Panic usually cause a lot of things, in the past, it has caused me a lot, Now I have come to realise that to panic sell is to loose your investment. Instead hold and see the end of the tunnel with a bright light.
Selling coins in panic has never brought any benefit to the one that is selling his coins, you are benefiting the person that is buying those coins for a good price and the exchange in which you are making that transaction and the only one that is losing is you, so even if you needed some time to learn that a lesson it is important that you have done so, you do not need to be a genius to make money in this market you just need patience and the strength of character to hold your coins.
