Seeing as the crypto market is in a free fall?
I knew it was a risky venture to get into and in prepared to lose what I invested, but watching my money evaporate these last few days does kinda suck. [emoji45]

it truly sucks but i'm gonna stick around

during last 2-3 weeks i have sold all "shit coins" if they were close/winning, most of them are now
in free fall and just one (sonm) sky rocketed. if not -> sell order for 3 x original price and to the eternal hold wallet

coins i kept: BTC, BCH, ETH, SAN, OMG, NEO, waves
today i sold all moneros ( $106) and bought ETH ($263), will buy monero back later

even after this -20% drop i'm still easily +100% from april-may this year

overall, this might be last good times to get those top ten market cap coins

keep calm and don't panic sell.
2018 will be the crazy year of cryptos, just watch news where chinese or us bankers are bashing bitcoin etc. imo that's good sign and more and more people will be interested about cryptos

Actually be prepared to lose what you put in and have this be one part of your overall investment portfolio.

But if you think that the real value on your coins > value of your holdings, then you stay in. If not, you get out

I don't own any OMG, but I do own all the others you mentioned here. I bought a bunch of ETH when it dropped to 300 last week and am going to hold everything I own and possibly add soon.

Investment? Nah, the few dimes I tossed at these crypto coins is just gambling money diverted from sports books.
As far as a "real value" goes regarding cryptocurrencies, I don't believe any of them have any more value than does a fiat currency.
Yes, you can do a bit of shopping with BTC now, but it's still converted into USD when you do so.
It's so early in this whole sector that everything could go to zero tomorrow and I wouldn't be the least bit shocked-- nor will i be shocked if one of more of my holdings gives me a 1000x winner.
These coins are nothing more than penny stocks in a different form.
Gamble with them at your own risk and be prepared to lose everything and it's all good.
Just was wondering what others felt about the current reduction in value of many of these coins.

To toss another question at the forum:

Anyone got a guess as to where the bottom is for these coins?
If anyone catches that bottom and they rocket back to new highs you're going to make some decent money ....:toast:

I think i'm going to put some money in a book that offers fast withdrawals. If I had extra BTC this morning, I would have bought more MTL. But by the time I move it, it's usually too late. I wish there was an easy way to convert USD to BTC to MTL.

Use Coinbase. Leave it in USD, then convert to BTC or ETH and buy at whatever exchange you're using to buy MTL.

I thought there were issues with Coinbase now? Thanks. I'll have to look into it if that is an option.

There will be dips although this one is significant. But if you look at the over all chart Did almost the same thing at 2500. Dropped 25%. Doing it again at 5k. Next stop $7500. I tend to just not look at my totals during these down times. Just a matter of time until it pops again. Woodson said 100K!

:Yep:

Yeah, I was so pleased with myself when I grabbed a handful of ETH at 300 only to see and all my other holdings drop 20-75% :facepalm:
Read recently where China makes up 20% of all crypto trade volume so with their government making the moves it has recently...
Just looking at all of this as a losing sports wager that's a long, slow bleed rather than seeing my money evaporate in a few hours.

Who has the guts to buy more right now??

?All? Chinese Bitcoin Exchanges Must Close By September 30

?All? Chinese Bitcoin Exchanges Must Close By September 30

Bitcoin prices are already reacting, with 24-hour losses approaching 21% at $3000.Cryptocurrency CEOs have reacted to BTCChina and now other exchanges shutting down with firm plans for the future.Speaking in emailed comments, several industry players said that while markets were reacting harshly to Chinese regulatory moves, the long-term benefits for Bitcoin?s ethos and therefore stability were clear.?The price is always a solid metric of the markets? greed and fear, and reflects regulatory uncertainty at the moment,? Leverj CEO Bharath Rao commented.?This also signals that development of non-custodial and decentralized models will accelerate.?
?Regulation is neither necessary nor possible for decentralized models, and the future may have gotten just a bit brighter by nudging the crypto community to develop high speed, non-custodial exchanges.?
Chinese investors became notorious for their short-term trading activities, which often influenced Bitcoin volatility in the past. The latest regulatory warnings produced a second mass exodus to p2p trading platforms such as Localbitcoins this year.With sanctioned Bitcoin-to-fiat trading looking to stop in China altogether, an major market influence will disappear, but this may not be the case forever.?China is practically building a cottage industry for mining and exchanging bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, so it is hard to believe that they intend to exit a market with so much potential upside,? Jason English of Blockchain alliance Sweetbridge continued.?Even the apparent ban on ICOs seemed to be more of a stopgap in order to get some policies in place. If anything, this example shows the volatility of the space and that some market-makers can likely take advantage of an unclear news cycle to create a sell-off and buy back opportunity.?
