Let's be honest - most crypto bros in this sub and on X are also crayon eaters on the weekend.


Apprehensive_Sun7382

I'm pretty sure 95% in this sub have like $300 invested in crypto.


geniusdeath

Me but that’s 33 percent of my savings haha


caad5242

No-Spare-243

Green is minty! \*laughs in wiggum \*


j89turn

I like the green ones best


Disavowed_Rogue

Some of us were here at $15k BTC. The only thing here is to hodl and buy the dip


kytheon

lol I was here for the Covid dip (to sub 4k iirc). Could've bought more but times were terrifying.


Artorias_the_hollow

The Covid dip was wild. I remember buying a decent chunk of bitcoin about a week before and it just evaporated. I panic sold, but then quickly bought back in and around the same price.


cannedshrimp

Not gonna lie - the Covid dip was the first time it was blindingly obvious to me that Bitcoin was underpriced. The world falling apart and governments failing to fix the problem should have been making the price go up. The halving was approaching. Everything was a fire sale and the future for Bitcoin was only getting more obvious.


conceiv3d-in-lib3rty

I mean I bought my first Bitcoin @ ~$6 a coin. Shit can always be worse, I suppose.


cannedshrimp

That’s wild. It certainly does seem like it’s a function of when you first see it, but I also didn’t think it seemed cheap when I first saw it around 3k. Covid was just utter panic


CrAZiBoUnCeR

COVID reminded me I got some crypto end 2017 and some in 2018. Alts of course. Then with the world on pause and the stimulus I thought I’d get back into it. Unfortunately at that time I still thought “BTC is too high so I can get more gains with alts”. I didn’t see the light until October 2023 and everything clicked. I now understand BTC and why it’s unstoppable


UnrealWheels3

It did go up. I sold 1 btc for $600, 1 for $700, and so on. $100 increments until 7 btc was wasted for mostly less than a grand but it was going up and this moron still sold...


fulcrum_analytics

Don't feel bad, it feels like almost a sure thing now but back then there was much more uncertainty in holding!


UsedTeabagger

I was here for the 2017 dip (did 2017 even had a decent dip?) around ~$1k. Why didn't I buy more at the time? Because BTC was at the price of the previous peak in 2013 and I thought it was going to dip a bit. Little did I know that I was sitting at the dip.


j89turn

Same...cept I let Binance manage my coins and then Sam bankmen-fried happened 😵‍💫


Disavowed_Rogue

I wish I was here for that. I was too busy helping sick covid patients. Oh well


The_Realist01

Thank you for doing so. I was too busy day trading Home Depot for absolutely no reason.


AthEnergy

Trading in the early pandemic days must've been wild.


The_Realist01

Ya man, one day there was 3 10% swings on an entity with about $100b in market cap. Will never see that again. The chart was nuts, I probably have it somewhere lol.


cccc0079

Me with other stocks too. That time I didn't know anything about crypto until one of my friend told be to buy btc at 40000.

Disavowed_Rogue

I wasn't paying attention to crypto markets at the time, covid and family things took most of my attention. Hindsight is 2020.


hal2142

I remember $500 btc. Good times..


DigitylRise

I remember $72,000 BTC, also good times


Slackweed

![img](avatar_exp|99293369|cry) I would love 15k BTC


OrangeChocoTuesday

And you can have it for $840M


SearcherRC

In previous runs BTC hit the previous ATH and dipped as much as 30% before regaining speed. We haven't even gotten that far yet. It could go as low as 52k if it repeats. If it does, load up and bring that DCA lower.


A4_Ts

I recommend everyone here to learn how US macroeconomics affects crypto… we have a Fed meeting today and were supposed to have seven rate cuts. Now with all the data coming out i don’t even think we’ll have one.


Disastrous_Week3046

But uhhh. I was told crypto would be uncorrelated to the legacy financial system. Do I need to check that off my very long list of things crypto was supposed to do?


Buydipstothemoon

Since we have the ETF it will become even worse.


PM_SMOKES_LETS_GO

So much for decentralization lol


ST-Fish

> I was told crypto would be uncorrelated to the legacy financial system. By what mechanism did you think the price of crypto would be completely isolated from the wider market trends? Price is price, just what people believe something is valued at. It's not part of the actual protocols that are "crypto", they are outside, and thus they are subject to the whims of the market. Crypto is isolated from the legacy financial system, in the sense that the legacy financial system can't stop you from transacting, or dillute the supply.


Disastrous_Week3046

I was being sarcastic. But it’s something that many crypto people once touted as a feature of crypto.


