a way that exists and is to make trading in scalping, is a very risky way, but if you have security according to the movimeintos and if you do not let liquidate in the right Exchange you can go recovering little by little, it is not that it is the most quick, you can suffer some loss but it is very likely that you will recover.

I always execute this idea in Bitmex, since I place my orders when the market is in a strong movement, whenever a strong movement occurs it is good to check what is most likely to happen, because it is the easiest way I have found to make money , not much but starting to recover.

You have to be careful with the leverage, because scalping trading usually do so with leverage at x25 so that the risk is not as exaggerated as that of x100, since those who leverage are therefore the most likely to liquidate their positions.

Personally I would start with converting the shitcoins to Bitcoin, you would need a 10x to break even so about 50k Bitcoin (which will happen if Bitcoin succeeds), I would personally also dollar cost average in to lower your break even point. None of this is financial advice but if you believe in Bitcoin this will help recuperate your losses.

This is simply a nice advise and to say is coming from a newbie is worthy to commend. If I have such advise on a losing portfolio, I think I would like to convert too to bitcoin because bitcoin is the most trusted coin.

How about using the remaining 10% of my funds to another Altcoin which is kinda have potential? What can you recommend on an altcoin which is worth investing the remaining 10%?

Listing your portfolio would be a better way to start things rather than starting a vague topic, there are thousands of coins in the market and if you are not willing to reveal in which coins you have invested, it is really hard to give any advice, if you have invested in shit projects there is a possibility that you wont be able to recover those losses at all and all the shit projects shut their doors when the market went down due to funding issues and there might not be any revival.

Learning from your mistakes is a lesson. It seems like you have identified the major factors, buying a rally and buying alts.
You mentioned a "portfolio" I would argue that diversifying in the crypto space is mostly folly. Consider this. If cryptocurrency is still around and growing in 20 years then it is highly likely that Bitcoin will still have value and perhaps the highest value, like now. If bitcoin is not here in 20 years then it is unlikely any open-source, peer-to-peer, blockchain currency will exist. The alts are based on the same technology and do not offer any real market diversity. So in my opinion it is better to buy the gold standards in completely different markets. Buy bitcoin cryptocurrency, buy gold metal, buy productive land, buy AAA stocks.

As far as buying into a rally... That is okay if you are looking at a longer term investment and you believe in the future of your investment. If you are trying to play the volatility as a day trader then you are in a brutal market where tomorrows price doesn't matter anyway. Alts tend to not have a future beyond tomorrow. 


Cheers!

no other than holding mate. Which is basic and the only common strategy also of some people to survive despite of  the scenario . It's useful actually but must have patience to avoid further losses , and always control your emotions ,stop panicking! in fact all of this thing is only temporary so just relax and keep holding for a while. 

The problem is they bought shitcoins. Shitcoins are called such because more often than not they end up without value or you have to wait years before you can break even. Being down 90 percent can be depressing enough if you're holding bitcoin, ethereum or other legitimate alts but being down that much with worthless tokens is a lot worse. Charge it to experience dude and make sure to learn from it.

If you invested into a failed project or shitcoin there's nothing you can do about it but to accept your mistake and move on, maybe it's just a valuable or expensive lesson you can take, the most important here thing to do here to avoid this is to study how the project works and check every single thing and what's the application of the project to a problem and how do they solve it.

Almost 10 percent only left that your friend have when the market down but Im pretty much sure if they hold their coins until this year those percentage is about losing of 90 percent is only now 70% percent lower I think and it is good start but if they sold their coin their money will not come back again for sure unless they invesy more to the cryptocurrency they have chance for him to recover his lose.

