Funny how sorcerer wannabe's try to find ways to be correct no matter what?

Don't you recall instructing to go away for a month or two?

You are saying that it is all about reaching the number?

In other words, u doesn't know shit...

Except that there was a lot of momentum.

Another thing is that when there is a BIG ASS wick.. like the one that we see from the last hour or so, and then a pretty BIG ASS bounce back, which seems that could be happening currently, then there could be a sign that the bottom is in.. but surely not guaranteed, and I am personally not going to rest very comfortably about the bottom being in until we are a considerable distance from it in terms of both quantity and time.. perhaps getting back above $50k.. but depending on how it may play out in the coming week or so.


Size of the bounce back (short term wick) looking pretty BIG right now (from a low of $30,066 about 40 minutes ago to a bounce back up to about $37,581 about 10 minutes ago).. but I surely do not claim to know much beyond wanting to criticize others for making pretty strong claims of certainty in regards to the future... which frequently is problematic... so I have no clues if this wick is going to resolve the matter or we may have another leg down.. depending on the way recovery plays out.. and very difficult to speculate with any kind of confidence (not that I ever do) while the dumpening and attempt at recovery battle is in progress (edited this paragraph to add current bouncing around numbers).. price currently bouncing between $35,800-ish and $36,500-ish in the last 5 minutes or so as I type.

Patient friends, the price will definitely increase again, there is no price that always goes down,
correction is very reasonable in the bullmarket, of course, with certain conditions, if from the existing index,
this year is the year for altcoins, if you hold altcoins then just hold, don't sell it cheaply

This thread is about bitcoin, so your suggestions about what to do with shitcoins is off topic.

I personally believe that HODL does not apply to that crap, but that is a discussion for some other thread, for sure.


This thread is not about "crypto" but as far as bitcoin is concern, the suggestion of OP is to buy ever dip and HODL.. and sure some of us, including myself, also suggest continuing DCA.. but that all applies to bitcoin.. regarding shitcoins, you must be more strategic regarding your ins and outs.. and that remains a whole other discussion that is beyond the topic of this thread since the principles are likely different, even though many people get mislead into believing that they can apply the same principles to shitcoins as they do to bitcoin, which seems a really BIG error in thinking from my perspective.

Regarding bitcoin, seems that there have been good opportunities to buy in the past week or longer.. and I am not even going to rest assured that the bottom is in until we get back above $50k.. so there could be some uncertainties in that regarding if it is going to take a few weeks or perhaps 3-6 months.. I doubt that it will take longer than that, but surely there are not any guarantees even when sticking with attempts at analysis of the king daddy.

Of course, we can have differing view on these kinds of matters, and I believe that it might even be a stretch that you are even following the same advice of the OP that you wrote in this thread or some of the underlying ideas of the title of the thread.  Of course, each of us is entitled to change our mind, and frequently, it is a good thing to attempt to learn with the passage of time from facts and logic and so changing our minds is likely expected, yet having communicated with you somewhat on this topic previously causes me to speculate that not even you consider yourself to be changing your mind with any kind of material and significant substance because you some how seem to believe that calculating the BTC price to be toppy or whatever other nonsense you seem to be suggesting causes you to be giving pretty damned crappy advice to your friend.

Hopefully your friend is either not listening to you or maybe you could at least put some kind of disclaimer in there about your not really knowing too much including that you are both scared by your own shadow and the implications of your earlier advice to the thread to buy on the dip... blah blah blah.

Not only are you fucking up in terms of considering this particular price run to be frothy, you seem to be failing/refusing to recognize as price drop of somewhere in the ballpark of 53% (from $64,895 to $30,066) as a pretty damned decent buying opportunity in the whole scheme of things - especially for anyone who might be considering buying on dips to be part of their approach to bitcoin accumulation strategies. 


I believe that any of us look stupid when we try to lock too much into trying to predict the BTC price with any kind of specificity and putting too much of our eggs in such basket.. and maybe I am even contradicting my own thinking and practices here because through the years, I have been preparing for UP, not tending to sell too much in order to mostly be prepared for UP and to buy on dips.. but there are expectations that in the long term the price is going to go up.. and within that even if any of us might not get tied too much into short term price predictions, we might have some practices that attempt to take advantage of short term volatility.

Furthermore, I perceive that one of the problems of your own shorter-term attempts to figure out waves, is that you are hedging for a possibility that the end of this wave could possibly be over earlier than expected but at the same time suggesting that the BTC price could go up so high that the bottom is relatively higher than our current top...

Fuck that shit, Wind_FURY.  What you are recommending to nocoiners makes little sense if you really dig into it.. and is almost to a degree of incoherence.

