You really believe that? Alts with piss poor tokenomics, with unlock schedules, and all that other shit, yeah, I invested in those. Want to trade places and we can swap my alts for your BTC? I didn't think so. Forget alts. For your OWN sanity.

Ah but when Bitcoin hits a million? Then the lowly Satochi is an entire PENNY in value and so worthy to stand on it's OWN on the exchanges! THEN I will feel like I have something! Hundreds of Sats! not some silly number on the wrong side of a decimal point...which makes me feel idk LESS than a whole human being

Because it's literally the biggest ripoff of all time. The "Federal Reserve" (Fed) is neither "Federal" (it's not a part of the US government) nor is it a "Reserve" (it just adds zeroes to balances in computers, for most of the fiat that's issued). This name is a straight-up 1984 "New Speak" term for this collective of private banks to gain official-like credibility. The biggest scam is when the US Treasury sells bonds (Treasury Bills) and the Fed buys those bonds on the secondary market, using "money" that they invent out of thin air (it's not money they have/own - it's never their own money - it's invented money and called Quantitative Easing). These purchased bonds end upon the Fed's balance sheet and the Treasury (we, the US taxpayers) then have to pay interest on these bonds. The Fed takes this interest that's paid by the Treasury and the Fed takes off typically 3-5% as an "operating expense" of the 12 private reserve banks and board, and an additional < 1% "statutory dividend" for member banks, so typically the Fed only returns about 95% to 98% of that interest back to the Treasury. In other words, for doing NOTHING, these private member banks are skimming 2-5% of that interest off of money they "lent" to the Treasury, which was money they INVENTED and did NOT OWN in the first place. And we the public are the ones that are paying these damned private banks this ripoff scam fee, year after year.

Since everyone is being an aš§ instead of offering advice and help... Top rated and most trusted: https://www.cryptohopper.com/ https://3commas.io/ Platform with built-in bots: https://www.pionex.com/ Webull works well for following specific individuals. It also allows you to use fake cash to practice trading stocks with real companies. I would recommend that to practice... As always DO THOROUGH AND DETAILED research. Shit coins are not for HODLing. They're for day trading. You have to be actively watching multiple charts and data sources. Be prepared to lose whatever is put in. Do not gamble more than you/she can afford to lose just in case something tanks or rug pulls. Make sure she understands never to share her wallet keys or passwords WITH ANYONE. Write it down on paper. It's too easy to use AI as a hacker to identify pass phrases saved on phones. No pictures, no screenshots, no Google passwords. Paper or metal passphrase key. I only put on an exchange what I'm actively trading with and keep the rest in a separate hard wallet. Please make sure she understands all the risks and the prevalence of scammers. Let her know no exchange will reach out to her if something happens, if they do DO NOT click any links or share any information. Recently since the coinbase hack I've been getting messages telling me to click here for help... all of that shit is fake. Even when I trade on other platforms I occasionally will get a text telling me my wallet is comprised. Also... most don't say this up front... to use bots like that you usually have to pay a monthly or yearly fee. Some up to USD 1,000 or more per year to automate and mimic top traders... you have to count on that fee and be able to make more than what you spend. Unless she's a real die-hard she does not want to buy high and sell low! I follow market trends when investing in stocks and crypto. Social media and politics play a big roll in today's society. For example, during Covid, I imagined the companies that could potentially benefit from customers locked down at home... such as Netflix, Moderna (bought at $17 and sold at $300) DoorDash, and so on. What companies would lose out... such as travel industries like cruise lines and airlines and bought them low to hold for the future... ****THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE OF ANY KIND. THIS IS MY OWN OPINION AND PERSPECTIVE. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. INVEST RESPONSIBLY. DO NOT INVEST MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE, NO INVESTMENT GUARANTEES A RETURN, ANY INVESTMENT CAN END IN TOTAL LOSS OF FUNDS. THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.****

As a Digital Artist I completely disagree. I'll start off by saying that I've never launched an NFT project, so I'm not trying to protect the industry or anything haha. But as an artist, I personally work fully in the digital realm. I make 2D & 3D stills and animations. Drawing with a pencil & painting were never things I was good at, but when it comes to making art on the computer my brain just gets it. So basically, all of the artwork I have ever sold and made money off of was digital. All the art I've sold has not been NFTs as they were generally made for a content creator or businesses in Web2. I make the art, I send them the files, done. BUT in the real art world (the one where rich people go to auction houses and bid) there hasn't really ever been an in for Digital Art because of the ownership issue. No one wants to buy a print of digital artwork, they want to own the real thing. Now I don't know if NFTs in their current form is the answer. I don't like the idea that the NFT is actually just a receipt of the transaction and the art is stored elsewhere. But the idea that you can OWN a piece of digital art is not stupid in the slightest. It's would be massive for the entire digital art industry and create a lot of openings for digital artists. Unfortunately with NFTs and the crypto community since they were treated as scams, all the bad art made it to the top lol.

There are all sorts of companies and services that help facilitate estate planning specifically regarding bitcoin (that you don’t have to give custody of your coins to) that involve multi-sig tech, multiple partial keys that have to be put together with all the others (all the kids get a chunk of the key, etc) and all sorts of other detailed planning just like any other asset. Owning stocks is different than owning Bitcoin itself. There may be a lot of “paper Bitcoin” out there involving these ETFs and I for one would way rather have my OWN Bitcoin rather than going these guys have all the Bitcoin they claim to. Just look at all the companies that have pulled the rug out and collapsed for these exact reasons. Anyway, to each their own, but self custody is the way that Satoshi intended this thing to work, and he was right. I’ll follow that pathway…

tungfa

“custodial platform “ - as u do not mention the name i can only imagine ; ) hold u own keys / BTC - do NOT trust anybody and specially not pages that hold coins for u ! Buy a TRZOR (hardware wallet), its like 70 $ bucks and u are really your OWN bank and do not have to stress over some “custodial platform “ if they give u your coins when u want or really need them !

Well I was told that the Trezor wallet holds the crypto, but when you sell it, many people recommend transferring it to an exchange (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, etc) and then selling it through there. Those exchange platforms are typically connected to social security number. Like I said, none of us are well versed in crypto or how any of it works. Which is why I reached out here. But from what I understand now, I guess if he decides to sell he can move everything from the Trezor wallet into his OWN exchange account under his own social security number, and sell at that point. I just don’t know how the taxes and all works, if he would just pay long term capital gains tax on the profit.

Dont get fooled into the ALT trap. There can only be one. BTC. I initially bought 8 btc in early 2017. Squandered it down to basically nothing by 2022 in leveraged alt gambles. Just stack sats. DO NOT BUY INTO ALT MANIA AT YOUR OWN RISK! Best of luck and welcome to the club!

sell at 130 K, keep your coin on YOUR OWN WALLET. i can show you how to make your own, protected offline fortress if you're willing to pay. if you have a serious ammount of cash it'll be worth it. (over 150k) I have my own offline bitcoin core wallet that I connect to with my online node. essentially i made my own trezor hardware wallet without having to use trezor / ledgers servers. i controll my own coin totally. without 3rd party involvement

Electronic_Law1470

Learn about self-custody and then self-custody your Bitcoin so that you can truly own it. Trust me DONT NOT GET RID OF YOUR BITCOIN BUY AND HOLD IN COLD STORAGE WHERE YOU TRULY OWN IT AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR SEED PHRASE BY BUYING A STAMP SEED OR BLOCKSTREAM METAL PLATE. Thats a great solid way to start

DeaderthanZed

This doesn’t make any sense the entire point of Bitcoin was that it can’t not be censored no government can control your access to your funds or control what you spend it on. That assumes that you ACTUALLY CONTROL YOUR OWN WALLET. Which you don’t. Not your keys, not your crypto. You got scammed years ago. There is zero chance the $35k is real it’s called pig butchering. Nobody would ever need to send $1,000 to verify identity you can send $1. The other supposed cases you know of people getting their money back are fake. If you really want to buy crypto then don’t use a middleman (especially since you apparently did zero lateral research to verify authenticity there is no website or social media accounts for “safemoon reserve.”) Set up YOUR OWN WALLET. Safely store your own private key/recovery phrase on paper somewhere where nobody can find it. Then you will actually be invested in crypto.

SUPAH_ACE

See the problem most crypto traders don’t realize is that assets on an exchange means you don’t own 100% of those assets. A wallet on an exchange is a “custodial wallet”. That means, the exchange can do whatever they see fit with your coins. If they think it’s fraudulent, they have every right to take it from you. CEX’s are good for beginners but for long term, you don’t know if the exchange will survive or not. It’s far fetched but can be a reality. Look at ByBit, a very popular CEX. They got hacked and lost over $1.5 billion dollars in 2025. The user data also got leaked. KuKoin got hacked for $254 million. These CEXs are not bulletproof proof. If they get hacked, good luck recovering your funds. That alone for me makes me stay away from CEX’s. Once crypto is lost, scammed, or hacked, it’s lost. There is no way to recover the assets. By transferring to a cold wallet, you are using a “non-custodial” wallet. That means you fully OWN and CONTROL your assets. Using a cold wallet storage, the private keys are generated offline, minimizing risks of hacks. Sure, you may loose a bit on gas fees but it’s worth it for safety. If you don’t care about safety, then by all means do what you want. But in the crypto world, taking these necessary precautions will save you a BIG, BIG hassle. Every hack, scam, and grift all comes from user error. Best to educate yourself and be vigilant. No platform or exchange is responsible for your crypto. ITS UP TO YOU to protect and manage your assets.

