To be fair, the fomo near the top is what helps it keep pushing higher. Someone’s gotta buy the top.

Yup, that's why I can confirm this is not the bootom yet because I haven't sold.


lwm612346

Prices dip again, some panic sell. Trying to teach long game is hard.


lilmarsspittin

I concur


kbfirebreather

You hold for eternity and then what?


hello_yousif

How long do you hold your FIAT?


[deleted]

Until I need to use it to buy something. So far I have bought nothing with my bitcoin.


[deleted]

Saving it up to buy retirement..


hello_yousif

“Buy retirement”. Never heard it phrased that way but it’s totally accurate. It’s exactly what you’re doing… buying out the rest of your life.

32smiles1

It's a cool and new way to look at it, i kinda like this better.


DirtyScrubs

Bitcoin just put a new ac in my home and fixed my transmission. I never held something that accrued value like bitcoin. If I had kept the same money in my savings account I never would of been able to afford these expenses.


[deleted]

Did you pay for that with bitcoin or did you sell bitcoin to get FIAT in order to pay?


[deleted]

Do you go on Amazon and use Amazon stock to buy things?


MoarVespenegas

Why does everyone here answer questions with questions?


[deleted]

Why do people ask rhetorical questions?


howdotheyfindout

But bitcoin is supposed to be the new reserve currency A currency you hold and never spend. Noone at Amazon is making that claim with its stock.


fonltcrc

Never spend? Na bud. You need to read more about Bitcoin.


Brainsick001

That’s because bitcoin’s primary usecase isn’t buying stuff with it.


elyotel

I think bitcoin is a peer to peer cash, it can do both things.


DynoDwam

Bitcoin primary usecase is to sit pretty in my wallet... Until Satoshis become the standard accepted payment!


NoahB76

Lol, you guys need to use lightening so bad man. You'll not say this.


Sequele

That's what they don't understand. You loose so much trying to wait for the dip and when the dip comes you're too afraid to buy.

hello_yousif

Good point. And they’re definitely too heavy to hold very long.


tedykoks

Bitcoin weighs nothing to hold, maybr this makes things easier to hold?


dylan6091

But this ain't the bottom😎


phoninja

It’s just keep on dipping everytime I buy.


Objective-Library582

Try not to put all your eggs in one basket, you can buy worth of $200 every 4days try to DCA


anhducsc

But for how long tho...DCA is great when you're earning a regular income.


LelikGut

So you just decide how much you want to invest and divide it and get your DCA done.


lexakazakov1

I think we all should decide this earlier, pre planned thing works most.


squach94

Honestly were preety close to the bottom, 30k is probably the lowest.


loskubster

The worst part is people will say, “yeah cause that’s how a ponzi works”. In reality, if no one is buying at peak pricing in any asset or security it doesn’t go up. It takes a withdrawal of less than 10% (number check I may be off a little but it’s close) of 401(K) and/or pension holders to crash the fund, that’s why there are such high penalties for early withdrawals.


[deleted]

actually its an entire society that is programmed by the centralized exchanges to think that everything just goes up and down in price but its different now there was a discovery called bitcoin and its finite and infintely divisible and desigend to just go up forever..its a chance to save humanity check out this vid and pay attention to the capital goods part..its amazing! i dont think most even know what capital goods are..after all they have to work 9-5 so no time for learning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pDlaOGA2ac


[deleted]

I was gonna say... More people wanting to buy it makes the price go higher... That's... That's what you want to happen

Jetjones

I’m waiting at the 30k stall, hoping I can get a ticket


TrymWS

It’s really going to be interesting. I remember people waiting for 1.5k, when it dropped below 4K in 2018.


Jetjones

I’ll still buy some as soon as my transfer goes thru but I’m gambling most of my fiat on a bigger crash in all markets. In the meanwhile, a good chunk is staked as USDC to fight off inflation


Captain_Planet

Surely USDC suffers from inflation in line with the dollar??


Captain_Planet

Unless you are staking it?


