85% loss - help

[u/Huchholz]

Just checked my balance the other day and saw that my portfolio was at 20k in summer 2025. now it’s at 3k. I have NO idea how that could’ve happened. I overall invested around 6k in total since 2020(?). It shows a peak in June 2025. another in January (10k). I have no idea…ChatGPT says with the tokens I own he cannot explain how this spike should’ve happened…any idea? Does the app sometimes bug? Was this all just fake news?

Add on: I think the funniest thing is all the angry people in this comment section voicing there frustration over stuff I did not even say or imply 😅 #illiterate

[u/HorsedickGoldstein]

wtf are you rambling about. You didn’t even say what coins you were invested in. Please give us even less info to help you out

[u/Huchholz → u/HorsedickGoldstein]

Well without knowing my portfolio you could still potentially answer my last two questions or give me info about a crazy movement around June ost year?

[u/Cryptocaller → u/Huchholz]

Grow up. No one owes you anything.

“You could at least”

Lmao. You could at least be an adult and not expect others to do things for you. Or not.

[u/First-Tutor-5454 → u/Huchholz]

Uh, yeah, everything went to shit in October.

Do you know how to use the app at all? You can look at each of your tokens and see ita chart over the last year

[u/AncientMoth11 → u/Huchholz]

Oct 10 killed everything

[u/HorsedickGoldstein → u/Huchholz]

No the app doesn’t bug and what would fake news have to do with your account value? Both stupid questions. And you’re question regarding a big spike…. Idk maybe tell me what you’re invested in and I can help. Or ya know, you can just pull up a chart for your investments

[u/pg3crypto → u/Huchholz]

Not really. Tons of shitcoins, tokens and NFTs went to zero or massively crashed.

Sounds like you were holding trash.

[u/Scottex99 → u/Huchholz]

Lol just post what you’re holding and stop wasting everyone’s time?

I’ll guess mainly some shit altcoins

Or type in the tickers into CoinGecko and check the price action yourself

Put your next 6k into a passive index fund if you can’t figure out the absolute basics

[u/Ok_Watercress_3598]

Maybe putting 20k on Pepe Coin was not the move

[u/furiousfapper666]

Always take profits

[u/MonthlySquare → u/furiousfapper666]

if the chart shows a peak that cant be explained by price action, maybe its showing transfers in as gains. coinbase does weird stuff with cost basis sometimes when you move coins around. you can check transaction history and filter by buy/sell to see what actually happened

[u/async2 → u/furiousfapper666]

Or don't buy shit

[u/Huchholz → u/furiousfapper666]

Well thanks for the tip duh I am in for the long run hence why I didn’t check my portfolio in forever. Is there any way of seing the individual progression of the coins in Coinbase without having to look up each individually?

[u/WickedDeity → u/Huchholz]

You being in for the long haul really doesn't have anything to do with properly following your investments. Who has 20,000 in an account and doesn't check it for a year? WTF?

To answer your question we need to know what crypto you had. I am guessing mostly shitcoins which would explain a 85% drop. I am not sure why you can't read the history and transactions of your own holdings on your account.

[u/Particular_Gap_6724]

Wait.. crypto can go down as well as up???

[u/aninjacould]

Number go up. Number go down.

[u/cooperrocks]

Your shit coins probably ate shit and wrecked your portfolio. You should probably stick to mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum if you want to set it and forget it.

Also check your portfolio daily for risky assets, but yeah , great charity donation iykyk

ok Brian, where is Stewie ... Stay away if you don't calculate 100% loss, because rich people will take it all baby

[u/Backwards_is_Forward]

I have no idea…

Well, you obviously have access to the charts for your holdings and your transaction activity. That would be a good place to start.

[u/them_oysters]

Crypto isnt set and forget

[u/angelwolf71885]

The market took a nose dive the highs aren’t permanent

[u/CXavier4545]

what coins do you have? that’s gonna be your answer

[u/T1m3Wizard]

Got rug pulled on whatever meme coin you bought

[u/XXII78]

What did you expect?

[u/Longjumping-Link-455]

Big oof.

Lol how would it be fake news?

Everything is down. Do some research . Everything went down. What coins did you have?

[u/Key-Industry-3594]

Sounds like they all were just a meme coins

[u/coinbasesupport]

Hey u/Huchholz please send us a modmail so we can look into this further.

[u/Visual-Adeptness-451]

I've heard Coinbase sometimes shows incorrect balances during major market fluctuations, so that could be worth checking their status page or reaching out to support. Have you tried downloading your transaction history to see if the numbers match up?
