So their next move would be to rebuy low and push it back up

It's amazing how you read about the Bitcoin market from Bitcoin enthusiasts and even as the currency is roller coastering up and down, crashing by 100% in a matter of days, no one is losing. Everyone is making money. From the big banks to the cheeto-fingered laptop jockeys, everyone is making a killing and the money is coming from no one.

I'm not sure what you're calling a 100% crash, but the crypto market is up ~2400% from one year ago, as of today. And that's including losing almost 50% of the overall marketcap over the past 10 days. So, yeah, it's incredibly volatile, as any reasonable investor will tell you, but a lot of people are still way up on their portfolio overall, with the insane growth over the past year.

100% crash would be down to 0, so no, that hasn’t happened.

It’s like that one friend that everyone has who “always” wins at the casino, or pull tabs, or the stock market, etc. They’re happy to talk about their gains, they just never mention their losses so it seems that they’re always killing it.

Still have 0 Ripple. And feel pretty good about it.

Nobody ever talks about their gambling losses either.

I got killed on litecoin and ripple. I am stupid and a coward.

But there’s this guy that has a crypto podcast?

I'm down 30% since the new year after almost doubling my money in a week. In my mind I was going to hold a year and see. Don't see myself changing that. It sucks to lose the money but when I sit back and think about it. I wasn't going to do shit with it anyways anytime soon if ever.

Look at it long term. Instead of being up 300%, we're up 30%...

This game isn't for emotional traders. Gotta look at it like gamblin money and just let it ride.

Said tulip and beanie babie speculators (look it up)

Instead of Ming crypto coins, you can mine prime numbers for profit. The last one just paid $3,000.

Anyone can start searching for large Mersenne primes by downloading a free program. If you strike it lucky, not only is the discovery attributed to you, there’s also a cash prize. Proving that M77232917 is prime took Pace’s computer six days of non-stop computation. Four other computers then verified the result.
