    Sold all mine off last month. I found myself checking the prices all day like an obsession. I feel much better now. I guess the game wasn’t meant for me. I wish you guys luck and hope it climbs all year!

    Bitcoin can't get past 17k anymore. Who knows what will happen now.

    People spreading the wealth to other coins. Apparently?

    Solely guessing, I think that is what is happening.

    January has always been a rough month for bitcoin (historically). Will be back near 18k soon. ETH is the crypto that is going to soar tomorrow (yen pairing starts tomorrow)

    true..it's one thing to enjoy the ride and another to cry and assume the fetal position during every downswing...

    if you can't handle 10%-30% swings on the regular, this shit aint for you!!

    I agree. I get a message from FunnyB once or twice a week saying "bitcoin is crashing" and it got to the point of being annoying fairly quickly. But he won't stop and I have got over it now and just laugh at him or tell him its a great time to buy then! He's another one that quite likes the drama too.

    When these clowns start selling to pay the cc companies watch the fuk out. Slippery slope for bag holders here.


    https://cointelegraph.com/news/study...ot-recommended

    According to LendEDU, a personal loan research firm, more than 18 percent of Bitcoin investors have used borrowed money to trade the cryptocurrency. In a global survey of 672 active Bitcoin investors, researchers asked traders the method they used to fund their cryptocurrency trading accounts. The majority of investors used banking systems such as ************ and ACH transfers to fund their accounts.But 22 percent of traders revealed that they have not paid off their credit and debit cards after purchasing Bitcoin, effectively investing in the cryptocurrency with borrowed money. The report read:
    “The wisest and most frugal way to fund a virtual currency exchange account would be through an ACH transfer, which is completely free of charge. Only 18.60 percent of our 672 Bitcoin-invested respondents were paying for the cryptocurrency in this fashion.
    However, this was not even the most pressing concern coming from the LendEDU poll. That recognition belongs to this data-point: 22.13 percent of Bitcoin investors did not pay off their credit card balance after purchasing Bitcoin.”

    I guess I don't understand the sell offs at times? Especially, rapid sell offs? Like the amount drops 700-800 within 15 minutes. Why would you purchase Bitcoin for 3-4 days and have your quick thrill and then sell off? Do Asians get so excited and wet.... they can't hold onto anything??? Must hit sell button??? We're all learning as we go along... but there's really no pattern to highs and lows.

    I'm understanding the game though.... I'm sure there are a lot of heavy hitters that have 2-3 coins they truly understand.... and they get the system.

    For example.... let's say you were convinced BTC wasn't going anywhere and you anticipated these huge drops at times. For instance 17k. So you sold 5 BTC and got 85k for it. On the drop it hits 13.5k... and you say to yourself... well it's time to get my 5 BTC again... so you purchase it at 67.5k giving you a Net gain at +17.5k... not too bad just eyeing one coin. Last few weeks... charts have indicated this...

    And what's the worse case scenario? You accidentally sold when the price continued to rise? Well... look at it this way... you either got a huge chunk of cash... or hopefully you saved half of your stash in BTC and didn't go all in (hopefully you tried to middle.) Some of these heavy hitters are so +EV now... they aren't losing out on a small misread. There's a lot of leverage available... if you know how to use it and have the firepower.

    So, to respond to your post JP... when you see something drop drastically and all of your resources are in one coin... it's a natural emotion to feel desperate at times. Anyone would freak out over security. Logically, once you get your emotions in check... you could say well... BTC should be the strongest.... it should hold. I'm good. You would only assume over a long period of time.... the top 10 coins will all gain over time? Wouldn't you? I don't believe crypto is going anywhere????!?!!? But this is all new to me.... and from a reality standpoint... is this real? Or am I dreaming? It's a new world for everyone who's doing this.

    True, it takes RISKS for HUGE REWARDS.

    I'm just busting your balls but you need to relax a bit or your going to die from a heart attack before you get to enjoy this crypto money...

    Ever thought of diversifying a bit?

    It's all good.

    And again.... Bitcoin losing... and now ETH losing. Asia morning apparently?

    After the Superbowl is over I'm going to balance everything out.... slow my wagering down... and hopefully have some sort of system with crypto. Something that makes me a few bucks each day... I don't care if it's only $50 Net per day... or $1,500 a month. I'm not going to be greedy. I have basically 90% of my bankroll in BTC. I wager aggressive during playoff games.

    But after football is over.... hopefully have more BTC firepower to play with.... and I'm going to chip away with my baby nuts... and sell high and buy low with BTC. If I make a mistake.... life goes on.

    At this point... I don't know anything about other crypto. I might not know anything about BTC either.

    Lowest that I noticed it hit last night was around $12,880. I almost hit the buy button but.... I was worried it might drop to 12,000 or even lower.

    I was looking over a few charts... the lowest it hit after it's amazing run was $12,600 (correct me if I'm wrong.)

    Also... the ceiling seems to be around 17k.... then the sells happen.

    Who knows how long it will take to reach 17k now. Maybe 16k is the ceiling? Who knows?
