If you're not systematically legging into/accumulating this air pocket (or at least holding), you lack a fundamental position on where we're headed and what's going on. That's an emotional approach and a recipe for disaster. Correct this, or you're better off leaving the bitcoin and wider crypto space. This is why, as plain vanilla and mindless as it is, monthly dollar cost averaging works far better for most people. Your amygdala will hijack you unless you have gained experience the hard way.
Some of you need to get on Alto crypto IRA and start automatically adding 50, 100 or 500 bucks a month, and come back every few years to see the tax deferred or tax free growth.
