I stacked in pretty hard when the overall market cap dropped to US$100b. At this point, I've taken about a 20% overall hit and a 6% hit on additional investments since last night (Aussie time)......or have I. No, because I haven't sold anything.
It is important to remember that the market will likely go up AND down from the point you buy or sell. It is almost impossible (unless you are ) to pick exact tops and bottoms of any market. Over a long enough time frame you will more than likely be right and wrong.
The best piece of advice I can give to any newbie is NEVER SELL AT A LOSS. This might sound stupid, but I personally believe that holding until you hit profit is the best way to show consistent returns, and even hope for a correction so you can accumulate more coins.
So if like me, you did this week's budget a little early (no buying for me until Thursday now). Don't stress. Go for a surf, take a walk, catch up with a friend or family, do something kind for a stranger. Because market confidence will return, when I can't say, but blockchain tech is here to stay!