That absolutely cant be helped since you loss almost all your investments. Better dump the shitcoins you are holding and buy a new and trust ones. Start again from the bottom and recover your loss through a better rounds again this time. Now that the price is cheap, you can still correct your mistakes. Buy and hold until your mind is stable then proceed to trading after.
This should have been your first priority-evaluation of the project of the coin or token you want to invest in-and had you done that, you would have not suffered 90% loss. Right now, it is the best time to speculate in any good coin you like. Try to focus on the top coins in the market. Bitcoin is one of the best spot for investment these days and you should not really miss out.
Yeah because the loss of 90% is a very big loss, actually I very rarely experience losses of that size, you have to evaluate what you lack, you have to be smarter in choosing projects or coins, and immediately do cutlose if you don't think there are any the potential price of the coins you buy to go back up, it will avoid you at a big loss

If there are altcoins that you have bought that are not profitable , I will advise you to exchange them for bitcoin. After you might have exchanged them for Bitcoin you can start to worry about how to recover from the 90%. Buh damn that’s a big loss you had, were you asleep when this occurred? Or you were trading all and forgot to setup a stop loss? I can’t really take such a risk. You can start trading daily to recover those losses.

This condition has ever happened to my life and what I have done is, just trading more and not to add more capital until I know how exactly how to recover. The only strategy is to learn anything even just a bit. You should easily recover your funds just by trading as the market is still in a weak form (in my opinion), where anyone can easily take a huge returns from their information.

Usually, shitcoins has very little to no value, so I guess it will be better to just leave those shitcoins in your portfolio if it doest really give you any good value for the mean time in return to buy another one. Who knows that very slim chance for those shitcoin to pump, it might happen in the future lol. Anyway, I have to agree that the OP should start from the bottom again, and make sure to purchase good coin and token this time.

If those shitcoin still have values the best thing to do is to start converting them to coin like ethereum and litecoin that still have hope of rising in a long run.  I do believe that if litecoin grow in three to four years to come to around $5000 there is no way you will not recover your loses.  It is a pity that you were not informed and you buy those shitcoin at the wrong time.  You just need to spend time to learn how this cryptocurrencies market work and buy when it is very low and sell when it is high and not the other way.
agree with you. I did just that. sold low-capitalized cryptocurrencies and bought coins from the top - 10. Because most altcoins cannot sustain a long-term downtrend and simply go bankrupt.

Didnt you see thru all of that before it even become a shitcoin?

You cannot recover from it.
There is nothing you could do about it. Let it go.
Start a new one.
Forget that you lose that much and start over again thinking about new profits too.
Make it as a lesson for your team and try to create a conclusion out of it what are do's and dont's.

It happens. Shit happens. It is not just you who experienced that kind of bitterness.

There's nothing we can't do about it, shitcoins are a pain in the ass and should be sold while there is a market for this, but if you have a coin that just suffering from a bear market, then you can hold it and extend your patience not to sell it and wait for the right time you can recover all your losses, you can never put a good coin down as long as developers are serious in developing their platform.

That would be a good solution if the price were not going down too deep.
But if he holds from one or two years ago and that coin cannot increase for a long time, then it will be difficult to sell right now because he only gets a big loss than he can imagine.
It is advisable to sell all of the coins right now because he is too late to sell and there is no other way except to waiting for the time to change into the bull market so he can start to sell his coins.

If I were you, the first thing I would do is study how to trade like a professional. If you succeed in this, get rid of your smallest bags which looks dead (no dev, abandoned, etc). Sell them for BTC. Use this BTC to trade.

The most promising ones you keep for the next three years, you never know. You can also try to increase the size of these bags by trading them.
It is bad to hear about your loss but this is uncertain market and you can win and loose anytime. I think you guys will get your value recovered. Not all altcoin are bad, I assume you have ETH and maybe Litecoin and if you see the list for the best coins in the market, they are there. My strategy with Bitcoin when I loose value is I HODL until I reach back my initial value of investment and start gaining. I would have suggested you the same strategy had you had Bitcoin.
recover is a mandatory thing for all traders to do if they lose. but you need a special strategy and introspection first, before trying to recover. you have to know why you can lose that much, and other tips don't be too stressed that you have to recover as soon as possible, just do trading as usual, don't make it too excessive
Its not really mandatory yet it would be suggested to take it slowly when it comes to recovering your loss because if you do stress out yourself too much then it would rather result to more further loss.

Losing is inevitable and going deeply on 90% loss is really very stressful if you are a trader or investor. Finding ways to recover wont really be that easy along the way.

