I am NOT sure if you should be proud of NOT buying.

Well I am..
I am definitely proud of what crypto I have been able to accumulate based on nothing but my own skill and determination to stack Satoshis, made completely on my own merit, having absolutely nothing to do with any advantage of how much I could "afford to buy".. I made it myself having nothing to do with $ or investments funded by any efforts outside of crypto.. Made all my crypto from crypto..

It's not like I got lucky on a few trades and made a killing.. It took me a LOT of time and hard effort to make the around 10,000 manual trades I have over years and gained the skill to have more of them profitable than not..

You don't think that's something to be proud of?
You can be proud of something you bought, while I can't be proud of something that I have MADE.. ??
I think not..
Would you be more proud of a house you bought with a nice lawn and all, or the house you built yourself on property you cleared yourself and made that nice lawn with your own hands?

So if you start with 1 BTC, then you should have 140BTC... great.  Hard to beat that.

It doesn't work like that that easily..
It is sooo much easier to double 0.01 BTC than it is to double 1 BTC.. Do you understand this?

You can flip a good spread all day long on a smaller market with 0.01 BTC but you cannot do the same with 1 BTC..
The more value you want to trade the more liquidity the market needs to have which will come with more skilled trading competition, smaller spreads, and less volatility..
Playing back and forth between walls/spreads is one of my main targets to trade but you can't do the same thing with larger amounts, because then you become the walls..
Trading based off large orders coming into the books pushing the price works great, untill your orders are the large orders that push the price, then it doesn't work anymore..

you are coming off as hostile to dollar cost averaging

I don't have any problem with the dollar cost averaging strategy.. I would recommend it also.. To those who aren't willing to put in any actual effort, or even alongside other efforts.. But I wouldn't shit all over other efforts/methods..
If I am hostile about anything it would be this...

Trading is also NOT a way to accumulate BTC or wealth.
trading should not be a means to accumulate BTC
Trading is also NOT a way to accumulate BTC or wealth.
trading should not be a means to accumulate BTC
you should not be planning on building your BTC wealth based on trading

Because that almost feels like an attack on me..
I have invested massive amounts of time and effort into doing exactly that, and I found a way to make it work, and yes I'm damn proud of what I have been able to accomplish, and you say that it's "Not a way" and something that "Should not be done"..
You are wrong..

Instead of putting in hundreds of hours playing stupid videogames like most NPC normies, I put basically that same effort into playing on exchanges..
Very wise choice IMO VS completely wasting all that time getting points in some stupid game, I accumulated satoshis instead..

If anything YOU are hostile at me for not just buying bitcoin and making my way via alternative means that do not fit your narrative..
Your way is not the only way.. Sorry..

You have to accept the fact that it CAN be done, unless you want to call me a liar..

dumb-ass fuck

I got the idea for this graph in Investing 1$ every day in bitcoin over the last five years, but the graph I created doesn't only include the last 5 years until today. It includes every consecutive period of 5 years in which Bitcoin had a dollar value, until yesterday.

I don't know if anyone ever made a graph like this before, but I think it adds a nice perspective.

Results:

Data source: https://coinmetrics.io/newdata/btc.csv
Note: I had to use a logarithmic scale to make the graph readable.

Details:
The first 5 year period starts on July 18, 2010, when Bitcoin is valued at $0.08584. On this day, $1 buys 11.64958062BTC.
After spending $1 on Bitcoin every day for 5 years (I used 1826 days), it's July 17 2015.
July 17, 2015 is the very first data point in the graph: the most left red and blue dots.
The last data point (the most right red and blue dots) represent the investment period that ended on February 9, 2020, and started 5 years before that date.

The obvious
Early adopters had the best bet. Nothing new here!
Investing a total of $1826 in Bitcoin, for 5 years, with a dollar per day, would have gotten you $10,000 or more at the end of your 5 years, no matter when you started!
The amount of Bitcoin you can buy using "dollar cost averaging" for 5 years in a row has continuously been declining. No exceptions!
The dollar equivalent seems to have touched a bottom at $10,000.

Investment advice
I don't do that! This graph is based on historic data, if I'd know the future, I'd be rich!

Excellent! Just excellent! That's some fine data analysis you've done there LoyceV, clearly visualizing what most of us hardcore Bitcoin HoDLers knew all along. You've put it up there, all nicely drawn and crystal-clear, for us to rub to all naysayers' faces. Puts things in perspective when it comes to investing in Bitcoin and how risky (or not) it really is.

I challenge anyone reading this, to give me a different (non-BTC) investment plan which would give a minimum of almost 450% gain by investing $1 daily for 5 years, regardless of when you started. Not 10%, not 50%, but 450%!

But the big prize goes, not to investors, but to HoDLers! Imagine how wealthy one would be if he/she had invested $1 daily in Bitcoin from 2010 to 2015, and then HeDL his/her stash until today! Assuming the maximum (far-left) point in the blue graph is around 2000 BTC, that lucky smart individual would now have around $20,000,000 ($20M)! * That's a whopping 1,095,190% gain, from a meager $1826! *

* To all HoDLers: in case you haven't realised, this ( ^^^ ) is YOU and ME in a few years' time!

How is 676BC - 2025AD an "ascending age" when the entire rise and fall of Rome happened in that period and then a dark ages.  That sure doesn't sound like a single, homogeneous age to me.  The only way you can form anything coherent out of that is if you claim Roman bureaucrats founded the Catholic church to try and subvert and rule over populations and that dynasty is somehow still continuing to this day.  But that's obviously not the case when parasitic, evil cult of Judaism members and their central banks have usurped most power structures years ago.

