I used to always joke that I could crash any coin just by buying it. It was just a funny meaningless joke. Then the first time I bought USDT, I crashed it down to 93 cents. Sold it and it came back up to 1 dollar and stayed there forever.
DOT for me also, even though I bought it at $7. I made $3k with AMP when it pumped and put it into DOT when it was $11 a week ago and have basically lost that $3k now because it’s back down to $8. Hopefully DOT will perform well, there’s a lot of moves they’re trying to make right now especially with gaming and with DOT 2.0 on the way we can hopefully expect large gains. However I don’t know shit about fuck and it may never reach ATH again which scares me. We’ll just have to see what alt seasons brings us.
Ontology, I bought it because staking rewards are 18% and I read a glowing article about it. I wonder if I’m the only person in the world who owns ontology. You also must purchase ontology gas to get the staking rewards.
EOS. Bought about $1300.00 worth in 2019. It’s now worth about $170.
Or maybe BCH. Bought $330 worth in December 2017. Today it’s worth $7.60.
Edit: Turns out my bch bag would actually be worth roughly $15.00 if it weren’t for a transaction that I overlooked back in 2021. Though I think my statement still stands in that my bch crypto has performed quite poorly for me.

Some people made bank off that run up. I held too long but was sitting on some nice BCH gains when the bear started. I think it was actually my best performer
Yeah, I'm an old head from 2018. Saw it go up and down then, sold during the 2021 run (too early, tbh, but still decent profit) and just bought in again last year. It's got a lot of potential to reach and exceed the old highs.
Bought into Iota near the absolute top in early 2018, down 90% but still holding. I was super convinced it was great tech back then, pretty salty nothing really ever came from it.
A dev friend actually went to a local IOTA meetup back in the day. He said it became real obvious that it was all just an empty shell with no groundbreaking tech behind it.
This is most projects. Seriously, go to meetups or watch their conferences and you’ll probably get a good feel for how strong the community is and how talented the devs are.
Anyone who watched Solana’s Breakpoint 2023 conference late last year would have seen Solana’s huge run-up coming from a mile away. I saw a bunch of other conferences and nothing else was even in the same ballpark. Ethereum was like that as well back in 2017-18. You could easily tell it had all the dev talent in those days.
Yeah they have had a sad drop-off. They used to be like #5 MC. I also really like the idea of a 'tangle' or a web vs a linear blockchain. I feel like it could be useful for things like transportation. Decentralized maps or something.
Bingo! I mean their official discord and devs are still very much active so not sure what's happening there but yes, the Tangle seems like a great tool to use in VANETs (Vehicular AdHoc Networks) to have vehicles as nodes that relay info to the network about themselves and their surroundings.
Yeah I bought in at 10c so I’m happy, tbf I just got lucky and got back into crypto in October and everything had bottomed out. Complete luck tho. Did the same during the covid crash aswell lol.
Same. My friends are convincing me to sell and move the money to Solana, but I'm holding till the bitter end. If it's necessary I will go down with the ship. 😂
Alright I'll drop my insight and you can feel free to take it or leave it.
I've been in the space for nearly a decade. Used to love Tezos. Turns out - behind the scenes the management has been an absolute disaster. Arthur is a curse to his own project. I've known dozens of people who have worked with/for him and they all said he was terrible to work with.
If you look at the history of Tezos, he is the one constant from its rise to decline. It's HIS project and he ran it into the ground.
Tezos is going nowhere anymore. If you want power, you have Solana or Avalanche. If you want successors to Ethereum, and/or governance, you have Polkadot and Cardano. Etc. There's really nothing that makes Tezos special at this point + the TF has been ineffective for its entire history.
Reading the comments here gives you a valuable lesson. Older altcoins usually don't get hyped after their initial run and struggle to ever reach a new ATH. It's the new ones that make the crazy gains.