I will be hard for someone to recover from that loss, I think you should patiently do trading because it will really took time for you to recover your loss specially if you had a small capital, one thing you can do is to gamble it but it is risky, you might lose your 100% to it.

If you bought shitcoins and you knew they are shitcoins, you're doomed, its meant to be dumped. There are thousands of these at presents, but are claiming to be profitable to hold and are shilled by its holders. I have been checking my tokens for months which of them are and will find which DEX its listed and will sell then for whatever its prices is. Whenever I read news on their telegram channel and people says its scam, it could really be true.

Identifying mistakes from previous actions that you've done will give you good insight what to do next, you said you have shitcoins inside your wallets so if I were you, I'll begin to work with that, shitcoins while still have some value needs to be sold, then use the money to divert your investment to another coin/s that have potential growth, start investigating and studying those coins around top 50 alts and select which are the best coins to hold, the expected bull will help you to recover as long as you have patience to wait.

If you are holding the shit coins yet then better convert it into some of recognized cryptos like ethereum or bitcoin and then just wait for the bull run to hit your coin and star reap your profits at the right time.

The best is to keep that portfolio aside till the bull run comes and start investing in newer projects that have very good products, at least by now, I am sure that you would have leant from the mistakes you made in your investment that led you to accumulating much of those shitcoins.

Those shitcoins will still come back to life during the altcoins season, but I may not promise that you will see profit then, but I can guarantee that you will be able to get your capital out, which you can then use to invest in bitcoin, but we still have a long way to go in this. So pending that time, buy new good coins and trade with it.

With 90% down on your portfolio, there isn't much you can do except pray and hope (that's if you're the praying type) that it turns bull again. You have really cut deep into your capital without any MM (Money Management) in place. This is a bad trading strategy. In fact, it's not a strategy at all. And to say those coins are shitcoins, only the worst can happen right now because shitcoins hardly recover from a crash.
That percentage amount of your loss in your portfolio might you didn't monitor your all coins movement that is a quite huge amount of loss. Because if you know which coin that you think to become shitcoin you can quickly divert it into bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies which is potentially grown and surely you can earn a profit, isn't it right?
If you feel that one of your holding coins was going down you can divert it into a good coin which is good to trade. Here is some tip of minimizing loss while holding your bitcoin on the exchange, when bitcoin is going down you divert to USDT which is stable but you can still monitor on it.

what your are feeling as same at people who begin investment of cryptocurrency, for i know some people just relax for this situation, do sporting, party and playing as ussuall. they don't thingking what did investment a year. let's go to party man
Partying sounds a lot unprofessional. Peoples who have time for partying have very less time for their financial career. No matter what the situation turns, you should never forget why you are here. You are here to have some good profits and not just to buy some shitcoins and concentrate on partying. The investments you make will make you rich tomorrow so you really have to think twice before you invest into any coin.

A perfect investment can lead you have immense profits ahead. Starting early investments is also a good sign of profitable future. The only strategy to get out from this would be to buy some stable coins and wait for them to pump so that you can sell on peak by keeping a stop-loss to avoid unnecessary loss.

Are the shitcoins you invested into dead already? Compare their volume and daily trading limits and you can even now have some faith from those shitcoins if they are not yet dead tokens. HODL no matter what the situation becomes and once the price for the coin goes below your stop-loss than there is nothing rather then to sell those coins at a loss of hold them if you have any faith in them.

Be patient and never panic sell. If you want to yet cover your losses then you should invest in some of the major altcoins who can show us good growth ahead in these coming bull markets. Bitcoins is the first preference as we can surely see good price for bitcoins ahead as the markets start rising.

Do you guys recommend to just invest in the top 10-20 coins?
It's still risky to invest in top 10-20. Consider also your risk:reward ration on that. There's still possibility that those top 10-20 coins will be dead in the future just what happened few years ago, look who's the top 10 to 20 before, where are they now?

In my opinion, the best way to recover when you are 90% down is to do fresh investment, as the price of the most cryptos are down, so if you invest now then it would be easy for you to recover your funds when the market goes in bull trend.

Restart your portfolio and try to never did the same mistake again.

Shitcoins will never rise again. Therefore no sense of waiting it to become bloom again. They are basically dead projects now.

