RE: Fortune Favours the Brave - Crypto-Blood Everywhere!! Except maybe Ripple
I am in exactly the same boat... I've actually made 3 purchases through Coinbase only to have all 3 BTC, LTC and ETH fall further still since... and I've done exactly the same... closed all the tabs and I'm just not looking at anything. If I lose everything, it's not the best, but it's totally not a big deal.
I actually came into the crypto market when segwit2x was cancelled and the market was every similar to how it is now... BCH and BTC acting all unusually and everyone freakin' out... so I'll assume it'll have a similar result and will just hold tight.
I think you're right in your other comment... I think eventually BTC will be about 25% of the market... I kinda look at it as AOL... but I'm still sure the price will rise from where it is... it is the most famous limited coin after all.
I think you've done well with LTC and ETH, and who knows... BTC may bounce straight back up again, but there's no telling how long.
BTC will always have a good share of the market, but it won't be as far above the other coins in terms of value. I recon the gap is going to close fairly rapidly as the others rise, and BTC may move down slowly to meet them. That could still be years away though. I may also be completely wrong.
Hahaha, we all might be right, or completely wrong, or kinda right.
I couldn't believe it this morning then the crypto pages are just full of double-figures red negatives, even Ripple is down. The whole market cap is down $150Bish from pre-BCH/GDAX... which I kind of expected given going into Christmas... I'm sure most traders would have taken their money out completely and taken a couple of weeks off regardless of how well the market is doing.
I'm not stressed in the slightest.. the actual value of our coins hasn't changed, just the fiat pairing... and who'll care about that in the next few decades?
