There's your market in a nutshell and likely it is mostly just natural price action with FOMO & FUD mixed in. All you can do is stack Sats if you think this is as evolutionary and disruptive as the printing press. Stocks are also all over the place today. Clearly, BTC has yet to decouple from other markets. |

The current government trying to dissuade investment in crypto makes me want to invest more.

Some shitcoin that could totally tank and everyone abandoning the network could result in losing everything. I don't think Ethereum is going away, quite the opposite in fact. |

Bought some BTC and ETH on Saturday at the top. HODLed and bought some more on the ride down today. End result, still making money. Albeit, it's only enough for a McDs happy meal.

Even with the dip, that's still a yuuuuge number. |

So last week I forgot I put 15k down on a limit buy of 49 and change...it ended up hitting it and now I have a nice little payday.
On the other hand bitcoin sucks now because 15k down only gets you around 1900 profit if it goes up 5k |

She just asked me and it’s something I’ve never had happen. Her ETH is worth whatever the current price is. You mean negative as in less that what she paid? For it to go negative it would have to be less than zero. If it goes below what she bought in she just OUT of the money. If it goes above the price she bought in she's IN the money. Tell her to be patient, it will go back up. ETH is not going away. With BTC above 1T$ in market cap the actual price per unit is projected to be above 100K eventually because the USA just keeps printing money and there will only be a limited number of BTH mined. 30% of all US dollars in circulation in the entire history of the United States have been printed in the last 18 months. So BTC and ETH and pretty much all crypto currencies will go up. |

Big corrupt gov wants CENTRALIZED money and finance, to control it. Then they'll create a black market environment and the dollar will become even more worthless. When you hear the world leaders talk about digital currency its not crypto currency, its centralized virtual currency. Cypto currency and Decentralized Finance are here and not leaving. |

This statement stood out to me the most: "Bitcoin as Protection Against the Seizure of Assets: A bitcoin allocation approximating a 5% probability that a corrupt or misguided regime will confiscate assets – whether by fiat money inflation or outright seizure – during an individual’s lifetime would add $2.5 trillion to its network value." Many in GD might dismiss that or similar statements as too much tinfoil or such, but people really need to think about asset protection in the current political environment, even here in the US. Sounds crazy, but it's not just for Venezuelans. |