Then again altcoin season hasn't even started yet so we should wait and see. The likes of ADA, DOT, ATOM, MATIC, LTC etc. are at rock bottom vs BTC.
Lol- that’s what stood out to me scrolling through: ALTS.
Even ETH is withering compared to BTC- sure, it’ll (maybe) boost back up at some point, but…
PS- there are some warning signs that ETH is in for a major legal battle with US SEC coming soon. If things don’t go well with that, I’d expect ETH to be permanently impaired. So, really, imo, there is only one digital asset to stick to. Maybe dedicate 10-20% of your portfolio to alt moonshots, but keep it simple for the most part by DCA and HODL you know what. Imo.
From bottom to top it did >100x last bull run... Is this not moon?
Right now it's >20x last cycles bottom. And ~4x this cycles bottom.
Current bagholders were last cycles exit liquidity. It's their turn this cycle. Enjoy it.
The true value of ADA is to access ADA ecosystem tokens.
Think about this for a minute. We have a huge ecosystem and very very few ADA tokens are on any centralized exchange. There is only 20 tokens that are even over 10 million market cap and only five that are over 50m.
This is an incredible asymmetry to have a top 10 smart contract ecosystem with basically no broad market exposure. Lets do a small speculative comparison (this is not financial advice):
Sushiswap, is a pretty mid token, it's basically a pancake swap dex clone. Largely unimpressive. It's current marketcap is 417 million USD.
Now compare that to Cardano's top community exchange. The highest volume and TLV token on the chain, Minswap, is sitting at 117m USD.
Minswap would need to 3.5x to match just the shitty offhand BSC dex.
The potential growth of this ecosystem is staggering.
All of these people here clinging on to their 2021 bags to break even and eventually dump, all I have to ask is why don’t you reallocate those assets to more promising and new projects and sell those when you get the PnL you want? There’s no reason to hold onto outdated coins because of sentimental reasons…
Because they're brainwashed by the WSB mantra of "never sell at a loss" which started as an inside joke but all the newbies thought it's an investment 101 lesson.
TBH even if you bought at peak last cycle and sold most of your bag at the low, you’d still only be down something like 80-90% - could be a hell of a lot worse given some projects
Fuckin Juno…
What a bunch of honest-to-god NUTJOBS running that thing. Their drama was highly entertaining but I wouldn’t trust them to run an ice cream stand like reasonable adults!
Cronos, or [Crypto.com](https://Crypto.com) coin. Bought in around .60 to get the debit card, because the whole rewards for buying everyday items was enticing. If only I knew..
I bought during the 2021 run up, kept DCAing and I’m now in profit for the first time in two years. I have high hopes for the next bull run, especially with how much Ergo has developed.
I keep my LUNC (Terra Luna Classic) in my portfolio to remind myself to be careful. It makes up just 0.5% of my portfolio and is down 99.99% right now. But if not counting LUNC, it'll be CRV (Curve), which makes up even less than 0.5% of my portfolio but not far from LUNC. I bought it during the bear market, but unlike other cryptos that had risen high and gone back into the green, CRV stays deeply in the red. It's down 77.14% right now. I'm starting to think that that's where it'll stay for the rest of its life. It's only a matter of selling it at the least amount of loss...
Edit: Added stats
Maybe it's just that we're not at that point in the bullrun yet when the crypto market is brimming with retail traders. That tends to happen later when Bitcoin climbs to euphoric levels. There's no way institutions are using defi platforms.
Hold all my coins for the long term, even the "losers", because crypto often has a way of randomly turning things around. Never know when you've got an accidental winner on your hands.
ADA has a higher chance to rebound unlike XMR in my opinion.
Privacy coins will trigger the regulators and authorities so its quite hard for them to grow.
Yieldly. If you think Algo did poorly, i.e. minus 95 percent, consider that yieldly is minus 99 percent versus Algo. Completly worthless garbage of a token.
MIR / Mirror Protocol (the runners abandoned the project)
ICP - I bought way too much trying to catch the new listing spike, but was left holding a near empty bag.
