indeed the speculation on price was very risky for beginners, they are new to this

• to maximize your profit in ZCL you would not have held as much until after the fork,
• to maximize your BTCP then or ANON now you should hold on to your ZCL well after the fork,

you can not have your cake and eat it too, most people will have learned their lesson now and be careful in this bear market conditions

what made the price drop worse for ZCL back then was the rally in the middle of an ALTcoin bloom after BTC's all time high when the fork was announced there was a general bull run

then when the fork finished there was the lull as the long bear market settled in

ANON will probably have to wear out a different market condition now..
