Topic: I lost $50,000 in Bitcoin crash, but I’m still a believer (Read 1288 times)
me too lost shit load of $ from not buying load shit of it when it was $2
Bitcoins will go back up no worries!
Wonder if we'll see his smiling face again when he's a millionaire (at least on paper), interesting also to note that BTC was created by an " anonymous hacker".
you don't lose money (50K) from an initial investment of 4K. It is an attention grabbing headline which is false.
He didn't really lose $50,000 because he never invested that amount, he invested a much lower amount. He potentially lost $50,000 because he didn't cash out in time..
Super instructive. Thanks for posting.
I call BS. If he never had the $50,000 in his hands then he didn't lose it. He lost the fiat/on paper value, but that's arbitrary. This article reads more like a shill to pump up BitCoin.
The only thing he lost was the possibility of cashing out²

I'd be happy to be your bitcoin accountant - for a small fee of course 
Did he lose any bitcoin? He invested 4000$ and with today's price he is still profiting, he lost nothing! And anyway price is already increasing, route for over 266 engaged

He invested $4000 into btc since last year and is still holding. I don't see how has he lost $50k? Looks like an attention grabbing headline to sell his data recovery service.

Here goes the story: He has put $4000 in BTC , now his investment is worth $20000 and he claims loosing $50000.
Well...Right...
IMHO doing maths is not his forte.
These days this is really like stock exchange - value is not backed by gold or anything, price is regulated by supply and demand. The amount of available BTCs increases by a rules set in stone, but other factors, like popularity, economy, Cyprus which all influence the exchange rates. Currently it is somewhat to gambling IMHO.
One basic rule is: if buying, only invest the amount you are comfortable with loosing.

That is a sound rule. Can be applied to anything really!

I can see a lot of Wall Street mentality here. Big money (to me, anyway) being discussed as casually as having your morning coffee....
just had a friend that bought over 12K USD @ 240ish...he's bummed...but at least said he doesn't lose a dime til he sells...think he'll be just fine