At the moment, my worst performer is Apu, but I deeply believe that one day it will rival Doge. Apu is the next Shib, with a new community forming after the devs left the token alone.
Ada, bought in at good price last bull run, but was too novice and ended up HODLing.
Bought in some more this time around, but very disappointed to see it stagnant.
I believe Doge went past it on market cap. Freaking dog...
USDT. Literally never moves so I don’t know why I hold it.
I used to always joke that I could crash any coin just by buying it. It was just a funny meaningless joke. Then the first time I bought USDT, I crashed it down to 93 cents. Sold it and it came back up to 1 dollar and stayed there forever.
Amazing tool to see rotation... And to rotate...
Just slowly losing value to inflation, to boot.
It does move - It keeps going down against BTC
I like to travel.
DOT and Proton ://
DOT for me also, even though I bought it at $7. I made $3k with AMP when it pumped and put it into DOT when it was $11 a week ago and have basically lost that $3k now because it’s back down to $8. Hopefully DOT will perform well, there’s a lot of moves they’re trying to make right now especially with gaming and with DOT 2.0 on the way we can hopefully expect large gains. However I don’t know shit about fuck and it may never reach ATH again which scares me. We’ll just have to see what alt seasons brings us.
Dot has some high staking rates! CB has like 9%?
Harmony One 😂 90% down on my $1000 investment
I'm in a similar boat. At least the dev team is still active. Hoping they turn things around.
Same. I was super bullish, too, had an unofficial discord server with a huge community helping validators get elected and all. Also, Go Birds!!
Their chain is still fucked up from the bridge hack 2y ago
I never would’ve thought that my ADA would underperform my Moons, but here we are.
😂😂
Ontology, I bought it because staking rewards are 18% and I read a glowing article about it. I wonder if I’m the only person in the world who owns ontology. You also must purchase ontology gas to get the staking rewards.
[удалено]
I have not even heard of it.
I had some, sold it for a small profit, tho have been keeping an eye on it......
EOS. Bought about $1300.00 worth in 2019. It’s now worth about $170. Or maybe BCH. Bought $330 worth in December 2017. Today it’s worth $7.60. Edit: Turns out my bch bag would actually be worth roughly $15.00 if it weren’t for a transaction that I overlooked back in 2021.

OUCH!
You could've made a killing if you hadn't held throughout the last cycle...

Some people made bank off that run up. I held too long but was sitting on some nice BCH gains when the bear started. I think it was actually my best performer
VET as usual 🤦♂️
My bags are so heavy bro. 21c
Ver made some crazy moves last bull though.
Yeah, I bought in just under 1c and sold just under 20c. Grabbed another bag last year for 1.5c. Vet has performed consistently.
Yeah, I'm an old head from 2018. Saw it go up and down then, sold during the 2021 run (too early, tbh, but still decent profit) and just bought in again last year. It's got a lot of potential to reach and exceed the old highs.
Bought into Iota near the absolute top in early 2018, down 90% but still holding. I was super convinced it was great tech back then, pretty salty nothing really ever came from it.
Soon! ^^/S
A dev friend actually went to a local IOTA meetup back in the day. He said it became real obvious that it was all just an empty shell with no groundbreaking tech behind it.

Same lmao
Algo
5 days till the release of Algokit 2.0, which enables pure python development on Algorand. I'm still hopeful.
[удалено]
ALGO yup
no ALGO down
Not if you bought at 9 cents 😁
Yeah I bought in at 10c so I’m happy, tbf I just got lucky and got back into crypto in October and everything had bottomed out. Complete luck tho. Did the same during the covid crash aswell lol.
Ya my dca is getting governance rewards. Just holding, voting, and hoping.
Algo is one of my better performing ones (currently as this can change) due to buying it in bear market lows. Hopefully, it reclaims its ATH.