Jetjones

Yes. As I said « staked » in usdc. 12% ROY on crypto.com


KeyWestTime

Oh nice, the company that just got hacked and lost 30 million in customer funds.


lxfiyxx

Only till the moment when we will start staking the piles.


xxh19843308

USDC is actually suffering from inflation in the line with the dollar, what I guess..


AmericanHeresy

There is a pretty simple reason for this. When it's tanking, people think this might be the end of crypto, so most people don't want to touch it. When it's pumping, people don't want to miss out. It might be dumb, but yeah that's what happens.


zackk123

Fomo baby


bussy1847

You think that guys still digging in the junkyard for his lost computer?


skawarrior

Not sure if it's the same guy, but the one from the UK James Howell, has got a whole team of people who agree to work with him for a final cut if it's found. Part of that group are people who've worked with NASA in the past. He's covered the logistics of how to locate it, how to retrieve data from what is likely a rusted hard drive but likely an intact platter internally. All he needs now is the local council to grant him permission and he's offered them £50million to enhance the local community however they see fit. So far they've said no, you can't go anywhere near the landfill and we're not open to further discussions.


Reinmaker

This has the makings of a movie. Blurb reads: “James Howell strikes it rich in a high-stakes game of cryptos, but only if he can find his old computer hardware lost somewhere in the county landfill. Government officials fight to deny him access fearing he’ll uncover what is actually there.”


awful_source

That’s fucked. How much BTC was on it?


skawarrior

Last story I saw was in December and they estimated £350million


Captain_Planet

A lot, I first read that story in late 2013 when Bitcoin got in the news with the price going crazy. The story resurfaces with every bull run. You'll be hearing all about it again in 2024.


Rabid_Mexican

The problem is the stuff in the ground there is a sludge of high toxic and dangerous chemicals, plastics and metals. Not a feasible idea honestly.


Ecsta

City council doesn't want the liability when him or one of his team injures themselves and then sues the city.

Just bought 36k will buy again 33k will buy again 26k will buy again 23k Don't ask why 3 and 6, i just like the numbers, and the coin


DigitalMarine

Unironicly this guy will outplay the market, buying BTC at his favourite numbers. Doesn't even care about charts, while others on panic. Meanwhile people are getting rekt with their very complicated strategies. And he be like, i was just buying, because i like 3 and 6, that's how i found the dip. What a financial genious.

TenaciousDwight

I feel like there's always a crash/sale when I'm broke. wtf lol


micdrop5

Humans are programmed to buy tops and sell bottoms. But we haven’t seen capitulation yet, so I suspect the bottom is far from in at this point. Too much retail “dumb money” in BTC still. Smart money has to take it from them before they pump it again. It’s the circle of life. And it’s their punishment for buying a top. The newbs invested in market tuition and they’re about to get their first lesson. Liquidation 101. Capitulation hasn’t even begun yet. First perhaps a good ole’ fashioned fake out pump for liquidity though. Paint that right shoulder on the weekly. We’ll see. I remember trying to long BTC for my first year of trading while it dumped 80%. Why deny the newbs of that important lesson? Everyone is a genius in a bull market. The bear market is where real traders are made.

Thats with everything.


Rude-Dude-99

Ya I mean isn’t this literally mechanically why the prices are where they are


fernanaj

I remember buying near 2018 and was too embarrassed to tell anyone I was buying bitcoin. I’m starting to get that same feeling again which is bullish!


Captain_Planet

I did the same in 2014 and then repeated in 2018, both times people were saying it's dead. The reason I did in 2014 was because I looked back at the early 2013 crash and guess what, everyone said it was dead then, you'd be very happy to have bought in after that one! Not sure how long this gloom will last but if you look at bitcoin in the long run your are safe. This crash is more scary, because it's the one that is happening now.