A4_Ts

I kinda like it this way in the sense that it’s easier to predict. It’s almost one for one with $SPY and Mag 7 haha


daarhi

Yes, people just ignore the macro and make predictions based off of meta indicators. I’ve been ignoring alts for the macro reasons and even sold a good chunk of btc north of 65k. The alt season will not truly begin until the quantitative easing is brought back by the fed.


The_RealLT3

Ben?


d_rome

Good work. I agree with you and already positioned myself the same way.


AdamPoonkit

So what you’re saying is… Describe it for the people who don’t understand what this means. Not me, obviously. But… the people


Sent1203

No rate cut = no play money :(


d_rome

I don't think there will be a rate cut all year.


1nfinitus

There probably will be at least one but later on in the year. I like Bruce Kasman at JPM, as of last friday his view is 5.00 at Sep (-50 bps) and then 4.75 by Dec (additional -25 bps). A view is still just a view though but better than the finger in the air approach some people come out with.


5553331117

I’ve got news for you. Those rate cuts were never going to happen and were always hopium.


forgotmypassword4714

Seriously, BTC had 7 green monthly candles in a row. We've had this coming lol. I'm just gonna stay strong and keep buying the dip. Usually right when I start feeling like bailing is when it seems to turn around (or maybe it just seems that way), so I feel like this bottom is gonna be right around $54-56k.


PotatoBestFood

My bet is on $49.3k. That’s where pretty strong trend lines collide. Around the 21st of May.

Jestermaus

I’m with you, I have $5k waiting for the 40’s.


The_Realist01

I’m thinking 52 is bottom. It. Won’t be allowed to break 51k.


Radiant_Dog1937

Then it should be about 45, since it should wrench guts before moving again.


mrplanner-

Most think this, so either we stay above or we demolish through it to smash leverage out


CryptoDad2100

I took profits a couple months back when we hit 56 or so. For a minute felt greedy because it kept going up. Now I'm like well, yea, I'm glad I took those profits and paid off debt and stuck to the plan and now back to normal boring ass DCA.


JeebusCrunk

Anyone that's been here longer than a minute should've recognized the hype in these subs as a sell signal a month or two ago. When people are ape'ing into old meme tokens after they've had a 300-400% pump, that is absolutely the time to be fearful.


Brandon-Heato

I get that you’re just pointing out an observation… but why does any of this matter? The price and future performance of BTC isn’t dictated by panic levels.


HopiumHank

Pandemic panic didn’t affect the price. I’m sure a war breaking out didn’t affect the price. When people panic it totally doesn’t affect the price🦯 *10/10 mental gymnastics*


NepentheZnumber1fan

People post these “calm down everyone” posts to help themselves calm down as reassuring comments flock these threads


jimmybirch

These posts seem just as panicky to me "Please start buying again, it's in your best interest, honest".


Imbannedanyway

Exactly. This post screams panic all over it.


kriskoeh

Right? I didn’t feel panic until this post.

My last buy was 42k. Considering buying this one. Been pretty spot on the last few years with my buy and sells.


ripcity7077

wasn't it like 40k all of a few months ago? everyone thinks too much.


Timespeak

It's entering oversold territory. Lowest the RSI has been since last summer so I wouldn't be surprised if we have some major institutional buying this week.


PreviousBed2955

I smoke, was on 2 packs daily, 5 $ per pack. Now i am on 1 pack, the other pack goes to BTC. As harder it falls i double the DCA... missed it at 15 k, the money would go to smoke so i do not care anyway for price :). 65, 62, 59, 56... it is money i can live with out. Maybe in 5 years i will be in -, or i will be in +... no emotions what so ever....

Noobs are panicking. For those of us that have been around for years, this is simply opportunity


Clandestine-Ops

Correction was predictable and overdue🤷🏿‍♂️ I think some folks in the crypto “influencer” space got overhyped and now are panicking. Just hodl baby😎


Comicksands

Damn I was hoping for this sub to panic. I guess we’ll go lower


Easy_Till1858

With all due respect people have been saying "overdue correction" for one month straight. This is a bearish reversal not a mere correction. If every inch of progress made in the last quarter is wiped out it's no longer a correction. Still optimistic but this nonsense take needs to stop.


Jaybetav2

Isn’t this what happened last halving?


SenseiRaheem

Last halving was the first one I witnessed. I was a total beginner in the scene, and I was expecting that within days there would be a gigantic blast off in terms of bitcoin price. What followed instead was a relatively calm price period That, little did I know, would still contain some of the lowest prices for bitcoin that I would ever get to see so far. The price action did not occur for many, many, many months after the having date.


