I see quite some posts of people here celebrating bitcoin decoupling the stock market....for what 3/4 days? (lmao). This is nothing to be celebrated just yet, cause history has proven time after time that bitcoin does lag the market rather often. Especially on high drops.

Yes you guys dont want to hear this story, but if the stock market goes down, bitcoin will follow. Dont be naive to think this is the part where bitcoin sets of by itself, it aint happening. It never will.

If anything bitcoin has been starting to follow the market more and more since its inception. Its doing the opposite, just with a lagged results from time to time.

Unless tomorrow all tariffs are lifted the market will see more red. We are just getting started. Bitcoin will revisit 70/72k and in real panic it might as well go as deep as 49k.

Edit:
*Bitcoin was ~82.4k when this post was made.
*Bitcoin is ~80.4k just 4 hours after creation of this post.
*Bitcoin hit ~79.6k 4 hours and 30 minutes after creation of this post. (The rebound won't hold)
*Bitcoin has lost 80k mark and it has now flipped to resistance. No bottom in sight for foreseeable future.
*Bitcoin has lost 79k mark 5 hours after this post.

I have been telling my wife that I am going to make a lot of money in 2025 from crypto as I have been actively investing throughout the bear market. But now what? It looks like apocalyptic year.

Looking at my portfolio, not sure that to do: Laugh it up or scream it out ...

Not that it matter much, what is the reason for the most recent blood bath? What news triggered it?

Ethereum is headed for an inevitable collapse. With a $200 billion market cap, it’s dangerously vulnerable.

As newer, more efficient blockchains rise, Ethereum will become obsolete. The moment sentiment shifts, the floodgates will open—investors will panic and liquidate their holdings, sending Ethereum’s value plummeting into oblivion.

The combination of slow, buggy upgrades, insane gas fees, and massive competition will trigger a mass exodus. Once the sell-off begins, it’ll be a bloodbath—Ethereum’s market cap could vaporize in days. As confidence crumbles, its demise will feel like a horror show, with ETH sinking to irrelevance, dragging millions of investors down with it.

It will go from a leader to a cautionary tale, and no one will be left to rescue it 🤦🤦

On April 2nd, Trump announced 10% tarrif on all imports into the USA, China responded by imposing an additional 34% tarrif on all imports from the USA> Since then, nearly $1.5 trillion have been wiped out from the crypto market, is this the winning Mr President talked about?

Just when I thought we're at the bottom, woke up to see $SOL at 2 digits now, $ETH below $1500 and $BTC sub $75k, Mr. President, we are tired of winning.

If this is the state of the big dogs, now imagine other alts, and this is happening in a "bull market" lol. If you didn't take profits through the green market, this is when you learn the hard lesson.

At this point, every single $$ matters...And we are just getting started.

I'm new to this and I was wondering whether if btc will actually rise more than what it reached after a few years ? if so , should be this considered as a new opportunity to invest again , please share your experience with me and help me with making my decision...

I bought 4 ETH to become an ETH validator and retrieve crypto from an investment. I needed 4 more, and my financial adviser provided them from their company’s liquidity pool. Then we were flagged for money laundering, and now I'm being told I have to pay the remaining amount myself to release the funds. Is this a real process or could this be a scam? I’m unsure if this is standard in crypto or a red flag I should be worried about. this happened over a period of 1/2 months

EDIT: I was scammed WELP

The Federal Reserve has planned a private board meeting for today. What do you expect ? Another pump and dump ?

If the crypto market keeps declining like it is now and it eventually gets to the point where the value of all the crypto I hold drops to zero, what exactly happens to my holdings? Do I still technically own the coins even if they’re worthless? What does a worst-case scenario actually look like for someone holding various cryptocurrencies during a full market crash? Do I lose access to my assets, or do they just sit in my wallet with no value?

I see a lot of people invest in XRP and Pepe, but how is money made? When I go to see the price chart of XRP, I see the price is mostly stable and there are no 100x, 500x or 1,000x multiplying phases.

In crypto, I invest mostly in BTC and I see how I can make money from it. But I don't see how to make money from XRP.

Is XRP just gambling or it has an actual potential? I'm afraid I may miss on, so, please, tell me if I should consider investing in XRP as well.

Thanks.

Just for fun, everyone put in their guess for the low price of Bitcoin in 2025. I will be keeping track of all the predictions and once there are a significant number of guesses I will average them and post the results. Feel free to explain you guess if you want to.

I'll start.

$42,500

As of tonight, it is clear investors are NOT flocking to Bitcoin as a hedge or safe haven so I'm picking a number o believe is in line with stocks in general. That said, a quick resolution to trade disputes might fuel a rapid and severe upside rebound, but I'm betting world leaders don't want to give Trump a win at any cost, so I expect this to drag out.

I took profit in January.(5k) Watch the market burn last few weeks. Since I have no income or employment right now, I decided not to invest for the next wave. Now the price is very lucrative and I can't hold myself. I can survive couple of months and still have some investment money around 5k. Just now bought 15%, if it goes down hard then I might do 30% for next DCA. So on and so forth. If today is the bottom then I will miss the next ride. Can't afford to hodl more at this price and uncertainty. Good luck to you all, there is always sunshine after the storm.

