Don't buy while the market is crashing. Why try to catch a falling knife?

Until you are confident that the bottom has been put in, sit on your hands and do nothing. And if you can't do that then go ahead and masturbate with one of your free hands - assuming you cant trade at the same time with your free hand.

BTC might be going as low as $2K. Could be $1K.

Be patient.

They buying opportunities will still be there in the future.

If you try to catch a falling knife and fail, you could be damaging your capital in a major way

The best time for buying is when you see everything red. Even if it is going towards 3K or 2K it will rebound.

GREAT DUDE HEHE

but... @haejin told me to buy he showed me a chart and everything ;(

Honestly I have done my own research and think now it the perfect time to start cost averaging as I can buy back what I sold at a massive discount :D

You got a point. It's better to get more alt coin now I think .

Well, I don't know if that's the best way either, because BTC drives the market. I mean, I bought some alts at ridiculous prices (in comparison to ATH) but still, if BTC goes to 5k, the alts will bleed massively. And thats a good thing, the shitcoins will disapear, or at least people will be looking better into them before buying them.

Bitcoin has driven the market for cryptos so far. But we've seen bitcoin's dominance dwindle and the altcoins are getting more attention and looking more and more attractive now that some people have transacted in bitcoin ($10 fee and 2 hour transaction times).
I'm thinking this crash will mark the separation of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency. Would love to hear your thoughts

Do you mean separation of Bitcoin and Crypto, or Bitcoin and Altcoins?

I could imagine both.

You know, I see bitcoin as if it was your lifelong wife. (Dont stop reading, it looks ridiculous but give me a chance to explain).

You meet the girl. She is AWESOME, the best, the future, you will die for her.(getting to know BTC)
You marry her, life is getting even better, fresh married life..great! (Your first profits)
The marriage stars getting dull, boring, you start looking at other girls. (You realize that BTC is not so great after all, so many altcoins, so much better, millions tx/s...hmm...maybe...)
When you have a moment of clarity and overcome the bad times in the marriage....you realize the value of that woman and of that relationship, and that there is nothing that compares to it, no matter how shiny they seem.

I dont know why, but I have a feeling that bitcoin is going to be massive. Maybe not as a currency, but eventually as many other things.

People talk about being the digital Gold. I agree. But I also agree that it can be the digital EVERYTHING of our world. I´m not very technical on blockchain, but if you can have some sidechains, attach other chains, forks, etc...bitcoin could host everything.

I imagine some chain that has a utility, and from time to time it inserts its state in the bitcoin chain. You dont overload the mainchain, but you "register" some state from time to time. Example: IDs. You have a chain recording IDs for people, a chain by itself secure, but not as Bitcoin. You could every hour/day/week keep updating your state to BTC. If something happened in your chain you could do a reliable fork from the BTC transaction.

I dont know, maybe Im getting ahead of myself.

The question remains​, will we use crypto as currency? (I strongly believe and hope so). If yes, which one, how, how many...etc.

I would rather buy in a bearish market than in a bull market. Most of the people who bought Bitcoin at 18k lost a lot of money. Right now I just think that the market is waiting for a trigger to get back up and when this will happen there will be a lot of FOMO. but this is just my humble opinion :)

absolute right point, we have to wait

You are totally right. It is normal strategy to buy alts when BTC is going down but only when you are sure about the BTC support levels. Where are the support levels now? In last few days every support in which I believe was broken.

blood.jpg
Totally with you! I just but some fresh money into LTC and BTC as well as Lisk as I believed it was the bottom. BAM! Again 20% down. I am waiting now to see a continuous trend upwards, signs are not yet there.

An if I miss out 20% up for some days I don't care. Got enough to "win" with my current portfolio.

Once markets stabilise and I am out of the red I will start trading I assume.

All, be strong and think twice before following the "buy now" calls. Thanks for wakeup call @davebrewer

where do you see steem going relative to bitcoin in the distant future? (1 year ish) just curious

You are absolutely right,one should have patience

Buying more NEO, yes I love NEO...hopefully the price remains low so I can pick up some more.

i got into NEO when it was Antshares on ICO... it was doing nothign for sooo long time!

I got it at $0.26 and it's been doing a lot:)

Well I think it's better to wait because BTC is falling every minute now. In my opinion it's better to wait until it reaches the minimal drop. I think it better to go for Etherium or litecoin.

Likewise dear.

Litecoin has a lot of potential as well as DASH

hodl hodl hodl

Fomo-ing Neo right now

Got some recently. Maybe i should get more

good choice.

Yep buy NEO

I was thinking the same I lone NEO !

Love that GAS dividend. Brilliant. Should be able to live off of it in 1-5 years.

I just picked up some more steem! What a crazy ride, the market is really putting us to the test right now. Common bitcoin pick yourself off the ground!

nice one! keep it up!

I have just raised my BTC, EOS, NEO, TRX, COSS and BCO holdings.
Who dares wins :-)

I think the top 50 coins are going to recover well when the market reverses, is important to pick good projects because the market is becoming more smarter and projects without any use case and is just a money grabber will probably not be here in 1 year.
Thanks for sharing

I'm too scared to buy anymore, but I'm HODLing and using bounties and airdrops to get in on some new projects on a small scale.

Thanks Dave (I know you aren't actually wishing me good luck :-)). I put in a small amount of money as a long-term investment. I don't know enough, nor have enough time or money to daytrade, so I'm buying what I can afford to lose and keeping that money invested instead of freaking out every time the market dives. It's the same as any investment I make, whether in stocks, ETFs, etc.

This is a good way to pass time. Everyone loves airdrops! Where do you find them?

AirdropAlert. I've used this just over the past week or so--pretty solid.

Is there a link to that? I did well out of Bitcoin White bounty, and now kicking myself for not finding at least 1-2 week and just hodling them in a spreadsheet.
I just found this Telegram group ... Same thing? https://t.me/AirdropAlert

https://airdropalert.com/

Still look into them before joining. Not all are worth it, but most don't require more than signing up for their Telegram account.

EOS has some projects airdropping to token holders, which is a pretty sweet deal

Yes! Been stocking up a little on EOS. End of Feb for the airdrop I believe.

I am too scared to even look at the prices!!

No need to be scared. Stop looking at it and on Christmas Day you will have the best Christmas give you ever imagined. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to see BTC above $40,000. Honestly. It's going to be awesome.

Yeah, same here. I am avoiding my Blockfolio app at all costs.

I had a look - woah your not wrong!!

Hahahaha, yeah. I just don't want to know since I'm investing for the long-term.

dont be scared :)

I don't run from the dips anymore (still a newbie - 1.5 months in), but I have a hard time giving them a hug just yet :-)

I'm right there with ya, entered in december and was feeling good through most of january til now...

Haha, yeah!

Small scale here also. Scared to death of buying the big boy coins and how crazy it is. Talking about Airdrops, i'm giving away a few of my own coins from a new project I have been supporting the past month or so. Details in this post https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@spammy/my-first-cryptocoin-plus-free-coin-giveaway

Thanks, checking out now.

It depends how much fiat you have. It’s difficult to sit on a load of fiat when the market is increasing so much (like it did before Xmas), so I doubt many crypto investors have stacks of fiat to invest with!

Zclassic right before the Bitcoin Private Hard Fork

Instead of overshilling I will just say if you make trades based on psychology and timing make sure you do your homework first

Litecoin and Etherium always a top choice, I like EOS It is right up there with them.
There are a few other alt coins and of coarse steem, which is a really great buy, but with Bitcoin coming down, I think I will jump on more bitcoin a little at a time and some alt coin, being Litecoin Etherium and EOS.
Maybe even some bitcoin cash, it’s come down to where it was before it went crazy, so I believe it will go higher again, pick what you like and buy what you can afford and enjoy the ride!
Again Iwill focus more on Bitcoin, only 16 million makes me want part of that pie.

LTC is my <3

EXCL on Trex

oh yeah i love masternode coins, having this one!

ETH is my favorite bet longterm.

I'm also buying up EOS, NEO, and IOTA.

For high-risk high-potential-return I like IOSToken right now. It has it all: hype, volume, super low market cap, and it's a full blockchain platform (not just a service that runs on one).

I don't know if this is considered spam or not, but I just finished my first SteemIt post and it's a slightly stoney theory about big banks possibly pushing this crash lower than the market action alone. If anyone is interested, check it out at https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@leeforder/crypto-thoughts-1-big-banks-deliberately-worsening-cryptocurrency-crash-to-create-buying-opportunity.

Thanks everyone who's been sharing their thoughts on coins here. I'm reading this entire comment section. Always something to learn.

Right now, most people are probably confused & thinking, "WTF?!?!" If you have a lot of money invested and you're losing a lot, the best thing (I think) to do, right now, is HODL. Patience through these hiccups will end up paying off in the long term because crypto is definitely an idea whose time has come. Volatility in the PetroDollar has been expected for a long time and is, in fact, overdue. While the dollar & the stock markets go through their chaos, many more people are now going to be looking for a "safe haven." Crypto is here to move finances & money into the future and it's not going to go anywhere. I would not be surprised to see BitCoin and many of the other major coins go screaming upwards very soon. As the old FIAT systems prove, once again, they are failed experiments - blockchain technology, while still flawed and cumbersome to use, is going to seize this opportunity to shine. Stand fast.

And, if you do have the ability to invest into some more - or some new - cryptos, they are all on sale right now. I think big profits are coming in cryptos this year - even bigger and better than we had in 2017.

in no particular order, these coins will surely come out of this bear market stronger than before:

Neo/Gas, Dash, Ethereum Classic, Zcash, Litecoin, Stellar, Monero, OmiseGo, Factom, and of course, Bitcoin.

it would be wise to wait and see the announcement from US regulators as well. and probably what they find out about Teether scam. Bitcoin could go lower than 5K for sure

Ugh, I have no extra cash to spend and it sucks!

C53B6105-144A-4E43-AF11-1AA4905F2886.jpeg

It always the case for me so sad

:(

Picking up COSS, NEO and a bit of PRL. COSS and PRL are my Moon missions while I feel like NEO is a solid pick.

Selling 5% of my BTC at $6500 and hoping to buy back at $5500 :)

You'll be sorry! BTC may have a little bit more downside, but the upside is incredible. Then you will be buying higher wishing you hadn't of sold. Just hold and you will be thanking yourself for years to come.

BTC looks like it is severely over-sold right now. I wouldn't mind a little more drop though. I'd love some more cheaper BTC

if the 5k support breaks though ... we could be in for it...

risky but with 5%... can pay off ;)

Right now feel spoiled for choice, yet SBD is holding up around $3 i'm thinking to use a bit and load up just about anything really and wait for the bounce! Apart from Bitcoin. I think that could stay down.

If you're so good at picking coins why are you not on vacation and still on steemit?

so if i made money i shouldnt help others ? shows what kind of person u are.

Oh, I had no idea your membership was free to the world, I thought you were selling some scam type information program.

@kingscrown I think PLR since they will have a NEW Crypto Wallet that will make it easier for the masses to get involved in Crypto...............

i do have some, will check if i can pick up moar :)

I got to be honest this is a huge test. A test for all the newbies that got into crypto when the prices were skyrocketing. Its not all roses and green grass, this crash was needed. It will weed out the weak from the strong. I bought more XLM, TRX, XRP, BTC, ETH and PAC. This is a sale of all sales. If people are new to crypto or thought they missed the boat here's their chance. Strike while the iron is "red" hot!

PAC is most ricky of your choices but we will see :)

Oh very much so! But high risk means high reward. I bought a few million when it was 0.00001 The team has really been turning it around. They have an awesome white paper and road map. They are doing a coin burn at the moment for 1000 to 1 ratio. That right there will increase pacs value. After the coin burn ill have close to a 800,000 and I know pac will hit a dollar. We broke cryptopia b/c of our high traffic volume. This is a HODL

I ain't buying anything.Crash is not over yet.Im watching bitshares,big sell on bitCNY market.One order of 125 million BTS (Around 3500 BTC),many smaller sell orders,of 1 million,500,000..whales are selling their BTS!

Steem! And then powering up!

No time for the fear, there are deals to be had LOL

Who knows, it can all crash and burn. I think it may go down further but regardless, I believe in this community and the tech behind it...So I'm Steem / Steemit for the long run :)

STEEM looks good here but who knows :)))

ha ha ha ain't that the truth!

I would agree that Steem is a great project and has a big potential! Compared to the other projects Steem is one of the only ones that has a running product! Never forget about that! :)

At the moment, a little too jumpy to get into much of anything, aside from continued support for Steem. Also looking at edging into BTS... with some uncertainty on the table, I like the idea of buying something that has an authentic "economic reason" for being... Steem has Steemit and a bunch of apps and soon SMTs. Bitshares... well, that speaks for itself. Too many coins out there are just a white paper that used the word "blockchain" 43 times.

BTS STEEM EOS.. seem all good projects

I've leased out the bulk of my Steem Power through Minnow Booster, so in a sense I'm buying STEEM. That's what Minnow Booster pays in.

yeah thats also a way of buying stuff by not dumping but multiplying ;)

I am going heavy on a few alt coins for value, potential unknown like everything in life - TRX, NYC & SIA All have interesting and diverse stories..

NAS- google for blockchain. There will one day be millions of blockchains, according to the CEO of Binance in his recent Korean conference presentation. NAS is building the algorithms to do to blockchain what google did for the internet!

i have no NAS, will check it

BTC is falling but i think it will fight back soon.
But ass most people i will bet for Neo.

I think it's good to buy DOGE now haha

Shopping list includes:

  • NEO
  • LTC
  • EOS

I recently got some Dragonchain and EOS.

DRGD i still have since ICO, Disney on it.. loving it!

Status was the fastest riser on the last bounce and their platform is set to launch, looks very cool. I expect ADA to make some big moves soon.

SNT is taking so long to pump but it has to at some point. ADA is said to be japanese ETH.. we will see :)

As always, believe in the coin you believed in and HODL it FIRM & STRONG!!!

ETH went from $14.00 to $1400 in 12 months, how can you determine true value based on that, time will tell I guess.

true.

I have been scaling into BTS...been loading up on that...too hard to resist.

good call i also hodl em!

I bought BTC,ETH,XRP, but now they look terrible.

give them some breath ;) esp the first two

I’m buying granola bars... with chocolate chips. Hodling coffee and energy drinks.

Bitcoin is dead, looking forward to buy NEO, GAS, ICX, NAS, NEM, EOS, IOTA AND XLM

I'll most likely be buying more EOS. The community is infectious, it hits most (if not more) of its milestones, and Dan is ahead of his time - all great signs for the coin. The only potential downside is knocking out a giant like Ethereum, however it has been in the #9 spot.

I did some quick calculations last week while sitting in my Physiology lecture, and for EOS to reach BTC's market cap at the time of calculations, EOS (with its circulating supply) would have to hit around $249 per coin. If EOS can be successful in all its promises, I don't see why it couldn't hit at least twenty dollars - which, if you were to buy now, would be a nice profit!

Pretty difficult to predict at this time. The volatility of the market is just too heavy. However, I remain with my sweet SBD.

Right now I think that any solid (emphasis on solid) Coin is ok. However the challenge is to determine the lowest low.

Me personally, I bought some more at mcap ~520 bill. Planning to add more, buy not sure when...

Holding BTC, ETH and IOTA (no buying at the moment)

why IOTA?

