I know history doesn't repeat itself but rhymes and such, blah blah... Here is my quick rough picture showing where I think we are if we are repeating the previous cycle. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F014ZID7.png&t=665&c=sTE7ZXof4ZkY9A) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FZOKdsDV.png&t=665&c=6CWuKdGoXUEUkw)

The thing with certifications is that they give you a false sense of accomplishment and closure, even though most of them are trash and only require a bare minimum understanding and aptitude. Otherwise the broad masses would start complaining that it's too hard for them to get anywhere in life whilst not putting in the required effort. Not necessarily a government problem in that regard, although I'm not going to even try to speak positively about it (gov). My best friend went through the whole thing to become a financial adviser. He convinced me that whole life insurance was a good investment. It wasn't until I was trying to defend it in an online forum using math that I realized how horrible it was. My life is uninsured, martyred even shame how life turns out physical life insurance Unlimited fear, unlimited potential And up goes bitcorn

still bearish
May I genuinely ask why? I can't think of much to be bearish about, especially not justifying a 30% downswing in two weeks time long after the December ATH. Don't let the reason be 'because the price goes down', since that is a poor and manipulable indicator of Bitcoin's state. Think for yourself.

I wouldn't hate on Roger too much, he helped make bitcoin what it is today and was one of the first merchants to accept bitcoin as payment.
I'm heavily behind bitcoin but on the dark web now most sellers are only taking Monero and not BTC.
Two nonsense points. First there is plenty of reasons to hate on Roger, and second, who gives a ratt's ass about Monero. this is a bitcoin thread.

Monero has its own problems. The transaction fees hurt and supply is not fixed.

It's always good to keep a diversified portfolio, and thankfully I can afford to lose what I've put in if it dies completely (which is not likely to happen imo).
That's bullshit. There is no need to diversify into shit coins. Of course, there may be other reasons to diversify, but why buy pump and dump paper tigers?

Bitcoin is getting weaker and weaker as the time goes but in the recent month I think we will see a rapid rise of btc. And eventually it will benefit both new and current investors but those who cash out will be in loss

Hodling sw and ln by falling dominance from 99% to below 40 and from absolute value near 20k to below 6k speaks all for your 'bright mind'. Have more fun.

Tee hee hee The post below explains that Bitmain is valuing its 1.02 million Bcash lol coins at their acquisitik cost and not at their market value. That’s because Bitmain paid over twice what those Bcash lol coins are now worth. Suckers. No wonder they want to IPO - they are desperate to dump their Bcash lol bags. The Bitmain IPO is just an attempt to do a massive Over The Counter sale of 1 million Bcash lol coins. I wonder if any Chinese are dumb enough to fall for it. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.ibb.co%2Fk6AO1U%2F1_E58527_D_C66_B_4_FEB_A055_7_CD69_B2_B36_B2.jpg&t=665&c=OOtS44P9AE1maw)

PSA: exchanges will start to wobble at under 6k. 1 or 2 self-hacks must be expected at times like that. Get your money off the exchanges as soon as you have done your business. Do not 'invest' more than you can afford to lose. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fa8gMZ4O.jpg&t=665&c=ddWeMCfUcsd10Q)

Monero has its own problems. The transaction fees hurt and supply is not fixed.
The Monero and Bitcoin transaction fees are very close to each other. There is not practical difference, exept during the high volume times Bitcoin has had actually higher fees. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-transactionfees.htmlhttps://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactionfees.htmlAlso, the Transaction fees of Monero will be decresed even more by 80-90% by the bulletproofs. https://ethereumworldnews.com/monero-bulletproof-protocol/https://getmonero.org/2017/12/07/Monero-Compatible-Bulletproofs.htmlIn addition The Tari Project which is a second layer protocol for Monero, will cut the transaction fees to fractions by Lightning Networks. It will also bring Atomic Swaps, Internal assets and much more for Monero. https://www.tari.com/The "not fixed" supply is not a problem at all. There is a fixed tail emission for Miners to have an incentive to mine. And because the tail emission is fixed, the emission in relation to existing supply will be decreasing. Also, the tail emission will be very low. 0,6XMR per 2 minutes block. That is only 432XMR per a day. https://getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/tail-emission.htmlAlso, the Tari Protocol will be merge Mined with Monero.

This is what worries me (apart of lack of humor or differences in humor perception): redditers are still bullish, very bullish.. too bullish. And not only redditers, but here in BCT too - no despair traces are visible en masse. No despair - no trend reversal, and I wonder how long this market can drop until people finally panic. I understand it is hard to shake out old Bitcoiners, but the new entrants should have already started to capitulate. But nope - even those who think Bitcoin will drop further, are setting 3K target, and expect moon then (in ~2 years). This particularly should mean the 3K bottom is to never happen - as too much people expect it. Bitcoin should either bounce noticeably higher or noticeably lower. Given the absence of despair now, I start to think it could go lower... which is highly undesirable scenario as I see it, as it will punch through weekly MA200 then, and also its will be disaster for miners and many crypto businesses. But I am not really social media aware guy, and I may easily miss something. So... a question: did anyone see traces of mass panic in social media, enough to call it a mass sentiment..? P.S. Please don't call me FUDder. Yes, I am not a bull now, and I miss TERA2 here, but I am just expressing my own concern, and will be genuinely interested in what people here think of this.

There's doesn't need to be "mass panic". That's not a necessary requirement to determine whether the bottom has happened.

Mass panic selloff - despair - indifference - the time of low interest by general public, and active work by the core supporters -- then natural growth from inside, caused by the persistent work of real value creators, such as developers, adopters and promoters. I believe before BTC can grow again, there should be new achievements to show, and more healthy community caring about fundamentals, not just price. This is how I see normal way of resolving the consequences of the latest bubble. I wonder how do you see the possible path? Do you really think BTC is ready for another rally in this situation now? Or you think it can go sideways long enough so new development matures and adoption kicks in?
