The rest of the world is already way ahead in chitcoin tech vs the US. The best we can do is hang on for dear life. I know we've got some non-US brahs in here. They can probably confirm.

So yes, you're right, if you're in a situation where your position has been decimated by that much, no point in getting out. Although you could argue jumping from an old rekt ****coin to a new ready to get pumped ****coin might salvage some of those losses. Easier said than done obviously. And anyone that's held on to something that's dropped 90% in value probably doesn't have the time or crypto trading wherewithal to pull that off.
But the key in what you said is that, if a ****coin goes down 20%, take the damn L and move on. Or at least have a specific number in mind that will trigger you to sell.

Also fundamental analysis does matter. You are playing a different game. Someone like Buffet would tell you that theres a difference between value investing and following the crowd. You can do whatever you want but I've been here long enough to see rug pull after rug pull of assets already built on top of shaky code.

Dude fundamental analysis does not apply to 99% of crypto stuff. Most of us are speculating here...
Buffet invests in company stocks which change the real world , not pump and dumps started by scamsters like justin sun.

Those who invested in the dominant narratives and found relevant projects early at the time have enjoyed untold fortunes.
1. The base layer infrastructure era (ETH, antshares, NEM, EOS, IOTA, Qtum, Lisk, HOLO, XRB). Most of those did 50-1000x+.
2. Interoperability era (ICON, Aion, Wanchain, Fusion, Cosmos, Polkadot). Most of those did 10x+, ICON was probably 300x at one point.
3. Scaling solutions era (Zilliqa, Quarkchain, Raiden, OMG). 6x - 50x gains
4. DeFi era (MKR, Synthetix - 100x+, Aave - 100x+ , YFI - 1000x, Ren - 20x, Kyber - 17x, Bancor - 5x, Loopring - 9x, Chainlink - 8x). Even scams marketing themselves as DeFi have mooned out of control (Ampleforth - 100x, YAM, Statera - 100x)
Most narratives come to an end, the only thing that has really lasted is Bitcoin. Also I'm still strongly inclined to believe fundamental analysis works, people either make decisions on poor info or they don't have the mental inclination needed to assess tech at the bleeding edge.

1. Active investing (market timing and stock picking e.g. through fundamental analysis) on avarage performs worse than passive investing due to higher costs alone (Sharpe‘s law).
2. Future outperformers cannot be identified by their past performance, as proven by countless studies.
Due to lack of regulation, there are a lot of absolute s**t coins in crypto. That‘s where you can have an advantage compared to stocks, simply by avoiding those.

SXP retraced more than I expected (I bought back in a little too early at $3.3) but I think we good now, breaking the resistance on both SXP/BTC and SXP/USDT and FA is very bullish

And even using the example you gave, advocating to hold a bag that's been in sideways action for damn near 3 years because it spiked recently isn't sound advice. And it's not even close to the ATH that I'm sure many (if not most) of the OMG hodlers right now got in at. Just makes no sense to tie up your funds like that for years without any returns or ability to take advantage of new opportunities. But whatever, hodl away.

This is exactly what is going to happen:
All alts will get their satoshi pump. These pumps will be fueled by the "DeFi" bubble, and soon the "DOT" coins bubbles (load up on some if you don't have any, wink wink KULUPU dyor).
Then at some point, BTC is going to get some "China bans Bitcoin" fud. Maybe USA bans Bitcoin. Alts will be near their ATH or a bit lower in satoshi values (including the "bad" portfolio), they will start bleeding hard.
Then, magically, talks of a "BTC ETF" will appear in 2021, and a new parabolic (and in my opinion the final one) run will start.
That narrative is already at play here. If you aren't seeing these uniswap coins with no whitepapers and just a website doing 10000% a day, and you don't realize an irrational bull market has just started, then I don't know what you are doing.

Considering the conflicting reports i'm reading of "crash vs moon after labor day", I thought i'd post this here as a bookmark to reference after. Just to compare market cap and 24hr volume.

Innovated by private companies, but in the end it will still be controlled by the fed - giving them more control on money than ever before. They definitely won't be using XRP - most likely will start their own fed coin.

You don't think Zuckerberg was on his knees pleading to work something out with his Libra project with the blessing of the US government? That **** got shutdown quick. Investors fled when they saw that it would be impossible to get regulatory approval.
