You made me look!


You want to see something that could make one panic?





Granted all of that will be high in the green tomorrow thanks to good earnings today.

This crash is necessary and healthy. There are a lot of useless shitcoins that push no product and solve no problem.

Bitcoin would be one of them if it wasn't the first.

Look for money to move around and out of the market before it starts to consolidate in coins that serve a purpose. Research those companies and go in on them. There is still time for significant gains.

Gotcha. I figured you were sorta sharing my experience. I didn't have a lot of house money built up, so today was a bit of a bloodletting. I managed to pull a trade yesterday into the positive and bought more VEN on that only to realize I didn't get as good a deal as I thought. I was pretty stoked for about an hour this morning.

That's close to my crypto losses for the last two days.

Down 5digits since Sunday evening, and getting cuckolded by BitGrail. I’m not panicking but I’m not “enjoying it” or whatever one poster was saying.

And, yes, I’ve been in crypto a long time and, yes, I’m still well up on basis.. but if you can’t complain about the dips, are you allowed to celebrate the bull runs? Kinda hypocritical imo

Well I’m down by 10 in the bottom of the ninth with 2 outs and a 0 and 2 count.

I got in waaaay late to the game so I have no choice but to ride it out. I viewed this as gambling anyway so I could afford to lose what I put in if that happens. I'm still thinking about putting in more. I'll either make a good chunk of change or lose a little bit.

ETA: I'm down about 20% total at this point.

You people (in general) panic too easy and do not have the stomach for this market.

I suggest a passbook savings account at CapitolOne so you don’t lose any more sleep.

Should you/we have gotten out earlier?
Maybe.
But to what?

Meanwhile I’ll be buying as there is blood in the streets.

ETA/ When things are great, look at your Blockfolio two dozen times. When it’s not so great, once to two times a day is plenty. Don’t beat yourself up.

You should retire from investing if that's your mindset. If you know what you're invested in you should see this as a buying opportunity, and should welcome it.

I feel like the people who are upset and downvoting rational thoughts...well, those are the guys who told their wife about crypto on New Years Eve, and now she’s

I'm down over 100k in January but made well over that the past year.... This is Crypto.

There is no other risk/reward like the present. Sleep well and think long term in years not weeks.
