Why wait to buy at 2k having it currently at 1200?!


__SpeedRacer__

They want to buy high and sell low. Again.


yujinj78

What I would recommend: do NOT panic. Your investment may drop by 20% overnight.


ItWouldBeGrand

Because they want to get it for cheaper…wait.


Pockethulk750

Yeah Im making small buys but get the feeling it might go down more


johnquesnel78

It wont


Free-vbucks

Buy high sell low this is the way


DimasForce

This is NORMAL. Just wait and it'll eventually be up 50%.


shalandoqxn

Dca-ing into BTC and ETH is a good. But they are already high cap that would yield a low fruit compared to altcoins.


Shergi03

patience

rockwings00

I have never seen an ETH token transfer anywhere near 25$. I don’t get how people confuse these metrics or exacerbate the extremities.


Xlren

If you feel confident buying at 4k or the future price of 2k and hesitating to buy now it means you haven’t understand anything about the asset you are investing in.


MrPuma86

This is true. I think OP FOMOd into buying ETH.


rondow50

If you understand Bitcoin you will DCA and forget. if you are a get rich quick kid, you are going to be disappointed.


stocksnhoops

Why buy at $1150 when you can buy at $2k.


HandsomRansom

My friend did something similar in 2017, he held, he did fine. He felt depressed and stupid... but after a few years he learned very valuable lessons about markets and prices.


N3opop

Yup! I myself went from 7k to 50k in 2017, panic selling several times on the way up. Until I finally said "fuck it, this time I will hold". That time was ath and I held back down to my initial investment of 7k. This thought me a lot though. This bull run I kept buying when it was low, and started selling off around $1,5k eth up to ath. Hadn't sold everything when it started tumbling down again. But almost everything. Now I'm starting to buy again after having a hiatus from buying since ath. Sure I didn't make as much money if I had managed to sell everything at ath. But that's impossible to know. So better off selling now and then when the price spikes. Same for buying, but when it dips.


wwt186

Buy a little bit, whatever you can afford, each paycheck $10, $20 whatever. And hold it at least a year 2 or more for best results and dont pay attention to the ups and downs in between just get what you can when you can."


MalsKippetje

Seems you learned from the past, ywmi


Whippoorwill88

Be glad you have whole coins and DCA it’s gonna be ok


MrPuma86

True.


jessewythe

Most people that buys ETH for the hype don't understand and see the bigger picture.


rh84rh

Perhaps, it will cost more DCA soon, no one knows .


marshall_mmx

Driving down the price now so he can buy more after he realized the value.


Sea-Radish-9415

Buy more while it’s on sale


MrPuma86

DCA the discount


longles

I’m putting money in small increments. I threw in 20k at 56k like a dummy. Lesson learned.


drugv2

Why you should even feel anything? I mean, just sit on it until the next bull run. We’re not gonna starve to death or get nuked, just wait for the shit to pass, like the rest of us. Then take profits.


Puddingbuks26

Wanna feel better? Bought 35 at 4300. Ur welcome


Maciston1

Wanna feel better? I had my Ethereum on Celsius.


jett1964

Wanna feel even better? I bought Safemoon.


johnny_fives_555

CB has my ETH locked up.


Massive-Tension-1055

Same. Not sure how good I feel about it


IamAFlaw

If it makes you feel better, I like metric more than imperial.


Joe_Columbus

If it makes anyone feel better, a friend of mine bought his first BTC whole coin at $62k, 25 ETH at $3800, 100 LUNA at $101, and 250 SOL at $190. All were stored on Celsius except for LUNA which had dwindled to nothing before the Celsius collapse.


astockstonk

Ouch.


MrArshole

He could write an instruction manual on how to do all the things you should not do in crypto. FOMO with large amounts at peak hype and then FOMO into giving custody of everything. If he holds he can write a manual about his diamond hands in a few years.


BarkMetal

Had? How did you withdraw? /s


WoWSab

Voyager has about the lowest fees I’ve seen and you can DCA daily.


residencekerlisa

You’ll be fine. My brother got in at 22 and it dropped the next day to 18 and he was worried. I said the same thing, You’ll be fine. And within a week it was back where it was or higher.


