What's Up Late Night Crypto Lovers!
For the last few months, I've been having a pretty tuff time sleeping due the excitement of the Cryptocurrency markets. There were many times that I was checking coinmarketcap.com every hour on my iPhone to see where my favorite "Cryptos" were priced at. 🤣
I thought it was only me but soon realized it was almost everyone... All my "Social Media" friends where posting and talking about cryptocurrencies about how much "Gainz" they were getting 24/7.
Things kinda shifted last week, it seems to me that almost everyone got completely silent when the markets to start turning red. 😂
This tends to happen all the time in the markets, when people see things going straight up... everyone gets excited but when it turns negative, they get quite. I guess thats how it goes.
I seen it happen in 2006 with the real estate market, everyone was panic buying at all time highs and everyone said its the "best time to buy" until the crash happened in 2007 and it got quite again. I was looking at all of them cross eyed 🤨🤣
The same things happen to Silver in 2011, Silver was mooning from $18 all the way to $49 in several months and I couldn't even scroll through my facebook newsfeed without seeing a "Silver" post. Then a year later, Silver dipped all the way back to $20 and no one said anything again lol
I'm no way implying that this is going to happen to cryptocurrency markets, it's a totally different game here. However, I want everyone to realize anything can happen these days.
When things get quite, it's time to pick up positions if you believe in the company or technology. We may even see Bitcoin test $3000-$7000... who knows, no one has a crystal ball... just an opinion. 🤷🏼♂️
The next few weeks will be a very rocky one in the markets and I think we can test the Bitcoin price of $8,000, taking the whole alts coin with it. 📉
I hope I'm wrong, but the charts and sediment is telling me so... and if that is the case, awesome! I can buy some more on the dips. If not, I will still have all my positions. 💰
So do you guys think the"Bloodbath" will continue or are we about to "bounce" to all time highs? For those who does not know that lingo, it means everything turns red and start dipping to"lows" that people thought they will never see for a while. 😎
One other note, just remember you are not losing anything until you sell. Once you sell your positions for a loss, that's when you really do lose. 🙇🏼♂️
"Keep On STACKIN" 💞
I sure as hell hope so. I thought it was over two days ago, but not we slipped down again. Painful, although I know we'll be going up in time, but I had already gotten in some really good trades a few days ago when we went to $480B, so I hope we won't fall past that again. $8000 you say. Dang... Well, it's going to be painful, it seems. I will take the pain.
Please be over😧 when will i see my crypto going up??
The point where I see panic REALLY setting in, is IF Bitcoin goes under $8,000, since it is such a talked about level. If it goes below there even I may become a little nervous long-term lol.
We will see new highs but not for a while yet. I think the bloodbath will continue this week and maybe into next before settling down.
Mid Feb will hopefully see the start of the next bull run, I've told freinds who still aren't invested in the space to get in now as I believe this is the best last chance to get in at prices that will never be seen again once it kicks off.
Of course I could be way off but I think we'll all be smiling in a months time.
Stack on bro.
So Was Cliff High's Data right? lol... Let's see what happens in a few weeks. You know me, I will always have my positions for a very long time :)
He's been pretty close to the mark with Cryptos so far.
Same buddy, I'm HODLing for the long term in most cases. There are one of two tokens I may be offloading on the next spike.
It's going to be a wild ride the early part of this year but what fun eh!?
The most fun I had in a very long time 🤣
I ageee
You can't say with full surety whether market will go down any further or not but if we see the pattern and previous behavior of couple of weeks, it looks good time to buy altcoins. I am going long on xrp.
I'll wait for the next low, before I buy me some more cryptos! Last weeks the the panic low I tried to buy me some. But the exchanges wouldnt sell me some at that very moment... Seems the best prices are just for the insiders...
A great opportunity if you haven’t got in yet. Im ganna hodl my 15 alts. No intention of selling at these prices.
You got that “Strong Hand”! 🤝🙌🏼
This part of year always sucks for crypto.
Yeah, everyone spent all there money in December for the holidays lol
But we saw a corrrction late december
as i did , for my begining in crypto ... im now 4k in lost ... just hope it goes up again ,... at least in 2019 loll
Yup its will be ok i think but....
Ya bro i hope market will boom soon !
Charles, check out this event on Friday if you can:-) https://www.facebook.com/events/570838066604219/
I’ll check it out Bossman 🙌🏼
I agree - it is pretty much in line what my thoughts are on the market. It seem we have some bearish weeks ahead of us.
Totally agree, I think that people will have one more shot to pick up these cryptos on the low until we hit the moon :)
I feel crypto is still fairly new territory for 99% of people. Getting into it now is still probably considered an early adopter. Of course the market will have pull backs as people cash out their profits but I feel the overall market is still in an upwards trend and come February, we'll be seeing all time highs again! (Hopefully)
If everyone had the same mindset like us, they gonna be rich in few years 🤑
hahaha hopefully!! however, i'm not invincible to panic, especially when my family and friends always tell me how it's a bubble and it's only short term etcetc.
hopefully i'll show them in a year or two!!
