Sell now and you will get eaten by whales.
Hold and you will become a whale
It's easy as that people.
What we are witnessing here is a shift in the balance of power, XC will reign supreme but it will not be without fighting hard.
Don't look at the charts 24/7 just put your XC on cold storage, look at the charts once daily if you really must, but just carry on with your life and don't worry.
In 3-4 weeks XC will redefine the whole landscape of crypto. You will look back at this time laughing.
Like you, I have a lot riding in this, if XC goes to the moon I will have a lot less to worry about. In my opinion it is not a question of "if" but when and I am confident.
Don't worry about the trolls, the fudders and all the people out there that are trying to put XC down. They fear the potential disruptive nature of XC and will do anything to keep it from blooming, in the end they lose.
But fear not, nothing fundamentally has changed, the same aspects of XC that convinced you to invest still stand and are become clearer every second the dev is working on the project.
The fear of loss outweighs the potential of gains, you feel uncomfortable right now I understand. But imagine the feeling in a couple of weeks when you see that you sold at a tremendous loss.
It was clear that this is no "get rich scheme" XC is different, XC is a company rolled out to provide a revolutionary financial service for the digital age. This is the first opportunity since Bitcoin itself to invest in a technology still in it's infancy that will revolutionize the way business is done.
Don't be fooled by the confirmation bias, right now negativists and fudders seem to be in the majority, but only because they scream the loudest. Holders and believers in XC are just waiting for this to blow over and are quietly watching the markets. I am one of them, but I felt I had to get this message out to you.
Stand fast

Honestly, I will probably get hated for saying this by some BUT these alto currencies aren't stocks. Stocks you can hold for years and what you said applies to a stock such as Apple Inc.
However, if there is massive selling there is usually a reason. How many coins that are in a large downtrend end up going back up again? Maybe 2-3.
Look at Aurora Coin, Cinni, WC, BC, or even DOGE. They made so many investors lose at least 50%+ or more of their portfolios.
These coins are only good for shorts trades never for long term holds or investments.
Thank you for your reply, I agree that for the past year or so nothing fundamentally revolutionary was brought to the table. Coins were being added to the market, but they sprouted from tunnel vision, they where in a sense copies from Bitcoin with the same basic functionality, they were all just "coins" differing only slightly from the original. This is where XC is different, the XC "coins" are merely a part of a new infrastructure, instead of being the equity itself, they are the vehicle that functions within this infrastructure. The XC coins are at the moment the means by which you can invest in the technology.
I respect your opinion, but try to look beyond "crypto currencies" we have been playing that game for about two years. It was bound to happen that something really revolutionary was being built where the Bitcoin technology was the inspiration and the basis for vast fundamental improvement instead of being cloned.
At this point in time what enticed me to invest is the vision of the developer and his ambition which I wholeheartedly share. I believe it will only be a matter of time before venture capital will get interested in XC.
I welcome anyone to have a civil and respectful discussion.
