Livecasino, 20% cashback, no fuss payouts.
ALL of them, unfortunately. I guess the worst for me at the moment is WAVES, since I bought a 3 digit figure at 95k satoshi, thinking it was an amazing deal. In fact, within days it had gone to 125k again and I was so pleased with myself. You can imagine my shock this morning seeing that it was exactly 70k. From a 30% potential gain to almost 30% loss in just over a week.

Anyway, I understand the fiat value has not changed too much, but I bought it all in Bitcoin. In total, this week alone, my Bitcoin value of all alts has dropped more than 30%. Heartbreaking, considering how much it costs now.

A small amount of BQX bought @ 0.75 cents.  Will hold until the end of next year and make a decision then if nothing's happened.  Will only sell @ 5X or above.

Everything else I've bought since beginning last month is in the green.  BTC up huge.  ETH just a touch.  NEO 30%. 

Looking good!

The only altcoin I am holding is Burst and I will keep holding no matter how low the price goes. Nothing hurts more than seeing your coin go down in market value. I was tempted to sell but I believe in the Proof of Capacity Consortium's ability to deliver some good for Burst that I have decided to buy more.

What about you, what altcoin are you loyally holding and why?

I'm holding ETH right now because i believe the Ethereum price can back to 0.1btc but it's really sucks right now. ETH price keep going down, especially the bitcoin price keep going up and makes eth price fall and fall again. Don't know why Ethereum price always decrease when bitcoin price increase.

I still hold all my altcoin portfolio (8 coins). It doesn't have sense to sell them now when they are very low. I would be in the minus.
I am sure that better days will come for altcoins. So I just HODL.

Do not die for Putin
that is why Stop-Loss was invented Cheesy

you either use some kind of automation to place stop loss orders or you just do it yourself when you reach your limit. for example if the altcoin you have invested in loses 5% you dump it before it grows bigger. that way you prevent huge losses like 60% that someone mentioned above!

You are quite right. I am not an speculator, I am in for the long term and only buy ALTs that I consider have a viable project and value proposition, but if it goes down 10 or 15% it is not a bad idea to sell and buy later on.

I'm holding quite a few Gridcoin at a loss currently, it isn't that bad, but I'm just going to wait a bit till they get a bit higher again.
The altcoin market in general is looking a lot less attractive than the Bitcoin market at the moment.

I'm probably going to sell most of my altcoins before the fork happens anyway.

To be frankly, almost all of my altcoins that I hold is dropping so hard, and it's mainly because the HF of bitcoin that soon to be coming and the price pump for bitcoin
just like as you said, it's hurt to see the altcoins we hold dropping down, but lets see after HF ended, all altcoin will be pumped again.

I still hold on to my portfolio because those coins I'm holding are there because I believe in the projects, what one should be doing now is to get into project one like and have been watching closely at discount the ICO price.

I'm definitely holding NEO and LSK, those two coins will go straight back up as soon as the bitcoin gold hype is over.

That's absolutely true man. It does feel bad when you see your coin go down but its crypto, if it goes down it means it will rise soon.
I am currently holding DGB which is the most affected by the fork. You can see it has gone down to 170 satoshis which is like a blood bath for it.
I bought it at 500 satoshis thinking it will rise soon but you see what has happened to it now. People are saying it will go lower than 100 satoshis and that's when i am thinking to buy it more. It does have a lot of potential and it can give a good return after the fork.

"It does have a lot of potential and it can give a good return after the fork." I'm really looking forward to this mate, I was expecting DGB to go up to atleast 750 when I bought it. Its heartbreaking to see it go down. I'm thinking of selling it to lessen the loss. But then your post makes me think otherwise. Smiley BTS is also in my portfolio, which like DGB it's also going down, however reviews about it says its the altcoin that has the potential to go up in the future.

For me its Reddcoin and NEO, I bought them when they were really hyped. I don't think I'll get back my investment from REDD so I'm investing more on NEO to bring down my average buying price.

I hold many coins but they are in loss, aragon, bancor, status, stox, and so forth. I am tired of watching daily price, and I want to focus on the value and future of blockchain tech.

Clam is 60% down. Unbelievable! From $12 to $4, within couple of hours, now holding on $5 to $6. But the way it drops, it scares me about alt coin. In future you have to think before you invest. I believe in next few days more alt coin will fall to bottom.

The altcoins I hold, even with loss :
 - XZC : ZCoin
   Why : because it is the best anonyme coin and the market want a anonymous coin
 - LBC : Lbry coin
   Why : because the library project is a very universal project and very helpfull for people all around the world
 - MNM and ARTE : Minereum and Artemine
   Why : because they are the firsts and only coins whit a lot of promising features : self mining, altcoins builders, ICO builders...
