Any of you guys see the Ethereum thread, it starts in December 2017 and their moaning about the cost being $300 and when will it take off. Course it peaks in January and they for the most still can't spot it. Funny and sobering to read.

Hindsight=20/20 vision. :rolleyes: I seriously doubt you would've spotted the the ETH peak at the time.

Yes, but not sure if available in Ireland.

7 days to go from 3k to 4k.

I used to think 5k was laughable... Now it's around the corner

Raul Pal from RealVision did a model of Ethereum a couple of months ago whereby he explained that both the growth of active addresses and the price action were a very close match for Bitcoin in the previous cycle.

Of course like all models it can break, but the past few weeks have given him credence.

I traded chainlink to get a piece of ETH (or BTC don't remember now which blockchain lies within), and others big crypto to get another part of BTC. Result: my wallet has increased, slightly but increased.
My opinion (correct me if I'm wrong): having two biggest crypto in the wallet (BTC and ETH) and "bet" on 2-3 promising project which is Ada Cardano in my opinion.

Well if I'm being completely honest I too am too cheap to pay for Excel and used the OpenOffice version, called Calc, since it's free. Just felt it was handier to say an excel spreadsheet.

I bought a-lot of ETH a while back , up 2x now, took out the initial investment. Im still very bullish on ETH in general but decided to reduce my risk.

weemcd

My portfolio is all Alts atm, no BTC/ETH. I had some but switched them out when the Alts when BTC dipped and Alts were pumping.

What's my best strategy now, keep in the Alts or rotate them into the big two? I put money in every month when I get paid so just add those positions then?

My own opinion is that bitcoin is going through that stage where Ethereum was in March when it was stuck between 1400 to 2000 before take off.

Back then Ethereum had a lot of fud. BnB going to take over it, gas fees too high (a valid criticism but never impacted it's price before) and that its performance in the cycle was disappointing.

However if you looked at the on chain data, there was large accumulation happening with the big players, eth was being bought in large chunks and taken off the exchanges.

This is exactly what's happening with bitcoin now. Huge players either whales or institutions are buying large amounts of bitcoin and putting them into cold wallets resulting in less bitcoin available to trade and there is fud that Ethereum will flip bitcoin and that it consumes too much energy with mining.

So I think Bitcoin is due a next leg up and smart money would be investing into that now instead of when it's going parabolic

Well he’s saying 20k by the end of this year is a high probability.

Of course we are all taking calculated risks here and nothing is ever for sure. But I pretty much agree with him that the risk adjusted return seems pretty attractive.

I don't use Celsius specifically but have my crypto in similar defi projects. I always get paid out in the native tokens to get the extra APY and then convert once a month or so to crypto, when the conversion is favourable for me.
Currently getting 8% on my BTC and XRP and just over 20% for ETH and USDC

Just to be clear. Celsius is a centralised business with one foot in Cefi and the other in Defi. They have offices around the world.

The business model is community based with 80% of profits given back to cel token hodlers.

As they are centralised, they have to do everything above board including applying for loan licenses in each country/state. This is good and bad but thinking long-term, it's very good for Celsius' survival and mass adoption.

They're pretty much stealing BlockFi's customers away at the moment as the BF business model is broken. Relying on greyscale for their yield payouts was not very smart.

Their growth is very organic which may not be exciting but look at projections for price at end of bull market

BlockFi isn't mentioned in that article. I'm not saying greyscale have a bad business model. I'm calling out BlockFi's business model

Obviously you're wondering about specifics, but the power of whales is on show tonight it seems.

Take VET as an example, it crashed but is since rebounding.

A whale could have 1) Sold a bunch and plummeted the price, and then 2) Bought back in at the lower price accumulating a whole lot more VET in the process, sending the price back up.

Never mind the power of whales, it's the ease at which a person can make even more money when they already have a bunch of it. It happens in the big bad centralised world, it happens even easier here in the decentralised one. It'll happen in whatever comes after crypto.

Who's complaining? Buy the dip ����

If you're over leveraged, stop gambling and just HODL

Don't get shook out of your hands. If you hit a stop, buy something from your shopping list or even back in on the same token once the price has settled down.

We've had many dips in the past few weeks, where are you guys getting all this dip buying money 😊

Im oddly satisfied to see it didnt dip below my buy in price from the previous dip last weekend

I've been here before guys in 2018. Just HODL, if I had have back then and continued buying into 2019 I'd be...after-timing in the crypto thread. Anyway...

This is a lesson in Hodling and not setting stop losses!

If you believe bitcoin will hit 200k etc etc. you've nothing to worry about

Me too, so I sold 40% of my ETH at $4,145 price point today. If I'm right I will buy back in at a lower price, if I'm wrong I still made a decent amount of profit.

ConseyMan

I've mentioned it before
But if you go to the ethereum thread it begins in December 2017, and you can read everyones reaction, Bitcoins crash, a dead cat bounce while Ethereum goes to ATH. Then everything crashes. It's quite a read knowing what we know now.
And if you go to the original 'is anyone else getting excited, that starts in 2019 at the bottom of the market, and there are a number of lads who spot it.

Im more interested in knowing if bitcoin was being moved off exchanges back then. For me thats the most telling sign. According to reports the amount of bitcoin on exchanges is dropping by the day which should give confidence that it cant keep dropping for too long. Not long ago it dropped to 43k amd there wasn't any talk of the run being over. Not sure what has changed since then.

Curious what's been plummeting for you guys? My crypto portfolio is down 1.3% today and I have most of the large cap ones, even my smaller holdings are only down max 7/8% for the day, some are up. Not sure what the fear is about?

I don't think it's fear but it might be opportunity.

I still reckon we haven't seen the bottom of this correction yet. That's not something to fear, it's something to be prepared for.

That doesn't mean there's no profits to be made in the mean time, but taking profits and setting stop losses might be prudent.
