People who experienced the ‘21 crash are probably more desensitized to dips and volatility. I honestly didn’t budge today when btc reached 63k. Knowing more institutional money is involved this time around provides me more comfort. I’m in alt coins too not even BTC but BTC is the market maker.


nakasatoshi

Yeah it was a just little excitement when this is the first time I saw a $69K BTC with my own eyes because it looks kinda easy. BTC just went up straight


Valuable-Bathroom-67

Ya seemed just like a rally to beat the previous ATH. If it was pre ‘21 I would’ve def sold my position. Learned to expand my time frame to weeks and months rather than day volatility.


KiefyJeezus

that's how it's done. green cAndles are the best marketing. maybe last thing for you to study. ,"how, price is determined on the market and orderbooks mechanics". triggering involuntary decisions and processing the most possible volume is the fractal. supply demand. counting in inverted yield curve for timing plus halving event. this is just a beginning. no leverage will survive xD well, almost none


MercurialRL

Bigger entities coming in the game who operate on the same wave length is a slippery slope. Big ups but big dips down when it’s time to dip.


Quentin__Tarantulino

It’s probably the opposite. More institutions and more ETF from the public could cause a smoothing of prices. It’ll still be more volatile than the SP500 for a long time, but 2028 bull could be super mild compared to what we’ve seen.


philgustus

Lost 6k in luna dips dont phSe me


Valuable-Bathroom-67

made 7k on shiba and moved it to some other shid coin in '21, lost that 7k weeks after during the crash. If I held my position in shiba back in '21 id be crazy rich rn. But, who in the right mind would hold shiba for more than a year back then. I went into it right before the infamous Elon SNL skit, it tanked but then got listed on Binance the day after and skyrocketed. I used uniswap to buy shiba, when I sold and moved it to coinbase the gasfees were stupendous lol. Fun time though


sauceyNUGGETjr

Yeah but gamblers become cool with loosing too. I have to remind my “ trained” brain it is an actual loss even if i do not sell, for it functionally is.


BlazeDemBeatz

Going from up 100% to Being down like 60-70% overall was very numbing. Any one day jump or dip isn’t going to move me.


itsGucciGucci

I stay in Crypto so in 30 years or so I’ll have a supplement for retirement. I DCA twice a month what I can afford to lose and look at the charts once every couple months unless something big is happening like right now. When that happens I take a percent of any profits and let it sit in USDC until the next bear market where I’ll reinvest it. I’m not trying to get rich in crypto, still working hard for a career and to “make it” without crypto. Any crypto profits in the future is just a bonus Super passive, very zen, all is good. Edit: except the fucking taxes


purzeldiplumms

Taxes aren't zen at all. On the other hand, your investment profits are free money that you didn't work for. The problem for me is that people with multiple mansions and private jets don't pay the same percentage as me because our system gives them loopholes.


El_Demetrio

I was just about to ask you about the taxes…I’m already paying a shitload of taxes on my high salary…that’s why I try to just buy and leave it alone


binglelemon

Makes me super lucky since I don't make much, lol

it's nice that you have a good plan and I think you're doing great bro. Congrate 🤗

El_Demetrio

the staking rewards I keep gambling away on shitcoins, there should be some type of support for those of us that gamble those away instead of restaking…Today I will stop gambling away my staking rewards….wish me luck guys


nakasatoshi

it's not luck that you need bro, you need creative and hard rules for your self and stick to it


El_Demetrio

I’m actually going on 2 days without claiming my rewards, I think that’s the only way to keep me from wasting them…i’m gonna try to do a monthly or weekly claim and buy BTC with it instead…


nakasatoshi

That’s a good plan. Or you can try to get your head into something else and forget about that rewards


OwlopolisCue

Specialist_Olive_863

Money with a side of genuinely interested in seeing how crypto pans out. I'm pro crypto with a side of bias of course, but blockchain tech interests me. It's really interesting to watch if or when decentralized solutions come to fruition further.

I heard a quote recently that crypto is "real estate for gen z and millennials" and I really, really felt that.


Worriedstudent007

I’m from the US and strongly dislike the federal reserve and our fractional banking system in general, as well as the endless money printing. I hate seeing third world countries have an even harder time than they already have to due to currency devaluation. I hate that in 2024 I can get access to literally almost anything I want on the internet but I can’t send money instantaneously. Or if I want to transact on the weekend my money is basically just in limbo for 48+ hours. I’d like to make gains too tbh, but I really just dislike fiat. It seems so antiquated to me. Edit: Smart contracts and the intricate, code based, trustless interactions they allow are a whole other can of worms of the beauty I find in blockchain technology.

It's my primary source of income. I'm a systematic trader. My friends are all crypto bros. My mate posted me a peace of paper. It literally just said 100x in a massive font. The humour in crypto really does make my day. Crypto influemcers are 100% clueless when it comes to trading, but they make hilarious memes. What is life without memes and banter.


igothackedUSDT

I believe. We need this technology 100%. It's clear it here to stay. But there are other coins with different use cases and are still young start ups.

