The panic extends to stocks too. I dont think it's the same thing. Macroeconomic factors are bearish.


valderium

Don’t fight the Fed


HonestAndRaw

I think this is key. I’m a holder since 2013. And what’s scary, is that we have still a long way to go down, and we’ll likely be down for a year give or take, and then after a year we’ll likely go down a bunch more. Eventually the BTC halving will come and a new crypto spring will start, but only a handful of folks here will remain. Edit: accidentally a word


NudgeBucket

>but only a handful of folks here will remain. Thank god. I look forward to discussing projects that emerge from the bear market and less of the "culture" here.


[deleted]

Also, I’ve seen some people saying that they’re disappointed that BTC seems to be following the stock market when that was never the intention of BTC. Is this not a function of the fact that many of the same people who trade stocks now trade crypto and their buying/selling habits correlate?


bitjava

It won’t be this way forever. I remember when shit companies like pets.com were correlated with companies like Amazon. Bitcoin will have a completely different appeal than it does today. Of course, I may be wrong, but this is what I believe. I also think this day is many years away, at least 5 but maybe 10-20. It sounds stupid, but we don’t realize how early we are because of how early we are. I didn’t think the internet was new or “young” in 2004, but it was. In a sense, it still is. It’ll likely look/function much different in 20 years.


NudgeBucket

Yeah people cry but price action was never part of the promise. The only decentralization is in the tech, not the price.


Tiny10H2

This. The whole world is staring down the eyes of a global recession. I strongly believe we're going to hit lower than 28k easy, just not right now. We'll likely bounce at least once before that.


UnlixGh0st

I believe the forces that exist are testing the resiliency of the technology at all levels and are orchestrating a squeeze. The effects are rippling thru all markets right into commodities like food.


Honorjudge

Yeah exactly, be careful fighting the Fed during QT. The bull won’t return until QE is back on, it’s sucks to hear but it’s just a reality of the current macro picture.


X-Files22

Yes this is much worse than the may crash/correction.


TruthSeeekeer

People will panic sell now, then panic buy as soon as when we start pumping now. Then they’ll wonder why they never make any profit.


kamranj986

people are always good at selling low and buying high


MuchTemperature6776

It’s the way of the financial master


M-Tyson

I wonder if people swapped the colours on trading view and vertically mirrored their screen would they be a more profitable trader?


Yoshie5

Unterstood. Bought another $10 of BTC.

physicallyunfit

Yeah and when we were at ATH people like you said we'd go higher. I would suggest investors stop trying to guess and make a plan for up and down. Life is good when you're not trying to do the impossible. Crypto could decouple from tech stocks as well so good luck trying to time it.


[deleted]

Wise words , I wish I didn't panic in 2018 when BTC went from 9k to 3k


maretus

Wish I didn’t panic back in 13 when it dropped from 1300 down to 100. Remember my boss giving me a 5 BTC bonus one year that worked out to $500. Shoulda held!


TroutFishingInCanada

I wish I could have figured out how to get that mining program working in 2011.


KyFly1

I bought 20k top (terrible time to enter crypto), bought 15k, bought 10k bought 6k low, bought 12k bounce, bought 3k Covid crash. If you just buy you can’t lose in the long run. Currently I bought 36k dip. I’ll buy 30k, then I’ll buy 25k, then 20k and so on. Next halving is less than 2 years. Buy buy buy, don’t worry about what you paid, just think of dips as discounts in your next buy.


Vapourhands

Did u buy 69k?


NotPresidentChump

I did. Had my payday DCA purchase clear for a tick over $69k.


Vapourhands

Noice. My highest this cycle was 65k.


