20% BTC, 30% disruptive stocks (which outperform Bitcoin,) 10% Gold, 10% ETF's, 30% Options. No way would I EVER go more that 20% BTC.

Jesus Christ dude, no I don't. Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm. No other president has EVER done this shit. Other Republicans like dick Cheney have blatantly abused their positions to enrich their companies. Your question is the projection that the right uses to justify their literal treason and lies. "Well if Obama was also a rapist, he would have raped E Carol too! "Well if Obama was a traitor, he would've also tried to overthrow democracy on Jan 6" "Well if Obama was also Trump, he would've been divorced twice and had kids with three women too!" Like no dude, Trump is literally a traitor and racist and rapist and shitty person, and claiming the Democrats "would do it too " is absolute nonsense.

I personally didn’t even entertain the thought of hardware wallets. Just to think, if I were to EVER lose that tiny little keychain charm (which is likely to happen to anybody), I would lose access to all my funds? No thanks. I’d rather make a cold wallet on an air-gapped device, that way I can write down my private key as many times as I feel comfortable doing so (it takes a damn while lol). Also, if you have people you 1000% can trust with your life, sharing copies of private keys can add security as well as a Plan B if you were to lose your copy(ies). For example, me and my brother both have cold wallets, and are both in possession of each others’ private keys, as well as our own. Always remember to NEVER STORE your PRIVATE KEY DIGITALLY! Write it down, engrave it in metal, etc.. NEVER take a picture of your keys even if you’re going to delete them right away!

Don't EVER buy into alt coins when they're near their ATH. The only way I would build a diversified ALT coin portfolio is if the alt's were all down nearly 90% from their ATH.

Congratulations, you're part of the 95% that willingly crush their soul with debt for the entire duration of their life, while they "plan" for "rEtIrEmEnT". Because that juicy pension sure is going to be wonderful when you've got 5 years left to live. By the way, did you know that the word "mortgage" is derived from an 'ol latin term that means "death pledge"? I'm not blaming you, OP. Neither am i saying that you're participating in this. But I swear to God, I see this all the time. I'll never EVER understand this mentality of drowning in debt through mortgages, car loans, credit card debt, college loans. Particularly in the US. What the fuck is wrong with people living worse of than slaves, hoping that their chains are broken at 65 - 70. I mean, holy shit.

IAmSomewhatDamaged

Haven’t been on Reddit in almost a week, so I’m getting back to you way late… but HELL YEAH man. I would say I make slightly above average when it comes to my job, so I never had thousands to toss at BTC, but the best thing I EVER did was say “fuck it” and throw a couple grand at BTC. I did it in December 2022 when price was like $16k or $17k I think. I just remember being VERY reluctant to do it, but a buddy (younger guy) from work convinced me to do it. I THEN set up a weekly DCA almost immediately— anywhere from $30 a week to $50 a week depending on how good I was on bills. I might have canceled/renewed it at points along the way. I have close to 1/3 of a coin now, with a $33k average price. It’s not much, but I am fucking PROUD of myself for sticking to it and not giving up. If I didn’t set up that weekly auto-buy, I’m positive that I wouldn’t have been buying it NEARLY as often (or even at all possibly). Anyway, you are absolutely right about getting more confident/comfortable when you’re up. Downward price movement doesn’t bother me at all anymore. I wish you the best of luck bromosapien 🚀

Hahaha good for you. Don't worry, it will go down, see my previous comments about the free month of Coinbase paid tier and wait to activate until you see it starts crashing, which it absolutely does and will on occasion. Also, think of this as a 30 year investment minimum or something to give to your kids or eventual kids. The one thing we all agree on is that you do NOT EVER SELL. Live under a bridge and survive on the drippings from the ceiling before you ever sell. And don't get suckered into ANY OTHER CRYPTO. It's 100% garbage without exception.

