Ya, I don't blame you. Its at about 1% of my portfolio now so pretty modest (get my feet wet). If institutions start selling off to get their profits and it comes crashing down well then ill load up, but I think $150k bitcoin by 2023 isnt out of the question either.

I'll buy when it drops closer to power cost of the coin which is probably somewhere around 10k. (I haven't looked it a few months)

I hold BTC, ETH, and ADA

I have held BTC since early 2017 when it was $1500 and people in the other thread were mocking me for buying whole coins at that price. I would be shocked if BTC isn't over 100k this year, ADA over $10, and Either over $5k. Still in a bull cycle if you look at the historic 4 year cycles.

Have to warn you though lots of people will be butt hurt when you make money.

IMO ADA is the best buy right now...BTC at 100k is only 2x, ADA should 8x at least

Past performance doesn't indicate future results; could BTC get above 100k 100%. But Cryptocurrency is a luxury good, when people feel good about their situation and feel they have extra money to through at Crypto it goes up. But when this pandemic is over people won't want to spend on cryptocurrency, they'll want to spend on getting the #### out of the house.

I hold cryptocurrency and have cryptocurrency stocks; I'm a long-term bull, medium-term bear, short-term who the #### knows. This year, I actually think it'll crash hard again.

I should fast then I expect in my stock holdings because they started trading as if BTC was at 100k already and ETH at 3k. There wasn't really upside on my most bull opinions about cryptocurrencies trajectory this year.

I also worry Tesla selling cars for BTC will have a massive downward effect on the currency as holders start cashing out.

You really think that many people will buy Tesla's with BTC? Also, that isn't cashing out its just transferring.

I use bitfinex mostly

Coinsmart is also good if you are looking to e-transfer canadian funds for buying and get setup quick

Trezor for cold storage

Tesla's are in high demand on the resale market, so some users may see it as an opportunity to sell coins and then resell the car and Tesla won't want to sit on that much crypto so they will need to sell it.

So really to me, it's about the float, enough people just hold onto their coins due to not being able to cash out that the available float is lower than the total number of coins.

I used several coin exchanges, but haven't for 5+ years. But that isn't what I'm discussing here. My investments in cryptocurrency over the last three years have all been in my TSFA via cryptocurrency stocks. So Questrade .

This doesn't make any sense, sorry. If someone has bitcoin, and wants a fiat currency, they can just sell their bitcoin for that currency. Why would anyone want to take another step and buy a Tesla first, just to go through the hassle of then selling the Tesla to get the currency they wanted in the first place. Selling a car isn't just a few clicks on the keyboard, you need registration and insurance to drive it off the lot, then you need to sell your now used car and there's no way you're getting the same price as the dealership once you take possession. It makes no sense to do this.

And the reason Tesla is taking bitcoin for their cars isn't to then get rid of the bitcoin, it's because they want more bitcoin.

Buying coins with fiat is easy, selling is not

You obviously don't know what you are talking about...it takes 30 seconds to sell crypto on a good exchange. Maybe 5+ years ago this was the case, not now.

This is an overly aggressive post, with claims with no substance, welcome to my ignore list.
