If we keep up this current pace, Bitcoin will end up over 300-400k.




Wow...not a single post in 15 hours?  OK, I'll break the silence.

I think even 300K is way over-optimistic.  100K, sure.  150K possibly to probable.  200K unlikely, but if it reaches this you better be selling. 300K - utterly impossible this market cycle.  My $.02.

I believe Ben Cowen discusses the reasons why in this video, but can't 100% remember if this is it.  He's nuclear engineer and math expert and brutally mathematical in his approach to giving guidance on the very question of BTC toppage you raise.

I like Cowens videos. Hes seems to me the most honest, anti hopium least bullshit TA guy on Youtube. He also made me feel smart with my biggest holdings VET and ADA in this video.



Just to throw it out there, you guys know what happen with MATIC how it went up so fast?. Its cooling off hard now, but that could have made us filthy rich. I was in MATIC at under 5 cents. If I had held it after 12c where I sold thru all the pumps I'd be on a yacht with bitches right now at 50c. That was a hard lesson learned to not sell after the first pump.

So my second attempt to get instant rich is with Harmony ONE which is on a hard rally right now nearing 7c,  I got in at 3cents. And I expect it to do the same as MATIC. ONE is a very similar project to MATIC, it's an ETH scaler but its actually more than what MATIC is, and I expect it to do the same as MATIC in terms of price jump, and it will also get listed on coinbase soon this year, which will cause the interstellar pump.

So if you were thinking about buying MATIC, I'd load up on Harmony ONE instead.

Its time for intervention Endiku. We'r gonna lock your BTC and ETH in a cold storage and lock the keys in safe that will open after 4 years. In the mean time you'll watch Ben Cowen videos like this

When the Governments and Central banks fail to be good stewards and protect the value of our money the people have to do something about it, and cryptos are how they did something about it, imo.

Well, ONE has a small supply, and it's a really uniquely good coin, the project is just the titts in terms of tech. And it went unnoticed for so long. It was like an epic ship still parked in the harbour.  Now its gaining heavy traction and with such a small supply, it's going up faster than other coins like Vechain which is also great but VET has a way bigger supply so it goes up slower.

For one thing, no one knows if there will be a dump to $54K or below.  Money is made in the time between the buying and the selling.  If you are profitably navigating the shorter term ebb and flow of the price action by moving in and out of your positions, by all means keep doing what's working for you.  For my part, I find it considerably less stressful, historically more profitable, and easier with regard to tax accounting, to simply respect the prevailing longer term trends while refraining from attempts to micromanage the shorter-term ebb and flow.  It may be worth considering that your 3 month returns as reported in the image you posted are around 45%.  That is fairly significant underperformance, given that BTCUSD is up 150%+ over that same time period.

What I meant specifically by my above response to Nimpo, is that it seems counterintuitive/counterproductive to hope to see one's own "blood in the water" under the logic that "a fearful crypto market usually always leads to a good crypto market."  Why hope for the market to negatively change character and in turn hurt one's own positioning under the assumption that there will be an eventual reversion to brighter days?  Especially when the brighter days are shining on your shoulders right at this very moment.

Personally I think there is a good chance Hal Finney was Satoshi

Hal Finney died in 2014

If you search online you'll see there is plenty of evidence that supports it. He also received the very first bitcoin transaction from satoshi (himself?) and created something called reusable proof of work back in 2004...

My portfolio is shocking even me.  Total of $39,000 invested slowly and incrementally starting in February crossed $70,000 in value earlier today and passed $71,000 just a moment ago.  I'm blown away by future prospects...but need a graceful exit strategy for July-ish, when I think we'll be approaching a top.  I've taken off ~$12,000 back to BOA so far, so really, I've got hardly any concern of loss at this point.  Honestly, none of this $$$ will change my life one bit, no matter which way it goes.  It is fun to be winning at the game, though.

Plan for the moment remains to HODL all crypto assets and if BTC super-poops down to $45 - 46K, I'll buy another 10 - 15K.

I'd love to hear geo's perspective on where things are headed.




Well apparently you're heading to Florida to work less and enjoy more mojitos :biggrin:. Congrats on your progress toward retirement! :rockon:

On crypto, my general view is mostly unchanged.  The asset class is still growing, and although most people are now aware of it, there are still large portions of the aggregate population that remain underexposed.  With more companies getting on board everyday, and prices remaining robust and relatively stable after some monster runs, it would be silly not to maintain exposure to this sector.