You can either have the key to your box of toys or allow someone you trust to hold the key for you. The benefit of having someone else hold the key is that you don’t have to worry about losing the key and NEVER getting access to your tows EVER AGAIN. If that scares you - to NEVER be able to play with your toys EVER AGAIN - then let someone else trustworthy hold your the key. If, however, you ABSOLUTELY believe and know that YOU will NOT lose your key, then you can hold onto your own key and will always be able to play with your toys. It’s up to you. How safe is the key in your own hands?

nugymmer

Well I must admit, not buying Ethereum in 2015 when I had the chance to buy 10,000 of them was my biggest fail in crypto. I'd known about Bitcoin for a couple years beforehand right after it made $1000 per coin, and I'd been lured into Quarkcoin with a foray of about $3k. If I'd bought BTC at $600 and bought 5 of them, those alone would be worth $500k, and that is without ever doing anything with them. If I'd exchanged those for 10k Ethereum, today I'd be pretty wealthy. Got blindsided by Quarkcoin, got cold feet, and instead of one success leading to a string of successes, I had one failure leading to fear, not learning, and not getting to anywhere near, not even 1% of my potential wealth, likely generational wealth. There is nothing worse than not ONLY not gaining generational wealth due to your own stupidity, but ALSO having fucked up health. The second one is worse, but it compounds the first, and the two in perfect (actually, perfect isn't the word, nightmarish is more appropriate) synchronicity make for a terrible human experience and one that I may have to spend years living down. I might forgive myself for not realising my hearing was going down the drain slowly (albeit in sudden episodes) and my memory was going to crap, but I will NOT EVER forgive myself for being so stupid as I was in 2014 and 2015. Living and learning, but the lesson has come far too late. TL;DR:- Humans make mistakes, but these mistakes will haunt me until the day I take my last breath (which, as far as I'm aware, isn't too far off if the disease I'm currently dealing with keeps getting worse).

2peg2city

They have already stated they will have to sell BTC to cover the coupon payments on their bonds next year. You can bet your ass professional traders will be building postitons to exploit the headline "STRATEGY REQUIRED TO SELL BTC FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER TO SERVICE DEBT" by chart painting, then bots and panicking retail joins it, suddenly strategy needs to sell to remain solvent.... it's going to be a bloodbath

Emergency-Warthog-56

If you have a way to buy it at 16 then that's good. Starting that young with Bitcoin and already wanting to Long Term hold is great also. You need to learn about Cold Wallets and Seed Phrases. Understand their importance when it comes to storing your Bitcoin. Learn what to do and what not to do with your Seed Phrase. Never ever ever give that to anyone EVER!

Choice-Biscotti8826

If bitcoin never sees a bear market again, if it assumes that position of dominance and continuous growth, then we will know it has been compromised. The digital gold has already taken the stock market by storm, swept into companies and now the final frontier is the Government. The essential enemy of bitcoin and the nemesis of all true HODLers is accepting bitcoin, not because it wants to profit from it, because it wants to control it. They are accumulating bitcoin en masse, driving it into centralized exchanges, centralized mining pools. No coincidence, as the halving picks up steam, the amount of new bitcoin entering the market could become lower than the amount the government will buy or sell. Although they can never control it directly, if they accumulate a critical mass of bitcoins, they could control the supply, and hold the price in their hands. Therefore making it a central currency. Never, EVER sell your bitcoin. Hold it as offline as you can. They’re coming for it.

Correct. By the time $1M gets here, you will hopefully know enough about bitcoin that you won't EVER want sell it. Because $10M will come and you'll be mad you sold. Beside, Bitcoin will slowly just become the money you use. Selling just so you can hold a weaker money is never smart

I was invested in XRP because i believed the hype….after doing research and realizing XRP is priced currently due to HYPE only among other things I took my money out of XRP …..Ripple and garlinghouse are scammers ……XRP has ZERO uses …it is literally a meme coin …no banks will EVER use XRP ……once sales go down , ripple tends to make up stories to keep its volume high …..they will come out and say “big meeting with JP Morgan in September” and everyone will just keep buying more …I personally believe in the end XRP will go down as the biggest scam in all of crypto…unfortunately, it will also bring down a lot of other coins with it for a while ..do not buy on the hype and lies ! DYOR

Emergency-Warthog-56

I just want to add on this, your Seed Phrase (set of different words) is your Holy Grail or Key 🔑 to your wallet. If you store that with anything that goes online, it could be stolen from a hack. Also there are very crafty scammers out there who will try to get you to provide it. Never ever provide that to ANYONE EVER.

nugymmer

None. There will only ever be 21M coins. That's a very strong buying point. Strong SOV point. You can't make this shit up. People don't want to believe this, but BTC will always be top dog. There...is...NO...and there will...be...NO...next BTC. EVER. People don't understand that. And it's they that will lose out. K.I.S.S. principle comes into play here. Simple stuff. Keep It Simple Stupid, always wins in the end...even with the sharemarket. People try to be smart and end up looking really dumb.

