Don't buy while the market is crashing. Why try to catch a falling knife?
Until you are confident that the bottom has been put in, sit on your hands and do nothing. And if you can't do that then go ahead and masturbate with one of your free hands - assuming you cant trade at the same time with your free hand.
BTC might be going as low as $2K. Could be $1K.
Be patient.
They buying opportunities will still be there in the future.
If you try to catch a falling knife and fail, you could be damaging your capital in a major way

The best time for buying is when you see everything red. Even if it is going towards 3K or 2K it will rebound.
GREAT DUDE HEHE
but... @haejin told me to buy he showed me a chart and everything ;(
Honestly I have done my own research and think now it the perfect time to start cost averaging as I can buy back what I sold at a massive discount :D
You got a point. It's better to get more alt coin now I think .
Well, I don't know if that's the best way either, because BTC drives the market. I mean, I bought some alts at ridiculous prices (in comparison to ATH) but still, if BTC goes to 5k, the alts will bleed massively. And thats a good thing, the shitcoins will disapear, or at least people will be looking better into them before buying them.
Bitcoin has driven the market for cryptos so far. But we've seen bitcoin's dominance dwindle and the altcoins are getting more attention and looking more and more attractive now that some people have transacted in bitcoin ($10 fee and 2 hour transaction times).
I'm thinking this crash will mark the separation of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency. Would love to hear your thoughts
Do you mean separation of Bitcoin and Crypto, or Bitcoin and Altcoins?
I could imagine both.
You know, I see bitcoin as if it was your lifelong wife. (Dont stop reading, it looks ridiculous but give me a chance to explain).
You meet the girl. She is AWESOME, the best, the future, you will die for her.(getting to know BTC)
You marry her, life is getting even better, fresh married life..great! (Your first profits)
The marriage stars getting dull, boring, you start looking at other girls. (You realize that BTC is not so great after all, so many altcoins, so much better, millions tx/s...hmm...maybe...)
When you have a moment of clarity and overcome the bad times in the marriage....you realize the value of that woman and of that relationship, and that there is nothing that compares to it, no matter how shiny they seem.
I dont know why, but I have a feeling that bitcoin is going to be massive. Maybe not as a currency, but eventually as many other things.
People talk about being the digital Gold. I agree. But I also agree that it can be the digital EVERYTHING of our world. I´m not very technical on blockchain, but if you can have some sidechains, attach other chains, forks, etc...bitcoin could host everything.
I imagine some chain that has a utility, and from time to time it inserts its state in the bitcoin chain. You dont overload the mainchain, but you "register" some state from time to time. Example: IDs. You have a chain recording IDs for people, a chain by itself secure, but not as Bitcoin. You could every hour/day/week keep updating your state to BTC. If something happened in your chain you could do a reliable fork from the BTC transaction.
I dont know, maybe Im getting ahead of myself.
The question remains, will we use crypto as currency? (I strongly believe and hope so). If yes, which one, how, how many...etc.
I would rather buy in a bearish market than in a bull market. Most of the people who bought Bitcoin at 18k lost a lot of money. Right now I just think that the market is waiting for a trigger to get back up and when this will happen there will be a lot of FOMO. but this is just my humble opinion :)
absolute right point, we have to wait
You are totally right. It is normal strategy to buy alts when BTC is going down but only when you are sure about the BTC support levels. Where are the support levels now? In last few days every support in which I believe was broken.
Totally with you! I just but some fresh money into LTC and BTC as well as Lisk as I believed it was the bottom. BAM! Again 20% down. I am waiting now to see a continuous trend upwards, signs are not yet there.
An if I miss out 20% up for some days I don't care. Got enough to "win" with my current portfolio.
Once markets stabilise and I am out of the red I will start trading I assume.
All, be strong and think twice before following the "buy now" calls. Thanks for wakeup call @davebrewer
where do you see steem going relative to bitcoin in the distant future? (1 year ish) just curious
You are absolutely right,one should have patience
Buying more NEO, yes I love NEO...hopefully the price remains low so I can pick up some more.
i got into NEO when it was Antshares on ICO... it was doing nothign for sooo long time!
