>What's the single worst trading decision you've ever made?
Watching my crypto investments every other hour and trading them away at a 25% loss, only for the price to bump up 30 minutes later where it was. Happened like five times already.
yep
I dumped 2000 bucks into verge because it was on the superbowl, Rhianna made a song for it, and it was backed by a bunch of people in the music industry.
After it dumped I realized I invested into niggers and you should never trust nigger shills.
Everything I made day trading gone in about 2 minutes once verge released on Coinbase. Stupidest most rookie investing mistake I've ever made in my life and I tested my mettle trading commodities and ETFs. Spiraled into depression because I started to believe everything I earned was luck and not hard work and timing.
Tldr; literally never trust niggers. I'll invest in 10 pajeets before another monkey
Bought $4k worth of Ethbet.
Bought $4k worth of INT.
Worst decisions ever. Basically threw away $8k.
>sell 1/4 of my BTC holdings in April 2018 for avg price of 6500
>price rallies to 9,9k the same month
>for the next 6 months continue holding USDT position through all the spikes, confident that we will go significantly below 6k
>late October, tether FUD comes in, USDT plunges to 0.88, dont want to risk tether implosion any longer, buy back into BTC and withdraw to cold storage, basically break even in BTC
>week later BTC finally starts crashing to 3k
Buying BTT
Cappasity at .35 right before the NVIDIA partnership announcement. Made 20% and decided to hold on because fuck it, why not. Down 93% :)
Sold my 110ltc i bought at 42 dollars at 120 only to see it shoot to 420 next few days. Or, Going all in REQ at 22 cents. I dunno which is worse.
Holding 8k zil from ~19 cents
after not selling NEO in mid january 2018 ($7k to $400k)
didn't swapped all NEO into BTC at NEO/BTC ATH at the end of january 2018,
and i fucking knew about 21 btc rule,
if i had swapped i'd have like 31 BTC.
fuck fuck, fuck,
now i have just enough to buy cyanide and drink it.
Topkek, i bought when we hit ATH in april.
Next time when if we break 20k you know what to do.
>21 btc rule
Explain please.
It's okay they were BTC i bought in early 2013 and I still made 250k dollar cost averaging out, I just started too early
Sold LINK
0xbitcoin. I got so depressed after that shitstorm that I went to bitmex and 100x leveraged then lost it all
Not selling this shit at ATH when I had 4k profit after buying it during the pump&dump here. Now the creators just abandonded it and it became worthless
Not tethering up early 2018 thinking tether would colapse. Guess i was 1 year too early
Buying NEM at USD 0.4
Traded my soul for wealth, which I never got
Not buying bitcoin in 2012 even though something told me to.....
not stopping margin trading after i hit a million dollars during the bullrun

