Quadrupling down at this point, right? I feel like this will not end well for him.

Isn't current price of Bitcoin 71000usd?

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 32 points 8 months ago

Yes. It's absolutely insane, and this guy's history with it is doubly insane. Read up a bit and prepare to feel super duper sad for the people in that country.

Buy high, sell low

He started buying at 50k, continued at 20k and it's now 70k fyi

Oh, so buy, buy lower, buy higher? That's the strategy? I guess someone's gotta be on the bottom of the pyramid.