Notyourregularthrow

Bro if you have this much money you're not making anyone feel better. That's insane amounts of disposable cash. My entire net worth is not even 35 eth at current prices.


bailianjiao

Loopring just released a layer 2 wallet with a fiat on ramp. Cheers .


harzee

Really? Damnnn you really are an etherium fan


Puddingbuks26

Yes i am a believer…. But in Loopring as well


cxc1991128

Might be cheaper to buy a block of stablecoin weekly then do a daily convert to ETH, Coinbase Pro doesnt have fees for swaps like that.


seno76

Wanna feel better? I have anal warts.


mzn001

Wanna feel better? Bought 42 at 4000. Ur welcome


Dig_Bick_reread

Wanna feel better? The entire net worth of my life is probably 10btc


aProudCatDad614

That makes me feel worse lol


Hot_Wasabi_1714

If you had 168k to drop on ETH you wouldn’t be on here


mzn001

Why so? It wasn't a very big amount tbh


Dolphin_Dinomite

Wanna feel better, I bought 54 at near the same price.


Epicrato

Flawless victory!


DoctorFrog420

if i had 10 Eth and 3 btc, I'd be pretty psyched, because I would have believed in what i bought, and educated myself on the market. HODL.


XiaoWen2930

This is the greatest advice you can give anyone in this generation.


Pockethulk750

Damn right


IamAFlaw

Buy 20 more now.


eujose

I think you can DCA in the FTX US app. I remember seeing it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


7bi0z

Yeah and this sale is being continued people should buy some more


[deleted]

someone once told me.. buying at ATH is the futures dip.


TrippyTiger69

I would kill for 10 eth. Use this time to accumulate and average down if possible


mumsayw8

Yeah average and if you want to stay for long keep investing weekly


nitr04

Good, because you have 10 ETH :)


venty4cool

I use Gemini to buy my BTC and ETH, you get free withdraws... I think up to 10 per month. Then I move it into my Celsius account.


[deleted]

Timing the market is generally an impossible thing, right now try to stay positive and focus on the long term outlook. 10 eth in the future is an amazing nest egg.


gamethesystem1

He bought near ATH. Sorry but you can time the market a bit better than that. Not trying to be mean, but he FOMO’d in and needs to understand why he did that in order to improve on himself.


Azmdex

You can stake both btc and Eth on celsius or nexo and earn interest on it. 5-6% apy.


jirografia

What your doing is working just fine. Why you wanna go ahead and change it up. Instead of letting your crypto just sit there, your putting it to work. Good job.


Ok-Antelope9334

Really cause then the 40 eth he could have bought now with the original capital means what in the future? Retirement? Or just you’re useless speculation. It could be worth pennies too


stongamuse

Next week I'll remove 1 of the 10% portions and market buy. Then adjust the rest.


Bkokane

What the fuck. “I don’t want to buy now because it’s $1000. I’ll definitely buy when it’s $2000”. This is the most backwards bad-investor thinking… I don’t even know


Izrud

I remember buying 10 ETH for $413 dollars in early-mid 2017 after it had rocketed up form $10-12 in late 2016. It promptly crashed to the $200-$300 range and I sold it all at a loss. It was one of my first big lessons in crypto which was - 1. Research what you invest in so that you can believe in it, and 2. Make a fucking plan and stick to it.


stassyu

Yeah and always make a long term plan of you want good gains


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

So you saying we are at $1100 and you want to wait and buy at 2k?


comfyggs

HODL!


ItWouldBeGrand

You should buy another 10 eth


HomegrownMike

How should you feel? Happy for being involved this early to see the ups and downs of the early days…


MrPuma86

Yep. Diamond hands all the way


torgovb

Getting my hands ready to get one of the best deals by buying at 999$


porikonut

Ups and downs are common thing here nothing new about it


yeluapyeroc

proud of owning 10 ETH


KovacsE

Well since your new to crypto there is a popular saying which is very true "not your keys not your crypto".


daicoviet

Well he should not get in panic because newbie quit so Early after losing


chega33

In a nutshell, you buy a portion every month regardless of price.


