    Yeah dude, good luck. Don't get too down, you may be underwater for a little while but Bitcoin always rebounds higher than before. No reason to think it won't this time too. And think about it this way, you could be one of the poor bastards that bought in at 68000

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah I agree- not about the crazy Highlander stuff, but about the current pain being necessary. The entire market has been overheated and that was doubly true for the crypto market. I honestly won't even sweat it unless BTC falls below 15k. I wouldn't be surprised if we settled in the low...

    Yeah man, don't leave your btc on coinbase. Get it off ASAP. Lots of people use online wallets but I prefer cold storage like: https://shop.ledger.com/products/ledger-nano-s Crypto storage is kind of a subject in and of itself though. So I would recommend you do some independent research and...

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, taking my crypto into cold storage was the best move I've made. Here's an interesting graphic. I haven't independently verified the numbers, but they seem at least approximately accurate: Note these are the LOW'S each year since 2012. This should...

    Dude, who knows how this all ends, but I would personally be shocked if you weren't in the black, probably by a substantial margin, by end of year. You got a 10-year window? You'll be fine. The people that get screwed in crypto are the people who trade on margin and/or have a really short...

    Recently got on a kick showing old 80s and 90s movies I grew up with to my girlfriend. I realized something similar. A lot of those old movies didn't take themselves too seriously, but still managed to put enough effort into the film for it to be weighty. That combination is really missing these...

    The trend has been down for crypto (like the regular market) since December at least. What I'm suggesting is that there's a lot more buying of crypto than selling over the last few days. Make of it what you will. Compare the charts for the last five days of ETH to something like ARKK. In...

    Lots of green candles for crypto after market hours. Part of me wonders if we are seeing whales dumping stocks during market hours and accumulating crypto after hours.

    That sounds right. I think February is when I really started to realize we weren't in a downturn or a pullback. I honestly had a bad feeling even before that though. Like I said in the other thread, that's why I've been 90% cash with my IRA since the end of last year

    Well, there have been plenty of bear markets before. Where do people usually put their money in a bear Market? If I'm reading you right, you are suggesting that this bear Market is a little bit different because inflation is so high and bonds are so low, therefore the usual refuges aren't there...

    It has been over over. They don't send out announcements when a bull run ends. At some point you look back and realize that a long correction or pull back isn't actually a correction or a pullback. It was the end of the run. I have no idea how long it's going to last. But it's over.

    Anone who said that was an idiot. That is certainly the goal, but we haven't gotten there yet.

It's interesting to me to speculate what a shift to an untethered crypto market...

    You should. There are already several similar things out there from people who suck at giving advice. Might as well make one that's worthwhile.

    From an investment standpoint? Absolutely dumb. But Saylor is more than an investor. Saylor is essentially the "ambassador of Bitcoin." He's a true believer (maybe THE true believer). The way he makes his BTC purchases is meant to convey a message as much as it's meant as an investment...

    I'm a simple dude, so I will probably just wait until we get a sustained upward trend of several weeks and the news starts to look a bit better. Will I miss the absolute bottom? Yep. Will I still avoid a substantial portion of the losses from the bear market? Probably. I paid a lot in...

    I wish I could claim I had some great insight that made me go 90% liquid at the beginning of the year, but it was dumb luck for me. I happened to move my TSP over to a Fidelity IRA and had to go cash to do that. I was supposed to buy back in immediately, but something made me hold off. I was...

    Yeah that IS the million dollar question. Short answer is I don't know. @Blazin 's bear scenario seems like a good starting point. I'm not going to try and catch the absolute bottom, so I can afford to be pretty patient. I feel like I at least need to see some light at the end of the tunnel...

    I dunno, I'm no expert, and I know conventional wisdom is going to cash is a bad idea, but I went 90% cash at the beginning of this year and honestly I don't regret it. My portfolio is certainly higher than it would be had I left it in

    Preservation of capital has been the name of the game for me since late last year, and luckily it's served me very well. If I had been trying to actively make money in that time I would be down quite a bit.
