I have DOT in my portfolio and it is down 79% as of today. The amount I've put there is quite big for me. The average buy price per DOT is 25.80USD. The price of DOT today is 5.38.
So the question is what are my options to rescue the money I've put into it? Is there anything I can do or I just wait?
Ops the expert market decision for you right now is to keep on holding your DOT for as long as possible to see if the price will recover back to your bought price so as not to be in lost and more also, you must have understood the risk associated with most of the altcoins because you must have to hold them only for speculation and not for long term and what I have noticed also in your case is that you bought that dots when the price was at all time high which is not the best buy decision for anyone.
But since the deeds have already been done I think next time before you hold any coin you must first have a good knowledge and when to act because altcoins are gamble and nothing more, today their price is at the moon and next day their could possibly drop to zero.
