One single person/entity on Bitfinex has controlled the entire bitcoin market from $200 till now.  

Your provocative assertion would benefit from a listing of evidence and/or supporting rationale.

Healthy correction ?   Kiss     Current action has it basing off support and a possible uptrend and now it meets the downtrend of the fall, at least in dollars.  On huobi in CNY it looks a bit better rising outside a downward channel and with more even volume between the fall and rise now that looks ok.  The dollar exchanges have more work and volume probably required for a recovery, 2140 to beat but the main thing is to establish volume above 2000 I think

Bitcoin FTW!






That's some serious carnage. Gratifying to see most of the top shitcoins got hit worse than The One True Cryptotm.

Wait - what? WTF is going on with Tether?
That's what happens when whales dump everything and take profits. I'm not too bothered about the current drop, nice to see it's not just Bitcoin. Half those coins were pump and dump coins in the first place, and this was expected too. Hope they crash to the ground.

Whale purge.



OK, I'll bite... what is the bottom graph showing? What's the X axis?

If you can call the tops - and the bottoms - then you are a better man than 99.9% on here.

For the rest of mankind cost averaging doesn't seem like a bad strategy to me.

You don't need to call tops or bottoms. If you did, you could have restocked at $155. It's more a case of aligning probabilities. I haven't bought for myself since $300 either, but I did have money allocated for a sub-$100 panic (which never materialized).

I guess a cost-averaging strategy isn't a bad idea for the other 99% however.

born once atheist

Dollar cost averaging is for people who can't see when the prices are high or low, so blindly invest regardless what the price is.
Why not save and invest at prudent moments?  Like now instead of 2 days ago.  2 days ago it looked far more dangerous than it doesn now.

It still could go down from here, but it is less likely.

I bought in between $200-300 and haven't bought since.

Great advice - don't try to spread the risk. Just go on instinct. And, if possible, buy at $200.

Easy to be a wise man with hinsight.


To be fair, it was not hindsight, it was foresight.

It was you being lucky and bragging about it.

And then offering bad advice.
Buying at a time when the value of Bitcoin went way lower than it should have was hardly luck, more like basic intelligence.  

Just buy the dip every time (or the crash if you get that opportunity).

agreed,  been auto weekly buying  for past 3 years. Have done very well. Could have done even better
if i had stuck to my guns and not sold at what i thought was incoming crash that turned into a pump and vice versa.
aka... i suck at trading.  i just buy and hodle .

Ehh well a $10MM market sell would probably devastate a small market cap company, AAPL (apple) would barely notice it

MarketCapBTC/MarketCapAAPL ~= 4%. Respectable.

Loompaland?

I got to fly in a WWII B-17 Bomber plane a few days ago. Fun factoid (perhaps apocryphal) imparted by the plane's crew -



This plane was built in Burbank. There are multitudinous small spaces requiring detailed assembly operations within. Several of the diminutive actors from The Wizard Of Oz were employed on this plane's assembly line, as they could reach the crevices that others could not.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled scaling argument...

edit: upon reflection, the proper reference should have been Munchkinland, not Loompaland. c'est la guerre.

Missed a trick though - should have bought at $5

At least it didn't take a year to crash like last time. That was brutal.

It sure was =(. Oh, the wailing....

Not if you have been buying every month from 2012-2016  Grin

Dollar cost averaging... Gotta love it

Textbook propellor correction visible on the Bitcoin 1-Day and 3-Day charts.

Overheat fan activated to cool things down for a bit.

Perfection.
