Or to lose your BTC on another shitcoin. Look at those P&Ds, when you see it pumpin, its already too late.
People have lost money in XC. You can lose money in any coin buying at the top of a downward trend. Every coin is a P&D assuming you have the capital to be able to manipulate the price. I've doubled up on coins that were well into a pump. I wonder sometimes if some of you really believe the things you post. The longer threads on this forum seem less like civilized discourse and more like idol worship.
Using anecdotal evidence coupled with the recommendation with using cheaper coins to double up.
When you 'doubled up on coins', where do you think those coins came from? Someone had to lose for you to gain. Most significant P&D schemes are a result of insider trading, and not a result of having capital to 'manipulate the price' as you describe.
You have to understand that some people believe in the long-term survivability and subsequent appreciation of the project.
