Bitcoin Begins To Pull Back After Hitting $5000 USD - What This Means

in #bitcoin7 years ago

A few hours ago I posted about how Bitcoin was about to hit $5000 USD. Well on some sites, it hit $5000, others it hit $4975 and stopped. Either way, people are selling off... and fast!

Bitcoin is now sitting around $4638 just a few hours after hitting the peak.

Firstly, do not panic and unless you want to take a bunch of profit, HODL!

Secondly, I can't help but feel the $5000 USD mark is arbitrary.

We don't start selling off our fiat when it reaches a certain amount of Satoshis. We have to as Bitcoin lovers stop basing things on arbitrary US fiat numbers. $5000 USD is $6198 CAD (that's Canadian fiat). It's 3860 Pounds. It's 551345 Japanese Yen.

Again, who cares?

$5000 is just an imaginary landmark. A make belief pinnacle that we as people who've moved away from the central banking system should understand.

My point is this... Bitcoin will continue to climb to the sky as I mentioned in my previous post. It will also correct many times on the way to the top, again as I mentioned many previous times. By fundamentals we will see both of these events take place. But we HAVE to stop basing it on other fiat currencies as the fiat empire comes falling down.

We are watching the dollar crash and burn at a very slow rate. The fundamentals in the fiat system are off the table due to the level of manipulation, so we can't put a date on it but we know it's going to happen. With the debt ceiling decision coming up on the 29th of September in the United States, there's a good chance we will see the brakes fail. Not to mention the countless swaps away from the US world reserve currency throughout the world. The faith is quickly lost and a lot of that (thank God) is due to Bitcoin.

At the same time as this, the stock market is ready to come crashing down. We are seeing the EXACT same trends we've seen before every stock crash in history. Yeah, it all looks great to those who haven't studied history but it's about to blow sky high and not in the same way as Bitcoin. We are about to see the chains come loose and an EPIC fall to the bottom of a pit of debt.

All of this is happening while people flood the commodities markets. Gold and silver are rising despite the vast manipulation and ETFs. Bitcoin is rising alongside many other altcoins as people flood the market and pull out of the stock market. As I mentioned in my previous post, 30 billion dollars was pulled out of US stocks by investors in the past 10 weeks alone! This is all good news for the crypto and precious metals market as the system comes crashing down.

So DON'T panic! Bitcoin will likely hit $7500 USD by the end of the year easily. By the year 2020 as I've so often mentioned, at the 7 year daily average rate of growth, Bitcoin should hit $250k!

So the point of this rambling post which I'm writing as I sit here at 1:15am local time is... Keep calm and HODL. You won't regret it. As I said before, TO THE MOON! ;)

Sort:  

The economic turmoil will benefit the Bitcoin. Corrections in the market are inevitable and we do not know yet whether it is a correction or the bitcoin will further go up before correcting, time will tell us. Gold and Silver are treated as safe heaven and bitcoin have overtaken them as a safe heaven providing high returns with less risk. In stock market, if we study the history, there have been stock market crashes after every 8 years and since 2009 8 years have passed so we will soon see a crash the signs of which have started to come to light like interest rate hike etc. So from all of this bitcoin will get a huge benefit even it it sees correction at $5000. so do not panic and hold your bitcoins

it means it's waiting for us to get on board

good on you - i agree and i hold as it doesn't matter the price today except i want to buy a little more in a few days -- if it low then , that is my good karma and if it high then , my previous investments are doing well - so it good whatever i just keep buying more

While I agree with your long term views, I think it makes sense to wait for a pullback to add to positions.

Enjoyed the post. The transfer of wealth is getting more obvious as Bitcoin goes higher. Its definitely gonna be a wild ride especially going into 2018. Diversification with crypto, PM's, and other essential preps will be necessary for survival.

I agree 100%! Diversification is incredibly important.
Too many hate gold and love Bitcoin, or hate Bitcoin and love both. People should instead stick to diversification between gold, silver, Bitcoin and guns. lol My opinion anyways. ;)

I am right there with you. By they way I am thinking to dump more BRL into BTC, but will the price get any better to get in again!

5000 is just a number but obviously the psychology of it had people who planned on taking profits when it hit 5000. But I will continue to hodl even if this turns bearish!

The dip is now stabilizing so the selloff is easing somewhat. :)
And I know, it's definitely all psychological, I just think it's dumb when it comes to assets and currency.

Surely this is an unbelievable milestone crossed, but probably is not making any difference to one way or another... For me the most interesting news on the crypto currencies at the moment is the plans of Estonia 🇪🇪 to launch their own crypto currency backed by the government, what you think about that @joshsigurdson?

If it's backed by the government, it's not a cryptocurrency. But I know a lot of centrally planned cashless societies are popping up and these should be seen as nothing more than the enemy of free humanity. Stick to that which is not backed by anything else but scarcity and demand. :)

Alright, I didnt know this. Thanks for the advise dude, much appreciated!

Same as such thing called "European coin", isn't it? Who would do this right now?

Too cool. So legit!

That's probably my favorite Bitcoin meme. I guess partly because I like that original (not sequels) Matrix movie so much.

Haha Thanks guys! :D
