it has never been possible to predict when a downtrend is going to stop.

last year people drew charts comparing bitcoin in 2017 with bitcoin in 2021 and expected price to reach all kinds of high prices all above $100k.
it didn't happen.

what i'm trying to say is that history does not repeat. and these two charts don't really have that much in common either.

it is funny when people don't remember how ETH chain has also gone down multiple times, many of it were during 2017 when they were superpumping it and the nodes kept failing since their buggy centralized apps couldn't handle the small traffic rise.
the only thing ETH 2.0 is going to change ins the wealth of the wealthiest and ETH chain will keep going down possibly even more because it would put more pressure on already centralized nodes that they can not handle.

i haven't seen any Lambo guys either.

what the hell is going on these days. last time i was around the only thing people were comparing bitcoin to was gold and even they were called crazies but now i have seen people compare bitcoin market to everything and insist the movements should be the same!!!
did COVID eat everyone's brains?

although i don't like speculation based on previous movements but this reminds me of an important thing. during each of these periods where price was at $1000, $100, $10 and $1 there were A LOT OF people crying about bitcoin price and how it can't go up beyond some random price number.... at the time....

the answer is in a little keyword that you missed. US didn't "evacuate" Afghanistan, they fled it.
for 20 years they couldn't do anything to taliban so the extremists only grew in number and strength while the number of body bags US produced went up. eventually they had to flee leaving behind $80+ billion!

here is another interesting thing to consider. US is being kicked out of middle east not just out of Afghanistan. they just started evacuating Iraq. you see the balance of power has been changing significantly and it got quicker ever since the big mistakes that Trump made during 2019-2020.

those who are actually buying bitcoin these days like me are keeping it under the radar on the off chance that price may start reversing up and they lose the opportunity to buy bitcoin cheap

it won't take that long. the conflict is going to end soon, my guess is in 10 years. but i don't know which one of the following scenarios is going to put an end to it.

first scenario is what i'm hoping for because it is the peaceful one and will have the least number of casualties.
it starts by powers such as US stopping their support of Israel terrorism.
then the world powers must sit both sides down at gunpoint and set the clear borders which they already know what they are too, they also mentioned them again during this conflict. and push Israel out of those regions.
Israel must also be disarmed by IAEA, be forced to sign NPT and be under serious inspections by IAEA agents with their snap inspections.
then regional powers must stand watch and each time either side crosses those borders they have to intervene with their military instead of just standing on the sides and condemn one side impotently. for example if Israel did another air invasion all their air fields must be bombed by US and Russia. not just invading Palestine, they are running their terrorist operations in a lot of countries in Middle East, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq,...
same with Palestine. if they went over those defined borders they must also be punished the same way.
the problem is that they come up with such "deals" while ignoring Palestinians then Israel also ignores that "deal" too keeps on invading and expanding, continuing the genocide!
this scenario has not happened yet because the word powers (US, Russia, China) love the chaos in Middle East since it benefits them greatly.

second scenario is going to be the worst.
the conflict keeps on growing and as the power of the resistance grows (as it has been over the past 7 decades each time they clash) eventually the small land that Israel has occupied so far will be taken back when they are attacked on all sides from all those countries they keep hitting every week by the same angry people their families they have been murdering.
the problem with this scenario is that it will have a lot of victims on both sides with Israel being wiped out and would only end up existing in history books. and the worst part is going to be Palestinians who would then be then in control of a possibly large nuclear arsenal who would also be angry about all those countries who have been supporting the genocide.

even Jews all around the world are speaking out against the crimes committed by the Zionists while you want to keep your head in the sand and not read past their propaganda!
it doesn't matter though because the reality won't change.

these days every time i read this term be used to describe Palestinians it reminds of The Man in the High Castle. it's a 60's novel and a more recent TV series about an alternate universe where the Axis of powers (Nazi Germany and Empire of Japan) have won the word war II and are now ruling the world. in US that is split in two between Nazis and Japanese there are Americans forming resistance groups who are disrupting the occupiers rule, for example they bombed a train moving Nazis weapons into San Fransisco IIRC and the next day the papers and news outlets (now owned by the Nazi government occupying US) read "terrorist attack" then they lined up civilians and killed 10 for each soldier they had lost.

funny enough back in the 40's when Nazis were invading Europe and their planes bombed civilians including hospitals they made claims like this. the same planes dropping bombs were also spreading flyers claiming the "Allies" are responsible for these bombs:


the targets are changed, the names, ethnicity and religion of the victims are changed but genocide hasn't.
Nazi regime wanted to expand its territory and capture the whole world while killed everyone mostly Jews in their gas chambers and furnaces
Zionists regime wants to expand its territory but on a smaller scale and only in Middle East (for now) while killing everyone mostly Muslims but the technology is advanced they don't need to build gas chambers and furnaces they use fast moving planes they buy from US to drop globally banned bombs on them to burn them in their homes and in their schools,...

Maybe but this sounds more like wishful thinking to me

you guys are taking pumping so seriously with the stories you build around them for justification which funny enough you forget the moment dumping begins

as long as doge is not used in any place that accepts bitcoin payments, it is not going anywhere past  the joke coin status. and the day it  starts being accepted as payment is the day that its fees shoots up to at least 10x of bitcoin's transaction fees because the doge technology is the exact same thing as bitcoin's!

lets start a coincidence group to get all participants kicked so that we can enter then dissolve that group so that nobody can do the same to us /s

don't worry the unexpected dips that come out of nowhere are not that rare for bitcoin. 10% drop of today is among the small ones despite all the FUD campaigns that have been running to try to dump it more.

the reason why price dropped is because i needed to buy something with bitcoin worth about $100.
the HODL gods got angry with me and decided to smite the market hard to make me spend more bitcoins


iregardless the altcoin bloodbath is funny to watch today

it is funny to watch the bloodshed in altcoin market each time bitcoin has ups or downs.

considering that altcoin dumps are bigger this year i guess more people are catching on that they should sell their alt bags when bitcoin rises or falls.

your mistake was buying altcoins in first place which is why you have been losing a lot of money.

Ethereum's dump didn't start recently, it has been getting dumped for over 4 years now. The golden days of ETH was 2017 because of the ICO scam mania and ended right then and there. 2018, 19, 20 and 21 have been the days of ETH dumps.
with bitcoin price rise, this dump slows down and sometimes ETH USD value goes higher so people start thinking the dump is over but again when bitcoin stops the ETH dump continues.

what I do is that I never invest in shitcoins. I always only buy bitcoin.

DOGE would definitely pump hard like it has pumped before each time he trolls the internet with a meme. but also it will dump right afterwards just like all the previous times because the pumper want to make profit and the only way to make profit is to sell.
also DOGE has unlimited supply with a LOT of bag holders who are looking for a small rise to sell and get out.

if i'm not mistaken they were saying the same thing about 2021 new year and even though many were waiting for a "dump" price betrayed them all and went up a lot instead.
