I wonder how much people have lost money during this bloodbath which never seems to end. Maybe it will continue until the overall market cap is under 100 billion.
I bought Ethereum for 5000 euro in January when the price was 770 euros, and then for another 10 000 euro when the price was something like 900. I also bought few Litecoins as well. From original 15 000 euro I have only 5000 left now, so i've lost almost 70% for now. I haven't sold anything yet.
ETH supposed to be one of the most stable coins but I really have no idea what I should do anymore. Actually I don't even care anymore if the price of 1 ETH goes to zero and I lose that remaining 5k because I have already lost so freaking much. I even had to put my house on a rent and move back to my parents for the next 1.5 years to recover from these losses if the price does not rise again.
Sorry for opening up but I had to share my story so I can feel a bit better..
I'm not going to beat you up with the rule that people should only invest what they can afford to lose. It's true, but I guess that if you can keep your coins without selling them, then that means that you can still maintain your life with a few adjustments, but with no major losses (like going back to your parents). Since you are not really holding shitty coins, then I would say that you should just hold to them, like you are planning, and everything will probably be ok again. I'm also losing money, but I see my investment as a long term thing, so I'm not selling my coins, at least not in 2 or 3 years from now.