Move on and accept all the losses you have made.

Shitcoins will never rise: they are always created for a pump/dump stuff. It is better to invest in Bitcoin and the altcoins, which are in the top-20. I trust DASH, Litecoin, Monero.

Thank you for your recommendation. I am closely monitoring BNB, what do you think on this?

Yes. Obviously, these are the coins that a novice trader can hope for. All coins that are lower can carry big risks. If there was one loss in the sale, you may need to draw big conclusions for yourself. You need to understand your mistakes and be very careful.

Feeling sad that you have losed fund on trading. I don't know about your trading strategy. But I am suspecting that you have made few mistakes. Like you have jump each coin to another coin and that was almost shitcoin. First thing is you need to select a better exchange who will not add much shitcoin. It's possible to recover by trading with proper way and need enough patience. First you should use stop loss, so your loss will be minimized. If you like to jump another coin then obviously choose a potential coin which will likely up trend. Don't make multiple decisions and don't be confused. Do whatever you want with confident. There is few guidelines about trading on this board just try to search and learn more.

Hey guys, my friends and I were down 90% of our crypto portfolio. We bought at the highs and we bought shitcoins. Now we are still down significantly and i just want to ask if you guys have strategy to recover from this? Cheers!

If I were you, the first thing I would do is study how to trade like a professional. If you succeed in this, get rid of your smallest bags which looks dead (no dev, abandoned, etc). Sell them for BTC. Use this BTC to trade.

The most promising ones you keep for the next three years, you never know. You can also try to increase the size of these bags by trading them.
It is bad to hear about your loss but this is uncertain market and you can win and loose anytime. I think you guys will get your value recovered. Not all altcoin are bad, I assume you have ETH and maybe Litecoin and if you see the list for the best coins in the market, they are there. My strategy with Bitcoin when I loose value is I HODL until I reach back my initial value of investment and start gaining. I would have suggested you the same strategy had you had Bitcoin.

To recover 90% loss you must get 900% profit and it just to make your portfolio back. Now think about this, is there any coin out there that can give you 900% profit? If not, then just cut your loss and move on.

This will be difficult because you and your friends hold shitcoins. If I were you, I would sell all of those shitcoins, no matter what the valueis, and move them to bitcoin. Of course, it won't recover your previous losses instantly but at least you are safe enough with bitcoin as your investment tool instead of shitcoins that will give you more losses if you keep holding it.

Do you see potential and progress on the coins that you hold? if yes then just hold it until some good news happens them because either way you are at loss now  if you sell your potential altcoins to bitcoin right now then you lose. If all your altcoins are shitcoin just sell it already and buy some top 10 in cmc, the market is in a good condition right now and you might have the better chance to recover from it.

Listen OP. You had some money and instead of buying one or two good cars you bought 10 pieces of scrap metal formed in the shape of cars. You didn't notice it or ignored it and started driving around until most of your scrap cars broke down and you're asking us to help you turn them back into the money you had paid for them. Is this a joke?

If you still have a chance then sell those shitcoins for ETH or any other stable coin when the market is stable or if there are losses still going on I think that way will ensure you maintain a stable asset to avoid to much lost in your part

Learn how to hold that coin and do trading, you can’t just sell it and suffer from a big mistake. Just forget it for now, do learn how to trade or even how to join signature campaign and you can easily get back the money. When the market recovers, you can have profit on your investment.

I have only been able to recover from a loss of such magnitude in the Forex market, but in the crypto market it seems to me practically impossible because in the process of fall-recovery, many of the cryptos in which we invest our capital will die on the way or they will become failed projects, so it will be impossible to recover even a fraction of our investment, so I think you should feel satisfied if you are able to recover at least some of the lost to continue buying bitcoin and ether.

Since you told us that they are shitcoins, better to accept the fact that you won't recover it by just keeping or holding it and wait until it come back it its ATH. Better to just sell it and invest it into legit coins such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

You are so sure that you are holding shit coins so no recovering from that. Salvage that 10% remaining and start a new portfolio. You will need new capital.  You need to start working if you do not have new capital to reboot your portfolio. This time invest wisely. Choose only solid crypto in terms of fundamentals and development. The market is still down, so if you invest now,there is a lot of profit waiting.

