from the first day that i started with bitcoin whenever the market becomes absolutely unpredictable because of massive manipulation, i simply stay away from the market and let the manipulation to stop and the market to become more predictable.
i am going to continue doing that now too because currently there is no logic anymore and this drop is 100% manipulation and staying away is the best option.

now staying away can mean different things for different people. it may be selling and staying in fiat until shenanigans are over (which may be best for newcomers) or it can mean pulling my bitcoins out of the market and to cold storage until it is over (which is best for those who have been around enough time to know better that these manipulations aren't going to last forever).

Hold yes of course. and buy. I'm gonna buy about $50k of Bitcoin in early 2019 (and might pick up half a bitcoin soon if it keeps dropping under $4k).

This is the absolute worst time to sell, so yeah holding is best, and accumulating more bitcoin.

And what if Bitcoin stays under 2k€ for years, could you hodl?

The recovery after the crash dec 2013 took years.

It took two years.

And it started going up like 9 months after hitting $200. So if this is like the last drop in early 2015 that took it down to under $200 then even if it took as long as the last crash it did not take years, as quartzz says, by next Fall price would be going up steadily. It took two years for the price to 100x, haha, I think people can live with that (though if 3000-4000 is the bottom this time it'll probably be like 30x instead of 100x i think this time...still ain't bad!)

Bitcoin is heading toward $3000 as Chinese keep selling off. I think we should not join this great dump because in some days to come bitcoin is going to recover. The same rate it fall the same rate it will take up. I am adopting holding policies. I am not going to sell now.

If that would be your premonitions mate, I guess it will be possible but for the long run being active with crypto it will recover back to peak price. The surges from past price increase will be achieved again, and will provide everybody a sustainable benefit.

I do what I always do, which is dollar cost average my entry points. It feels way better doing it on the way down because it makes your fiat for once buy worthwhile amounts of Bitcoin instead of the usual small chunks.

I think that you at all times should have an open mind and a conservative stance when it comes to crypto, because I always had in mind that the $6000 mark wasn't anything special even though it held well for the most part.

I really feel bad for those seeing their bags lose more value day after day. It's true that people are responsible for their own actions, but you can't do anything other than feeling sorry for what they go through. No one deserves this.

This hodling nonsense is the biggest mistake anyone has made. People should have taken some profit when they could and not held and held and held while Bitcoin goes down and down and down. And then held and held till it goes down further. They needed to take some profit when the going was good and not this mad stampede panic selling when it's crashing. Or holding on till the bitter end.

I made a profit in the initial bear run.
$70 is good enough for me. But when I don’t think I’m going to be good at predicting the price as I have been. Then I’ll hold.

This bear market is taking too long to recover, and this current dip was so swift — caught me unaware. Right now, there is no point selling my bloody bags. Hodling until further notice.

Well, that is the bad thing about working for bitcoin. I am holding as much as I can afford to but I also need to cash out some bitcoins because I need money to live. The sad part is when I make a certain amount of money for working, I am actually making way less than I should have, I get paid a certain amount for all the work I do but when bitcoin goes down all my work becomes cheaper all of a sudden, which results with me having less money to spend on stuff and that leaves me with a lot less bitcoins saved up aside as well.

Right now, I have a lot of bitcoin compared to what I used to have because I got paid when the bitcoin prices went down, but even with more bitcoin than I used to have I have less fiat than I used to have as well. It is a weird spot to be on but I will never sell the bitcoins I do not need.

HOLD is the best option in this ultimate dip because what is the point of selling it low now when we have already lose big? So better if we keep on holding specially if you are holding Bitcoin as it was in this market difficulties for so many times before and i see it keeps on bouncing back after it crashes.

Same here, it would be dumb to panic now because there will be halvening in 2020, which had previously came together will bull runs. Add some protocol improvements and stuff like Lightning, and you have a recipe for a new bull run. A lot of people currently regret not selling earlier, but Bitcoin could have just as easily changed its trend at any time, and then they would be in a loss just like now. Hodling is safe, you just need to make a good exit/partial exit strategy.

I can not imagine a better time to buy crypto than the present moment. Everyone is starting to panic and the whole market is bleeding. I am sure that if not in a week, then in a month or even three who are now investing will earn a lot of money.

you're probably right, definitely has that feel. shit I'm starting to feel that it will never get above 10k ever again.

Do not go under such depression that it cannot rise. Consider it when btc was in 100 or 1000$ it can rise form their till 18k so why not from 4500$ it can travel to 10k? It is easy it is just a matter of some time and some selling happening which is causing more pain. But hold tight and buy on the dips.

You mean BTC? I'm more that sure that in 2020 or even earlier BTC price will cross $10k probably few times.. Question is how fast border of $10k will jump over Ethereum..? Lets hope it will be in 2019

To be fair most of the stuff put together during 2014 sounded incredible but didn't amount to much. Plenty of it disappeared without a squeak, 21.co, Buttercoin, Circle's BTC retail.

This time around it's an order of magnitude more heavyweight. You don't get any bigger than stuff like Bakkt though I fully expect it to launch to overwhelming indifference.

Yeah, but I think it is just the activity that matters. Know what you mean about Bakkt, exactly how I feel.

This was the case in 2014/15. I remember reading the crypto news and hearing a lot about further investment etc constantly, but was dismayed that the price didn't react. I hoping the same happens this time. Development of LN will hopefully help too.

I will hodl, as I always have, and I will keep buying small amounts every pay.

Doesn't mean I have to like it though.

My sell price is 40k, no more than 50% of my current holdings will ever be sold. I believe in BTC for the long-term, even in these dark times, with my doubt growing.

2k is better than 0.2k.

We’re heading towards quite a nice resistance zone at the moment. If we fall through it though, we don’t fall that far...

I came to the conclusion that I want to buy and also want to sell, so I’ve decided to hodl.

I’ve profited $80 from the bear market over the past few months, I’m happy with that and have no idea where it’s going to go now.

The worst we can do is level off. Second worse is going up in my opinion. I think we’ll just be dragged down further at some point.

I think we’re near a limit but I’d like us to lose another few hundred bucks, go into being drastically over sold and then... BULL RUN! (Ok maybe it won’t be the big $20000-$40000 one, but it’s a start at least).
