I am calling a maximum potential low of $1500. However, I do not see a reason for which the price is dropping this sharply this weekend. If people were scared of August the 1st, dumping a few weeks ago made more sense (not 2 weeks before); not that there is something to be afraid of.

Bubbles don't make sense. They are blown emotionally and they burst emotionally. Markets are not efficient.

It's all psychology.

The biggest bubbles of our time are the dollar, the euro, the yen, the pound... When they pop bitcoin price will be measured in hundreds of thousands.

Bitmain also still owes me about .40 BTC with a Pacmic contract. I wonder what coins I will actually be getting back come August 1st..

Good question. Most probably you'll end up with BUcoins.

Forgive my difficulty in keeping up with all the changes, but isn't Bitmain going to be adopting Segwit2x, thus not doing BU after August 1st?

You'd better withdraw all your bitcoins from Bitmain before 1st August!

The way I took advantage of this rally was like this:

I bought some gold and silver directly with bitcoin @ ~$2700, buying the PMs at a somewhat decent historical low, with bitcoin I paid ~$500 for. Not too shabby.

On the next rally you can do the exact same. Or take like 10-15% of your profits on each rally, so you don't feel like you missed out.

The thing is, you will never call the absolute top, and you will never call the absolute bottom. It's the same in the stock market.

In retrospect, even my hindsight is bad. Who waits years and years for an insane pump, gets one, and let's it slip away without taking profit? Hodling is a habit that's really hard to break. Undecided

Well, I for one absolutely suck at picking the right time to sell. Most of that times that I sold a few of my meager BTC, the price ended up soaring even more. And what exactly did I accomplish with the fiat that I received? Can't remember. Probably blew it.

In retrospect we would all have sold at $2900..... but otherwise if we were profit takers... we would have sold at $1100 if we entered at $850.... or at $400 if we entered at $300 or at.........

Litecoin is doing great though. I was not that much wrong when I thought it would be good as a hedge against political issues in Bitcoin.

It only appears that way because Litecoin is running behind the wave. Just wait until the 7/20 MA downside cross on the 3d and you will finally see the ugly side of that Litecoin pump start to kick in.

Weak hands are not afraid of 1st Agust, as you said they would have sold earlier. Weak hands are dumping because they are afraid of the dumping other weak hands started. That's all.

Bitcoin FTW!

It's not just Bitcoin either, guys. Ethereum continues its downward plunge and could be below $130 today. No alt is doing too well for the most part here. LTC is doing pretty well due to SW activation and longer term price rise, however. Going to continue my HODL until we get past August, perhaps then we might get more bullish news and another ATH.

Alt coins are looking worse.

Bitcoin dominance % is up.

Litecoin is doing great though. I was not that much wrong when I thought it would be good as a hedge against political issues in Bitcoin. Unfortunately, 80% of my portfolio is Bitcoin. And I am not selling. Didn't do it in 2013/2014, won't do it now.

For an excuse I suggest you ask those people that waited years and years for the "insane" pump and let it slip away without taking their profit first at $32, then at $240, and then at $1150... Do you think they are too impressed they didn't take their profit at $2900?

That's the current plan. However, Wu has also indicated that August 1st would be a good time to try a fork, too. Wu is the very incarnation of FUD.
In the beginning, there was FUD.
And the FUD was with Bitcoin, and the FUD was Bitcoin.
And the FUD became flesh and dwelt among us.
His name is Wu.

I'd say a lot of hodlers have opted to ride this out in fiat or maybe litecoin.
There will be a massive buy back in and spike when dust settles. JMHO
Coinbase blog still silent. probably best strategy

Then when it starts sinking again, they'll be asking "What's happening?" and bemoaning "This doesn't make any sense, we have Segwit now!"

Play 'em like a fiddle.

Why would anyone want to break a useful and profitable habit?

I imagine a lot of Bitcoin users are only now getting wise to our impending chain-split, but we've been paying attention. What's our excuse?
