![koi-fish-1868779_1920.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQq7H4ZjWUfZFrVXY3SmJo5cPmTMEud9GwsxLokf9oCCs/koi-fish-1868779_1920.jpg) I read an article recently by Rok-Sivante about how he’s been watching virtually all of his portfolio wiped off since the recently slide in the value of crypto currency. There was a hint of regret by not cashing out a little during the boom periods of December/January. It made me realize what a nervous breakdown the major investors must be having at this point. It must be difficult not to rue ‘missed chances’ to cash out and enjoy crazy profits, with many even being subjects of ridicule among peers at this point. For a new player like myself the slide produces mixed reactions in the sense that I hold no major stake and see this as the perfect opportunity to invest. On steemit in particular, some middle level stakeholders have withdrawn from active participation because of the prices. Even those who continue to harbor faith in the process and encourage others not to power down – must have some doubts of their own. I believe encouraging others is the best way to assure oneself, but that doesn’t mean the fear doesn’t linger. The fear that things may not get better, and that HODLers may look like fools at the end of it all. I imagine what I would have done if I were in their shoes. I cannot say for sure If I’d take profits during the highs because I try to plan long-term, but I am also aware of the risky nature of cryptic investments. If I had my portfolio wiped off too, I would probably be discouraged all together or at least lament my losses with each chance I get. Notwithstanding there are some HODLers who have remained upbeat through it all, especially here on steemit. Despite some losses, they remain resolute to keep growth constant in anticipation of a massive rebound. These ones are more concerned than what gains could be made in the short term. Quite frankly, these are the people I hold the deepest admiration for because they believe in the potential of their investments. A lot of us came into crypto not because if what it is, but what it can become. When you have that mindset, it is a lot easier to go through the seasons like this because the potential is still largely unexplored. When it finally begins to manifest, those who made sacrifices today will surely be rewarded. Don’t rue a missed corner when the World could be at your feet.

It's not my job to worry over big investors, but for small holders like me and you powering down at this moment would be dumb, indeed. I have invested too much time in this platform so I cannot exchange that for peanuts... I had no idea about cryptos before joining Steemit, but I guess hodlers are like a sect - we believe in going to the moon no matter what...

There is no pain. Just little imagination.

The only reason I even have an interest in crypto is because of steem. It was a way to play around with crypto and learn a bit about it without actually risking any fiat. You've just reminded me I wanted to figure out if I can change some of the Byteballs to steem and power that up.

I’ve lost around 80% of my value. I’m still holding because financially I’ve no worries with that money so I can leave it for the next bull run and hopefully il sell and buy into projects I use such as this one . It’s not good looking at blockfolio everyday. I bought 1000 coss at 1.30. It’s 6 cent now . But I just went off and purchased 14000 more so when it does hit again, it could mean great things. Feck it. You win some you lose some . Hindsight is a great thing. If I see Charlie lee selling next time I will follow suit

I always encourage people not to rely totally on crypto, am glad you don't. It has massive potential but we shouldn't have it as an only op