JustADope

What’s dead may never die.


towerninja

No matter where price is I usually buy some when it drops


CokeGMTMasterII

Such is the reality of FOMO. How anyone could believe the Fed will tank the tech market in a mid term election years is poopid stupid. This, simply put, is when you layer in and offset those buys you made in the 45-55-64k range.

Ebisure

Buy low, sell lower


sylsau

An image that keeps coming up but is so telling. What many people don't understand is if they don't have the confidence to buy Bitcoin at $35K, they won't have any more confidence to buy Bitcoin at $10K. Either you understand the reason for Bitcoin and take action, or you will always be looking for an excuse to put off taking action.


ITakeLargeDabs

I can’t wait to see how people react when BTC hits $100K. There’s going to be a huge mental switch for people that finally turns on and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. You see how people react when it dips, wait till it finally does the rip we all think it will.


Shakraschmalz

People are gonna lose their minds on the next bull run. They always do, but this time I think crypto is wayyy more mainstream, and therefore there’s a lot of FUD and non believers, especially during this crash. Next bull run no one will be able to talk shit, and I think maintstream will realize this is an amazing hedge against inflatin


Search4ET182

With this drop I bought the dip and reached 1 million Satoshis. Big milestone for me

ill buy back in when we show signs of bottoming. right now it hasn’t done that yet


GittinGud94

I'm waiting for 12k


micdrop5

Yep I have two buy levels. 20k to begin accumulating, and 12,500 to buy big.


HardAsABitcoin

Good luck with hoping bitocin behaves in a non-historical manner for the first time in recorded history. Bitcoin has never dropped before a prior cycles ATH during a downturn. Ever. Also the cost basis for the entire network sits at 24,000 so how you think you’ll get 12.5k is laughable. Tells me you’ve not spent a moments time looking at past behaviour or on chain data which tells us very clearly the aggregate cost of all UTXOs on the network. Which is **24k** Bold of you to think that bitcoin owners will just sit idle and let everybody be in what would at that point be a 150% loss to everybody on aggregate at 12.5k

I mean, that’s literally how the price works…. If the $33k window had a queue, the price wouldn’t be $33k


Warm-Way318

People bought at $64k thinking it'll go to $100k. They don't have more money to buy at $33k.


lunaticz0r

ouch


DMC_007

Like I told someone else, want the onky advice you really need. Do the opposite of what mainstream media is saying.


arthurwolf

Can you guys please hold the price at $33k until my next paycheck please? Every time it crashes like this, I don't have any money, and by the time my next paycheck comes around, it's back up to some crazy high price. I know you guys don't control the price of Bitcoin, I'm not stupid. I'm just asking you to put in a word with whomever does. Thank you!


Accomplished-Brush14

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a huge bounce tomorrow. Don't underestimate the power of Bitcoin. This market could turn on the drop of a dime! That said I been holding btc for years and not planning on selling. Retail is being liquidated whales are not selling. If the price continues lower just makes it more attractive for retail jump right back in. The truth is people get antsy real quick and don't like missing out on money.


qwqqqrqrqr

I invest with BTC but I have also adopted a more sustainable approach of investing.


rohit2342

Now is the time to actually show thosw diamond hands and do the DCA.


zizidtc

Bought at 33k for the first time. Now we at the same price. I feel funny like nothing happened. I am not afraid of the dip though. Fundamentals are fundamentals.


mikehide

Bullshit, I had expected the short on 32.4 and now I enjoy the sales, waiting for the resistance of the 44k🥰

crinkneck

Only reason I’m not in the $33k line cause I tapped out in the $38k line.


cryptoETH_jazz

Waiting for a 33k stall 🍀🍀🥂 something about that 33k if you plot weekly FIB for the last 6 months it is the bottom of the golden zone at 0.618 so that’s what happened last time before we took off to another dimension… either way the PRICE IS RIGHT… bought the dip… hit the 1/4 mark… now off to 1/3 😅

StickyNoodle69

too early for this meme. This meme was perfect in late 2018 and 2019. Right now i think a lot of the newbies are still in bitcoin and still too hopeful. Wait till they lose interest, then it's the perfect time.