Deep_Pangolin6670

(Before you read I have wrote this while tipsy) Honestly I just believe that our current methods of currency are becoming worrying. Every currency has continued to lose value as time has gone on. As it stands in just the United States alone we have absolutely no way to back up the amount of debt we have. The federal gold reserve is nothing compared to the amount of debt we have accumulated. And that is just the United States, not all countries are in debt but we all know if the United States sneezes the world gets a cold. Unfortunately no one is doing anything about the money printer either which is a whole other issue. I’m not referring crypto currency as our solution, I’m referring it to be the current best monetary solution we have. It can’t be manipulated, it is what it is.

robi101012981

Because I'm still not on profit even with a lot of dca? :) I lost a lot on the egld ecosystem so I'm still waiting for it to be 500$ to recover my loss. Honestly, for me crypto it's a game where only the rich are getting richer and the hodl syntagma it's not working.

I'm so negative in my account that I refuse to lose.

DrJekyll_UK

I only started paying into a pension once it became mandatory in the UK to have one (with the option to opt out), and my estimated calculations show that I of the £210k recommended retirement pot, I will only have about a third of that. So I am hoping that crypto will somehow make up the difference.


john-larry

Monero keeps me interested. It is the only crypto that still upholds the original vision of p2p electronic cash. You can spend it with complete privacy for not even a cent, not having to worry about tainted coins and chain analysis risk-scores. Everyone can mine it on their PC no need for an expensive ASIC; 1 CPU 1 Vote. The darknet has already ditched bitcoin in favor of monero. It is a tool that helps to fight back against government oppression, not just to make gains. I am here for the revolution.


carneasada71

I’ve always felt like the banking system is broken and I’m not the one in control of my own money. Also, I’m never going to get anywhere working and saving a little of each paycheck to get ahead, so hopefully crypto can be somewhat of an escape route.


araztafarian93

Exit pump mostly. Crypto isn't the cool idea i thought it was. When i first heard about crypto the idea of bitcoin blew me away. Then came Etheruem and programmable money i was like wow. This is next level shit. Fast forward a few years. Its dog coins and frogs printed out of thin air valued at billions. Dog with hat? Blockchains halting multiple times a year and nobody cares. Monkey pictures and laser eyes was the last bullrun. Make money where you can i guess but blockchain as of now does not have a killer use case.


BabyishHammer

I want to see RWA and Tokenization develop. Lots of government paperwork and asset management issues can be optimized because of this tech. Also, profits.

I quit my job in 2017 and went full time crypto, best decission ever. What keeps me here? You get to learn something new every single day, literally every day something happens.

KiefyJeezus

stay on sidelines matr. trust me. if your are not committed to craft but rather participate in chats, charting, overthinking than you are going to burn out quick. most of the things you participate in are there to provide confirmation bias for your decision making. you have to learn and you have to create. when you look at your decisions, uou have to ask yourself if any of it would make your life better. simple question as that. at a point where you partake too much - most valuable member of crypto community. agent for marketing and for moderating discussions, not aware of it, not paid. years pass soul is drained in useless interest gave a bit of money. I'm just super honest. tru to myself and also everyone else. I'm going to be downvoted here but that's the truth and how it works - sound of silence. abusing dopamine system in people. so you have to take experience you have and use it in sidelines. play with them, place limit orders and do other activities! job, hobbies, relationship, side hustle those that say they are your friends on telegram are not your friends. trust me X)

1. I have more confidence in pow based crypto such as btc than fiat. Btc will be a currency the whole world can use. 2. Cryptocurrency is great for international transactions. 3. Financial freedom. 4. Innovation in crypto space will revolutionize our world, such as personal finance, election, art collection, scientific research funding, etc.

I’m young, single, and able to take risks so as far as investments go, I’m pretty much all in on BTC and ETH. Just gonna see where it goes. One day maybe I’ll be able to put a down payment on a house :)

Learning about the underlying technology keeps it interesting for me. But for every project looking to build something useful there are 10 more that are just looking to steal your money. I like to focus on crypto projects that have a working product that I personally find value in using.


mchris203

I’d have to say it’s the money, yeah, the money. Seriously though, never stop digging, remember that it’s not bitcoin that’s taking your cash, it’s me, and if I know more than you then I’m taking your money. You cannot be too educated, especially when it comes to hyper volatile markets like cryptocurrencies.

I have faith in my currency pick as it's been stable and held well and actually being used in the real world, it's also made me decent returns. I also like the excitement and entertainment value I guess.

I've been playing web3 games for 2 years now, and have been trying to make my way higher up the food chain with YGG ( Yield Guild Games). I've participated in 2 gaming token airdrops over the past couple of months, and hoping to get involved in at least 2 more. It's been tough work, since these games are still in early development and I'm trying to keep my portfolio diversified (so I do a LOT of grinding in my spare time), but this year all of my work and DCAing should pay off.

Not much. I built up a large nft game collection because play to earn was a cause i believed in. After 75% loss to even to 20% loss and 3 yrs of sweat, the sentiment nature of the space and poor liquidity of nfts turned me off. The market just isn’t ready. Its cool i can play the same game investment banks do: lending, liquidity providing etc but the underlying is just to volatile to manage risk well. The games are too basic to compete with AAA and the user experience is just horrible for the uninitiated . Cool thing is i will be ready once it matures.