I got it at $0.26 and it's been doing a lot:)
Well I think it's better to wait because BTC is falling every minute now. In my opinion it's better to wait until it reaches the minimal drop. I think it better to go for Etherium or litecoin.
Yes, better to wait for now
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@davebrewer/hodlers-can-be-uninformed-morons-do-you-understand-you-are-not-buying-lottery-tickets
Likewise dear.
Litecoin has a lot of potential as well as DASH
hodl hodl hodl
Fomo-ing Neo right now
Got some recently. Maybe i should get more
good choice.
Yep buy NEO
I was thinking the same I lone NEO !
Love that GAS dividend. Brilliant. Should be able to live off of it in 1-5 years.
I just picked up some more steem! What a crazy ride, the market is really putting us to the test right now. Common bitcoin pick yourself off the ground!
nice one! keep it up!
I have just raised my BTC, EOS, NEO, TRX, COSS and BCO holdings.
Who dares wins :-)
I think the top 50 coins are going to recover well when the market reverses, is important to pick good projects because the market is becoming more smarter and projects without any use case and is just a money grabber will probably not be here in 1 year.
Thanks for sharing
I'm too scared to buy anymore, but I'm HODLing and using bounties and airdrops to get in on some new projects on a small scale.
HODLer. Good luck with your lottery ticket.
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@davebrewer/hodlers-can-be-uninformed-morons-do-you-understand-you-are-not-buying-lottery-tickets
Thanks Dave (I know you aren't actually wishing me good luck :-)). I put in a small amount of money as a long-term investment. I don't know enough, nor have enough time or money to daytrade, so I'm buying what I can afford to lose and keeping that money invested instead of freaking out every time the market dives. It's the same as any investment I make, whether in stocks, ETFs, etc.
This is a good way to pass time. Everyone loves airdrops! Where do you find them?
AirdropAlert. I've used this just over the past week or so--pretty solid.
Is there a link to that? I did well out of Bitcoin White bounty, and now kicking myself for not finding at least 1-2 week and just hodling them in a spreadsheet.
I just found this Telegram group ... Same thing? https://t.me/AirdropAlert
https://airdropalert.com/
Still look into them before joining. Not all are worth it, but most don't require more than signing up for their Telegram account.
EOS has some projects airdropping to token holders, which is a pretty sweet deal
Yes! Been stocking up a little on EOS. End of Feb for the airdrop I believe.
I am too scared to even look at the prices!!
No need to be scared. Stop looking at it and on Christmas Day you will have the best Christmas give you ever imagined. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to see BTC above $40,000. Honestly. It's going to be awesome.
Yeah, same here. I am avoiding my Blockfolio app at all costs.
I had a look - woah your not wrong!!
Hahahaha, yeah. I just don't want to know since I'm investing for the long-term.
dont be scared :)
I don't run from the dips anymore (still a newbie - 1.5 months in), but I have a hard time giving them a hug just yet :-)
I'm right there with ya, entered in december and was feeling good through most of january til now...
Haha, yeah!
Small scale here also. Scared to death of buying the big boy coins and how crazy it is. Talking about Airdrops, i'm giving away a few of my own coins from a new project I have been supporting the past month or so. Details in this post https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@spammy/my-first-cryptocoin-plus-free-coin-giveaway
Thanks, checking out now.
It depends how much fiat you have. It’s difficult to sit on a load of fiat when the market is increasing so much (like it did before Xmas), so I doubt many crypto investors have stacks of fiat to invest with!
Zclassic right before the Bitcoin Private Hard Fork
Instead of overshilling I will just say if you make trades based on psychology and timing make sure you do your homework first
Litecoin and Etherium always a top choice, I like EOS It is right up there with them.
There are a few other alt coins and of coarse steem, which is a really great buy, but with Bitcoin coming down, I think I will jump on more bitcoin a little at a time and some alt coin, being Litecoin Etherium and EOS.
Maybe even some bitcoin cash, it’s come down to where it was before it went crazy, so I believe it will go higher again, pick what you like and buy what you can afford and enjoy the ride!
Again Iwill focus more on Bitcoin, only 16 million makes me want part of that pie.
