This message is from South Korea. A few month ago, I was interested in Bitcoin and I searched and googled cryptocurrency. It was amazing and surprised. After that, I got to know lots of cryptocurrency coins. I thought that cryptocucurrency will be the center of the 4th industrial revolution. As time goes by, value of cryptocurrency has increased. I started invest in value of bitcoin, Ethereum and some altcoins. However, as I purchased coins, coin markets are down likes ski slope. In Korea, a lot of people purchased cryptocurrency on speculation. I was so sick of speculation. However, cryptocurrency was a hope and light of the middle class. Some people made a lot of money. Cryptocurrency speculation was overheated in Korea. Compare with cryptocurrency world market, Korea market is very higher. We called it Kimchi premium(korean market coins are 30% higher than world market). However, if someone makes money, someone must lose. I heard that only top 1% control cryptocurrency market. It was so sad. If it is true, the value of cryptocurrency was not fair as new currency. I invested in bitcoin, ethereum, etc for their value and future. However, because of overheated market, I also became a speculator. I had invested in all the mountains such as money for marriage, house and parents' money. After, I lose everything, I regret and figure out that how I was stupid. Still a lot of people believe that cryptocurrency will make people rich. People believes that high risk makes high return. It migh be true. I hope that people should invest in value of cryptocurrency not for money. I want cryptocurrency help change people's mind. And someday, I hope bitcoin, ethereum and altcoins are settle in world currency. Also, please don't make same mistake just like me.
Please advice me and help me that how can I recover some money?
Thanks for reading and please advice me.
How exactly did you lose your money? Did you sell your coins at a loss? Neither Bitcoin nor Ethereum has crashed to nothing, and they're certainly still much better off than they were a year ago. What you have to remember is that you haven't lost a dime until you sell at a loss. I believe the price will rebound, but that's just me, and I'm financially secure either way.
The lesson to be had here is that you should only invest what you can afford to lose. Cryptocurrency is driven by speculation, so you're basically gambling. No one should be gambling their life savings or other people's money away.
As for the advice part, if you still have your coins, HODL, and sell once you break even or get a small profit. The entire market is down, but it's bound to rebound eventually. If you have already sold at massive losses, the best advice I can probably give you is to stay away; you obviously aren't cut out for this.
