Also, as you said, Bitcoin is different. Shitcoins are bought to be sold (for BTC?) later, while one might keep most of his Bitcoin if he/she doesn't need the money, to avoid the mistakes you mentioned.
People sell Shitcoin only when it gets a push from it. This is not the situation from Bitcoin in contrast. I always keep 5% of my income for Bitcoin.
I think this is your best record at this time.