Buy coins and tokens with small capitalization and place orders 50-70 % higher than the purchase rate.Naturally, before buying you need to explore the graphics to buy only at a low rate. I also advise you to buy these tokens only on major exchanges,such as Bittrex. Be sure to buy several of these tokens, not one.

Bitcoin fell 85% (from $20K to $3K), Ethereum went down by 90%. But see here we are, still believing in cryptocurrencies and surviving. If it was any other class of security, say stock or asset, I would straight away tell you to sell for whatever you can recover but cryptocurrencies are different. They are more volatile, low capped and have potential to recover even 99% of fall. However, not all coins are same, you yourself mentioned that you bought shitcoins. On what premises are you declaring them shitcoins? Low volume, no update, no news? If you think they are now stagnant and cannot turn green at all then sell them right away don't wait more. But if they are high volume coins and are currently down (like WAVES) then it's better to wait and hold. When general bullish trend comes, every high capped cryptocurrency blossoms!

Recovery?

Don't rush thing up because you will end up on selling all of those shitcoins you do hold.If I were you I would just simply hold those coins and
forget for sometime and instead on minding or stressing yourself out on how to get out of negative then better to find out alternatives on how

The moment it became 50% , 60%, 70%, 80% etc. you should already plan or know what to do.

It's normal to have a 90% loss on some of the average traders. At some of the cases, since they already allow it to went below on that level, they will just continue to HODL and expect for ris.  While doing that, they acquiring more. But that is only applicable to those coins that is worth to put a risks.

You are asking a strategy with your current shitcoins? Considered that as loss already as no way you can recovered from that. They will not be called shit if their development still continues by now.

Restart your portfolio and try to never did the same mistake again.

Shitcoins will never rise again. Therefore no sense of waiting it to become bloom again. They are basically dead projects now.

If the market down for 90 percent then better to wait for a long time until the market recovers market downtime is temporary but recovery depends on market positive news so we need to hodl with patience
You just read carefully in that guy expectation. Already they maintain it was a shitcoin so surely it will never move to same range again. Most of the investors are invest in top or good growing cryptocurrency so these kind of investment is hold for longterm. But if they sell soon 10 percentage is safe or better move to some other good cryptocurrency is the right way.

I don't know what to say but I know what you're feeling right now. Close to wiping out your entire portfolio is a severe, I don't have such strategies for recovering. If you still have those altcoins and much better if you had bitcoin there, you should keep on holding it. I'm expecting that you are still holding it and never sold any amount because of the panic that it created. The best thing that you can do is to go all in with bitcoin with that kind percentage of loss.

I don’t even know if it makes sense now to convert your shitcoins to bitkion or other promising coins from the TOP-20 or not. Theoretically, we are now somewhere at the bottom and are just trying to push off from it, and if the market starts to grow, then it is likely that shitcoins will grow faster than Bitcoin and other altcoins of their TOP-20. In any case, it was so before. So maybe you should just wait a bit, because by and large you have practically nothing to lose. If with the growth of bitcoin you notice that your shitcoins do not rise in price in relation to bitcoin, then you can safely change them to bitcoin.

Hey guys, my friends and I were down 90% of our crypto portfolio.

This is a big loss.

We bought at the highs and we bought shitcoins.

You need to tell us what these chitcoins you bought. I'll give you an example of some altcoins that in my opinion in past have high prices in relation to bitcoin and they fell and that I think they never had the same high prices again.

LISK, had a high price of 0.003 BTC and I believe we will not see this price anymore

STRATS, had a high price of 0.0041 BTC and I believe we will not see this price anymore

There are many altcoins that are not worth to just hold for a long time because today there is a lot of competition and people are going on new projects that have more advantages.

you must sell all your altcoins and buy bitcoin and hold for 1 or 2 years, at least you will reduce your losses

Secondly, the only way to recover your lost on the shitcoins is just by doing some other investments on other better coins. Surely, you need more money to do it, but if you have no more money to invest then I have no ideas what you should do to recover your lost except keep holding the shitcoins in a hope that the price will go up in the near future.

