The first time I bought bitcoin in early 2014, I had to wait all of 2014, 2015, 2016 and half of 2017 until I was in profit again.

I was able to do that because luckily (or rather unfortunately looking back) it wasn't a large amount.

I think it will be similar to then. It's going to be all of 2018, 2019, and most of 2020 until things go up. It also correletes to the halvening of bitcoin in May 2020 or so.

Obviously things are quite more manipulated than back then. Futures really fucked things up... Just look at the endless barts.

Anyway, the point is that this time I'm not going to miss out... I'm prepared to wait another 3 or 5 years and slowly get some of the coins I like, nano being one of those.

So unless you are ready to wait a long time, with the fact that it may never happen in mind, then you should probably get into the stock market or buy some land or something.
