Doubtful but maybe people realize that anything 10 coders can create in less than a year on a shoe string budget should not be worth 50+billions.

But imo its just a correction.

Time to get some more Bitcoin

It’s getting worse by the hour. Something to do with China banning banks from transacting bitcoin. And I’ve got a couple bitcoin stocks that are going to plummet tomorrow. But you take your lumps I guess.

I wish I had bought Bitcoin years ago - my problem has always been - if any of these coins ever threaten the US Dollar - the government will make them illegal - and the value of Bitcoin will go from 60K to under a quarter overnight

Imagine if the US did this?

If it hits 35K, we gotta jump in with both feet, cause what I am gathering that a lot of technical traders' chart says to buy at 30K.

I am still thinking they will make a push toward 100K bitcoin because of the chart-to-flow model.

China has made similar threats / statements in the past, so it could just be a lot of profit taking

But if everyone's scared, the selloff can continue, there will be no government intervention

You jumping in with both feet now? Below 35K now.

Time to buy more gold. All though bitcoin stocks are down they aren’t doing that bad thought they’d be down double digits by now but the day is young.

buying low and selling high is never easy. IF one believes the crypto story, here's the chart;


https://ca.investing.com/crypto/bitcoin/chart

click candlestick, click 1M (monthly chart) then click widespread icon

take away the two candles to the right (April, current May)

PARABOLIC move......... as stable as a 3-legged table , 6 straight green candles-- ended in April with a long-legged doji, red flag, esp if it was to open May below the body-- it did

from the monthly where can it retrace to? there r no support areas, lol, Using fibo;

.61 -- $31,000
.50 -- $37,179

consolidation and re-assses is how id look at it from a trading lens.


agree with willie, no govt bailing out crypto lol

It will never threaten USD (if it does, probably rather be dead), it's just a store of value similar to gold. Think of it as digital gold. Not a currency.

I'm not sure it will make it long-term but that is the thesis people need to operate under. I hear/read way too many people comparing it to currency or disrupting currency, that isn't the use.

Current market cap 1/16th of what Gold is so if it succeeds it has room to run.