Well I sure hope you are right
hahaha yeah, hopefully!
Major Pull back......oooooman that would be delightful
Charles @stackin this is Childs play for an Old Time Stock Trader like me. If you buy what you like in CRYPTO's on the DIPS you will get all excited come February when we swing to the UPside again.........
Gotta hold on to those "Blue Chips" haha ... Bitcoin, EOS, ICX for me :)
That is what I am talkin about !
ETH lows of 700 - 900 should be tested! After that we can re-enter rally mode in cryptos!
is there a rule #2 ?
We do not know the future, but are just trading probabilities. This is our base scenario and the most probable one. Let's check how it will play and then reassess probabilities after accomplishing this step.
Thanx
I, too, for bitcoin;)I think this correction will soon end!Good post!
Charles, stop scaring the the newbie traders with this bloodbath selling at loss talk! Everyone stay clam and watch the storm. I’m curious to see the market play out this year too. Will we hit an all time low, will we hit another all time high? Will a new coin lead the market? How will China, how will taxes come into play, will stackin finally buy @choogirl and me those drinks?
Only time will tell.. 😉
@stackin, come to Florida 17 March. Kubby and I will be there. We are thirsty!
Whats happening there lol
Delray Beach meet-up plus bonus St Paddy's Day shenanigans. Kubster, me, Scaredy Cat Guide, Crimsonclad, Morodiene and Negativer, and Swelker101 and Isaria. You should come too. It's gonna be rad.
And you sound confused. You owe US +100 drinks, not the other way around. 😁
I'm making the peeps aware, people like to sugar coat stuff HAHA... All I know is that you and @chogirl owe me 100+ drinks already lol
ha don't get it twisted my friend, choogirl has the proof!
After the Chinese New Year everything will go up, up! until then buy the dips or hodl! <3 cheers Charles, how cool is that Jeff is talking about you in the latest videos? so awesome
#altcoin army
That’s was awesome, I get tons of people always droppin my name haha... he said my last name wrong though lol
hahaha
Maybe u will join their team
would you like that?
"This tends to happen all the time in the markets, when people see things going straight up... everyone gets excited but when it turns negative, they get quite. I guess thats how it goes."
LOL This is the TRUTH! A couple of weeks ago I'm getting emails, DM's, messages left right and center about all 'the crypto opportunities' And now you can hear the pin drops.
Great post man, I think the dips will continue for a bit...But the opportunities are always in front of us....I hope lol
So true, my facebook inbox was filled with people saying do this and buy that, it’s been quite for several days 🤣
We literally had a correction last week, this isn’t a correction but oversold crypto.
I believe we will see a strong bull market before June, just STUCK and HODL people. i don’t see any reason to sell right now
Agreed! Its crazy to sell, just keep STACKIN tokens for years to come 🙌🏼
New coin worth checking out listed on binance yesterday IOST IOS Token https://iost.io you should write a review on it
don't say too much before 26th Jan, then cme futures will opens, and then maybe we will see a nice spike up!
You are right, I have that date written down lol
Can someone explain how futures work? Why do futures spike up the price?
let's suppose i'm a whale, with so much money..
tomorrow open the future, for example, so now i'm buying a lot of btc in the market, pushing up the price.. and tomorrow i will open a short position while selling my btc and pushing down the price. double profit.
obviously also vice versa, that is what could happen at the moment..
Great question, I’ll venture guess that if you’re not shorting and you whale, well enough Whales they’ll find a way to increase price, just a guess
Something to pay attention to for sure
Your forecasts have good reason and I even saw a forecast that Bitcoin's bottom would be at $ 7500. I think that this game of bears should have been and the bulls will take matters into their own hands! Thank you @stackin
Totally agree, time to set my buy orders in if that happens 🤑
Great Post - Heard a quote today "If my grandma is talking about Crypto its time to get out" - The hysteria has been huge, but still only 5% or less of the world are in the crypto space. It will rise again and the Grandma's will increase. I find this space very addictive and I'm sure i'm not alone.
I heard it under 1% still. Tons came into the markets during thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, they got slaughtered but if they HODL, they will get some major gainzzz down the road lol
The Media are to blame for the drop as well, they have no idea what they are talking about, they call it FUD - lol - I covered this in my latest rant.

The correction is good for the health of the coin.
In my oppinion, the correction will end in february!
Totally agree, I want Bitcoin to test the $6000-$8000 mark briefly in the coming weeks. That will cause a huge bull run if that happens. :)
Seems to be the going answer, watch out for bull trap, article mentioned in one of my posts
"One other note, just remember you are not losing anything until you sell. Once you sell your positions for a loss, that's when you really do lose. "
EXACTLY!
