Bitcoin Forum

Supporters believe that investors believe that Bitcoin is an effective tool for hedging inflation in the context of global central bank releases. Opponents believe that investors are chasing Bitcoin too fiercely, and a speculative bubble may have formed. Do you think Bitcoin crash is an opportunity to enter the market?

Bitcoin will fall, but it will not collapse. The collapse means that it is worthless, and Bitcoin has more and more followers. If you don't buy it, others will buy it, and it is impossible to be worthless.
If you want to enter the market, you must first understand Bitcoin and understand the market for analysis so that you can avoid risks as much as possible, which has nothing to do with the time of entry.

"Supporters" believe that bitcoin is the only decentralized deflationary currency that has ever been created and are choosing it to exit their corrupt centralized fiat systems and reach financial sovereignty.
The rest who are too worried about the price are those who don't even know what bitcoin is, these are the same people who you see flee when there is a small drop.

Since price has been close to and a little under the intrinsic value of bitcoin (before the drop) that means there was no bubble at all.
There is however a "reverse bubble" now since we are about 50% below the intrinsic value.

Obviously!

You're asking Bitcointalk, a Bitcoin-focused community, if a price crash is an opportunity. What answer were you really expecting? :P

yes it's an opportunity, they are always saying the buy the dip line which is true. if you have bought at $31k, you must have profited already and ready to exit.

usually, the big crash like the recent one is favorable for wealthy guys like Ray Dalio who had just admitted he bought BTC. he took the opportunity to buy.
it's him who also has a wide coverage when interviewed by a finance new to which he said BTC could be outlawed by the governments.

Always is but in different market, bullish or bearish, you will have to exit shortly or hold for long term.

If it is a bearish market, buy dips and take profit when price bounces about 10% is good enough.
If it is a bullish market, buy dips and take profit around the latest peak or retest of temporary all time high.

It is always good opportunity to enter and only different on how long you let your buy position opens and how much you want to take profit.

Yes it is, the prices of bitcoin are much lower than it was and speculating about the next events isn't going to do you any good because you don't even invest in it. You want profit? Then you would want to get in the market while it is pretty tamed and the prices are really low, you don't want to get left behind right?

Yes, that what's mostly believe, and it's been proven with its existence.

Bitcoin is a speculative asset and you expect those predictions and thoughts which has been there ever since. And every time bitcoin crashes, corrects or whatever term you may use for its dip and decrease, yes, it's a very good time to buy if that happens.

This forum is dedicated to bitcoin, so I don't think that there is no other answer besides yes on this question. Also, to anyone who still has some doubts about buying during the crash, try to look at the prices of the market for the past decade, and you can see the pattern that the prices will always go back up no matter what happens.

Of course if you want to buy at a low price it is the perfect time to enter the market.
But knowing when would be too hard because it could recover when we least expect it or continue to fall when we enter,
This is the problem of most of us who wants to maximize our profit from the dip.

Touché, anyway if you ask it out there, i mean a non-bitcoin forum-related, for example, you could ask it to a "investor" (on whatever he invest ...), he will reply you the same. It is not only that this forum is fully of btc fans is about that there is an active that is at low price that is very likely that it will increased his price now, so ...

I would not call it a crash to be honest with you, any person who is a cryptocurrency buff knows this. This is a normal correction that is happening and this has happened so many times in the past that we already know that the price will go down eventually and correct itself after all the hype. All we need to do now is take advantage of the dip and buy more Bitcoins and buy more alts so that we will have a new opportunity for the coins to grow again and become much more higher.

everyone will definitely answer yes, because if we enter the market now ,, we will likely make big profits in the future ,, for those of us who have money and are brave, this is the right time to collect bitcoins``
sure bitcoin in the future will recover and reach its usual price ''

And you already got an answer here and I say it's for most. It's always an opportunity to grab that cheap bitcoins but I may tell you know one could predict the crash and only speculators are worried about it but definitely it's an opportunity for them to buy low then sell higher.

Those opponents you're saying are slowly getting into the space and those who does got early from their former belief will got the last laugh for who aren't.

One must always calculate the risk before buying BTC as it is a highly volatile currency. Yes, If we consider the potential of Bitcoin we have a good opportunity of buying BTC at the moment as it is available comparatively at less price if we consider all time high. Even many big players posted they bought BTC in the Dip. For BTC it is always good whenever you bought rather than repenting later I am saying this because in the recent year value was quite less but I always thought it is very high so on that basis according to my experience one can buy anytime if he/she plans to hold for long-term.

