3000/20000 = 0.15, so 85% drop.
10000/40000 = 0.25, so 75% drop.
There's nothing saying the price of BTC can't drop by 75%, but the question is whether right now a bull run has just finished, or it's only started.
Neither of us know for sure, and we understand each others' perspectives so no point rehashing.
Incidentally though, the drop of 85% occurred over 12 months and coincided with the "bull run/bear market" Bitcoin cycle perfectly. My opinion is that if a drop of anywhere near to 85% occurred now it would be out of place, but also that if a drop of anywhere near 85% occurred at a speed of weeks or months, it would be exponentially more out of place compared to that taking 12 months of continuous selling previously.
I'm invested in multiple cryptos including BTC.
Being invested in something doesn't automatically mean you're emotionally investing, and not holding something doesn't mean you're not.
I have a vested interest in the price increasing from here, you have a vested interest in it decreasing. Ideally we would both be making our decisions in a non-emotional way, however it's unrealistic to imagine than anyone other than a trading algorithm has literally 0% emotion attached to their decisions. You or me.
Probably not a bad idea. I'm wary of the stock market and traditional markets in general right now with the uncertainty in the world and the mass production of USD recently.
But depending on how things go with Biden and the virus, it might be a very good investment to aim for undervalued stocks.
Apologies, my maths was off, I was just giving rough numbers, I flipped the 25% and 75% by mistake.
But yes over 12 months, I anticipate for this cycle to repeat. I'm not saying it will be 10k in a few months, I'm saying it will be 10k before it breaks the ATH again, whether thats in 2 weeks or 12 months I don't know, I don't really study timeframe predictions as it's not useful to me.
I don't really have an interest in the price dropping to be fair, I'm not too fussed if it does or doesn't, trading is just a side hobby to me, I don't do it for money, I just enjoy it for some weird reason, I do buy a lot of books on finance/stocks/bonds/trading, I guess I just have a natural interest in it.
I like my money making methods to be more solid rather than fluid, especially since interest rates are low and our generation is about cashflows rather than savings accounts. So trading is honestly just a hobby for me, when I earn money from it, it's just a side bonus. I'm mainly in the SEO game for creating cashflows, so my opinion does have 0% emotion to it.
It's like gambling, if I bet on red, I'm emotionally invested. If I'm watching others play that I don't have any relationship to at all, I don't care if it comes out red or black. At the moment I'm not playing BTC, and since it's not a cashflow for me and it's a hobby, if it makes a new ATH and I miss it, it doesn't bother me. I just like watching erratic markets lol, it's fun and its something we will probably never see again once its over.
I've switched to stock markets now, there's quite a lot of companies that have had their stock price sliced in half, like catering companies who couldn't function in lockdown, but they will operate as normal when the pandemics over, and that's when their price will rise back to normal.
Stock markets are a good investment as we come to the end of the pandemic.
Also quantitative easing leads people to the stock market. After all who wants cash when the governments are devaluing it with QE? I'd rather have assets. That's why gold price has smashed upwards
I'm also hoping for the housing market to crash soon, I thought Brexit would trigger it in the UK, but sadly the pandemic blocked it, it's an overinflated bubble. Soon as a big bad move comes from the UK gov, the bubble will pop. And then time to jump in to real estate