LTC is my <3
EXCL on Trex
oh yeah i love masternode coins, having this one!
ETH is my favorite bet longterm.
I'm also buying up EOS, NEO, and IOTA.
For high-risk high-potential-return I like IOSToken right now. It has it all: hype, volume, super low market cap, and it's a full blockchain platform (not just a service that runs on one).
I don't know if this is considered spam or not, but I just finished my first SteemIt post and it's a slightly stoney theory about big banks possibly pushing this crash lower than the market action alone. If anyone is interested, check it out at https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@leeforder/crypto-thoughts-1-big-banks-deliberately-worsening-cryptocurrency-crash-to-create-buying-opportunity.
Thanks everyone who's been sharing their thoughts on coins here. I'm reading this entire comment section. Always something to learn.
Right now, most people are probably confused & thinking, "WTF?!?!" If you have a lot of money invested and you're losing a lot, the best thing (I think) to do, right now, is HODL. Patience through these hiccups will end up paying off in the long term because crypto is definitely an idea whose time has come. Volatility in the PetroDollar has been expected for a long time and is, in fact, overdue. While the dollar & the stock markets go through their chaos, many more people are now going to be looking for a "safe haven." Crypto is here to move finances & money into the future and it's not going to go anywhere. I would not be surprised to see BitCoin and many of the other major coins go screaming upwards very soon. As the old FIAT systems prove, once again, they are failed experiments - blockchain technology, while still flawed and cumbersome to use, is going to seize this opportunity to shine. Stand fast.
And, if you do have the ability to invest into some more - or some new - cryptos, they are all on sale right now. I think big profits are coming in cryptos this year - even bigger and better than we had in 2017.
in no particular order, these coins will surely come out of this bear market stronger than before:
Neo/Gas, Dash, Ethereum Classic, Zcash, Litecoin, Stellar, Monero, OmiseGo, Factom, and of course, Bitcoin.
it would be wise to wait and see the announcement from US regulators as well. and probably what they find out about Teether scam. Bitcoin could go lower than 5K for sure
Ugh, I have no extra cash to spend and it sucks!
It always the case for me so sad
:(
Picking up COSS, NEO and a bit of PRL. COSS and PRL are my Moon missions while I feel like NEO is a solid pick.
Selling 5% of my BTC at $6500 and hoping to buy back at $5500 :)
You'll be sorry! BTC may have a little bit more downside, but the upside is incredible. Then you will be buying higher wishing you hadn't of sold. Just hold and you will be thanking yourself for years to come.
BTC looks like it is severely over-sold right now. I wouldn't mind a little more drop though. I'd love some more cheaper BTC
if the 5k support breaks though ... we could be in for it...
risky but with 5%... can pay off ;)
Right now feel spoiled for choice, yet SBD is holding up around $3 i'm thinking to use a bit and load up just about anything really and wait for the bounce! Apart from Bitcoin. I think that could stay down.
If you're so good at picking coins why are you not on vacation and still on steemit?
so if i made money i shouldnt help others ? shows what kind of person u are.
Oh, I had no idea your membership was free to the world, I thought you were selling some scam type information program.
@kingscrown I think PLR since they will have a NEW Crypto Wallet that will make it easier for the masses to get involved in Crypto...............
i do have some, will check if i can pick up moar :)
I got to be honest this is a huge test. A test for all the newbies that got into crypto when the prices were skyrocketing. Its not all roses and green grass, this crash was needed. It will weed out the weak from the strong. I bought more XLM, TRX, XRP, BTC, ETH and PAC. This is a sale of all sales. If people are new to crypto or thought they missed the boat here's their chance. Strike while the iron is "red" hot!
PAC is most ricky of your choices but we will see :)
Oh very much so! But high risk means high reward. I bought a few million when it was 0.00001 The team has really been turning it around. They have an awesome white paper and road map. They are doing a coin burn at the moment for 1000 to 1 ratio. That right there will increase pacs value. After the coin burn ill have close to a 800,000 and I know pac will hit a dollar. We broke cryptopia b/c of our high traffic volume. This is a HODL
I ain't buying anything.Crash is not over yet.Im watching bitshares,big sell on bitCNY market.One order of 125 million BTS (Around 3500 BTC),many smaller sell orders,of 1 million,500,000..whales are selling their BTS!
Steem! And then powering up!
No time for the fear, there are deals to be had LOL
Who knows, it can all crash and burn. I think it may go down further but regardless, I believe in this community and the tech behind it...So I'm Steem / Steemit for the long run :)
STEEM looks good here but who knows :)))
ha ha ha ain't that the truth!
I would agree that Steem is a great project and has a big potential! Compared to the other projects Steem is one of the only ones that has a running product! Never forget about that! :)
At the moment, a little too jumpy to get into much of anything, aside from continued support for Steem. Also looking at edging into BTS... with some uncertainty on the table, I like the idea of buying something that has an authentic "economic reason" for being... Steem has Steemit and a bunch of apps and soon SMTs. Bitshares... well, that speaks for itself. Too many coins out there are just a white paper that used the word "blockchain" 43 times.
BTS STEEM EOS.. seem all good projects
I've leased out the bulk of my Steem Power through Minnow Booster, so in a sense I'm buying STEEM. That's what Minnow Booster pays in.
yeah thats also a way of buying stuff by not dumping but multiplying ;)
I am going heavy on a few alt coins for value, potential unknown like everything in life - TRX, NYC & SIA All have interesting and diverse stories..
NAS- google for blockchain. There will one day be millions of blockchains, according to the CEO of Binance in his recent Korean conference presentation. NAS is building the algorithms to do to blockchain what google did for the internet!
i have no NAS, will check it
BTC is falling but i think it will fight back soon.
But ass most people i will bet for Neo.
I think it's good to buy DOGE now haha
Shopping list includes:
I recently got some Dragonchain and EOS.
DRGD i still have since ICO, Disney on it.. loving it!
Status was the fastest riser on the last bounce and their platform is set to launch, looks very cool. I expect ADA to make some big moves soon.
SNT is taking so long to pump but it has to at some point. ADA is said to be japanese ETH.. we will see :)
As always, believe in the coin you believed in and HODL it FIRM & STRONG!!!
ETH went from $14.00 to $1400 in 12 months, how can you determine true value based on that, time will tell I guess.
true.
I bought BTC,ETH,XRP, but now they look terrible.
give them some breath ;) esp the first two
I have been scaling into BTS...been loading up on that...too hard to resist.
good call i also hodl em!
I’m buying granola bars... with chocolate chips. Hodling coffee and energy drinks.
I'll most likely be buying more EOS. The community is infectious, it hits most (if not more) of its milestones, and Dan is ahead of his time - all great signs for the coin. The only potential downside is knocking out a giant like Ethereum, however it has been in the #9 spot.
I did some quick calculations last week while sitting in my Physiology lecture, and for EOS to reach BTC's market cap at the time of calculations, EOS (with its circulating supply) would have to hit around $249 per coin. If EOS can be successful in all its promises, I don't see why it couldn't hit at least twenty dollars - which, if you were to buy now, would be a nice profit!
Bitcoin is dead, looking forward to buy NEO, GAS, ICX, NAS, NEM, EOS, IOTA AND XLM
Pretty difficult to predict at this time. The volatility of the market is just too heavy. However, I remain with my sweet SBD.
Right now I think that any solid (emphasis on solid) Coin is ok. However the challenge is to determine the lowest low.
Me personally, I bought some more at mcap ~520 bill. Planning to add more, buy not sure when...
Holding BTC, ETH and IOTA (no buying at the moment)
why IOTA?
I believe in tangled technology
Bitshares at .17
I mean......
Hold on, I just need to figure out how to create a
scamcoin and I'll let you know so people cangive me moneyinvest.The Man with No Name ... but Clearly with a Lot of Brains. Well done :))
I just hope that the market stabilizes as soon as possible, that it will be a prosperous and growing year for cryptocurrencies
It's too early to jump in with both feet to buy and hold, however if you have the time and money to watch the moves, there are plenty of opportunities to make some decent coin on those moves on a daily basis. Just watch the Volume and RSI of ETH or LTC and make your buys and sales.
Nothing. I'm not reach enough to buy cheap coins.
