I'm sorry this did no work for you. I'm assuming you bought Bitcoin during the Mt'gox fake bubble and now BTC has not gone back up? Myself i purely reinvested all the BTC i bought and got and it is working very well for me.

I hope you can find a way to make BTC work for you...

Have you considered doubling down and bitcoin cost averaging your position? You said you're down 50%, you could lower that percentage by buying bitcoin now at the 50% discount. Here's some math to help you think it through...

Hypothetical Initial Purchase: 2 bitcoins at $500 each (since you said you're down 50% right now).

Additional Purchase Option 1): Buy 2 more bitcoins at $245, total cost of your position of 4 bitcoins is $1490 and your total cost per 'coin drops to $372.50.

Additional Purchase Option 2): Buy 4 more bitcoins at $245, total cost of your position of 6 bitcoins is $1980 and your total cost per 'coin drops to $330.

Additional Purchase Option 3): Buy 10 more bitcoins at $245, total cost of your position of 12 bitcoins is $3450 and your total cost per 'coin drops to $287.50.

The real question is - do you think bitcoin will go up in value in the future? If so, you should "double down" and drop your cost to a level that you can break even on faster.

Every time I add to my Bitcoin stash I feel like it is one of the very best decision I can make in my life.

Bad that happened to you, personally I'm so glad that I knew Bitcoin in my life.

I mean, a lot of people have lost money in bitcoin if they invested during the peak price point (which I'm assuming you did)... but if you believe in what bitcoin is and what it brings, then why do you feel like it's the worst decision ever? Unless you just invested in bitcoin as a stock, and not a new way to transact currency to anyone anywhere in the world.. then yeah, you lost a good bit.  But every time I learn more about cryptocurrencies and the new things that are coming out that are making transacting a lot easier, it makes me feel a lot better about investing more into it.

But if you are convinced that this whole thing is a sham.. then I suggest you cash out immediately.

If you feel that way maybe it is best to just sell your coins, take your loss and be done with it. Just don't come back crying when you could've gained 100% or more on your initial investment next year.

My average buy in price is not too bad actually, and also, mining some altcoins like dogecoin in the early days covered some of my earlier high buy in losses.

Never buy at the top and everyone is talking about it.

At least not to hodl and hope the price rises.

Now for example would be a good time to buy because everything is quiet

i dont think so,if have a lot of money,its not worst. but i never bought some bitcoin because of that 

Worse decision of you WHOLE life? C'mon. Nobody is that boring.
Me, I'm still poking a toes in the waters of BTC, but its far form the WORSE decision in my whole life.
I mean once i enlisted in the military and didn't read the contract.
They didn't disclose everything in it anyways (or so i heard)