Not a wale by any stretch of the imagination. But I do owe my financial security to Bitcoin. For thirty five years I tucked away my small but steady savings in the stock market - mutual funds and a few individual stock picks. Microsoft after its IPO, Apple when Jobs came back, Amazon in 2004. 8 did ok. Better than inflation. Annually, on the advice of my great uncle who founded a cooperative bank, I would buy a small amount of metal as a hedge against inflation. My strategy was what Uncle John told me - consistency. I listened. I work in technology. In 2010 I read about blockchain and Bitcoin. It was intriguing. I told some folks, including Uncle John’s grandchildren that it had the potential to disrupt on a scale of the microchip or the internet. I one or two listened. Most didn’t. For four years. Mostly to see if it could be hacked. Finally. In 2014 I put $2000 in the “Noble Coin” as I call it. Today that purchase is worth almost as much as my house. And I bought a similar dollar amount every year. My motto. Has been: “We OWN Bitcoin. We don’t SELL Bitcoin”. However, that sort of changed in the last two years as I started preparing for retirement. And I started mining. I buy miners via my hosting service and run them to provide my adult children with a passive guaranteed basic minimum income. I sold 2 coins to buy the first 10 ASICS. Our mining ops have hit a scale that means we can mine for perhaps another 15 years. I set up a routine that allows me on a monthly basis, buy my children’s monthly mining reward share from them. This provides them a minimum basic dollar income while still actually keeping the asset and growing the asset base. Soon I plan to explore ways of accruing yield by staking and other ways to put Bitcoin assets to work. And it’s still early days. And Bitcoin is still way under priced. Bitcoin Market Cap is at a current level of $ 1.676 trillion up 33.33% a year ago. If Bitcoin reaches 10% of global market its market cap a single Bitcoin would be valued at $1.2 million. My assessment. Bitcoin levels the financial playing field. Like nothing has in perhaps the entire history of mankind.

Imagine losing something, and then as a result, its gone. wow. revolutionary. just ground-breaking. cutting-edge. Why are people like this. Why do they apply dishonest reasoning like this in order to prevent themselves from improving THEIR OWN lives. At this rate, the RICH n POWERFUL don't need to invent secret societies or 'illuminati' to keep us poor. With geniuses like these walking around, we can just 'hurt ourselves in our confusion' like a pokemon. The truth is that many poor people keep themselves poor by their small-minded thinking n pride! shame.

BraidRuner

As in all things you need to answer the question HOW MUCH is enough for ME? Do you want to OWN a % of the worlds wealth? Buy Bitcoin and then buy more...because...its the way the world is going to move value.

Happyeverydaything

Then in that case Mexico, India and African nations should have achieved the same level of rapid growth as China as the world outsourced to these nations as well. But they didn't. America became the wealthiest country precisely because it's able to outsource, and with China's nationalistic values, literal blood and sweat, unbelievably high productivity and efficiency, churned out goods for America at record speeds and volumes, and USA sold them at 1000X profit margins, making the top 1% ridiculously rich, and Americans are able to enjoy higher quality of lives getting more while paying less. Over the years, China saved and saved like hell, reinvested into education, infrastructure and advanced manufacturing technologies, and now became the world second largest economy through their OWN hardwork... While America sleeps away, and now all of a sudden, the World is ripping America off?? America's downfall is America's own doing. Blame no one else.

flavourantvagrant

I agree on the Gradient thing. Some things can definitely get taken more easily. No one is gonna take away your underwear with holes because you hodled too hard…but they might take your gold if they know where it is etc. It’s a dumb example but you could actually be pretty sure you OWN those underwear even more than the gold 😂 . Case closed! I think spoilage has some overlap but maybe it’s kind of a separate awesome facet 

JustStopppingBye

Yes and do you know who runs and operates Swift? The banks themselves and the G10 central banks run it. Banks are ADAPTING to use blockchain, as seen with the link I posted. The banks will strengthen their OWN system to use blockchain. Banks don’t need ripple anymore. You can achieve the same speed using tokenized assets and any L1. The banks figured this out years ago.

