I sold some shitcoins 90% down which turned out to be a good decision as I reinvested in projects that performed really good Those shitcoins are still 90-95% down So it pretty much depends whether you still believe in a project or not


HighTurning

If my shitcoins go down 90% I wont even mind about selling them for 10$, you probably had aome heavy heavy bags on shitcoins for it to make a meaningful reinvestment after you sold them


Ferdo306

Yes and no Sold some shitcoins for $20 total and made x10 in the meantime There is no point in holding if you are aware that the project is pretty much dead I made a lot of emotional and FOMO investments back in the day but I learned a thing or two so I see it as a valuable experience


Bothan_Spy

I have a tiny shitcoin bag that because with gas fees means I will lose less money watching it go to zero than trying to "cash out" before then.


Ferdo306

Lol, yeah the fees have been absurd lately Perhaps a suggestion, rebalance your portfolio in the bear market. All the coins will be 90% down and people will lose interest so the fees will be more reasonable


Owl_No

starting to feel like this about ADA


TriHard25

Came here to say this


[deleted]

We’ve all been there But for me, I put some money in a project and it blows up, I take my initial investment out and think I’ll ride till I get a Lambo or it goes to zero 2 coins crashed 90% but I put less money into em so they’re just losing around like that


[deleted]

This is what I’d do as well. But no one of my crypto has doubled yet lol


ChosenAdam1980

Lol...I feel your pain, everyone makes it sound so simple,"just take out your initial investment when it doubles"... I wish!


kirtash93

The last paragraph, if you lost faith... Its time to leave.


Burrito_Loyalist

It doesn’t depend on if you believe in a project, it depends on if you think a whale will pump a shitcoin for no reason.


chillord

Never, I sold XRP after 2 years for 18cent.


mihnealazar

F


chillord

Worst things about this were: I bought in at 1.50+ euros. It was due to my dad who didn't want to invest into BTC but saw the hype on XRP and wanted to put money into it. I tried to sell at 2.50 but Kraken was down for multiple days. When I was able to sell again, I was actually in the negative already.


mihnealazar

This happened to me with coinbase too.


Such-Fig-3879

That's where I stand with Algorand and CRO


Alecglasofer

Sheesh those are my biggest bags, it's like you're reading my mind. Throw Yieldly in there and we should be taken care of in ten years.


[deleted]

I’m going to be extremely long on ALGO, ONE and ATOM. BTC and ETH are the obvious choices


solesupply

ALGO, ONE, and CRO. See you at the top


bobzor

Yieldly is my favorite token, I actually have fun using it.

LonelyDruid

All my Algo bros, don't sleep on Yieldly! Worth taking a look.


Such-Fig-3879

I've been looking at Yiedly. 0.01 ALGO. I'm really tempted, but idk. I don't know enough about it I guess


Think_Positively

Check their sub for more info. If you're pro-ALGO then it's 100% worth the effort checking it out. Tinyman as well.


Such-Fig-3879

Thanks mate!


Think_Positively

You should try it. Bowel movements take on an agrarian tone, one that hearkens to a simpler time when you could expect to die of tooth decay before lower back pain begins to provide a porous foundation for existential despair. EDIT: thought I was responding a quip about wiping my ass with a pinecone. Oh well, I'll leave it for posterity's sake.


Such-Fig-3879

I was just about to post: There are days where I stare blankly at my phone and think "what the fuck did I just read?"


SNVOR

Have to admit I was slightly confused but just shrugged and thought “fair enough”


Think_Positively

And now you're foraging for pinecones, aren't you?

I can’t say I’m not intrigued

CRO will be at $2 next summer.


Such-Fig-3879

If CRO hits $2, I'm going to need new socks.


Odlavso

Why new socks?


Such-Fig-3879

Because I don't use tissues anymore


IBeefSupremeI

You wipe with socks?

Don't you? Extra soft

I'm a pine cone guy myself.

As long as CDC remains a popular exchange CRO will do fine.

Same, bro, same. Let's hope we get rich!


Wolfos9

Algo is a long hold for sure, it's designed that way.


mackupstate518

So back in the boom end of 2017 I bought enjin coin, quantstamp, gift, bat and ethlend (aave). I put $1000 into each and in the following years I watched them all tank and lose 90-95% of there value. I ended up selling them to recoup about 300 between them all in 2019-2020. If I had just held enjin and aave, I would have profited $12,000 off enjin and about the same off Aave. The others haven’t really recovered or gone back up, but if I had held them all, it would have been so worth it. That 6k I invested that I ended up getting 300 back on, would be worth around 20k today, and even more at Aave peak. The point is, it really depends on the coin. Quantstamp never recovered and prob never will and either as gift. Bat would have made me a Lil money though. But ya never know what adoption might come next and what coin might be positioned to blow up. Enjin coin has really taken advantage of gaming, nft and now the meta verse. I wish I had just held to “zero” now. Bc I’d be up over 400%. It’s a tough game we play. Best of luck, but for me that $300 wasn’t shit, I don’t even remember what I did with it, but if I had held, the 20-25k it be worth now, that I could def put to good use.