AstroRoverToday

Bitcoin isn’t expensive. Anyone can buy it. Its value has increased since its inception more than anything else EVER. How much of it you can afford to buy is directly related to how educated you are (which depends on many, many factors). The best investment one can make is to educate oneself as early as possible. Once you know more than you did before, you will make wiser decisions. Don’t compare yourself to others, only your past self. Strive to always be a better version of yourself. Oh, and make sure to enjoy the journey along the way. Experiences are worth far more than material possessions.

Future_Ad863

Listen to the “When should I sell my Bitcoin” podcast by Guy Swann. The basic take away is that it doesnt make sense to swap better money for worse money. EVER. Why would you? Bitcoin is the end game. The only justifiable reason to sell (if you actually understand bitcoin) is specifically to buy something in which Bitcoin is not accepted as a form of payment. Too many people out here thinking Fiat is the end game.

Classic_Flower_735

I can never understand the bitcoin haters who try to make a huge case for how much money people CAN lose that is how much it can spike then dramatically block but the ONLY people affected by this are people that for whatever reason sell on dips much lower than where they got in. Yes gambling on ANYTHING is risky and also investing money on volitile long term investments is foolish if you might need the money anytime soon.....other than that? Investing bitcoin long term is likely the smartest investing a person can even do! There is no valid argument against it based on it's performance since inception...yes gold is less volitile but has returned practically nothing compared to bitcoin since 2011. It is almost pathetically funny to hear otherwise very intelligent successful men bashing bitcoin as a ponzy scheme. Bill Gates comes to mind as well as Warren Buffet and also gold bug Peter Shiff listening to these three you would avoid bitcoin like the plague but I cant see HOW they are honestly concluding what they conclude it makes zero sense. There are ONLY ever EVER be a be 21 million bitcoin and many of those are already lost forever "burned" basically for one reason or another. Every year the asset is adopted by more and more individuals, corporations, citcys,states, retirement portfolios, hedgefunds, central banks and even NATIONS! This is NOT Tulips or Beany Babies it is basically a type of hard currency asset that can not be controlled by ANY bank or country beyond whatever effect their share of it is....I mean sure if someone owned a million bitcoin and deliberately dumped them on the market all at one time that WOULD affect the price short term maybe even sparking some additional selling.....but as with anything valuable and desirable like gold for instance it seems there are ALWAYS loads of potential buyers primed and just waiting for such dips to BUY so a dump like that for all anyone knows could actually create a little gold rush fever and produce a new all time high for all anyone knows....the stuff really is "digital gold"....the best way to buy it or any long term asset they say is "dollar cost averaging" which is to just keep buying small amounts all the time as you never know for a fact what is high and what is low so you average in lowering your risk of buying too high and increasing chance of buying some at a "good price" Of course were there a big crash in bitcoin of 40 or 50% price dump? That might be worth taking the chance and going "all in"

Hardware wallets provide a large amount of security by * ensuring your seed and keys NEVER leave the device * funds are transferred where the device is told to transfer them This results in two important things * NEVER EVER enter your seeds or any key to any electronic devide which is not the HW wallet you currently use * ALWAYS check the address you're transferring funds to. The device shows the address for a reason

CoffeeAlternative647

DYOR before jumping into your hardware wallet. I'd recommend you Trezor as it is the most user friendly for starters and its equally secure as the other major brands. I ended up not doing any research and my first hardware wallet was Ledger which I switched to Trezor couple of days after my purchase. Seriously, do you research and try to make up your mind on how it really works before you buy or before you start storing you Bitcoin on it. Hardware wallet device is nothing but a transactions-signer. It does not store your coins inside the device, your coins are into the Blockchain along with the addresses you will generate with Trezor Suite to store and/or transact your Bitcoin. Your hardware wallet will generate a seed-phrase which won't "touch" the internet. The device will generate it for you and you need to sacredly hide. First you will need to type it down on paper but consider make it more resistant and transcribe it to a metal plate stamp (floods, fire, earthquakes happen). This seed-phrase is what you call the private keys to access your wallet in case you lose the device. If you lose your seed-phrase you're screwed and buy a new hardware wallet ASAP. If someone steals your device you're good, if someone steals your seed-phrase you're doomed. **DO NEVER EVER IN YOUR LIFE GIVE YOUR SEED PHRASE TO ANYONE EVEN IF THEY TELL YOU THEY ARE THE POTUS, POPE, TREZOR SUPPORT, COINBASE OR ANY OTHER EXCHANGE SUPPORT. EVERYONE ASKING YOU FOR YOUR SEED PHRASE WILL IMMEDIATELY SCOOP YOUR STASH IN COUPLE OF SECONDS.** Check youtube tutorials from official Trezor channel and try to make up your comprehension about it. After 6 months you're good if you DCA on a daily, weekly, monthly basis and you will eventually be doing more advanced aspects later on, like adding a passphrased wallet and using Sparrow Wallet attached to your own node. Start at the beggining now, you're good with a Trezor hardware wallet + Trezor Suite for start.

Sounds legit, but DO NOT move it anywhere *but* a hardware wallet that YOU hold the keys to (12 or 24 words). Research hardware wallets because, and not to scare you, overall it is not safe to leave Bitcoin on Coinbase long term. Exchanges are 100% uninsured and they do not even have to buy the Bitcoin you gave them money for unless you withdraw it to a hardware wallet and take actual possession of it. **Baby steps though, you are on the right path! Study study study** Also, Jade is a fantastic and very easy to use hardware wallet. I have used a handful of different one and that one is best for beginners. The cool thing is; once its in your wallet **NO ONE CAN EVER TAKE** **IT** from you. Literally no one. Ever. As long as you keep you 12 or 24 words safe and offline at all times.

It certainly is much more than it was in 2009. :) However - even buying a fraction of one is a good idea. BTC has been the best performing asset in human history. 15 years and close to a billion X. Many have kicked themselves for not just putting a few away when they were 10 cents each. What we have to look at now is BTC is starting to hit mainstream. there are ONLY 21 million of them. EVER. No more can be produced and the last one won't be mined for over 100 years. Also we have to consider that a couple of million have been lost permanently because people don't know where that laptop went, or they didn't keep track of their private keys. How many people are on the planet??? 9 BILLION or so? Yup. BTC, especially now that mainstream is adopting, is still a great buy. It is mathematically impossible for it to not continue to hit all time highs. As long as there is crypto, there will be BTC. And all you have to do is wait. The only people that have lost money with BTC are those that sold off in panic mode. HODL. It will get there. It will get back there if it's less than what you bought for. As with ANY investment - also never use your rent money. Always have an investment fund that doesn't bite into your rent and food money. Others that have a similar outlook - ETH, SOL, POL, LINK, AVE, BNB... Coinmarket cap - top ten will be a good bet. There are many meme coins that will do well also. But be careful with those... Most are pump and dump.

It sounds like a scam because it is a fucking scam. It's what we refer to as a "pig butchering" scam where they keep stinging and stinging and stinging and stinging until the victim screams out and just hands over everywhere just to get what they "believe" is "theirs", and the money they had, well it's now all gone. They kept handing over $1000 here and $1000 there and $1000 until they are left broke and destitute. That's what these fucking scammers want. They want the victim to believe that the money is "theirs" when in reality they've got it and are NOT going to EVER give it back.

First time on TrustPilot? The only reason anyone ever goes to TrustPilot or BBB is to complain. They're examples of extreme reporting bias. * Netflix: 1.4 * Apple: 1.8 * Microsoft: 1.2 * Target, Walmart, Amazon: all 1.6 * Binance: 1.4 The really odd one is Coinbase, which has way, way too many 5 star reviews and a 3.9 star rating. No company EVER has 50% 5 star reviews on TrustPilot unless they manipulated reviews. This is an extreme outlier and a huge red flag.

