After hodling since inception. I now feel tired and on the verge of selling my elastics and my verge xvg, and also my guppy matchpool.. no deliveries; need money to survive
Well, if you need the money to survive, you should sell instantly.
This game is a gamble, no matter how you look at it. Only keep the money invested that you can afford to lose. This has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of a project, every projects has highs and lows and if you happen to need the money when it's a low, you're screwed. I could tell you how much I think Verge sucks, that I think that Matchpool is a dead-end and that I still think XEL will make it in the long run, but that is not the point.
You need the money, you take it out. Easy as that. And by "out", I mean out-out, as in not Bitcoin, not Ethereum, but fiat. Unless you live in Venezuela or something.
