Small caps are easily manipulated imagine it has nothing to do with any fundamentals. Could be a number of reasons but probably none of them have any meaning
I'm convinced 99% are going to 0. That 95% is rubbish though you can make money on virtually anything. Allocating money on prestigious assets that are disruptive. The hardest part atm is being in a large cash position far longer then I anticipated. Following the shenanigans the past few years, a larger mini **** you fund is a necessity. I'm ready to ape in should the floor drop out over the summer or far sooner. I'm sure we're not yet hit the bottom or better yet we will retest.

I'm sticking to the script until I get new info or my process is no longer successful.

Almost half of the current holders of bitcoin are underwater. How many of them bought because of your recommendation? I doubt you ever consider such things.
A lot of people have, the vast majority of them bought in 17-20 and most are up many multiples. This is well documented in the old threads we both participated in. I am not as vocal with it now but when people do ask me I tell them to set up an auto buy and DCA BTC and ETH. Even if someone started that process in the past year, they will be fine and are not hurt like most of retail is now. I let them know out the gate, set up an auto buy, don't expect to get rich overnight and can take several years to get outside the volatility range of your cost basis.

That’s true, hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Tech/growth had done really well leading into 2020 but what happened after wasn’t really performance in terms of fundamentals, it was a bubble. The Shiller PEs were off the charts.

Now may be time to start buying it back, investing is a long term game and buying distressed assets is where it’s at. I might miss out on even more growth in value, but it’s impossible to call tops and bottoms long term. Even 50% of the time is hard.

As buffet says, making money slowly is the key long term.
That was my point, markets often do not move in ways that make sense in the short term, it is impossible to predict or anticipate many times. Normal pricing signals have increasingly not made sense the past decade since the last crisis. Often times is just takes positioning for a trend the next 5-10yrs and being very patient. Shorter term moves are impossible to predict consistently

There are only a couple that I would be willing to sit in for the long term. Most coins get one hype cycle then disappear in the bear market. It is like trying to thread a needle catching those price pumps. I think you have a solid plan, I have been building large cash position for a while too. If we get a large deflationary period, which I think is very likely, no assets will be safe.

The lesson I hope everyone learns from your presence here is that when someone tells you that you are stupid for *not* investing in an asset, run. Don't walk, run.
When did I call anyone stupid? You're the guy hoping on threads of investments you do not like, pretty strange actually. Especially considering how poor your views perform.

We went from an everything bubble to a bear market in everything. If history is any guide, bitcoin will go down 85% like the last bear market to a low of around 10K. And all other cryptos will go down 90 - 100% This happened last time, so I expect it will happen again. I won't be adding any cryptos until they go down at least 80%, that is the time to slowly start accumulating your favorite coins again.

There was a prediction of BTC at £100k before the end of 2021.

The only reason a lot of folks are really crowing about this tanking of crypto is the incredible arrogance of cryptobros.

I know someone who “retired” at 34 to the Far East. He’s now back and working.

its people getting FOMO and listening which is the tragedy.

The idea that any asset retraces in price and then doubles or triples is absurd. There are myriad reasons why assets increase and decrease, and patterns like that don’t exist. They might have happened, in the same way a coin might flip heads three times. Extrapolating that to a theory of future behaviour is dangerous.

Relationships exist, things like covariance, correlation etc, but again, these change over time.
You are coming to a thread on crypto to police what people are saying, that is some real Karen Behavior. What is absurd is coming to threads of investments you have no interest in acting like some morally superior white knight. There are idiots in every space, have no control of that or other people say.

Go through this thread, this was in Dec 2018 when btc was bouncing between 3-4k, I was saying the same things then. do you feel bad for them too? I have many friends and family who have made between low 6 to mid 7 figures.

Calling people out on predictions, which were made to shill their investments at the expense of others, is not “policing”.

Getting in at 3-4K at best you would need to invest 50,000 to get seven figures. If people were wealthy or risk tolerant enough to sink 50K into a speculative asset, credit to them.

