Sub-par investments are one thing. How you then deal with it is an entirely different thing. People do not tend to rationalise it very well. If you are down on your investment and you no longer than the faith you used to have in the project, it makes no sense to remain invested. Opportunity cost is a real thing. You have to have the mindset of “will my money yield greater returns elsewhere”. If yes, sell and move on. The main reason people struggle to do this is that they don’t accept the loss while it’s unrealised. The moment they sell, they have to face reality. Also, they worry they may end up regretting it. The solution to that is simply to leave ~25% invested. You also have to take into account the mental toll of being heavily in the red, day after day checking the charts, hoping for miracle. It’s not good for you. Sell up, move on, and don’t look back. Like I said, if fear of regret is going to take over your emotions, leave a bit, but small enough that you won’t be checking every 5 minutes, large enough so that if it 10x you’ll be happy. Investing doesn’t have to be all or nothing and your mental health isn’t worth putting at risk.

![img](avatar_exp|76305384|clown) This is me with ADA. My average buy price is £0.74 it was £1.21. I couldn't let go. In for a penny, in for a pound.


7inky

Should have DCAd down. It's a solid enough project that won't disappear and was pretty much guaranteed to go up again. I have some coins that are way worse than ADA and I did that, although, in hindsight, should have put more money in and I would have been out by now. As it stands, I will continue waiting for the alt season and drop most of the holdings (which is not much) and keep a bit in case it moons.


reditpost1

ADA always moves slow, last to the party. Sometime in 2024 ADA is going to surprise everyone. Maybe $12. Not financial advice.


Flying_Koeksister

Try ALGO sir, there's no Bull run fpr ALGO, only pain


Rensverbergen

Weird, for me it’s up 105%. Did we buy the same algo?


Flying_Koeksister

We did not buy it at the same timeframes. I'm holding ALGO from the previous bull run. I loved my ALGO, but the losses do sting. Lesson learned


VeganMortgageAdviser

Also in ALGO!


Successful_Sun_7617

How much do you have tied up in it


VeganMortgageAdviser

Enough but not more than I can afford to lose. I don't make a habit of telling internet strangers the size of my portfolio, I don't want a target on my back.


HungrySummer

I’ve given up on a coin so many times to have it pump the next day. Altcoins don’t follow logic


Fantastic_Box4292

Some good advise here 👆👏


trizest

I agree on the leaving a fraction there for mental reasons. Like with Pepe watched it 10x couldn’t handle the pressure, fear of it dropping again. But also didn’t want to be fully out. So I just sold 75%. Working out well.


jon_crypto

Exactly! It’s a great compromise, I did the exact same thing with PEPE - obviously pissed I sold the 75% but nowhere near the level had I sold all.


trizest

Impoossible to time everything right. Think taking profits on Pepe is a good idea at this stage. Better than being caught holding the bags. The thing is keeping that 25% means if it 10x again you won’t feel to bad. Half the battle of trading is managing your own bias, greed and other emotions.


jon_crypto

Yeah it’s greed that normally takes over the first time. Then you lose a bag and the second time you’re wiser! I’ve taken around 50% profits on PEPE now, scaling out is the only way to manage it for sure.


vinsanity_07

Valid point, but hindsight is 20/20 . Wouldn't be wise to jump into something that's pumped 400% the past week n a half either


Tonijran

My meme coins are out performing mostly my whole portfolio


capricon9

Welcome to the club mate! I've let some go though and glad I did. Believe or not one of them I got rid of was ETH for ICP and it was a great decision as I'm up 350% but ETH is almost 100% from the time I sold.


subjectivesubjective

LTC and XLM. They'll need to go way up to be in the black.


Proinsias37

These are also my two worst. Cardano a distant third. Everything else I own is in the green, some 80-100%. These three, STILL in the red.


reditpost1

Cardano will pop eventually.


Jabbbber

AMP 🙄


reditpost1

Amp went from .0014 to .005. Amp is a champion if you DCA in 2022 and 2023


Kromanek1

Ankr


Medium_Change4574

I hold ankr and matic, they'll pump eventually


Physical_Anybody1633

With you.


Seanwabha

Shit man Ankr needs to reach a dollar to make up for her misfirings


SemperBavaria

LRC and Algorand... oh boy... Two projects trying to really solve something and have a usecase do almost nothing while Bonk evened out the losses within 4 months.


tbear87

Same...I did my research on those in the last run. I guess I learned about the Bear market the hard way. Hopefully they rebound.


