People are always complaining about missing the boat but then are afraid to jump in when a correction takes place lol.

This is a great buying opportunity. Corrections are normal doing bull cycles....

Is it a correction though? Elon went off the deep end with this thing. Granted crypto market was declining with inflation fears (so much for it being a hedge against inflation). It is alarming how one guy can send the whole crypto market into a frenzy up or down which makes me question the validity of all this. China is "going after" crypto mining; Binance being investigated and so forth. BNN also had guests saying this thing will be roughly 100,000 by end of year, and others saying that BTC has been around for over a decade now and that if there was any real validity behind it, it would already be much bigger player in commerce and banking than it is right now, and that down the road there will be other technologies and cryptos that will supersede BTC and even ETH in practicality, efficiency, and so forth.

Bought 300 ebit at $18.60.  Sold 200 Ebit at $17.60. lol Now that's what you call dipping your toe in the water.

So essentially at a loss.. 

 

I think most people don't understand that crypto is essentially a long term investment, and what mean by that is at least 5- 10 yrs or more. 

 

Never sell at a loss unless you have no choice.

Well... I still have my 100 shares. If it rises 10% from here I will be back in black.

A while back we were talking about how secure Bitcoin wallets were.

 

Apparently, the US Justice Department has recovered some of the ransom paid after the Colonial Pipeline cyber attack.  Article here:

 

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/07/us/politics/colonial-pipeline-ransom-justice-department.html

 

The part of the article that caught my eye was this:

 

"The seizure on Monday marked a first-of-its-kind effort by a new Justice Department task force to hijack a cybercriminal group’s profits through a hack of its Bitcoin wallet. The Justice Department said that it had seized 63.7 Bitcoins, currently valued at about $2.3 million. (The value of a Bitcoin has dropped over the past month.)"

 

If so, and if the Justice Department can do it, how long before other groups figure out how to do it?

 

Again, how secure are Bitcoin wallets?

The fact that Elon musk has stated that doge coin is a better project than btc/eth, makes me think humankind is a bunch of dummy’s willing to believe the word of a man who knows nothing of crypto other than to make his pockets more deep.

 

doge has no project, no road map, nothing!!!!!!!!   And I hate him for making the market crash like this. 
why do people believe celebrity’s????   It’s like if someone told me sprite was great, would I go out and buy it and drink only sprite????  Hell no.

I'm done with crypto. If one man can have such sway over the market then it's a &^@#ing joke.

Technically, they do the same with stocks as well.   Gme and amc perfect examples of that.

plus the blatant lock down on every exchange!   Banks included.  At one point I couldn’t sell amc!  I wasn’t allowed too.  
 

technically, even though I can’t stand his tweets, who’s fault is it?   People flock to his every word and listen.  I wish people will just do what they feel is right by doing their own research!
