In following the convo, the issue isn't whether you invest and/or trade in btc or not, it's arguably being an obtuse devil's advocate of fiat > btc. Being a DA isn't a problem, it's one that doesn't process new fact-based information offered in correction to outdated perceptions. You could also say the same of btc-maxi's (until btc decouples from the market - if such an event occurs). Discussion and dialogue are important, so I acknowledge the role your playing as important. Not is this thread but in another, as I was fact-checking for current stats; it turns out that the energy mix cited BTC renewable's claim has to be adjusted due to China's crack down. Renewables, not just coal, largely powered BTC mining ops in China.
I think I'm being misunderstood if you think I'm arguing fiat vs bitcoin. I'm arguing that at the moment, bitcoin is not something I would invest in and if I did I would have it on a tight leash. I'm arguing that buy and hold is not a good strategy. I'm arguing that it is difficult to value bitcoin. As far as store of value I'm saying that if I needed a certain amount of cash in the near future I'd keep it in cash.
Well, if you look at it as a speculative asset that is now following the NDX, (which it kinda' is), and are noticing how it has found a floor at ~$20,000 (which it has), and correlate the two, then if you believe the BTC has bottomed, then you believe the NDX has bottomed. Do some research then on the NDX, and you will find your entry point for BTC investment.
I started investing in crypto a few months ago. Plus I play nft games chainers right now where I can test my skills, complete missions and undertake tasks. In this game I can get in-game tokens while playing. Great way to have some fun and earn some extra coins. In the future every player will be able to monetize in-game achievement and start earning.
I'm gonna watch this later (at 2x speed so its not as painful), but this guy has to be one of the worst shills. Every video is practically the same with the same pumping for crypto gaming. The guy puts out multiple videos a day even (although I see now the posting history is more sparse). Honestly, he is the male version of a whore since every extra video brings in extra dollars, no matter how repetitive the content, so he just pumps out more crap. God, just look at the thumbnails. The pathetic worried face look, the constant catch phrases like "urgent" or emergency, most important, warning pain.... And they of course have to be colorful too to attract more attention. I'm only gonna watch the video so I can laugh at his losses, but honestly, even then I don't trust him because shills like this are hardly ever honest about what they did.
Elliot did a lot of shilling of tokens he invested in and it rekt a lot of people, but if allocating even a small amount to a few of the shills he did and selling at 2-3x, not even 10x or 100x, it would have been profitable Basically thinking of it like using a "shill" to profit ----- Personally, I do not believe Elliot was a malicious actor in the crypto space, but I respect your opinion of him I think of him like George who are out there sharing trading ideas and there were large amount of profits that could have been made from those If I did not take profits, then it's my fault, not Elliot's or George The malicious actors are the likes of BitBoy or Ran Neuner who shilled tokens and projects and used their audience and followers as exit liquidity when they sold as those videos were released ------ I was there during DeFi summer, and profited from AAVE (when it was still symbol LEND and 100x reverse split), AMPL CEL, SUSHI, YAM v1/v2, DOGE, SHIB (spoiler alerts) and I can tell you that a few thousand $ can turn into $500K even over $1M I was there. I saw it and experienced it. The liquidity was there, easily could cash out I love BTC and I think ETH is bluechip, but tremendous amount of wealth are created during crypto bull markets in the altcoins
