You only have a 130% gain? That’s not so great considering the risk and volatility.

The stock market has risen 105% in the last 5 years (Wilshire 5000) with much less risk.

typical for the BTC haters. Just mix timeframes together in a way that supports your narrative but avoid a performance comparison with the same parameters (timeframe).

130% since November 2020. I bought BTC at 15K last November....yes, 130% is pretty fuckin awesome. And you are telling me you compare that to !!5 years!! in the stock market??

BTW., I am heavily invested in the stock market as posted on this blog multiple times.

I wouldnt try to challenge me on performance.....You wont even come close to this one:
My average cost on Cardano (ADA coin) is $0.1 and its currently trading at $1.3. And I have over 102,900 ADA coins :)

Some people should just think twice before posting BS or just remain quiet.

I’m not impressed by the rapid gains in Bitcoin, because I didn’t take that huge risk and my AAPL and ROKU have outstanding capital gains and dividends (in the case of AAPL).

I generally own mutual funds, Apple and Roku were rolls of the dice.

As I mentioned, a bunch of Bitcoin owners bought in at $60,000+ and they are sucking a hind tit and biting their nails.

What if I suddenly had liked Bitcoin and sold some things to buy it at $60,000? I would be hating life.

Other guys are hating it too, but they hide their shame and don’t post anything anywhere.

Not sticking to your story now.

First 130% since November 2020 until now wasnt good enough because the stock market made 105% over 5 years.

Now you say Bitcoins gains are rapid but you are not impressed. lol.

And then you come again with APPL which I own too and again you mention people who bought at the very peak of 60k for BTC and conveniently dont mention anyone that bought Bitcoin at 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k, 15k etc.

Typical BTC hater. You just cant handle the fact that Bitcoin has been around for ten years, never been hacked and had the best performance over the last 10 years (compared to any other asset class).

Speaking of BTC and crypto in general I would not be chasing the dream here in either BTC or ETH I'm just not feeling it. ;)
Trading them maybe ok but I wouldn't be doing it with the run to BTC 80-100k just yet. For instance I am seeing the FOMO for ETH
to take it to 3350-3600 and BTC 47k will be a tough neighborhood and >50k is a dream or a FOMO night mare for any chasing price
there if it happens to even get close so I see some short term profit but no breaking out to new ATH on either ATM IMO.
On the other hand stacking a few discounted alts might be the real ticket XDC is 1 I am looking at as a nice "spec trade" as well as
a few others. XDC use case white paper https://www.xinfin.io/#white-paper

In support of my last comment the DX retesting above that long term trend line in a pattern that could be termed a possible Cup & Handle or
the big "W" pattern could indicate some decent temporary USD strength "deflation". https://invst.ly/voc47
In unison it looks to me USD has high probability to break out as crypto, equities and metals dump and metals imo take the biggest hit
oil could be the largest benefactor during the process any retest lower is likelty to be bought up. Good times

Has anybody seen or heard from the Bitcoin haters? Its been awfully quiet.....Bitcoin must be up??



Sry haters....Bitcoin has its way to slap you left and right.....like clockwork.....Bitcoin correcting>>>the haters put their cheerleader gear on, Bitcoin goes up>>>silence

And when asked....the haters say>>>we dont care! We never cared!

Until Bitcoin corrects and the haters care all of a sudden. LOL

In truth and IMHO I would be sitting on the sidelines if I had cash to enter this market when it comes to BTC.

I absolutely stand on my last 2 comments in this posting and even more so now in that DXY has crazy high odds of blasting off.
For 1 reason the equities are getting a bit frothy indicating some risk-off taking place, not only can you see it in the USD strength you can also
see it in the CHF and JPY all 3 designated as safe $$$ risk-off plays making real the possibility of SP500 for instance tasting the 4k+/-
area at min. The other is the infrastructure bills which are stuck in the mud as these guys try and leverage their pet rocks and on top of this all
the Fed R is going to continue 120bill monthly bond and MBS buying. Regardless of all the continual USD crash talk that is very unlikely at least
in the intermediate time frame in this current environment "cash is king". Take your pick C&H or gigantic W both pointing UP!!! and that is a
very negative correlation to Equities and the Crypto markets...

Lets not forget the ascending triangle ;)

Is there a timeframe for SOON?

I dont know how soon for Tesla but United States’ second largest mortgage company, United Wholesale Mortgage will start accepting payments in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum from the third quarter of this year 2021.

Time to flip BTC for ETH, not the time to FOMO and buy BTC. I only have dust left of BTC and hold a small amt of ETH
short term to trade for tokens such as XDC and ONE.
