Six figs for BTC by year end seems a little nuts to me. I see the entire crypto space increasing in size from ~$700 billion to $2 trillion this year. At current levels of BTC dominance, this implies a value of ~$40,000. $30k ~$40k seems reasonable IF the entire space attracts $1.3 trillion AND BTC maintains its current levels of dominance. What are your estimates for total crypto market cap and BTC's share of the space in predicting BTC > $100k?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe you meant something different..anyway, I am with you, no need to divulge amounts. I stated way back end of November that I bought some of the ETF, which is flat right now, so really losing based on what the market has done. As mentioned, also bought some ETH, and that is doing well. Forgetting amounts, will tell you that both combined equal less than 2% of my investable portfolio , so not exactly jumping in with both feet LOL. And in term of not losing casino/betting, well established in many threads on main board, that I got crushed this year. I only bet moneyline underdogs, and this was an outlier year where the majority of the dogs I bet covered, but did not win the game...so I got freaking CRUSHED and lost every penny in my football account. Had I not gone all in on Bills in the playoffs, would have had enough to bet Jaguars and the Titans on the money line, and the Jags were a little over +300, so good little win even with the Titans loss. Oh well, next year !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I have a lot of interest in continuing to respond to cries of bubble and scam every time the most volatile asset class in the world falls a mere 4% in a day. Bitcoin is consolidating, Ethereum remains above $1,000 (that purchase in the $400s is looking ok), and you've never heard of any of the others I hold. I'm not really sure how to respond to your "I told you so" as Bitcoin CRASHES back down to the all time high realized in December. Today looks like a nice buying opportunity but I'm tapped out for the moment and do not have any additional money to toss into the game.

Nothing to do with bitcoin, but my wife thinks I am nuts for rooting for the dow ( and market in general) to have a nice 6-8% correction, and we are almost 100% long in equities.

For sure it is a symptom of inflation. People mistake inflation as ‘rising prices’ inflation is an increase in money supply. That supply which was held tight by banks for so many years has been trickling into all asset classes. Lots of cash chasing few goods. Thats why art and real estate and bitcoin prices are skyrocketing also, a 30+ year bond market bull may be finally dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the golden days of ZIRP are coming to a close. Not sure there will be much demand for treasuries in the short or long term. Inflation is classically defined as an increase in the money supply...but banks have sat on that cash for some time and drained monetary velocity. It’s now coming back with a vengeance.
