I have also lost a bit, but im cleverer now. In 2016 i invested some money in bitcoin, I would rather not give the actual amount here. As everyone else I was happy to see that the market was growing. When it came to that it matched what I had invested i kept it there then it went up 3 times, after this I began to think what is my next move. Im glad that I took out 2/3 which I then used to buy a more stable asset - I used it as a down payment for rental property. Of course the other 1/3 as everyone knows I have nearly lost, but  plan to keep it in there. maybe the market will someday rise again.