I believe in tangled technology

Bitshares at .17
I mean......

Hold on, I just need to figure out how to create a scam coin and I'll let you know so people can give me money invest.

The Man with No Name ... but Clearly with a Lot of Brains. Well done :))

I just hope that the market stabilizes as soon as possible, that it will be a prosperous and growing year for cryptocurrencies

It's too early to jump in with both feet to buy and hold, however if you have the time and money to watch the moves, there are plenty of opportunities to make some decent coin on those moves on a daily basis. Just watch the Volume and RSI of ETH or LTC and make your buys and sales.

Nothing. I'm not reach enough to buy cheap coins.

This is best time to buy. Buy dip and sell high. Keep buying and keep waiting for the market to bounce back.

I hope some day to be honored with your help

Vericoin and Verium are great coins to buy now. Nice project and serious team behind!

I like to see your bitcoin post & thanks to share this current report with us.

I would love to get my hands on some Neo right now.

How about buying some SHT and Crap Coins...LOL Just Kidding.
Puttin my shopping list together, but EOS is on it.

Hello kingscrown,

I am new to Steemit and saw your article. It was a great article talking about Neo. I am new to cryptocurrencies, but I will consider Neo. Thanks for the post.

Please checkout my first post @steemitforce

May the steemitforce be with you.

Keep steeming ahead,

@steemitforce

waiting and watching the fall. All I see in the very near future is whiplash..Where is the bottom of this pit

Have been buying Bitshares (BTS) ; if tether or some of the centralized exchanges fail; people will go to a more stable decentralized exchange to trade or use bitUSD.

News that can make everyone change

Hello

I'm going to probably try and get some Bitcoin and LTC this week hopefully at the legit bottom, finally.

I’m terrified to drop a cent into anything I’m only new to the crypto game and this has really scared me off!!

I'm still buying NEO. I hope the price will remain low for a long time. For me, this is the best option for buying coins.

I have so much faith in ripple, so am putting my money it. It will skyrocket soon as it joins the big market

Suggest to pick some ATL,and HOLD (interstellar) to stake it.

Bought a new token with great prospects. Elyte . It's details is in d bottom of my posts
Also got some steem and EOS

Definitely going to try to buy some Bitcoin, or Ethereum, but have a close eye on Neo

Weak hands and FUD is never a good combination. If someone doesn't understand the technology of the coin that they are investing in, they should get out of crypto RIGHT AWAY. To quote a Redditor that goes by the name Sendmybar:

When you panic sell at times like this you are offloading your crypto to people who are very aware that the market will swing back up. Institutional money was never going to jump into crypto at the ATH and make all is little guys rich in the process, that not what they do.

Just keep calm, and HODL. We're in this for the long run, not for short-term "Lambo/Moon" gains.

Furthermore, the SEC has good news for cryptocurrency traders - they support cryptocurrencies! Feel free to check out the article that I wrote about it here:

What of buying SBD from people willing to sell?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I am holding BTC right now and will start buying around the 5000 mark. I think this might be a market correction and might go down to maybe the high 4500 mark. What are your thoughts on this? 💭🤔

I totally agree that hit 2000 is a real possibility.

if it goes so low.. loads of people will cry!

I had just sold some of my LTC for BAT. I'm holding out hope that it makes at least a bit of an upward spike when Bitcoin bounces back o-o

I'd invest in more and be patient, but money's kind of a thing you need to survive and stuff >.> And the emergency fund is looking kind of dry...

Giving up Crypto for the Chocolate gold coins get at easter there so yummy and i have munchies!!!

I am buying MinexCoin and Electroneum.

First MinexCoin is a pretty new to the market but it has an unique system with POS and POW. I believe this coin will get its 5 minutes in the spotlight.

Electroneums price like every other coin has dropped to 5 cents making it very desirable to buy at this moment. Also a new coin with a interesting future.

Hahahahahaha! That's Brilliant :)))

They are all cheap right now, chose your favourite and fill dem bags!

