I been mining for awhile now. Make enough to keep my main gaming PC upgraded yearly and pay the electric bill. No lambos for me, but I did just sell at 18,500 and might go get a used Miata or something. Will probably just buy more BTC when it crashes down to 5k in a few weeks.
I find the fan noise from mining (got about 15 cards) helps with tinnitus and the free heat is nice in the winter. |

I think it'll climb in the end, but it's due for a big correction downward IMO. Frankly, everything is. Its shocking how overvalued some stuff is at the moment.

Its shocking how overvalued some stuff is at the moment. The trouble has always been "from where to where". Does it correct tomorrow from $18k down to $12k? Does it continue this rally to $30k and then correct down to $25k? I've been through enough Bitcoin bubbles to know that nobody really knows and either scenario is possible. I'm not calling this a bubble yet but during the last bubble, Bitcoin smashed through all time highs many times never to return. The 2013 ATH was about $1200 and when Bitcoin got back to that point in 2017 it smashed through it and never looked back. You never even got a chance to buy it again for even double that price. The only way to make sense of gambling on Bitcoin is to be willing to hold it for several years to the point that the short term swings don't make a difference. You'll drive yourself mad with "woulda, coulda, shoulda". Believe me, I started buying at $200 in 2013 and stopped at $400 thinking that it was due for a correction. In the end, it turned out that any price I could have paid that year would have been a good price. Even at $1000 which at that time felt like an impossibly high value. We are now getting the the point where almost every price you could have paid during the 2017 bubble would have been a good price. Also remember that both the 2013 and 2017 bubbles occurred over the course of an entire year. It wasn't just a straight line up in either case. There were many corrections along the way within those years and some of those corrections took weeks if not more than a month. Case in point:  Attached FileDid it really matter in the end if you had bought just prior to that correction? |

I can now service my loan by paying back the dai plus interest. The ETH has gone up in value since I took out the loan but I never sold it so no tax event. I pay back the dai and I can unlock my eth.

Now is not the time to buy bitcoin.
Never buy on the upswing unless you want to lose your ass. Now is the time to keep some for long term and sell some at various points along the upswing. Once sold set various buy points for the inevitable downturn. Oh and make sure to track your purchases so the IRS doesn’t love you tenderly. |

Oh and make sure to track your purchases so the IRS doesn’t love you tenderly. How can you possibly know that? Remember back in 2013 when Bitcoin was upswinging past $50 and never returned? Remeber back in 2017 when Bitcoin broke through its previous ATH of $1200 and never returned? Its certain that all runs like this eventually end with a stiff correction but nobody has a clue if both the peak and subsequent valley of this current run lies higher than the current price or straddles it. The best advice I can give anyone is that if you really want to be in this space, then don't sweat it either way. If another serious bubble happens, it won't matter whether you bought at $10k or $18k. If you aren't betting on another bubble, you shouldn't be screwing with this stuff in the first place. This kind of risk is insane to accept if your game plan isn't to hang in there in hopes for a 4th bitcoin bubble that once again shatters previous all time highs. |

Like he said there are no more BTC to be had once it's all mined. Deflationary asset. Having somewhere between 1 and 10 BTC is a smart move for any retirement portfolio. Not suggesting buying now, just saying if someone already has theirs they best hold on to it. The time to buy was right before the 2017 run-up or after the big crash in 2018-2019 while it was low. Right now it's hodl and let it ride. Who knows, in 5 or 10 years one BTC might be worth $250k or even $500k. Then his 3.5 BTC could be worth $1.75M... |

2017 had Bitcoin smash through all previous barriers and went on to it's ATH of $19k. After that it fell back eventually to $3k... Which is way higher than any of its previous highs before 2017.
I don't think that $19k is the ATH this time, because the one thing in common between 2017 and now is that both times Bitcoin had recently gone through a halvening. Each time that happens, Bitcoin goes on to reach new ATHs and basically "levels up" in average value with much higher highs and higher lows. |

My portfolio is up over $7k this past month alone.
Portfolio up 5x since March 12, 2020 when the market hit bottom. LTC was $25/ea. ETH was $100/ea that day. Currently LTC is $85/ea. while ETH is $535/ea. Loving it, but keeping an eye on it to sell at the peak. |

Edit: my first dabbing into Crypto was in Dec 2017 when I bought my first ETH at $575. Sold it days later (for $1300) just under it's peak of around $1400. While I have invested some out of pocket funds, I have rolled my profits over and over building up my portfolio over the last 3 years. Yes, I've hit and miss. My biggest miss was swapping out of Chainlink before it blew up this summer. Coverted from Chainlink to LTC when Chainlink was around $3.50. Chainlink hit about $20 at it's peak.. Opps! |

I'm not confident enough to try and trade short term swings. I'm holding until the next bubble at a minimum. The last two bubbles took nearly a year to play out so even if this is the start it could be until next Fall before it plays out fully. Talking out of my butt but I think the big signal is whether it breaks through the ATH or bounces off of it. If it bounces off it then it could be any number of months before it tests it again. If it breaks through, I think FOMO takes over and it officially marks the beginning of the next bubble. There was no turning back once the 2013 ATH was breached in 2017. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Default-Gateway: They have printed more dollars in the past 9 months than in the 100 yrs prior. Go figure why BTC is up. Institutional money is flooding in and there are only 3ish million BTC left to be mined. For reference, if you invested that $1200 check you got from Uncle Sam a couple months ago in BTC, it would be worth over $3200 now. Let that sink in. I've had a couple lousy performers but overall my bags are looking nice lately. I'm still trying to decide if I'll sell at some point during the rally and rebuy after the eventual crash or not. I'm historically bad at timing these things and screwing it up and still having to pay the taxes would probably eat most of the potential gains compared to just hodl. |
