I see its now under $18k, down 14% today.

Should I buy now? Or wait until its in the $3-4k range?

Well doubt it goes to 3-4k range, I'd purchase a decent chunk at 15k

My buy zone to start scaling in for long term holds.

The day the Fed slows its tightening pace I’d buy a chunk.

If there’s ever a Fed “pause” I’d buy another chunk.

If the Fed were to actually pivot I’d go all in.

Events unrelated to the Fed that would make me buy a chunk: escalation of conflict in Ukraine, major outbreak of civic unrest in the EU, Chinese invasion of Taiwan, things start popping off in the ME.

So have we officially dispelled the myth that BTC is a hedge against inflation and its really more of a high risk equity?

Crypto isn't a hedge against inflation.

Crypto doesn't provide anonymity or protection against government seizure.

Crypto isn't uncorrelated with stocks.

Crypto isn't "hard money".

Crypto isn't going to displace the US dollar.

Crypto isn't going to be used as a currency.

Crypto is basically like a chain letter scheme that burns phenomenal amounts of energy for no reason at all.

Crypto attempted to circumvent the financial regulations, like Uber or Airbnb,that have come to exist for a reason over the past century.

Why that exact price point? I mean, what is that based on?

Why do you say Crypto when the thread is about Bitcoin?

Yes, not all change but the following:

quote:

Bitcoin doesn't provide anonymity or protection against government seizure.
If you acquire non KYC bitcoin, it does provide a layer of anonymity. But even moreso, holding your own bitcoin keys (aka not being a damn ratard given what has happened with CEXs), there is literally no way for government to seize it without showing up at your door with a hammer and breaking your legs.

quote:

Bitcoin isn't "hard money".
This depends on how you define hard money. Bitcoin is backed and secured by the largest decentralized network in the world and cannot be devalued, duplicated, or altered without consensus.

quote:

Bitcoin isn't going to be used as a currency.
It is currently accepted by thousands of merchants and millions of people on the planet. No it is not going to be the main form of currency for everyone.

quote:

Bitcoin attempted to circumvent the financial regulations, like Uber or Airbnb,that have come to exist for a reason over the past century.
Bitcoin has no governing body, it has not circumvented anything. It is not a security per the SEC chairman.


ETA: Crypto on the other hand, I would agree with most of his statements. There is a difference between the two

What you buying for?

Trade or investment?

If investment, What is the underlying measure for which you can ascertain value?

Ask yourself, how much do YOU value bitcoin? Why do YOU think it's worth X amount?

FOMO or listening to manipulation by others are some of the worst things you can do with your money.
