Everything seems to be very green today!

I’m worried there will be a massive dump soon in BTC, and all the other altcoins. Is now a good time to sell then buy back in? Can it continue rising like this? I just don’t know. Welcome to the wild west I suppose.
Obv impossible to predict, and thus more akin to gambling. Funnily enough it has that feel of stocks, where you can’t see them going higher and yet…
But my sense is that if true, the big rise in demand for BTC from Japan, Korea and similar counties means much of this money will stay in the system, rather than it being caused by the mother of all P&Ds.
It’s bemusing that alts have held or even gone up against BTC too, but perhaps a rising tide is good for all ships. And also perhaps this is just indicative of how little cash (in global market terms) is needed to pump the entire crypto world. Total market cap almost $90B. Still fairly small.

Depends what your game plan is. I’m in long and deep. I read elsewhere that in crypto it’s very hard to short the market without getting burnt. Unless I really need to sell then I won’t.

True. I think the new money will stay in the cryptosphere one way or another. It’s not easy to withdraw on mass back into fiat.

And now we’re closing on 45c. Where once I scoffed at $1 Maids by year’s end, now I’d be shocked if it weren’t.

I also read somewhere that it’s $10 or $20 billion new money in crypto since this week alone. Amazing.

That is quite amazing. It’s good to think we are still early doors I suppose.

This is nothing. Just wait for the next stock market crash, and watch the new theme among asset managers that crypto is a hedge…

For those of us sitting on the sidelines of the house market, a stock + house price crash + crypto moon = lottery win. Can’t possibly hope for all of that

Update: Even more now

Stock crash + housing crash would mean a serious liquidity crunch. Not sure that would be great news for crypto really. You think it has made the full transition from speculative asset to store of value?

I have no idea if crypto would see inflows during a crash. @SwissPrivateBanker seems to think it’s possible.
I was more thinking about buying myself another house cheaply with profits made by cryptocurrency.
I think it’s fair to say that with crypto we are in unchartered territory and all cards are off the table. I.e. Anything can happen.

I don’t agree with people buying up housing stock to create a rentier society. Cheap shelter should be a basic human right. Landlordism is a cancer.

To be clear: If I should buy another house, I would sell my current house, that would hopefully be less impacted by a price drop.
But we’re getting of topic.