Every dip is always an opportunity in the ecosystem, a certain dip will fierce your mind and so there are different stages of dip, do you know bitcoin coming down to $50k was at dip? now it isn't dip anymore, the exact dip to stop is not know by anymore and that's why it's good to buy bitcoin and other altcoin at every dips, imo, the best way to go with dip is having Fiat money available to never miss out on any dip you come across., Grab the opportunity and wait for another dip.

the answer is very simple, what do you think bitcoin is worth?
if the answer is a price lower than the current price then don't buy. but if you think the bitcoin worth is so much higher than what it is and what it reached a while ago then it is obvious that you should buy now.
unfortunately nobody can give you the answer because it is too obvious and you have to figure it out yourself otherwise next time we see another dip you will be just as confused.

In my opinion, this is logical if you have free resources and a desire to participate, this is ideal! I was hoping that the price would fall even lower, so I missed the bottom a little and bought at the level of 32-33 thousand. But this already perfectly showed that the decision was correct. I realized that such moments do not happen so often and I need to take the opportunity, since I have already missed this opportunity several times and now I want to get into the trend! %)

Every crash of the market is an opportunity for anyone or someone who wants to enter the cryptocurrency. Due to the market crash, people may enter to the market as they will not be suffer on a huge gas fees and also they will experience the down of the market then when they enter the down market eventually they will be the one to get their first profit. While the others thinks that the down of the market is not opportunity because they are just thinking that the market will just continue and continue to dump unlike with the others who have the faith and patience.

There is a news report out today that Bitcoin has hit a record high amount of holders (defined as two inwards transactions and no spend, ignoring dust amounts remaining in wallets):

https://www.proactiveinvestors.com/companies/news/950483/bitcoin-holders-hit-record-high-as-crypto-investors-buy-the-dip-950483.html

This would bode well for the idea that small scale investors are still happy to pile into this asset and are considering this dip a decent buying opportunity. However, sometimes it is the small scale buyers that get screwed over as the smart money is slowly pulling out. There will be many large whale investors out there who bought in at $15-20k a year ago and want to see some profits before it all potentially vanishes again in the current bear market trend.

For the past years, we haven't seen serious inflation, talking globally, so it would be true to say that Bitcoin yet has not been tested for hedging inflation. Interestingly, the inflation rate isn't as high as people seem to think (yet) if we compare, say, to the year 2018. And the recent price manipulations are, in fact, talking against Bitcoin as a tool against inflation. Let's see how this goes when 2021 is over.

Bitcoin crash like now is a good opportunity to enter the market, but some people do have a fear that the Bitcoin price will still fall even further.
But having doubts like that in my opinion will end up making people waste the opportunity to enter the market at a low price. So don't hesitate
to enter the market at the current price, even though it turns out that the Bitcoin price has fallen again, there's no need to panic, because how
deep the Bitcoin price goes down, eventually one day it will go up again. Indeed, the key to investing in Bitcoin is patience to wait for the Bitcoin
price to rise.

You have said it, a lot of people waiting for that moment to come and we are almost there.
So if you think that Bitcoin gives you a better opportunity then don't make yourself doubted as it true. So, don't make a miss this time as this dumps couldn't be taking so long and it pumps again. Coz if the market demand will increase, it is more likely the price will increase as well.

Grab your bag now and fill it...well, you should know also how to hold while waiting for the price to rallying back high again.

I too had the same thinking when the cryptocurrency market started to rise and it is true that the institutional investors were chasing the coins and investing in it irrespective of the valuation for a long time and so is the reason we never saw any major correction until it reached its all time high valuation.

If you are a short term trader then you can use every crash to collect the coins but if you are looking for the long term, you should have the patience to hold that urge for sometime and eventually you will see a bigger correction so that you can invest again.

Holding from buying at its crash is definitely easy to say but hard to do. The market is so unpredictable and there are instances that after you bought the coins, the price has dropped even more. Weak hands will resort into panic selling because of fear seeing their investments failing. However, strong hands have more experience about this bitcoin crash so they stay calm and hold the coins patiently until bitcoin recovers and sell them when the price is already profitable to sell.

Bitcoin crashes like now is the perfect time to get into bitcoin. But it must be noted, looking at technical analysis is needed to know whether it is safe or not to enter. Don't just walk in, buying at the lowest support will save you. buying gradually is also a good strategy so as not to miss this good moement.

Although the price of Bitcoin has fallen sharply, in the current international context, the end of the decline has not yet been seen. If you want to enter the market at this time, you may face the risk of the currency price falling again. But if you have a better bearing capacity, this is a good opportunity to enter the market. In the long run, Bitcoin will still rebound.

It will not matter for someone who will look at the long-term effect of holding the BTC investment. But it's going to be good to enter the market when it dips to the lowest to get most of the profit. However, it is very difficult to identify where the bottom of the market. Opportunities are hard to find when you keep looking for the right time when its actually NOW!