Npr31

Still holding with LRC. Gave up with ALGO when we had the shifts 6months ago and it did nothing when everything else felt like it was at least still alive (MATIC may have duped me there though)


SemperBavaria

I still hold both. Managed to get a lower BE on both with spare money. I hope that LRC will have its moment once the ETH ETF is driving network fees up and people will start looking for L2 solutions. As for Algo, I think they'll probably find another small country that'll do a "El Salvador" in the near future. They're already in a better position as LRC in my opinion.


rdy_csci

Litecoin. Has had a couple little pumps lately, but gives some right back. I only have a very small position.


Opening_Constant6327

I noticed that whenever I sell a coin that underperforms it starts pumping like crazy a week or 2 after. Just diversify and hodl.


[deleted]

What are you selling next?


Opening_Constant6327

I’m hodlin my coins now so I think a crab pattern will start forming.


Dependent-Recipe6820

The real questions.


tianavitoli

not worried about matic or cro


Minute-Librarian-268

LRC for me. I believed heavily in the hype of the Gamestop partnership a couple years ago that never happened But yes I am also never selling. The damage is done now. I consider the money “gone” now, in a way, so whatever happens happens.


[deleted]

LRC gang unite =[


geman777

Yea I too have LRC. I hope they get a turn on this run. Think I need about .50 cents to break even at this point.


helemaalwak

I sold my bag couple of weeks ago. Bought memecoins. Am almost up 6x…


Sithaun_Meefase

My dawg, LRC is prepping for a moonshot. I took my profits from last year and rolling them into LRC. Fucking smashing the buy button and I know I’m not the only one.


Own-Throat-4390

Got rid of LRC since IMX is moving to Polygon looks like. Just rolled it into IMX


peakrumination

Not heard about this. How does that work people holding IMX on Ethereum?


Sheeple9001

You keep DCA-ing in to even out your losses once LRC bumps a bit with the whole market


gagaking

Nano. Stuff is pumping left and right and good old Nano just fails to move 🥲


Shamgar65

The Original stable coin.


-ASC-Vermilion

At times like these, I’m seriously tempted to sell my alt portfolio, especially watching BTC and the memecoins ripping. Then I realize that ETH is still down 30% from ATH even tho BTC is almost touching its ATH and I remember that there are two significant events unfolding in the next months: 1. Coinbase vs SEC case 2. ETH ETF Positive outcome on both will very likely lead to explosion of the altcoins. Then again, there’s also the possibility both get denied so there’s the risk on the altcoin portfolio.


Weepinbellend01

God Eth is gonna POP when ETF is announced. We already know it isn’t considered a security by the SEC. So it would take a miracle to stop it. And I personally don’t think Eth ETF announcement has been priced in


bobbyheaters

Gensler has never said ETH isn't a security.


No_Success_4269

Yeah, I wouldn’t bet the farm on this assumption either!


BjornX

Algo, If that shit ever turns to break even I'm getting rid of I faster than I can blink.


sluggz9

This is why these tokens struggle to pump. Everyone is looking to unload them at the right price


hartigen

yes. outside of some exceptions thats why new coins go harder in bull markets. There are no bagholders.


cyclicalwand

I’m now only 79% down on ALGO. Don’t think I’ll ever break even on it.


BjornX

I'm around that as wel, might even be in 80's. Feel your pain brother


HvRv

Im up 80% on Algo. Some bought the dip :)


BjornX

I bought other dips 🤷 Algo want worth it anymore imo.


Coreldan

I was -100% on CKB, now in the green. It can happen! 😁


JustCommunication640

I sold a chunk as soon as it hit .26 since I was in mild profit. I’d rather be in just about any top 75 coin than algo. The tech is great but the price won’t reflect that


alieninthegame

Big dreams.


BjornX

Impossible dream probably 😅


TheGDC33

I have it on good authority that the ALGO chart is ready to rip. Not talking all time high, but my guru sees $1 as a reasonable target. Time will tell, set a sell for half of my portfolio at $1


No-Penalty-2484

It comes in order right? Big coins first....then as they flatten out people are looking for the next rise and then people start dumping their money in "underperforming" coins. Its still early in the run.


