I think with Bitcoin the hardest season is right after the first purchase.  We purchased right before and well into the first bubble in April last year.  It was a very long Summer and we were under water for most of it.  The hardest part was thinking if we hadn't bought into the bubble we could have bought more coins than we did.  I think that was what hurt the most.  Of course November came and it was great and I was very glad I held on.  I think having been through this a year I have a little wisdom and have learned from experience how Bitcoin works.  Holding is the hardest thing to do, especially when the person has purchased the coins towards the peak of a bubble.  The best thing to do would be to buy more on the drops, if the person has any fiat left, or just ride it out if not.  But it isn't easy for sure.

My advice to Veronica now would be to just buy back in as much as she is willing to risk and ride it out.  We will have another bubble.  Didn't Barry Silbert at Second Market "guarantee" it?
