Topic: What's your worst cryptocurrency investment mistake? - page 2. (Read 536 times)
There was this altcoin that I really like. I considered it my second precious altcoin that will make my hard work on its campaign worth it. One day, I thought that it reached it's hype that I'm very eager to sell it already. After a month, it's price reached more than 20x higher of the price when I sold it. I feel so devastated, that's it. After the fluctuations during Q1 it's price fall down to 2x of the price when I sold it. Lesson learnt on that part... Don't be always in a rush and always think thrice.
My greatest mistakes that has make me loose money this year is investing in lisk at a very wrong time. If I said I am happy about buying lisk at $28 this January and it price is currently at $9 I am lying. I just believe that most of us make this mistake of investing into cryptocurrencies at a very wrong time this year and this has created panic and stress among the investors.
In the past year I bought Bitcoin, when the price was 15k and I thought that the price would rise again when the price reached 20k, and I didn't sell. So, in the first months of 2018 the price started to come down and I predicted the price would rise again, and i didn't sell. And I have lost 10k from that, and this is a great lesson for me.
Unless you have sold it you haven't lost anything.
For me the worst mistake till date is keeping my 5 BTC on a shitty exchange. They scammed the coins and are can't be tracked. From that day onward I only trade on big and reputed exchanges and avoid exchanges with low volumes. I keep the majority of my holdings on a paper wallet. Also, I try to diversify my holdings on different wallets so that if anyone gets hacked, I don't lose everything.
My mistake is related to my wallet. I was hacked. This is only my fault. I saved my key on the hard drive. I did not think about it when I connected to free wi-fi. There is a conclusion. You are good at keeping track of your wallet
My biggest mistake was holding altcoins in the second half of 2017. Bitcoin was going up very well but altcoins were going down bitcoinwise. I prefered to hold altcoins. It was a big mistake. I could exchange them to bitcoin
oh yeah, it is definitely bad idea. unfortunately holding is not the best way to earn, we need to watch closely every our coin/token and work with them all time, sell high - buy low and again. As far I understood we must act more accurately and never relax om such volatile market. My all investments are bad at the moment, but I still try to be patient 
worst one among the my all bad investments is probably tezos, I think it is good but there is nothing now but my lost btc
Remember me please what is happening with them now? I mean Tezos. I heard they have a serious problems with SEC, is it right? worst one among the my all bad investments is probably tezos, I think it is good but there is nothing now but my lost btc

My mistake was not listening to a friend's advice and early sold "SHIP". It grows and will grow. And now I think it's too late and risky to enter this coin.

I minned a lot of xvg last year only to sell it at 50 sats few hours before mcafee started to pump it and price went to over 1500 sats.I stoped doing the math how much i lost after the number was above 100k$ :'(Would like to see someone to beat this 
When I first discovered margin trading I made a bunch of money on 3 lucky trades and decided to go all in.. with no stop-loss. Ugh.
Investing in a token called Coeval, which promising 10.000 Monkey coins for the Monkey Capital ICO( which turned out to be a scam). The price of the token was 1300$ at one point, and now it doesn’t even exist anymore.
That's why i believe it's important to study a lot before you make an investment, and to not get fooled by hypes.

Hello guys I will like us to share our comment on your worst crypto-currency investment ever made for some people it might be investing in lending coins which was rampant last year but crash heavily in the beginning of this year and for some it's possibly losing their hard drive which they backup their bitcoin wallet. So what's your own worst crypto-currency investment ever made ?? 
A promising coin, which eventually became a shitcoin is the doge. Also, some investments in IСO led to total losses, but I never invest in them in large quantities. Well, the rest of the small things and I do not think that changing prices in the fall is a loss, it's an opportunity to recoup in the future.
My recent worst mistake is i bought BTG at $200+ i got chance to make a profit when i bought this coin after 3 days the price went up to $400 but because of my greediness i missed to sell my coins. Now the price i think below $50. 1st time i chose the wrong coin.
My worst mistake is when I buy a coin and
when the price of coins is soaring, and I do not know if that time altcoin market will fall,
but until now I still keep the coin until the market price stabilizes, and I will sell when the price of coins
can reach the price close to my capital, at least in order to minimize the loss.

One of my worst investments was Stuffgogo. They had very high ambitions they were planning to launch mobile store to sell things usibg ethereum and stuffgogo token. But their developer was just plain bad. No release, no news, nothing.
Haha, that is an easy question for me guys. I bought some RBX for an easy flip and then the dev has gone one day later. He said in his thread that is isnt a good investment for anyone and he created a new project ^^
I think my worst crypto investment is Synero because I thought it will be popular as steem but I was wrong because their team is the worst and they did nothing, I'm waiting for Synero platform for almost 2 years now and they still have not release any working product.
Purchased a falling coin. Do not buy something just because there is no value. You must wait for confirmation from the market that the trend has changed. identify the price confirmation that you easily recognize for example with technical analysis, before you decide to buy the coin.