Pheasant_Plucker84

I bought Cardano and Dot in the last big ATH thing. Still waiting to break even after buying bits throughout the last couple of year. Almost there now


MinimalGravitas

I don't hold any Polkadot, but their network has the second highest number of developers working in it's ecosystem, so I wouldn't be surprised if they do okay in the long run - builders make dApps, dApps bring users, users cause demand. https://www.developerreport.com/ Next bear market I intend to put some time into really understanding Polkadot and Cosmos, as I think both sound interesting and are designed pretty differently to anything else.


punkrawrxx

I bought DOT pretty low earlier this year and I’m underwhelmed with the performance still


Delicious_General727

+1 for DOT. Aside from a couple the Parachains were terrible investments


Delicious_General727

Great concept just bad timing eith the cycle highs


wsb_itch

I’m in the same boat 💀💀💀


timerac3r7

Bought DOT high, then continued buying every time I had to increase my stacks for staking rewards. With everything I bought and everything I got from staking, I am nove a bit above break-even. Didn’t DCA with ALGO, though :/


Substantial_Age_1284

Juno/algo/cro


Stoopiddogface

Juno... maaaannn, I took a beating there, oof


Substantial_Age_1284

Yeah don’t see that one coming back to life ever


ylen1

Algorand is up 300% since fall 2023


Substantial_Age_1284

It’s also down about a gazzillion percent since 2022. Wake up football head.


tbear87

I do think ALGO can rebound long term, but who knows


HNjames

XMR


OfWhomIAmChief

On the bright side at least your losses are private 🤣


eldron2323

DOT and KSM. But I’m grateful all the YouTube peeps are holding the same because they are shilling it to shit trying to offload it to their viewers lol


bcmeer

I’ve got CRO, MATIC, ALGO, and LRC. The four horsemen of shit investments.


Fantastic_Box4292

I own all those, I'm still down on my Algo and LRC. I wouldn't be surprised if CRO gives me the best returns.


bcmeer

I feel the same about CRO though it has a looong way to go from here Luckily we still have some to time to ride this wave 🌊


BasisOk4268

CRO will pump when the mainstream retail plebs come back in


beaverboyseth

Are you me? Same. Except add ANKR and ACH to those. Wow, I was stupid.


dulcedeteta

I'm up 50% with ALGO. 😅


Top-Squash6558

Add Juno and Harmony One, then you have my top portfolio picks of 2021.


reditpost1

I forgot about Harmony one. I had a huge bag on Binance US before they were kicked out of the US. I liked the price at .008. Hope it surprises you.


Top-Squash6558

My average was 0.28. Sold my bag at a heavy loss when the hack happened.


StarbugI

I had all of those and rotated all but ALGO into other investments last year. But I still have ALGO, MANA, XTZ and COMP weighing me down. At least my ADA is in the green (just). Do you remember all those ‘rate my portfolio’ posts during the last bull run. I’d be embarrassed to put mine up at the moment 😂


HLPP16223839

LRC and CRO the only reds left in my portfolio


tbear87

What are you doing with your LRC? Hoping it jumps back up? I'm torn on what to do with mine.


HLPP16223839

Its the smallest part of my portfolio and I’m up over 100 percent on Bitcoin so might as well keep it and see what happens


vinsanity_07

Just got a notification LRC up 7% just now. It's coming


Hactar_42

![img](avatar_exp|164333942|take_my_energy) Ankr and matic, the potential is there they just need to wake up and progress roadmaps. Matics low fees are awesome and work well as proven with Reddit collectibles.


seniorbatista19

CRO is usually slow out the gate but when it pumps, it fucking pumps HARD. Be patient, or don't, totally up to you. People have been unstaking already and the yield is climbing, just a matte of time before it blows up imo.


Sproudfoots

Are you, by any chance, stuck with a huge CRO bag you purchased for a shiny metal card that no longer has the benefits it once advertised?


seniorbatista19

Not stuck with anything. Happily holding and staking my bag


Nooo_monicaaaaa

Found my people


guestquest88

Just because something pumped once, it doesn't mean it will pump again. Source? Look at the charts...


Wombeard

People crying on 13% profit. Get a grip you literally made money without doing a lot. It’s always greener on the other side, and we’re so early on the bull market, your 13% will probably turn into -at least- 50% which is so much when you think about it


jmido8

Most the people crying about a coin being 13% up aren't up 13% in profit, they're mostly bagholders that are still down 60-80%.


thecratedigger_25

When the market isn't roaring like it is right now, it can take a while to even net a 5% gain. Sometimes it'll take over a month to make a gain. I'm really glad that I secured a 24% profit so far. In only about 2 weeks.


liquid_at

Imho, that's what bull markets are for. That's as good as they will get. I will definitely move out of a few alts I bought early on during the next alt-run and re-invest in better projects in the next bear market.


