4 Years ago people laughed at me bcz of THIS

[Marvell1]

I agreed, BTC raised very hard after COVID-19.

4 Years ago they called me crazy psycho.

That 3k+ per Bitcoin would have never happened if COVID never took place, it felt like it's the end of the world was coming to an end and people panicked.

If covid never happened we would have never seen that 3k+ for Bitcoin at the time, only handful of smart investors took advantage of the low price and pressed the buy button.

It did felt like the world was coming to an end, death news here and there, total lockdown everywhere, it was a very scary time, by the way, the actual value of Bitcoin then was over $3,000, I believe it was $3500 or $3700.

The Covid pandemic was something no one expected and at that time there were many more important things than bitcoin, so it was not unusual for people to dump bitcoin to get money to prepare for everything. I believe that at that time many people knew about the potential of bitcoin, but they were not mistaken in considering choosing their family's daily needs more important than holding bitcoin. I believe that many people did not easily make the choice to sell their bitcoins at that time. I really sympathize with the people who sold their bitcoins at that time. During that pandemic year, many families in my country didn't even have anything to eat, so what was the meaning of holding bitcoin or money at that time?

Bitcoin experienced a decline when Covid but that does not mean it came from a conspiracy created by the popes because it is baseless unless there is supporting evidence about it.

Although there are indeed some conspiracy fans who always say that Covid was indeed made for the benefit of several organizations or several officials who are for personal gain but as long as there is still no evidence then indeed we will consider this a disaster that occurred not in the intentional element of several parties.

Yes, of course it will be more valid. But I believe if Covid has an impact on financial capabilities and it also has an impact on investors who need cash. It has correlated fundamentals. So I think there is no need to think hard, because Bitcoin is currently able to provide covid proof can make Bitcoin weak but cannot make Bitcoin collapse. So I just thought about continuing to take advantage of the fundamental moments that often occur to increase my profits.

In the end, we do need to be vigilant but that does not mean we have to think badly, especially about the branching thoughts about some conspiracy that is happening in our environment or indeed what we are doing because it will burden your mind which is not even certain that it really happened because there is no evidence.
I agree with what you said instead of us being busy thinking that bitcoin is falling because the popes made the covid virus so that bitcoin fell, it is better for us to focus on what is happening to be used as an advantage for ourselves because in the end this is an important thing.

I am indeed one of the people who like to listen to conspiracies such as about ufo or indeed some things that do not make sense in my mind such as the Moai Giant statue and many more that I like but for the problem the OP said sorry I think indeed in this case it will be a funny thing and sorry I also laughed at it.

[kentrolla]

How does it correlate? I still think you are crazy or high on some hard substance for over 4 years now, let's be logical and anyone will laugh at what you have mentioned and moreover you have audacity of reposting and justifying it just makes me laugh even now. Let's come out of delusional world and be realistic.

The point is, we will never know for sure what would have happened with Bitcoin without COVID pandemic. Maybe you are right, or maybe a different event would have caused a similar price dip, creating another buying opportunity for those "smart investors."

But the OP's claim that Bitcoin whales started the pandemic on purpose is not only ridiculous but also extremely stupid, defying any logical explanation.

Of course, lizard people with their natural immunity to a pesky little bat virus, manipulating global economies for their own reptilian gain, is a much more believable theory.

[umbara ardian]

The emergence of COVID-19 undoubtedly impacted the financial world, including cryptocurrencies.  However, the suggestion of a meticulously planned pandemic to manipulate Bitcoin prices is a wild conspiracy theory, devoid of evidence.

The Bitcoin ETF rumor you mentioned highlights this perfectly.  The temporary price dip due to the false information showcases how quickly sentiment can shift in the volatile world of cryptocurrency. The relationship between pandemics, fear, and cryptocurrency is complex.  Global events can influence markets, but the idea of a grand orchestrated conspiracy is simply not credible.

The focus should be on understanding how real-world events impact financial markets, including both traditional and digital currencies.  By analyzing trends and remaining informed, investors can navigate the ever-changing economic landscape with a more grounded perspective.

He is crazy alright but the fact still remains that COVID actually affected everything including the price of Bitcoin but I don't know about the part where he is insisting that Bitcoin whales are actually the ones responsible for the outburst and for the main aim of making Bitcoin going down but I do agree that the spread of that virus even as a natural means because the world as you see it today is being controlled and influence by high power beyond even your comprehension.

But let's get something now, if Bitcoin whales brought COVID to make Bitcoin dumb or drop then, so what do you think they will bring or what disease or event will they pull off to actually reduce the price once more after the whole bull season is over @OP 😁😁

[Yatsan]

If people knew in March 2020 that the price of Bitcoin would reach $69,000 within a few months, would they have sold it?

Of course they won't. But I still don't agree that the occurence and spread of corona virus has something to do with Bitcoin simply because its market price declined that time, it won't be enough as an explanation. As far as I remember,the market price of cryptos on the early spread of virus was still high and it was almost a year after before the crash took place, feel free to check. People just tend to connect things from time to time.

The market price of Bitcoin was even lower than $10k years back then, did all people invest that time? Same idea with every market price dump. We all know that its market price will again increase after declines but it is a normal response to take profit or cut loss if necessary, depending on the market itself. It is has the same idea; buying at $25k market price and $40k market price, profit will still be earned. At any market price, people will hesitate to invest regrdless of knowing something's potential simply because they are not ready to embrace the risk and that's just fine than to push themselves and be anxious the whole time. Everyone is welcome to invest but for sure, not everyone could properly take risks from this industry.

[m2017]

"4 Years ago people laughed at me bcz of THIS" - did you want to repeat your “success” again?