A private key is your unique code to access all funds in that crypto wallet. It’s important to take the necessary steps to protect your private key. If you loose that private key or someone steals it, say goodbye to all your crypto in that wallet. Once you get your Trezor, and set up your wallet, it will generate a code for your wallet. What’s good about these types of cold wallets is that they will generate the private key strictly inside the hardware, not connected to any internet. This is a crucial step to protecting your private key. To store you private key: Once your private key is generated and on the trezor, write it down on paper and store it some where safe, such as a safe or a deposit box. A few pieces of advice: - NEVER EVER SHARE YOU PRIVATE KEY TO ANYONE!!! Regardless if it’s someone personal or someone online, NEVER EVER SHARE IT!! - Never store your private key online. If it’s online and your device gets hacked, they can access your wallet and all your funds. - Buy crypto from a hot wallet and swap into your trezor (cold wallet). This minimizes risk and saves money from fees. (Cold wallet platforms charge more if you buy crypto directly from the platform.) - Be vigilant and recognize scams, grifts, or malicious links. Don’t click on any links you don’t trust, they may have access to your wallet. Never sign any malicious contracts you don’t trust, they may access your wallet. - Always double check transactions and signing contracts. Some contracts can be modified in a way that when you sign it, it can drain those specific coins you signed for or even worse, your whole wallet. Overall, millions of wallets get hacked and it’s not the platform or companies fault. It’s user error. If you can be on top of safety and minimize risk, your chances of getting drained / hacked is minimal. It all starts with the users first and foremost. It’s your responsibility to protect your asset and keep it safe. That’s why it’s called “DeFi”. “Decentralized Finance”, meaning, no one has control over your assets except for the person who has the private key. There’s a saying that’s popular in crypto and it goes: “Not your keys, not your coins” Stay safe my friend.

Also, the ONLY place you would EVER need to use your seed phrase is if you lost your Nano and had to buy another one, and possibly connecting your Nano to a new phone/computer to sync an instance of Ledger Live with your hardware (not 100% sure on that, it's been a while since I did that).

Top_Bluejay_9483

If you have a cold wallet transfer it. Never question the security of your funds. A small amount of bitcoin today could be worth a lot tomorrow and will be worth an unbelievable amount in the future. Im also a parent and I would suggest investing in a plate for your seed phrase. Look up seed phrase storage for a metal plate. NEVER EVER SHARE YOUR SEED PHRASE WITH ANYONE!! EVER EVER EVER

LimitAlternative2629

It depends, if it's an old address of the same wallet it remains active. If it's an address of an older wallet you need to regain access. For that you either need the wallet or the seed words for reconstruction. You might need an additional passphrase if you did Set that up. If you can't remember that, you probably don't need it. NEVER EVER SHARE YOUR SEED WORDS OR YOUR PASSPHRASE ANYWHERE. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OF IT AND DO NOT SPEAK THEM OUT LOUD. ONLY WRITE THEM DOWN BY HAND OR USE A STEEL PLATE.

Satoshi (or whoever has the keys to the corresponding wallets) cannot technically pull the rug as there's a well-balanced control on bitcoin as an ecosystem and network and infrastructure. So a single person or small group simply cannot switch off Bitcoin or manipulate the exchange rates that much. The only thing the owner of the well-known wallets COULD do, would be to put the full amounts on the market in a short timeframe. Would that have an impact on the BTC/Whatever exchange rate? Very likely yes (it is a significant amount which could disrupt the market situation at the point in time). Would it be permanent? Well.. unlikely. It could result in a bear phase (as some stakeholders might loose some trust because they thought, these coins would NEVER EVER get moved) but after a while the market would recover.

It's so strange that no one on this subreddit has EVER asked this question before.

The worst crisis management EVER

This cycle, that's very possible. If he means EVER, that's just silly.

Kevinthecap93

How is giving someone vital advice not helpful or compassionate. Let me say this louder NEVER EVER STORE YOUR SEED PHRASE DIGITALLY! Your wallet will get hacked. Get a hardware wallet then never talk about your BTC simple

Not only should he be added to Mount Rushmore immediately, but it should be completely replaced by all Trump heads. Greatest American President EVER, and by FAR!

" I read everything I could on it before making my first purchase. I bought a ledger a long time ago as it was one of the most secure item to hold my cryptos." False, you didn't read it all. It is very commonly known seed phrases SHOULD NEVER be on any digital device EVER. Pen and paper until you get a metal/titanium plate to hammer in the seed. Sorry this happened to you. File a police report, pray and start anew. Good luck!

I ain't touching nothing but BTC EVER AGAIN, including the stock market

MrRGnome

You've already been proven wrong. I'm not going ten rounds with your employees because you don't understand the merit in not having trusted setups, in not relying on the security of your protobuffer and USB communications, in not relying on an inability to read or manipulate voltage on the USB port. For fucks sake I know when the damn thing is plugged in just from a software context, it opens up all manner of opportunity for social attack including malicious firmware. As I said, the lot of you and your employees should be banned. You are dnagerous and self serving anti-security clowns. Have you ever noticed EVERY OTHER SECURITY EXPERT disagrees with you about air gaps? Again. I'm not for appeals to authority, but you are literally the only people - paid employees shilling a product - that EVER promote this anti airgap idiocy in this industry or any other. That should say something to you, when people have to be literally paid to campaign against this basic security practice. Shame. On. You. You are so goddamn lucky I don't moderate here anymore. Your propaganda deserves to be removed for the harm it causes.

