My point still stands though when talking about the Poli board which is very heavily leaning conservative but many of those folks are anti bitcoin. Boggles my mind



Because many that post there are simple minded and politics have rotted their brain. I say that as a devout libertarian.

They’d rather rant about how the government will ruin everything than actually think practically about how they might come to be

I started a poll over there and man, I admit I was wrong. I'm shocked at the response. Maybe just the loudest voices are the anti ones

Well, I got a nasty gram for starting a bitcoin poll on politalk. Last I saw before they deleted the thread was 65 pro bitcoin votes and 5 anti bitcoin votes.

I think y'all are mistaking pessimism towards the government with being bitcoin haters or thinking they "want" it to fail. Right wingers have been taking L's for a few decades so it's probably just general nihilism about freedom and markets.

On another note have y'all figured out a way to value the network? Or where you could point me to that would?

BTC has a huge head and shoulders on negative divergence

Look out below

Wow, they have turned this up a whole notch. Wasnt expecting it this quickly. This article was published on 5/8/21, then Elon Musk slams BTC just days later and it drops $10,000.

I wasnt sure how they planned to do it, but it looks like theyve gone after BTC in a full frontal assault, assuming it will bring down all other miners with it

Will be interesting to see how far and how fast BTC falls

you realize we are all projecting a halving cycle right? most assume starting late summer, early fall based on previous cycles but we all expect to see sub 40k btc at some point or whatever the halving cycle takes us to.

uh, this is not a cycle event. We were less than a year out from the last cycle. An article by an major publisher, and a statement by a huge investor are planned hits, not halving events

I started this topic because of the actions Ive seen that is targeting crypto. Its here now. Faster than I anticipated. And they arent going to stop. Tying crypto to energy use was a brilliant move on their part.

The halving cycle is still to come

And they have done the same to small and micro caps since Feb.

They actually even blew the tops off of most of them on very heavy volume before crashing them.

I have to admit that I am surprised at how fast and far BTC is leading this decline. I actually never thought BTC would get below 39,000 in this round, because this drop was based off 1 magazine article and 1.5 tweets

And now you have this

Same playbook from 2018.

Btc will crash 75% from previous ATH and sit flat for awhile and repeat the cycle.

So if BTC gets into the low 20s that would probably be good timing to dump more into the crypto market presumably?

Robbobb.. so what is your take? Just making money on shorting or trying to get in at lower entry or the beginning of end of the crypto boom?

I'm just trying to time my next buy in. I'll probably buy in some more in the upcoming weeks since the dip is already pretty substantial

But I don't want to dump everything in now if it continues to pull back

Guess I just need to DCA it

Two plays:

1. Call it a day and check back in 6-12 months and dump your fiat then “set and forget”

2. Watch markets for sign of a rebound to try to swing trade your way up to the cycles possible max of 100k.