I have never seen anything more absurd. I understand that those events took place approximately at the same time, but to try to connect them in this way is very strange.

Covid Crash is a famous event in history, On that day, the price of Bitcoin dropped more than 50% in less than a few hours and many people sold it and In fact, they gave their bitcoins to whales as a gift.

Surely, those selling then turned out to be in profit if bitcoin were purchased even earlier. Also, not only whales bought bitcoin, but also ordinary users too.

If people knew in March 2020 that the price of Bitcoin would reach $69,000 within a few months, would they have sold it?

Of course not. No one in their right mind would sell an asset, being sure that it will rise in price several times over. Except for those who are forced to sell due to the need to have money now.

The problem is that no one can know how much an asset will be worth either in an hour or in a year.

Funny thing is,  those who are laughing at me can't even see the price of Bitcoin in March 2020.
here is proof:

That picture doesn't prove anything of what you said. This is just a graph of the price drop, which was probably not caused by the whales who ordered Covid.

Focus more on what's important, double profits and make the most of every event that happens. Try when Covid or the crypto market crashes, buy gradually then we will enjoy the current profits on the new ATH. Don't be too affected by the fundamentals that make the market collapse, just take advantage of the situation and surely the market will return to its current Bullrun.

If he is high on something, and that is the reason why he has been posting such things for so long, I think we should let him enjoy the feeling. 

Anyway, coming back to the topic, OP was probably not okay back then and he probably isn't okay yet, because a sane person with their mind in the right place would never say things that he did back in the day and as you said, he is here to justify his words and make others feel bad for laughing at him.  I feel bad but I can't help it, I have to laugh as well. 

[Vladv26]

Over the course of the years people have invented dozens of conspiracies similar to yours related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Until proven otherwise, anything could be true but you can't just say random things and expect people to belive you without backing your words with something, with some kind of evidence or clear signs of correlation between those two events influencing each other. You are just throwing words around related to events you have very little information and experience about and this is why some newbies are misguided in the crypto world, reading all this crazy theories written by people on the internet.

[Kelvinid]

It is pretty simple, you win OP and make these people who laugh at you are wrong.
We can't please everyone to see Bitcoin as a valuable asset nor force them to invest and understand. As we can see, only a few people have the balls to take risk because they believe the futuristic value of Bitcoin is more than what the other people have seen. Don't get mad if they laugh at you but rather be silent and let your results give them a reason why investing in Bitcoin has no regret.

Just focus on your doing rather than focusing on other's life. They will soon see Bitcoin and gain interest just because they saw you improving.
Additionally, forget the COVID-19 conspiracy about Bitcoin.

In early days of Covid I wrote this: Everyone laughed at me  Btc was 3k$.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5233202.msg54038680#msg54038680
Now BTC is 73K and everyone understand Im right.
I also wrote other topics which is strange for many in the first day but later they will understand the truth.

here is proof:

Not sure if you are truly right but you are a good point there though this is very malicious because you are accusing people about things that killed millions  around the world.

Coronavirus Cases: 704,234,976 ; Deaths: 7,006,136 ; Recovered: 675,106,571.

How I hope that what you said is not true mate because that is more than genocide

[retreat]

Whatever the price of Bitcoin, there will be people who doubt it, even when the price of Bitcoin reaches $70k USD, people still say that it is a ponzi scheme or a scam, and at any time the price will drop and many people will lose. So such people will still exist, and you cannot convince them, even when they know the fact that Bitcoin adoption is increasing nowadays. So instead of thinking about them, it's better to just focus on your current investment and continue to increase your Bitcoin holding.

[arhipova]

You are corelating two completely unrelated things. The timings is same but covid and bitcoin price movement are not related. Whales did not spend money to spread covid so as to get bitcoins at cheap prices.

[Erumo]

In early days of Covid I wrote this: Everyone laughed at me  Btc was 3k$.

We still laugh at you

[Kelward]

I seriously doubt that Bitcoin and COVID-19 has anything in common and I definitely don't believe that whales are behind the dreaded covid that killed many people all around the world, because that'll make them murderers. They perhaps capitalized on the covid pandemic, when many people panicked and sold their Bitcoin, then they bought everything and became richer, so they took advantage of a bad situation to accumulate wealth for themselves. You need to show practical proof that the whales are behind the covid, or your theory is simply put in one word"crazy".

You cant please anyone and there is indeed those people who would really be that skeptical into something that they didnt heard before and with the lots of scams that we do have in the market then it would really be just that normal that they would really be having those kind of impressions that they might be dealing again with some sort of scam and this is why whenever on the time that you would really be making up some recommendation or advises then they would really be just simply be ignoring or rejecting you. On the time that they've seen something that makes money then this is the moment that they will really be
asking you again on how to deal or buy or whatever it would be.

This is a typical reaction and approach that people would be having. To those who have been able to believe into those earlier times are the ones who would really be cherishing out those profits
but well we do know that there are tons of opportunities on which this market could have and this is something that would really be just that normal to have those different
approach and decisions be made up.

[Y3shot]

I agreed, BTC rised very hard after Covid.

4 Years ago they called me crazy psycho.

Crypto whales created covid to make the price go down and buy back cheaper?
Yes, you're crazy.
Since we all know the virus came out of the lab in Wuhan, China, are you saying that the virologists who work there are bitcoin whales?
I don't know where this thread belongs, but it will end in the bin, or off-topic.

I know the corona virus affected the price of bitcointhat led many people to sell out at that time but I doubt coronavirus occured just because of bitcoin.  The existence of corona virus have nothing to do with bitcoin,  their might be something the caused the virus to occur but bitcoin was not the target, this deadly disease caused ao many effects on important things that is very valuable to human life. It also affected the economy in general.
