In spite of hitting new highs of $66K Bitcoin is just as volatile today as when it was worth $6,600, or $660, or $66. Bitcoin's price does not become less volatile as adoption grows:

For all the talk about cycles what gets left out is the pandemic resulting in a flood of fiat liquidity, “Crypto people think it’s an antidote to central-bank bubbles, but it has actually become a symptom,”
So the big unanswered question, in spite of many folks assuming BTC is an inflation hedge, is what happens when reserve banks began tapering and liquidity is taken out of the system. Because instead of a cycle, that's perhaps the main contributer to crypto winters in the past.

I am guessing we will have another 80% drawdown.

Also a special shout-out to pure gravity for taking time away from his important gondola cable research to help get BTC down to 30k.

Nope, liquidate everything and bet it all to win.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

^ dca in over a period of time, we will prob retrace a bit. let it run, convert some(half or more)into usdc. wait for the pullback, then rebuy in at a lower pricepoint.
then continue to accumulate. so no, it's not too late.

Check out the timeline (post 19) in this epic tweet thread . This is what the visionaries and doers are planning for. They are thinking a decade + out. So no, I don't think you're too late. However, there are plenty of salty curmudgeons in this thread who contribute nothing beyond negative vibes and bad faith arguments and have been screaming BTC is going to zero since page 1. These are the same type of people who claimed in 1995 the internet was never going to amount to anything and laughed while the Wright Brothers were flying at Kitty Hawk.
I think byates is correct that if you're new to all this, dollar cost averaging into BTC is a good strategy. Say you have 10k total you want to invest. Start with 1k into BTC and give it a few weeks. Get used to what it feels like buying and holding. Later on you can decide if you want to keep building your position at regular intervals. The new BTC reward cards from Fold, BlockFi, Coinbase, etc. are also an excellent low-risk way to start building a position. It's a long-term game of accumulation in my opinion. There are only 21 million BTC ever and over 50 million millionaires worldwide.
I highly recommend watching this 5 part series before putting any substantial amount of money in. Chris is one of my fav educators in the space. He stresses, it's up to you to decide the value of BTC.

TL;DR Lots of pros are forecasting BTC price targets by the end of this bull (probably somewhere in 1st half of 2022) run from 200-300k. BTC is the safest play, by quite a bit IMO. If you want max profits from a high-risk strategy, buy as much ETH, SOL, BNB, AVAX, etc. as possible. If you want to get even riskier, buy SHIB.

^ reading those comments from 2012 are hilarious. to be fair, btc to most everyone then was a silly internet money project back then.
although to be fair to satoshi, it was designed as a legit alternative to other transaction mechanisms at the time, and was created in part as a reaction to the bail outs of the banks in 08.
the amount of money printed then seems trivial compared to this past 18 months.

Watching Ed dunk on Sam for Worldcoin is pretty entertaining. It's also a good exercise reminding us why BTC actually is THAT good as arguably the most decentralized form of money. I generally like Sam and his blog. But c'mon man, you were surprised that people don't want their eyeballs scanned by an orb? Really? Lol

My God Worldcoin has some governance issues from the constating docs right off the bat. I'm not saying it's as bad as EOS but there needs to be more checks and balances built in. It's an interesting concept. But really needs more thought put it into it from the user point of view

Increasingly crypto in general and Bitcoin specifically are becoming controlled by capital and not the community. Bitcoin is not entirely decentralized and transfers are already being blocked for compliance reasons. For example, the largest Bitcoin mining pool recently blocked internet access from mainland China to comply with Chinese government regulations on crypto mining activities:
https://www.coindesk.com/business/20...ainland-china/
The word 'decentralized' in the context of bitcoin has taken on the additional meaning of protecting key actors operating the system rather than a 'permisionless' form of money. The Veil of Decentralization is helpful to participants in the blockchain because it provides a liability shield without making the blockchain system a legal person that could be sued even though blockchains are often controlled by people with concentrated power and human agency:

We should strive to maintain a clear‐eyed understanding about how power actually operates within systems so that we can make informed decisions based on reality and not mythology.