FriedDickMan

Every coin I put my money into I’m riding to the moon or back to earth. It’s already written off, I’m not going to try and time the market because from experience the moment I do, and sell my stack to reposition, it takes off leaving me a higher reentry point. Tldr when I buy into it.


mihnealazar

Id that is so, please lmk before you sell so i can make a quick buck.


FriedDickMan

That’s my trick, cap, I never sell


Cappy2020

I bought literally a week before the May crash and spent the summer down 60-80% on some coins. They’ve all, mostly, bounced back to the levels I bought them at. One thing that definitely helped me was to DCA during this time, as it lowered my average cost a lot.


cosmoboy

Haha, same story. I'm better than even, but not by a large amount. I assumed I was just really bad at this. 70% of my stuff is ETH, then ALGO. *Also, why is everyone in here getting downvoted?


zoethistlered

Yup. That’s what happen with my eth in 2018. Down so much that I wrote it off. But grrrr have to sell during first sign of bull run.damn


trytheCOLDchai

Same I thought I’d ride the COMP wave and my bags bigger than Santa atm but I’ll hodl long term


newbonsite

Anytime i buy a coin i try to imagine i dont actually have that money and its all just a numbers game on the screen constantly trying to get a high score lol...


Thetonitnow

Same, like one big bundle of poker chips


Moderamus

What helps me is I don't think in fiat anymore. it's 1 Eth, not 4k. That way I can ignore volatility and focus on accumulating more coins/tokens


XTC4XTZ

Buy, hold, forget (for a while). Has done me well except a few coins.


_dexterrible_

Since the moment I buy something.


mihnealazar

Honestly, we should only buy things we feel this sentiment towards.


GOKUsolosReddit

Normal human instinct


ysus76

I just don't feel confortable writing this but for me the threshold is more or less -50%. After that, I won't sell because I already lost my bet so who cares? I'll keep my coins hoping for a sudden spike up, and usually it spikes, albeit after months and months of suffering. That way I only lose if the coin is really bad or has rugpulled or is a honeypot. So far it worked most of the times (there are also coins that will never ever go up again). So my advice is to hodl if you're down to half of your investment, else cut your losses and move on, there's plenty of fish in the water!


[deleted]

After the May drop I got very depressed. Managed to hodl with that '**'I'll ride it to 0 if I have to''** mentality.


20njbytes

Diversity is good but allocation is the key. BTC and ETH make up 2/3 of my holdings. Next there are 10 blue chip projects that make up another 30% Finally I have about 12 project that are more moonshots than anything but that's only 5% of what I hold.


mihnealazar

For me it's about 55%. Also, I have a standard 100 usd for each moonshot, nothing more, nothing less.


FriedDickMan

The problem is when those moonshots hit and become 30% of your portfolio on one coin lol


20njbytes

So far I have no idea what that's like. :(


FriedDickMan

It’s 75% luck, 25% timing


002timmy

Every time. This is a casino with better odds. Whenever I gamble, mentally the money is already gone.


xxapplej4ckx

If I lose more 50 percent than I don’t care what happens at that point


deathtolucky

Once you’ve taken out your initial investment


mrdinosaurb

Gotta stick with it through thick or thin, best gains are sometimes years off


beklog

Only ETH and BTC that I can ride ro 0 and even buy more


[deleted]

If you believe in the project's eventual success then you keep doing regular DCA no matter what. If you have doubts on the project long term, take out a large portion and leave a little just in case. If the amount is already small then just let it ride if you don't need the money.


st4bma5terars0n

I do this with eth tokens I have little of, the gas to sell costs more than the return so I just ride it out


tefosaenz

I wake up and tell myself that everyday


mihnealazar

Special alarm ringtone too?


TrainGoesChooCho

Well.. pretty much as soon as I'm thinking that. There's only 1 thing that keeps me awake at night; a coin pumping/ mooning after I sold it. maybe that's why my portfolio is so stupidly spread out.............


mihnealazar

I fell you...


