Bitcoin is known for its wild swings.
Last week, it dropped under $10,000... a fall of around 50% from its December highs.
It's since recovered some, but that is a serious drop.
However, today I'd like to put that in perspective a bit.
In bitcoin's history... 50% drops are not uncommon.
Crash #1: In 2013, it dropped from $233 to $67 in a single night!
That's a crash of 72% in 24 hours.
Of course, by November of that year, it was back up all the way to $1,150.
But then it crashed again!
Crash #2: By December 2013, it was down more than 50% again to $500.
It recovered once more, until...
Crash #3: The Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange got hacked... and bitcoin again dropped 49%.
And in 2017, we've seen two crashes.
Crash #4: After rising to $3,000, bitcoin dropped back to $1,869, a fall of 36%.
And finally, we saw...
Crash #5: When China put restrictions on bitcoin trading, the cryptocurrency dropped 37% from its $5,000 high.
Okay, so what's my point in going through all of this?
First of all, bitcoin trading takes nerves of steel.
There are going to be ups and downs.
But the second point is that investors who bought on every single one of these crashes have made a ton of money!
These are buying opportunities every time.
And the latest crash means that you can buy bitcoin at half the price that other people paid.
Remember...
This cycle has happened over and over...
boom-bust-BOOM.
So let's take advantage of it!
Bitcoin is for sure one volatile market, it would be good to see more stability. But like you I aim to HODL because I believe in this new era that has to come.
If you’re into crypto, you’ve got to have nerves of steel ;-)
But what you’re saying is true. Since the very beginning, Bitcoin has been crashing, but only to go up to a higher value afterwards. This is indeed a perfect opportunity to buy
