Topic: What is occurring when someone sells 1 BTC at a price lower than he/she bought? (Read 1907 times)

If someone sells his bitcoin for the lower price that he bought then it will be automatically a loss because in your case you will get a loss of $103.25 and that is your fault because you bought and sell for a lower price and if i were i will just put it on trading to recover the loss of my investment and at the same time grow my bitcoins.

What will occur immediately after that kind of loss is normally regret and frustration. If you're dealing with bitcoin, it seldom happens that you'll end up with loss of capital because btc price isn't as unpredictable as other altcoins. When you see the price go down, just wait and eventually it will bounce back

Definitely. I think there will hardly be anyone who will wish to lose his very own money which he invested to earn a good profit. But there can be certain reasons due to which one can sell his BTC in a less rate. Similarly there are chances of occurrence of such scenario but of course the chances are that much.

There is no chemistry in the trading and investment world mate! You just lost ~$103 USD that is what it means. It was not used by anyone it just went to bitcoin market capitalism from where it was coming as people are investing continuously on the blockchain. The enthalpy remains constant if you know it very well. You neither helped anyone as you bought at higher price but someone might have bought it at even more higher rates and list their money into circulation. So you are not sure how much you contributed back, you may or may not. But in simple words you lost your money.

Let's say I buy 1 Bitcoin for $2296.25 USD. I notice that the USD price value of the Bitcoin drops to $2093 USD, and let's say I want the US dollar amount, so I sell the Bitcoin at $2093 USD, whereby 1 BTC is selling for $2093 on the market.

Is that to say that the US dollar supply has deflated and that I am still, nonetheless, close to breaking even (assuming resistance along a network)?

That's the correct interpretation, right?

Because if Bitcoin works to significantly reduce the double-spending problem, then the (2296.25-2093=$103.25) $103.25 USD I "lost" was actually reallocated into society (1st law of thermodynamics). Thus, the ~$103.25 USD was used to benefit society (all of the Universe, socially) as a whole?

Or is that an incorrect interpretation because the "lost" money is allocated into society rather than my profits?

Or is it better to consider the drop in Bitcoin price was actually a reallocation of Bitcoin market cap. profits to society?
--> I guess that's like saying if the Bitcoin price drops, the market cap. was re-allocated into society, correlated with (if but causing) deflation of USD (if but all money), thus giving my $2093 the same (except a little resistance) buying power as the $2296.25 (used to buy the 1 Bitcoin) due to how Bitcoin reduces the double-spending problem: So, it's like I broke even because the amount of USD I obtained from selling the 1 Bitcoin is similar to the buying power of the amount of USD used to buy the 1 Bitcoin in the first place, right?

i think selling your bitcoin with a low prise than you have bought is not a good idea . Even you want to exchange bitcoin into a USD .cause we all knows that bitcoin has a chance to rise even its crashing sometimes.  . If i was you i didn't waste my money for nothing and wait for the time to sell.  So not repent after that.  Who knows? What if after you sell your BTC to USD and you didn't notice that bitcoin suddenly rise in higher value.? Haha so wait for the right time to sell . Best Regards

There is nothing special in it. I have myself incurred quite heavy losses while trading in altcoins. A few months back, I purchased Litecoin for BTC0.0092 and sold them for BTC0.0078. Lost BTC worth around $900 during this process.

Of course no one wants it, when they have to sell it for a lower price than they bought it. And that would mean that the bitcoin would have gone down seriously if we had not sold it. Or maybe they need some money for something important. Or they feel unstable bitcoin want to give up. Right!