There is a caveat however, in that complacency can cause the active investor to disregard some warning signs.  That we are beginning to see quite a few crypto assets with small networks (those more susceptible to 51% attacks like ETC) and copy-cat use cases (e.g. DOGE or all of the so called "poocoins"), rocketing to new highs, is very much indicative of bubble like behavior.  I distinctly recall throwing 20 ETH at PolySwarm's ICO back in the heady days of late 2017.  It wasn't long before that $20,000 lost 90%+ of its value.  Now PolySwarm actually has a unique and functioning product that remains under active development (and its token has likewise started to regain some value), but even a project with real leadership and active development can get caught up in the hype, become overvalued or simply subject to the larger forces that ebb and flow market sentiment and ultimately, prices.

It also stands to reason that we will continue to see regulatory efforts and possible attempts at outright bans on crypto from various governments around the globe.  So, I am becoming a bit more cautious.  I absolutely will maintain exposure to the asset class, as I believe that it has a long and generally successful road ahead, similar to the dot-com era that saw so many stocks rise to extreme heights only to go bankrupt shortly thereafter; but of those that survived (including many that were born after the initial hype), their value and effect on our world continued to grow, because the underlying promise of a new technology that can produce novel solutions simply cannot be denied.

Since this year's meteoric rise in crypto asset values, I am presently, ever so slightly biased towards selling to raise cash.  Over the past few months, I have built up a ~15% cash position and will continue to sell into further rips, as indicated in my last post regarding the standing sell orders I have on ETH all the way up to $5000.  Don't confuse this plan with selling out however, as I can't imagine a scenario where I would fully liquidate my crypto holdings, and the sales I initiate are necessarily incremental and relatively small with respect to total holdings.  Also recall that as the assets themselves continue to appreciate, the cash liquidations as a percentage of total value contracts.  That so many of these assets now offer a yield in addition to capital appreciation (SOL, DOT, and XTZ being the primary vehicles I use toward this end), I know I would be hard pressed to find alternative instruments that offer these same benefits for my capital in the here and now.

Nevertheless, I am mindful that although the music may not totally stop, the record player can skip from time to time when the party gets bumpin'.  I would suspect that right around the time that the light becomes so blinding as to make many of us believe that we have arrived upon heaven's doorstep and will simply keep adding more zeroes onto our account balances every year, will be the time reality swings back to humble those who over-leveraged themselves or walked too far out on the risk curve by investing in suspect assets riding the hype train at full throttle but lacking the substance and dedicated developer support to get them to a sunny destination.  In that moment, I want to be comfortable that the cash I raised will aid in my mental stability and focus, such that when a bonafide deal ultimately presents itself, I will be ready to take advantage of it.

    #27316092 - 05/20/21 09:30 AM (2 years, 8 months ago)

Someone asked me for my morning thoughts on another platform, sharing here as well...

In a nutshell: “Crypto sure does move fast” :biggrin:... we have the initial markings of a washout/capitulation bottom.  However, the breakdown was very real and I would caution against reading too much into today’s action which, so far, is merely a reflexive/reversion move off of what can at this point only be reliably referred to as a short term bottom.

Overhead resistance looms, and I stand by my comments from yesterday morning that those who felt underexposed should have used $35K BTC as a point of accumulation, those who feel overexposed should use this expected bounce into $45-$50K to lighten up, and those who are positioned comfortably with patience, would be best served by not attempting to actively trade this type of environment at all, as the level of uncertainty is rather high at the moment.

Big breaks like this tend to take a while to find their footing and rebuild a more reliable trend.  As the moves on a %-basis are so juicy, I can empathize with the temptation to do something, but aside from some basic repositioning to maintain comfortable aggregate exposure, trying to force outperformance amidst this type of volatility usually won’t play well, for all but the most nimble (or just plain lucky).

IMHO you would have to be blind to the opportunity being presented here.  I just bought 200 LINK at 16.4 and 4000 MATIC at 0.81, and I'm prepared to double down on that if the dip proceeds even deeper.

I discussed this with my daughter this afternoon.  She is only 30 and doesn't have the disposable income to be investing (speculating?) in crypto.  I, OTOH, put 10K in the bank every month (own my house, own my car) and am very gainfully employed.  My wife probably dumps 5K in the bank monthly working part-time (she's a general surgeon, has her own accounts and I don't ask). 

Crypto investing has become a hobby, a game, and a challenge to beat the odds with money I could give two shits about.  My current attitude is swing for the fences and leave it to the kids, so I'm buying every decent dip that affords me an opportunity to DCA downwards in whatever crypto position would benefit most.

I know a lot of folks are shitting their pants, but for those with capital and/or children, this seems to me to be a way to leave them with a legacy from dear old dad - and if it flunks miserably?  So what!  They'll still get plenty.

I was informed today that she and a guy I absolutely adore (with whom she lives) are talking marriage very seriously (actually making plans!) and I'm thrilled.  So this is no longer about me.  It's for them...so my short-term goals just went long-term!  This is the happy news I've been waiting for!  :thumbup:
