Is anybody else targeting the bull run to end mid Fall? Im looking at September to start pulling a portion of my btc and eth poaitions but not all (in case it just moons).
Thoughts? |

I finally got my coinbase setup to buy a set amount every month. The small amount I bought in 2017 is up bigly.

Meh, I bought another $500 of ETH the other day as it was going down... but before it hit bottom.
Hopefully this is just a glitch and it'll at least stabilize for a while. I'm in for the long haul, tho. I'm not intending to make a quick buck on any rise. |

There has been a point in every prior Bitcoin bubble where the rate of growth became too high to sustain and it resulted in a blow off top that ended the cycle. 2013 and 2017 are VERY similar in that respect in terms of how much growth in how short of a time so if you need a good benchmark, look at the last two weeks of both of those cycles. My apologies for the MSPaint: Attached File To be clear, nothing we've seen to this point is similar to the final two weeks of the 2013 and 2017 cycles. Both of those cycles saw the price of BTC double in about 2 weeks before imploding. We haven't seen anything like that yet. I think the fastest move we've seen was going from $20k to $40k but that took about 4 weeks. |

View Quote You can add a few coins as long as there is an "app" and support to a Ledger if you want a hardware option. All major coins are supported. Not sure about all the other hardware wallets but assume they function similarly. There are software wallets available that permitted multiple coins but I never trusted them myself. If you're in shit coin territory, well, that's different. |

The only thing that could change that is the institutional investors are coming in hard now. Could cause two positive things- either a super cycle where you see a rise like never before ($500k/btc) and/or less of a blow off after the run up. Who knows? So either time it and sell at the high to double up at the lows or hodl and ride it out till the next high year in the cycle. I’m 45 so I’m on the 5 year plan but i may play with a portion to try to double up. I dont think $45k will be the new floor after this cycle. I think $220k is doable this year with a 50-60% drop off of that. All this is my own guess work using people who are smarter than me with more crypto experience. Good luck longs!

Those who know, are buying as much as they can. Those on the fence, are going to have to buy because they don't want to be the CFO that didn't buy BTC at $50,000 to $60,000 when their competitors did. 3 big Japanese banks have tested XRP as a replacement for SWIFT and the results were fantastic. I personally believe we are still at the pre-amazon stage of development for blockchain when you compared it to the 1990s and the internet development. $250,000 BTC by the end of the year is very possible. The amount of BTC being removed from exchanges tells a very interesting story. |

View Quote No, if you are holing then just store it safely or keep it on an exchange you trust. ETH is going to power a whole new industry of decentralized finance, insurance, and legal-related companies. The easiest way to think about it is to imagine all the major insurance companies moving from paper-based records and going to smart contracts on ETH blockchain. Imagine how much data and information will be moving back and forward, and that movement of information needs to be paid for (gas). If you are a major insurance company you need to own ETH to keep the 'gas' (cost of movement, action) costs down, and owning a lot of ETH and staking it will reduce those costs. Now imagine car loans, credit cards, energy management, logistics, shipping, medical supplies, licenses, art, sports memorabilia, music, all being managed on the ETH network. This is how big the ETH network (and its price) can potentially become. ETH has a lot of good competitors, but the first-mover advantage is massive as is the number of developers working on it. |

Coinbase will allow you to stake any amount of eth as they will group it with others.
I have half in cb and the other in blockfi. I think $30k might be a stretch for 2021 but someday soon after that. My range for 2021 is $10-20k. I hope you are right and I’m wrong though. |

View Quote Retail investors are selling (they think about finances short term), and the institutional investors are buying, buying, buying (they think and can manage finances long term). What's that telling you about where the price is headed? Not sure if true, but I have read Square's latest $170mln purchase was acquired at an average buy-in of $53k/BTC. Some time in the not so distant future, $53k/BTC might look like a great deal. |
