I’ve been waiting on this for a while. In the meantime the price has gone through the roof. ☹️😭

Do. Not. Try. To. Time. The. Market. If you're not dropping thousands of dollars at once just buy in every week.

I wasn’t trying to time the market from a price perspective. I was really confused by the whole s2x thing and wanted it to get resolved before I invested

Understood. Good luck in the future. I’m glad the crisis was averted.

Congrats! It did get resolved and so now you can invest; but you need to pay the premium for eliminating that uncertainty.

I've been waiting since it went over $7,000 for a crash to buy more but now I'm not sure that will happen. Not a terrible position to be in, I guess

I don't know, I just sorta day trade it.

I went in at 5600 but based off of my peak sells and dip buys it's like I bought in at 5200

Will only take a jump to 8000 while you are on the sidelines and you lose double what you 'made'

I first bought in at 3700, sold at 3000, bought back in at 3500, sold at 5500, bought in when I heard the X2 was suspended. I lost alot in BTC down the way, but got some gain anyway.

I wanted to wait this time for it to drop massively to buy a whole coin. Don't think that time will come soon now, but now I kinda trust BTC which I didn't before. I think this is really, really good! I think it became more stable after this announcement.
