When literally every company in the world has their own private "coin" or ICO and they're all up 500% because of it, that will be your sell signal.
Yes ! ... but to buy what ?

I think if something important as that can come out it for sure will be integrated, and i think exchanges who will integrate it first will profit and all the users will switch. I think if the LN is available it won't be that hard for the exchanges to create ln wallet for fast storage and transactions.
Why would average exchange give a damn about LN? Trades are done off-chain, large portion of bitcoin "users" don't even own wallets (buy for fiat on exchange and keep it there), to deposit - user still has to pay miner fee to open channel (so makes no sense), withdrawal fees can be passed onto users (to discourage them for withdrawing). I don't see any immediate incentive for exchanges to implement LN. They would likely be the last to jump on it, unless there's a massive demand from users, but average traders would hardly benefit from it, if at all (with an exception of arbitrage traders). Yeah, it's not really on their interest right now. Maybe it's time to open new exchanges that uses LN and are more transparent with their finances, I'm sure that would attract a lot of users ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

The vacuum of the ripple implosion is pretty amazing. Haha, it sure is rippling the market. You know, I almost feel bad for the people that invested in it.
Ask my boss how he feels about his Ripples ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) He's already a (fiat)millionair but still believes Bitcoin is to expensive while i advised him serval times that you can buy Bitcoin for $50 and $100 etc. Best part is that i told him i bought the dip during X-Mass....Boss: b...but did you spend $12.000? lol. He had Bitcoin but sold all below $1000 while i strongly adviced him to HODL! Most people here are miles ahead of the unknow, sheeps will never listen, just like talking to a wall no matter how many times you explaining it to them. A million dollars a year will soon become the poverty-line wage. The poverty line wage today was amazing money a few decades ago. You would literally have to make like 100 million USD in crypto to be able to retire in 40 years, and quit your job and stuff. Not much to do with your story, but just a thought! Not true, almost all investments should counter the inflation. And if you belive that all investments will go red in a total Armageddon financial crisis, you can just go roach and store gold and silver instead of fiat. I will retire when and if I'll be able to cash out the equivalent of my salary until 70 years old +retirement untill 100 yo, I think it should suffice. But for now that's only a dream, I feel a bit ashamed for that and somehow envious of all the multi-millionaires on this forum, i did never gave much value to money but I value a lot the life quality (not luxury but having time etc), and my inability of giving money their importance is the reason because I probably missed the chance of early retirement, an huge life quality improvement. I still belive in bitcoin (the project, not the asset) and I really hope as hard as I can it will go to Pluto, but I would suggest all the people that are able to do so to cash out the equivalent of their life-wage, and enjoy financial freedom. I think that richness don't make people happy, but the freedom of using their time is a prerequisite for an happy life (you can still work when and if you want). Hodl my hand, i hope that soon we'll all be free, and don't be too greed, because you can never satisfy greedness.

It seems like they want to keep at these prices, I guess I did not know how well they did not progress like this.

Yup, two good tests at $13 - $14k and holding. Buyers and sellers finding balance (finally!).

More importantly, we are getting price divergence with the other cryptos. Ripple moving down, Ethereum moving up, while Bitcoin is moving sideways. Investors are starting to distinguish between coin specifics.

tulips
I'm not worrying about the current pullback or sideways motion. I'm confident we're headed higher in 2018. Possibly much higher. The medium-long term future, however, now that gets me thinking. In today's finance news there was ample coverage of both Buffett's and Munger's words. None of them mentioned tulips, but the meaning was clear. I sure imagined their stance on the matter - it's old school finance, for Satoshi's sake! And the guys are not exactly techno-savvy millennials, either. But I don't know why - Buffett's calm, grandfatherly words, spoken with a good-natured smile, unsettled me much more than scumbag Dimon's outburst. Grandpa Warren said he's not interested in shorting, of course. Why would he? It's finite upside vs infinite downside, and he knows. However, he would like some 5 year puts at a strike price near the current spot, if they existed. What made me cringe was my own thought: "Oh how nice! I'm gonna get some now too... oops, there is no such thing." Please tell me I'm wrong, or it doesn't matter, or whatever. Explain me why I'm wrong or it doesn't matter, or whatever it is. Thank you.

Who gives a shit? He openly admits he understands nothing about it. Same goes for most of these talking heads. They could well turn out to be right anyway or pathetically wrong. If you're sensible you extract a certain amount at a certain price anyway and the rest is all fun.

It's finite upside vs infinite downside, and he knows.
Like Nassim Taleb (and any proper thinking mathematician), I would think the downside is limited (Bitcoin can't become less than $0) and the upside is unlimited (or: potentially much higher than the downside). The perfect example of an asymmetric bet that Taleb has written extensively about. See the concept of an asymmetric bet explained further here: http://contrarianinvestorsjournal.com/?tag=asymmetric-pay-off#The basic idea behind the asymmetric payoff strategy is simple. First, you structure your bet in the market such that if you lose the bet, your loss is very tiny, but if you win, your gain is very massive. Next, you bet that the market will crash within a specific period of time. If you lose that bet, place another bet for the next period of time. You do this repeatedly until the day of the Black Swan event when your profit overwhelmingly overshadows your accumulated small losses.
Obviously, the disadvantage of this strategy is that it requires fortitude to absorb small losses indefinitely while waiting for a highly rewarding final vindication in the end.
Buffet, wrong since 2014: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2014/03/26/warren-buffett-says-bitcoin-is-a-mirage-why-marc-andreessen-thinks-hes-wrong/#2c391e827f3c
