$35(ish) k USD. now theres a dip i can get behind.
usually my buys are pretty well set up in advance (ladders, dca) with a small amount of "impulse" buys or sells here and there. but this? NICE! i shuffled some stuff around to free up some fiat and bought a good chunk o cheap corn. and still have some stuff i can dump for more btc if the dip keeps going.

Which it very well may, but I think it won't be down at these levels for as long as it was in the summer. Various indicators are starting to signal a policy error by the Fed, it won't be long before they start to reverse the jawboning.
of the newly freed up fiat i spent 75% on a market buy at ~35.3k USD and with the rest i laddered a bit lower. depending on where honey badger wanders off to ill revisit that. if honey badger decides to head south for the winter ill move assets around to free up more fiat for btc if needed.
It's a good plan. I was going to finish up work this year, but have just applied for a full time position (1 year contract, not McDonalds) that I am a shoe-in to get. If this is a bit of a drawn out bear market I'm going to DCA the shit out of it with at least 50% of my take home pay, I don't want to miss out. During the last bear I was able to increase my holdings by 25%, I won't be able to beat that but I'd be happy with 5%. Every little bit counts.

Expect price reversal from $31k.
Weekly RSI it is not yet at 2020 Covid crash level, it is possible.
This dip is part of a wider collapse in the stock market as a result of cold feet after people started thinking the Fed Reserve is going to raise interest rates this year to curb the rampaging (LOL) inflation.
I hear that things became 7% more expensive last year than they were in 2020.
Exactly this. Stocks, especially tech, are all massively down and the BTC price is simply an exaggerated reflection of this - due to selling by those who don't understand that BTC is, amongst other things, a hedge against the failings of the current monetary system (especially with regard to supply and inflation).
For these reasons, there's no need to panic, unless you're over-leveraged or have very short-term aspirations. If you're holding BTC for the right reasons, you're timelines will be long-term and four years from now this dip will have been utterly forgotten.

I hear that things became 7% more expensive last year than they were in 2020.
Now how's this looking if you measure in Bitcoin? I count almost 50% inflation in 2 months, didn't people get the memo fiat is at risk of inflation, not Bitcoin?This is the best tweet I saw in a while, and beautifully explain the correlation between FIAT and bitcoin:
Incidentally, this is the reason I invested in bitcoin a while ago.
And it's the reason why I'm never selling.

A small pathetic bounce, GTFO. I didn't think we did that anymore.

All that is missing is a little sprinkle of EmptyGox news, now really soon perhaps maybe returning corn to their legitimate owners. Soon I guess.

We are all going to DIE!!!
Well not now - mentally already dead- physically soonish
Well not now - mentally already dead- physically soonish
I sure hope this marks the bottom! Things are getting a little wild in the short term. When people start screaming we’re all going to die that has got to be a buy signal. Lol
Apparently $34K is the we’re all going to die level. I hope it holds.
Don’t fret too much. It’s just numbers on a screen after all.
Just playing a bit ;-)
But seriously, this a a nasty drop, brutal...!! No decent bounce in nearly 3 months and no sign of bounce to be seen - yet?-
Let's see how this evolves... but I guess all bullishness is now evaporated
January 22, 2022, 05:17:25 AM
Bottoms up? Old 12 month+ volume point of control to the rescue imo. It's nice to be able to feel bullish again now that $40K has been wiped out
Not convinced we're gonna spend multiple months below $40K as we've already done this before. Plus if we do, more likely $30K will break imo.
More than anything, just glad we got out the $40K to $46K no mans land. That was a complete waste of everyone's time
Also, maybe it's just me, but on smaller time-frames can see some obvious laddering of positions happening here; $38.5K, $36K and $34K.
The sort of quiet accumulation of averaging into the buyz one... bears about to get rekt... 50% discount short lived for now.

RIP 35k This slowly bleeding is what is painful. I wish there was a hard dump down to 29.5k and then some kind of relief.