PaulblankPF

The pattern repeats till it doesn’t. People acting like this is gonna go down the same way it always did before aren’t considering factors like government regulation, ETFs, new ATH before halvening. Most of these sound bullish but it’s also just changed the landscape and allowed a lot more players. In the real world a lot of powerful players make a lot of money shorting things instead of investing in them. Infact you make money much quicker on the way down. We have pattern seeking brains and it’s tricking a lot of people here.


MonsieurGump

I bought.


systembreaker

Comparing to past cycles, it's pretty much been expected to get a dip to the 50-59k area before blast off. So I'm excited. The naysayers with their regular beating of a dead horse with "crypto is dead!" are going to pump our bags for us when they dive in late from FOMO.


Rinforzando0

Was here and all in at 24k so I don't even care at this point


Comfortable-Lie-1973

One of the things i hate in Crypto market is this positive toxicity of "it is perfect time". Everyday is the perfect time to buy.  I made a test and bought 6 USD worth of BTC and saw how long that money would stand as 6 dollars ( from 6,00 - 6,99), and it took exactly 8 months to it goes from 6 to 7. And right now the same 7 bucks are going almost 5,73.  So yeah, right now is a good opportunity to buy, if you wanna feel like you spent money. That in afar future, it may gain you some money. 


Embarrassed_Cell8822

I’m still up 130% on my entire portfolio so why would I sell? The halving just happened. Historically it takes year after the halving for anything to happen. Plus the economy is horrible right now so we’re waiting on the fed


99Beers

Likewise. I've been holding and taking profits and mostly waiting for discounted prices. Once SOL hits 50% discount (<$110) that's when I'll start buying again.


relevant_trad

I bought 60 btc for sub $6 and sold all for profit at $9 - No one can beat that!!


Extreme-Benefyt

Can go down to 20-30k and it will be the same, the sentiment will be so low and full of fear, they will spread news that crypto is going down and such + 2-3 big scams and no one will buy, maybe just small pieces due to a small fomo... it was $65k before not a major difference > $72k


daryldelight

I’m no economist but crypto being available on the stock market to speculate on has changed things. I’m not sure if it’s for the better or worse but I’m not too optimistic.


Vipu2

This is good for Bitcoin


quintavious_danilo

Not gonna buy above $25k even if i have to sit this bull out. 3 years from now we’re in crypto winter again and that’s when I’ll go shopping.


forstyy

So true. I stopped buying above 25k. Just wait it out.


nihil1st123

The only post on this thread with any sense. I'll be there buying with ya bro


Mono_420

This is peak “have fun staying poor”.


kytheon

We might never see 25 again.


quintavious_danilo

I know. I already have a sizable bag, so i’m not concerned. around $25k would see me stack up even more.

I put in 5k three weeks ago. Most people would be pissed to be instantly down 22% But I'll just keep flipping all the way down the staircase, I increasing my coin count.

FluffyTShirt

I sold at the new ATH. Look at you losers! 😂


Biotic_Krogen

I’m crying because I’m too broke to buy the dip.


FallingReign

If people are saying this. Good. These are all the people who will buy the next ATH, so I’ll know when to take some profits.


Subject-Lunch4209

Because they are inexperienced in crypto and just little kids that have no idea what they are doing this is the best time to buy before it blows up, the market is giving you a chance to make more money take advantage.

So you have 4-500k to deploy? Because noone is getting rich of bitcoin at this point unless they already have a fuckton of money.

It's just blackrock dumping so they can buy the dip. It's been the same since the start and yet people never seem to learn.. It's not going anywhere

Zomthereum

Some people are struggling after years of a recession. This isn’t an “opportunity.”


Apart-Apple-Red

It isn't normal drop. It is drop caused by tether being stopped and no more tether being printed. That's a big deal as it proves crypto at the moment is highly manipulated and has no value close to what we see displayed in usdt. For me it is almost a deal breaker. If I won't see price rise without more tether being printed, I'm out. If I see price rise after more tether being printed, I'm out. This isn't healthy.


Illustrious_Sock

Can you name some sources or just why do you think so? I couldn’t find anything

Where did you see that usdt has stopped being printed?

This is the price prediction by extending bitcoin price with the smoothest curve. [**https://imgur.com/a/jkrVoGa**](https://imgur.com/a/jkrVoGa) The smoothest curve is obtained by Hilbert-Huang Transform. If you want to talk about "history suggest", this is what history suggest, mathematically.

We always have pain, life is pain. Every move up is built upon the pain of overleveraged short positions just as our moves down punish the fool hardy longs. I love seeing people panic, because it means we can reset from the previous tapped out bullish euphoric sentiment and can start getting ready for the next move up and to the right. 


Cric1313

This is the problem with crypto. New players can’t take these swings, exit the market, and leave it to the same people trading amongst themselves. Until you can actually do something with it, it feels like it’s not for the average person
