The point is to convert to a stable coin before the drop, and if you short it successfully, you can make a nice profit! As I stated in some of my previous comments here, I expect that correction since we passed $20k! Now that sounds funny, but here we are over $40k for some time!
In the last week or more, transaction fees are crazy for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and I think that is a sign that correction is getting closer! It's what happened last time. First fees go higher, and then a nice correction! I am ready for that, and I have dollars ready for buying!
I think last time we actually did managed to get segwit before the drop, so we barely got into a place where the price was 20k but the fee was smaller, of course not for a very long time but on the last days. I could be wrong though, we should check the date of segwit and check the date of ATH in 2017 and see if segwit was available on the last days, even if not we managed to get there just a bit later in early 2018 for sure.
Fees are not always indication that a crash will come, it doesn't mean it won't come neither, I just think it is fully irrelevant and that is why I think it is definitely something we should avoid as much as we can. I know that price has a chance to go down, it is always there and I believe it will eventually happen, not saying it will drop to this price or that price but it will definitely have a good 30% or so drop at least, I just think we have a better chance to recover these days and fee will not be the reason for it.
