ITT: your biggest crypto mistakes

Date: January 7th, 2018 12:15 PM Author: peach vigorous parlour personal credit line Edit: preferably list positive acts & not “not buying in when BTC was $0.01”-style omissions
My top five:
1. not selling BAT @ 3x & Myst @ 5x, coveting more gains throughout their moons and eventually getting out of each at break-even. 2. constantly adding to my SONM bags as it kept tanking, all the while deluding myself that Bittrex was imminent. Sold at a 70% loss. (Congrats to SONMbros though—always liked the project!) 3. getting way too greedy on bitmex. Longed the top just after BTC broke 10k, and terribly mismanaged the bet after that initial flub. Lost 7.4 btc in one trade. This one stung the worst. 4. returning to bitmex afterwards, getting greedy again and making another very marginal bet. Could have cut my losses on this one at 0.2 btc. Instead, I lost another 2.3 btc. Permanently quit bitmex after this. 5. Putting 40 eth into Cryptomus’ ICO, and using 625 gwei to get in. Not only was I the first contributor, but among the three biggest too. Just lol. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3852136&forum_id=7#35101917) |

Date: January 7th, 2018 12:26 PM Author: soul-stirring nibblets main people 1) Also missed the MYST moon. Watched it hit $5 in real time. Finally sold that a few days ago for $1.98.
2) Selling Status because it didn't moon hard enough after ICO. It's now up 12x from where I sold.
3) Not buying $10,000 of ETH when it dropped to $165. I had Coinbase open, and got greedy and waited for it to drop further.
Not sure I could have changed these without a crystal ball though. I generally wish I'd recognized the hyuuge opportunity for ALT coins sooner. (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3852136&forum_id=7#35101968) |

Selling all 5.5 of my BTC in the spring last year (for small $3.5k profit) because I found it too stressful.. I was a no-coiner until 5 weeks ago and was <1k profit until I discovered binance 3 weeks ago...now i'm at $220K profit.
Not riding Verge wave early
Ignoring Peterman/ETH thread early last year

KMD. Lost tens of thousands. And if I just held I would have made so much.
Losing faith in ETH.
So many moons I chased that led to tens of thousands of dollars in losses.

Date: January 7th, 2018 12:46 PM Author: Sienna submissive institution gaping EASY. buying 950k of xvg at 5 cents with the intent to sell at 31 cents. i got greedy and holdcucked until i gave up and sold at roughly 16 cents. sooooo much value lost.
selling cardano at 60 cents because i figured anything higher would make its market cap unsustainably high. i failed to realize this is a retarded market that doesn’t trade on anything resembling fundamentals. fuck my life.
these two mistakes have cost me well over a million dollars i think. excuse while i hang myself now (https://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3852136&forum_id=7#35102082) |