Not sure about that mate. In the not-focused-on-bitcoin investing world, bitcoin is today still quite a controversial asset; especially if you're talking to the older technologically-illiterate ones. Which is somewhat a good thing, mind you. It means we're still early!

If you think that the price of Bitcoin dropped by half is a crash, then you may not know enough about Bitcoin. Bitcoin has experienced more than 50 price halvings in its history, 12 times it fell by 90%, and 4 times it was close to zero. Every time someone asks the same question, the reality is that Bitcoin will reach a new high in the second half of this year. I hope you can cherish this opportunity to buy at a 50% discount.

It depends on how you look at the market and how you trusted this mate because like me , I'm waiting for this opportunity when drop happens so i can buy another set of coins from bitcoin to altcoins while others make the opposite.
50% in crash? lol 4k is the last dumping price in 2020 and we have just make more than 11 folds this year.

Most likely yes. If the market trend is always in uptrend the new investors and institutions cannot fill their bags with more Bitcoin. During the dump, they can buy as much as they can as long as it is still on the target budget for Bitcoin investment. Then they will hold for long term or short term depends on when the target price may come.

Indeed it is! But it all depends on an individuals risk taking appetite. There were people back in 2017, who though 20k was too expensive for them to get into bitcoin market as they though the price is going to drop soon and never come back. Now in 2021, the price is standing at 39k and we are considering it as a crash. Now think how much money they could earn if they got into bitcoin at 20k level. It's all about time. Now they can't get into bitcoin at 20k. The opportunity is gone!

From the past trend, bitcoin has a cycle of 5 years where it reaches its peak and then come down to a certain level and then go back up. This is what is happening if you look at the chart of bitcoin carefully. So for me, it is indeed a good opportunity to buy into bitcoin now.

BTC supporters actually don't know what the investors are thinking about Bitcoin.
Some investors might be thinking that Bitcoin provides protection against inflation,other investors buy Bitcoin only because of the expectations to get huge profits.A very small amount of investors buys BTC,because they believe in the future of blockchain technology.
The "Elon Musk bubble" is over,so I hope that no new bubbles will be pumped in the next few months.
Yes,this is a good time to join the market.

When you see a bitcoin crash, you must use that time to buy bitcoin, but you should not use all of your money just to buy bitcoin because you need to manage your money for another thing. People involved in the bitcoin world know that every time bitcoin crash, that will be their best time to buy bitcoin at a low price. So I guess a crash a few days ago makes many people have the opportunity to buy bitcoin and hold it. But some of them use that moment to buy low and sell high and I guess they already make a nice profit.

Sure and certain, the current state of the market has an answer to this question, market prices fell so badly and many people panicked and sold at cheap prices but the wise one's bough the dip and believe those who bought the bottom are already in profit, the market is already retracing back to the top, this simply shows that a market crash is a big opportunity for investing because surely the market will pump again, a correction in price is an opportunity to tap in.

Yes Its big Opportunity l! We are simply not going any lower, stop listening to people causing panic which are dumb short sellers that literally just shorted the dip and try to encourage you to sell your coins so that they make money. Short term (next week) we are definitely going up and then will see where the whales will take us. SELL YOUR CARS, SELL YOU HOUSES, SELL YOU WIFES AND BUY AS MUCH CRYPTOS AS YOU CAN!!!

Although, the answer could also be: I think it's lower than the current price, but it will eventually be higher one day, and I don't know if the price will actually go down to match the value. Maybe the value will catch up to price instead some day. So in order to not risk the price never coming down to match the value, I would like to buy it now.;)

When I got into Crypto currencies, people repeated this mantra over and over again... "Buy Low & Sell High" and I took their advice. The end result was a 800% profit on my initial investment. So divide that into the 4 years that it took to make that profit and you end up with 200% yearly profit on my investment... (Show me an legal inflation killer investment that yields 200% profit in a year and I will also invest in that)

What I have experienced in my 8 years in Crypto currencies is this.... "Crypto is not a Get Rich Quick scheme... you Buy low... hoard ... Sell for a profit when it spike" ...then rinse & repeat.  8)

The first thing that happened is Elon Musk complaining about carbon footprint and the environmental issues created by Coal mining to generate electricity and that being used in the BTC mining.
The market reacted negatively and the price dropped, as the uptrend was going on for quite some time now so the dump was also bigger.
The support levels hit and people started buying. {PEOPLE}
Now Elon Must is telling that he has been talking with American miners to decrease their carbon footprint and increase the use of Green energy for mining.

The question is who didn't buy the dip.. We might know the one guy who did it.  ;) ;)

Undoubtedly, such price crashes are an ideal investment opportunity at the bottom of the market. This is true not only for the Bitcoin and crypto market, but also for each asset - when the market collapses it's time to buy.