130 x (just in case, that means mupltiply) 1.3 = (just in case, that means equals) 169k.

My source as I've said put that in the top 5% but a you've said before to me "makes no difference"......my position is still true and you've dug your own hole.

Posted about Coinbase pre-listing their OWN COIN below $DOGINME I have no reason to endorse this other than follow the money usually wins. A shit coin? Probably. But it’s Coinbase’s shit coin that they just put a crown on. Would they possibly let this fail?? I wish this was a bullish market in which you could cleverly invest in clever projects and win. But we are in a zone in which you must find avenues to build Fiat in order to make those sorts of investments moving forward. Follow Coinbase lead! $doginme was that

Crawwarch

I hate the manipulation of the the CEXs. Hate it. But in a market when each dip seems like a deepfake…. Coinbase just put THEIR OWN coin on the fast track that more legitimate coins are lobbying for… I know nothing about $Doginme and don’t care to become dumber “learning” about it but yeah, much as I’d rather sink the 1K into $ondo // Coinbase ain’t launching its own bag to fail. I am a doginme bag holder

CedarAndFerns

What if said lendors are creating their OWN strategic bitcoin reserves in order to combat their own deficits and dollar debasement?

DudleyStoks

I guess so. I think you and I have a very very different philosophy on taxes and paying your fair share. I, personally, believe the strong should be lifting up the weak. I am someone who likes to offer grace and extend my hand to a stranger who needs help. I don’t personally believe that everyone coming over the border is some blood-lusting, deranged lunatic. Some of ‘em, sure. But not all of them. I actually have a lot of thoughts and ideas on how to better secure the border and handle undocumented immigrants. As far as taxes go: paying taxes is apart of living in the modern world. If you wanted to, there is nothing stopping you from moving to the Alaskan wilderness and living up there. There is nothing stopping taxes, no woke, not much of anything. OR you could live with the rest of society in the modern world and enjoy all of the opportunities and amenities afforded to you but to do so, you have to pay your fair share. I am absolutely down to examine taxes, and cut unnecessary taxes. Like my car excise tax? What’s that bullshit? I even paid my car off— I OWN that bitch. Anyways, taxes have actually affected my life in a tangibly good way. My states healthcare is free for people under a certain income bracket. I was a couple years ago after being laid off and I was able to still get therapy, go to both the doctor and the dentist, and not pay a dime for any of it. After that, my state offers a program for people who live in my state to attend community college *for free.* this is built on the backs of a sport gambling tax, weed sales tax, and a 4% millionaire tax. What can I say. If these are the “ravages of socialism” consider me ravaged baby. My intro to python coding class is really indoctrinating me, ya know? Anyways…

It means DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH

DingleberryDelightss

I just answered your question. 1. I answered this like twice. Country X isn't holding Y currency, it's getting rid of it. It's selling Y's currency, SELLING. When most people buy and sell Bitcoin, they sell the currency of the foreigner who purchased from them, and get paid out in their OWN currency. Not sure how to make this more clear. 2. Dude, you almost had this one too. You even said that the country would be forced to print more money to buy the Bitcoin, because their country would have no currency left. But let's say they needed to get the money back somehow, they would need to sell products they produce to get that money back, as their products get bought by other people with their currency, they will have a supply issue, and those products will increase in price, and INFLATE. Aka, their currency will get devalued. 3. Basically all your "complex logic" relies on you thinking Bitcoin is something it isn't. Once you sell your ledger position, no one owes you anything to get that position back. Go ahead and buy a shitcoin from someone who bought it for 100k and now it's worth 1 cent. No you say? But it's an IOU. But Bitcoin is different! No, it's not. It was just the first shitcoin to come along.

