Price wise, Bitcoin was in a very scary place when this OP was written, so I'm not surprised at the sentiment. The market was in free fall and dripping through the low $3,000s. It was very easy to imagine it failing below the 200-week MA, or retesting the 2013 ATH and/or failing below it, things Bitcoin had never done before that would suggest an end to the historic bull cycle. If things had gone differently and BTC traded sub-$1K after the post-2017 bubble pop (something that seemed very plausible not all that long ago) this discussion would sound a lot different.
The OP is not simply wrong now - he was wrong then.
And we are still scared. I am. Let's be honest, you too. Yet here we are hodling and thinking if the time has come to start buying again.
Are we? If anything I am quietly cheerful that n00bs have handed us back our coins again at another 80-90% discount and are once more decrying the untimely death of Bitcoin. Bravo n00bies!