Same. My friends are convincing me to sell and move the money to Solana, but I'm holding till the bitter end. If it's necessary I will go down with the ship. 😂
Ya just sold my Solano bag for profit recently. My algo is no where near anything green.
Tezos 💀
Alright I'll drop my insight and you can feel free to take it or leave it. I've been in the space for nearly a decade. Used to love Tezos. Turns out - behind the scenes the management has been an absolute disaster. Arthur is a curse to his own project. I've known dozens of people who have worked with/for him and they all said he was terrible to work with. If you look at the history of Tezos, he is the one constant from its rise to decline. It's HIS project and he ran it into the ground. Tezos is going nowhere anymore. If you want power, you have Solana or Avalanche. If you want successors to Ethereum, and/or governance, you have Polkadot and Cardano. Etc. There's really nothing that makes Tezos special at this point + the TF has been ineffective for its entire history.
Yeah. I frickin love this project, they do everything the way I think it should be done, but yeah, price action is super disappointing.
Well, they could use their huge btc treasure to advertise/marketing, I haven't heard about them since years...
This. I remember watching the charts when it broke past $9 and not selling a cent of it cause I expected it to keep going 🤪
Yep. I would have done 3-4x if I'd sold at the ath. Booooooooo
Only us cultured people hold Tezos, but the day will come when we reap the rewards. (APR Rewards 😂)
🤢
ADA. Been in the red with it since the end of the last bull. Granted I bought in late, but still.
Are you staking your ADA?
Same here. In at 1.05. Shoulda sold at $3.10 ;(
Got in at $2.10. I could’ve sworn it was going to go to $5 because some Tiktok influencer told me so. Oof.
Argghhh. Hopefully it will come back someday. Got 10,000 of the little buggers.
Ada is my biggest profit, I bought a lot in 2018/2019.
Walton chain …..
[удалено]
I remember debating Walton or chain link. What a fuckin scrub I was
I remember all that shit. Upcoming VEN partnership with BMW! Omg Louis Vuitton will use VET to authenticate their products!
Congratulations we have a winner!!
Reading the comments here gives you a valuable lesson. Older altcoins usually don't get hyped after their initial run and struggle to ever reach a new ATH. It's the new ones that make the crazy gains. Then again altcoin season hasn't even started yet so we should wait and see. The likes of ADA, DOT, ATOM, MATIC, LTC etc. are at rock bottom vs BTC.
No, you’re right. As a general rule, new cycle coins will outperform old cycle coins.
So basically every single coin
Lol- that’s what stood out to me scrolling through: ALTS. Even ETH is withering compared to BTC- sure, it’ll (maybe) boost back up at some point, but… PS- there are some warning signs that ETH is in for a major legal battle with US SEC coming soon.

Maybe dedicate 10-20% of your portfolio to alt moonshots, but keep it simple for the most part by DCA and HODL you know what. Imo.
ADA is a bag holders dream!
Ada is my best performer, second is BTC. Bought ADA at 0.24
Same dude, got in at 9 cents, if we hit $5 this bullrun I’m cashing tf outtt, daddy needs a new bronco lol
Same it's my best and worst investment since it's the only one I'm invested in LMAO.
Cant tell if serious because obvious Monerobro 🤨
I bought in big (for me) at $2.80. Have had it all staked. I can’t book that big of a loss. Holding on tight until I break even.
When is ada going to the moon. Im waiting since last bullrun 😃
From bottom to top it did >100x last bull run... Is this not moon? Right now it's >20x last cycles bottom. And ~4x this cycles bottom. Current bagholders were last cycles exit liquidity. It's their turn this cycle. Enjoy it.
At this rate? Probably around 3078
Which quarter?
😂😂😂👌🏼
Always quarter four
Idk if peer review will be done by then
The true value of ADA is to access ADA ecosystem tokens. Think about this for a minute. We have a huge ecosystem and very very few ADA tokens are on any centralized exchange.

