O.k. We read differently, and I don't concede that a previous pattern implies the next pattern either in duration nor in intensity... especially when the way up was different in this 2017 one, too. In other words, you cannot just begin from the downward point, you have to consider both the upwards slope that got to the top and the downward slope, not just one side of it.
All charts are hidsight of course. IMO their main usefulness is in telling us why/how a particular price move happened. My own methodology starts with the premise that a Bear Market has a job to do. That job is to shake out the weak hands. The higher the previous rise, the harder the job will be ,hence the use of % retracements etc (which are flawed anyway). How the weak hands are shaken out is a combination of circumstance. The BCH/SV debacle is merely one of those random circumstances : the fall was due anyway. In fact, better to get it over with, deep , sharp and quick. Slow attrition is harder to recover from. In BTC terms this is not a crash. $2000 next week is a crash. So I kind of agree with you, the jury is still out . They never really reach a verdict until its all over.

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Just read on Reddit that this drop could be Due to Craig and Johan hash war.
Those two Bitcoin billionaires and scolding their BTC to fund their hashwar.
The hashwar is costing only around $1 million daily. That's not the reason. CSW/Calvin selling/shorting the market while they make every effort to spread chaos maybe is.

I'm now happy that I've already lost 80% of my portfolios value. Can't really seem to bother anymore about losing another 5% or so. I have about 25 years to go untill my desired retirement kicks in. Time is on my side.

It's interesting how even long timers forget how this market works. This is nothing out of the ordinary, just annoying.
Alright, you know what, fuck it. I might sound bipolar as fuck but I’m going to the bank now to move cash in so I can buy. That's the spirit. Buy dat dip!!!!!! GET our BTC price going back up. I bought some at $45xx-ish and $43xx-ish.. hoping that I am done buying for a bit, but who the fuck knows? And about 2021 are you thinking about selling early 2021, mid-2021 or late 2021? or do you have flexibility beyond 2021? Just wondering? 2021 was just a guess of mine for when we might see a huge increase in price. I was just going off the pattern we usually see post halving. The next halving is mid 2020 so I’m thinking/hoping we’ll see a new ATH as previously 6-12 months after the halving. I make good fiat in my life, I have my own business that earns me a good salary so this is not going to kill me. My hope is that bitcoin makes me a multimillionaire post halving. I’m waiting for $40,000 - $50,000 per coin then I’ll sell about half. I can wait until 2022 & onwards but mid 2021 (ish) is my dream scenario.

So... which price will be the bottom?
Interestingly, it's almost like at the BTC/BCH fork happened more than 1 year ago.

At this rate of -$1k a week , we only have 4 weeks at most to the bottom @ $300. In other words the real bottom is close. $3k, $1300, $1k. I dont see a long sideways action when we hit it though and expect a relatively quick climb to $6k again. Perhaps sideways will resume there for a while though Reason for the collapse are unknown unlike previous years but it was certainly triggered by the bcash debacle which reinforces the idea that this event is being used to force the price down

Scary thing is...the last dip dropped below the previous ATH.
The previous ATH in this case is $1200.
Ironically enough I got like 6 job offer e-mails in a row yesterday. Looks like it's time to go back to work.

If i were just starting out, i'd dollar cost average. 4.5-3K. I'd be astonished if it got below 2K, set aside dry powder just in case.

Actually going to buy £500 worth in a bit. My gf said I should buy £500 a week again until we hit £10,000. What do you think? I guess we have to add to our stash whilst this happens. Make the best of a bad situation. I do have moments of panic & worry - sorry

(Dear Lord... I feel like I turned into JJG)
Good job. Imitation (even if subconsciously) is one of the greatest forms of flattery...  (Dear Lord... I feel like I turned into JJG)
Get the fuck out of here with this apparent pretense of being using some kind of self-defined wordy prose just to be able to claim any kind of pretense at being in the vicinity JJG-ness within 63.5-72.2%. Even using numbers and probability. Tsk. At minimum, he must have been in the JJG wall of text ballpark of inspiring peeps not to read it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all. And sometimes, size doesn't matter

then get back on it for a few weeks-months Eh, this is just a really screwed up month. Going to be hell for bitcoin ATM operators, the things will be stuffed so full of worthless fiat as people buy the fucking dip.... But a good chance to pick up some coins and replenish the supply. Hm.....
