12 thousand isn't such a big news. We went higher than this in 2019 and quickly corrected below 10 thousand. What makes you think this time it's going to be any different?
We are no longer in 2019.
We are over a year after that 2019 pumpening that had gone from about $4,200 to $13,880 within about 3 months.
If you believe that the same thing is going to happen, you are failing or refusing to recognize significant aspects of bitcoin, whether we are referring to cycles, supply/demand fundamentals, networking effects or other factors.
If the hashrate and the short term price are the only reasons you choose to invest in Bitcoin you are doing it wrong.
hashrate is a decently strong fundamental, too.. but surely, it is not the only consideration to account for.
What are you doing pixie85? You selling and expecting to buy back lower?
You anticipating a drop to sub $7k or maybe lower - which would surely be reachable if you believe that this time is not different than 2019?
If you are merely waiting for sub $10k prices, then of course, we are both within striking distance of sub $10k and you might have some decent odds of reaching sub $10k,,, maybe 40% or higher, but hopefully you have also prepared for UP... it is dangerous to only prepare for one BTC price direction, especially when we are quite likely in a decently strong bull market.. under quantify "strong" to your peril.
I'll also add that if you didn't buy at 5,6,7,8,9 thousand and are buying now because it's near 12 you are also doing it wrong.
Hopefully, there are not too many people who are doing that, but there surely are people who are just finding out about bitcoin or just getting into bitcoin, and what kind of advice would you be giving to a newbie? You want newbies to wait? Do you believe that waiting is practical or prudent under current circumstances if you happen to be someone with little or no coin, currently?
Surely, my suggestion always is to attempt to prepare for both UP and down, and if you are newly establishing yourself in bitcoin, then preparing for UP means to buy a little, and surely if you suspect that the BTC price might go down, you might choose to buy a bit less BTC at the current price, but you surely are not going to be prepared for UP at all if you do not have any BTC, you do not buy any and you merely wait because some random peep on the interwebs believes that we are in a 2019 pattern, even though we are over a year later and there are quite likely significant and material factors that have changed since 2019.. but the random peep on the interwebs wants you to believe that this time is not different (even when it factually is different)?
