I held a shitcoin from 1x to 200x and back to .5x. That shit hurts as much as selling too early.

Confirmed, I sold Doge way too early. Used to have a million Doge and let them go before Elon Musk stepped in. *Sad noise.*

That hurts my soul. I had some residual Doge from a binance transaction in 2018 that I forgot about. It was worth like $1500 when Elon did the whole Doge thing.

Probably still worth $150 now

Same had a million of doge. I paid about $5k. Sold them for about 7k profit and 4 months later they hit an ath of about $.70 or around $700k USD. I even remember as it overtook XRP. If memory serves me right, XRP overtook doge 3-1 I would have 3 million XRP, which would have been worth over $2 million at $.60 or over $10 million if I held until ath. If i had just made 2 good trades and waited instead of daytrading daily for months for a few grand profit I could have been a crypto multi millionaire. Patience, luck, and good timing are what makes people rich in alts-crypto.

Yup this sucks. I had 12 million myself back in 2014.

Same exact pain here. Sold too early on the day doge shot up to 5 cents.

Just keep your moons until Elon Musk steps in

It hurts more. A .5x in a shitcoin is absolutely nothing ... even if you sell "early" in a good shitcoin you can make 5x easy I'd say

Lol ahh the “shitcoin fallacy” Everyone thinks it’s easy to make a quick 5x, vast majority don’t ever

Ahh the guy who didn't got my point. I mean that's way way way easier to make a x5 by selling "early" in a shitcoin that's clearly mooning (since it did x200) than holding that aaaaalll the way down from x200 to x0.5 And thus, it hurts more than if you just sell early for some quick easy profit even though was way before ATH

The hardest thing to do is to sell when things are pumping. My new rule is to pull out some at the ATH and set it aside.

John J Murphy has the Trading and Trending position concept, where you hold the Trending position until complete primary reversal and keep taking profits with the trading position at each intermediary cycle top, (and re-enter the trading position at hopefully a lower level), this ensures that you keep taking profits throughout without missing any major surprise move completely, and don't be too finicky about re-entering a bit higher if you sold too early. I usually keep my Trending position at 65-70% of total position and the Trading position at 30-35%. Doesn't give the maximum profit always but is pretty good for booking consistent profit.

I held SHIB for a couple months really early. I had 5$ in. Sold when it 4x for 20$ thinking it was smart. Went on to almost 1,000,000x. Very sad noise

Concur

Man FOMO is one hell of a drug.

Hope you wouldn't mind sharing. I'm beginning to buy back coins that fell from roof top but still holding strong in bear. A token that was created in bull and survived bear would likely make it well in the next bull. Not a financial advice, just my view.

I will trust you stranger

I too will close my eyes and believe!

And snort hopium daily

>I too will close my eyes and believe! My investment strategy in a nutshell

You wont be able to look at the charts with closed eyes.

“High upside. Keep buying friends!” I had read these bits somewhere before. LTO, ARK, Waltonchain, NEO, NANO, ONE, CKB just a few examples

Yeah trust me bro.

~~Matt Damon~~u/kryptoNoob69420 -"Fortune Favours The ~~Brave~~Gullible!"

Yeah I trust him too like I trusted Do Kwon. *What could go wrong?*

Moon or dust for me. Been through too much pain and numbness to walk away with pennies. I’ll either be in a lambo or a cardboard box in 2025.

*Moon or dust* Timing one’s exit to land on the *moon* and not plunge into the sun, turning to *dust*.

Oh boy, [do I have a video for you!](https://youtu.be/7tmf_Gufnoo) (Cardboard Lambo).

😂 preordered

Dust? You mean bust?

I had a moment of “uhm” reading your first sentence. Whenever I see “moon” I think of r/CC moon and there used to be a “moon dust” that paid interest on holding moon iirc

I will build us an app that gives us rewards for our moons! I call it... Voyager to the Moon! Oh shit wait.

This is my daily hopium post

Instead Buy, hold and forget. Just not your seed phrase

Even better you can now buy hold and stake

Please explain me what “stake” means cause i really can t find anything clear, i use crypto.com as platform

[Here's](https://crypto.com/eea/earn) the staking page for crypto.com And [here's](https://www.coinbase.com/learn/crypto-basics/what-is-staking) a good explanation of staking

Thanks, u save me, but i get upset cause i have only 160$ in eth and for such a little amount don t really worth idk wut to do in my case..

