This China stuff mean anything?

They banned bitcoin for the 7th or 8th time, huge if true.

I couldnā€™t help myself and put in a buy order at 39k BTC and 3k ETH. Both got triggered, Iā€™m out of disposable fiat (for real this time, cross my heart), so now Iā€™m just going to enjoy the weather.

The problem with all this bad news is that it doesnā€™t matter if itā€™s actually bad news, it only matters if the average idiot thinks itā€™s bad news. Remember how many times you had to explain that online poker wasnā€™t actually illegal?

Iā€™m so torn what to do with the rest of my ONE for example. Selling for BTC now means taking a $ loss, but quite a BTC gain. Last week I decided I wanted to consolidate my alts into BTC, but now Iā€™m not sure.

So youā€™re saying itā€™s down in $ but up in BTC since you bought? When exactly did you buy it?

Youā€™d sell it for BTC now if you think it will perform worse than BTC vs fiat, and if BTC will perform better vs fiat.

I sold what little crypto I had (~$2000) and dumped it into penny weed stocks.

I got some early March, and Iā€™m still way up on that, but then added on in early April

Iā€™m hoping it goes down not because I want people on here to lose money, but because I want to be able consider investing a good amount of money only to be like no way this shit is going up again and regret it in 4 years when it does another 10x

So Iā€™ve been messing around with defi, taking advantages of early bird bonuses on the Balanced network by taking out a loan of bnUSD using ICX as collateral, and then providing liquidity in the bnUSD/ICX pool. Long story short: ICX plummets ā†’ value of collateral plummets ā†’ risk of liquidation of my ICX stack. Fun games! Iā€™m not worried yet, but can we just start going back up now?

Lol I just bought the biggest what-I-thought-was-a-dip ever jfc.

36k may have been the capitulation wick. Parabolic drop lol. but it wasnā€™t quite big enough

Thereā€™s never really a capitulation. There are billions of people ready to buy high and sell low.

Well, on the bright side thereā€™s not gonna be a next time for a few reasons. One being a whole lot more people are gonna lose a whole lot more money this time around. I was thinking it was a shame the market hadnā€™t ā€œmaturedā€ and was somehow even more immature now, but then I realized thatā€™s all directly correlated.

Ok so I think I solved the problem of worrying about BTC going down. You just use all your BTC to buy altcoin dips.

Huh? I meant the big cycles. As far as right now, I donā€™t recommend ever selling a dip. Itā€™s the same as chasing a pump:
