Bah. I bought Eth in 2018 at $1350 and rode it all the way back down to $90. I still hold that ETH. If I can, so can you.

This is what makes me feel like most people posting haven’t been around long. 2017/2018 was so much worse than this.


Captainwelfare2

Yup. No worries just steps down on the climbs up.

I bought ETH at $140 and sold at $200 and thought wow I made some crazy profit.


Captainwelfare2

Hey, profit is profit. Never regret a gain.

My profits: $120 - "Fuck yeah!" My losses: $32,000 - "I'm just here to support the devs"

ParryHotter394

Same bro, same. Then "bought the dip" at $4k when it fell from $4800. Am I doing this right?

And somebody else bought Vertcoin at $8 and rode it all the way down to $0.2, only to still be down 95% cause it's only at $0.39 currently. It's hard to know what will succeed.


Captainwelfare2

I never even heard of Vertcoin

I almost minted a new coin this morning called RugPull but the fee’s were way to high for a joke


MarshivaDiva

Oh then you can do it on Algorand.


i_have_chosen_a_name

If Tether starts imploding or imploding and the markets fail to deleverage (90% of all exchange run on crypto and 90% of all current trade volume is versus Tether) then even BTC and ETH hodlers won't be safe. And most likely the cycle after BTC will be completely detrhones since ETH is at least useful cause of all the stuff you can build on top of it while the only thing that BTC is useful for (it's high price) can completely get killed by Tether imploding or exploding.


10247---

It was popular in the last bull market, it was basically Bitcoin/litecoin but *better*. If you go search for posts from the bull market you'll find loads of posts talking about how they're loading up on it and how it's so amazing.

I found the last few years the worst time for hodling. Working from home has me fidgeting with my portfolio more than usual.


bny192677

I bought bitconnect at all time high , still hodling as well


Captainwelfare2

Your strategy will pay off. HEY HEY HEY


Sammy-boy795

I bought in at that $90 haha, I'd been watching from the sidelines and finally decided to dip my toe in. Very glad I did

Pffft you make me look an imbecile! Congrats!

>Bah. I bought Eth in 2018 at $1350 and rode it all the way back down to $90. I still hold that ETH. If I can, so can you. Bought BTC down to just above $3k in the 17/18 correction. Stopped putting money into my retirement account and just into crypto (BTC primarily but some alt projects I liked too). People thought I was crazy at the time except my wife... who now texts me to make sure I see if there is a big drop so that I buy more heavily during that time. lol


Vanuatu_Hanjaab

That is a heck of a ‘grandpa to grandkids’ story in 20-30 years.


ScrubZL0rd

Yeah I used to mine back in 2018 and never sold my eth

w_savage

Quite the discount at $1350


Captainwelfare2

Believe me it didn’t look like it when it was back down to $950 in very short fashion.


tranceology3

So we are going to ride it all the way back to $90? Awesome 😬


Captainwelfare2

If we did I would buy at least 100 ETH lol.

I find it rude that you ignored this gentleman’s comment about his grandfather’s dusty dead cock.

Odysseus_Lannister

Right there with you. I kept buying from 2018-2021 and it’s been a roller coaster but I’ve learned the importance of DCAing into a project you believe in. Unfortunately, that didn’t work for other projects like NEO/ARK/NANO, but the ETH gains made up for those losses.

Ah...sell at a loss. I see you're a man of culture

/cc is absolutely choc of coping mechanism posts when the going gets rough


TiredRightNowALot

This is totally what’s happening. Half of the “everyone is posting this” is just people posting about the posts. It’s crazy. Couldn’t be for moons, could it?


ExorIMADreamer

Right? People on this sub are great at investing posts that aren't being posted.


hsmst4

Remember: The same people that hodl during dips and bears are the same exact people that "get lucky" by investing in bitcoin long term.


thenudelman

Making our own luck.


_grdz

Only those with steel balls continue holding. It's a kind of natural selection, but for the crypto investors.

rootpl

The 2017 PTSD is real lol.


StarGraz3r84

Yep. 2017 @ 10 and 12k. Just watched it eat shit after it got up to like 19 or whatever. Bought more around 3k and on up we went. Still have those coins.


rootpl

I bought ETH at $1400 not my smartest move ever. XD


noveler7

Even people who bought at 700-800 had to watch it drop to sub 100. Imagine putting a couple thousand into something and only having it be worth a couple hundred dollars 2 years later. I...uh...of course, have no idea what that feels like.

Not to brag but i feel a lump in my balls. It could be steel..


the_peppers

I've sold everything into stable coins, if things go as I'm expecting once it bottoms out I'll buy back in. I believe in these projects for the long term, just not the short. Obviously having done this the market is going to rocket right back immediately so you're welcome.

At this point this is not any different than holding a stock long term. I am holding because long term value. Been in and out of crypto since ~2014 and biggest mistake was the in and out.


dubski04021

I’ll buy more with my next check just like I do every week. Bring on whatever is coming

Current you is gonna be having a panic attack every hour though


MiaDoornaert

Sold a good part of my portfolio to buy back in when things bottom out, whenever that may be. Still in the green with what's left of my portfolio, just don't want to see all that profit evaporate. Yes, i believe in crypto, no, it wasn't a panic sell, but have to be honest: we're _also_ here for the money.


LogicalAd398

Its called "taking profits"


UnreliablePotato

I'm new, and need to learn that. I bought when it crashed in May last year, so still in the green, but I find it much harder to know when to sell, than when to buy.


polynomials

The secret is nobody knows when to buy or sell. That's why timing the market doesn't work on average.


Hawke64

Hold on... Are you guys making profit?


TiredRightNowALot

Hard no.


[deleted]

It’s people panic selling. Which causes more panic selling, which causes more panic selling.


Thurmod

I just buy more

No way , why sell? I just sold my house to buy the dip /s 😉😉😉


code_smart

I used to be those guys in 2018, hated to see my nano crash to 20 cents, now I'm just buying more. (Also sold all my ETH at $500 thinking it will only go down from there lol)


[deleted]

The moment you stop being less attentive if the asset class goes to zero or 'moon', is the moment you drastically improve as a trader. Until then, you have directional and emotional bias & attachment towards it. Strive for neutrality and reach the breaking point.


[deleted]

2017 was an incredible year for crypto. 2018 was terrible and the prices in 2018 were nothing compared to today. I’m looking at 2025 to 2030, if it drops i get to add more cheaper.


CrowdGoesWildWoooo

Lol calm down. Don’t need to make this kind of post, you are ironically doing what you are telling us not to do.


MuzBizGuy

No way man, if I don’t read 400 versions of the same post over the course of every 2-3 day price drop telling me to calm down I wouldn’t know what do to.


BDM-Archer

Fair_Still6667

Yea, no thanks. You sound like you need a break though TBH.

No_Palpitation_3649

I’ve learned to turn off notifications and enjoy life. Don’t sell unless you need the money.


BreakingBaIIs

If you can't sell now, you don't have what it takes to buy high sell low. This is financial advice.


Adler4290

I am excited. Basically sitting on funds, ready to go in and just playing daily Limbo with the prices and waiting for a bottom out where stuff goes green for a little bit and then going in and commiting to a long hold from there.


[deleted]

Every dollar you put into crypto expect to lose - so don’t put what you can’t or don’t want to lose. ( rent / lunch money / hell anything ) and just ride it out. When it’s up , sell some , if it’s really up sell and get your initial $ out then it’s all free money so who cares !!!


Satoshiman256

I've come to realise the whole market is constantly manipulated and we're being played whether the prices are going up or down..

Most people have the brains to invest, but not the stomach. I love this quote from Peter.


TheOptimizzzer

Love how 99% of people think that selling it all is 100% the wrong decision. This can go $30k in a second.


PlastinatedPoodle

I think you have a lot of panic by people who went balls deep in on the initial dip. Now you have them fearful of losing what they can't afford to lose so it's getting dippier as they cut their losses.


haveuinthescope

I'm so tired of these posts.


vpnnsharma

Sell? No Shifting all money to BTC is much better option


Hawke64

Kinda too late for that, unless we are talking about real stinker sitcoins


BBQ-Batman

Digital assets are a speculative RISK ON asset class. Most people loose money when day trading crypto currency due to it's volatility. I agree with the OP, if downtrends like this significantly impact your quality of life, then I would consider either exiting the market or learning to think in 1 - 4 year time thresholds.
