Im A HODLer too... I Bought 2600 EMC2 at 2 dollars... and im hoping to recover soon!
Sorry, pal, you lost everything. EMC2 is now $0.17 and sinking. Expect it to go sub $0.10.
So There is no hope?
Because one member of BTCtalk say something, it must be true? If after researching you come to the same conclusion, it might be true for you but not for the team.
The loss of value in $ terms is ampliphied by the crumbling of Bitcoin's price which was around 20,000$ at the time of EMC2's ATH. There's barely a coin out there which didn't lose at least 70% since ATH. The problem is generalized.
For a lot of coins losing only 70% even would have been good. Some are down as much as 90% and even more.
Every day I check the price of Einsteinium and smile. Now it's $0.2, and today +17%! But I remember when it was over $2.
I remember when it was less than a cent. It was the same year when as beforementioned $2.