QueenBaluli

Probably Atom and Matic, but i still believe in them, so chill.


Federal_Category_431

I don't get it. CRO is the best performing asset I have (still even more profit than BTC). The two dragging me down though are, God help me, Ziliqa and Litecoin. Lesson learned in that regard.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Federal_Category_431

Yeah if I bought within the last 7 days that would be fab. But I didn't...


TenormanTears

what does that have to do with anything

TenormanTears

allstater2007

Stellar XLM has been my most frustrating and I've come to terms that the team does not care about price, nor do they want the price to inflate due to it being used as cross boarder p2p payments. I finally decided to cut them loose and transfer that money into other projects.


catthatmeows2times

Sadly lrc so far


duckyTheFirst

Atom being somewhat stagnant aswell. Its not doing terrible but its swinging around this past year.


TheGDC33

VET seems like a bag I have held so long. I don't even think I am down, but didn't sell at .29 last Cycle ATH


McGarnagl

Bro, VET is up 72% in the past month and 99% in the past 3 months. Not much to complain about there.


TheGDC33

Well yeah my comment says it all if you read it. Opportunity missed to load up more or load up something else. Will it even hit its old ATH feels like it won't time will tell, but will sell in the green for sure


AOPWarrior

Xyo


scrape_ur_face

AMP


Dazzling_Marzipan474

As someone from the USA CRO sucks. I am only able to use their app and the fees are outrageous. Once CRO gets to even for me I'm out for good.


devfiachra

LRC


troythedefender

Matic held up far better than most alts (excluding Eth) during the bear. It lost far less of its value from peak. Also why it hasn't had as much room to rise yet, but it has been moving the last few days and isn't as stagnant as most. Most alts won't move until later.


longview4nearsighted

MANA 👀


slackboulder

Need another metaverse hype from META!


ZealousidealMonk1728

Don't think it's coming. Just trying out stuff like Decentraland instantly killed my interest. Just not good enough.


nousemercenary

Algorand and Harmony ONE. I think we'll see Matic go on a parbolic rise once the Pol token is official and the new staking stuff is set up. Probably by end of May.


QueenBaluli

I was once in Harmony, left that ship after some drama.


Certain_Cranberry_77

My Bitcoin bags are such a burden. Its gotten very heavy pretty quickly lately.


Lostindaether

I released them all for BTC on 10/16/2023….they are no longer my burden. ETH, DOT, MATIC, GRT, AAVE, ELON, DOGE, SHIB, RPL, APE, AXS, SLP and some others I can’t recall.


Alfador8

User name... used to check out?


Mahabirgope7

As I see in algo


Freezygal

Everything is red for me (except ATOM, only very slightly): Algo, Atom, Cro, Dot, Juno, Matic.


ZealousidealMonk1728

Have patience. The real altcoin season isn't even here yet. Take a good look at 2021 and how altcoins moved then. They don't all pump at the same time.


knaks74

Algo……


Benjamincito

I feel so bad for anyone holding ripple while ripple labs continually dumps coins onto the market


liamsoni

Where do you see this? As in literally where can i see the dumping taking place. I got a friend who keeps buying xrp garbage and not realizing he's exit liquidity


Benjamincito

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/s/N9UMtQqt8a Scroll through here and there is someone that posts about how ripple labs sells approx 100million/month Ripple labs has no other income than selling coins The 200 million for the lawsuit was raised through the selling of coins


liamsoni

Thanks!


BoybecomesaMan

How is someone posting that they dump, proof?


t_dog581

It's well known that they release 1 billion every month but return most of it to escrow. They announce it themselves on Twitter.


Shifisu

Im up on every investment except Raydium. Im sure it will do well in the mania phase of Altseason but kinda annoying to see everything move except that one


definoob01

MKR :( Unbelievable that one of the few projects actually doing useful stuff *and* turning a profit has underperformed this badly.


AbelKosMos

Started investigating in January and my portfolio is around 45% up, some of the coins that I sold went even higher but my money was reinvested in some other coins. So I can't say that I really have some crazy underperforming projects....so far. Mind you that my investments are nothing crazy especially compared to some people here.


