2017, I buy some alt coin 20k usd but i sell it only 5k usd.
Wait, that does meant that you've sold it all only for $5000 and you've taken the losses as if you didn't lost at all? That's $15,000 and a big loss to talk about.
Today i buy some coin but don't hold it for long time. Also i don't buy risky coin buy this coin is good.
I'm guessing that's another altcoin and if you've learned from your past and you don't want it to hold anymore for a long time then that's you have to do and change your strategy and only hold it for a short time.
