The three blokes I know who have had money in the crypto game have all cashed out now.
They are happy to be out with their head above water.

For sure the Revolut and Robinhood traders who entered the market this year looking for quick gains are now leaving as they are basically trend-followers (and they tend to amplify the trend in either direction).

I guess soon we are reaching levels whereby longer term holders are being tested. It will be interesting how things turn-out (as I post this, anyone who bought last year is still positive).

This thing is wild.

Looks like I should've stayed Tethered up that time. Was expecting altseason, but got a crash! Are you not entertained?!

It'll be interesting to see what the rest of the year will be like. It's not even summer yet.

The sovereign Governments are going to start closing doors to crypto all over the place. It will soon solely become the vehicle for criminality that its currently developing as and when the music stops, those criminal elements will be left holding valueless, untransactable records.

The rest of this year looks only like more and more erosion of values. Get out, get out now.

Coinbase is only allowing me to spend a measly $3,000. So where can I buy a one full bitcoin in one transaction?

CNN expecting SEC intervention within 30 days to make a determination on improper, even criminal market manipulation of crypto.

It is being paralleled with junk bonds, a rigged market, a corrupt commodity like ivory or blood diamonds rather than any sort of asset class.

This is what i think is happening. The music is stopping and the smarter money is walking.Really once the ****ing with governments started, it was time to get out.

If we start to see fresh coins that haven't been moved for years in quantity back in the market then the game will be up.

I'm surprised Charlie Lee hasn't been nabbed yet, he's been all-but named by the SEC in relation to manipulating LTC on Coinbase when he worked there.

Tether briefly dipped to 90 cents (and still at 97): https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/tether

Probably just a short term liquidity issue, but it won't help with the panic mood ...

I appear to have missed a lot today. The exchanges crashing might actually be a good thing. Less panic selling may allow the prices to stabilise.

You're completely ignoring the applications of crypto. DeFi can exist outside of governments. That is the whole point.

God have mercy on any of the new investors who bought at 65k. This may be their first butchering. The blood always sting harder when the wound is first opened.

Elon Musk has manipulated this market into a classic pump and dump from the 30 k handle , he will alienate a lot of people who are fans .

Guys my average price of BTC is €45k; down now at under €30 (way lower than it was in March when I started dipping in crypto); is it time to jump ship or is this a temporary blip that will rebound.

Well certainly try not to sell at a loss. If you don't need the money then just wait it out.

Why would a CEO have fans.
