[QUOTE="wjschmaltz, post: 161446, member: 6150"] I saw I was tagged here and haven't been on the site for a couple of weeks. Crypto is not dead. There are a lot of crypto projects that are. Probably over half of them as a matter of fact. Shit coins like Shibi Inu or Doge Coin that I've been screaming at people to avoid are pretty much done. Bitcoin is following it's historical cycle. The push down being driven by economics and scared money along with historical BTC cycle. I switched everything to UDSC and USDT to peg the dollar when ETH couldn't get back above 3,800 a couple months ago and the economics were pointing towards recession. I think the lowest I got out was $3,000. So I had very good gains. My average position on ETH was at around $500 and the 25 I swapped over will be 75-100 here very soon when I buy back in. I would like $500-$900 to switch back into ETH. Hopefully it comes lower than that even! If it hits $200, I will be buying at least one a week for the next couple of years.
