I just bet against a no cryto believer friend.

He doesnt believe BTC will go any higher than todays price.

He will give me 0.05BTC on 7th January 2019. (no matter the conversion rate) if bitcoin price will be any higher than $16,963.20USD (right now price)
I will give him $5000USD if the price will be any lower than $16,963.20USD


Am I fucked?

Honestly, bitcoin may see some sort of crazy resurrection sometime later this year. A resurrection great enough to make alt-believers keep a decent percentage of their portfolio in bitcoin again (just like the old times). I think you'll be ok anon. Stupid gains are awaiting you this year though, so $5000 won't be much to you at that point.

You'll be fine. Even after the next pump later this year BTC will regress to a higher floor. It always does.

>>6023850
Whoever took themselves all out of BTC will be sorry a few months from now. It always happens. Every 3-6 months BTC has a good pump and then regresses a bit, then does it all over again.

So if it ever goes above todays price you win or are you waiting to see the price in a year? because if the former your friend might have brain damage.

Really the only real threat to bringing BTC down and keeping it down right now is XRP. If Ripplenet gets widespread adoption by the financial institutions, BTC will be ground into the dirt. If this happens, it doesn't happen this year, so you should be safe. Right now money tansfer services and banks are somewhat wary of crypto because regulations have not yet caught up with the tech (as is always the case with emerging technology).

Did you factor in inflation? $16,963.20 today is worth more than $16,963.20 in one year.

OP listen to this guy.

Pick a primary exchange. Pick a backup exchange in case your primary is out of business by 2019. Alternatively, pick the CMC price (but still have a backup).

Pick a specific time of day. Make sure you indicate timezone.
