From this levels, only sell btc

You giving advices, newbie?

If you think about it, BTC already had a bit more than a 50% price correction, and currently bouncing around the 35% to 45% territory. 

Seems like a good range to buy, rather than sell, but depends how many BTC you already have. 

I don't have any yet, but I will buy at a price 6700$. Good luck

If you speak the truth, then it seems that you do not have too much positive view about bitcoin, so even if you do end up being able to buy BTC at $6700, it does not seem too likely that you will hold your BTC for very long.  You do not seem to have much confidence in bitcoin, so good luck to yourself with those kinds of BTC bear views, unless you develop a come to Jesus moment.   

I will continue with my buying on the way down system, and if BTC prices go down to $6,700 I will end up buying around $7k, and if they go to $6k, then I will buy there.  My orders are already set down to $3k, yet I do not believe my orders at $8k or lower are likely to fill - even though previously, I had asserted that if we break below $10k (a couple weeks ago), then $8k becomes reasonable, and I suppose if we end up breaking below $8k, then $5k to $6k would become reasonable at that point.

Currently, I see nothing wrong with preparing for BTC prices down to $5k or even below that, but it does seem unreasonable to prepare only in that one direction and even not to hold any BTC, currently.

mempool is clearing, lightning is active on mainnet and segwit adaption is increasing. this should be big and good news enough.

apparently not

Apparently not what? That the mempool isn't clearing? That lightning isn't active?

I'm assuming you're over 13 if you're using the internet alone; use your big words and sentences, or ask the adult with you for help. It's not that hard.

I think that in this context the BIG words of, "apparently not" only signify that BTC price had been continuing to have downwards price pressures in spite of news that should be unambiguously positive, in terms of BTC fundamentals.

10k are still not broken 

Just hold, the storm will pass, we are burning k's of dollar like tenths some months ago, this is good

[jojo69]

I think it is about time to pivot my strategy and stop trading USD pairs.

That way I am all in cripto when the rocket lights.

dont jinx it
lol

but in all seriousness, i don't think 10k will hold.

Had to scroll through 2 or 3 pages of pathetic crybabies whining about "dumps", "panic sells", "BTC @6K" and other nonsense.

Thanks JJG for your thorough answer on selling on the rise and buying on the decreases!

I am also in an accumulation phase right now. The bottom line for me is that I'm long-term for this market, and my goal is just to accumulate as much coin as possible, despite price movements (though it can seem quite fruitless when your portfolio value drops in the short term, despite your accumulation).

[Enjel]

As for 10k, I don't think that's important, and I don't really fear for the short-term of this market.

Has Bitcoin Wanga ever made a public, decisive claim (in this case, very lowest at 8k, then going up a lot) and been wrong?

He called the 9k bottom very accurately, when a ton of other people were saying 10k as the critical level. He's even advising everyone to buy anything under 10k.

Sounds pretty confident to me.. and since I can't read this market, and hold a few BTCs that I don't intend to liquidate at a loss compared to ATH, that's good enough for me.

Bullshit, that was written on January 3, and it just discusses the fact criminals are starting to use monero and zcash instead of bitcoin.

Exactly, correct me if I'm wrong Masterluc's aka Bitcoin Wanga's last prediction was dump then ~9k sideways for a couple of weeks then moon (45k-110k) before 2019.

[Bitcoinaire]

That's gonna leave a mark!

This is a nice consolidation period, which is very healthy for a continued bull market......hopefully.

Breaking 24777$ prediction game      FINAL LIST

WHY SO MANY OFF YOU THINKING PRICE WILL BE ONDER 8K END THIS MONTHY??  WHILE SO MANY OFF YOU GUESS ALL THE CLOSEST POSSIBLE  DATES WHEN THIS LIST CAME OUT

Looks like your caps lock is stuck, MICGOOSSEN.          

Of course, factors change over one month or two months time, and therefore, what is reasonable and/or probable changes, too.  There is no absolute inevitable price direction or predetermined outcome in regards to the future, and that is one of the reason that any kind of precise prediction game is going to end up being largely luck, and maybe only a sliver of skill or even the fantastical concept of prescience.

[JayJuanGee]

at least the bitcoin market dominance is increasing right now.

At least there's that.

Oh. 34.9%? Is that good?

it was at 33% a few days ago and incredible 34.8% yesterday

Surely, market cap and BTC dominance is one indicator amongst many indicators, and surely such market cap indicator can be and has been manipulated and disproportionately emphasized to cause misleading conclusions and to draw folks into following schemes and to be distracted into bad decisions, such as giving up their bitcoins in favor of other pump and dump projects that may end up collapsing on them. 

Market cap is not irrelevant - but surely needs to be weighed in a more meaningful context in order to attempt to determine capital shifts in the crypto space and even better attempts at understanding some of the symbiotic relationships in the crypto space, too..

I like your prediction 45k to 110k

That's what I assumed as well. My point was that they should say that and stop making people assume. At the time the price was changing +-$100; negligible compared to what we've been dealing with the last few days and weeks. Even now, the price is still within ~$100 of this morning; apparently the news/non-news is not having all that great an effect on price as they implied.

It's just annoying seeing "click-bait-esque" posts on here that the user adds nothing to the conversations. I'd much rather read through longer posts (like yours or even, dare I say it, r0ach's haha), at least I can try and glean something from them.

If I wanted useless posts, I'd go to r/btc. Oh well, my ignore list grows (like it matters, I'm a nobody here :p).

_{Edit: The next 24 hours are critical}

[JayJuanGee]

are you ready to go under 8000€ / BTC ?

8k is old news. Now its 4-5k.

We are in a bear market, and since its based on panic, a bear market is irrational.

Corrections are for rational markets. This recent fallback to 10k is no more a correction.

You are fucking crazy.

A bear market cannot be assessed merely based on a BTC price correction that is slightly more than one month old, and also in the context of recent BTC history of BTC prices rising 78x in the past two years, and 7.5x between August and December.

So, get the fuck out of here with your way too premature bear market assessment. 

On the other hand, if BTC prices were to go below and to be sustained below $5k in the coming 2- 3 months or even a bit further down the road, then I may start to consider that a bear market assessment is becoming more reasonable at that time - but even then... each of us needs to consider the broader context for our bear/bull market proclamations in terms of both time and market movements, and you likely need to snap out of throwing around such market assessment terms so loosely because even if we might have a deep correction or a even a kind of "bear trend" and/or short term dominance of the bears,  bull markets do not convert into bear markets (or vice versa) in a mere matter of weeks or a month or two.

You may also know that Dave and I submitted code and work to the DHS. This included the Truecrypt flaws and also methods on tracking via Tor... So, yes, I have some idea of determining application details... Read some of the papers.. you may learn something.

-if the capLock wasn’t on you would’t see the writing under the list ....
- and offcourse its a dumb luck game.., everybody with a little bit of good mind knows we have to buy BTC for the long term hodl and not to see the price every day and set 1000 of sell orders and buy orders and.... Just buy and When possible to afford more Just to buy and hodl as well.., maybe every week month same date Just buy no matter what the price is @ that time.... and after good learning Reading maybe buy 10 of the 100 % in other currency’s
- ONLY i have the same Sickness of checking the price constantly knowing that i’m Not Going to sell but Thats Just my problem ;-)  ( while i tel all my friends buy don’t look Just buy When possible)
