The sovereign Governments are going to start closing doors to crypto all over the place. It will soon solely become the vehicle for criminality that its currently developing as and when the music stops, those criminal elements will be left holding valueless, untransactable records.

The rest of this year looks only like more and more erosion of values. Get out, get out now.

You're completely ignoring the applications of crypto. DeFi can exist outside of governments. That is the whole point.

God have mercy on any of the new investors who bought at 65k. This may be their first butchering. The blood always sting harder when the wound is first opened.

Elon Musk has manipulated this market into a classic pump and dump from the 30 k handle , he will alienate a lot of people who are fans .

Guys my average price of BTC is €45k; down now at under €30 (way lower than it was in March when I started dipping in crypto); is it time to jump ship or is this a temporary blip that will rebound.

Well certainly try not to sell at a loss. If you don't need the money then just wait it out.

Not when the Govts resource the destruction of the infrastructure of crypto as a currency, and and asset class. What store of value is there when it cannot be liquidated? When it cannot be transacted for any other asset? Its just a data record, no more robust for anything than a child's first MS excel homework.

Get out. This is a 95%+ slow bleed crash. For today anyway. Could be a haemorrhage by the end of the business week. BTC could go to zero.

We knew it was going to happen. I had it pegged for before this. But then I thought we might get altseason out of the way. Sucks that it happened right now for us but what can you do?

There could also be an atomic war by the end of the week. But similarly to Bitcoin going to 0, the probability is extremely low.

I have no idea how much further down we have to go (and what bounce me might get) - but honestly we are not going to zero this week.

He raises a good point though, can you admit you were wrong the last couple of times you said it was going to zero?

Is it too early to say we are out of the worst of it? The market looks to be recovering.

Its just stagnating activity because the exchanges have pulled the plug before they all implode. Funnily enough they all seem to have had technical faults at the same time. Where have you heard that before?

Too early. There is no way to tell if this was the bottom or if there is another leg to go.

I was thinking more about the Wall Street banks claiming IT faults when the funds that shorted the US housing market called in their markers.

By the end of that week, a few of them no longer existed.

Do you honestly believe that BTC is going to zero . Did you check to see if the sky is falling as well ?

BTC will never go to 0. Too many cultists for that to happen.

What's your story, did you miss a boat or two and watch friends make a few quid without you?