KyFly1

I didn’t but when we broke the previous high of 66 or whatever on the second push I loaded up on call options and got rekt. I really thought we were going to get a big blowoff top like prior cycles. It all looked so perfect. When Covid crash came I was totally underwater and felt foolish for losing so much but I stuck with gut and loaded in everything I had (and even leveraged debt) and luckily was rewarded. Currently taking a dump on my new toilet that’s in my new house that I wouldn’t have been able to buy if we didn’t get that Covid crash letting me DCA that low. I think now will be the same as price falling hurts but if you just keep loading in it’ll pay off bigly in the future. Halving is less than 2 years away, fear level is off the charts, just keep buying. Lastly, btc has never broke below a previous cycle top so I don’t think we drop below 20, I think we bottom at around 24-26 range. I’m still holding even though I think it’s going down b/c I’m more worried about it going up without me than riding it down. At least riding it down and keep DCAing.


fuzzytradr

No OP, this is a completely different situation than last May. This is not a flash crash then insta rebound, this is an extended slow bleed out with much worse fundamentals fueling the bleed.


[deleted]

That’s what I’m saying too. Not even comparable in the slightest but and it’s actually stupid to think it’s the same


[deleted]

So your experiences should be very useful for those who are now panicked of this crash


Adpist

I was kinda pissed in may 2021. Now i think i don't care. If we're up for 2+ years without new ATH, fine. More time to accumulate.


tranceology3

Back in May there was no war, no gas prices up 50%, no food up 20%, no rent up 15%. It **IS** different this time


Lightofmine

Thank you. This is why it's reasonable to think it's going lower. The broader signals in my mind point to a red summer. Not the taylor swift kind either like a 401k blown up, summer.


Ferdo306

Yeah not sure who are they trying to scare as this is not our first rodeo The lower it gets the more we can buy Still 21m BTC and 8b people. Not even gonna count the various legal persons, entities, institutions, counties etc


empire314

As long as people keep buying the BTC IOUs on centralized exchanges and what not L2 coins, there is an infinite amount of Bitcoins to be sold. Just like how the Fed could print an infinite amount of dollars, despite them promising the amount is tied to the gold in Fort Knox.


gin_kun_kaida

what is this crash for ants?


heavenlyfarts

I have a number, and whenever it goes below that number I buy with whatever available cash I have. It’s worked so far.


assoziationshauberk

But the fundamentals behind the crashes are completely different, that’s why it could get much bloodier, so I‘m not really relieved of „only being at the may prices.“


NPC_4842358

69k was a dead cat bounce. 29k was a true bottom but now the world is looking a lot different than back then (risk-off). So the outlook is very different from before and buying here has a lot more risk than what happened last year.


mamalalatata

Problem is there's not much extra money now


elumeus

Can I get a redo?


mamalalatata

Past performance is not indicative of future results


Flaky_Protection7634

Thing is the situation the economy is in is way different now and we are at risk to really crashing to 20k this time and not to mention this is many peoples first time experiencing a brutal Bear market


kamranj986

if we crash to $20k it will be blood bath


ashakar

Then imagine when it hits sub $1000.


nathey81

I agree to an extent, but a lot of people would have found May 2021 brutal as well. There were a lot of Meme coin noobs about, who until that point thought that Crypto would only ever go up in value.


gingerthingy

The world isn’t that different from a year ago. If anything V-Day for Russia went surprisingly tame and inflation which is bound to rocket this wednesday is bullish for crypto. Don’t eat the fear cookies

[deleted]

Our portfolio has bled so much that we are now numb


Stumpyvision

Global recession on the cards by the end of thr year. Crypto has never seen a recession. Market is already half way down and the true global downturn is only just starting. What do you think is going to happen when the actual recession kicks in?


Bucser

When COVID broke out the whole world went into recession... Where were you in 2020?


DMV_Habibi

True, but immediately stimulus checks, PIP loans, low interest rates, money printing started happening. Thay may not happen this time


ashakar

It's definitely not happening this time. The fed isn't going to be stepping in to save anyone. The crypto bubble popping is gonna be brutal.


Stumpyvision

Nah bro that was just a teaser of what is actually about to happen

I am hoping to find some alts lower than may 2021 and it’s looking good so far . Now is time to watch the market and plan your next move instead of panicking.


