Crypto is being attacked from all sides, especially by the media. Everyone has an agenda, mostly for personal gain. Many of the new people brought into crypto over the past few months are losing a lot of money, while the old crypto dogs are capitalising from the panic and taking their cut-price coins...happily. It will be a year of change, regulation etc, but that will also be good for us in the long term. It really is the wild west at the moment, scams, hacks and too much volatility. I am tired of the papers and their sensationalism, blowing things out of proportion.
I am sure that BTC will stabilise after this shakeout and the alt market will rise with it. We just have to be patient.
Lesson History for Bitcoin Crashes
Bitcoin has spectacularly 'died' several times
📉 - 94% June-November 2011 from $32 to $2 because of MtGox hack
📉 - 36% June 2012 from $7 to $4 Linod hack

📉 - 55% January 2018 Bitcoin ban FUD. from $19000 to 8500
I've held through all the crashes. Who's laughing now? Not the panic sellers.
Market is all about moving money from impatient to the patient. You see crash, I see opportunity.
You - OMG Bitcoin is crashing, I gotta sell!
Me - OMG Bitcoin is criminally undervalued, I gotta buy!
N.B. Word to the wise for new investors. What I've learned over 7 years is that whenever it crashes spectacularly, the bounce is twice as impactful and record-setting. I can't predict the bottom but I can assure you that it WILL hit 19k and go further beyond, as hard as it may be for a lot of folks to believe right at this moment if you haven't been through it before.
When Bitcoin was at ATH little over a month ago, people were saying, 'it's too pricey now, I can't buy'.
Well, here's your chance at almost 60% discount!
With growing main net adoption of LN, Bitcoin underlying value is greater than it was when it was valued 19k.