nugymmer

I think you are underestimating human stupidity and the human element of markets. The market doesn't owe you, me, nor anyone else, diddly jack shit. This is something we all have to deal with. Admittedly we are idiots for not selling when we sort of knew this was coming. As for me well I deserve everything I get. I'm not doing anything and my port will probably get smashed to smithereens. But it's because I'm an idiot who doesn't listen to his gut. And always...always...always pays so very dearly for it. The first mistake I ever made in crypto was investing in Quarkcoin even though my gut for some reason told me maybe not a good idea. Then it was NOT investing in Ethereum shortly after its debut in October 2015 when I had easy access to 10,000 of those fuckers. Yeah, that's not coming back. That opportunity is GONE, done and DUSTED. So fucking gone. It hurts. I could have turned $10k into $40M so easily had I just bought in 2015 held and sold in 2021 close to the top. I'd be laughing right now. But I'm not crying, so at least that's something. The losses I have incurred so far (unrealised profits, not starting capital) don't bring tears to my eyes. But I can tell you what does bring tears to my eyes - the thought of ever losing one or both of my two little sausage dogs. When I had to rehome a dachshund back in September 2023 I was wailing like a baby. It hurt so, so much worse than the shit I am dealing with now. I really broke down back then and developed some rather serious health problems probably because the grief from that destroyed me. I can handle losing tens of thousands of dollars in unrealised profit. I can handle that shit. Losing a dog, on the other hand, is damn near impossible. Just some perspective, because things can be super duper worse than what they are now, on a personal level, for me at least. I have two dogs that I could not bear to lose. But as for investments, well, it's only money. It sucks, it sucks ass something serious, but it's only money and I won't starve or end up homeless. Again, sage advice is to NEVER invest money you could never afford to lose, because that is the real stupidity I see too often. Not realising profits is still not great, but it's never as bad as betting the house on crypto and losing the house. That's something that should always be avoided. Invest only capital that is your own and do your own due dililgence, and don't buy worthless stuff that has no clear agenda or plan behind it. It's why ChainLink is the biggest chunk of my port and will likely remain so until I add some BTC to my port once I can get more money down the line, if this lines up with a bear market year I'll have the opportunity to likely 5x my money so I'm not going to get too upset or pissy if this "promised" (bullshit) alt-season does not appear. I think we already had it and it's now too late to do much except wait. Next time more capital will be going into BTC. MUCH more. But, as always, it will be with my OWN capital and capital than I can afford to lose. I do feel sorry for those who are in over their heads and not realising that crypto can suck people in all so easily. Never fall for the trap. Just DCA after the dust settles, and slowly get back on track for your goals. Don't let fear dissuade you from what you want (or at least what you believe you want).

DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH

Top-Bicycle-1899

I would do some serious research on RWA projects, as well as ISO20022 compliant projects. Find which ones look promising and allocate anywhere from 10%-50% (depending on your risk tolerance) of your crypto portfolio to those projects you’ve chosen. The other 50%-90% should be in the top 3 (BTC,ETH,SOL): Out of the top 3, either distribute evenly to maximize your odds of success, or pick 2 that you’re more confident in. But most importantly, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. Don’t FOMO into a specific project just because your buddy or some Reddit mod claimed they made money investing in it. If you don’t know much about where your money is invested, your odds of making actual profits are not likely. Hope this helps ✌️

CryptoManty

You sound like a newbie to me, 50% corrections are normal in a bull market. If you start believing all you watch on you tube you will go mad. My advice is learn the basics of charts and more importantly how to use a fib tool on day Coin market cap. Do your OWN research and risk only what you can afford to lose. I have been in the space since 2019, made some stupid mistakes and have learnt from them. If you are invested in utility, layer 1’s or layer 2’s you will be pretty safe, however NOTHING is guaranteed………

Half a brain is required to receive more than you send if you're running your OWN lightning node (rather than using a platform to create an account on someone else's node - this is still self custodial btw). If Bitcoin were to be used as daily currency then only really businesses will need to be concerned about managing liquidity (most people spend more than they receive, paychecks would be on L1). There's a lot of methods and platforms which assist with this. Lightning works and it works pretty well. However I think the world's pretty much decided Bitcoin's digital gold currently, and on-chain fees are so cheap right now. It's quietly developing in the background though :)

2 huge mistakes here. First you have not completely understood what you've invested in. Second seems like youve put in more money than youre willing to lose. For the first mistake, you need to understand crypto market cycle, global liquidity, human psychology and market manipulation to know whats going on during each part of the cycle. Otherwise you wont know whats going on and will be freaking out when it goes down, and thinking your the smartest person on the planet when it goes up. No one can tell you itll go up or down, because should believe what YOU believe. 90% of people in crypto lose money anyway, so most of what you hear online isnt good advice. Build your OWN conviction, so strong that no matter what bullshit is being blasted at your face , you know where youre going. I know my conviction, i have no stress whatsoever because i just trust the process and wait it out, meanwhile everyone in here is freaking out lol. For the second mistake, just dont overextend yourself into this world of crypto. Doing so is a manifestation of greed. Put in how much you can genuinely be fine losing. If youre waking up in the middle of the night after having a nightmare your portfolio went to 0, you have put in too much. My advice? hold until markets recover (they will, most ppl here are just stupid and think otherwise), and sell some of the your portoflio so youre at a level where you are fine losing everything. Or invest way more time learning the structure of a bull/bear market, why each part happens, and what catalysts need to occur for them to be kicked off. Good luck <3

Where did I say anything about defending NAFTA. I don't need to read it. Trump just threw out his OWN trade agreement (USMCA), which I guess you're declaring is a bad agreement. And on the topic of deficit, Canada imported $11000 of goods per person, whereas America imported only $1409 per person. If anything the deficit is with the Canadian population, not the other way around.

