It's a zero sum game. Someone always loses. Someone is always stuck holding the bag. That's how trading works, no getting around it.
No. There is so much wrong with that, it's just not true.
You think you're in altcoins to take other people's money and be the winner while someone else is the loser. But any market that works like that cannot survive, and that's not what I do when I trade.
In every industry, manufacturers buy raw materials. The people selling the raw materials are selling for more than it cost them, so they're making money. The manufacturers are buying the materials for less than they could buy anywhere else, so both parties are getting a good deal.
Then the manufacturers take the raw materials and make a product, and they sell it for more than it cost them to make. People buy it for less than they could buy it anywhere else, so they're both getting a good deal.
That's what the point is. Not to profit at someone else's expense, like you are trying to do.
Even in stocks, it's not true that "someone always loses". Your ideas about the world are just weird and wrong.
Companies sell stock to raise funds, so that they can invest and increase profits. People buy the stocks, and if the company does increase profits then people can sell the stocks for more than they paid. Then the people who bought the stocks from them can get dividends and continue to make money.
It works the same with cryptocurrencies. People bought Bitcoin for 10 cents, and they sold it for 1 dollar. The people who bought for 1 dollar sold for 3 dollars. The people who bought for 3 dollars sold for 10 dollars, and those people sold for 30, and those people sold for 100, and those people sold for 200.
People kept making money every step of the way.
So you're wrong when you say "someone is always stuck holding the bag". If you sell for less than you paid, you're probably doing it wrong.
If your coin loses value, then you can buy more if you want. Or you can help by participating in the community and contributing to the coin's development, taking an active role in the success of your investment. Or you could just wait for someone else to do it.
Or, you could buy a coin, sell it for less than you paid, and then insult the people who didn't willingly take a loss. But there's not much profit in that.
We are bad for selling our coins on the free market to someone who chooses to buy them from us, and then coming here to warn others that we were right?
No, but you were criticizing me for buying the coin and wanting the price to go up. So I just pointed out that you did worse already. If I do sell some XAI - which I haven't - I won't go and try to ruin the price for the people who just gave me their money.
By that logic, if selling our coins was a bad decision and all of a sudden Joe reappears with a massive update and the price skyrockets, the person who bought my coins at a low price stole from me!
Exactly. By your logic, if Joe reappears and the price skyrockets, then YOU scammed HIM. Pretty stupid, isn't it? So stop thinking that way.
The coin exists, and I'm doing something with it. You're not involved with the coin anymore, but you want it to fail. What do you call that?
