Just catching up now on today's movements. Set a couple of buy limits yesterday on BTC at €30K and €25K and logged into the app just now to see they've gone through...happy with that.

I had a buy limit on ETH at €1,500 on Binance and it dropped to €1,510 for a split second..:rolleyes:

Edit: Don't know why I used past tense, I still have it.

I'm not cut out for these volatile markets (unless they're volatile on the upside).

That said, if it bounces off 29k/30k again, I'd feel more comfortable about buying in again. Right now it looks like it could be a falling knife.

Aye I wouldn't be confident buying now even if it is tempting

Gotta remember, those long holding whales from the sub $1000 days a few years back are probably very happy with their profits now after FUD from Elon and media reports about the Chinese Government. A lot of this is long term holds liquidating because of several things happening at once. FUD, US stock markets are a mess and many countries are moving towards a permanent reopening, some people have a LOT of cash that they can do things with now.

Exactly. And they will buy back in again when it eventually bottoms out - rinse and repeat

"The dip". Even in crypto, 30% to 40% in a day isn't a dip.

There were multiple 30%+ dips in the previous bull runs though

That €10,000 drop got me. Im out. Look forward to the explanation behind that.

I don't believe the Chinese thing either.

I wasn't looking at another 2017. Fuk that.

There was a near 25% bounce there in a little over 1/2 an hour, It's very tempting, but I wouldn't putting money into this market and going to sleep tonight.

Oh, look, it's going down quickly.

If you're in for the long haul then don't even entertain this.

I can't see the rumours of the Chinese government cracking down being true, they have far too much skin in this game themselves. I'd imagine all those Tesla wallets holding their $1.5 billion worth are selling off in increments and I'd say there's immense pressure from the Board to sell. I wouldn't be surprised to see Elon shown the door and Michael Burry has $530 million in options against Tesla, so he's pretty bullish on a retraction of either the market or of Tesla specifically, either way, Elon is on the ropes.

I'd be particularly bullish about Ethereum in the long term, as long as EIP 1559 is successful. I could even see it overtaking bitcoin in the future as environmental impact will become an issue with the way the world is going.

I sold half my ether this morning having held since 2017. Have a few big life events coming up in the next year that the extra cash will do wonders for, if I didn't need the money I would have held onto all of it

Keep buying the dip, eventually you’ll get your cost basis down to zero and then there’s no way you can lose

there was a flash crash due to (was it Antpool) power outage back in 2017, Bitcoin crashed to $200 for a few mins and immediately returned to market value within minutes, the $200 (circa) price was only available for 10 - 20 secs, a few lucky punters did get lucky though

it has crashed a lot of times, i think maybe 7 or 8 since 2010. It's going to 250k and beyond eventually, patience young grasshopper

They were referring to someone saying this isn't a dip, when it clearly is. I've no doubt it'll bounce back, when is the big question!

I can't see a 'dip' this severe in its history - maybe back in time when it was $600 and went to $300 or something?

Bitcoin briefly dropped 52% on 12th March last year. There are many other examples. It usually recovers pretty fast, alts not so much.

I loaded up at 4k in the dip last March, a dip is a dip whether you like it or not. Always buy the dip. The same will happen here. We’ll be at 70k in no time.

ETH / BTC taking a hammering, could be the end of alt season.

Ah it is a dip. How many times has it dropped 30 - 40% in a day? And recovered soon after

Trying my best to get into any of the exchanges now for a buy but everything seems to be down. Hard to buy the dip when this happens !

The key really is to not put in more than you can afford to lose. I only started a little over a year ago so I'm very much still new. From everything I've read, what's happening now is completely normal. If you look at past charts there are always climbs followed by big dips, which are eventually followed by large climbs again. Nothing is guaranteed of course, but as the saying goes - history repeats itself. As long as you always make sure to only put in money you can afford to lose then there's nothing to worry about. That's what I've done, just buying very small amounts twice a month. My plan is to hodl long term.

Yeah that's what I am doing, adding a little that I can afford to totally lose each month, will see where I am in a year or two

I can't access my account at work but am looking through my fingers at the carnage. Prob for the best that I can't touch.

Well that's my day made interesting.
What a drop in BTC > Fiat values in my portfolio!
Glad it's not my 1st rodeo, or it would very likely be a black Wednesday.

I'm trading BTC into others and back again at the moment, link, nano, BCH and BNB are all buys for me during this crash.
No cash to add, and glad of it too.
Fingers crossed however that the equity portion of my portfolio picks up part of the red...

Surely a rebound incoming.

I never invested or bought or traded any crypto. But I will just say that people will tell you X/Y/Z. Those are guesses. They may be right and they may be wrong. I wouldn't have a dog in the fight but I don't like to see people losing money.

Best advice is the simple ones of don't put all your eggs in the same basket and don't risk more than you can afford to lose.

There is no "surely". That is my point.
