So far I didn't buy Bitcoin at that time, but I do have Bitcoins from joining bounties and from my savings from joining signature campaigns, airdrops as well, around $12k already sold my Bitcoins thinking I am already at profit, but it still going up to $20k so I was very disappointed I sold at cheap, but now I realized, I am still lucky or else, I might not sold it.

It would be frustrating if we bought bitcoin at a high price like the end of 2017, which was a bad experience for so many newcomers at the time. bought for $ 17000 but later panic at $ 5000-7000. They have made a lot of losses when investing in the wrong time, and at the moment there are very few people holding bitcoin since 2017, most of them have cut losses from 2018 or sold it when the bitcoin price goes up $ 13000 in 2019
It would be kind of frustrating indeed. Fortunately, I didn't felt any FOMO that time, as far as I remember I do only sell back in the day though I speculate that Bitcoin will grow even further but luckily for some reason I didn't buy. I only purchase Bitcoin when market made a drastic drop which is a good thing since I can sell them right away if next halving would be good.

I have the opposite thought of this, I wanted to sell my bitcoins at that point but couldnt. When the price started falling, I didnt because I had a feeling that the price will be back up again. Invested in alts and they too started falling more and more. Its really hard to be patiently waiting and looking at charts which fall on every fluctuation. We may see a good alt season near to the halving.

I didn’t buy in 2017 but I did buy too early in 2018 when the price dropped. Unfortunately, the price kept dropping after that so I bought too early. I did manage to buy more later so the average buy price was not too bad.

When bitcon reached its peak price I just new to this forum and had a less knowledgable about bitcoin so I decided to learn more first and how its movement price and just being a spectator. Greatfully, I'm not decided to buy bitcoin at that time because in a few weeks its price just continue decreased and I was very scared of it.
There will be many people who still be caught in a snare
and hold their bitcoin until now because they have lost much. Even, some of them just tired and decided to sell bitcoin in lose, there will be much. But if I were them, I won't ever decide to leave on this investment. I believe there will be manh hope and also there will be many people who wait the right time to buy bitcoin again, indeed you should have more patience to choose that way.

Well i am in the same boat.
Just out of curiosity, is there any still recovering from the deadly bitcoin price in late 2017?
or fully recovered and seeing profit? or Sold away at that moment or later?
Unfortunately, it depends on the actual price the person bought. If some bought at $14k for example, I think there was a time in last year that price came to such level. So such people would have sold their coin but if they waited to get profit, they would still be in the 2017 trap.
On a large frame, those who bought at the ATH or closely below it or areas around %15k would still be at lost or have sold to handle their loss and move on.
And most times, waiting till eternity to get back the whole of your capital isn't really the best decision.

Who bought late in 2017 and beginning of 2018 they are still in loss.that price was nearly 20k$-12K$.those who bought in 2017 middle and after 2018 February they recovered or still in profit. Sad to here with your situation.Try to hold your bitcoin maybe we can see next bitcoin ATH in this year.

maybe some people who bought bitcoin in 2017 haven't been able to recover their funds because the price of bitcoin in 2017 touched $ 18,000 to $ 19,000 per bitcoin, so I think some of them still hold bitcoin for a long time while waiting to reduce by half and then they will sell bitcoin so they get more profit, because basically when halving occurs, the price of bitcoin will rise to the highest level of all time.
It all depends upon when you purchased the coin, if you purchased the coin at the top and then it is impossible to be even unless you purchase a substantial amount when the price went down and it all depends upon your initial investment. It is possible to recover completely but someone who invested at the top usually does not have the brains to level those

I have bitcoins in late 2017 until early 2019, I can't totally say neither still recovering nor fully recovered while starting to write this post. Maybe because I spent it when the time it's going down while enjoying the benefits I receive in return, so I consider it in a win situation side, let's just keep optimistic. Finally can say that I am fully recovered.
I heard some stories that most buyers of bitcoin on its ATH, still stuck on their losses. I think they didn't manage their trades well when they try to stop the loss.
For now, continuing to collect more satoshis again for the preparation of upcoming halving that can boost the price to go up massively.

If bull run will happen this year, I can easily recover my loss last 2017 and if lucky maybe a little profit. You should always cut your loss if you see that the market is starting to shift as it is not easy to see your holdings that keeps on decreasing it's price.

Still i'm holding my bitcoin that I bought in 2017 and i'm trying to recover using some altcoins. I invested in altcoins in mid 2018 and I think by this, I will lessen the value of bitcoin that I lost in 2017. Due to so much hoping that the bitcoin will increase its price more, I already lost the opportunity of having a huge amount of money. How I wish that I could turn back the time in 2017 so that I can correct my mistakes and change my mindset of holding too much bitcoin.

If you're looking for recovery then you must not let this opportunity to get away again. The btc halving is on may 2020 and its getting closer while the price is slowly rising. If you have missed and bought at a very high price in 2017 this year will be the best option to recover.
January 22, 2020, 07:52:09 AM
The recovery of the market on the price of bitcoin is definitely there this year but I am not sure that it will reach ATH as of the end of 2017 we know now that bitcoin has gradually increased and yet with this recovery bitcoin will soon reach its highest price this year.
I have traded enough to recover my lost assets last year and have now returned partly because of yesterday's pump so I have quite a bit to get here.

Right here mate 
My bitcoin is still in my hardware wallet and I still continue to hold, btw, I don't actually get back my invested money yet. I actually thought of selling it a lot of times and cut my losses but I still fight that feeling and continue holding till to date. Actually I am planning to hold more and will give it to my future son/daughter.

if you buy bitcoin in 2017 and still holding right now, don't sell it ( if you are not in a hurry) , wait it the price will be rise again not like many other altcoin, bitcoin is the first crypto, if we see last halving price, the next halving must be minimum $12.000. just research it, every halving bitcoin price will twice or triple if we compare with the previous halving. so keep calm, holding and waiting the profit.-

You meant in late 2017 specifically right? Well, a certain person bought at the peak or somewhere near it, chances are, that person hasn't made the money back, especially if the money is invested in most altcoins.
The good news though, is that if you just bought solely bitcoin, there's a significantly higher likeliness that you're going to make your money back(compared to when holding alts), or even be in the high positives sometime in the future. You just need to hold it long enough. If you bought somewhere near the exact peak of $19,700, you'd only be down like 77% right now. Whereas when you bought most alts, there's a good chance you're down 95%+.

Here we come to one very important characteristic that every Bitcoin use should have and that is patience. No one who bought Bitcoin in late 2017 hasn't recovered loss yet and no one can't actually guarantee that they ever will. So it's up to their assesment how long can they hold and how much loss they can accept and handle to just get over it.

I think everyone has a "Sad bitcoin story", I mean everyone even people who hold a lot of it cheap moan about how they should have bought more earlier. Everyone wishes they had bought at the early pump and dump cycle. Well here's the thing, in 2-3 years everyone who doesn't buy bitcoin now will be staring at coinmarketcap with an another sad story of their very own about how they should have bought in early 2020. I am still in a little profit, but i am sure, if I HODL longer, I will ended up with Lambo. Just out of curiosity, is there any still recovering from the deadly bitcoin price in late 2017?
