 | Off the back of my positive feedback from the previous trip down memory lane covering threads from 8-10 years ago, I decided I'd make one based on threads from 2016 to 2018. A time when BTC ran from $450 to just under $20k in a little under two years, to then end in 2018 at around $4k. Trying to keep these posts to user submitted ones rather than news articles. Jan 18, 2016 That's a familiar phrase! Seems as though some things never change. This comment seemed to sum up all the other ones:
but it seems people were convinced (whether speaking technically or wantingly for their own profitable sake is unsure) March 09, 2016 ETH started pricking ears up around this time it seems, along with, of course, unsettled minds on the future for it. Top comment in the thread doubted it:
Whereas many others were convinced, couple examples include:
and
Sep 12, 2016 Was going to try and avoid these but after reading through it seemed as though the Dogecoin trend was still continuing with a multitude of mentions. Other ones outside the usual BTC, ETH and LTC were: Monero, Gridcoin, Syscoin and Dash. Never heard of these myself, wonder how they compare to the coins shilled these days and are more proof of alts dying in bear markets? May 24, 2017 For context: 2017 rally has just started, and the folk were seeing BTC jump from around $900 at the beginning of the year to around $2100 in 5 months or so. Thread includes some Doomsday-esque chapter:
Though some remained vigilant:
There's a lot more emotional stuff in here (as opposed to "TA") and is a good read so not going to copy pasta here. Jun 15, 2017 Lots more of anticipation/nerves/excitement in here induced by the rumours of a crypto-regulation bill. Worth a good read as I feel like we are somewhat in this stage too and don't want to litter this with quotes. Nov 28, 2017 This is midway through the incredible 2017 rally, gaining $2.5k in just one month.
Dec 17, 2017 Huge big green chart of the day going from $18.2k to $20k, lots of upvotes, yet people remained sceptical:
and
Dec 22, 2017 Just under a week after hitting 20k, BTC drops to around 15k.
Around this time the daily discussions started to liven up - mainly with peoples emotional responses to the market(s). Dec 29, 2017 Jan 16, 2018 Even if you weren't in the crypto scene, you probably heard about this. Massive amounts of distraught from one of the fattest crypto ponzi schemes to collapse in front of everyone's eyes as the 'founders' fled the scene.
March 30, 2018 BTC slumping at around $7k, just off the back of a dead cat bounce and people were feeling the pain.
Aug 19, 2018 Top comments are a series of mindfucks:
Aug 21, 2018 Lots of more relatable content to what is going on now, stories of copium, people sharing their portfolio with very NSFW loss porn and lots of people saying they exited at ATH. Oct 15, 2018 The early rumours of Tether and mass panic about it de-pegging to 95 cents.
More threads were popping up too with concerns regarding Tether too. Dec 10, 2018 Bear market had been dire and going on very long. Sadly there isn't a happy end to the 2018 crypto year with a similar intent on how we are currently living: be greedy when fearful or something Take it with a pinch of salt because I wasn't there through the 2018 bear market, but things seemed pretty similar to how they are now. Thought it was quite ironic seeing this post too on A brief history of the 2013-2015 crypto bear market, why "99% of alts die" is misleading. WAGMI. [link] [comments] |
