OT- Bitcoin

In my opinion, trying to get in and out is not a good strategy at all. It's volatile and unpredictable and can, and has, forced people to hold it much, much longer than they planned when it suddenly dipped.

Of course, its currently at 44K and you could wake up tomorrow morning and it could be 50K or could be 40K. Typically, this is the time of year when it dips, so its possible it might run up this time. In 3 weeks its just as likely to be 60K as it is 35K. The potential for a negative spread is always there, and thats how people get stuck.

Those that have done well with Bitcoin are early adopters. At some point, it will probably reach 220K.
With no fees at all in buying and selling it and since you can buy partials, I can see buying in and selling it, trying to make a a few dollars here and there but for me, I just buy little portions of it and wait. Like you said, I think it will hit some crazy high someday but I also think it will become as worthless as cinnamon in the end. But I am more than happy to try and squeeze a few dollars out of it before it becomes nothing.

I seen this X user say that Bitcoin is going to 56k then draw back then shoot steady to 100.

Then said Litecoin is going to melt faces.

What the heck does melt faces mean? I guess since I have to ask this, I am officially old?

Next question what phrase was it that was new to you, you didn't understand, and then made you realize you've finally gotten old?
Pretty much all of them. Finna, yeat, drip. What???

My son and i buy small portions each week for two of my grandsons, regardless of what the price point is at the time.

There are many ways to do similar things, and if that works for you, kudos and good luck buddy.

Bought a lot of Litecoin a long time ago, and patiently wait for it to make a move, if it ever does. That's the advantage of just buying a a low price point and wait for an upward move.

At the time, i actually bought about 30 different cryptos and alt coins. Some have done well, others have just vanished to zero.

Some keep hanging on and not making any move up or down, so i just transferred all those "dogs" into my grandkids accounts and they can wait it out if they want to, its not worth wasting my time on. LOL

I've been buying portions daily for my great-grandson and his dog. Been doing this regularly since 2015. If you didn't get in early, you probably can't make anything at this point, though.

How much pull back before you re-up?
For the most part I will let the action around the trends I have drawn dictate this but right now I’m seeing either 3800-4000 or if it breaks that level 2800-3000. So possibly not very far. I may have sold half a little early because that was more so on feel/momentum, but my buys are on technical trend lows.
 
It's called a Spindle Reverse Dolphin Flip. It's primarily a bull market strategy but also tradition.
It's called "dollar cost averaging" and has been around forever in the stock market. Don't make up new names for stuff that already existed.

I’m very aware of the strategy. You said there’s probably no more money to be made from here though. That tells me you think it’s going sideways or down from here, so why would you continue to buy it?

Because my son, grandson, and great grandson told me to. Why stop now? I bought an island and a ticket on virgin galactic thanks to BTC.
 
Cardano blew up today... biggest surge since the last bull. There will be a dip again before the actual Crypto bull hits in Q4 of 2024. Glad I got a bunch at $0.25... won't sell anything until $5 or more though in the 2025 bull

What do you buy Cardano on? Robinhood doesn't have it.
 
The next Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) halving is expected in April 2024. The event, occurring approximately every four years, affects not only the market value of Bitcoin, but also the broader dynamics of the cryptocurrency space.

Hold until early 2025, when the euphoria and fear of missing out kicks in for the masses then you sell. Conservatively $150k a coin price target. Feel free to bookmark this and check back in 12-15 months. But this is not financial advice :)

I'll pass on the bookmark. lol
 
7% drop today.. why?
That is the thing, no one knows because no one can actually explain what crypto is, they all just copy and paste what some dork wrote.

The Romans used cinnamon as currency and he had more value than silver. Bitcoin is cinnamon.

Make money off of it now because it will eventually be as valuable as your old arcade tokens that we all had at one point.

Oh I thought maybe a reason. I’ll still look to throw some money in at one point based on the cycles that some posters mentioned but yeh.. wild

False. My nephew explained it to me 15 years ago. He showed me the origins back when David Chaum almost released Digi Cash back in the 90's and boy am I glad he did! I starting putting 100 a week in 2009 into Bitcoin and Ethereum and now I've secured my families future for the next 15 generations. We bought an end of the world bunker in South Dakota so no one will ever pry these bitcoins from my cold, dead hands. I wish you a blessed life filled with blessings...but it will never be as good as mine.

Welp that’s one way to look at it…I’d rather take the lead of funds like Blackrock manage $9.5 trillion) that will soon have a Bitcoin ETF….chances are they’re a tad smarter on what’s coming.

Blackrock would have done the same with cinnamon.

It is smart, there is money to be made on Bitcoin, like I said, I buy it, just like I would have tried to get cinnamon back in Roman times. It doesn't mean that it is going to be some amazing thing that sticks around forever. It is cinnamon. Buy it, make some great returns and take your money.

Anyone that wants Bitcoin will just buy it.. why pay commission of a black rock etf?

This was very well done! Ha
 
Lol. There are endless ways to make money in this country. Anyone who invests in individual stocks has stories of hitting it big and anyone who thinks something is almost guaranteed hasn't been around long enough.

Crypto has vastly outperformed all asset classes since its inception in 2021. This isn’t speculation, it’s just comparing charts and doing math. VC funding round don’t count, and those are much higher risk anyways.
 
I have bee reading through this thread some. I have a question, if interest rates drop will it have an effect? Without looking up the correlation between rising interest rates and the cycle of the bitcoin price rising? I'm too lazy to try and do it myself. Since I have never messed with this type of trading, let me ask, does a person get in and out to take advantage of the runups. I did listen to the video. I would be interested in responses from anybody.

Lowering interest rates (an easing of the markets) correlate with a rise in risk-on assets. Crypto is a risk-on asset. The key indicator to track for risk-ok assets is global liquidity, which is sitting pretty good right now n

For the people that have no clue what it is, that don't know how to do it themselves. It can be overwhelming for some. People that actually take a minute and learn how to do it, you'll see how easy it all is.
