I see a lot of people freaking out about the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and why wouldn’t they, looking at the redness of coinmarketcap can be a scary feeling.
However, I wanted to put things into perspective and give a word of advice that can hopefully help you remain calm:
- This time last year the price of Bitcoin was 737 USD, which means we are still 1662% up!
- Nothing goes up forever, every asset must go down from time to time, its call profit taking and its healthy.
- Bitcoin is still a scarce asset; price will tend to go up in the long term.
- People spend a lot of money during the holidays, which means they need to sell their cryptocurrencies.
- Everybody wants to buy the dip, but they tend to panic when the dip finally arrives. In other words, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO BUY!
But most importantly, if you believe in the technology behind cryptocurrencies and what it can do to change the world, the price is irrelevant.
This is exactly what I have in mind , positivity . Buy buy buy should be right now to all of the red marks . What goes up always comes down . LTC was just $350 yesterday and came down about $150. Steem itself went half in price . The whole market is down, but we shouldn’t panic , it will eventually rise again

@chitty,
Dude in your last article, you talked about SBD and you talked about the PEG! AT that day I decided to convert my SBD to STEEM! Now I could understand what you said at that day and by following what you said, I made a nice move there!
So as you said, yeah BTC can't climb in that way forever! Now it's X'mas Sale of BTC! Better collect and get ready for the 2018!
Thanks for sharing your great view about current market prices! Really appreciate it!
Cheers~

Thank you for reading me bro, I am glad you made some profits selling SBDs. But remeber that is better to sell SBDs on exchanges and not convert them via Steemit.com, that way you get more, much more.

Thanks for sharing. The chart is looking like the consolidation is coming to an end. Could be a good time to pick some up. Good luck!

This was expected, I don't think we'll see the price go lower than 10,000 though. I'm thinking about picking up some bitshares in the dip!

Indeed - a wise man once gave me the same advice. Buy into the crashes. If you believe in the underlying tech it'll swell again. Now I don't panic when the board's red. I salivate 😂

I think the best thing you said is how low Bitcoin was last year. Even if it drops to $10,000 it is still an incredible jump from >quote

The way I see it...
If you were planning on making QUICK profit off cryptos, your panicking right now.
If you were planning on making profit years from now, your enjoying the sale right now.
If you were investing in the technology because you believe in it and don't care about the fiat price, your laughing right now.

While we agree there's a buy-the-dip opportunity, we think it's not today and here's our reasoning which you might find interesting...

Funny story: my colleagues at work just STARTED to buy some Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoins and dabble into it last week, while I have been into it for more than a year thanks to Steemit - and had remained completely silent about it. They felt pretty smug after seeing Bitcoin Cash soar last week. You should see their face this morning ^^

When you look at the price charts on the front page of CoinMarketCap, most altcoins are flat or rising for the past 7 days. This is not even a big correction yet.

I did not expect litecoin to go down so much that I invested additional cash in it. Now looks like losing money. I think I can only hold if not use my litecoin to buy steem instead at least can use steem power to earn and upvote.

This is really necessary...
Those who are emotionally attached should stay away during such hours...
Being cool and calm is the ultimate way to resist such situations.

Time to invest into Steem, that is all I am going to say to all Steemians who are trading with other coins/tokens.
The sooner Steem and SBD get onto the USD market the better for all of us!

Totally agree with you .this time is for buying crypto not for panic.this can be a great opportunity for you because of very less/discounted price of currencies, if you have missed las time.it's a great time to go with your favourite crypto.
By the way i think bitcoin bottom will be $10700-$11000 . Let's see what happen.