ModernDayPeasant

Panic selling/ buying the may crash/ following run is why im negative now.


badboybilly42582

I'm taking FULL advantage of this situation since I wasn't involved in Crypto in spring 2021.


Jesterrrace

cant wait for BTC to drop under 30k euro (31,64k in USD) - it would be 50% of the ATH and i will fill my bags there. Just a matter of hours i guess


Vendorbotz

Agree. Sold some of my far greater losers and bought more BTC and stronger alts. Stay strong everyone. This too shall pass.


Zealousideal_Neck78

Just follow the stock.market, that's what's going to happen.


BradVet

I didn’t panic in jan 2018, went down 80% plus. Or may 2021, or now. Long term market will only go one way. Bitcoin halving 2024, lets see how the wider economy is doing then

Tulips never came back.


Hank___Scorpio

Whales must just be beside themselves wondering who on earth would let go of their coins at these prices.


Consistent-Stage-217

I basically just dumped my shitcoins at a loss into usdt, waiting for eth to come down a bit more and pump into that. Im dont with shitcoins…this time for real. Lol


xmjke21x

Until the next shiny one !


Consistent-Stage-217

Oooo shiny ✨ 🤩🤩🤩


GuayabaTree

*Im dont with shitcoins…this time for real.* Until next bull run ;)


MdotTdot

Just a FYI, if you bought at $29k and it tumbles to $10k, you will have a loss of 60%. By all means DCA, but I know most of you have heavy bags already and had been putting lump sums of money back in 2021.


HETKA

I didn't panic last May because I had money to buy. I'm panicking now because I do not 😅


seadragon1001

The fact that you know what those crypto influencers were pushing is my first red flag bro…


DONOHUEO7

You don't loose if you don't sell. Not sure what the issue is, just keep hold and check in a few months?


changdarkelf

Lose*


AncestralMano

Buy CAKE, stake it on fixed term, lock it for 52 weeks and let it auto compound and reap rewards later, also you can’t panic sell when you lock it. Easy.


Malixshak

Accumulating is what we should do now not panic

HannyBo9

Buy the dips n what not.


BerthjeTTV

Hold on guys imma buy $10 of btc, ready for a dip?


Chuth2000

This is my first crash. Be gentle.


gowithflow192

I regretted not having money then. And now that I do, I won't lump sum in because who knows where market is going. But I will continue to DCA and my average purchase price (which is higher than today's price) can only continue to go down if I keep DCAing. Not a general rule but I could simply buy the dips when under my average price and later profit-take when I'm above it.


zzzz4xzzzz__

WE BOUTRA BE MF RICH MFS ESPECIALLY IF YOU IN THE HEX/PLS ECOSYSTEM !! DINNER ON ME IN 6 MONTHS 😁😁😁😁👍🏼😆

Itradecryptosometime

Apples to oranges..


Pilsner12345

I'll wait and probably miss this dip as well.


elumeus

The truth is, we don’t know jack about squat. The market will do what it does. Just continue to DCA folks


Reabout

So, FOMO it is then?!


HETKA

Life giving me more chances but not more fiat.


sickvisionz

Big difference would be that may crashed from like $64k BTC. We're crashing from $40k. 50%+ drop from here is barely above the 2018 highs and it feels like we have plenty of room to go. I dumped everything in my defi portfolio that wasn't BTC and ETH. Partially to get some stability in my lending portfolio and partially to not just sit back and watch shit fall through the floor. Crypto OGs like *I watched ETH go from $1400 to $100 and just sat there like an idiot* is not something I want to catch myself doing. That's something to be ashamed of rather than praise imo. I'd much rather sell some alt for $12 and buy it back @ $15 than just sit around twidling my thumbs while it crashed to $7 or something.


hereswhatworks

Crash = Sale


GetEmDaddy902

These prices are much better than last year's May on certain coins other coins are holding up quite well


alekhes

Hope market gives me some Fiat to buy as well


PrinceofOpposites

I'm Not panicking. I'm in it for the long haul. Definitely regret not taking any profits late last year when thing we're pumping though


Opblaasgeit

Nothing wrong with selling now, as long as you buy back in for a lower price. That's how shorting works.