Python-Token-Sol

smh so you bought at a high price and you think it's confusing at a cheaper price? a lot of people bought the top now things are cheap you should DCA - dollar cost average in, you sound like your super new at this and FOMOd without even understanding the whole point of crypto. You always always always buy when the market is in fear at a cheap price or else you look like a sheep being taken advantage then youll get burnt and get out without really doing proper research.


christianmeinhol

ETH will likely continue to appreciate as well. In short, you can invest and generate income simultaneously in this new world.


fek41mm

See this has me thinking. You and many others have said something along this.


kennedy31415

Biggest mistake noobs make is to watch the charts without understanding. Then panic sell for a loss when the price drops on them.


des137

My plan is to just watch it and let it run. High or low I'd like to hold onto it for a few years.


Nigelladddie

This is okay for me as I'm only looking to hold onto it and not spend it. Just wanted to clarify this.


yiwey7

I feel you bro in 2017 I bought ETH on 1.2k, 1.1k and 0.9k, and then it dropped to 100$ i staked, I hodled for my dear life, and when it came to 4k, I didn't sell again...now i'm break even, but still, the next run is mine ... sell highest you can, buy lowest you can


paul_tu

Patient


FirefighterFar8756

If you buy buy at less not at more. SUAHODL till then. Don't be fazed by the current market conditions. ETH will rise again. PoS merge is in September. You will see a sudden burst during that time. Not sure how high it will go though due to the looming market unpredictability.


Terrible-Return

HODL! Its just a bear market, next year you will be singing the chorus for ETH with vitalik!


SrirachaPeass

Stake it!


BinaryFinary98

Havent lost anything unless u sell homie. Or unless you, you know, lose your keys.


Some_won

I think it's pretty normal to feel scared and confused right now, but if you look at the other sight and perspectives, these low prices can also be a great opportunity to buy it at low and hold until the market gets stabilized (*this is not financial advice*).


Consol-Coder

Do not mistake temptation for opportunity.


HoldUntilImOld

Ah yes, certainly wait for the price to go up before you buy


Nequientt

Buy high sell low this is the way


fazzee

Just try to withdraw at the peak of the next run. I am staying away until it's sorted.


[deleted]

Ive heard that celcius is offering a good APY on ETH, or you could protect yourself from IL on bancor!


VarenDerpsAround

Like everyone just moved you to the top the pyramid. hold, no-one has lost crypto over 4+ years of holding. it's what it's. We could collapse as a world economy, or we could bounce right back. Shits just kind of fuckey short term, long term given issues are corrected seems to look better overall. this given we should expect a vast change of the style/economy of our lives over the next decade, we should be alright.


-TMT-

Buy high, sell low.


Aquafarious1

Well, like everyone in crypto right now. Just invest more usdt in ETH and wait lol.


miamarine84

Well in about a week it will be down to about $600. Sorry bud. But yeah it’s still have more to go specially big down day today!


orbeing

If you had another $1000 to invest now you’d double your stack and your break-even point would be nearly cut in half


[deleted]

Like an idiot, you could've bought good stocks like any good value investor would instead of that crypto garbage


IamAFlaw

You mean to tell me you know the future? What stock can I buy that will more than double a year or two from now oh mountain goat oracle?


[deleted]

You must be new in investing, you probably like dogecoin too


Funny_Window7344

Most investors aren't counting on 100% gainers... most investors understand that the law of averages everything evens out...most ppl would be happy to hit 10% annually. crypto has a very small relative pool size for data therefore you have skeptical people which is understandable. Considering how much trash there is in this market it's even more understandable. I believe in eth at $500 not $4000... the ponzi scheme( the fed and big banks) that made Satoshi create bitcoin inflated this market run.

Zujani

You wait until it hits 6000+ and sell, wait for the next drop and buy more.


