It's not just a crypto meme to call price dips a sale. Same language has been used on stocks prior to the existence of crypto.

Exactly, and is a little ironic because when it really does go on sale, people become afraid to buy meanwhile deep pockets accumulate.

In what sense can it ever go on "sale" in the context you keep using? It has no RRP.

Sale in the context I am referring to is comparing to previous prices and future (expected) prices.

You're clearly really into this planet destroying ponzi scheme. You keep referring to something as a "sale". You have no way to compare the current price to the future price. Perhaps you portfolio is still tulip/beanie baby heavy too.

Bitcoin last year required something in the region of 134TWhs to maintain, for 4 transaction per second (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29769892). Some nuclear pose stations generate over that in 20 years of production. The world is burning, but so long as you get more people to join the ponzi scheme, who cares, right, it's a "sale".

I am long BTC, ETH among other things. No tulips though.

So, just the stuff that's really bad for the environment. Gotcha

I've made money through 2020 and 2021 with oil and uranium too. It offset the losses from my solar stocks.
