This is what happens when big players get in the game. Extreme market manipulation. This Tesla tweet is perfectly timed in an already dumped weak market. And whales will drive this thing now down to 40k levels. So the big boys can buy more. These ultra rich people are such disgusting. Never get enough.
The big boys are going to exit. A few people unfamiliar with the proven science of bitcoin's failure might trade it on the way down, but this is it. This really is the death of bitcoin.
This time is for real...?
Glad that I was able to hear that so that, and especially from such a credible source that knows about math, science and even writes and performs sing songs. This way, I will strive to not continue to do what I have been doing.
Desperate times call for desperate measures... and hopefully this works out for everyone.
Good luck peeps... some are going to need it more than others.. so it seems.
This is going to signal the Great Exit from bitcoin. By next week, $50k will be a pleasant dream away from the nightmare that's coming to bitcoin prices. Get ready for sub-$10,000 before the year is over.
Oh Proudhon, you are very optimist again. Not before the year is over but I would say that we must get ready for sub $-10k
before the May is over I thought that we already had more than a $10k correction. My mathematical calculation of $64,895 - $45,700 is $19,195... Surely nothing to sneeze at, especially since the amount of correction is very close to the whole value of the peak of the price of bitcoin in late 2017 and we had not surpassed that value again until December 2020.
Maybe some amazingness to the quantity of numbers, even though pondering the matter in terms of percentages would probably be a bit more realistic in terms of attempting to grasp material significance of such price moves (whether Downity or otherwise).
I had some expensive bills to pay...that I can only pay with bitcoin.
Screw that Musk guy.
Shouldn't be a BIG deal for you anyhow, Elwar. We are priced right around what you had considered to be the top of this cycle, so what's the BIGGIE... sure this cycle ended up being nearly $15k greater than what you had anticipated, but no one can get the cycle exactly correct, so if you changed your mind, to expect even higher prices then wouldn't you just be overly setting yourself up for unnecessary and invented disappointment? #justaskin
go down where it hurts, low 30s? high 20s? Still, a number that would never affect a bitcoin OG, however the noobs get slaughtered, rightfully so.
I suppose that there are a few reasons why you are right about this generalization point, and surely bitcoin OGs will have ONLY transgressed newbie status if they have engaged in a sufficient amount of HODLing in order to have allowed their BTC holdings to advance into considerable profits.
There may well be some bitcoin OGs who did not get some of the memos regarding mostly either doing nothing, such as HODLing or perhaps using some extra cashflow (if any) to buy on dips.. to the extent even needed.
Sure newbs are going to fit a couple of categories because even those who might have average BTC costs of under $20k may end up getting overly tempted to play the market because they may feel that they did not have had enough time to stack a large enough stash to their comfort level. Surely, a lot of newbs will have some struggles in their attempts to prepare for both UPpity and DOWNity and to attempt to maintain a budget that mostly does not run out of cash and then resorting to HODL in the event that cashflow falls short during the crash period (rather than selling to generate cash - which many times is going to be problematic to attempt to accomplish during a crash and also largely appreciating that bitcoin remains in a bull market, until a large passage of time might cause confirmation that BTC no longer is in a bull market). Probably all of these matters are much more difficult for anyone who had been very aggressive with investing in recent times and has largely run out of cash, even though the correction has ONLY been 30%, so far.. not saying that it will necessarily be greater, but there are surely no guarantees that the bottom is in after only a day outside of the $45,700 dippening and NOT really staying down there for very long (not that we have to, but still)....
A few more dead-cat bounces because the playing field is set. And the field showed the 40s already. Selling now would be the stupidest move, and we know it.
Many of us longer-termers do not like the idea of selling on dips, especially during a bull market, and there seems to ONLY be rare circumstances that such selling on dips would work out including if it ends up that we are not in the bull market that we expect our lil selfies to be.
does not seem likely but it's possible.Not gonna argue here much more, love you anyway. Maybe I'm wrong? Anyway, I'm not trading on my speculation thought. Coins are in deepest cold storage and I'm just traveling south France while drinking red wine. Life is good.
Cheers WO crew
We should all (that's the royal we, of course) just tell you to fuck off, but hey, you are not a bad guy, generally speaking, so there is that, too.
Don't have too much funzies in your drunken stupor that might cause you to do anything that you would not be willing to disclose herein, even considering opsec obfuscation matters...... hahahahaha
Vitalik ......... I'd count him as definitely smarter than me (which is rare even if more deserve it).
Oh gawd.. you are surely a humble bumble today richy_t for some strange reason.
