<div class="bbWrapper">Yes, one is it will ramp up somewhere between 45 and 50,000 where you would sell and then buy back down on the dip.<br /> The second one is it plays between 30 and 42,000 for a while where it then ramps up past 50,000 to continue the bull run.<br /> <blockquote data-attributes="member: 55234" data-quote="Antifragile" data-source="post: 944583" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/community/goto/post?id=944583" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-944583">Antifragile said:</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> for A, you sell.

What that means is there will be a retest eventually back down at that 50,000 level before it jumps up to test The 58,000 and all time high level. So you could then make your buy on the retest before new ATH.<br /> <br /> One strategy you can use is keep half and sell half. If it shoots past you have coins in play. If it crashes down to 20 you have money to buy.<br /> <br /> edit:,Can always hodl as well</div>

LOL<br /> <br /> Jan 2018 - &quot;I bought some in October around 300ish I think, but I just got some more at $1170 a few days ago. I&#039;m just holding, I don&#039;t plan on selling anything. It&#039;s either to the moon or I&#039;ll ride everything down to $0.&quot; <br /> <br /> I sold all of this somewhere in 2018 and it wasn&#039;t much to write home about.<br /> <br /> March 2020 - &quot;I have no idea what I&#039;m doing with crypto, but buying and holding bitcoin at $3k sounded good last year as does buying more at $5k sounds pretty good to me now. Do it for the long term guys, not to trade!&quot;<br /> <br /> I read this and was like WTF happened to these purchases? But then I read it again and I never said I bought any, I only said it sounded good at $5k. Damn it. LOL This is why I say I have no idea what I&#039;m doing. LOL<br /> <br /> When I say that I have no crypto, I don&#039;t have $0, but it&#039;s under $5k in my CB account. It&#039;s mainly leftovers from the 0.00xx that you have when you sell. I can&#039;t even remember the exchange I used to use. What were the top exchanges in 2018?<br /> <br /> But during the whole time from 2017 until now, I&#039;ve been just lurking on the sidelines gathering info and reading about it. However, when I buy a ETH or a BTC, it really amounts to dabbling. I mean I have a couple gold coins too, but that&#039;s not really investing. It&#039;s not enough to make any difference in my portfolio.<br /> <br /> I believe that investing is to make a concerted effort to allocate an asset into your portfolio strategy. And that&#039;s what I&#039;m doing now. I moved money into Coinbase and am waiting for buy opportunities so I can get some chunks at a time.<br /> <br /> On another note while searching for my lost exchange account, I came across this email from 2015. My friend was send his company and the acquiring company wanted to pay in bitcoin but we were like WTF, we want cash. Oh if he would have only accepted it!<br /> <br /> M C &lt;<a href="mailto:mxxxx@yahoo.com">mxxxx@yahoo.com</a>&gt;<br /> Thu, Oct 15, 2015, 10:04 AM<br /> to me<br /> <br /> Finally. I gave them wire instructions, they say it can take 3-5 business days. They were really pushing Bitcoin. Yikes!!!</div>

Exchanges have been coming and going like crazy, so holding on an exchange and forgetting about it can mean you lose it forever.</div>

Coinbase and many other exchanges crashed during the last steep drop. Was trying for over an hour to purchase between 30-34k and could never get an order to go through.</div>

The reason given typically is because of market cap. It doesn&#039;t make sense to me that some coins need a larger market cap than bitcoin to reach a price (which is significantly smaller than that ETH or Bitcoin are at). </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> Coin price * number of coins = market cap<br /> <br /> More coins -&gt; lower price for a given market cap, etc.<br /> <br /> Look at YFI, for instance. 1 YFI right now is $45k, but market cap is ~$1.6B compared to Bitcoin&#039;s ~$706B</div>
