Cryptocurrency mega-thread

[evolved2]

I won't be buying any crypto until the end of the year AND only if the prices drop significantly. I don't see light at the end of the tunnel in 2025. I'll be investing in holidays, and perhaps gold and silver.

I think there could be a good opportunity early 2026 if the market dives. I just don't expect Trump to back down. So far he's done nothing but doubled down.

2026-27 will likely give us the depths of the bear market.

I've learned a lot since investing.

1. Don't trust anyone that talks about getting rich quick.

That should be a given.

2. Don't trust anyone hyping crypto gains on the basis of historical data.

Altcoins are born to die. They usually peak in their first cycle.

3. Pretty much everything on Twitter is garbage, either complete B.S, or scam

You're following the wrong people.

Twitter is an amazing resource of good traders.

4. Meme coins are a scam (I bought a small amount of Shib)

Doge has survived many cycles. The memecoin market became saturated.

5. Be cautious about people who are ultra excited about crypto. At least I've learned that those people really don't know what they're talking about.

Those types are usually scammers.

6. Crypto is volatile and you need to be prepared to hold, and even lose your money. I know people who took out significant loans to buy crypto and are probably 10s of thousands down paying 10% interest. I may have overcapitalized initially but back on track that I'm happy to hold.

You'll probably lose more. Altcoins are rarely a good longterm investment, especially when you buy at the highs.

I bought heavy at the lows.

I just realized this means you need to declare as any asset test which is stupid given the volatility of crypto.

if you cash out, yup

How can you possibly follow historical trends? We're supposed to be in a bull market according to the experts. The economy is constantly changing as we are seeing. Trump was the saviour to crypto, but he's sent it downward. It's merely coincidental with previous bull runs. People turn to high risk investments when the economy is strong. This coincided with the stockmarket between 2021 and 2024. Microsoft surged 4X. There are way too many variables to consider to extrapolate past growth.

I'm not listening to anyone who puts a few lines on a chart and says that the bull market is 6 days away. I've been hearing it on a monthly basis since September. Scores of people into crypto, the so called experts told me if I don't get into crypto in September I'll miss out. Then it was November. Then December 23 these experts said we had 6 days until crypto booms. Then it was January 18th, then Februrary 18th, then March. To be honest, I'm sick of hearing it.

But if it's an asset, isn't that assessible like a house? I'm not sure, just asking.

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Don't hate me guys - I bought some $TRUMP at $27.

Masterful Gambit, Sir

You're listening to the wrong experts. I can point out a few twitter experts who were bearish at the top.

The only metric that makes me think we're hitting new highs this year is that we haven't had a proper alt season yet.

I suspect the Trump presidency was the ultimate buy the rumour, sell the news event. Everything he promised was already priced in, and we fell for it!

Sold at a loss already. Meh.

I hope my offering helped the king purchase his new red tesla.

Weak!

Holding all the way down is the sign of a true man.

[PoppedCorn]

ive held since 2017
never tried to time a top so never had to time a bottom to get back in
ride the wave i say and just keep adding as you can and stack those sats

 

[PoppedCorn]

Coin Bureau just dropped a nice vid on the manipulation of all markets

 

[evolved2]

I reckon another shot at 90k is on the cards here.

Reduced exposure.

Thought we would fill the CME gap at least.

What disingenuous claptrap. BTC goes up it's because of institutional adoption, people see it as a store of value, it's becoming normalised etc. BTC goes down it's because of manipulation. Rubbish.

How many videos have they done pumping various altcoins and parroting the virtues of decentralisation? How many videos have they done pumping SOL? And then they have the nerve to criticise it for being manipulated. Laughable.

Year after year they call for regulation and they get it. Then they complain that there's no regulation? They get the regulation now they are complaining about manipulation? I can't keep up.

They double their bags with Blackrock getting involved and laud the virtues of BTC. Then they complain about the very institutions adopting it and allegedly crashing the price?

It's just markets. Sheesh.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Yeah Its not manipulated at all buh

 

[evolved2]

I still think higher for now. A close below the 50WMA is the line in the sand for me.

 

[PoppedCorn]

look at when the 50 crosses the 200 and whats happened after that

 

[evolved2]

It's over. No new highs for 3-4 years at least imo.

Does anyone truly think we're still in a bull market?

It's going to be out of sync. Will depend on financial markets, interest rates and key policies. I think we might be 18 months away. But I'm not buying into past trends

Very unpredictable with the current US administration.

I'm waiting for tonight. Wouldn't be surprised if ADA hits low 50s, Bitcoin hits mid 70s

I'm targeting my buys at the lower bollinger bands for BTC. Daily and weekly.

Going full bulltard now. Higher.

 

[evolved2]

The worst is priced in already. Up.

 

[evolved2]

Fartcoin up over 20% while stocks melt.

Lol. Tomorrow down 46 %