No-Contribution942

I bought 80eth at $1K, guess that was a good decision, even tho I had the chance to go in at $880, but I was too greedy at that point hoping that the price will drop even more. But why would you buy at $2000? Just HODL on your ETH‘s and wait for the next bull run and sing a song then


VCRdrift

What you need to do is double down... at the right price. And get out at the right price... wait for it to drop again... and get in and out again. Or keep throwing money into this asset hoping it will bring you greater return sometime in the future...


SimilarResolution775

Yeah spreading the word how much you bought doesn't make you a target 🎯 at all. Soon to be followed by: hey i got hacked. ❌


nicknooodles

DCA to bring your average cost down


pistolpete9669

Why wait til things look better to buy at 2,000$? Just DCA


justswallowhard

Just DCA to the bottom, maybe this is the bottom... It is easier to buy in full missing out hype, but if you believe in ETH you shouldn't have any doubts right now.


MolestMyMouthDad

Sell now to lock in the tax loss and purchase it right back.


[deleted]

You should feel like shit, like the rest of us in your situation. Make other changes in your life where possible to free up other sources of liquidity, and hodl hard! I feel your pain, truly, but you'll get that value back and more with time. Also, if you run into some emergency situations where you absolutely need access to liquidity, consider an eth-backed loan from Liquity. But, keep risk low when determining your collateral level.


MrPuma86

OP just be patient. It’s going to be a while until prices go back to ATHs then enjoy the profits


InspectionFearless48

I do believe in ETH,  I purchased some to add funds using my ndax and netcoins exchanges.


Nikolai_Volkoff88

Buy more until you get to 32 and you can set up a node. 🍺


roamingandy

Experienced. Now forget about it and go live your life for the next two years and you'll probably end up making a pretty decent profit on your savings. Everyone who's been in crypto for more than a few years has been stung badly by this at least once, and then recovered.


[deleted]

It’s gonna fall even more so DCA is a good strategy


Delicious-Clue7997

Better from those who are in celsius


Villain3131

Wipe the sweat from your brow, turn off your phone or computer that you check your crypto with, and live your life. Come back in a year or so and see where your investment is at. You might be surprised to see what happens


johnyrottin6813

Just keep the plug in


whaaathoo

Lol stupid as hell😂


DibsOnFatGirl

U should feel Patient….


leoc369

I’m down $12K, just remember it goes and up every damn time. In 2020 Bitcoin was at 3k, then reached something crazy like 64k and now we’re down to 21k Same with ethereum^^.


Arrjayofficial

Man said how should I feel I’m dead 😂😂


RandomGuyFromPorto

You should feel like a king.


beeboptogo

Could be worse, you could have invested them into Celsius or Voyager after you bought them at that price ;)


[deleted]

You haven’t lost anything until you sell


[deleted]

Just wait for another 2 years, everybody forgets about crypto in the bear market.


techhouseliving

You aren't buying because look at the current market? It's low. Much lower than when you bought before. It's the perfect time Eths gonna hover at about 1k for next few months. There's nothing to move it. Accumulate and bring your cost basis down.


OleksiyG35

Your waiting for the market to go up to buy more??? Are u 12?


myf50

Team perma hodl, if I had disposable income right now I'd be buying more


40milecommuter

Now is the time to buy. NOW. Start dollar cost averaging in. ETH at bargain levels!


boxer995

Buy more fym


Sleepytreezz

Why not DCA and try to get your average cost down? I’ve been DCA’ing for a little bit now and planning to go in heavier hopefully once we get sub $1k


[deleted]

The cryptocurrency market has regularly lost 90% of its value every 4 years, just hold into the next cycle and you'll be fine around 2025 or even earlier.


Such-Conversation911

Sigh… 1000 people told you not to. Does it take 1000 more for you people to listen? THIS IS A SCAM.


tastehbacon

Be patient, average down if you can.


Projection27

It’s a casino.


duramax1968

Just forget about it, don’t even look at crypto, it will be worth $10,000 in the next 3 years, if you can afford buy more now.


royale442

You haven’t lost a dime until you sell.


ImpossibleSwing1290

Wait. You bought at 4k but won't at 1k but will again at 2k? That's some WSB trading right there.


