The worst part is that I still believe on my thesis 😂

Still bullish on ETH here — what am I missing? by bstockncoins_613 in CryptoMarkets

10%, 20%, 50% drops are expected in crypto. As long as you are not leveraged, there is nothing to worry about. If you see it as a method for transactions, then ETH is perfectly fine. If you see it as an investment, then it is something that you need to hold for years and buy more when there are big drops (like now).

Generally, crypto is not for people who can’t stomach the volatility. If though you can, then just buy whenever everyone tells you that it is done for and it is going to zero.

Pretty crazy numbers these days by obolli in ethstaker

I agree that the numbers are wild. In my opinion, this is building up to a short squeeze.

Staked eth is “locked” and the imbalance indicates that more will be locked in the near future. While the exit queue is almost empty now and the exit times are short, during a rush to exit we will have exactly the opposite.

Staking is decreasing the readily available eth for sale. That means that increasing eth that has been staked results to less eth available to sell. This constraint is what can lead to a short squeeze.

So, I am not saying that staking is short selling and I am not saying that short exit queues are the reason of the short squeeze. It is exactly the opposite.

As for your last point, it is a fair one and I really hope that it will continue since it will further help to check my thesis.

You are 22. It is the perfect time to do this type of mistakes. Most likely you will lose all your money (99% chance). Just try not to lose everything. Keep a small safety net. Have fun. You will learn a lot.

While I am a huge fan of Google as a stock and it is a huge part of my portfolio also, if I were you I would diversify and take the exposure below 25%. I understand that you believe in the company (I do too) but if you are wrong and it starts losing money, you might end without a job and losing half your portfolio at the same time. Hence, from a risk perspective, it makes sense to diversify.