💪🏼🙌🏼💯
When you sell, to be correct, you have to know for certain the price is going to go down, you must have strong evidence, or I suppose some do it by feel
I think its perfectly fine to have some corrections in the market and to see a phase of markets going straight or slightly down.. It's a good time to go outside and make some "real world experiences" and to consider buying more... The time of crypo excitement is coming back soon enought!😁
We haven’t seen anything yet, we will all looks back in couple of years and say to ourselves... man Bitcoin was cheap at $10,000 lol
This is a good thing imo. The markets were reaching all time hights for soo long, lets crypro take a break for a month or so. I think that when a new innovation hits interest in crypto will be reignited and crypto will go back to green!
not an expert, this is not financial advice
Slow and steady growth is the way to go 💪🏼🙌🏼💯
Yeah it is funny how everyone gets quiet. You should have seen it in 2015. No one was posting videos of their mining rigs. Everyone was just sitting in their closets eating a tub of ice cream to make themselves feel better.
I like it when its quite haha
I took a market snapshoot. Every crypto price dropped too much.
That's what you call a "Bloodbath" 😎
will bounce back for sure!
Excellent post and for bitcoin i think we might see more dips in price towards 7k mark but my favorite coin is steem and i am sure steem will gain more heights in very near future, so buying and holding steem now is still a wise decision, thanks for sharing your nice thoughts with us, Stay blessed
Yes, anything can happen... HODL!! 😂
You have said it all, you don't loss anything until you sell, for me I think the period of bloodbath is over. This is the time to stack because any moment from now cypto currencies is about to bounce to all time high.
We might have a slight bounce back but its going to be very rocky in the next few weeks. 😀
Best time to buy is when it's red and boring hahha
Keeping it simple, I like that! 😎
No reason for it to stay down its just winding up to go to the next level!
Just like the rubberband effect! 📉📈
Cryptocurrency to the moon?
It will soon be... mooooooon time! 🌝
It's May 2018. Bitcoin's price has just crashed from USD $42,000 down to $29,000.
It's September 2018. Bitcoin crashes from $87,000 to $48,000.
It's January 2019. Bitcoin crashes from $105,000 to $63,000.
You think this dip is hard? Just wait and hold
It's 2030 and bitcoin has crashed from 0.02 BCH to 0.011 BCH!!
Honestly don't think bch will replace btc but surely someday there'll be a new "gold standard".
I like that kinda thinkin’ 🙌🏼
don't panic, hodlers are the smartest here ehhe
All the newbs are panic selling after buying high smh smh 😂
We've had the bloodbath for quite a while now, although we've not and can't certainly predict if it will continue but I think we will have a few green here and there in the crypto table and not totally a bath
Hmmm what if we goes down another 30%, never known lol... time to stack every week 🤑
Seeing all this red definitely stirs up some emotions, but there are people out there with some SERIOUS money to spend who can gobble up all these "lows" for future profits.
And, when that happens, wouldn't all of their heavy purchases make the market rise back up again?
In that case, like you said, just HODL.
You just had to put in Chris Tucker! Classic!
Lol. "And you know this, man!"
We will have to go through the test. We will have to go through the valley, but at the edge of the valley is the mountain that we will climb again.
Well said @david777111 🙌🏼
a few more coins try to up and forward but btc pull back all coins, this is not ideal time to prediction, bloodbath may running!
Analysts have predicted a crash for a few days now, as all the major coins have posted huge gains since the last correction took place, in early-November. That was not, however, as broad as the one that followed its mid-June peak of $3,000, which lasted well into August.
Speaking the truth right here 💯
best thing for new investors can only be a dramtic decrease in price; this as well will allow the players in the market to buy cheap again - at least if they are in longterm...
so in my personal opinion we hsould not worry too much about shortterm changes - rather we should take chances to rebuy and increase our future potential( obv. only if we do believe in the coins/ tokens we are willing to invest).
Cheers
Thinking like a true investor! 😎
The way I see it, I´m not losing money but only time - the recent dip just threw me back 2 weeks. It´s better to think that than in raw numbers (like I "lost" 50k the past week). Mainly psychology to not panic and worry too much. What I also did over the past week is to reduce my portfolio to just 2 coins (EOS & STEEM) as I see them as the most stable coins with biggest potential in the coming weeks - EOS because it´s a game changer and STEEM because most of it is bound longterm anyway and all the other obvious reasons why we use it here (and the fact, that it´s the only crypto I can really USE daily! - which brings me to a neat idea for a blog post for today ;))
EOS has been steady... I’m stackin EOS! 🙌🏼

New graphic cards drop February. I am excited to see that will effect the ETH market, since gddr6 will be replacing the old gddr5 cards. Hopefully this will drop demand on some of the older models so I can build my rig.
