Barnabe Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 The next crash will be epic, but it's nearly impossible to guess the top, sell and then guess the bottom to buy it. I did it in 2017 and almost timed it perfectly (by luck of course), but back then I didn't believe in bitcoin one bit, and thought it was a one off thing. Now the stakes are higher and I just don't have the balls to do it. I think I will keep my wallet in cold storage, sit back and watch it burn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in a similar situation, as I reinvested the profits from 2017 back on it. But if you look at BTC price history, it's full of this massive pumps with huge drawdowns following. But permanently high plateaus are also reached. What if this bull run goes to 100k and the price "only" drops down to 30k? That's what I mean by higher stakes...

No need to be all in or all out. I have some set aside just to see what happens to it.... the same way I have some gold set aside, some land in the middle of nowhere, some land that used to be in the middle of nowhere, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 30k 3 days ago, maybe next Friday, you'll be saying "should I wait until it's back at $40,000?" ???? Or maybe "Thank God I waited and got it for $20,000".

I think it will see $20,000 (or close) before it sees $100,000, which I think it will see on the next pump run within the next 1-3 years. So I guess the answer is to put half into it now, and in both cases I'll be disappointed. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original plan was to start moving my BTC over to alts around 35k, but the charts are pointing to BTC to keep going until $200k+. The XRP lawsuit kinda screwed my plan with XRP up. I think I'll shortly take larger positions in DOT, LINK. I agree there is more upside with alts, kinda the outsiders. I'll definitely keep 50% of my BTC for the long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve73 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 In late 2017 as BTC headed towards its giddy heights it represented less than 60% of the total crypto market valuation. This share dropped to under 50% at the Dec high, and then down to less than 35% as the "alts" played catchup in the first couple of months of '18. This time around BTC was over 60% in Nov '20, and has been increasing since then to over 70% now, indicating it is outpacing all the others, at least collectively. I think this is due to the mainly institutional investors this time around that will be looking for stability, and a store of value as the fiat currencies are printed excessively with QE, so I don't think we'll see a collapse like 2018, at least not until we're over $2-400k.... bwtfdik. Mike Maloney (a big Gold supporter) published a couple of videos on U-tube asking Bitcoin: Is it too late? which are well worth watching whether you favour Bitcoin OR gold. I'm not posting the link as I got banned previously for posting a U-tube link, so you have to find it yourselves - sorry..!!!. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly as Paypal doesn't allow buying most alts or transferring BTC to other exchanges yet. Just wait for the explosion when they do! They have certainly been one factor of bitcoins dominance. Remember bitcoin is just a store of value and is not nearly as fast as other cryptos. Many people want to buy alts and have to buy BTC first.

I think that BTC is going to take the gold market, but I could be wrong. BTC just passed 1,000,000 baht! I started buying it when it was 88,000 baht and survived and Hodled a long 3 -year bear market. I remember being ridiculed here by some gold maximalists ???? You are a full proponent of Bitcoin, Yes.

Someone got a heap of BTC at 100,000thb cheaper than the mean price. Instaprofits.
