BE HONEST: Who here would have believed last year that Bitcoin would be near 18,700 today ?? Everyone knows darn well that anyone correctly predicting such a price drop in bitcoin would have been ridiculed here in this forum. So stop the self delusion for a minute and consider that Bitcoin could still go FAR LOWER...
2. At what point do you sell your Bitcoin, Convert to cash, and wait to buy 20 times as many Bitcoin at a much lower price, say something like 1000 dollars ??
a few things to tell you.
A. when bitcoin goes to new ATH. it ALWAYS corrects back down
bitcoins ATH are not a point of sustained value where bitcoin should remain. the ATH are the temporary events that are high premium speculation bubble that pop and correct back down to value
B. value is not found at the top where the dip/correction is the surprise. value is found at the bottom where the ATH is the surprise
C. the new "bottom" aft a new ATH is a higher bottom than the previous bottom before the ATH
D. if you think that people selling today can buy back in at 20x less. you do not have a clue about the value cycles and the underlying value function..
E. the underlying value where NO ONE is stupid enough to sell below (the bottom of the bottom.. the non zero value. the no mans land that supports the market above that line.. has an actual thing supporting it)
f. that thing is the underlying most efficient method to acquire bitcoin where no one on the planet will get it for less.. which is the most efficient mining cost.
at the moment this sits at $15k. and by the next halving cycle will be more then $15k meaning the market orders above this amount will also be higher
ethereum for instance went into a change where the underlying cost of acquiring ethereum has taken a 20x drop.. so expect ethereum to do as you dream of having a 20x fall.. this is because PoS is alot cheaper to mint new coin..
but bitcoin is different. it has actual hard costs in its creation of new coin. people that cant afford to mine it. instead buy it. and so they are wiling to pay a premium(ontop of the underlying cheapest cost) to get it with the convenience of getting it without the effort and time of mining it. which makes the market above the underlying cost.
if you understand the things involved in price discovery. you would understand for bitcoin to drop 20x the underlying costs have to drop by that amount
.. remember the ATH are not the value/sustained price.. the ATH are the temporary events.
so calm down when you cry that you bought at a ATH and didnt realise that it was going to correct.
because now you have learned. you can take advantage of bitcoin now that its near the low. and cheap to buy. to be in the buying phase now..
so last point
G. buy low sell high.. dont buy high cry low.. bitcoin is at its LOW. not its high