A way better suggestion is to say something like:  "I am so fucking scared because the BTC price could go up or it could go down from here, and even though I would usually recommend putting 1% to 10% of your investment portfolio into bitcoin, since I  am so goddamned confused about the matter, and there still is a possibility that your investment into BTC could perform quite well, I am recommending only putting 1% into bitcoin and that will end up being practical in terms of balancing upside and downside risks."

I still am having problems with that, but it is better than saying keep your value in dollars in the next several years.. but whatever, I already largely said what I believe in my earlier posts  and as each of us develops and hopefully implements our various prongs of our strategies, we end up being in a better place to make further tailoring and tweaks with the passage of time including deciding if we might put more value in one place or another or to just HODL because we are comfortable with our allocations and recommending anyone who is already on zero to stay on zero is fucking irresponsible.  Fuck that. 

Every single person should get the fuck off zero when it comes to bitcoin, and it is up to them how much of an allocation to make.. probably the main exception is getting their financial shit in order so that they might be able to determine if they can only put $1 per week into bitcoin or if they can put $1,000 or more per week into bitcoin.

If you can do it, then every single other person (or institution) should be able to do it too.  Sure the proportions might be different based on a variety of factors including how much they might already have in bitcoin... and surely, I propose that there should be some urgency for those who do not have any value in bitcoin, and part of that malpractice would be to be telling nocoiners to wait when that is already their scared ass inclinations.. so if you tell nocoiners to wait then you are reinforcing something that they already want to do... which is to scare them out of getting the fuck started.

Hey, I am no damned salesmen when it comes to talking to people online or even in real life because I am frequently telling them that they gotta do what works for them.. but I almost tell anyone who asks about bitcoin to get started rather than waiting and for me, it does not even matter what the BTC price happens to be at the time.... but of course, we do not completely ignore price either because once getting started, there may be some considerations of the current price, historical price and where the price might go in terms of figuring out actual allocations and ways forward.

Of course out of the three BTC accumulation strategies, there are ways to proportion each part of those allocation strategies.. that is the lump sum investing, DCA and buying on dip.. and of course, the HODL is going to kick in when anyone might run out of money at various points and the dippening keeps happening beyond their budgeted amount.



Buy with everything you can, once you establish your budget.  Of course, peeps gotta establish their budgets first, and so many people do not really have good grasps on what is their budget exactly.. get that shit in order and then buying with everything that they can should also be divided into the three tactics of lump sum investing, DCA and buying on dips... There is no need to shoot the whole wadd at one price and then have nothing left if the price dips which just causes feelings of panic to NOT be in a place to be able to do anything because all in was already done at a much higher price then the subsequent dippening price.


I doubt it is "safest" to say wait... Seems to me safest to "get the fuck started" and then to apportion in accordance with your own situation.  So set up accounts is the first thing.. maybe put $10 in each account, figure out your situation, establish your goals and plans and then start to execute.  Some people can spare $1 week and others might be able to spare $1,000 per week, but I still might suggest to be careful about whatever is done, so frequently, I will suggest establishing a plan that allows for 6 months or longer in terms of attempting to plan out a budget..

So let's say for example that a person has $6k in cash and $6k in expected cashflow over the next six months, then that is $12k for their 6-month budget but they do not have access to all $12k at that particular moment.. and they better NOT be exaggerating their expected cashflow either..,. because each of us should attempt to be realistic with our own projections of our cashflow and what we have reasonably available to invest into BTC or anything else for that matter.. gotta be able to continually be able to pay the bills and to pay any emergency expenses that will come up.. and emergency expenses are inevitable.. especially if you have not planned for them #justsaying.

Sure $12k might seem like a lot of money, and a lot of people might not even have that much extra that they can afford to invest in bitcoin, even if spread over 6 months.. but whatever, I largely am using that amount because it is a nice round number and easy to divide in several ways.

For example, lump sum might involved taking 1/3 ($4k) and investing right way or alternatively taking ONLY 1/3 of what is actually available ($2k) and investing right away.  Then the next 1/3 wouls  be set up for DCA so $4k/26=$153.85 per week, and then 1/3 for buying on dips.  Maybe look at our current price, and then consider intervals down to $20k  $4k 40 would be $100 for each interval (or some other variation of comfort that could be moved with the passage of time)..

So if during the next 6 months there is a cashflow shortage (there better not be because hopefully your cashflow estimates were already conservative), then there might be a need to take from the allocation.. more likely, if you have planned conservatively, during the next 6 months there might be some cash that comes in that was not counted upon when making the 6 month projection, so when the new quasi-unexpected cash comes in, it is plugged into the three categories of the existing system.  If the amount that comes in is $3k for example (yes nice and divisible) then it is divided by 3 and 1/3 goes to lump sum, 1/3 goes to DCA and 1/3 goes to buying on dip.