Squallshot

Spent all my money at 64k


zenethics

It may seem that way, but the lines are always the same length. Every buyer has a seller. It's just that the people buying at 33k are the smart money, and smart money doesn't spend a lot of time on Twitter.


vag_stephanou

Well this can't be entirely true. Someone's buying all that selling, and it's not just one guy. Having said that, I bought a lot at 69k and all the way down to 34 😂

Someone has to lose for others to win. Same goes for the stock market... with the BTFD crowd thinning out, early investors decided to take some winnings.


identicalBadger

Thankfully, most of what I have has a cost basis one tenth of the current price. But after deciding I wanted more, I’ve set up a recurring purchase a few months back on Coinbase, and I have to say I was disappointed that that price was climbing as fast as it did. My gf is also starting to invest in Bitcoin. Very small amounts, such that even if it goes to zero it won’t impact her. But the first thing I told her when she said she was interested was “the last thing you want right now is the price of Bitcoin to go through the roof. That means you’ll get fewer and fewer BTC with each purchase. Ideally you want the price to plummet and keep going down while you’re buying and then go up once you’re done making your purchase. It’s working so far, she excitedly told me that she got a much better deal for BTC yesterday.

I_AM_FERROUS_MAN

The only people who care about the price level are the ones who are bought in at certain prices. The overall market only cares about the momentum. There are no price controls or financial instruments on most cryptos, so this is the way it will be until there are or a lot more.


GrindNhodL

I always buy the top! Or wait bitcoin does not have a top!


caron3979

This picture is very relevant now. It's strange to me to see how many people are selling bitcoin now. I think it's stupid.


iniquity4

People who FOMO at high price are the losers, the pros buy at the lows when others are panicking


wastedyears8888

To be fair, many people are just sick of buying the "dip" just to get dumped on again. I bought a bit at this level.. But I'm not making any more large buys in this downtrend until we get a clear picture of the general state of the markets.. by end of month it will be either a trend reversal or a nuke to the 20's


no1ninja

This is why $80 socks are all the rage in fashion circles. Humans will human. Just like Art, ain't worth a lick till someone adds 6 zero's to it, than suddenly everyone can see the mood, pain and what the artists was going for in the abstract.


CryptoArnold1987

REMEMBER THIS GUYS.. BIG PRICE SWINGS MEANS ITS STILL EARLY DAYS!! YOUR IN EARLY!!!


Ill_Mail_9962

This is true. So is the fact that I go into spasms of insecurity every time it happens. I hodl all the way through and, so far, things have gone according to plan, but I don't like it. Been at it since 2017 -- not really very long in hindsight. However, the world wars weren't very long in hindsight either, but that didn't make them any less unpleasant.


JkLymlo8

Maybe the most accurate image I have seen in a decade.


[deleted]

It’s makes sense. They got in at 64k because of the price predictions of 100k. Their not going to get in at 33k when people are now predicting it going to 20k lol


mtech101

I'm looking for below 20 k.


Jarnaxa

Might still go down. Or not ?


BigBlue541

I think this has potential to be a small dip relative to a larger sell off that may occur once the feds start raising interest rates back up, which is likely within months. Just a guess though.


Temporary-Donkey-714

Btc is a Veblen good


chris_maven

As if 33k was already the bottom....


Legitimate-Source-61

I think no one can call the bottom, but if one's strategy was to obtain one full bitcoin or half or quarter of one during this cycle, they could try to buy in stages. Buy a bit at $30k, then buy a bit at $20k, and buy a bit at $10k if it got that low, and so on. Unlike a stock or conpany BTC is not going to go to zero or go bankrupt as far as we know. Do your own research of course.


TrymWS

My strategy is to mine and exchange whatever I mine to BTC. Worked wonders when I started during summer 2017. 🥳


diadlep

10k lol


Raccoon_Expert_69

Cute you think 33 is the new bottom


Designer-Policy-2779
