The amount of time we are taking on these levels which are below 200 MA is what scares the shit out of me.
+1 to that. But to be fair it is a weekend. Which is why they dumped in the first place.

I mean some people are stupid enough to put the entirety of their retirement fund into crypto. Lesson #1 of investing is have a diverse portfolio. Don't be too hard on them for doing that. For many this is the only way they can ever hope to own a home, their labor is no longer enough. Thank you governments and CBs for putting people in this situation. You fucks. That. Moreover, some of us actually want money with freedom. (Besides, anyone who holds stocks hedged with anything tied to “safe” U.S. Treasuries is in for a surprise whenever the petrodollar system finally implodes. Next decade? Next year? Tomorrow? Nobody knows, but the house of cards has only been built ever-higher for almost a half-century. Whenever that hits, whether it hits you or your children, it will make that “diverse portfolio” look like diversifying your BTC to be balanced with some SHIB, some ICOs, some Bored Ape NFTs, etc.)

"We must prepare for the fact that it could take years. We must not let up in supporting Ukraine," the Nato chief said in an interview with German newspaper Bild. "Even if the costs are high, not only for military support, also because of rising energy and food prices."

I have a gut feeling this is going to stay low until 6th of July. Then the SEC approves the Grayscale ETF. Institutional investors will buy in at a discount and everything goes up like a rocket... Wish I could share that thought, but I suspect that there will be a lot of selling coming from that. Think about it the discount is currently 35% or something if it would become an etf the price woould immediately spike to parity then people would sell the shit out of it, as it would be a 35% increase straight away. I could easily be wrong but that's how I see it. If you see the discount decrease a few days prior chances are that is insiders buy for that outcome. I also hear though that there is no chance it will get up. I don't think this dump will help. You are not wrong, however... See the big picture here. The SEC approval paves the way for businesses to officially enter the Bitcoin realm. Many of the biggest companies want to invest in Bitcoin and that means billions of $$$ having access to Bitcoin. That's providing the biggest companies still want to invest after what has just happened and also if they are willing to invest during a recession. Once the liquidations cease and all the rotten flesh is cut out of the system the healing will start... Bitcoin is a better option than a savings account

Just happens that sometimes this insurance makes you a lot of money. Once the liquidations cease and all the rotten flesh is cut out of the system the healing will start... Bitcoin is a better option than a savings account Very true, and If people treated it as savings rather than a get rich quick scheme we wouldn't be in this mess.

It's always worth sacrificing others, never themselves though or their families. What a shit head, I swear people dying and losing everrything turns these evil pricks on.

+1 to that. But to be fair it is a weekend. Which is why they dumped in the first place. We were already in a channel more or less under 200 WMA, between about that and ~10% below. IMO, it had been doing that for long enough to be teetering on borderline breakage. I had been hoping for a scenario like August–September 2015—scraping along just below/just above for a month, then recovering. At this point, since we crashed even below the previous cycle top (even in nominal dollars, never mind real value!), I think that 200 WMA is quite dead. Not “Bitcoin is dead”: Excessive reliance on a technical indicator is dead. Gold had a two-decade extreme bear market. Anyone who bought gold at the wrong time had to wait an awful lot longer than four years to be not underwater. I also think that was a politically motivated economic attack, though I don’t want to get into off-topic discussion here that will derail into other matters. (I have mentioned this in some prior post, a few weeks ago... Something about gold-producing countries under international sanctions.) Only fools declared gold dead. Smart people bought gold as low as ~$260, not so very long ago. If we can escape from erroneous thinking about Bitcoin as “like a stock”, and really start treating it as digital gold, then there is ample precedent for shrugging off much worse crashes and bear markets than I now anticipate. As bad as this one is. Even if we are still nowhere near the bottom—maybe; maybe not; I am realistically pessimistic, but not prepared to make a call either way.
The amount of time we are taking on these levels which are below 200 WMA is what scares the shit out of me.

This whole thing could of easily been avoided but they wanted a war. They have their war now so they're happy, but not happy enough apparently, they want more people to suffer. People who just want to live their lives and get no benefit from the war what so ever. Anyway no one here likes needless war so I don't want to get diverted from the topic of BTC further.

Should have sold To balance that out, I have set new personal text. The space is too short to add appropriate qualifications, so it is not a promise or binding commitment; but it is essentially my attitude. NOT SELLING for fiat. Not to hold fiat.

When gold prices (in dollars) soared from 70s stagflation, then crashed, was it smart to sell the top? OK, how do you know what the top is?
In gold’s extreme, extended bear market, after it started crashing, was it smart to sell at $800? $700? $600? Selling for $600 and later re-buying for $300, you could have doubled your gold holding.
...$500? $300? $260? Whoops! Selling for ~$260 (IIRC*) would have been mindrusting gold.
Holding gold is always safe, if your biggest concern is not to be stuck with less gold than you have already accumulated.
Holding BTC is always safe, if your biggest concern is not to be stuck with less BTC than you have right now.
* Numbers here are tossed off the top of my head to make a point. If someone corrects any errors as Jay corrected my recollection of when Slaying the Bearwhale occurred, then... eh. Here, at least, it will not change my point.

Hahaha, I was waiting to see how long till someone would notice that. I'll change it back don't worry. Also price above 19.5 we need it back above 20k still. But it's a start.

Hahaha, I was waiting to see how long till someone would notice that. I'll change it back don't worry. Thanks. The last time we had a major wave of LTH dumping starting a bit over $19k, the bottom wound up being $3k with a smaller total supply (albeit twice the rate of issuance). Of course, that would be good for me. START DUMPING, ALL YOU LTH WHO STILL HAVE YOUR COINS! Please start dumping. I need my own Great Reset to 2018. Thanks. 2018 was a great year for me. I love bear markets. Also price above 19.5 we need it back above 20k still. But it's a start.
We’ll see. I doubt we are anywhere close to a recovery, due to the flock of black swans which threaten to continue arriving. But who knows. This is Bitcoin, which turns around and rockets up or down without warning.

This is Bitcoin, which turns around and rockets up or down without warning. Absolutely, I'm not calling a bottom here but we need to go above 20k to have any hope of even a temporary bounce. However, I do think it is possible that it does bottom, everyone, and I mean everyone believes that there are several large stupid companies out there that will 100% be liquidated very soon. While that does seem likely, these companies are opaque and we have no idea what is going on behind the scenes. They may not be as bad off as we think, or perhaps they are getting private bailouts in the background. It’s Bitcoin right, anything can happen. And if we don’t get the promised liquidations there is going to be a lot of unhappy shorts/sellers out there who will need to adjust their strategy.