No-brainer: STEEM and ETH.

People will certainly still be edgy about buying any coin I guess

DON'T PANICSELL!!!!

I simply recommend that all shaky hands do nothing while we are going through the Elliot wave on the supposedly sinking ship. Wait until the market has stabilised and then buy back if necessary. Don't sell your "losses"! You'll be happy when the prices start to rise again.

Personally, I'll do some shopping at the lowest point. I will orientate myself on good, renowned projects

STEEM, ETH, BTC, PAY, NEO, IOTA, DASH, PRE, SEND, OMG, SUB, to name but a few of my coins.

Remain strong!

Great information. Loved your article.

Did you read this one?
https://steemit.com/blockchain/@lcbisu/blockchain-graveyard

Oke, thankyou information .
I like it your post .
Very nice

It's such a good time for using that cash balance, personally I disagree on the waiting front, if you believe in a coin and feel the price is too good to be missed why not at least ladder some buys in? It's hard to predict where the bottom is but I feel at least hopeful that we'll see good resistance at $6k for BTC, obviously the rest will follow as usual!

Another one for some NEO, it was doing very well and is strong and feel its got a way to go. I also got some more Lumens. I've been holding Lumens for a while and like their progress. I have just been buying small amounts of crypto on the way down and cant believe why people are selling at these prices. All in all i'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing and am trying to keep emotion out of it (although as a whole the crypto space is so easily manipulated by fud, gov and institutional money, hoping it becomes more robust) .

I've got some LTC as I believe in LitePay.
I may get some ETH - as a platform coin it cannot really go wrong.
other than that I am gonna get standard XLM + ADA package :)

Looking at Iota and Xtrabytes. Good projects just starting out their journey.

I list a few more with potential considering the developments they have in my latest post, as well as reiterating that when there's bllod on the street, its time to buy, and trust in the future potential of the cryptosphere!

Hi man good post i upvoted it! i follow you maybe you can follow me back.

I´m not doing anything right now... what I have invested is going down and the opportunities to buy are here, but I love to be greedy so I´m going to wait for prices even cheaper!

Then I´ll invest in coins like: ICX, WABI, OST, AION, NAS, POWR, TEL, ZRX, BRD, NEO, EOS and some ETH of course.
This way I get a big amount of coins on my portfolio for cheap, and its all projects that I like with a lot of potential to make 10X+ this year!

Lisk rebranding 20 feb. Icx release a whole bunch of good news and still doesnt have a krw pairing yet price tanks from $10 to $2.50 LOADING UP!!! lastly risky but good chance of longterm profit internet node token if they even make a small dent in the marketcap they are aiming for....

There are a lot of alt coins on sale.

Nice point
@fenmark upvote me pls

Guys, one might consider trying new things in this kind of market.
If you have ethereum, its still has great value in cryptogaming.
One ethereum can be traded for 1.5 ethereum. Only the US$ value changes, not the amount of ethereum you have or get.

Waiting for A bottom to be established! Prices keep falling, be patient and wait for the recovery. Will be adding some of the alts that have been HAMMERED !

UPVOTES

$3 for steem and bitcoin at $6000. Both look like amazing deals.

Interesting. Well I bought last month Tron and Ripple. hahaha and it's crashing I know but I still hope it'll pump the soonest.

I'd buy shares

Hi!
The coins are relatively cheap, I will still wait until the support levels will become real and confirmed from more sources, then I go to hunt some coins. It does not matter if I get them for a bit more expensive price, but I will definitely go for my favorites, to have more, or to have a new entry in my portfolio.

I wanted to buy an BTC but no longer...
I am scared about it as it is a huge amount for me.
Reply me for what should I do

Honestly I am still waiting it out I have a feeling all tonight and tomorrow will be a blood bath as well. I'm looking for a bottom on bitcoin around $4,000 to $4,500 that will be my buy in signal for any crypto.

I have bought steem today an powered up immediately...
