Have been employing DCA on this one, not huge money but it should never be huge money as per money management rules. Bitcoin, Ethereum and the entire cryptocurrency market has taken a 2017-2018 move down in dollar terms, but not by percentage terms. A good time to buy a little bit of everything is right now. There is no guarantee that we don't go down more, especially over the weekend, but there is also a chance at a bounce back to the north end of the range; as such, bitcoin-adjacent stocks such as HIVE will be relatively correlated with the price of Bitcoin. Also added a few shares of the BTCC ETF as well. I don't think I need to point out that everything is a bit oversold on balance and we are due for a bounce. In fact, in the time that I bought and am composing this, BTC moves closer to 48,000, about 600$ up. Time will tell.
With instruments like HIVE, QBTC/U, and BTCC/U (/U = USD denominated), I advise using a tax shelter, and at the next bull run peak (could be years away) to sell these, but hodl BTC for the duration. I could see a bear market happening between now and then. Target would be BTC at 300K+. These, if still correlated would have gone about 5-10x if correlation is maintained, but some growth at the very least. At this price, your risk/reward on both is fairly decent for small money. Then you have fiat in your tax shelter as opposed to selling BTC which could theoretically continue higher and something to pass on with an inheritance, or you can cash out completely. It is all about options. My opinion, sit on BTC/ETH and possibly a few others, collect a yield if you can via staking and or services like Blockfi.
