3. The creation cost of a coin represents the “wholesale” price - It is always better to buy when the price is close to the creation cost.

5. Patience and timing are key to making profit:
  • Small buys when the price is close to the creation cost spreads out the risk.
  • Small sells when the price is high off the creation cost spreads out profit.


Can you explain what's creation cost of a coin for your assumption? I think I can guess what you mean that you are referring to the costs of mining a coin. I that case I won't say the creation cost is relevant for the price, it's other way round. If the price of a mineable coin goes up, the creation cost per coin will also go up soon because the mining difficulty is rising (more miners are joining the network where the fixed rewards per block are divided between = less coins per miner while their operating costs stay the same).

Didn't get that either, but I assume the same, he refers to the profit margin a miner makes.
But it that case I would do the opposite since when the profit margin is small miners would feel pressed to sell more coins to cover up expenses. If the costs are only 1/10 of what you make, then you sell a smaller quantity.

Or at least that's how I would probably do it, I never had a lot of mining gear and thus expense that would put me in trouble when paying my next electricity bill.
Makes perfectly sense and that's how I would expect it, too. When the profit margin was very high in late 2017 and mining was extremely profitable for a few months (calculated in USD) the expenses for production costs were only a small percentage of the revenue and most miners might have hold some of the unspent BTC whereas one year later, BTC at 3,000$ and difficulty more than tripled, the majority of miners had to sell everything immediately to cover expenses.
However, I don't know in which way such mining economics affect the price, especially when the block reward is getting lower over time. I don't think it has much impact.

1. Never invest in ICO’s - They are complete scams.
Almost all understand it now, but it was months maybe even 2 years that people lost so much money.

2. Crypto is a heavily manipulated commodity and the price can change at any moment.
Not bitcoin, i mean price can change very quick but its so much money in Bitcoin now, that its not easy to manipulate it. Panic of people can drive price far up or far down but thats it.

4. Crypto has a natural cash flow that dictates the sell pressure. For example, 1800 bitcoin are made each day so 1800 bitcoin must be bought at the current price ($18 million of bitcoin when the price is $10,000)
I was considering this, until i stopped. It doesn't make a difference at all now (by me ofc). It was important years ago, but now $18 m is nothing for BTC world.

5. Patience and timing are key to making profit:
in short, HODL Smiley

Does this cover all start ups doing token sales in another form like IEOs or STOs?

Never catch a flying or falling knife. I learned that the hard way so that trading rule is going to stick with me for a very long time.

3. The creation cost of a coin represents the “wholesale” price - It is always better to buy when the price is close to the creation cost.

Now a days many projects were created with very less capital like one or two bitcoin is enough for their complete module but they set their prices way too high so the creation cost is not related to the selling price on ICO,its just related to the desire of project team.

Maybe OP could give us an example on what do right now, based on his assumptions.

As for my rules:

- If you don't know what you're doing, don't trade.
- If you can't afford to lose the money you plan to invest, don't do it.
- Trading is not for everyone, just like other jobs, not everyone is cut for it so think before you act.

Never say never.  Tongue

But right now I agree, there aren't any ICOs I would invest in. Only trash projects / scams.

2. Crypto is a heavily manipulated commodity and the price can change at any moment.
Depends which coin you are referring to, some are extremely manipulated, other ones less. But even Bitcoin is highly volatile and price fluctuations of several 100$/h are happening quite often.

3. The creation cost of a coin represents the “wholesale” price - It is always better to buy when the price is close to the creation cost.

5. Patience and timing are key to making profit:

My rule number one: Don't store your coins on exchanges. In case the exchange is getting hacked, your coins are likely to be lost.

I want to start a new discussion on here covering bitcoin investors "rules". I have 5 simple ones:

1. Never invest in ICO’s - They are complete scams.
2. Crypto is a heavily manipulated commodity and the price can change at any moment.
3. The creation cost of a coin represents the “wholesale” price - It is always better to buy when the price is close to the creation cost.
4. Crypto has a natural cash flow that dictates the sell pressure. For example, 1800 bitcoin are made each day so 1800 bitcoin must be bought at the current price ($18 million of bitcoin when the price is $10,000)
5. Patience and timing are key to making profit:
  • Small buys when the price is close to the creation cost spreads out the risk.
  • Small sells when the price is high off the creation cost spreads out profit.


I have made a video class that explains my rules more in-depth here:
