19 years ago I bought 1000 shares in infowave @ 50 cents on the Vancouver stock exchange with Canacord. It opened at $1 and a couple years later I sold it at $4.40. Six weeks later, Bell Canada bought the company and it ballooned to $92 per share in a couple weeks. A few months later it was 2 cents a share. I am still kicking myself but this makes up for it somewhat.

We all have these types of stories. No one can tell the future. Just focus on your wins and forget your losses. Best you can do.
Sounds like BTC made up for it and then some.

This is SBR. Everyone knows the answers after the games go final.
Very true, tho. You try to get it in good and hope for the best. That's it.

Hopefully Bitcoin breaks 41, instead of going back below 40.

Well, what is trending with Bitcoin is it hovered around 37,000 for week then spiked. Now it's kinda holding steady now at 40,000.. Give it time be patient fellas. It's on the up trend. Baby steps..
I think it will get to 50,000 in time again, no problem.

This may be useless info for some but I thought I'd share it cuz I think it's interesting.
This shows the history of the hashrate for the BTC network. The hashrate is how much processing power is being given to the BTC network.
I find it interesting that the hashrate has gone down significantly over the last month and is projected to go down another 5.62% at the end of June. On June 28th/29th the hashrate for the BTC network will be the lowest its been this year.

Sentiment sure does change fast in crypto. This number was at 13 a week ago. Not seeing a calls to drop below 30k at the moment. Being cautiously optimistic we don't have another 25+% drop in then near future.

I will pull out all my funds when it hits 50,000 and my attitude will change again as I will root for Bitcoin to tank again. ..

Gotta give it or month or two. There should be better days ahead.

Thanks man. Having something go down in price right after a buy is just part of the process.
Like I tell people about buying stocks, EVERYBODY that buys a stock is going to be losing at some point!
Unless they got lucky and picked the dead ass bottom price and it only went up from the time they bought it!

If you believe in crypto, there’s some good stocks you can get into as well that goes the way crypto goes. Mara and Riot should explode once Btc does. They hit 60-80 dollars a couple months ago and are now hovering around 30. Good bargain buys. And SOS at only $3.80 is a bargain and should fly once Btc cranks up again.

Funny, when ever the DOW tanks you can expect Bitcoin and crypto to plummet as well. It's like they are all connected which they shouldn't be.

If there were any stocks tied to ETH then I'd invest in those right now and sit and wait.
But BT-C stocks with BT-C near $40 grand is not something that I'm going to buy.

I think we got very interesting event right before us , the death cross. It is point in time when two averages cross and that formation in the past was a great bear signal .
I think institutions can play this thing out as self fulfilling prophecy . It is all about great timing and creating as much FUD in the right time as last time . All this nonsense as china banning crypto , banning mining , bitcoin not green , musk is offended etc if launched in a right time can bring bitcoin down to 30k again .
Honestly , I hope it would not happen . The other scenario is that unexpierienced investors are expecting correction . Smart money can play standard revearsal and we can see huge gains . This would be the most convienient scenario .
In case of big drop , I am loading big on 30's range
Curious about your thoughts

Sink, what is the word on the street re: BIG buyers? Either deep-pocket individuals or institutions.
Within BTC, the conversation has to start w/ the Max 21Mill coins. Then work backwards:
*# not yet mined
*# lost. Most people think this is larger than the avg guy would think.
*# in hands of whales who aren't selling
*# in cold-storage and not moving
Any realistic estimate means there just aren't that many left/available. I think there's a time in the near future where BTC price will just look like a straight-line trend, similar to a fixed interest rate.