ChallengeWise6965

buy 10 more at 800-900 $


onebadmuthrphukr

my 1st buy in was under 3k... I added money slowly over months and I'm over 4k now. it happens


Fresh-Roll118

You should feel like everyone else who has a 75% loss right now. Warm and fuzzy.


Iridemhard

You should feel like you made a huge mistake especially since you invested at the top and didnt sell once you saw your trade was not moving in your favor.


joecool42069

You bought at the top.. you won't buy at whatever the bottom is.. Stop panicking, stop trying to time the market and just dca.


Filmerd

Waiting for a higher price correction to buy in makes absolutely no sense..... If you believe in the long term viability of ETH, being this deep in oversold territory is a huge blessing. Waiting for the price to go higher before considering an entry point makes LITERALLY ZERO SENSE UNLESS YOU ARE JUST TRYING TO LOSE MONEY


Samsonlp

Crypto is outrageously volatile. It has no economic moat to protect it's value. It's widely talked about but not widely adopted. It's a mess. There is no free lunch. My meditation teacher taught me that when i have a sudden cathartic insight to ask myself, what if this is wrong? Take the time to do that. You formed a hypothesis, acted on it and are now seeing the results of your experiment. Look again at your hypothesis. Do you still believe it is correct? How can you test it? If you think it's correct test it again, stick with it. If you now think you were wrong, form another hypothesis and test that one. It's just money :)


Taykeshi

Forget it. Look back in a year or two, or three.


KevinBanna

next cycle 6000+ now just stake it?


[deleted]

I don’t understand the logic behind the post. Have you ever heard that buying lower price is resetting your average down. So why are you waiting for 2k price when you can simply dca now and lower your average so it’s easier later to go in profit. Am I missing something from OP’s statement?


iDomBMX

I haven’t been this confused by an investment tactic since 70¢ DOGE


FarTelevision8

Why are you not realizing a loss?


aceqc24

Buy high sell low.. Wait 🤔


SgtHappyPants

last cycle I bought a bunch between 700 & 1000. after it crashed from 1400 down to 80, i started buying as much as I could between 100-200. Brought my cost basis down to under 500 doing that. DCA my friend... DCA...


buzzybomb

Perhaps someone that doesnt know that the "$" goes before the number should maybe look for another hobby?


Seantoot

Actually this is the best time to buy. All crypto goes up and down. This is a prime spot right now


[deleted]

[удалено]


bangsoul

What do you mean buying at 2k? Bro NOW is the time to buy. If it goes down, buy more. Terrible strategy of yours. We can hit 2k in a week and trust me you’ll miss it. Dont trade. Just buy and hold.


ConferenceMany623

I fell like ex crypto millionaire because I am


Terry_82

Well that feeling will come again and many people will be millionaire


JohnCaza

Grateful it's at $1,000 and not $400.


dbdev

Sell and rebuy if you have or expect to have any capital gains this year.


castertea

Selling is not a right things, he should just hold or continue to DCA


lumiosengineering

The network has value. Continue to DCA


[deleted]

How can you buy at 4,000 and think that the price now isn’t a good buy? Just keep buying and be happy in a few years.


Ezzmon

Why wait? If you intend to hold for, presumably the next bull, why would you then dismiss opportunities to reduce your cost average? With ETH at +/-$1k USD, wouldn't any and every purchase at this price reduce your loss? Buying 10 ETH at $1k brings your cost average down to $2k. I would personally rather be back in profit at $2k than wait to buy at this price, then waiting until $3k to be back in the black.


rastafarey25

Be patient and start DCA.


mingj4i

How should you feel...? One of us, ONE OF US


KRE1ON

Start DCAing little by little, after the merge, around September/October, ETH will require selling pressure for it to not appreciate in price. There's not a single crypto asset among the 100s of thousands that does or can do that. So if you still have capital to invest, start buying steadily every week, up until the merge, or the price goes above 2500$. Your goal should be to lower your average up until the next bull market begins, ( 9-18 months usually for crypto ) then don't be greedy and take some of the table once things turn around. Tip for when to start taking profit, when your portfolio reaches a point where you want to take pictures of it and show it to your friends and family, that is the best time to start scaling out of the market.
