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?
I am sorry about your story but you forget to follow rule number one of cryptocurrency trading after you already have the needed skill and knowledge to trade crypto.
The number one is choosing the right coin and from my book, if you must choose crypto to trade for profit it must be a coin that's somehow resilient, always get its bullish back when it is the rally market, and doesn't have community issue.
I will advise you to keep the DOT and wait for the rally market if it follows the BTC market trend.