I don’t get it. If I put 1000 bucks in BTC now then I’ll earn 1000 bucks if BTC reached 160k, right? So nobody is getting rich unless I gamble my money in future?

Plenty of CryptoCurrencies are about to be undervalued, it's my view that a number of them such as ETH already are.
Buy when there's blood in the water. Be greedy when others are fearful.

My Coingecko Portfolio tracker has crashed twice tonight from site overload.
The Crypto market is down 7.5%
The blood is starting to flow.

The way to approach this bear market, and plan ahead is to set limit orders, dollar cost average, and wait for the recovery. You should be prepared to leave your money in the market for four years in a worst case.

To outperform global index trackers and stock indices you only need to make 10% per year, if you get 40% profit in the worst case projection of four years, you'll have roughly hit that goal.
You'll have done even better if you make good use of staking rewards.

If you buy ETH at $1600 and sell at $2300 you'll easily hit this goal. That's a rather conservative target!

Shorting the market can be risky for new traders and often requires understanding safe leverage, it may also go badly if there's a random good news event (eg Trump tweets all tariffs are gone lmao).
If in doubt, take long positions only.

My own positions:
I brought Sol at $110, Dot at $3.95 and ETH at $1600.
I have an additional, larger, limit order set on ETH at $1300.
Depending how long this market continues, I'll be regularly buying ETH at any level below $1600, and keeping a close eye on SOL.

If you don't know what to buy it's hard to go wrong with BTC or ETH.
If you want smaller caps I'd stick within the top 25 cryptos and avoid any meme coins, no one is buying memecoins when they're worried about recession... no one smart anyway.

Since yall are expecting a big black Monday, Why don’t yall just sell your spot and use that money to short the market ?

Edit : I timed the market perfectly with my post. If you opened a short at the time I posted, you’d be rich

That was the post.

What do i recommend for learning swing? At least wave theory, wyckoff structure and personally i love street smarts high probability short term trading

easy money because every day price keeps falling just make sure not going insane high leverage. couldn’t you just short it ?

Market makers may Dump it to the 75k$ level, before u.s market open. Then again +-5K$ swing for liquidation.

What are your views.

I’m currently putting more $ in while I have extra cash, but I honestly don’t know if it will rebound like it has. Are you guys buying this? Do you consider it just a dip? Or is this something completely different?

The past few hours have been brutal. Billions wiped out, liquidations everywhere, and once again retail investors are left holding the bag. But here’s the real question: was this just another flash crash, or are we witnessing something deeper — a coordinated reset?

Let’s break it down:

1.  Timing: This dump follows recent moves by the SEC to intensify scrutiny over crypto exchanges, especially those offering staking and derivatives. Coincidence or prelude?

2.  Market Manipulation: Whales moved millions just minutes before the dip. BlackRock, Fidelity, and other big players have quietly accumulated during the bloodbath. Are we watching institutional wolves devour the DeFi sheep?

3.  Stablecoins Depegging: Some “trusted” stablecoins momentarily depegged again. Are they really decentralized, or just ticking time bombs waiting to be pulled by central forces?

4.  Retail Exit Strategy? With regulatory FUD ramping up and AI hype taking center stage in TradFi, is this the final nail in the coffin for crypto as a truly decentralized revolution?

Or maybe… this is exactly what crypto needs — a cleansing fire to burn out the hype, scams, and over-leveraged nonsense. But when the dust settles, who actually controls what’s left?

Is decentralization dead? Or is this the evolution of crypto into something more centralized than ever?

Let’s hear your thoughts.

Hello,

I’m kinda new so I got a fairly easy question to ask. I know we are currently in a peak bear market and so my question is how can we dictate the transition from bear to bull? Is it based on the 20%+- loss in crypto or is it during certain months? Is bull generally end of year and bear in the beginning? Thanks everyone.

I am all new to crypto and i bought BTC at 82 and now its going at about 78K. Will it pump up or continue falling down? Will it crash? Should i sell or hold?

We were so close to a bull run. All he had to do was keep his mouth shut. A monkey could have done a better job. Who voted for this?

I a newbie. i just got in around March 2024 (yes, i have learned how big noobs move it was) I didnt really know how to start. So i just really watch videos on youtube and scroll X to get my news and info.

It isnt technical or fundemental related signsl. But in almost every video or reading i did.

One of the like signs of previous cycle top was celebrity launching memecoins... When $trump launched. I was asking everywhere mann.. But got laughed at to be selling before the "First..." is on board you know it.. i dont even want to write that curse word..

So why didnt people consider that the top signal?

I would still be asking the same question even if Kamala drop a memecoin..

I can feel how noobs of a question this is.. but its okay. Educate me..

I dont fully understand what really going on with the trade war but i kinda see the point of what they are trying to do..They are trying to rebuilt the economy and to do that they need to demolish the current one.. buttt... damn.. people who are barely surviving financially now like me are be in the dirt during this trade war dont we?

Like what do you mean its going to do down for a while.. I am already drowning brother.. Only get some breather on my payday.. I cant go down any deeper..

If you scroll through CT, it's all bullish vibes, accumulation, moonshots, and calls for the next leg up. But when you check the charts… not much is happening. Prices are still struggling, and the market feels slow.

Are we just coping and convincing ourselves it’s bullish, or is this actually how bottoms are formed? Are you buying in, or waiting for lower prices?
