We've been seeing record highs for the past 4-6 months though. The likelihood of any dip going below the past 6 month low is pretty low in my opinion. Especially with Lightning network, NASDAQ, other large players getting on board. This may be the last time we see $13K.

In your opinion, great. It may be last time we see $13k. Or it may not... So if something has been rising for 6 months, it cannot dip below that point, because of your opinion. Too bad we did not have your opinion in 1929 or 2008 or 2013 (Mt Gox). Would've saved us. How about businesses like Steam ditching Bitcoin support? How about Bitfinex not backing up their fake currency called tether?

And to be clear, I'm not even holding out for a massive dip. I just can't fathom buying it during a clear spike. I want to buy it going down, even if it just goes down from 16k to 10k or 12k, whatever. Normal fluctuations in Bitcoin, really - I just don't want to buy it on the upswing, on principle alone lol.

Are you of the opinion bitcoins development is done? User adoption has skyrocketed and far surpassed expectation. The first ever Lightning Network transaction happened today. Bitcoin is still early technology and it will take time to developers a p2p secure digital form if cash. Ethereum, the supposed answer to bitcoins problem has just recently began to see the exact same problem. Why? Because of a dumb kitten game…

"The first ever Lightning Network transaction happened today". Do you have a source for this where I can read more?

Did my own research. They're further along than I thought.
