Not exactly suprised crypto is TANKING again today.

Know a couple of people who went to the Miami conference and aparantly it was an absolute shambles. Most of the presentations were abysmal and shock horror most people involved had as much depth as a puddle.

The main nightclubs who had agreed to take Eth before the event quickly retracted that agreement during the conference.

Shambles.

Anyone know anything/have any experience of using Immediate Edge?

I'm assuming the sales pitch I watched on it the other night is far too good to be true....

You haven't lost anything if it's still in your wallet.

i have a menagerie of shitcoins from 2017 and even last autumn that come from that thinking. :jester:

what is interesting in todays fall is that major alts are not keeping up with BTC, holding onto some of their recent gains. on the other hand, it seems to be without reason, no news or FUD to prompt reaction. which is much more worrying...

I'll await the terms like "I readjusted my position to manage my expose to losses".... PANIC!
Haha my favourite is further up the thread. Dollar averaging or some bollox. Which basically means you buy more as the price goes down or some such nonsense. You have to be completely mad to still be in the game at this point or too proud to realise the losses !!!

Don't get me wrong there was some incredibly easy money to be made earlier in the year. But sometimes you just have to cut your losses and wait for the next sustained push (if it ever comes)

I keep a spreadsheet that records all transactions as I accumulate.

I don't need the money for another 15 years. Only take profit if I've held it for over 12 months because the tax hit is far less at that point. (apart from the odd pump and dump).

Always reinvest that fiat when a suitable dip occurs.

Well, well ahead so not changing my strategy.

If you bought before the beginning of this year I would hope you are. It would take quite a lot of skill not to be.

But looking at the GPW chart on my Bloomberg screen its all looking a bit different now.

I wonder if the BTC crash is related at all with the Australian Police/FBI/EuroPol Messaging App Fraud collection and then related FBI actions today...or just totally separate actions?

Totally irrelevant imo. The price was on a knife edge around $34k and a daily close below was always going to be highly significant in the direction of the market. $23k and even back to $13k now possibilities if that $34k isn't recovered fast!

There are plenty of reasons, including changes in US monetary policy and concerted efforts by China to undermine the ‘currency.’ I first came across this thread quite recently and find it a little disturbing that so many people are only buying because it has been going up. There are no fundamentals in this market and a bunch of incredibly weak longs.

ETH and BTC both recovering toward the last 3 week mean. It seems crypto simply doesn't want to reveal it's hand at this point. It is a roll of the dice in a game of snakes and ladders.

interesting to note bitcoin low exact $31000.00 - suggests there must have been some massive BUY support at that price-current around 32700

I had a look at the Binance order book yesterday and there was a total of ~500 BTC at exactly $31,000, significantly the biggest buy order price.

Lots of on chain analysis shows some encouraging signs, although not all, and that's going against the current price trend/TA.