The big owners of Bitcoin (BTC) are aggressively buying the bottom against the background of the latest price adjustment, which increases the chance that the coordinated sale may come to an end.


So my answer is 100% YES

I think this is an opportunity. You can buy Bitcoin at a low price and wait for its price to rise. Past experience tells us that we don’t have to worry about this situation. With the support of the underlying blockchain technology, the price of Bitcoin may fall, but it will not return to zero like other digital currencies. So what we have to do now is to buy Bitcoin at a low price, and then believe that it will once again work miracles.

Absolutely...many were waiting for the crash, and I can't deny myself.

The Bitcoin price still moving in an indefinite direction, up and down, from $38k to $40k (at this moment). It is a need for us to observes the trend first before investing and too risky. Only risk-takers can do this, not these doubtful individuals but if you have some guts, then grab your bag and filled it.

To me, any time is the best time to enter the market when it comes to Bitcoin Investment but entering when the market is down is a sweet deal you MUST not miss. You already understand why that is since you will get even a bigger profits on your investment  ;)

That's right, I've always been taught buy when people panic sell, and that's great, I tried a few times and it worked, we just have to be smart when it comes in and when it comes out, don't follow the panic, but we have to believe our predictions.

Yes especially for people who are waiting for the opportunity to invest in BTC, so buying when market price drops are the best time since it will bounce back eventually to achieved its previous price range. Massive dips occur in the history of BTC before, but BTC overcomes it and reached its ATH. So we expect something like that would happen again since history repeats itself.

An opportunity to....panic. Well for some people.
Some aren't used to price correction anyway in here. We will see a lot of threads like this for few more months to come.
It's just like that good ol' reaction when Bitcoin crashed to 3k back then.

Most of the newbies and beginners would say that it is gonna be the end of Bitcoin if it crashes. They don’t see any positive side of the bear crash or so, as they are not yet matured on how the market works. Of course, it is unpredictable but Bitcoin will never collapse ever. Either it’s an opportunity to panic or to buy at a discounted price.

Absolutely. It's not too late to get on the train even if so many people thinking like this. The ride is not over and not going to end soon.

- Although the crypto market has had a pretty heavy capital pullback but a large part of the capitalization is still stored, even going into waiting mode to enter the market again, and with such factors, negative attitude really is not necessary, Bitcoin is cherishing and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, it's clear that those who have grown up and survived on the script always know this and they always choose to stay. Another journey will begin, this moment is waiting for everyone to step in the right ranks, fear or brave.

The hard part is determining what is the tip of the spike. I much prefer to advise people or investors to set a target, and cash out at that target regardless. Wait, until Bitcoin takes a hit again, and that's your next investment start point. Currently, because of how volatile Bitcoin is, you get these opportunities. However, this will likely change, and become less dramatic over time, which is when I would advise hoarding it, would be the best option or simply by that time using as a currency might be a little more viable. 

It absolutely is an opportunity for everyone who remotely believes that Bitcoin can recover again. BTC is 40% down right now, and looking at its history, it's reasonable to believe that the price will at least get to the previous ATH at some point (although it might take a few years). So even if a person couldn't care less about the technology and ideology behind BTC, it's still a good financial opportunity. As for crypto enthusiasts, it's a nice chance to buy some BTC at a relatively low price and wait for its glory.

Actually this is part of game,A strong trader and crypto lover take it as an opportunity when BTC crash.This is time to get in the crypto and HODL for long till get expected profit.But it is mandatory to have proper knowledge of coins and invest carefully in different coins which can give you profit in future.

I think a crash is always a reason to buy at an attractive price. While we have not yet flown to heaven with the price of bitcoin, you can and should buy it. Otherwise, when my son grows up and asks me, "Dad, why didn't you buy bitcoin when it was worth less than a million dollars?" I will not have anything to answer him, only for this reason I am ready to spend my time and money so that the future is brighter and more promising for my children.

I believe is an opportunity for those who wants to invest in  Bitcoin, buying more Bitcoin now at a lower price, and also been smart enough to know when to sell, many people sells their Bitcoin with the believe that Bitcoin Price won't rise, that is will keep dropping. And they end up losing. It takes courage to keep your Bitcoin now.
But Bitcoin price will hit more than 80k before the year runs out, and people who bought it at a lower price will sell at higher prices and basically make good profit. Bitcoin price will surely bounce back, we just have to be patience.

This is the problem with buy low sell high, agree. It seems so easy to do, especially now when we're in a cycle and can see the market go up 2 or 3 times from 2017 ATH. But I always feel afraid of selling too far from the tip, and what if the rally just goes on and on and then you end up never being able to buy back in? Then your journey is "over" and you didn't enjoy the top.