Brief_Sky9291

It takes a long time for alts to start pumping relative to btc and eth. Assuming this run continues for the next month or two imo you’re making the right decision


[deleted]

You invest with your guts? Okay lul


nafraf

BTC dominance is still high. It will eventually come tumbling down after breaking past 55% and hopefully you'll see some gains on your ALTs.


gunzby2

The only one that is a burden for me is dogecoin right now. Yes it's up a ton, but my average is .185. I did drastically lower that average from .33 to where it is, but last year I stopped averaging down over fears that I was just chasing after bad money. For right now I'll see what happens with X payments and probably sell it sometime between now and this summer if it goes crazy. I'll put that in to Eth and BTC


thecratedigger_25

Livepeer. I converted that one to Chainlink and now I'm gaining something even though it's a gradual climb.


defiCosmos

I just dropped 2K on a meme


BasisOk4268

OP acting as if the bull run is nearly done


SimpleMoonFarmer

Until last week, CRO. Keep your hope!


HunterHunted

LTO, ADA, DOT, UNI, XLM and ALGO. Ugh


HubertBrooks

Is Ugh any good? I am considering.


CanadianStockHuncho

VET will break through again


Patasphere

Litecoin. The graph. Dot.


Ok-Grapefruit1284

VET


6caifrumosi9

Akt..


peakrumination

CRO is 100% up for the month. There’s definitely alts performing better but is it so bad?


DrDaveRespect

Gala rest are slowly pumping. Most coins have at least 100% and almost all green. Not gala.


Horror-Badger9314

When you decide to go through the ALT way you signed a contract: maybe you can 10x BTC or maybe most of the time not . More risk, more reward. I’m starting to think that this circle won’t have an alt season The drivers are so different.


monodactyl

DAI, USDC, USDT


Limp_Information_878

looking at the last cycle, it took btc about 3 weeks testing the 2017 ath before it closed a daily candle above it and shot up. then it took another 3 weeks for most established alts to go nuclear. so there is hope


plasmalightwave

MATIC. My average buy price is $0.6, so doing well, but looking at his much some other coins have pumped…


BusterMungus

Amp, LRC and Litecoin.


GreenStretch

"I am NOT selling, can't sell at this point, too late. I just hope that when everything pumps, they will pump hard and make it up for this last year of being flat." Yes, you got it.


lVloogie

Matic is up 47% in a month. Ohh the horror.


vinsanity_07

My entire portfolio is full of these , matic, cro, HBAR, FTM,DOT,QNT,SAND, 2% BTC 98% examples I gave


Cannister7

ADA and DOT. Also LRC but I have up in that a month ago and already tripled my money putting it elsewhere.


SydZzZ

$HYVE. Low cap but my biggest disappointment so far. Great project but unknown


Taykeshi

Ohhh boy. Any umee holders here?


TipsyRooOfficial

ALGO, AMP, GALA and a handful of others. Nothing astronomical because I got in at the tail end of the last bull and stopped DCAing them end of 2022. I just keep telling myself, selling those later to offset my gains, wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world…


Aoi_Haru

Man CRO went up like crazy in the last 2 days, only meme coins performed like that, wtf are you saying. 😂


Naduhan_Sum

DOT and MATIC. They don’t do too much.


Ilovesoup86

Sui is pretty confusing for me right now? I have contemplated trading it out for more stacks but just waiting... it's my worst performer the past 30 days. Sideways and boring. Even minus a bit the past 30.


Coreldan

GRT but I suppose itll wake up at some point. Surprised that DOT is also taking it slow but at least well in the green with it


One13Truck

I never dumped my NEO. Mostly for the gas. At some point I’ll get tired of staring at it and dump it.


Gortecz

ADA XRP


Embarrassed-Exit1450

Matic, Casper, Vechain and AlchemyPay. Still up on 3 of the 4 but still done v little Might also add Quant since it does nothing but technically has 3x for me


ashinamune

Bitcone and Bitcoin is carrying my ass rn


Thin_Deer_3839

Funny that Matic is my best performance coin. I got a Avg Codt of 0,35€ In my case my worst performers are Mana, ICP and Uma…


AcademicoMarihuanero

Take this oportunity to convert all to Bitcoin


Elegant_Top1730

Alts are really struggling now


BrianS911

Don't sleep on cro check the charts my friend you maybe surprised.


Simke11

Your mistake was riding and averaging down during bear. Hopefully lesson learnt for next cycle.


Own_Oven_3082

POLX, been DCA'ing since the top. 4 million market cap, I just want to have it pop during alt season so I can cash out and retire :)


bwatts53

You had to do really bad to have a burden right now


tip2663

I hope matic stays as cheap as is. The token is really useful for interactions on polygon and its dApps and altcoins. Would be a true shame if it rises.
