Yes, just hold.
My biggest mistake last year was reaction like trading to corrections like we see today. Had I just held my portfolio would been closer to $10m at the minute.
I still can't believe I used be on page 20 of the largest holders of Litecoin and then sold the majority of it at $70. Idiot. Rich idiot. But still, idiot."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Go for it.
Perhaps the Chinese new year is the culprit, not news, for the sell off. Have look at this, although it's from some random chap on reddit. I've confirmed the chart back to 2014 and the same sell off in Mid January seems to be a recurring theme having peaked at the New-Year. It's a safe bet alt coins will accumulate and grow during the BTC downturn.
We should all put a note in our diaries for December 31st!!

The % moves are astonishing for assets with a market cap of tens of $billions ($100bn in the case of ETH and $200bn for BTC).Originally posted by northernladuk View Post
They're the size of vast corporations and yet they behave like penny stocks.
I don't know of any other markets, of this size, which exhibit such extreme volatility.Comment
