Yes this is theory, i am very rational but i remember very well that fall.
The bitcoin train can make you crazy. When it climbs and every morning you wake up thinking you made more sleeping than in one month working. And then it falls even faster. a falling price is an opportunity but you need balls of steel.
You need very strong ruleset and you need to know why you have those rules. After that i never sold more than 0.2%/month.
But then again my plan could have worked, this day i just played and lost
I feel like if you made some profit you should be happy because it is some kind of game and everybody doesn't win.

I sold most at 80€ and it never went back so low after i did it.
It was a dump, i had full faith in bitcoin ( still have) but after you see the price divided by 2 a couple of time, you think, it would be pretty easy to double your stash.
about 700btc.
Greed sometimes is terrible, I doubt i'll ever make that kind of money in my lifetime but strangely i do not feel so bad about it.
It's just like gambling, after a while you realize that you never really owned that money in the first place so you forget about it after a while. If price goes down NEVER COMPLETELY SELL. I usually sell a little bit (.05-.1) and see where price goes after it goes down. Usually price recovers and I make a little bit more money afterwards.

It's their fault for believing all of the FUD around here. I take everything with a grain of salt here and you should as well. Best to just hold on and ride the Bitcoin rollercoaster no matter what happens; it's pretty much failproof. I've done it for a long time now, not only on BTC but Monero and Dash.
i certainly would not have sold in the 800s but i also don't believe it's impossible it'll return there. either way i wouldn't have the patience to wait. the uptrend has been powerful for a long time. in one way that's very reassuring but also nothing lasts forever.
OP, you're asking how the $800 sellers feel. Far better than $150 sellers, who dumped in January 2015 
Well, I sold several dozen btcs in that time to bridge the hole in my funds and get a new car. I am not sorry though, it's a nice machine I enjoy driving every day.
Oh, and I'm still keeping the majority of my coins
I did, but that wasn't the recent drop that we have had but that was a month or so ago when I sold 3 btc for $890 to get some profits from the coins I bought from $300 during 2014-2015. Right now, fork is still inevitable and BU is losing traction. On a positive note, we are heading the greens because of BUtards failed plan to take control.
I knew Bitcoin was not going any lower than $800 when the forkcoin fears were hovering around. Now Jihan Wu is hated by the entire community except the couple paid shills. Looks like UASF is closer than ever and this is translating into a healthy price.
I have been in the forum for 2 years and more. Personally I have sold my campaign earnings and trading earnings when it was 400$ around also. I knew that price will reach big value in future. However, the situation makes me drill to sell the coins when indeed times.
If we complete that price to present value, feeling that I lost the money worth more than 10 BTCs.
i feel sorry for those who sold at ~$900(recently). i think we're headed towards a new ath?
What did we learn gentlemen? Never sell your bitcoins. Of course we don't.
If we don't sell and hold forever when are we going to profit? The real value of any money, bitcoin included, is in the goods that you can buy. Years ago you could buy a pizza, now you can throw a pizza+beer party for 100 people. Selling might not sound good but spending does!

I never think of solding my coins back when the price hits that level. First of all, my own way is; if there's a certain level that I missed to a point that it's totally a profit decrease for up to 50-100% then I will not touch those coins and just expect that price will hit again the same level it was before. That was the risk in my way. But to cover that, I must take advantage of the price decrease and embrace the FUD.
And look, the output is good. Just because the recent FUD are having a strong impact in the whole bitcoin system it doesn't mean that it can totally pullout some of the funds injected at Bitcoin.
Well. This is part of the bitcoin drama session as we go along this journey.
Price goes down and up.
People who truly belieive in bitcoins don't and won't sell before years from now.
But people who are just stopping by (like me) to earn and sell do regret it but partially though as I can't stand the pressure of price.
It depends.

bitcoin price this now is uptrend is not strugle and bad issue
example about jihan wu with bitcoin unlimited , i think is very dificult bitcoin price down under 800 dollar, and bitcoin unlimited issue is end
i think bitcoin unlimited issue only playing bitcoin price can get buy low price, and selling again in high price

It's always so because it's so easy to spread the panic. People start to fear they will lose a lot and with some unconfirmed informations you can make this fear even biger and make them sell. Some experienced users can resist to such influence and keep their head cool and rational but over and over again every price dump shows how easy it's to manipulate with people.
It's always like this -- panic dumps allow coins to flow into stronger hands, and thus it's in favor of the market. Those that sold in panic will either buy back their coins at premium prices, or they will just sit back and look at how the market increases further. It has been like this when the price was hovering around the $500 level, and it's still the case today.

There is no oneto blame on their action but themselves. If those people who sold at sub $900 it only means they do not have faith in Bitcoin. Do not blame anyone, no one force them to sell their precious BTC it is to their own accord. I am sure they are regreting their decision, but they can always buy back Bitcoin anytime.
Exactly. I mean because of the FUD spreading like wildfire here everyday, there's no one to blame but themselves. Not using their better judgement and just listening to what have been suggested by other people. Of course they are regretting their decision, and probably banging their head against the wall. But they already made their decision. I hope they learnt their lesson very well and not just listening to any rumors going around.
What did we learn gentlemen? Never sell your bitcoins. Of course we don't.
Blaming isn't gonna help what is lost, and I think out of fear in not getting something is what assumed fueled they in doing it, and I have some issues in doing the wrong thing too a little movement then I feared that my BTC would be gone, hey we are fearful that we can lost something instead of gaining I think that is the nature of all of us here no one is safe!

As much as I would like to end this scaling drama once and for all (at least for now) I don't think that UASF is the right way to go.USAF is too risky, it is basically a blind hope and expectation that miners would follow business and community, and what if they don't?
They have no obligation to do that.