LikenSlayer

BIGGER THAN EVER. 50-100X leverage. You understand I'm making more it dumps. I hope BTC goes to 10 cents

Giano182

Let me say this loudly. Up until now THE WORST BULLRUN (?) WE'VE EVER HAD. a complete joke. +4k from 2021 ath. At today current price we're are up +4k by 2021 ath. This is a joke.

The best SHIT EVER. The best fever matter this country has ever SEEN! It’s GREEN!

hedgedawg69

My opinion: Never, and i mean NEVER EVER, mix digital (besides hardware wallet) and seed. And never ever ever online. Why the huge risk? Its not that google will get hacked, most likely not (but who knows, not me for certain), but your side is way more likely to get compromised. You gain nothing and expose yourself to unnececary risk. With seeds online and secure dont go in the same sentence. Your problem can be fixed with manual, analog sss-encription (just google it and do it by hand). You can split your seed into 3 plates. 1 plate is never enough. Any 2 plates are always enough. Or protect your self with an additional hidden seed word.

ivmo71

Yes...explode with loses. He was absolutely right. "The markets going to boom like no one's EVER seen. Like never before. So much booming like the Black eye peas....boom boom BOOM."

Tvmouth

Proving they have money shouldn't EVER be a discussion or set of accusations...**. not at all, period.** "where is my money?" is answered by pointing to the money. "blah blah blah, nuh uhh!" doesn't impress the FUCKING MARKET...***. dweebs.***

Please don't use all your money EVER! Think about your family and the ppl who care about you.

hank194

Holy fuck this subreddit is actually retarded. This is exactly why none of you will EVER be financially independant. This is literally "I should have bought" when it peaks and "I'm not buying this trash" when it drops. Have fun at your 9-5, wagey.

It's like the video game, Madden NFL curse. ABOUT TO HAVE THE WORSE SEASON EVER!

Haha, I think you're giving them way too much credit. No brand strategist worth a shit would EVER greenlight this. Why isn't there a single crypto with good marketing?

RosieDear

Run from crypto. If you are going to invest, invest. Don't gamble or speculate or EVER think money can come easily.

JSTiuk

I have one small piece of advice don't go back and check the price of the coin you sold. EVER . you'll get a second round of a gut punch if it goes to the moon. I've gone through life and learned everything the hard way so I can relate , it does suck , but now it should never happen again to you. Live and learn . Thank God you didn't lose 20K or 30k you know what I mean, look at the glass half full, you learned a valuable lesson. Also just like the market and just like crypto you cannot predict life so if it was a real out of the blue emergency at least you had that money put away in crypto to help you through it. ✌️

Rent_South

This FUD is ridiculous. If SHA-256 gets broken, the world will have much much larger issues than bitcoin. At least bitcoin can be upgraded to be QC resistant. Banks, military infrastructure etc ? would not be able to react as quickly. Also we don't even know if it will EVER be feasible in practice.

I set a goal to start making profits in 2030. Until then, I'll just buy. #HODL4EVER

Sub 50 k...my dude..bitcoin will never see sub 50k ever..EVER AGAIN.. U CAN TAKE THAT TO THE bank. Unless the network is otherwise compromised.

BraidRuner

''Investment'' the notional act of characterizing a fiat currency purchase of a cryptographically secured ledger location with a flexible valuation attached. Coincidentally Banking the unbanked in Africa are expected to drive adoption because the people who are unbanked collectively have so much value they want to transact that a cryptographic ledger is the logical choice said NOBODY EVER.

Jack Mallers couldn't be ant less important. Just like Scaramucci, Pompliano, Cathie Wood or Jack Dorsey. I swear I'd pay money to never have to see or hear these people EVER again tbh. I just don't want to hear it anymore.

