Do not think of hurting yourself because of the coin. The advice i can give you is that you keep the coin for something. Just consider it to be a lost money and focus on something else. I believe in some months to come you will get something out of it.
If you bought the altcoin when it was more expensive than now, you have to hold it. Just do not listen to these guys that consider themselves the fortune-tellers and foresee the fall of all the cryptos.
Well others could by right by selling the coin before it will go down more, good trader always advice to put stop limit so that when the coin will go down that will triggered and automatically sell the coin you just bought. Of course its not good to lose but selling the coins with a lesser percent of losing is way better that to see it go down even more.
