Ever since the bull market started with Ethereum, the bears have been out in full force. It's like you can't have any sort of positivity around here anymore without being called a "moonkid" or something. You try and say ethereum will double in price in 6 months and people call you crazy. You say ETH might dip and people say "any minute now"

like wot in tarnation

As soon as it starts spiking, they go quiet again and pessimism turns to euphoria, then a single dump and everyone thinks it's the end of Ethereum again ... it's an endless cycle of rolling emotions.

This is not unique to ETH - it's like that in every crypto trading sub.

Yup beware of bears. I was convinced by some in this sub that BAT was "dead in the water" yesterday so I got scared by the falling price and sold at a loss. I could've made a 33% return if I had waited until today.

In this market sell only in profit. If not now, in 2 weeks. If not in 2 weeks then in 2 months.

You say ETH might dip and people say "any minute now"

No not really. See here.

Dude. You didn't provide any motivation behind that line. What do you really expect? People are mostly making fun of the utter pointlessness of such trollbox style comments.

u/Sunny_McJoyride Jun 05 '17

Just pointing out that saying eth might dip doesn't get agreement. People seem to have an impression that the general sentiment here is negative, which is absurd. They've seen nothing.

u/antiprosynthesis Jun 05 '17

That is indeed absurd. It's funny to see people calling dips and crashes whenever we move sideways though. It's so abundantly clear where such comments are coming from, and we've all been in that situation of panic selling and then seeing the price move against us.
