That has been my experience too with many crypto coins. That is called your "entry" price. I came into steem at 0.30 and it went to 0.03 (and I reinvested)

Then I was waiting and watching. When it hit $7.00, I sold double my original investment and left the rest here to maintain my voting power.

If you wait long enough, you should be able to "exit" your investment at double what you put in. If you invest a bit now, you can exit that trade at 0.26 and double your money. I am doing the same.
