My point is that even BTCUSD drops to 4,000 you still make money if you buy it cheaper.
Whatever.
That is what I said in the beginning:

As with any ponzi scheme (BitCoin, ICO, or HYIP) the gains are only good in the beginning - but take your money and run before you get 'left holding the bag'.
It 'seemed' you were saying something different.
Glad we have come to a mutual understanding.

Is 200 MA really that important? I have tried adding it to my charts and I never really see any resistance around it. That is for Forex not crypto though

Well BTC is still 4 times the value compared to MAR 2017

You do not get it.
BTC has lost value this way more times and it always end up much stronger.

And it gather 20,000% since its low :)

I did not say I am bullish.
I said there is no need to panic.
As BTC is such volatile instrument it can lose 75% of its value and recover.

Last year in January you could have bought 1 BTC for 1,000 USD.
More precisely 966.19.
So even with the drop to $4,000 you could still have 300% profit....

I was replying to your sentence.
...Gonna be awkward seeing relatives again this holiday season if you convinced them to buy crypto last year...
The point is if you bought BTC last year for 1,000 and sell today for 4,000 you still make 300% profit.
Do not try to make my answers reply to something else.

Forgive me for thinking you were saying something else.
I am a literal person and interpreted you as saying: 'don't jump ship' (ie. keep HODLing)
I am saying: take the profits (losses) before you get 'left holding the bag': https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagholder
(ie. before BTC / ETH / etc. become worthless - can I say such a 'profanity'?)
Each trader to their own perspective.

Once again - my last comment.
BTCUSD is at $4,000.
What does it mean? If you
bought at $20,000 and sold today you lost a lot.
bought at 1,000 and sold today you make a lot.
If you are holder than hodl.
Imagine selling it at 20,000 and buying e.g. XRP. That could make a lot of profit. yeah time machine - but that does apply even to physical asset like gold.
If you bought GOLD for 1,200 at JAN 2017 and sell today you get zero profit or loss:)
All assets price is changing. EUR drop a lot of value as well.
It is up to you to make profit at the end. Or accept small loss.
Check this out BTW

Amazing. I do not know what to say.
Great reason not to trade cryptocurrency?
Thanks for your contribution.

Crypto currency doesn’t mean only BTC. There have so many coins; so I think, there have a good future for crypto.
The same with penny-stocks: so many they must all have a good future.
You had better invest in all of them.
A wise investment decision.

The wild fluctuations in value is not a desirable characteristic of a ubiquitous stable method of exchange.
The historical performance is more akin to 'pump-and-dumps' and/or ponzi schemes.

i agree. crypto's are highly volatile, newbie cannot handle it but it isn't easy to trade for an experienced person as well. predictions go wrong all the time. like i predicted that by the end of the year maybe the price will have some rise, but i was wrong. so i won't say you shouldn't trade but you should have a very wide risk margin.

There are more cryptos to trade than just BTCUSD
While BTCUSD is had dropped a lot there are other interesting pairs where you can still buy

Settlements should award $0 damages to those that that got scammed.
The risks are CONSPICUOUSLY obvious to any sensible investor.
