This is an interesting point. This value is all speculative until the it's resolved by conversion to another currency. The entirety of my LTC holdings are from mining coins, trading out to USD before it dropped, then 'buying' in again. I ended up with around five hundred bucks worth, mostly due to just smart trading, costing me nothing.
The value has recently dropped, and I'm sad that I didn't cash out before, but I didn't actually lose anything. I'm still up the entire value of my portfolio, I'm just not up as much as I was before (and could have cashed out at).
I do feel bad for the people who bought in and then lost it all.
