That's what I'm doing.

Not buying gold. Not holding much cash.

And trying to put a couple hundred in BTC a week at least.

Get a quick profit and exit fast. You know about how much supply there is right?

Yeah, when the news released of several major institutions allocating their portfolio into it, that was pretty much the green light that BTC had strong support. Much different from what happened in 2017/18.

Unlimited I believe, right? Because it's just a joke.


I'm holding in case they actually do bump it up to 1 dollar like their goal was.

At the end of the day it cost me 230 for all those shares.

Unfamiliar with it. Limited supply but development ended and I'm wary of any crypto that hasn't or will not receive any future updates.

You got it. I’ve been holding Tel since January 2018 which was the ATH and I’ve been DCAing ever since.
It’s up 1000% ytd and it really is just getting started. Keep holding, trust me.

TESLA putting 1.5 billion in BTC. Major news, would expect some more big dominoes to follow, possibly even retail FOMOing.

At this point I'd expect all of them to at least invest 1% of their capital into bitcoin sooner than later

Going up again today like crazy. Any chance it his a $1 someday? :lol:

Should I double down on my investment now or do you think it'll have a drop again and buy the dip?

Allow me to be contrarian and guess we are in yet another mania bubble and it’s going to go down 75% soon and wreck a bunch of people. I got a nice new car with my gains through. Good luck to all

I'm forever long holding(20 years maybe) , waiting for it to become a legit thing thats 100% normalized like the stock market. By then all my long holds should be worth a lot more.

Wishful thinking though i guess. :lol:

What makes you think that?

It's possible. But I'm not so sure. Funds are starting to add GBTC. And if big corporations like Tesla start to rally behind it, it could keep going. I felt the last mania was driven mostly by retail traders/investors.

Not gonna lie, I'm still scared. I don't mess with alt coins other than DOT. So the other 90% is in Etherum and Bitcoin.

EDIT: I can definitely see people get burned by DOGE. They think it's as easy as buying low and selling high. I know people who have never traded starting to buy DOGE.

Why do I think that? I guess just look at the 12 year history of btc and look at the prior cycles and how much the corrections were after reaching new all time highs, and look at the anatomy of market cycles in general. Better yet just read this thread from the beginning and notice the similarity of the mood now compared to the mood for the pst couple years when smart money was accumulating and remember that one day they might cash out...

People are pumping memecoins like doge 1000%. Celebrities are tweeting about it. This post is glued to the top of the forum. Remember Katy Perry crypto claws?

It might run on up to 100k or so but I am very confident the -75% will eventually hit. Probably not now because I’m predicting it but when everyone is really really comfortable. But what do I know. :lol:

I still believe in many of the major projects and would buy the dip if it happened..

I was DCA with btc down to 3400 and got 96 ETH (3 nodes) in the double digit range, I prefer to buy when everybody is depressed lol

Everything would have to break right for it to ever hit $1. The scope of what they are doing would allow them to get there but you just never know. I think $.10 is a realistic target which is just insane to think about.
They just launched their first remittance corridor. They have many more lined up and could have hundreds of million of potential users this year.
DYOR and you can come to your own conclusion.
I told my best friend to buy for 3 years. In May he bought a million TEL for $250 (partially to shut me up). That is now worth over $4K. He’s been saying he would buy the dip at 1k/mil, then 1500/mil then 2k, 3k and evening now at 4K/mil. It just hasn’t dipped in this run. You just never know...
