It's all true about no or diminishing cycles, but then it is difficult to find pivots. Maybe go by oversold conditions, but you could still be off by quite a bit. The best policy is to not sell much for a long time. It worked for AAPL, GOOGL, even MSFT and it should work even better for bitcoin. All schemes that include buy/sell every thousand are pitiful. Buy in oversold conditions, sell (if you must) in overbought conditions. That said, those situations might still carry on for extra 20-30%, so achieving an absolute top/bottom is a rarity, but try we must. Even if it goes back to $10k, I am HODLing, will keep on buying coz I am proud to be the first 1% in this technology. That escalated….. 10k talk etc….. <snip>This sums up the behaviour of both the spot and the derivate traders. I'm sure their loss is tremendous, but they continue to believe doing the same thing over and over again will give different result at the end. This is just the definition of stupidity. of course, because most of them are playing with "other people's money" (OPM).

Bitcoin market vs Wall Street:
2018-2021 in bitcoin is the equivalent of Internet in 1997-2000 (the early pile up, volatility in 1998 that could be compared to bitcoin's 2020 episode, recovery and fast capitalization growth).
2022 (plus maybe part of 2023, maybe not)-Wall street, having figured out that bitcoin (with or without others) is THE GAME (witness where all former head honcho regulators from SEC, OCC, etc got the new jobs), wants to push bitcoin down as much as they could similarly to Internet stocks in 2001-2002.
late 2022 (hopefully) or 2023-we start the bull run that would last a VERY long time and would go to incredible highs (for comparison see charts of GOOGL, NFLX since 2004). The underlying cause-mass adoption, of course.
TL;DR it rhymes with the Internet story-line.

The Fed has signaled it might have to raise interest rates sooner than expected to fight inflation. This is why bitcoin is down.
Now we also know why Elon began selling so many shares of his company.
edit: Oh, the Fed's policy meeting took place Dec 14th-15th. The plebes only found out what they discussed today.
that's all temporary. with debt loads we have, the 10 year rate above 3% would be near impossible (without a wave of debt delinquencies). Great point about Elon, though..in fact, many insiders sold quite a bit. I also agree with SEC in this instance: if you have an established stock selling plan (and most of CEOs have it), you should NOT be able to sell much more on a whim without triggering some penalty, otherwise, it is insider trading, pure and simple.

LOL…. Srry @biodom But imo everyone goes to fast in flow with the trend 1 week back @49-50 some say ATH close to days later no ATH in 2022 The things I read sometimes huh? i don't think i was too bullish, but i am not really bearish either as that twitter guy is . If we were lower than expected on the up, maybe we would do better than expected on the down...and I would certainly hope so.

Some analysis..may happen and may not:
With Nasdaq up above 20% and S&P 500 up well above 20% as well, historical numbers suggest a continuation of about +10% for regular stonks for 2022.
Bitcoin should be ahead maybe 20-30% as it is more volatile. 46K plus 20-30% is 55-60K by the end of 2022.
However, during a year of fast economic growth and some tightening, there is often a Spring weakness to the extent of 10-15% in S&P 500.
Nasdaq is already doing something on the down side, S&P would likely follow.
Therefore, btc might also have an initial drop to 32-36K (if we break 42K). Reaching 42K is pretty much a given, sorry.
Stopping at 32-36K would establish a higher low from where we can launch to 55-60K toward the EOY.
TL;DR A skewed V for 2022 (with faster relatively small down then up, but not ATH).

Shorters are being relentless lately, indeed. One already got rekt.
just one? is there a famous case on the interwebs? the original bitcorn dude or stolfi? you don't mean our bastion of negativity, proudhon, who is allegedly the biggest hodler of them all (trying to play with the little fish here).

I wish i could find a decent card for MSRP instead of buying a whole PC (with that card) for a price of the card (retail). This is seriously pissing me off.

@jjg..the problem with you is that you are wishy-washy about EVERYTHING and not willing to take a stand. F-g percentages. Basically, you: 1. don't want to risk anything 2. hide behind 'negotiations' 3. did not take a chance to DOUBLE your stash while having a 4:1 odds advantage.
I conclude that you are all air (or bits, whatever). I cannot take your opinions seriously anymore, but not a surprise, really...you has always been one gigantic gas bag.

