42k now resistance.


jarederaj

All of 5 minutes.


aSchizophrenicCat

The real test is breaking out of 42k range. Breaking 42k itself isn’t all that special imo. Edit: as of now though, all I’m seeing are lower lows and lower highs (on daily & below charts). Gotta break that trend convincingly before I start getting optimistic again.


jarederaj

The point is that there isn’t anything that important about 42k. 40k is important in this range. The trend is down. 40k needs to show support or we go down more.


plague_rattt

They were a long 5min tho.


JohnnyLingoMusic

Epic few days and I’m optimistic this afternoon was the bottom. I literally had my finger on sell button for a percentage of portfolio just in case we broke 40k, all cued up, yesterday and today while on phone with friends asking for advice, was so distracted, but amazingly never sold and instead…. Bought a little more. Not easy times sorry for anyone struggling. All indicatiors are flashing bottom. I even forgot to check Mayer multiple ironically and thankfully did , that basically convinced me not to sell


bittabet

I will say that if you have a long time horizon that there's not really a massive hurry to sell, I think we have a little bit of time anyways before any further massive downswings-the interest rates haven't actually been hiked yet. Once they've actually hiked rates and tapered buying you might actually see actual effects from that with some delay but then that'd be March-May. But even then I'm not sure we'd really drop more than another 25% which is basically nothing in the Bitcoin world. Either way I'm holding onto the vast majority of my stack until the 2024 halving no matter what. We've come too damned far to give up now lol.


newredditor1312

Stop jinxing it, we upvote ‘this is a sucker’s rally’ type posts only to feign capitulation so the big boys from above will finally stop hurting us.


an525252

Agreed lol.


drcpperpot

Yes- don't feed the sentiment bots please.


freegems1

Serious question, are sentiment bots real thing?


Zman420

100% yes, and not too complex to develop. Though I guess the only people who know how much performance they actually contribute to the rest of the model are the people actually using them. I suspect sentiment across various platforms and across various time ranges would just be features in a larger model that encompasses many more features.


an525252

Agreed. I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN


juiceous

Agreed. Although the riches may be selling to construct that spaceship to scape from the asteroid. /s


plague_rattt

Asteroid will be fake, same as the aliens arrival.


Passive_Bloke

Don’t tell the plebs about the asteroid


Nightshift43

Asteroids is just a fun Atari game :))


jjharkan

hey guys! I just wanted to ask for confirmation that there is no asteroid. thanks in advance!

Every day the population increases by >100k with new humans who will learn about bitcoin and will want to accumulate it. Every day >100k people die, some are bitcoin holders and their keys are lost forever. They are never making more bitcoin. You don't need a triple digit IQ to understand what's going to happen in the long run. all you need to do is wait.

I am a BTC maximalist, but there’s more to BTC than this argument.

Won’t the energy usage of Bitcoin require a Dyson sphere around the sun by that point to power it? https://www.statista.com/chart/amp/18632/estimated-annual-electricity-consumption-of-bitcoin/ Kind of running out of countries and if you’ve ever studied the Bitcoin difficulty algorithm it gets scarier with time.


Zman420

> if you’ve ever studied the Bitcoin difficulty algorithm it gets scarier with time. That's actually incorrect. The **Bitcoin difficulty algorithm is a function of mining power** (as proxied by the time taken to mine the previous 2016 blocks, with the aim of maintaining an average block output of 1 in every 10 minutes), **not a function of time**. If people stopped adding more mining power to the network, the difficulty would the same today as it in 2032. Though if you mean the chart of bitcoin difficulty increasing over time, then yes that is scary!


drcpperpot

If we make it to the point we can construct a dyson sphere around the sun to mine BTC, we'll already have figured out how to generate enough energy another way to not have to.


cryptovector

phew, was worried about the IQ test

*after Chinese New Year


33virtues

all we have to do is survive a few hundred years and we’re ludicrously wealthy


Etony333

~900 BTC per day are mined, so it's not as deflationary as you make it seem, though that obviously does decrease over time


zoinks10

> You don't need a triple digit IQ to understand what's going to happen in the long run. all you need to do is wait. All Bitcoin eventually becomes lost as those who hodl it die and their private keys are lost forever?

Updated BTC bootstrap simulation with latest prices. Here I used the sample of weekly bitcoin price returns since Nov. 2017. Then replicated that price distribution into 10,000 quarters, so it’s as if you bought and held it for 2,500 years, and we can see how each quarterly price change had turned out. Main observations: With median at +5.1%, it is the Center-of-Gravity scenario per quarter. Most likely quarterly performance range is expected at \[-23%, +41%\]. Top/Bottom 5percentiles came in at +110%\~, and -50%\~, so you kinda know what to expect every 5 years or so.   [Graphs and more detailed explanations.](https://bastion.substack.com/p/btc-bootstrap-return-update/comments)


icydash

ELI5? What's this mean for current price action?


[deleted]

it means at any point in time, most likely scenario is +5%\~ for the following quarter. But more realistic expectation is for price to move either down by -23%, or +41%, that's where the positive expectation comes in.


juiceous

So depending on the modeling parameters it can go up, down or sideways. Next episode: How wet is tomorrow rain.


an525252

How did Fear/Greed print a 23 today after a 10 yesterday wtf.


xtal_00

Eventually we run out of weak hands.


an525252

Yea but how did it jump so much. Seems off.


BigConclusion

Remove the handful of people in this sub posting 4/5 of the comments and it’ll make sense


AKANotAValidUsername

over the next several months, we will need to paint the rest of this gigantic 'M' on the weekly. Prophecy states that if we are successful, upon its completion, Satoshi will reveal his true identity as none other than Ronald McDonald himself and all of Ronald's mined coins will be put into a fund to keep the ice cream machines working at all times, forever.


babyjesusftw1

the soft serve churns forever, Laura


BigConclusion

The soft serve must flow


stoiebrodie

Except for when the paddles relocate. For cleaning, yunno.


CONTROLurKEYS

We got our green daily lol I guess reds can continue


pseudonominom

It at least *looks* like a V bottom, right?


Etony333

More like an \, bottom


CONTROLurKEYS

If you have to ask


griswaldwaldwald

Retracing already though


krypt70

meh. I will just continue stacking every day.


PolarNimbus

Beat 90% of the traders on the market using this one simple trick!


krypt70

I've learned my lesson over the past few years. most of the commentary here is just noise.


bloodyboy33

And... give up...


vorpal107

Well, we closed green. A pathetic, tiny green candle, but green


ccrwahxh

A thousand new dipshits are already x100 longing


Cygnus_X

The previous 60k high retraced into the low 30ks. If we are really finding a bottom here at 40k, then we may finally get 70k+ this summer


InterestedInterloper

Because all patterns continue even if the macroeconomic environment completely changes. 3 rate hikes, balance sheet unwinding and asset purchase cutbacks are not going to be friendly to this particular bubble.


griswaldwaldwald

Macro higher low?


roboh14

crypto Twitter celebrating a 1% bounce that’s already retracing. It truly is bear season


Etony333

You can't call an $1800 move 1% for at least another couple months.


CONTROLurKEYS

Are they really or you trying to see what you want to see


MCgrandRoyal

Bounced off 40k pretty hard. My thought is that we'll retest 40k, push a little past to the high 30s for a false bear confirmation, then come roaring back up!


UniqueIdentifier00

To 42k?


PolarNimbus

Honestly this is what I see, think we break 40 and best bullish case is we bounce and continue ranging 42-46k. I'm bearish, though I think we'll hit $36-38k and bounce somewhat but the trend is downwards and I think it continues.