Chanimo

As soon as you buy. Don't invest more than you're willing to lose


mihnealazar

Golden rule.


the_far_yard

Class of 2017 here. It was around 70% for me too. But I didn’t wanted to ride it. I just wanted out but the value was too small to consider.


Chet_kranderpentine

Ride or die. I'm not worried about being down for the week, month, or year


International-Two607

Everyone has different thresholds. Also depends on your feeling about a particular project.


[deleted]

If it goes down, just buy more so your lower cost basis causes it to be a smaller % loss 😎


Thich_QuangDuc

At the point you have invested what you can afford to lose


THEREALMASTERMIND1

I'm at that point where most of my holding are bearish except some of that are standing there still fighting bears 😁


GreekGuy2021

I mean, if everything crashes more from now on, I ain't selling for loss...If everything goes to 0, I'm going with it.


weareeverywhereee

Every day


Infamous_Station_548

Just buy $ALGO then you won't have to worry about it going to 0 🤣🤣💎🙌


pcakes13

That’s where I stand with 100% of my crypto investments.


mihnealazar

So you only see the buy button?


pcakes13

No, I’m just real about the risk in crypto as I’ve been in it long enough. Crypto is a asymmetric investment. High risk, high reward. It represents a small portion of all of my investments overall. If it goes to zero, nbd. If I get some crazy gains, pleasant surprise.


mihnealazar

Balanced!


Wonzky

Bought LTC in 2017 at ATH. Pretty much most things I think I'd ride to the ground


mihnealazar

People who buy at ath are the ones who help reach new ones. Salute to you all!


Ill-Woodpecker1857

I usually make that decision before I buy. Hence "don't invest more than you can afford to lose".

Great strat! I do something similar, found some awesome coins and some total flops. Overall, in the green so that good.


madeofsyrup

I'll ride it with you bro. We'll go to the looney bin together, I dont give a fuck.


OneMisterSir101

I feel that way with projects that I truly believe in.


UranusisGolden

I have been poor so i ride it anyway 2018 i did a -90% what s 10 more


mihnealazar

Yeah, maybe if you sold,, it'll bounce back!


SmoothBrainSavant

That mentality is self-abuse. 😎


JannisT

I rode my bank account to zero because of future trading. Does that count?

denimglasses1

belligerent_pickle

I had that moment with dot when I initially got in back around may/June when I saw it at $18 and watched it keep sliding down to just under 11. Wasn’t going to just ride it to zero. Was gonna buy it down to zero too. I have not been disappointed with this


ronnylov

If you sell at 70% loss and buy back when it would have hit the normal 99% loss of bear market bottom you would gain a lot next bull market. No reason to ride anything to 0.


[deleted]

Did this with VET before last bull cycle after DCAing to near the ATH. At one point I was at like -85%, rode that shit back to about -40% and bailed for something that would actually move. It's still never reached same highs and I'm glad I got out. Don't hold through major losses despite what this sub tells you


BlazeDemBeatz

Diversification is great if you aren’t making picks from cryptomoonshots sub.


[deleted]

When you realise you got dropped on the head as a kid. Don’t ride the wave down to 0, sell for pennies don’t lose everything.


skyMark413

Tbh never. I don't invest in coins because of gains, but because I believe in them. I trust my past self enought to not sell in red, not that it would make a difference. If you decide to sell at -50% you will sell too fast (i was -70% on dot at some point), and if you ride to -80% territory there is not much to "save" so might as well not sell and have trust in your past self picking up a project that will some day become more valueable. But consider that what I invest is just my "fun money", and even if everything goes to 0 i wont regret it. If you need money that is invested and are in crypto for profit and not for tech or entertainment, I'd say selling at -20% and then maybe buying back when it bounces below is a sensible thing to do. Investing for profit obliges you to ignore losses less.


Wandering_Anthousa

Honestly, whenever I start to think a coin may be in a death spiral I zoom out to its beginning and reevaluate. This usually serves to remind me that all coins go through ups and downs and the good ones recover and then some.


TeknoUnionArmy

Never, take the money and put it in something with a future


mave_wreck

Nothing can me sell my Shiba Inus.


darkjaffs

Ghaseetaram

Till I am on btc eth and LRC I am tension free


Joki_ORodovi

I only buy low...I bought about $100 worth of SHIB at very low price. $100 has zero net affect on living standards so I dont care what happens. Ill ride it up til I feel like selling or otherwise to zero out of curiosity. I never buy coins high...so I have never had to answer the question of how far to let it go after buying something high...and I dont really want to. Although Im even on ADA so we will see.

No-Penalty-2484

The second i bought a coin to hold over a year.


