The good thing about the latest crash: The n00bs that thought there is a faster way to get richer with shitcoins now learned the lesson the hard way: Bitcoin will recover soon, while shitcoins will tank further. May be after 3-5 years some shitcoin will recover, but 99% chances are that your shitcoin won't. This is the newest harvest of shitbagholders. The same applies for the BTC/fiat trend followers. Let me tell your problem, morons. You value fiat way too much, so you prefer to sell screaming like little girls just to "save" 5% of your fiat. And then you are going to lose even that by trading shitcoins. The true BTC hodlers value BTC way more than fiat, so they will never sell everything. This is the biggest mistake one can do. The right question is what exactly you will achieve by selling the last 10% of your stash? If you plan to buy back lower will it matter so much? This is insanity! Some cunt here (I forgot his nick) boasted he sold everything at 50K. That means he bited his nails for 4 months while the price was at 60K+. Now he is gloating that the price is lower, but he is not buying back because he believes the price will fall to a certain number. This number will get lower and lower with the time in his greedy mind, until the price shoots up beyond 50K and that guy remains with the rusty pipe. And while we will celebrate 100K, 500K, 1mil, etc., he will slowly turn into the next mindurst, r0ach and proudhon. Nobody can bear such pain in the soul and remain sane.
While true in general, a small clarification is in order: this thesis will held better if we transition to a cyclical bear market (not just the dip). As it stands now, I am favoring bull resumption. In such case some alts can still outperform (until the next bear).
With my position being vastly outweight in btc (but a bit less than 90%, but much much more than 45% current bitcoin weighting), I can handle both btc outperformance and undeperformance. My philosophy was always to never sell bitcoin for alts (never sell btc effectively in the last 4 years and ongoing), but buy/sell alts as I please (for fiat or for each other). If alts zero out, so be it, but in alts I routinely take heavy profits (at least to the amount of fiat invested), so it should work out.
TLDR: btc and alts require different investment tactics. one-never sell (hopefully), another-a trading vehicle(s)-no hard feelings re a small buy or sell.