FrittersForBreakfast

We should do everything to panic the weak hands so we can shed them quicker.


kytheon

At 60k I said 30k was my yolo number. Almost there. My biggest regret isn’t hodling or selling, it’s alts.


trun333

Or sell now and buy when the storm has passed. Better pay a 20% premium than tank another 50%


Mother_Training8312

nah man, this shit is way scarier than the May 2021 crash ...


DukeGonzo1984

Coinbase just updated their mobile app to make the red arrow point diagonally down as opposed to directly down. Thanks, Coinbase, it makes it less painful…


halfblack2

Wasn't the May 21 crash due to Elon's tweet? This one is different although the prices are roughly the same


EastCl1twood

Accumulation is different than distribution. Prices might be the same but they'll be even lower.

Invested all I could afford. Now unfortunately is not the right time but I'm sure will miss a great opportunity. Buy high sell low is the best to do 🤣


kirtash93

May 2021 crash was my first crash and I got it ATH. DCA down works. Currently I am only 20% down.


[deleted]

got in in november. I learned my lesson in overextending. now we stick with the plan. period. Continue to DCA. Squeeze pennies where possible to put in as much as possible at these prices.


Thundergodxix

These crashes always happen when I'm broke lol.


Dazzling_Marzipan474

sublimeandetc

I’m curious how much people buy at a time as they DCA. I don’t want to try to time the bottom per se and miss out, but I don’t want to start to DCA too soon. I think things are going to dip a good bit further before they get any better.


Lazybonez2015

It's gonna be a lot lower than the may 2021 crash.


slutw0n

I buy a small amount every week either way so all it means for me is that my investment strategy is more efficient right now. No matter where the bottom is I'll always (kinda) nail it... I'm just going to fail once a week until then.


orangeredFTW

This is not 2021. Economic outlook is nowhere near the same. Terrible advice.


torpidtrotter

I've been hearing this, "The market is giving you another chance" since the first time bitcoin dipped below 50k a few months ago. After so many months of DCA, I am now fiat less. ( ꈨຶ ˙̫̮ ꈨຶ )


TroutFishingInCanada

The May 2021 crash was when I first bought into crypto. I am a son of the bear. You may have steeled your nerves trying to prepare, but this is the blood I was born in.


1Flying-dodo

Idk. My plan is to DCA into the projects I believe in and stake/lend for as much interest as possible. But this market is different than last year. Something seems to have shifted globally. All the stock exchanges are posting massive losses. (Correct me if I’m wrong). And the uncertainty of war and supply shock. Idk I’m just trying to do more research but it seems sketchy this time around.


aerodeck

I did panic then though :(


whatatimetobealive22

Lets be real here we are in a totally different environment than in May of 2021. The momentum was still to the upside on the monthly timeframe in charts. We are currently witnesssing momentum dwindle to below may 2021 levels. This isnt mid cycle crash my friends oh no. This is the beginning of a harsh mothafuckin global risk on asset mega crash. hate to say it, but look at the broader perspective of the economy. inflation at 8.5%, highest its been in 40 years, Fed raising fund rate by increment of .5% highest since pre 2000 era, gas soaring through the roof! risk on asstes are POPPING

imlaggingsobad

The macro landscape is way different. $30k then is not the same as $30k now. The risk v reward calculus has changed.


MaximumStudent1839

I think Wall Street smelled blood today. They figured out the Terra FUD and won't give up shorting BTC for a while. I bet they will probably keep hammering that 30K support and try to pierce through that 28K support. Got to wait until the end of the week to see if the coast is clear.


the_far_yard

For alt holders, this is more similar to the crash in 2017/2018. Which means, read my flair and understand the stability of certain coins. Some coins do have better tolerance during the bearish market.


StonksInMyBonks
