Good afternoon Bitcoinland.
Looks like the panic is subsiding... currently $6351USD/$9222CAD (Bitcoinaverage).
Hopefully everyone stocked up during this (possibly last) great buying opportunity.
Onward and upward. Go Bitcoin go
Most of us are in this scene long enough to have lived through at least one Halving. I cannot accept that anyone who's been through such experience would sell any amount of BTC now
I just missed the first halving but I got to enjoy the resulting bubble. I'd read my history about prior bubbles and knew the ensuing crash and bear market wouldn't last long.
Sure enough, it was less than half a year before we had another bubble and crash. Through both, I refused to sell a satosi (although I did spend a little on some ASICs and a spiffy
BTC ballcap). Our renowned Speculation sub-forum moderator said it would go to single digits before reaching 3 digits again in the summer of 2013 but some of us knew better.
I took considerable heat from the trolls in 2014-5 for saying that 4 and 5 digits were inevitable while the negative Nellies were calling for double digits again. It took a little longer this time but by the time the next halving had time to sink in we not only had our 4 digits back but 5 digits too.
Anyone with a brain who's been paying attention at all (and ignoring the so-called "experts", TA "legends" and other morons) can clearly see that 6 digits are inevitable within a year or 2 of the halving.
Selling just because of a silly black swan event panic is just plain stupid.
This was the time to buy.
