As I am writing this thread, Bitcoin is now almost arriving at the $5,000 mark...it is exactly $4946.87 with a market capitalization of $81,813,250,499, circulating supply of 16,538,387 BTC and volume of $2,722,280,000 (taken from CoinmarketCap.com).
It is now very, very possible that it can be breaching the $5,000 wall anytime now...though a correction is also possible after getting into that level...though I am hoping it can continue rising into the $5,200 vicinity or even more. And it is not just Bitcoin but also other top cryptos like Ethereum, Monero, BitcoinCash and my little darling BitconnectCoin or BCC.
Are you happy with this tide rising?
The correction has brought us down. We were pretty close to breaching the $5000 level, but unfortunately traders seemed to not like the price level and cashed out prematurely leaving us hanging
I'm definitely happy, but this presents risks in holding any amount of bitcoin. It could go up again, yes. But then you never know when it is going to go down and by how much. This is extremely risky stuff.
Pretty scary stuff I should say, or maybe I'm not really used to seeing bitcoin hit this large gains in a single day, or any stocks or asset in my life. Though it's good seeing bitcoin hit record highs everyday, the question is when would it be placed when the fuel already runs out. India, SoKor and Japan are the primary drivers of this tide.
When would they dump to collect profits? That's really tricky and intriguing to me.
This is exactly what i'm concerned about. I'd rather btc be more stable than pumping all the time.