Happy new year everyone. So I'm gonna break my my cardinal rule of never posting food pics just this once, only because this one made me laugh. A Hassel-back russet potato I made for 1st time, with homemade mushy peas. Believe it or not, it was actually really delicious. Presentation wise? Well to me, (and most likely everyone else) it looks like a giant dog turd next to a pile of green nasty who knows what. And that Sriracha squirt red blood spatter design doesn't really help.....prison food a la carte maybe? Gordon Ramsay I'm not..... GO BITCOIN To me, it looks like Mario, but it should have been two green "eyes", of course. Happy NY and bon appetit!

@jjg...i hope EVERYONE has seen now that you weaseled out from a straight bet with a VERY favorable odds. To me, it says a LOT. Here is something for you to put your hat on now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H5a-l9-hqUto me, this sounds ridiculous, but the 'weasel party' would like it. a small question: if it goes to 2023, then why it is even a cycle?

OK, 9mo is Oct 1 3:30pm now, indeed. Apart from this, you just want to weasel out, do you? You don't even have the funds or the courage, so fuck off or take 4:1 odds (which you implied) like a man (whatever).
Well, it could be 0.31 from you and 1.24 btc from me if you want this. ...I am going to enjoy it (taking about half of your s-t).
no other terms and no terms about your 30-65K betting bullshit. take the odds in your favor or stfu.

Pretty sure Max Keiser promised 220k by the end of 2021...
Nothing a new "clown" act cannot fix.

@jjg "A false irrelevant and unimportant indicator that you would like to cause to be relevant, when it no doesn't mean shit."
I think it is quite important, and if you think that it doesn't than you are delusional. To go in one year from 73% to 40% is not nothing. In actuality, i was actually cheering it UP, not down and you got enraged by a mere mentioning of the word. What's wrong with you?
@jjg Regarding our bet-I would like to call your bullshit on this.
Here are my odds and conditions:
Since you give 25% to above 200K, I would bet 0.4 btc that it won't exceed 200K until 1pm EST Sept 1, 2022 and YOU would bet 0.1 btc that btc would be above 200K at some point between now and the date mentioned here earlier. 4:1 odds in YOUR favor. I don't care betting on exceeding 30-65K range and I would not accept any other conditions.
uie-pooie says what?

We are closing 2021 at exactly 40% in dominance with another coin at 20%. I just wish we pop back up at least to 50%. I would drink to that as it is the minimal i would expect from btc as far as being the dominant cryptocurrency out there.

Happy upcoming New year!
I feel kind of sad about BW not hitting that 100, but it is what it is.

@jjg...at least cite right..and stop making up stuff.
"price prediction models are broken" != "bitcoin is broken"
...it simply means that there ain't a formula that can predict the price at certain time in the future, but, personally, I think that we would be in a $30K-$65K situation for the next 12 mo. How? we can stay flat at 42-50K or continue down until 30-31K, then rebound back to 60-62K and continue oscillating. $20K-200K range covers pretty much ALL possibilities, but the tighter range above (30-65K) also looks right to me.
One thing is 99% sure-there will be NO blow off tops (above 200K) in the next 1-9mo. Wanna bet something? How about those 0.31 btc of yours?

The.Book.of.Boba.Fett straight up retarded beyond description and literally stole storyiine from John Carter Warlord of Mars.
Please bro, don’t tell me it’s bad…. I was really picking a date to start and enjoying it… Have seen we got a similar taste….. Hoping you are wrong. Hating feminist stuff as well @torque just like I hate all political society Mirror BS… What if a black guy, Chinese, Arab or woman plays Bond for example…. Just not working… or the Rock LoL… Same as a white guy doesn’t need to play Muhammed Ali or whatever…. But nowadays when I see movies I almost cry. Like when a team of six always got a gay couple mixed origine preferred, a white guy, colored guy, Arab and Chinese or something lol (or woman from different origines) Just WTF is wrong with movies and political BS…. The cause: product placement and trying to reach the widest audience using the lowest common denominator: ethnicity. However, when it does not happen, remember all complains about the Golden Globes. In short-we get what the populace as a whole deserves. In partial defense of this: in alien movies they always say a first couple of phrases in their "native" tongue before switching to perfect (or accented) English. People accept this suspension of disbelief because it is easier this way. Similarly, it is easier for them to provide politically correct casting than to be subjected to possible lawsuits later on. EDIT: a funny thing about Expanse...star ship engines keep making roaring sounds in the vacuum of space...and, strangely enough, it feels right when you watch it, but complete bs, of course.