Doge was made in 2013, the second oldest real coin is ETH, what other memecoin is recognizable by anyone even if they don’t know crypto. Name another memecoin that’s on its OWN chain. Eth and sol can be replaced by better tech. All memecoins on those chains will be forgotten. Doge earning a 50billion marketcap on its own chain while simply being a meme. Never being supply controlled or pushed by vcs. Crazy to not think it’s special. 99.9% of these utility coins are useless, inefficient compared to methods we currently use, and the coins be recreated in the future with better features 100s of years from now doge will be the first memecoin, older than any other coin, and will be a collectors item with a mcap that slowly trickles up cycle after cycle. The only coin you can say that has the longevity of doge is btc. You’re insane to assume that any other crypto will outlast doge. Out perform okay but out last, your best bet is doge there’s nothing even close.

Have you ever considered you are fundamentally mistaken? Lotta folks out here calling tops like they have a clue. They don’t. It’s been three months since election night. It’s time for these posts to stop and it’s time for the people making them to get some self-awareness, shut their mouths, and observe. OP YOU LITERALLY ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION IN YOUR POST! “Oh well pa on alts is dumdedum, but it should be dooptidoop; alt szn guaranteed after btc top, where altszn?” Gee, idk OP, where IS alt season? Hmmm. Let’s apply some critical thought and come up with some theories as to what this puzzling situation must mean….

Fun Fact: in the US and UK, there is no "real" estate. The government has something called "eminent domain" where THEY can decide what your property is worth and force you to sell it to them. In the UK local councils have literally bought peoples houses from them via the courts, for a 10th of what they are worth, then turned around and sold the property privately to MPS/local councillors etc who make a killing on the value. So you do NOT OWN property at all. You are there entirely at the whim of government, who can decide your $900,000 house will be sold to a government employee for $1

The thing about bitcoin, that separates it from other assets, you can buy as much as you can afford. You can't buy AND **OWN** 0.0001 of a house/hotel/land, or a football team, or a company etc... When i buy my bitcoin. I OWN MY BITCOIN. So buy as much as you can afford. and remember, Not Your Keys, Not Your Coin.

Dude, I might come across as mean, but you need to hear this. You are the reason scammers exist. Wake the fuck up! NEVER TRUST ANYONE ON THE INTERNET WITH YOUR MONEY. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. DONT EXPECT OTHER PEOPLE TO EDUCATE YOU. TAKE FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN FINANCES. If you dont wake up and listen and learn from your mistake today you are going to lose alot of money.

Most of these coins on exchanges belong to exchange customers who left their coins on exchanges. They do not understand how important it is to remove coins to cold storage. Sad thing is that one day when they want to remove them, they probably will not be able when exchanges run out. If you have bought coins and left them on exchanges you actually OWN NOTHING.

Whats it for? I'm hiring 5 expensive prostitutes who are into golden showers and scat..... Legally they can't refuse to give you YOUR OWN money on 'moral' grounds. Ask them if you want to be more explicit on what the scat will be used on/in

the correct response is to IMMEDIATELY change banks. Give the reason as "I do not trust this bank to not steal my money as they have refused to allow me to spend MY OWN MONEY on what I choose"

Diversity is key. I ain't a pro. But I won't put my money on one place. S&P 500 for long hold stock. Don't put it all on Crypto. It's very hot right now. Everything is up.

Haha ok this made me laugh. The only advice I have for OP is to DO YOUR OWN research. Don’t listen to these punks in those chats. They are not going to guide you in the right direction, especially if you don’t know them on a personal level.

Icy-Success-3730

This is exactly one of the big reasons why I am in this. First, it is to OWN my own money; second, it is to be able to free my time to live my life, instead of living to work.

Bro, every one of these articles says the opposite of what you said. Not only is the Fed going to use their own FedNow network, and NOT Ripple (as described in these articles), but the speculation is that by way of the Fed using their new system it will have network effects and may impact XRP indirectly. But nothing in any of these articles says the Fed will use Ripple or XRP. Because it won’t. Because as stated in these articles the Fed came up with their OWN system, FedNow. The first link is someone asking “should we use Ripple network” in 2019 conveniently leaving out the response, which was a no. The most recent article you attached only focuses on network effects, which means indirect impact to Ripple, as in no actual partnership but if the fed is doing fast payments then maybe people will recognize the value of Ripple too, which is a pretty worthless assessment to make but that doesn’t surprise me given the sources you’ve provided. These are the type of half baked, speculative, factually inaccurate comments that let me know I can’t take these comments seriously.