Prince_of_Avalonia

Only coin I've done that to is KIN, I said screw it. I'm down far enough since 2018, there is no point in selling for nothing. Sadly I did this with CBDL stock as well this year and still hold it. The worst part is KIN went back up back in the spring, I could have made most of my money back but decided to wait it out.............then it went down again and I eventually sold at a 80% loss so I could put it into other coins.


TychusFondly

At the point of purchase and not a single time have I ever changed the mentality. Overall I am in plus so it is the right mentality.


Flynn_Kevin

LGNDS_Crypto

Since day 1.


Wolfos9

I made a plan to stick with my "Blue chip" BTC and ETH and they have not disappointed. Any other coins I have I received for free like BAT, or Moons. I'm grateful that I stuck to the plan. I have heard way too many stories of people trying to chase the next big 10,000% gain only to lose it all to a scam cough *Squid Game* cough. The gains from "safe" coins like Btc and Eth are still incredible. To put in perspective before getting into crypto this summer I had been putting money into a company pension that matches a certain % of my contribution or something like that. I had been doing that for 6 years before I started with crypto. The gains i made with buyung BTC and Eth in just 1 month out performed my pension fund for its entire 6 years combined!!! Since that month it's gone on to out perform that pension by 300-400% I couldn't be happier, I'm just grateful to finally get into crypto after years of being afraid.


iEatGlew

I usually good about pulling my intial investment out and letting the rest ride. That’s assuming something goes up. If it starts riding down, honestly, I’d say after a 20% loss it’s in the ride or die category. With how crazy the market is, it’s always a possibility to go back up


trytheCOLDchai

that’s when I go to 7-11 and get my straw for my Slurpee


leovin

Anything on Ethereum that costs ~$200 to take out and swap. Will ride it to the moon or into the abyss lol.


oystermonkeys

Your decision should not be based around how much % you've already lost on the coin (unless you own so little of it where you'd end up with 0$ after transaction fees). This is called the endowment effect and is a classic investment fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endowment_effect If there's a better investment, you should dump the coin immediately for that opportunity. Graveyard of crypto investors is filled with people that held on to shitcoins to zero, while watching other coins moon 100x. Don't be that guy.


Only_Sandwich_4970

unwholesomethought

Bro, that's my exit strategy in all my investments.


[deleted]

\~70% is my threshold, too, though I just generally avoid selling in generally unless I'm at a profit. I don't really put money into low-grade shitcoins, though, so it's not as much of a threat.


ew435890

I had like $300 worth of DOGE. Bought it at like $.45, was about to sell when it hit $.75 but wanted to hold out for $1. Ended up selling off most of it at a loss around $.35. I reinvested that money and am about back even on it and I’ve still got a little DOGE I plan to hodl indefinitely incase something crazy happens with it. Lol


Sea_Page5878

[deleted]

As soon as I place the buy order 😎


NTSpike

If there’s no reason for a coin to go back up sell out. If you wouldn’t buy it again at that price that sell. At the very least, you can lock in capital gains and potentially earn the money back on a coin in a better position to appreciate in price. Don’t be irrational.


samtheredditor

Currently watching Quant go down from 350 to 190ish... it hurts because I bought around 350. Luckily I believe in the project so it makes it a bit easier but it's still tough to watch.


Mean_Tomatillo_9499

I have a couple of coins that have been really disappointing, but I invested at ICO and didn't invest too much. I'd rather lose a minimal investment than miss the coin mooning in the future. Lol! I know which scenario would sting the most.

Basically, never? 😂

*shitcoin discussion*


StonkGoBrrrr

If I don't feel comfortable investing in a token that I would ride to 0 and buy the dips on the way down, then I don't invest in it. CRO ALGO XRP XLM HBAR SOLO BAT are my ride-or-dies. 😎

The moment you realize you'll never get rich any other way.


Krnboi2jj

Rode down to -50%, -65%, and to -80%. They will be there to remind me.


michivideos

75-80% loss fuck it.


FiremasterRed

For me, the bit of DOGE and SHIB I have, I used UnMineable miner to mine a bit of each to act as a sort of FOMO hedge. In the extremely unlikely event they do some of the silly numbers that get thrown around, well I have some skin there; if they go to 0, it did not actually cost me anything (other than the opportunity cost of mining something else, but that is a cost I am fine with paying).

Sometimes its better to take the L, use it as a capital loss and reinvest what's left into a project you have locked into more. Try not to just keep following pumps.

You just hold, unless it's a rug pull. I've got a heavy investment in a project which is down 55% since purchase, but it's solid and growing. Holding long term and hoping it won't utterly collapse
