I bought bitcoin when it was around $14,500 in January and I am still holding because I am not discouraged. I have great hope that bitcoin is going to increase in price and volume in some years to come.
You were too high. And it takes a lot of time for you to make a profit. In 2018 we can not see a bitcoin price higher than 8000$ in the current market. At least we need to wait until the middle or late 2019. To the market can return to the game
It might take too long for now to recover however market is indeed unpredictable so we'll never know where this will take us. Last year's speculation was just around $10k yet it reached $20k and it's beyond from what we think. So yeah these faith and hopes are the ones that keep us running that these tough time will be over and the price will skyrocket sooner.
