Watch This Before You Buy Bitcoin 2026

Is Now a Good Time to Buy Crypto?00:00

Is now a good time to buy crypto? Ricky with TechBud Solutions provides a market update. He does not believe in crypto, does not invest in it himself, but supports anyone's right to invest in any speculative asset. With Bitcoin down over 50% from its previous highs of $126,000, he understands why someone might consider the risk-to-reward ratio and want to buy a Bitcoin or two.

Potential Downside and Market Crash Stats00:31

There can be way more downside. A poll shows a 50% probability that Bitcoin drops below $50,000 per coin. $2 trillion wiped out from the crypto market since October 2025 all-time high. Crypto crashes below $64,000 today; BTC hit lows of $60,200. Today saw $1.4 billion in liquidations, comparable to FTX crash ($1.6 billion) and CO crash ($1.2 billion).

Why Liquidations Happen

The one mistake leading to liquidation is leverage. Crypto investors might not want to sell but get forced due to leverage on unregulated platforms. These platforms allow 20x to 40x, even 100x leverage (e.g., Bitcoin whale using 40x). With $10,000 in account, you control 40x more.

Dangers of Leverage and Michael Saylor Example02:00

Leverage is dangerous when it turns against you. Michael Saylor's average purchase price is $76,000. If leveraged, it would be a huge issue. He bought at elevated levels; now in the red with nothing to show after 5-10 years. He uses share offerings from his public company (MicroStrategy) to dilute investors and borrow against shares. Retail investors lack this luxury: buy with cash or leverage.
