You convinced me that crypto was the “next big thing”, the “next industrial revolution” and the “evolution of currency”. You convinced me that this was an opportunity I couldn’t miss out on, that I had to buy in before it booms.
So I invested almost 30% of my net worth, and now it’s all crumbling away right before my eyes. I can literally watch my money burn away in real time. All because I listened to /biz/ and bought into your shill propaganda.

I know the feeling man, thankfully I only threw about 700 bucks in. i'm convinced that a lot of the portfolios here are heavily edited, usually to promote some shitcoin or another by association with a lucrative folio. recommend accepting the loss as best as you can, leaving a little in and cashing the rest

Same as 2017, if you hold now for 3 years you will double your money.

People have been talking about and making money from stocks for like a hundred years now. It's all about identifying patterns and milking them for all their fucking worth. The chance to see bitcoin as an investment in its infancy and invest large enough amounts of money and hold it long enough to see adoption and recieve a life changing sum is, while commendable, very lucky as you were in the right place at the right time with the right mindset. Venture capital firms throw billions of dollars at new startups just for the chance to get in on the ground floor of those in a million businesses with growth like bitcoin.

The entirety of my savings (£50k) is all in on Crypto. Am I being a retard? I'm only 19, therefore this risk tolerance seems sensible, I'm not entirely sure desu

that's what you get for buying high. If you care about a dump like this you will never make it. Leave your wallet alone and come back in a couple of years to insane wealth. Or not, depends what you bought

This but unironically. People are actual retards and think "NUMBER GO DOWN" in the short term is a loss.

So is there any chance that any other coin (that isn’t ETH) could see the explosion that BTC did? People who held 200 BTC for 10 years are now millionaires. Is there any chance of that with other coins?

Depends. There certainly are other coins that will be big, maybe not as big though. I think the industry is almost too synonymous with bitcoin still, ETH doesn't even have the cultural pull bitcoin does. If any single other coin caught mainstream adoption bitcoin has then I might be more bullish on the rest of the industry.

This is not good. That is a fat stack to have at 19, and you are throwing it all in a high volatility market.
Why don't you put a portion of it into crypto, see how it goes, and then reinvest your profits - or minimize your losses?

Unironically Doge. It has held steady for half a decade besides occasional surges. Buy it at .002, put 75% in a staggered sell order for .004,..006, .008. .01 and .015 at 20/30/30/20 percent and then buy more when it goes back to .002.
Repeat for the rest of your life and you will 4-5x every year.

It’s called pump and dump. Hype from those already in. The consequence is the public doesn’t see crypto as a currency any longer given Jamal can create a new one tonight, and that no seller wants to receive crypto cause they can lose half of it in an instant. The greed turned it into a high risk speculation scheme, hoping more investors keep doing what you did.

Morons like you and OP are the types people who spent most of their times in dread and self-pity, then read or hear about something you don't understand and FOMO in hoping to get rich quick. I know people IRL who are like this. One guy I know just quit his job to do crypto full time... at ATH.
Crypto is something you do long term. You do your research, buy in, hold long enough, tolerate the dips and sell early enough to take a profit. You will never time the market right. You cannot play this game without having regrets. /biz/ is full with people who buy Uniswap garbage and then rage when it dumps.
Jesus ... /biz/ should do a wealth check before people are allowed to post. You could have bought BTC at $1, $10, $100, $200, $600, $1'200, $8'000, $15'000, $25'000...

I'm also a newfag with FOMO but I'm not just going to dump my life savings in at ATH like an idiot. I will probably wait until BTC and ETH bottom out and buy in the HODL for a few years until the next bull, and maybe throw a little bit into shitcoins just for fun. Please tell me if this is also stupid.
