I have told this countless times. It is a bad move to dump your coins when the market is in a vulnerable state. It is not a smart decision and it will just show how restless you are. Always be patient and wait for the values to rise because they will for sure after a period of time. So HODL all the way and never give up.
You sure about that? Was it not smart to sell when it dumped from 20k to 15k? Holding forever is the best way to lose 90% of your money, looking at the price tank everyday can't be healthy mentally, unless you can afford it. I would not hold cryptos for more than a few weeks, months at most.
You both are right in fact. Indeed, when the price is high and you haven't yet lost too much or stay in the green territory yet, it makes perfect sense to close your position as fast as possible (when the prices start to crash), even if it means losing something. But if you already lost like 90% of your investment, closing your position under these circumstances doesn't make sense unless you urgently need money. Losing the rest would not be a big deal anyway already, but if you choose to sell, there is no way back, no matter how you look at it.
Well, you should never allow your investment to lose 90% of its value. People always say, don't sell, it will eventually comeback but the crypto does not "know" what you paid, nor does it care. If the market enters a big downtrend like this one, it would be a good idea to sell even at 90% loss. You shouldn't judge the moment to sell or buy by the amount of money lost or won, you should judge it by how the market is acting.
Trends tend to persist, last time it was a few years, imagine a few years of downtrend right now, it could go to 1k, who knows.
I see your point but I still disagree that you should necessarily sell when your investments have already lost most of their value. Of course, you should have sold a way earlier than now but this is another question. But if we are talking about major currencies like BTC, ETH, LTC, etc, it is unlikely that they are going to kick the bucket any time soon. So what's the point of selling them right now when it may in fact be worth considering to buy even more (just kidding)?
As an aside, even if you had bought bitcoins at 20k, you would have lost only like 70% of your invested capital by now. Losing 90% would mean prices around 2k. Do you still think it would make sense selling bitcoins at prices this low?