Bought bitcoin private at kucoin launch. Within the first dozen minutes.
Getting into crypto after 2017 and watching charts and reading stupid articles instead of focus on my sales career and making real money.
not selling zrx during the coinbase pump
selling 120k ada at 350 sats
Playing wow private server in August 2017 instead of buying bitcoin and eth how I was thinking about doing.
wew lad
listening on Jow Forums.
This is the one sleeper than bothers me. IF Charles can deliver and ADA goes up to 5$ per, as some moon boys speculate, I’ll have missed out on “new house” money.
The way the roadmap and things keep getting postponed, I think ethereum might get there first and dominate the market with serenity.
light's hope/elysium? hahaha i played vanilla wow private servers but still managed to make money with crypto. Stopped playing that shit a bit ago though and unJUST'ed myself
Sold almost 4000 BNB at $1 each. Literally days before it started the first big rise.
selling 4k BNB in January 2018
I chose not to go to an elite college because I was burned out on the education system back in high school. That was definitely a mistake.
jynx. who could've known CZ would be so based? I'm holding 2 other lowcap buy and burn projects now and will not sell til peak bullrun.
shit, if I had held BNB I'd be in the green right now.
Actually 3. Shit I really like buy and burn. Betting on infrastructure is beyond my technical abilities and seems like a crap shoot with the large number of platforms in existance (LIT, KMD, RFOX) but supply, demand, and scaricity; that I understand. And as long as the business is generating revenue, you have buy side pressure and scarcity increase. How does that not translate to capital gains in a bull run?
Yes. I put too much time into it while ignoring the opportunity in crypto. Waited until December to get in which was too late to make and keep gains.
not using a stop-loss
falling for the shills on this shit
Riding REQ from 5 cents to 1 dollar, holding and finally selling at 9 cents.
Joining UTK ICO. Selling the day it listed on KuCoin at ICO price. Three days later it did 10x.
Putting a substantial amount of money into policy pal at 5 cents only to get chinked by that asian whore.
I was all in Litecoin for months and sold it all at $58 in November a few days before it exploded. I sold it for ETP, and I was all in that. All throughout November and December I was holding ETP, waiting for it to pump but it never did. I missed all the gains of November 2017-January 2018 because I just so happened to be all in the one coin that did not budge. I was so focused on ETP and the community behind it that I lost sleep and didn't notice how much everything else pumped. I don't remember the insanity of December/January. I didn't pay it any attention.
Never all in one coin. Diversify.
buying investfeed after suppoman shilled it on youtube.
Not going balls in on ACI just after the 1:10 reversal.
traded my 170€ to 1200€ and now i have 350€
i now just peanuts but wtf
>bought ETH at $300

>I held
Remember: you will never go broke taking gains.
Sell 8000 ETH at $0,80
Arbing onto an exchange with a ridiculously high premium (quadrigacx)
Watch out, bitfinexers ...
giving someone my password so he could train my strength level. he stole pic related. that was when the cold hard world slapped me right in the face at age 11.
buying verge at 5 sats then selling at 9 sats
That shield was likely worth less than $0.1 USD. I think you learned that lesson early for a good price
ouch
Bought £650 worth of BTC on december 20th 2017 and held
Also this should be a lesson to invest in what you know.
I know lots of music head and verge was “the best” technically music quality wise but it was shit and no one liked it or used it. Don’t gamble anons
i was playing with less than £1000 of money during bullrun as i had no money unlike now i am a full time wageslave making products for mr mcdonald
damn son. ICX is such a joke projectm will go to zero.
I took a decent amount of profits from btc and eth on the way down at around 12k..... held all of my low cap moon shot alts tho worth 70k at the peak probably 12k now at best too scared to look
also bought link at ICO but only with £50 ish at the time, when i should have gone all in
you will be okay. We will go bull past 6k soon enough. Calling the bottom is a fools game
feel u
Went heavy into Vechain early June pre-mainnet expecting a pump. The dump began hours later and I'm still holding. Plan was to make a little profit and go all in LINK. Would probably have a nice 300-500k stack.
FOMOing into crypto in January 2018.
buying 0xBitcoin
protip: its a fucking scam token created by a bunch of miner faggots who need their legs broken

After reading this thread i have come to the conclusion that crypto and everyone involved is a scam. Thanks
Living off bitcoin for a year post 2014 bubble. Had 80 btc... would have made it if i just sat on them.
I did the same thing essentially... but 6k wasn't a bad bet. Hard to call the bottom mateo
listened to user-chan
youre right
everything in this space is a scam
useless coins mooning without any sense and shit with usecase etc bleeds to death
Damn that sucks. What you are into now?
Selling 1.7 million shares at .0315 to have it pump to .30 cents a few weeks later.
JUSTEDDD
Sold 2.000 btc in 13
I bought REQ and then AMB after.
You'd think I'd be utterly rekt by now, luckily I'm a good enough trader to minimize my losses. But I still lost 75%
bitmex nigger stole my 20k
Why not selling one million at .0315 and holding the rest just in case? Why do people have to sell EVERYTHING? Like these lads They could have kept like 1000 ETH and 100 BTC "just in case" and still have nice amounts of money. Why does everyone dump everything?
Depositing on Bitmex.
are you back in eth now
Not selling COSS top
Leverage trading on Bitmax
Doubling down on JNT
