the next dump could be brutal
For the dumper yes. Who would dump at these prices?
I just market sold 3 BTC @ $465. If this shit continues, I'll double that and then double it again. Then I'll leverage short.
You risk losing all your gains. With leverage, you risk going underwater. Your whole bitcoin experience could be a drain on your wealth. It could turn to a liability. To a total fiasco.
Why this risky behaviour?