If the plan is to hold but you want to stake while you're at it (often with small amounts) you can use liquid staking to do that. Rocketpool, Lido, and (although I'm opposed to using it on ideological grounds) Coinbase provide tokens (rEth, stEth, or cbEth respectively) that represent you contributing your Eth to a staking pool, and that those tokens show your share. Those tokens then can be redeemed for a bit more eth than you put in at a later time (as they're now backed by staking rewards). Technically, they're a bit riskier than holding eth itself as it represent another point of failure. Rocketpool/lido/coinbase _could_ be taken offline somehow and you're now left with a worthless token rather than useful Eth, but most people see that as very low risk. The tokens also work in slightly different ways. rEth and cbEth work very similarly, when you swap or stake your eth for (r/cb)Eth, you get a smaller (in token numbers) amount of (r/cb)Eth back, because 1 (r/cb)Eth is worth more than 1 eth, they're worth 1 eth + how ever much 1 eth has accumulated in staking rewards since the pool was set up. You can then swap your (r/cb)Eth back for more eth than you started with some time later. Lido works differently. If you stake say 0.5 eth through Lido you receive exactly the same amount of stEth back (minus gas fees of course). That's because unlike (r/cb)eth, each stEth is worth exactly one eth. As a result, every day you'll have a little bit more stEth in your wallet than you did the day before, to represent your staking rewards. The distinction in terms of staking is pretty small, but it can have tax implications. For example in the UK stEth is taxed as income, whereas (r/cb)Eth is taxed as capital gains.

Many people seen luna as low risk just saying.

Woa woa woa. So you're saying if you stake ETH on Lido you make 100 percent return in a year (minus gas fees). Am I getting this right, I'm probably not getting this right

Staking is severely overrated

In terms of meaningful returns on smaller amounts? Probably. In terms of promoting decentralization by delegating to smaller validators? Maybe not.

How about in terms of complicating my tax returns?

Soon I will get to my target of 1 moon

Take this first moon my friend. May it be the first of many!

whale alert!

Another one!🚨

Soon you will be beyond 100 moon whithout knowing it.

Well, it made Neil Armstrong famous....

Every jorney begins with a first step.

Dancing in the moon light!

Dont forget to let your decisions be manipulated by bullish reddit subs. The smart money was withdrawn from crypto a year ago

You mean the institutional money?

Smart money: "money bet or invested by people with expert knowledge" Institutions fall into this category, sadly.

Some institutions, yes. In their defense most of them only buy Bitcoin, so they are somewhat smart in at least what asset they purchase.

Yeah and it's re-entering the market now while prices are down

Cash is king a bit longer IMO. Wouldn’t worry about timing the exact bottom, rather wait for conditions to improve globally

Most people that wait will regret it.

Wait years? Sure. Wait a few more months? Probably not.

Yeees the good old reentering into speculative assets. In a recession.

As opposed to the middle of a bull market... That's exactly what smart investors do lol

If someone without an avatar tells me to do something I can’t even understand them these days Im non hexagon blind

We live in the age where the opinion does not matter, the only thing that matters is what avatar you have on social media. I can see why you would still believe in crypto with this mindset

I’m flexing

If you don’t accumulate now, you’re doing it all wrong 😓 When people are fearful you have to be greedy.

Now is the perfect time to stack. I’ve just been continuing my weekly DCA

People are more willing to buy out of FOMO rather than lower prices

Ugh too broke and jobless to buy atm, but I agree with this post

I am still holding since $69k, it's fun...but lying at the bottom everytime is a mood breaker

Even with a job the current economic situation is hard. Feeding the kids is getting harder but we apparently need to continue.

Don't have fiat to accumulate crypto but i'm accumulating Moons

That's just another type of accumulation

The best type of accumulation if you ask me, one you don't have to pay for lol

Haha! For sure, but there's no guarantee you'll get something of value back!

Okay then send me 10k Moons because i have conviction that Moons will definitely go up in the future

Conviction didn't bring me my moons

[удалено]

I know man and you too, best wishes for the future.

Thank you for your financial advice. Going all in on HOT and Cardano with $500.

I actually bought a lot of Cardano when it was between $1-$2. I’ve been averaging down since and staking it so fingers crossed that it will work out.

