I'm loving the drop. Allows me to accumulate more Bitcoin, that I wouldn't have before. Since I'm in it for the long term, and to avoid trusting banks, I don't need the money I have saved up right now, and probably won't for the near future.
Most things in the UK are covered, like health related issues, so no additional unexpected costs, I'm debt free so that isn't a problem with the increasing interest rates. So, I'm just using this time to stack up more Bitcoin, and not too worried. I don't even check the prices of Bitcoin, and I've gone a fairly long time without. It's only now that I'm interested in what's going to happen with the looming recession I'm a little more up to date with the prices. Otherwise, the only time I see it is when it's posted here.
What I don't get is I know a few people who have been waiting for a moment like this, always talking how they'll invest if it takes a significant drop, and always talking about missing it years ago. Well, this is a pretty good opportunity to follow up on those words. You can see that the confidence around here has taken a hit, but there's plenty of us who are still remaining optimistic, so optimistic that a lot of us aren't overly concerned at all.
Late last year when the bitcoin price was above $60k I often heard people say they would buy if the price dropped below $45k, then I saw again people would buy if the price was $30k and if we don't buy now then I'm sure tomorrow or the day after tomorrow the price will skyrocket again and we'll say the same thing as above.
Exactly. What people are saying it they wish they had the hindsight to invest at like 20 quid a pop. However, that's not going to happen, and they probably wouldn't have invested even if it was still that today.