Before I post the sources, I never said LINK wasn’t in a fund lol, I said they need their OWN ETF.

No judgment here. Everyone has to start somewhere. For Legal reasons let me start by saying: THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. I am only here to help in every way that I can and direct you towards the path of doing things correctly. Both coins have their strengths and weaknesses and both have value that is heavily tied to community hype, which can be unpredictable. So be careful, it's important to DO YOUR OWN thorough RESEARCH and consider your risk tolerance. my risk tolerance is different than yours just like it's different for everyone. Diversifying your investments and only investing what you can afford to lose is always a good strategy. (This is true for every investment) Snek. Has a strong community. The tokenomics has burning mechanisms, which it's always good cause it can increase scarcity and potentially drive up the price making it deflationary and it's on the Cardano blockchain meaning it benefits from the security and scalability of Cardano Qubic integrates AI and quorum-based computation, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce transaction fees. It also has initiatives like QEarn to encourage long-term engagement. *********************** You need to remember that a good meme coins relies on a strong community and strong utility. Both these coins are still in the early stages of development, which means higher risk.They're both highly volatile and influenced by social media trends so be careful. ALWAYS DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ********************** Compared to more established cryptocurrencies they both have a lower trading volume, leading to higher volatility. Because of this they have the ability to have bigger swings to the upside AND THE DOWNSIDE. NEVER PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET. ITS THE BEST WAY TO PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT. NEVER SPEND MORE THAN YOU'RE WILL TO LOOSE. everything in life is a risk. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND NEVER RELY ON WHAT OTHER PEOPLE TELL YOU. NOT EVEN ME. nobody can make a decision for you. ONLY YOU CAN

Sure, I'd be happy to help clarify things for you! Understanding the Value of Cryptocurrency Coins Some people view cryptocurrencies as a proxy for the transactions they facilitate. In this sense, the value of a coin could be tied to the number and importance of transactions it supports. This is similar to how traditional currencies work. Others see cryptocurrencies more like shares in a company. In this case, the value of the coin is tied to the success and potential of the company or project behind it. This is particularly true for coins associated with blockchain projects or decentralized applications. You have to remember that just like everything else in life reviews can sometimes be skewed towards negative experiences, as people are more likely to share bad experiences than good ones. However, it's also important to consider the specific issues raised in reviews. Common complaints about platforms like Coinbase and eToro include high fees, poor customer service, and technical issues. I particularly don't like "or use" coinbase or eToro. I use crypto.com and blofin. (if you'd like a referral to any of these I can most definitely provide it so we can both get kick backs. Just let me know) coinbase even though they're a publicly traded company their fees are usually higher and dear god their customer service takes forever. And eToro isn't even a legitimate crypto exchange. They started with stocks first and just transitioned over to move with the space. Crypto.com has some of the lowest fees in the space so that's why I've been using them for years You have to look at the world we live in. Everything and everyone is in a competition to be the best. Think cell phone companies, car companies, grocery stores. It's literally no different than the exchanges. Crypto is a new space and it's just going through growing pains. Remember when cell phones 1st came out? You had nextel you had Motorola razr you had apple and everyone and their grandmother coming out with a new style of phone. Now there's really only 3 top brands that control the markets. Apple, Samsung and Google Before investing, it's a good idea to "DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH" Learn what KYC is 1st - **Read multiple reviews**: Look for patterns in the feedback. - **Check regulatory status**: Ensure the platform is regulated and follows best practices. - **Consider alternatives**: Compare different exchanges to find one that best suits your needs. the same holds true to the crypto or literally anything else you invest in. It's an absolute must to know who and what you're investing your money into. You're not just gonna go buy something from a random dude off the street just because someone says they're good. Because what happens if you go talk to him and you get bad vibes from him. Trust your own instincts not someone else's. That's why it's important to DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH When in doubt always ask questions in the crypto communities such as this one. Finding a good community helps a lot

DefactoCryp70

***To save my ass. Nothing is ever financial advice. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH**** It really all depends on your risk tolerance. The higher the marketcap the less risky it is. Bitcoin is the most stable. Solana would be a solid alternative Ethereum killer. literally almost every good meme coin out now that everyone is talking about is built on the Solana network Sui (Layer 1 potential Solana killer, created by former meta Facebook engineers and executives) Aioz (Artificial Intelligence) Oraichain (Artificial Intelligence) Superverse (web3 gaming) Meme coins. There's a ton just don't ever go all in on them since the prices fluctuate so often. Pepe, turbo, MOG, Brett to name a few

Not being an a-hole but this doesnt mean you actually have it right? Post a pic even you cashed it out on your OWN bank account.

