First let me say that it doesn't really matter when it happens. 6 digit BTC will come, only question is when. But end of year is a fun idea so let's dig in.
Is there precedent for an asset having a massive run up, then a long brutal corrective period followed by a spectacular blow off top later that year? Yes, of course.
Ethereum did almost excactly that in 2017, ended the year 237% higher than the "top"
BTW BTC would only need a 50% higher high than the ATH to hit 6 digits.
I also like this chart from Ben Cowen about Bitcoin cycle ROI. Either this was the shortest cycle with the lowest ROI or we are going to get a pretty spectacular second act.
The #bitcoin logarithmic growth curve barely got past its midpoint, and was far away from reaching its top for this cycle. It doesn't "have to", but it is curious it hasn't. Translation, more fuel in the hopium tank for H2 2021!
Sentiment wise we are very bearish. I can give ample anecdotal evidence from my comment section here and on YT, many are feeling very very pessimistic.
BTC fear and greed index has basically been below 25 for over 2 months!
This fear has been aided in large part by a stream of media stories about the end of crypto, regulations, and China bans.
Keep in mind that the switch can be flipped back to bullish with a moment's notice. How do you think the market would react to an Apple or Facebook buy?
Although 44.9% of your peers believe that Bitcoin can still finish the year with a bang!
But if the herd is usually wrong then maybe the contrarions will be right and 64k was the top of this market cycle.
As I frequently mention I invest beyond the world of #crypto and #bitcoin, crazy I know...
Anyway here are my top #stocks in my portfolio right now.
1 - My biggest stock holding is Brookfield Property Partners. They run hundreds of commercial and retail properties around the globe. Dividend is 5.19%. This is my big property play in a portfolio otherwise heavy in tech and renewables.
2 - iShares Gold Strategy ETF is a fund that is exposed to a variety of gold products. Dividend is 8.06%. I like gold and dividends. Easy.
Here are 7 reasons that I remain mega bullish on #ethereum, why I continue to cost average in, why I continue to buy oversold dips, and why I will hold my ETH until the multi trillion market valuation comes... at which point I will be staking and making sweet passive income!
1 Ethereum ETFs are here, and will only become more prevalent. Canada and now Brazil have approved ETH ETFs. There are multiple ETH ETF applications sitting with the SEC in the USA. Approval of which will unleash a tsunami of money onto ETH. markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/sk…
2 Ethereum is the king of innovation in crypto, with the biggest dev lead. The release of multiple layer two implementations really underlines this. Uniswap, the biggest DEX on ETH, has just announced their integration of Optimism for scaling. This kills the ETH killers.
How to retire with #crypto, a thread for those wanting to escape the rat race!
1 First you need to determine how much you need to retire. Classic calculation is 25 X your annual expenses based on withdrawing 4% annually. IE your expenses are $50,000 a year then you'll need 1.25 million. Just 1.25 million, I'm sure you all have that laying around right?
I do want to point out though that this total amount saved could be a lot less since rates of return are so high in crypto. IE 250k in Anchor would give your 50k a year passive. Still though the more the better.
Later in July, starting from the 13th Grayscale will begin the unlock of around 41,000 #bitcoin worth of GBTC shares. But WTF does this actually mean and should you be worried.
You need to read this thread!
👇
1 - FUD master in chief JP Morgan is saying that it will dump BTC to 25k. I tend to never believe what these criminal financial terrorists say as a rule of thumb.
1.1 Celsius CEO Mashinsky thinks it will cause a big sell off. BUT his maths are epicly badly flawed. He says 20 billion (570K BTC) will be unlocked which is categorically not true., it is 41k BTC. Sounds like someone is shorting or highly misinformed?
#ethereum London hard fork is coming soon. Here's what you need to know.
1 - It may not actually be soon. lol. Ethereum man... Anyway, the core devs are meeting on the 9th to discuss the release. It was originally scheduled for the 14th. August 4th is now being floated. Could easily be pushed back months.
1.1 By the way, there is no fork coin to claim. You will also not need to do anything if you are using a regular wallet or exchange account. Those running nodes will need to upgrade.
How much #bitcoin do you need to get rich? Can Bitcoin still make you a millionaire?
1 - Well, first, let's face this fact. If you can afford to buy 1 BTC today then congratulations you are rich! 1 BTC is worth more than the average annual income of the majority of the world's citizens. worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankin…
1.1 So getting "rich" from buying BTC is highly subjective. But one thing is for sure in my mind buying BTC is a way to ensure I don't go poor slowly with fiat.