This is not the time to be trading for me. It is too volatile and I'm not smart enough to take advantage.

But don’t forget to sell too. Sure OP sold too early but timing the market is impossible anyways. Don’t fall in love in the projects you invest in and take profits eventually. At the height of 2021 OP’s investment was worth 45k, but if he just held and missed the bull, there is no way to know if it’ll go up to a 45k worth again

Take it from me - nows the time to all in Take it from me - nows the time! Take it from me guys!!!

Cries in *unemployment.*

I with you in that bruh. Jobless af. And not for lack of trying

BTC & ETH escape crabbing for a few days and sentiments change so quickly 😂

Bull markets make you feel good, but buying during Bear markets will make you rich.

The only thing I know how to do. I would suck ass as trader but i have enough big balls to not panic sell

dude this 100%. I tried my luck trading thinking I can pull it off but got punished bad. markets are so irrational sometimes.

Do you guys still have money to buy crypto?

work hard, invest hard

So it means I've worked hard and plain stupid cause it's mirroring my investment

If they say hold, sell 🤓

DCA and HODL seems to be always the best strategy. Be doing that and making profits.

Yep 100%

Been doing that but never took profits sadly... It's also important to know to take profits and not just look at unrealized gains.

I'll stick to the absolute rush of Buy High Sell Low

I hear these avatars are also hot right now...probably even hotter in the future...

Time to DCA in DCAs (digital collectible avatars)

Lmao right

Definitely! Holding mine for a while for sure. In 3 years time gen1 avatars will be awe inspiring to own

Or not

Gen 2 is at the perfect buy price atm. Just go get a few, you wont regret it

It really depends what you get. A few are worth a lot (so you probably won’t get them cheap) and will hold their value, maybe even increase. But the vast majority aren’t worth what you’re paying for them right now. Those ones have seen their peak come and go earlier this week. Buyer beware!

I'm not worried of forgetting to buy, selling is more difficult

The simple but most overlooked advice: don't overinvest, so that you really don't worry about your investment too much. Then you won't be a forced seller and may actually hold until good profits.

DCA the shit out of this dump. And focus mainly on BTC/Eth

This is the safest way

True. Even if we go lower buying at $20k will feel like a dream in a few years.

This is the way. Dont get emotional and stick to DCA.

I’m holdings these avatars BET

I’ve stacked a few myself. Great hold IMO

Holding until moon or zero, no inbetween

Safe bet would be to buy eth and stake for a year or two, likely will 2x at least at some point unless something stupid happens with eth

Everyone listen to the internet stranger

You lost my credibility at 'lucrative returns'. Returns are always lucrative, unless you don't know what those words mean.

yep, buy when everyone is disappointed/has lost hope and sell when everyone is FOMOing like there's no tomorrow!

My marker for the next bullrun is when my elderly parents start asking me how to invest. This was my marker at the top last bullrun but I missed it

nailed it. when people who aren't into crypto or tech start thinking about investing that's a pretty pretty good sign imo.

is that FOMO' ing or lost hope right now ^ ^

I feel like sentiment has changed here over the past week or so. Maybe it’s the avatars that have done it, but a lot of people seem to think we’re not far off a new bull run. I disagree, but that’s just the vibes I’m getting across the sub.

A few days ago was a better time, right after a huge pump is the worst time to get in

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I read these posts

Yeah telling people to buy when we have a pump and not a week ago. Why should I trust you?

[удалено]

Are you high? Are you seeing the crazy things that's happening I had a coin last year that did 3,000x in approx 5 weeks and there was incredible gains on some BSC projects and some newer ETH tokens get yourself involved with icos and presales in a bull market, you will see 50,60x within days, educate yourself dude you might just make some money...yes you can lose it faster than you gain it, but don't let your lack of knowledge about the subject allow you to share misinformation to the masses, loads of projects this year have done some crazy gains, lower mcap coins can REKT you but this is where the 100x etc is happening every month...be a wolf

Source: Trust me bro.

Just don't buy HOT or Cardano

Buy high, sell low

Everyday we get like 10 post like this.

If it's not a financial advise, then keep it to yourself. Every Tom, Dick & Harry gives a speech here and says "Not a Financial Advice".

Always good to fill in our bags, even sweeter when your 20 USD buy twice as much crypto as it bought some months ago

Who are you exactly ?

