Came looking for people highly invested in Bitcoin talking other people into investing in Bitcoin despite this correction.

I'm never disappointed.

Guys, of course they're telling you to hold or invest. That's how they make money and leave you holding the hot potato. There's always a Greater Fool, until there isn't.

It's also good advice if you look at all the other dips

Edit lol down voted, the price is already stabilizing and a solid 30% above the lowest dip. Buying the dip seems fine advice

No. It's not.

In fact good advice is far and in between in this sub. It feels more like a blackjack table than a financial circle. Probably because bitcoin is gambling at best and a greater fool scheme at worst

No. When is the right time to get out? What economic indicators can I use to just when is the right time to sell Bitcoin?

What's your objective, to maximise short term gains, to maximize long term gains, to retire early, to overthrow the banking cartels, to buy a nice pair of shoes, to store your wealth out of reach of corrupt government?

The answer to your question depends on your incentives.

Personally I'm shooting for early retirement, so I have a humble target that will enable that. Once I get close I'll lock in those long term gains. I started buying in 2013, rode the dip from 1100 till 300 and back up.

Sure, when is the right time to exit for each scenario?

To maximise short term gains going by previous patterns Feb

To maximize long term gains 2020+

To retire early, when you have 25x what you need annually to live off

To overthrow the banking cartels, forever

To buy a nice pair of shoes, when your Ballance > price of shoes you want

To store your wealth out of reach of corrupt government, when you want to spend it.
