$293.00 and counting....I am rooting for under 21K really bad. Mr. Saylor helped talk a lot of people into crypto when it was at it's peak and I'd like to see him get whacked upside his head

Looks like he is attempting to cover every base for the foreseeable future so he can say "I called it" months later.
How would you boil that down in a few sentences?
Somewhat. He's taking a 10,000 ft view versus honing in on actual winners and losers. He wants us to begin to think differently in comparison to older models of thought.
But he's right that the technology will continue to accelerate, whether it be crypto, advances in biosciences, AI, robotics, energy or automation. None of that stuff is going to fizzle out and disappear. But which companies will win? And which legacy companies will disappear? In most segments, there are typically two major players and a bunch of wannabes.
Network Effects.
It's the reason Twitter or Facebook, or Inside Nebraska is valuable.
He cite's Metcalfes's law, which says the value of a network is proportional to the square of its number of users
This is also a way to look at how value is derived in the crypto market.
Many of the cryptos out there are indeed garbage, but those that end up surviving and providing utility, are going to become immensely valuable.

Don't ask the same guys who told you it was going to 6 figures....hahahaha. Saylor has to be shitting his pants right now. I think there is a lot more room to fall personally.
Why are so many BTC firms going BK? Celsius is the latest in a very very long line....why is this happening? Anyone? Bueller?
- Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy's founder, will give up the role of CEO on Monday.
- The software firm posted an impairment charge of $917 million related to its investment in bitcoin.
HAHAHAHAHA
I bought ETHE (Etherium on TD Ameritrade) @ 8.12 per share on June 13th. Long term trendline is holding and I will be holding this for probably a long time. I know BTC was hitting about the same trendline also and should’ve probably got an equal chunk of that.
this kind of thing just amazes me..
What you did, was buy a derivative of Eth, one that is controlled 100% by Ameritrade directly.
You don't own any keys to any coins either, rather shares in an etf.
One of the main reasons crypto was developed was to remove 3rd party / counter party risk.
Did you not see Celsius and other firms file for bankruptcy recently?
All those customers of those firms also got rekt, because their assets are not insured and they are considered 'unsecured creditors' of those firms, meaning you are in the last group that gets to make claims on the remaining assets left in a company once it goes bankrupt.. ie, you get nothing.
Yes, I’m aware that it’s a derivative/ETF. The reason these firms went bankrupt (TD did not) is because the price completely tanked. I won’t even be holding it through that big of a tanking. I’m going to trust TD Ameritrade and their derivative on this one. I’ve been trading with them for a long time and they’ve been great.
There have been many cases of coinbase and other methods of holding actual crypto getting stolen anyways. It’s a risk you take investing in something that isn’t even real to begin with. I’m not worried about it in the slightest and I’ll let you know how it pans out, but thanks for the tip.

Greater fool theory.
Don't get me wrong. In a world with what, 8 billion people?, there is still plenty of room to grow and make money off of the re-selling of magic beans.
Because they are only stable while crypto prices are rising. Once losses continue for a prolonged period, they can no longer afford to pay out their crazy high promised interest and when that happens, the house of cards collapses.
It is similar to why the housing market collapsed in 2008.
There is a possibility btc goes down further from here. I wouldn't buy until the Fed stops raising rates or pivots to start lowering them.
The upside potential is also not as high as it used to be. As BTC matures, the volatility will diminish, but so will its gains. Next bull run highs are likely only in the mid to upper 80K range based on these diminishing returns (aka only a 4-7x range (depending on the low) vs the last 22x bull run cycle.
Most of the major banks, are publicly bad mouthing bitcoin, but are privately buying. So there is that.

Bitcoin growth typically happens in a 10 day period.
I don't expect the Fed will lower rates.
I don't understand what you're saying in the first sentance. BTC actually goes up and down in cycles. The bull runs typically take place after a halvening, where it becomes more difficult to mine.
The Feb probably won't lower rates the first time, but they will pause on raising them. Eventually, they will have to ease at some point.
I've been in Bitcoin since 2009. I know about halvings. I've stumbled around and done pretty well.
The Fed is trapped.
Crypto adoption will continue. The only thing that will stop bitcoin from going up over the long term is if people move on to another token entirely.
Yes, that is the tried and true, all-purpose crypto response: "you are just too stupid to understand".
Good luck hodling, Super Genius.
The bear market low has either already happened as it seems to have hit between 17 and 20k multiple times in the last 4 months. That is typically a sign the market is over sold. I do however thin there is a lot of uncertainty going around so it may take a little longer than years past to break out of it. It also is not a bad time to buy right now, because I think it will be higher at the halving point then it is right now. I believe between now and the bitcoin halving will be the time to buy. I have been DCAing since January
good strategy.. it could go lower some say, others say the bottom is in.
One thing, the S&P just had what is called a death cross, so generally it means a big selloff is coming within the next couple of months (maybe end of year?) for the S&P 500.
Bitcoin has moved with or ahead of the stock market, so there could be more downside risk. The other consideration is, btc is already down by a large percentage, while stocks haven't caught up yet, so who really knows?
If BTC does go down, it probably won't stay down for long, meaning a guy might have to have some standing orders in to try and catch it as it wicks down to 12-13k before it goes back up.
BTC probably wont have another major bull run until after the next halvening, which is estimated around March 2024, and then it usually doesn't start until 6+ months after that event, so I don't see any major moves for BTC for the next 2 years.
If the financial world starts to fall apart, or governments ban crypto, things could change a lot before then, in either direction.
$17k officially hit. I know we got close a few months ago but just checking in on my favorite thread. Everybody that's been buying and DCAing above here...good luck. Downside can be swift and ruthless if we get some more...
This is typically what happens to ponzi schemes. Another one bites the dust...
Amazing how many of these firms were propped up by 0% rates.
Did you catch that 40% jump in BIIB a couple weeks ago?