People have done exactly the same recently and are sat on huge losses. On the encouragement of crypto bros.

If you want the thread to be a circle jerk, go right ahead. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.
That is exactly what is considered policing. Your posts come across more as gloating than trying to be informative. No actual value was provided. Relying on short price action to confirm your narrative you will always be behind curve and have mediocre returns. If you actually understand this asset class, price is one of the least important metrics long term. There are a few right and many wrong ways to approach getting exposure. I have never promoted anything more than a measured responsible approach, keep it a small percentage of net worth and to stick primarily with BTC & ETH.

There are plenty of landmines in this space as well people who have no clue what they are doing. Bitcoin and the rest of crypto are two completely separate types of investments. I have many friends who have put in well over 50k including myself as well as some less. Point being everyone who has been involved several years has done very well. Many life changing well.

You said it was a tragedy anyone involved in this space. Just pointing out how incorrect you are and know many people have generated very high life altering returns. For people coming into tail end and went all in on small caps and meme coins, yeah they are screwed. You obviously do not have an understanding of the space but appreciate the warning. What that is I'm being warned about, not sure.

Agreed. At this stage cash position ready to ape in. Mostly focused on blue chips. I keep learning and willing to change my thesis at any point it's proven wrong.

Just to make a point, here is a DCA calc at 1yr, 3yr and 5yrs for $100week. Even if they started a year ago when the market were near the peak, they would only be down - 4.87%, 3yr +175%, 5yr +395%. All that is required to do well over time is be consistent, have patience and don't chase the overnight 1000x meme coins. Most new participants chase pumps and don't buy when they market is down. DCA for most people takes that issue away.

25 years ago as a stockbroker I was taught to pitch dollar cost averaging to the clients to whom we had just sold some piece of sh1t stock that had inevitably gone down. If you have ever seen the old movie Boiler Room, I worked in one of those places. DCA wasn't much different than the other canned pitches. "You have to ask your wife? Who wears the pants in your family?" was my favorite.

Almost every high net worth investor who is actually successful recommends dollar cost averaging in and out of positions. Otherwise you are basically trying to be a trader and time markets. Very few people can time tops and bottoms. Especially on a high volatility asset, it smooths out the price movements. Not sure what point you are trying to make comparing it to penny stocks. 99% of people should be dollar cost averaging. it just needs to be in the right assets. Just because your friend used it as part of his scam doesn't mean it isn't the right approach.
 

Just because a woman listens to you and acts interested in what you say doesn't mean she really is. She might just be acting polite, while silently wishing that the date would hurry up and end, or that you would go away... and never come back.

Right now is prime buying time for good fundamental microcaps only that are literally at the very bottom. Because the reall good ones will survive this current bear cycle and easily X10 to even X500 plus in value once the market starts rebounding.

Don't buy ANYTHING right now above a 100 million marketcap....i don't care how good fundamentally it is. Only buy 3 mil usd and lower promising microcaps. I literally got rich doing this in 2018 through 2019 and then selling them...some for insane gains ...during the latest bullmarket. One was telcoin for example. Another was VRA. Both were great fundamentally but were dirt cheap in early 2019.

Only suckers invest in big caps that other people have already made fortunes on. And the bigger they are the harder they fall. Look at the recent Luna situation for example.

Be careful...just cause an alt went down 90% doesn't mean it can't go down another 90% from here.

There is nothing looking left in the charts to suggest this is a bottom.

If we follow previous patterns, we won't bottom out until the fall/winter. Don't think there is a rush to buy anything right now

Yeah that's why i only mess with tiny microcaps. They are already essentially at the bottom. I even buy sub 1 million dollar marketcap projects that i think have some potential. Some end up being complete scams while some make me huge Xs.

Listen I'll admit I'm down right now owning both BTC and ETH but I think it comes down to whether you believe in the viability of these cryptos... Amazon was crap for a long time in the early going but what the company was doing made sense for the future.. Look at it now... I think the same of crypto so now is probably a good time to load up (within reason of course)
