my predictions have good odds to make actually some real money.
Can you elaborate? This can be a confusing statement when discussing cryptocurrencies. Do you consider fiat to be money?
If with your predictions you managed to get more XMR against a heavier declined fiat price, did you make money? Or if the fiat price of your XMR increased but decreased more against BTC, did you make money?
I should have had been more specific: money here is crypto (XMR or BTC). Not fiat in this case, I try to keep fiat and crypto separate.
I have increased my networth with swing trading XMR-BTC pair. Actually trading it has been the only way to make money with it. Investing has been pretty bad (unless you did not initially buy at 0.001-0.002 levels).
I have made some bad calls obviously but it is enough 51 % of calls are accurate and in case of inaccuracy you cut the loss as fast as possible and when the call is right, let the profit run long enough.
The money I have been making by trading has been used acquiring Monero. Now there is an opportunity to lend XMR to others so I do not need to take too much risk of the fluctuations but still I am able to make money so I do not have an urgency to play pump and dump game also from that matter. And when there will be more opportunities to lend XMR with collateral and high rates, I am willing to employ part of my coins into that purpose, I like to rake/squeeze as many XMR as possible and hold them tight. I do not have any need to spend those coins, currently I am making more than enough in fiat so I do not need to sell my cryptos but I can accumulate more (prefertably by lending/investing).
