No.
probably another leg down incoming
thought we'd have a relief rally this or next week
A leg down to where?
We already had a leg down to $59,930 on February 5 (a mere 19 days ago).
Why is there any need for another leg down?
You conclude that there is just too much negative sentiment out there and a certain amount of ongoing downity momentum (that might even be being engineered by a certain quantity of paper coins).
What are you doing about it?
You have ONLY been registered on the forum for slightly more than 3 months, since November 2025.
Have you been buying any bitcoin, yet? Or just thinking about it?
does "individuals" here also include individuals who buy the ETF ?
You know the answer.
If you are not holding the keys, they how could you claim to have any control over the coins and how they are used or abused.
There are likely some circumstances in which some level of coin ownership through ETFs would be justified.. yet it seems that bitcoin is going to increasingly lose power if a decent amount of coins are not held privately.
There are a decent number of folks who believe that they own actual coins when they are custodied on exchanges - and I am not even completely against that - even though it would be nice if guys were to give some priority to at least half of their coins being held off exchanges.. my current ratio right now is around 5% of my coins held on exchanges, even though historically I had much higher percentages, so I can appreciate that it could take a bit of time for some folks to transition into some level of self-custody.

I think the answer to this question depends on whether you sold the four year cycle high or not…
Some people in this thread made generational wealth and some people watched half their savings disappear. The weird thing is the hate being directed towards the people who were right by the people who were wrong.
The funny thing (maybe ironic?) is that some guys are fucking around trading (gambling and taking chances) to sell most if not all of their weedlie widdo bitcoin stash that is 1/10th the size as it could have had been if they had not gotten into the habit of fucking around trading.. .. so maybe (perhaps?) they get lucky this time, so then their stash will ONLY be 1/5th of what it would have had been, in the event that they would be able to average their buy back at around 50% of their sell price, which is also a pretty BIG IF.

Og I hate you so.

Only for a few more months and then I’m back on team up only for the following 2.5 years.
I’m torn because I want to invest in SpaceX and that IPO will happen right before Bitcoin bottoms for this cycle. Real estate will probably follow shortly after and I wouldn’t mind a better view either. So many great buying opportunities coming, but only so much dry powder. Patience will be key. No reason to rush to buy here. Especially with the current situation in the Middle East.
Yes.. and that is part of the overall picture in regards to why you currently have in the ballpark of 1/10 or even lower than the coins that you could have had - because traders also tend to devolve into distractions in regards to which next shiny thing they would like to dilute their time, energy and value into.
The picture is quite less rosey than you tend to ongoingly make it out to be.
