This period do not encourage trading or investment but at the same time when price is down is good opportunity to buy cheap and when its explode you will gain it. Nothing is lost in bitcoin, those holding for long now are the great benefactors but if you buy this period is more safer.
If I have money now, I would buy half of bitcoin because in next three months it will double the current price. This is real because it always occur this way after 5 years remember in 2011 and 2017 from the market charts and caps. And this year will break more even.
I think we need to buy before its too late im full of regrets because i also one of the newbies who afraid of investing in crypto, untill i read some message that says no one will loss if they don't sell at loss and i think this saying is true, if we buy bitcoin in 2017 we have a lot of downtrend from year 2018 to 2020 until btc rise up to 60k$ in year 2021 if im not mistaken, so if we still hold that time very big profit are really waiting.
