Yes, that is right, it's really stinky out there, but that also means it's likely the best time to buy!
For this post I will talk mostly about bitcoin, but you could probably apply the same logic to any of the top 30 cryptocurrencies.
Did you know that bitcoin has died 937 times already?
Ok, that is mostly hyperbole, but you get my point, right?
The price has tanked from all time highs many times only to come roaring back and go on to make new highs. In fact it has happened every single time.
More of the same?
This big price drop isn't something that is all that unusual, in fact if we pull some data from just the past 2 years alone we might be able to find some pretty similar price action.
Looking back at the past 2 years (since 2016), we can see that bitcoin has had 5 similar drops and then subsequent recoveries.
Let that sink in a bit, bitcoin has had something similar to this happen 5 times just in the past 2 years.
In each case bitcoin dropped by 50% (or more) from it's recent high and then rallied within the next 3 months.
Specifically, if you look at the data, bitcoin rallied 150% from those lows over the coming 84 days (on average).
Which means...
The price has more than doubled after being cut in half from recent highs, and it has done so in less than 3 months time frame.
That's great, but what does that imply will happen this time?
If, and this is a big if, because we can't know for sure...
But, if we apply that same price action to the current situation we could see bitcoin trading back up near $20k by the beginning of May!
There is no guarantee that will happen again this time, but given the recent history of bitcoin after it has had drops like this, the risk vs. reward seems to make sense starting to put money to work here.
Now that we have that cleared up and we are in, we just have to close our eyes till May!

Ha ha ha!!! @africaunited, you amuse me. For me, Bitcoin seems to be the proverbial cat that has nine lives, no matter what you do to kill it, it always find a way to bounce back to life. Bitcoin is sure to launch a comeback.

Past performance doesn't guarantee future results. But that being said I still think it's a good idea to buy the dip.

Bitcoin does seem to snap back, just when things start to settle down we should see it soon enough.

same thoughts i put in my latest post. @arliin this might be the answer to your question. buy now but buy with what you can afford to lose. and i think you can "afford" to lose some sbd knowing you didnt invest a huge currency on it. just my opinion. and again as @steemining said, "buy low, sell high" . if the forecast will happen,then buy now and sell on May. happy shopping.

It's the perfect time to buy right now, all the coins have dropped in value lately leaving some good opportunities to buy in. The prices will almost certainly rise again as the year progresses,thanks for sharing.

I've been here a couple months and the insincerity is the first thing that stood out. There are people who share thoughtful comments and you can tell they're just trying to get a vote, but at least they put some time and effort into what they're saying.
The group that bugs me are basically e-beggars with lazy, low-effort "thank you for posting"-type content. It's like chicks fishing for compliments and attention on Insta, but instead of putting SOME work into a cute photo they just snap a pic of themselves laying in bed, messed up hair and face pushed back showing off the double chin.