It depends on the shitcoin that he invests. Some of "so-called shitcoin" have the potential to increase valuation over a period of time. I will give some example. Hiveterminal($HVN) They are down now from there all time high due to many reason. But take note that during there all-time high, They don't have any product and just a whitepaper. And now they have a working product and slowly acquiring user to use the platform. So who knows what price they can reach now on next bull run.

Conclusion: You will never on loss unless you sold.  Wink

It depends on the coin you bought because if you think that your coins are not the right coins, then you need a long time to see your portfolio will increase again.
There is no other way except waiting for each coin you have to get back to the higher price, and you cannot do anything.
It is hard, and I know that because I am in the same position as you and I still wait for more. I am sure that other people will do the same.
But if you have another money, then maybe you can try to buy more the coin so you can get a lower price in the buy order.

Shitcoins are dead trap that lead to nowhere but sighs and stupid regret. I got rekted by a shitcoin, nevertheless because of the team behind the project, I converted a major part of the 90% loss to bitcoin and I would buy some good altcoins that had up coming events, once the events were very close, I sold off and make some profit, and return back to the shitcoin and traded to take some profit at every pump. This is not a easy task and FOMO was at its high pick. I don't follow shit coins again. And we all should do the same by dishing shitty projects.

I guess if you bought your shitcoins at the highs then you are not smart enough to return those lost 90%. You literally have to make x10 just to get your money back. Just sell what you have, cry a bit and live your life.
Still want to get your money back? Okay, open CMC and watch gainers and loosers chart. You will see 30 shitcoins and most of them hardly got their 15% growth for the last day. And this is only 30 shitcoins out of 2k listed. Guess your chance to picksome decent shitcoins that would keep growing.

In my view I think first convert your remaining crypto of shitcoins into bitcoin and hold the good projects even it is 90% down then we have to wait for the bottom of good projects so  that we can invest in it but remember don't invest whole assets in one project.

you now have two options:
1. you saw that you can not be successful in this market so you leave and don't come back to save yourself the trouble.

2. you saw you weren't successful but you still want to keep trying and become successful so you continue taking the risks. in this case, however, you should first start by analyzing things you did so far that led to your 90% loss. and then see what were the things you did wrong so that you can avoid them in the future. do that your success rat will start increasing slowly.
for example a big mistake that most people made was to listen to what altcoins others were suggesting then to buy and bag hold!

If I had to recover from a portfolio that was down 90%, I'll be honest, I would probably sell off the assets that I retained (especially if they're shitcoins) and start all over with a fresh set of assets. I don't think there's a good recommendation for recovering from such a substantial drop aside from having another go at investing with a new and separate portfolio if that's what you want to do. There might be a better way of recovering those losses, which don't involve investments in altcoins again, but it's completely up to you as to what you want to do.

The only potential thing I can see to reliably recover such a significant portfolio loss would be starting your own business in crypto, but that may require a lot of skills which are not necessarily common or skills that you even have to begin with, and there's a chance the business might flat-out fail. There won't be a way to recover it without mitigating the risk present in altcoins, which might very well wipe out your remaining portfolio value. I don't know how you'll dig yourself out of this hole, to be honest. Best of luck.

it is very simple, stop calling what is NOT a portfolio, a portfolio.

when you fill your bags with nonsense altcoins, you are not creating a portfolio. you are instead creating a higher risk bag that is guaranteed to lead you into bigger losses compared to if you only had bitcoin alone.
a real portfolio is when you diversify into different financial assets such as as stocks, bonds, gold and bitcoin. not when you have bitcoin and buy altcoins to "diversify".
it has been proven that whenever bitcoin rises or falls, the altcoins fall hard so when you bag hold them you are not only reducing the profit you may gain you are also increasing the chances of losing a lot of money. hence your 90% loss.

Personally I would start with converting the shitcoins to Bitcoin, you would need a 10x to break even so about 50k Bitcoin (which will happen if Bitcoin succeeds), I would personally also dollar cost average in to lower your break even point. None of this is financial advice but if you believe in Bitcoin this will help recuperate your losses.
