The token value goes down, and that means your $50,000 goes down. $200 is a pretty low drop and don't worry too much because maybe next week your amount will increase. That is the fluctuation of the token value of the project. You will still profit from placing your coins in the protocol.
What do you mean by 'placing coins in the protocol'? Do you refer to phala network?
The issue with Op isn't that he lost 200$ value, but that he placed a big money in project who is in risk to lose all his value in a tin of air. He is here to ask about which project to invest in and seems not taking too much care about where he will put his money. My advice for him was only betting on one of the top 100 alts cmc with big money or he can split the budget into several projects to cover the loss that may happen in one of them.