Hitler should read carefully through the whole text: the Kali Yuga (Iron Age) as a whole (descending + ascending) is/was a very dark age until AD 2025. in 2025 after Trump the future will seems very bright for the whole mankind but shortly after the one true GOD will fulfill HIS prophecies.

Everyone is shouting: halving, halving. And in the comments under my ideas rave about them. So, a fresh look. I have the audacity to say that halving, as a scalar event, does not affect the price chart at all. Two previous halving I experienced and observed. Generally zero to ground. Halving points fall into completely random places of different trends. And they do not cause anything, not even the slightest reaction of the market, despite the general excitement and fundamental nature of the event.

You know, this is probably a phenomenon even. But there is an explanation. Halving is the nature of Bitcoin, a metaphysical phenomenon that creates its essence and the manifestation of which cannot be found on the surface. Halving is manifested in the fact that bitcoin is growing for a long time. And in the spring you will not see anything special.


P.S.: Never seen him write so much. Weird. I am not going to opine on it. Bleh.

The recent events of the epidemic that has killed so many people in China, has caused many to put Bitcoin as a refuge from value.

“Technically the structure’s bias is bullish as long as price doesn’t lose $9,150,” said Teddy Cleps, a market analyst at Crypto Freak Network. “Price has a decent margin to retrace and mark another higher high, and thus continue its growth.”

Source:https://www.newsbtc.com/2020/02/10/bitcoin-dips-on-profit-taking-but-fundamentals-show-its-parabolic-rally-is-not-finished/

Behold, according to some analysts, Bitcoin and Gold continue to rise despite the outlook in the world, some speak of correlation even.

It is well known that the correlation is low between the two .. only that it can be taken as an important fundamental that can be exploited in the market.

Correlating investing in safe haven assets during times of uncertainty is normal and it's an especially important place to watch with Bitcoin. The reality is that most of the world simply does not care about Bitcoin or much at all for that matter, all they want is to continue to live the 'normal' life they've been afforded for the past 7 decades or so.  It's my belief that harsh events must challenge the masses 'normal' way of living and force change. Bitcoin adoption as a safe haven asset will continue during global crisis but I'm afraid the absence of such events will allow the herd to slip back into an apathetic slumber.
It appears that greed has mostly powered the Bitcoin market thus far and as much as I'd like to think that it would be convenience that ushers it forward from here, fear is the more likely motivator.  Most great changes have been born of great tragedies. If Bitcoin is to be as revolutionary as we speak of, I don't see why it would be any different this time.

GOOD morning guys.

This is fine. In fact it is more than fine... this is being one of the most beautiful and smooth "pumpenings" ever. Wouldn't even mind if it were to retest $9K or even high $8K to scare the shit out of any remaining weak hands before going on.

So far, so good.

Exactamente!!!!!

We should not be complaining about nearly a 6 week pump from $7,175 to $10,200 (about 42%) or even going from about 8 weeks at the December 17 bottom of $6,424 (which would be nearly 59%).

Sure, there was a blip of a correction in the $8,xxxs, but overall, we have not really had any meaningful correction, so how can that NOT be good?

I am not saying that we have to have a correction in order to resume UPPITY, but having some kind of correction or flat period is NOT exactly out of expectations or even bearish... even though did I not hear some sorcerer wannabes proclaiming that we were never going to see 4 digits again?  Yeah right....

I would like to get out of 4 digits too, and to forever stay out of 4 digits, but also seems to be a lot of froth coming with us from the alt coin (aka shitcoin) scene.. so I am not sure if that altcoin pumpening is healthy... but either way, bitcoin probably does not give too many shits, even though there could be both dragging effects but also slingshot effects too, so some of these dynamics with the shitcoins can cut either way in terms of their short term effects on BTC prices.

I looked closely and realised they're using the Formant analogue synth, from Elektor magazine! I wanted to build this when I was in my early teens! I still have (some of) the original Elektor magazines.

Wow! Just WOW!

[JayJuanGee]

Pretty much what we’ve discussed here ourselves, including the numbers there.

What do you think buddy, what’s your estimated top of this coming bull run?

I feel a little bit more bullish than that.
In mic's contest I voted for 25,000 by halving. This means ATH before halving, this is going to be a little bit stretchted seeing where are we stand right now.
However, we know how it happens: slowly at start, then all of a sudden.

This can be achieved if there's a daily gain of 1.1% on the BTC/USD price.

Not impossible, but if it happens, it will probably be as you say, slow --> sudden. Regardless, I think 2020 will be a good year for Bitcoin, with 2021 breaking 6 figures. The main thing is not to reach it, but to sustain it.

I'd say, keep HoDLing throughout '20-'21 at least.

This is fine.

Don't mean to be a party poop..... well maybe I do?

What if the BTC price shoots up to $85k-ish by the end of 2020... but then corrects back down to $25k for the duration of 2021 and maybe into 2022... then what are the HODLer "waiting to sell some BTC" peeps gonna do when king daddy does not perform up to expectations?  

Maybe they start to feel that they did not sell enough BTC on the way up to $85k-ish? or they did not sell any?
 and then they feel that they missed the opportunity, again?  

Maybe even having to wait a few more years for the next price splurger into 2023-25--?   who knows... patterns can be broken, no?  Perhaps?  Perhaps?

The only relevant information about halvings are that Chinese scammers who have a centralized monopoly on mining and selling mining machines have an incentive to attempt to rig the price upwards to continue the profitability of their monopoly scam rather than turning the miners off.  Then others like the Winklevoss who have attained a monopoly on supply have an incentive to try and help them do so.  So it's a crowd sourced pump and dump scam.  But these actors still have to gauge if there's any actual buyers (fools) for their pump and dump or it just implodes when they try to rig it and they lose a bunch of money.