Butterscotch-Over

(Only including this first part so you understand why educating yourself on Bitcoin is paramount) Many believe that Bitcoin has the ability to 500X from here. Now that is out of the way, you need to understand time preference. Don’t trade/leverage bitcoin. Buy Bitcoin with the intention of holding for a minimum of 4 years. Every dime you spend buying bitcoin, imagine it being gone (poof), you no longer have that money for 4 years. Once the 4 years are up, you can make the decision on whether or not you would prefer to keep holding. Hint: at this point, you will be so educated in Bitcoin that you will never want to sell, EVER. Might sound confusing, but you will understand once you understand Bitcoin. This is the best video you can find for newbies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtFOxNbmD38 WELCOME

> I love the way you explain and discuss your opinion, Not opinion. This is factual. It's a well known fact in the financial word, and a fact that's understood and well explained by economic science. > you don't believe in any kind od trading in any market? It's not « **me** », it's science... We know this is the case, we've looked at the numbers and they clearly show it's the case, and we understand **why** it's the case. What crypto does is not new, it's been going on for well over a century and it's been extensively studied. Crypto "bros" typically have zero actual knowledge of economic science and no interest in learning, but the science is still there... > « Active U.S. day traders underperformed a value-weighted index by an average of 10.3% annually » > « Studies show that only 1%-3% of day traders are consistently profitable, with the vast majority losing money. For example, a study of the Brazilian market found that 97% of day traders lost money over 300 days » * https://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/053115/average-rate-return-day-traders.asp * https://www.currentmarketvaluation.com/posts/the-data-on-day-trading.php > « In Taiwan, less than 1% of traders achieved positive abnormal returns year-over-year » * http://www.irabf.org/upload/journal/prog/2.%20Final%20-%20The%20Profitability%20of%20Day%20Trading%20and%20the%20Characteristics%20of%20Traders%20%20Evidence%20from%20the%20Taiwan%20Futures%20Market.pdf > « Research in various markets, including Taiwan and the U.S., indicates that the aggregate net returns of day traders are negative, even before accounting for transaction costs » > « Many traders exhibit behavioral biases like overconfidence and the disposition effect (selling winners too early and holding losers too long), which further reduce profitability » * https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4977485 * https://faculty.haas.berkeley.edu/odean/papers/Day%20Traders/Day%20Trading%20and%20Learning%20110217.pdf > « High-frequency trading algorithms dominate markets, making it increasingly difficult for individual day traders to compete » * https://www.currentmarketvaluation.com/posts/the-data-on-day-trading.php Probably the most important: > « A large number of unprofitable traders continue day trading despite recurring losses, often due to overconfidence or unrealistic expectations » This is all very well established fact ... There are tons more studies on this, and they all show essentially the same things. > and based on what you say all all the crypto traders are more likely a gamblers and all the copy trading on the platforms are trash or gambling? Your words, there's nuance you're missing, but mostly correct. > but when I saw spot crypto trading and I see people make profits and make good results so I was thinking to join It's all a lie, a con. It's called **selection bias**. They show you the winners, and don't show you the losers. You **hear** from the successful people, but the nonsuccessful people stay silent. And frequently, they'll lie even about the winners. It's **trivial** to look successful without being actually successful, scammers and con-men were doing it before crypto, and they do it inside crypto too. > so I was thinking to join it and copy professional trader but based on what you say I don't know I am really confused It's **very easy**. If somebody had a way to make money reliably like this, they **WOULD NOT SHARE IT WITH YOU**. They would keep it secret. And keep all the money for themselves. They do not need you. The ONLY reason they would EVER share a magic money-making method like copy-trading or WHATEVER the technique is, is if the technique is not really working, and they want some money out of you in **some way or another**. I 100% guarantee you this is some kind of scam. > I saw many videos and traders talks with so much confidence and it is based on study and etc. You are clearly under-educated on the topic of scamming, con-men, and scepticism. **Please** watch YouTube videos that are critical of this and that explain the basics of crypto scams and confidence scams. Watch videos about economics, and about scepticism, and about scams in general (not just crypto). It should be **obvious** to you that somebody wouldn't share a money-making technique like this. If it's not obvious to you, it **CLEARLY** means you are lacking education on this topic (which is fine, we all don't know until we do know... At some point, I knew none of this...) Watch documentaries about this, read testimonies from people who were scammed. All the information is around, it's available. But often, people like you will watch the videos from traders claiming to make lots of money, and not the videos criticizing them, because only one side makes them "feel good". There is a lot of danger here. Do not lose your money. Be careful. Educate yourself. Study. If somebody presents you something that looks beneficial, ALWAYS research the opposite side.
