I think anyone who has been in the crypto scene for long enough knows that this is just a small pullback. This isn't some death rattle and big investors see red numbers all the time.
Just hodl.
I agree 100%. A smart investor always measures the overall worth of the asset not the market sentiment. The latter is important for day traders.
Was there any major problem with the bitcoin network? No.
Was there a government ban? No.
Was there a confirmed incoming threat to the asset? No.
On the other hand, there are some indicators that it's the right time to buy like:
Was there a long ongoing bear market that made the asset trade for about 30% of its peak value? Yes.
Is there uncertainty in the market following the recent bear market? Yes.
Is there a halving event coming? Yes.
I held when my coins were worth 4k USD each, why would I sell now when it's at 8 or when it falls to 7? It's working great as a substitute for my old savings account with 3% a year.
