    Ouch . . . Fortunately, I've been pretty much out of equities since before Christmas. PE are still too high for me to even consider re-entry right now. Still, I feel for others.

    I made some well-timed sales before the swoon. Good luck I suppose. They had gotten to the hoggish stage.

    Tomorrow’s hazard is when the hedge funds and other assorted idiots who have been playing the market on borrowed money start getting margin calls. They’ll have to dump winners and losers to raise the cash.

    Yeah, we should probably expect gold to take a hit tomorrow to cover positions in equities.

    if I still owned Bitcoin, I wouldn't try trading it on the platforms. It would sit there.
    I'd use it to buy Gold or something and let the vendor deal with it (such as Apmex that accepts it). Nice Silver Monster box or something.

    HODL . . . what's that? Hold On for Dear Life?

    Exactly! Spend them on a stable asset, of which the FRN is not.

    An "on purpose, kinda" misspelling of "hold" - first coined in the altcoin sphere in 2013 & later said to imply "Hold On for Dear Life". It reinforces the financial concept that you don't sell in a Bear Market. You ride it until the bitter end, or the price comes back up. (Hint: Crypto prices usually comes back up.)​

    Stocks usually come back up, too, but I've ridden a couple of those into craters.

    I don't think crypto has been around long enough to talk about "usually". Ten years may seem like forever by today's cultural standards, but I've got a mutual fund I've been holding since 1983...

    Me too and I’m too old to repeat that. So I used the strong market this afternoon to sell and lock in some profits, not buy.

    Not saying there is a tie in, but the last few days when the stock market was down so was BC, and when it was up, also.

    I noticed that, too. Beyond happen chance, I would be at a loss since I don’t really understand what makes bitcoin owners tick.

    Had to look this up because I use happenstance, not happenchance or happen chance. :cool:

    Beware the wash trade. You wash trade stocks and you’ll be washing the laundry at Leavenworth. Absolutely nothing to keep it from happening with cryptocurrencies.
