Today most of us are getting near-to-death experience again and again. But wasn't this dump expected? This was in fact much required and much expected as well, for stability of bitcoin's further rise. Nothing in the world just goes up and more up, with any correction. These corrections (big or small) are the requirement of time, and we're having them now. So it's good.
Though I don't think so that bitcoin is gonna go less than $10,000. The current dump should be enough of correction.
Been in this for too long to really get fazed much anymore. It was actually quite entertaining to see a small fortune being wiped out of my portfolio over night. Perhaps I'd get an NDE if we went down like 99% though... that would hurt. Indeed. The vast majority of us bought in triple figures (or less....). This is just amusing. I've already got a return on my investment fiat wise. However, watching my net worth plummet by thousands was not pleasant at all.  Oh well, keep plugging away with mining shitcoins with my 1070.  I find it highly entertaining. Watching years of salaries disappear and reappear in the blink of an eye is just a lot of fun to me for some reason.  I've been thinking of setting up a huuuuge LCD screen as a "painting above the fireplace" kind of thing, that visualizes my crypto portfolio. If I ever got to a point where millions just disappear and reappear every few minutes I'll probably just have to bite the bullet and do it. Maybe some guests would end up getting heart attacks watching it, who knows.

Well ... I doubled my bitcorns ....
hats off, that, by definition, takes some serious gonads Thanks.. It wasn't much. Just single digit, now double digits. This happens only once every two or three years, or I've managed to only do it twice so far. I make more bouncing around the alts. Congrats! Welcome to the double digits club!  I don't have the balls to trade big amounts anymore nor be overexposed to exchanges risk. You took the risk and you won, well done!

I didn't think bitcoin could be this volatile with the size of market cap it has now. I was wrong. It's going haywire right now!

That also avoids some other... less pleasant issues.

Are you referring to like kind tax rule? I wonder if that applied to USDT as well? Either way its going away in the coming tax plan.

Among other things (fiat is just a pita to deal with). There are some other loopholes though, which I'd assume would only apply in a very limited way in the US, if at all.

Yeah, every trade is a taxable event to US persons. Whether that is buying coffee or litecoin. It is property according to the IRS.
Even if you thought you could get away with the like kind exchange rule, you still have to report every trade individually on the exemption form.
If it were classified as a stock, you could just report net gains and losses but not so with property.
They have made compliance nearly impossible so unless someone passes a law to exempt transactions prior to a certain date, a lot of people are going to owe back taxes and penalties if not jail time.
