Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm certainly positioning to buy quite a bit of crypto. But not today. This fall will take a while. While I do believe that it is a money making opportunity, I don't think it'll recover back to pre- ChinaBanned numbers. At least not in this decade. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I think crypto recovers just fine, having 80% of BTC hashrate centralized in China is no good Big farms are moving to TX and other states with cheap power, I think this will only make it go faster The free world is not going to outright ban crypto like the commies can, and business will adapt to the new rules and be just fine. I'm a GC, and I have never had people ask if I take crypto in payment before this year, and I actually have a client that paid for their deck in ETH in Feb.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Widely expected market correction. I thought the bull run was supposed to last through Q3 of thus year, but it may be here early. ALL crypto and most stock markets are red, I expect this will continue for a couple of days and BTC will "crash" to 20k-22k range, this is what you would call a buying opportunity when it hits bottom ETH will most likely end up around 1200-1400, at least in my opinion I'll see how my "predictions" fare  |

This should really kill any remaining arguments for crypto as a regular currency.
Volatility like this is not compatible with using crypto as a regular means of exchange.

Because that's what crypto does?
I've been through more 40%+ crashes in crypto than I can count. I don't know why everyone acts so surprised each time. There is not a soul who has been holding from the beginning who hasn't been through this type of correction or worse many many times. https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/ It's like every time the stock market crashes and you always get those 'tards who through up their hands and say "That's it! I'm done with it! It's just a casino!" like they've never seen a long term chart before. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This should really kill any remaining arguments for crypto as a regular currency. Volatility like this is not compatible with using crypto as a regular means of exchange. In spite of all the hype 99%+ of bitcoins actual irl use is basically internet gambling. It's too volatile to be a currency, and doesn't produce enough real value to be an investment. That said, I do think crypto tech has many use cases, and am pretty bullish on the tech itself... If it can actually get out of it's own way as a speculative instrument. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because crypto has absolutely zero intrinsic value. It's not a currency, it's not a store of value, it's less anonymous and more traceable than a paper check written out to you with your social security number on it. Its price is solely based on market sentiment. It is also propped up by the "currency" Tether which is actually complete vaporware and all kinds of Chinese manipulation. And as I've mentioned in a bunch of these threads, I had a mining farm that mined Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin and Siacoin, made money but I will never deal with crypto again. Nothing does. Conservatives would probably be slightly less useless at fighting communists if they didn't agree wholeheartedly with their central doctrine. |

Volatility like this is not compatible with using crypto as a regular means of exchange. you done did it now nothing like having your pay check cut in half because of some volatile exchange medium There are cryptos that attempt to solve that. One USDC is still worth $1 just like it was yesterday. Same thing with Tether. Same thing with BUSD. Same thing with DAI. The other important fact is that there is nothing about Crypto which requires you to remain it for any period of time longer than the moment of the transaction itself. Services that allow you to accept BTC and convert it instantly to cash at the point of sale have existed for many years now. There is no reason to accept exchange rate risk in crypto if you don't want to. |

I have never been able to quite see what is exactly the value myself. If you buy a gold coin or bar, you have a physical object representing that investment. Likewise, stocks are paper but you technically own a piece of a brick-and-mortar operation somewhere (until they declare bankruptcy and wipe out that investment - in my case Emerson Electronics, Citadel Media, Harvey Universal, etc.
). I would have no issues with mining crypto, other than the power requirements, but spending worthless Federal Reserve Notes on questionable crypto seems pointless. I'll let everyone else get rich. |

eventually the only crypto that will exist is going to be run by governments. Does anyone think for a minute that the minute bitcoin or any other becomes a threat to the Fed Reserve banking cartels power to create money, who own the politicians will out law it just like China, and India are doing. Once more places accept it a currency there will be more pressure to outlaw its use.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Holy shitballs I shouldn't have checked my accounts. Thanks Elon. Trying to 'time the market' rarely works all that well. Just stick in in and wait. Remove money and 'rebalance' every year among your investment risks. Buy low, sell high. If you know you will need to make a withdrawal try to do it when the value is high. That is about the only time I watch day to day or even week to week. The rest of the time I update holding value every quarter after statement come out. |

This is a great opportunity. You sir are not a crypto believer! You must buy, buy, buy and by all means HOOOOOOODLLLLL!! Your $500 investment jumped to $10k? HODL!! Watch it fall back to $400, spike to $11k, rinse and repeat.. then in 3 years sell it all for $15k and brag about your diamond hands paying off. At the bottom this morning, my holdings were up ~400% of what I've invested since I started in February. That's after cashing out enough to cover my initial investment along the way. |

I can't help but laugh at everyone saying "but it's not realllll"
The entire market is bullshit. Its a fucking shell game and while the only way not to lose is to not play, the only way to win is. You look at the NASDQ and major markets like that. You tell me how massive unemployment, 4.2 inflation rates, massive spending, a new administration, gas shutdowns etc. Yet that shit sets records daily. It keeps going up because people keep deciding its up, and really only goes down when a major player sells enough to make the price drop slightly. Then all the small guys panic and the dump starts. I only have 100 in crypto so I'm not down much, but I plan on buying the dip because its not going anywhere. People will buy back in and new millionaires are minted when it climbs again. |