The real upside here isn't the capital growth. At 18 you will have money THAT YOU OWN instead of a bank account that reports your activity to the government, and which can be stolen at any time.

ApolloRT

No you dont get to be your own bank. This not even close to the truth. What you do really is that you convert your money to gold instead of putting it in the bank. You do this because you think gold will have more value and gold is something that will always be valueble because it has its uses. However, in this scenario it has zero uses. And not only that, the top 1% , matter of fact the ones who OWN the BANKS that you are so afraid of control the price of that said gold.

dyerdigs0

You find it delusional that someone predicting a floor of 80k from a high of 93k, correct? Does it not show that as further delusion that a better prediction of a floor of 10k being many years out as compared to a timeframe of a mere few days? Wasn’t even a counterpoint my dude I was showing more evidence to your OWN POINT.

chosfs

Think of it as the US dollar. Back in the day it was worth more and more but now it's not and IT will never reach its original value bc they print more. Bitcoin can't and as time progresses money is fluctuated in bc it's an asset that can't be replicated and protected by an unowned asset. Nobody can OWN all of Bitcoin unless they throw away all their money. Its value is the same thing that drives the dollar, the usage of its ABILITY to trade goods. We would still need the dollar but while they print more you could put your money into crypto to save yourself from inflation.

Satoshi-kris

So bitcoin is like gold in ways out to offer value, the price fluctuates on the market sentiment. If you heard of California gold rush, then bitcoin is just “digital gold rush” Bitcoin is, put it in one word is “store of value” just like gold that’s unshakable unless compromised by majority nodes (which won’t happen, that’s fkn impossible) So bitcoin is an electronic peer to peer cash system, that works on verification not trust! It’s like a digital file that’s on the blockchain, what is a blockchain, it’s a network where nodes are connected to validate the ledger, like everyone has data on everyone unlike traditional networks! It is decentralised and secure, in a way that everyone trusts the data, and that’s how my friend bitcoin gets its value, as one Redditor said buy in as much as you can and only the amount that you can afford to lose! Store it don’t sell unless you think you need the money urgently and don’t store on a centralised exchange store the private key securely, and just forget come after 5 years or so when it hits more than 100k and buy in amount every once in a while that you can afford to lose that’s it! Think that you are buying gold, but digital gold! THIS IS NOT A FINANCIAL ADVICE, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH BEFORE INVESTING

Individual_Refuse_30

Welcome to crypto world. First things first, there must be dozens of questions and people like you in here and other subreddits. Please scan and look proper, I'm sure you will find TONS of information. To help you in short... >I have been reading alot of people saying that buying btc eth and sol atm are the best bet Why? Who's been saying that? Mate, wherever you go, especially reddit people will say to buy whatever they have interest/invested in. Do not listen to random people suggesting investments but rather do your own research and make INFORMED FINANCIAL decision otherwise you're likely to invest high, sell low and lose your hard earned money. \-- Best way to start is to start slow.. Bitcoin is nr 1 crypto and you should likely start there. But do your own research and make your own decisions. > I'm also interested in other coins and would like to learn how to find new Coins before they explode Nobody knows what will explode, you have to understand this is HIGHLY SPECULATIVE market. We are in the middle of bull market (hopefully) and likely a lot of crypto will go up (hopefully) but there's no guarantee that is why you need to make research and your OWN financial decisions. > What advice would you give someone starting out ? Instead of asking what to invest in, educate yourself and make your own financial decisions. Most of newbies coming into crypto will lose money because they will listen to some random advice. > Is it worth buying any crypto now and just holding and if yes which ones ? or should I wait until they dip ? Again, nobody knows what market will be tomorrow, day after and more. Yes, we are during bull market but nobody knows when will it end so you have to make your own call. If market goes down and you buy in you will lose (short-term at least) but if you wait for dip it may not even come.. then you will lose too (miss out short-term investment). So ask yourself are you looking to invest long or short term? Answer should be long-term since you are new I would advice not to day trade. Then one of popular strategies is to DCA (google if you don't understand what it means). But again, this is just one way and you have to make your **OWN** decision. > Does this type of boom happen every year around October November? No but it has rallied in the past during these times, you have to understand that past performance **DOES NOT** indicate future of crypto. Good luck.
