I hope there is a crash so can reinvest! 15k btc would do nicely. I have no plans to take out so the lower the better!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Still don't get this mentality... that's a 60+% drop and probably 90% drop for alts... That would shake the market and mean another 2-3 years in the wilderness again.
Sooner or later, these kind of cycles will just tire everyone out and crypto will be a dead idea.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s a completely rubbish ‘idea’, a price drop like that would score people like UWW off buying too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Relax guys
Probably just a late comer who is looking at the $40,000-ish top right now and thinking $15,000 is where he would like to buy in, not thinking about the fact that a drop below $20,000 or even $25,000 could be pretty catastrophic for the market as a whole. For all we know it could recover quite quickly anyway if there is a massive rush to buy in around $20,000 but I do agree with you both that it's not the type of drop I ever want to see again personally as I don't think it would be healthy.
Having said that, Amazon stocks often fell by 50% on their way up so these things can be natural.
Pleasing to me was to see that once Bitcoin dipped below $30,000 last night it didn't take long to settle and start recovering, I did have some slight fears that some Wall Street predictions of it heading back down to the $20,000 area could be correct.

Very pleasing and profitable if you are day-trading
The actual issue is whether US or Chinese national banks make and back their own coins(seems inevitable) and fight BTC for dominance - then what the outcome is and which becomes the intl crypto currency
These tech is here to stay

Well Blarmy, that would be a punch right in the face of what cryptocurrency stands for and the point of decentralisation and restoring power to the people.
Cryptocurrency enthusiasts would not support those coins at all.

Yep it would. However China wont stand for becoming the dominant economic power but not having currency dominance though.
Its going to be a fight imo
Im backing BTC but i dont think its dominance is just guaranteed forever
Surely the China/EU coins will be stable coins tied to their currency. It won’t affect btc any more than tether or any other stable coin
not to have an effect on BTC if China has the digital yuan and is able to get networks outside its borders to opt in
Terher is not really comparable
The market as we know it know will obviously change dramatically with innovation anyway. God knows what it looks like if crypto starts being used transactionally more than fiat
Everyone investing should at least remain aware of what the national banks and regulatory bodies are doing with regards to BTC
What comes out of the digital yuan is going to be important for how China approaches it

LINK smashing it again. Third ATH in a week.
Aye LINK going as planned
Just trying to decide if I will move it into BTC when it hits $28
It’s doubled in price since I invested. I keep moving most the profits from it into BTC & ETH, leaving it at the figure I initially invested.

They are going to try to curtail! However, let them try.

Well, it's banned in China already.

Must be hard to trade in anything unofficial with such heavy censorship of the internet.
I'm sure there are loads of OTC trades... and with bitmain being the main btc miner, i've no doubt that the Chinese government are part of that. Very odd situation, btc is banned, yet being the main btc miner is just fine!
It is funny, the main reason governments are interested in making digital versions of their currency is to track every single penny/cent. Bitcoin was always thought of as this untraceable thing, yet blockchain tech lends itself very well to being highly traceable (unless coded to be privacy centric, like Monero).
I'm sure I read that China gives free electricity to BTC mining companies.
Another ETH & LINK ATH overnight.
Bitcoin looking bullish.
