Bagholder
Someone who bought a cryptocurrency at a high price and is now stuck holding it while the price drops far below what they paid.
Bagholders often buy at the top because of excitement or fear of missing out. Some coins recover, but many never do. Experienced traders cut losses early instead of hoping forever. It's a common part of learning crypto.It's like buying a concert ticket for $200 and then watching the artist cancel the show — you're left with the ticket and a big loss.
Real world: A trader buys a meme coin at its peak during the hype, the price crashes, and they hold for months hoping it comes back, becoming the 'bagholder'.
💡 Nobody wants to be a bagholder — set a stop-loss or sell plan before buying, and remember it's okay to take a small loss instead of watching it go to zero.