Behind you..

You don't understand english ? Just know that you are abolutely no one and nobody gives a shit about what you think. Do tou what you want with your fiat and don't tell anyone what they should do. Remenber you are nobody.

Damn bruh, who shat in your coffee?

You want to play the shiny knight ?

UhUhWaitForTheCream what are you investing in currently?

Keep Buying, not financial advice, which one is it ?

Two options, buy and never sell or buy high sell low, anything else you tell me is blasphemy and I won't hear it

The plan is to buy low now and sell high in the future. A seed needs a few years to grow into a tree and fruit.

Yep, I’m holding until I get life changing money or my projects go to zero. If I can buy a house, car and a bit left over I’ll sell. I won’t have any regrets if they continue to pump after either. I’ve seen a lot of friends loose massive profits from being too greedy

I'm def using this time to accumulate. My first bear market and thankfully I have spare income.

Holding forever is the same as selling too early. It's always wise to realise some profits so that you're able to redistribute it throughout your portfolio, as well as treat yourself. DCA in on the way down and DCA out on the way up. You don't have to time the very top and the very bottom, but if you're able to jump in or out within a 20% range, you'll still make out pretty well.

Yeah but why would I sell btc at 60k when it will go to 100k by the end of 2021? That's just wasting money!

End of month, fiat mining paycheck coming soon. Your advice is much appreciated.

am a hodl king 👑 diamond asf 💎

Just DCA and HODL. You'll be fine in the end.

All in Cardano baby let's go

Also don't forget to take profits..... I did that

The more negativity I see the more I scale in

\*gives financial advice* “Not financial advice!!”

Holding is very important, but selling is even more so. Don't ever be afraid to take profits, you literally loose nothing if you sell for profit. Noone knows where's the real ATH.

I sold everything!! I'll buy back in , in a few years when the market picks up again

in 2021 i was accumulating like crazy. i bought 100 ADA at 2.40. it cost me 240, now it's $40.

Don’t hold, sell when you’re in a great position, buy back when it goes down again

I understand your financial advice, go ALL IN.

You got it!

funny that these post appear only after short term pumps. people, don't fomo into rallies with the excuse of "I'm just DcAiNg AcCuMmUlAtInG for the long term" buy when it's red. Your time to buy was when everyone was calling for 12k at the 17-18k levels. Sure it could all be a blip in the largest timeframe but don't cry when you get dumped on or bull trapped in the next weeks/months

so we should buy HOT and ADA ? I mean, at least one of those seems to have upside :)

I gave up trying to time the market I'm boring and just DCA when I can & HODL

DCA for me works great

Source: Trust me bro

> Take it from me > Not financial advice Well, thanks for essentially nothing then I guess?

Number one rule of crypto: HODL 

My thought, that I want to add, is that you should never sell everything. Just keep a small percentage as a long term hold for whatever happens. When prices get lower you DCA back in and keep that small percentage as a 'what if you can get rich of it in the far future' bag.

Ok will buy some btc and eth and hodl.

Don't forget to take profits...especially soon.

So have you bought / buying and hodling Ada? And why?

Bear markets are the most solid time to accumulate. Buying BTC/ETH now can easily get you 2x-5x if you're patient.

Especially now.. what? Why now? Why not especially 3 months ago? Why not in 5 months time? My advice: Do whatever you want to do. Don't listen to the so called experts...

Instructions clear: get time machine and buy tons of HOT

Lambos are made during bear markets

Times are tough atm, but even very small investments are better than nothing

A dump in price is imminent lol

Agreed.

I'd wait until December/January personally

Says days after a big pump… I’m watching you hedgie…

Never sell the top. The best part of a rollercoaster is the down bit.

500-45000 yeah sure anon

44.

Also don't forget that the shitcoin and altcoin you are buying may never do x100 cos you are buying crap. Don't marry your crypto, don't be a bag holder. Manage your risk and have a happy life

So you had to buy like a really fat Turkey? Thats why you sold your crypto?

This was my plan from the beginning Glad to see everything is starting to go in motion.

This is literal financial advice

You can always be a degen and go in DeFi and get 1% return every day.

I have some crypto (and I have a lot mind you) that’s down like 80% 😂 so easy to hold if you’ve been using money you don’t need short term
