altcoins, ICOs, same shit ... meth of greed street

 

Looking good. Shorters prepare to be rekt. Resistance is futile.

You just haven't lost enough money yet then.
I learned my lesson after I was burned several times in the altcoin craze of 2014-2015. I'm now much more conservative in my altcoin "investing".

Get the fuck out of here with your alt coin pumping and your baloney about the supposed benefits of alts versus the supposed "professional" trading on BTC.

Yeah, you may be able to increase your BTC through alts; however, you might also decrease your BTC through alts- so you are suggesting some whimsical and non-specified advice for gambling with alts... and you have not even described how the technique is supposed to work exactly to both 1) identify the alt that you want to trade, 2) time the trading, 3) make sure that you do not get scammed because there are a lot of alt coin scams out there, 4) make sure that you do not get locked into the alt.. sometimes it can be easier to get into alts, but getting out might be more challenging and 5) any other alt coin trick that may be helpful in figuring out what to do and when to do it.

O.k.  Maybe I misunderstood your first response in this string?  I thought that you were suggesting that you had a better strategy of increasing your bitcoin, but instead you seem to have been rolling your eyes at yourself, and agreeing that you may have been better off if you had just kept your money in bitcoin.

I did look at your steemit article, too, and I don't necessarily agree with your thesis that you might be the "unluckiest" guys in bitcoin because there are a lot of peeps who make similar mistakes as you - to sell their bitcoins too early and to attempt to trade in alt coins and to cause a situation that is worse than if they had just kept their value in bitcoin.

Sure is!


Sure, but honestly mate, once you're addicted to altcoins, there's hardly any way out.

Thats not wormsign its bullhorn.

I have seen these laws used mostly to fuck up drug dealers.  Good riddance.

Picking obvious trades and defending your position is reasonably easy.  Just go with established momentum.    

Can I humbly suggest you start by not selling any more BTC for alt-coins?

Painful on levels. sfyl

I've had enough of experience now, have lot to share from it, and I'll publish something interesting (like a guide) for new-comers soon on Steem or here. But everyone here might find my journey with crypto a bit interesting:

"You think you've been the most unfortunate guy in crypto? Well, read my story and think again!"

 Is that a pearl necklace!?  Vitalik you dog!
 

Well lucky for his sister she's not as ugly as he is!

I don't know what you mean by "trivial amount."  I used to keep a bit more than 50% of my BTC portfolio value on exchanges, and I really was not putting that value on the exchanges to use.  A lot of the value was just sitting there on the exchanges, just-in-case.   

After BTC prices went above $1k, and then prices kept going up from there, I began to realize that I likely don't really need to keep that much money on exchanges in order to accomplish my goals, and really the risk of keeping the value seemed to be going up a lot causing the worth of even previously considered "dust" to begin to seem like a lot of money (value).

In recent times, I am keeping around 20% of the total value on exchanges, and it is just the amount of money that I would need for the prices to go DOWN a lot (such as 80% from the top) or UP a lot (3x from our current price point), and likely I could keep lower value on the exchanges, but I think that I am more covered for very extreme prices changes, and I would not have to move the money at the last moment.  I did put enough BTC on exchanges to be prepared up to $35k BTC prices because we were moving UP so fast in December 2017 - but probably now, I could remove some of that BTC, perhaps and only prepare for $25k (but I do feel o.k. preparing for $35k, just in case).

So, you could have 10% to 20% of your BTC portfolio value on exchanges in order to prepare for UP and DOWN without having to put all of your value on exchanges.  Further, currently, I have my exchange value distributed across 4 exchanges.  Currently, I am having some ongoing issues with my coinbase account, so I still have 3 exchanges that I can work with until my coinbase matter is hopefully resolved (been a little over 2 weeks so far with those coinbase fucks).

If you crypto, they will come.

Now, you are trying to act as if you are smart, or something. 

You should be smart enough to realize that past performance does not indicate future results; however, if you have a system that is working for you, and it seems to work under a variety of market conditions, then you have something that you might want to share with others.

I do personally, try to share my strategies, to the extent that others are interested in discussing - however, sometimes, it takes a bit of time to describes what seems to work and what does not work.

Do you have anything in particular that you want to share that you believe might be good or repeatable, or you just want to keep your supposedly superb strategies private?

Hang on to your socks, boys and girls...
