Case in point. This guy obviously didn't take the time to understand my comments, simply jumped to posting smart-ass replies, and really doesn't get what we are doing here. How do these kids get enough allowance to buy Cryptos in the first place?
That's what I wonder too. I guess they pointed their gaming rigs at dogecoin and made some btc. Now after chatting in Poloniex troll box they think crypto is a video game and that coins go up and down based on certain hit points criteria.
He accuses us of not understanding crypto. He doesn't understand that one day crypto currencies will be actual currencies the world uses. So the real investment is in which ones will have security, utility and wide adoption one day. His .001 btc profit day trading will cause him to contemplate taking a swig of bleach as the best surviving crytpos will have hundred billion dollar market caps in the future.
Your misunderstanding is that someone mentioned 6 months as an example and you've taken it to be some kind of magic number.
It could be 6 months. It could be 2 months. It could be 10 months. Nobody knows because nobody can see the future. So you can't just sell now and buy back in 6 months to see it shoot up, because 1) nobody knows when the price will rise, so if you wait there is a good chance you'll miss the boat, and 2) the price rise will probably be gradually in increments over the course of that time anyway, so there may never be a massive jump by orders of maginitude in a single day -- but that doesn't mean it won't go up by a hell of a lot when you look at it over a longer period of time.
