No doubt, there have so many investors as well as traders, who lost huge capital by cryto currencies especially on BTCUSD.

You still not get it
Last year in January you could have bought 1 BTC for 1,000 USD.
More precisely 966.19.
So even with the drop to $4,000 you could still have 300% profit....

So go back to last year and buy some BTC.

I still do not get your point.
The purpose of this thread is to better understand the risks involved with cryptocurrency, and why it is NOT a sound investment choice. So if a new trader is reading your post, how does that help them?
Sounds like subtle encouragement for them to buy BTC and HODL.
Sounds like you own some BTC yourself and are HODLing.
You need to disclose your conflict of interest.

I did not say I am bullish.
I said there is no need to panic.
As BTC is such volatile instrument it can lose 75% of its value and recover.
Is this your point?
Your post would be better suited to the following thread:

This thread is titled 'Reasons why you should NOT trade cryptocurrencies', and aims to 'share important information (especially th risks) related to cryptocurrencies that all investors/traders should be made aware of prior to their foray into this [emerging] market'.

You contradict yourself. Optimism toward recovery is 'bullish' to professional traders.

Very good point. BTC is just risky as hell. It is perfect for hindsight traders but trading it in real time is totally different

I was replying to your sentence.
...Gonna be awkward seeing relatives again this holiday season if you convinced them to buy crypto last year...
The point is if you bought BTC last year for 1,000 and sell today for 4,000 you still make 300% profit.
Do not try to make my answers reply to something else.

I gauss the price should be stable around 1.5-2K USD in near future.

I only see circular logic here: 'BTC will recover its losses because it has done so in the past.'
Ever heard the disclaimer: 'Past performance is no guarantee of future performance'?
Or consider why martingales always fail.
Markets do not follow such a creed, and BTC is no different.

Nope.
My point is that even BTCUSD drops to 4,000 you still make money if you buy it cheaper.
Whatever.

That is what I said in the beginning:

As with any ponzi scheme (BitCoin, ICO, or HYIP) the gains are only good in the beginning - but take your money and run before you get 'left holding the bag'.
It 'seemed' you were saying something different.
Glad we have come to a mutual understanding.

Is 200 MA really that important? I have tried adding it to my charts and I never really see any resistance around it. That is for Forex not crypto though
It depends what it does around that level ,say it spiked through it 50 pips, that could be a sign of reversal ,other factors need to be considered with it.

Forgive me for thinking you were saying something else.
I am a literal person and interpreted you as saying: 'don't jump ship' (ie. keep HODLing)
I am saying: take the profits (losses) before you get 'left holding the bag': https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagholder
(ie. before BTC / ETH / etc. become worthless - can I say such a 'profanity'?)
Each trader to their own perspective.

Already got a strong bounce from BTC up $1000 in a couple of days. Could be the start of a rally up to $20,000 again.