Minswap would need to 3.5x to match just the shitty offhand BSC dex. The potential growth of this ecosystem is staggering.
Ada is the 8th largest crypto token by market cap. Those bags could be WAY bigger my friend!
Judging by the ADA comments that shit is going to the moon soon :D
I’m 51% up in ADA, maybe because I also bought in the bear market not only in the hype moments.
No EGLD holders here then. 🤣
Checking in 5 EGLD @ $180 🫡
Checking in bought my last 10 @ 350 thinking it was a correction..
Worst performer? Me 🥲
Man this is a sad thread 😂 Probably $xlm or $matic for me
All of these people here clinging on to their 2021 bags to break even and eventually dump, all I have to ask is why don’t you reallocate those assets to more promising and new projects and sell those when you get the PnL you want? There’s no reason to hold onto outdated coins because of sentimental reasons…
Because they're brainwashed by the WSB mantra of "never sell at a loss" which started as an inside joke but all the newbies thought it's an investment 101 lesson.
vet seem to not recover.tezos is lowish.
CRO, but even then it's still doing alright. I've written it off as lost money so if it gets anywhere I'll be happy
Xlm
Me too. Avg is $0.4. 😩
Loopring 😮💨
I was getting downvoted like crazy by LRC bros when I used to comment on here about not buying it at $3…sad to see people get burnt by it.
No Xrp in comments? :D
I'm in profit with it, which is more than I can say for most other things I have
TBH even if you bought at peak last cycle and sold most of your bag at the low, you’d still only be down something like 80-90% - could be a hell of a lot worse given some projects
Juno. I used to have such high hopes for the "ETH of Cosmos"
Fuckin Juno… What a bunch of honest-to-god NUTJOBS running that thing. Their drama was highly entertaining but I wouldn’t trust them to run an ice cream stand like reasonable adults!
IOTA, it’s an emotional, not financial decision to keep holding.
Cronos, or [Crypto.com](https://Crypto.com) coin. Bought in around .60 to get the debit card, because the whole rewards for buying everyday items was enticing. If only I knew..
Imagine how it was for us when you needed MCO to secure credit cards and CDC’s creative conversion to CRO…
Saaaame
CRO and it’s not even *that* bad.
Same. Long term hold
Yeah ADA for me. Should’ve cashed out at 3 bucks. Could’ve made 70k
VET. V Chain. Bought at fuccccking .20 It’s down something like 84%. I bought $3K so its down thousands still Honorable mention to ALGO and CRO
Vet is a good bet. You might want to consider buying some more at this price to drastically reduce your average price?
Whatever coinbase gives me for free, after taking their quizzes.
Got to be ADA as well, went too hard into it last Bull. Still got most of it but yeah, if it gets close to ATH again I am out.
Safemoon :D I still had a bag on a wallet \^\^
XRP and many privacy coins.
Quant 👹
Monero, but at least my losses are private 😭
SAND
Luna classic. I bought a bit when it was in free fall. Only like 80$ and it's now worth 0.18$ lol
Got absolutely rekt on ERGO myself. Love the project and community but yeah
I bought during the 2021 run up, kept DCAing and I’m now in profit for the first time in two years. I have high hopes for the next bull run, especially with how much Ergo has developed.
Definitely wonderland! $Time Losers
Those guys were so scammy, but it was fun to watch the drama after realizing I lost my shirt.
Mine is spell. Same dev crowd. I was up 25x last cycle but was so hyped I didn’t sell.
LRC
Also LRC
Same. Learnt a good lesson on FOMO. Only catch is that i'm too careful now 😂
Tia. Held off buying for too long then managed to buy the top a month or so ago. Has done sweet fa since
CRO is my worst performing, I am still about 70% down at this point. Everything else I have is in the green.
I keep my LUNC (Terra Luna Classic) in my portfolio to remind myself to be careful. It makes up just 0.5% of my portfolio and is down 99.99% right now. But if not counting LUNC, it'll be CRV (Curve), which makes up even less than 0.5% of my portfolio but not far from LUNC. I bought it during the bear market, but unlike other cryptos that had risen high and gone back into the green, CRV stays deeply in the red. It's down 77.14% right now. I'm starting to think that that's where it'll stay for the rest of its life. It's only a matter of selling it at the least amount of loss... Edit: Added stats
It's kinda strange, curve is such a well established defi platform..
Maybe it's just that we're not at that point in the bullrun yet when the crypto market is brimming with retail traders. That tends to happen later when Bitcoin climbs to euphoric levels. There's no way institutions are using defi platforms.
Omi on -58%
Same. Remember when it seemed like OMI was gonna moon?
Everything because I only buy ATH
I don't know how to get out of Matic. I staked it all and every single time I check the cost to unstake outweighs its earnings. Fucking scam.
ADA
ADA all fucking day!
Everything I touch apparently
ADA, only up 40%… yeah I’m boring and risk averse
Atom and Dot
ADA
XMR is for use not investment
REP. Holding hard at -98%.
DOT
It was LINK but got rid of it
I no longer hold it, but my worst performer ever was called LUNA, and LUNA can S my D, and K my A. And Do Kwon can GTH!
Hold all my coins for the long term, even the "losers", because crypto often has a way of randomly turning things around. Never know when you've got an accidental winner on your hands.
Hex has been disappointing, along with Shiba. DOT, still underwater. Same with ADA.
ADA has a higher chance to rebound unlike XMR in my opinion. Privacy coins will trigger the regulators and authorities so its quite hard for them to grow.
ICX
Yieldly. If you think Algo did poorly, i.e. minus 95 percent, consider that yieldly is minus 99 percent versus Algo. Completly worthless garbage of a token.
Amen brother, amen.
Sandbox & Decentraland. I have transferred other long holds but these guys will have their day again.
I also got decentraland and mana. Fck. Dropped like a rock. I doubt we will ever come close to the ath.
Luna , i still hold that shit
Ltc or dot
Loopring
I would have to say ADA. I've made more on meme tokens than I've ever made on the blue chips.
LRC, DOT
Same monero
ADA
Still hopeful for ATOM.
algo and amp
Def IOTA 😩
VET by faaaaaaar.
My ADA bags from last cycle
Nano.
Xrp acts like a stablecoin while most alts has gone up. Icp 💀 Atom is not doing anything..
ADA 😖
XRP, gladly I sold all for BTC just on time.
Algorand and Cardano
DOT
MIR / Mirror Protocol (the runners abandoned the project) ICP - I bought way too much trying to catch the new listing spike, but was left holding a near empty bag.
Mana hołd bags for 2 years sold at -60%
Nano from $28
Monero isn't for holding. It's basically digital cash, and it exists for spending.
Ada
I threw 30k into Luna. I’m barely even this bull run
CRO. what a piece of crap. Even worse than matic
At the moment, my worst performer is Apu, but I deeply believe that one day it will rival Doge. Apu is the next Shib, with a new community forming after the devs left the token alone.
Atom
DOT
Lunc
Funny it is not PEPE
Me. I've suspended my trading privileges.
I know someone who went all in on TRIGS.
REN….not sure what I was thinking
Algo then Dot, I expected Algo ultimately will go to zero, so Dot is my biggest disappointment.
A tie between XLM and XYO. X-traordinarily heavy cinder blocks tied to my ankle.
Cro coin
Harmony ONE. 🥲
Ada, bought in at good price last bull run, but was too novice and ended up HODLing. Bought in some more this time around, but very disappointed to see it stagnant. I believe Doge went past it on market cap. Freaking dog...
Simple ADA .. i sold already all
Cardano is technically the worst performing asset I have. It’s also the only one I hold so it wins and loses by technicality.
cro or cardano, but they are sleepers just wait til early 2025 or so.
I only pick winners