Anyone can adjust the specifics to their own situation, but there should be attempts to consider all the categories, especially if in an accumulation stage and on a budget.. once accumulation goals are met, then there would likely be a lot of relaxing of the practices and strategies.. but then also much easier to sit back and relax a bit once accumulation goals are reached... sure if someone is relatively young in their 20s to 40s, then they might never really believe that they graduated from accumulation goals because their fuck you (retirement) timeline might still be a wee bit into the future.. but again, each person has to consider those kinds of matters, and surely you might consider that I might be picking on the young-uns, but I am not, one of the problems of being in your 20s is that there is a whole fucking long time to need to be able to support ur lil selfie on whatever richness that you have accumulated.. so you gots to be careful in terms of pulling the fuck you lever way too early if you are in your 20s if you have not figured out a plan in which the amount of capital that you have accumulated is able to support you without unduly depleting the principle in the process of 50 to 70 years of drawing upon it if you were to be so young and with a potentially long timeline in which you would be wanting to live off of your accumulated wealth.


No problem about being confused and humbled, even though your outline of the OP does seem to apply, especially if we have a dip, then shouldn't we either be buying or HODLing?  And, if the dip last long enough and we might have some cashflow come in.. let's say that we earn anywhere between $3k to $6k per month (again nice round numbers), but for some reason, we have about $2,400 to $4,800 in expenses, so we ONLY have $600 to $1,200 (round numbers) left for consideration to potentially put into bitcoin.  Are we going to buy the dip?  DCA? HODL? or something else?  Sure, waiting is a form of HODL, I suppose, but if you don't fucking got ur lil selfie no bitcoin then you are NOT prepared for UPpity.. you are ONLY prepared for DOWNity, which does not seem to be a good place to be..

One of my ongoing suggestions for everyone is to prepare for both directions, and sure you have to come to your own conclusions regarding what those preparations can reasonably be, and so many nocoiners and even bitcoiners themselves tend to be way more prepared for DOWNity than they are for UPpity.. and that has been part of their problem, even in the past couple of bitcoin cycles.. to overly prepare for DOWNity and to under prepare for UPpity.. and historically bitcoin has shown us (likely to continue into the future) that you do not even need to prepare a lot for UPpity in order to be able to profit stupendously from whatever UPpity preparations that you have made.. just get the fuck off of zero.  hahahahaha

Sure, opinions might vary, but I would assert that such season never went away.

Of course, if we go into a long season of a bear market, by definition there would be advantages in waiting, but one of the problems even with waiting in that context would be that you could end up being wrong about the extent of the bear market in terms of both quantity of drop and length of the time that the price is going to be down.

In 2018, I personally did not concede that we had gone into a bear market until about mid-November when the BTC price broke quite severely below $6k and went down to about $4,500 right way and then got down to as low as $3,124.. so I was not conceding bear market for very long, and we did not even stay there very long.. but I did not concede to being out of the bear market until around mid-May 2019.. when we saw a pretty rapid rise in BTC price starting about April 1, from the lower $4ks to about $7k or more by mid May but even that did not last very long until the end of June getting to $13,880, but I still continued to assert that the bear market had been over as of April 1, even though I had not appreciated being out of it until Mid-May.

And, sure I have been told my personal definitions of what is a bear market or a bull market do not fit with traditional and widely accepted definitions.. and I give no fucks.  In essence, each of us who are attempting to incorporate buy the dip strategies that we might increase or decrease in terms of where we feel that the market might go will need to have some parameters for how we assess where we are at and where we might be going.. and if we might want to attempt to be strategic about some of our cash or maybe just have some quasi-blind systems about other portions of our stash so that we might not overthink and end up getting some matters wrong by holding back too much cash when maybe we should have injected a wee bit more than we did on whatever dippening had happened already.

Myself too thought about the price of bitcoin reaching down to $25k, but the recovery has happened very fast. From experts point the price of bitcoin is predicted to gain good resistance around $38k. Breaking the $38k barrier will push the price forward. In such a way I'm sure there is more growth to happen than decline. Users who invested at the dip will be now enjoying the profit.

This growth will happen for certain weeks time, after which there is possible chances of massive crash.

For capital preservation, and conservation, it’s obviously always better to buy an investment as low as possible to get more during the times of “ uppity”. Capital is limited, we should use it carefully. Plus it’s also better for the investors’ sanity. Hahaha.


It was a mix of FUD, whalecumulators sold, and market liquidations.

It’s a personal choice, and for me, who has been observing the market for, more or less 6 years, it was obvious that everyone was in FOMO after it had reached and surged above 2017’s ATH. I want to buy in times of fear, to get a better deal for my limited capital. I’m not rich to buy Bitcoin priced at $60,000, and keep my sanity after it crashes -70%. Haha.
