BTC and ETH dipping - DO I BUY!??!

2 minutes ago, Toty said:

I stopped trying to guess. I'm on a weekly DCA - Warren Buffett style. Hoping for the best long term.

I take a manual DVA approach and buy the dip among the handful of funds and now crypto that I think has long term value.. but I've been accumulating some cash, nibbling at crypto and funds since the September crash of BTC and ETH but waiting for a big drop on something good.

Looking at the charts, I would guess there is more room to go down over the next couple of days. But I'm not a technical analyst. I just understand marginal production.

honestly, that's my feeling as well. I think it's gonna drop closer to 8%.

you may think you understand it, but your definition still defies your explanation. it's not my fault you don't english as well as Vikas.

Just now, Toty said:

you may have the better approach, I'm just too squeamish for market timing

I have 4 cryptos: BTC (50%), with ETH, Cosmos, and Solana making up the rest.

I think Solana might have the biggest upside potential of the group - not in terms of total value but in ROI - because the BTC and ETH trains may have already sailed

famous last words...

I mostly have BTC and ETH at 50/50. though I have a small amount in HEX because I wanted to try grabbing a more difficult to buy bit of crypto "early".

I rather expect to lose 100% of HEX though.

Get rid of Hex and buy Sol. Sam backs Sol, just follow the money.

The close at 7pm will tell us a lot. Do we see a run up in next few hours or not.

Hasn't exactly pumped after hitting bottom.

I bought Solana because it currently seems to be a faster alternative to ETH.

We'll see how the ethereum update goes

And ETH fees need to get fixed or it will fall after this cycle and never recover. Avalanche, One, Sol and maybe FTM are all better L1 right now because of the fees

But this is the problem with crypto as a "meat world” currency... ETH has dropped 7% in the last 24 hours. Unless you specifically want crypto, it’s just too much risk to take on for large payments IMO.

Anyone willing to accept ETH knows the ebbs and flows of its price.

I don't expect that to happen, but that's a good mentality to have. 

As the PulseChain launch and subsequent HEX fork gets closer, I expect the price to rise because users who hold through the fork will get that same amount of HEX on PulseChain's network

So if you have 1000 HEX, you'll still have that on Ethereum, and then you'll have 1000 HEX on PulseChain too

I pay attention to the community, pretty much everyone in HEX is going to be in PulseChain as well

Ethereum is where the overwhelming majority of the developers are at. I'd expect Ethereum 2.0 at this point to launch and work just fine

I got in etherium at just over 2900 about 2 months ago.  Rode it up to like 4800, abs just picked up more yesterday afternoon at 3995.

I'm going to start stocking up on Solana next.

I'll go ahead and follow the money and a higher return. 

Sam Bankman-Fried, the 29-year-old who heads the FTX exchange, said he believes solana is better than ethereum, as it's one of the few blockchains with a plan to accommodate mass adoption. 

Bankman-Fried has a net worth of $22.5 billion thanks to his crypto business, which makes him the youngest person to enter the Forbes 400 after Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg.

He spoke at Yahoo Finance and Decrypt's Crypto Goes Mainstream conference on Tuesday about how the biggest upside of the solana network is its ability to handle an enormous number of users and transactions. 

Solana is a decentralized-finance peer-to-peer network that many have billed as an "ethereum killer" based on its quicker transaction speed and lower fees when compared to its larger rival.

I don't hate Solana at all. It works and is probably gonna make people money and I'm not against anyone investing in it unlike trash like Cardano, Ripple or meme coins. But arguing it's faster and that's where the money is are really poor arguments 

Solana seems more like a company than a crypto. Which might be fine for many use cases that really don't require any actual level of censorship resistance

But again, the actual money is in Ethereum and Ethereum is significantly more decentralized

To date, it still doesn't have a single application. It hasn't even been able to implement smart contracts. That one is truly an idea rather than a working product. Maybe that will change eventually but there's better opportunities right now

Many of the big investors I respect don't touch it either

Interesting since I constantly see people suggesting it. What are the best opportunities out there? I think it's about time to join you guys. Could have had bitcoin at 5k instead of making fun of its dip.

My favorites are Bitcoin and Ethereum still. To me, they are still very very clearly the most likely to succeed.

Solana is interesting and works.

RUNE is a brilliant idea that still needs time to figure it out but could provide big upside.

HEX as a smaller cap play I think is great, its protocol which is basically Proof of Stake Bitcoin is a good idea.

And PulseChain when it launches has  the most likely chance out of everything I mentioned to 100x still
