Bitcoin Forum

Over the years, I am impressed by the growth we have seen with the leading cryptocurrencies, the likes of Ether, Solana and memes like Pepe, wif and Toncoin.

If I am given the power to go back in time, I'd have stacked up more Eth and Btc, and those coins that made the internet go wild, I mean look at their marketcap and how much they're now valued. And now it makes sense to me why people are passionate about getting these tokens from those aidrops, spin wheel, staking and all and wouldn't it make sense to conclude that why the so called "sh*t" coins are thriving even though their use is vague is to get back what they missed in the top performing coins?

Going back in time I think in the wake of the early cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum the risk of incurring losses seemed to have been somehow less than the current rising memecoins/tokens that is now invoke for investors. The task of knowing the right memecoin to hold is another herculean task.

In the strive to gain from these trending meme tokens so much money has gone into thin air with many of the investors losing than gaining. A lot of pump and dumps here and there.

Just as you would say this in the past, you are saying it now. Instead of dwelling on the past, you should buy more and more established coins like BTC and ETH. Investing in meme coins is a waste of time and you know it well. There are few cases of people succeeding with this type of strategy.

Sometime when there are token that massively promoted in this forum, it have a chance to go big.

I remember there were many people keep shilling Bitget and Ton in this forum, now both of them become big. For Solana it become big because they can offer cheaper fee during NFT hype, while Pepe and WIF, they're going big without any reason.

If life itself could be full of risk, then whatever thing we are doing could also constitute same risk, we can't be assured of what we are going for by hundred percent until we see the end of it happened, if we think some have made it in the past through some of these, then it's time for us to also take up the challenge to earn and make use of the same opportunity and risk earning them by giving a try, if it works, then we are lucky and if it doesn't, then we move on.

exactly, people just want another chance of hitting it big with the newer shitcoins though 99% of shitcoins just gonna get forgotten after the first year or after the bullish cycle is done.

however, investing into shitcoin is a really costly business and full of speculation, not to mention the scammers, the amount of money gone because of scammers are higher than you can ever think. people just didn't notice it because they are too distracted with the hype and all.

like already stated by some people here, there are so many losers compared to winner in the market and the gap is really huge like 1% against 99% and it's mainly because of rampant scammers.

Of course if everyone can go back in time, I think most of us are going to buy thousands of Bitcoin and Ethereum and secure it in a wallet no doubt about it. And that's why we see early investors that really become so rich, self made million because they "bet" that Bitcoin and Ethereum is going to go up in the next decade or so. However, the only way to get crypto right now is to really buy and hold, there's no more airdrop that could be worth unlike before.

In staking, you need some money too, to make more money. But still though if you are really passionate to make profits here, you will do like buying and holding or trading. That's the only way for us to make money in this market.

It makes sense. This is why people compete for free money. It likes when you missed a chance to buy some tokens, like ethereum and solana, when they were still cents. But, there will always be a chance in the new crypto. So, they did everything to gamble in the new crypto.

Even shitcoin can give you bunch of money. People don't really care with the usefulness of their crypto, but they cared so much about the hype. In the past, many called the Samo meme token crap. But, if you sold it at its all-time high after getting the Samo airdrop, you could have made 200k USD.

The simple thing is, if crypto always offers you a chance to make money at a new token when you missed the old one.

There's nothing we could do about what happen on the past. Since no one predict the growth of cryptocurrencies and if they reach that far.

Crypto is unstable that's why many thought that its hard for the price to pump the same at what we are seeing.

That's why its no sense to regret on something we don't have any control. But we can do something at current situation since everyone still could do some action and decide good towards their future with cryptocurrency.

The potential and developments doesn't stop their so hopefully we won't have the same regrets again then do more good decision on top crypto that we want to invest.

Looking back, it's easy to see where we could have made better moves in the crypto space. But that's what drives the FOMO we're seeing today—no one wants to miss out again. The Mega Dice Token presale is a perfect example of this. People are jumping in now, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle before it explodes onto the market.

Since you can't go back in time like you have thought, it better to take the present opportunity that you can grab now. Just as someone already mentioned, the days of using a penny to make a 100,000x profit in crypto is over, you have to invest a significant amount before you can earn a good amount of profit. There are still some token in the market that can make you rich depending on how much you invest and also how long you can hold but you can't just be able to know the particular coin or token that it is.

I know it is out of context... but you mentioned Pepe.. so does Pepe Unchained holds some potential? I know that it has strong, engaging community... but any other + points to look fwd to?

It's a different time with more risks, but also more x's at stake. Everybody's choice, realistically speaking ;D

You are right, there are many altcoins that got shilled on here and they did so well in 2021 unpon all the hate from BTC fans, the thing is we should learn to give room to.memecoins, you don't have to invest a lot on them, just $20 here and there will do, I believe pepe and bonk like will do very well, but in the end many people will still lose money because they won't be able to secure their gains due to greed.

I can see many people saying that gaming isn't going to do shit, they will be shocked, my advice is to put money on every good utilities out there and let meme coins be the smallest of them all, once ETH makes a new all time high we will see massive gains on all altcoins, most of the time it includes even the shitcoins too.

I know about PEPE which is still hype coin, it's top 25th rank according to Coinmarketcap. Which is PEPE Unchained? is it other MEME coins launching copycat from PEPE? is it listed on exchanges? i never heard about it. Can you provide their community link or website link? i didn’t find such project in CMC.

it all comes down to finding opportunity and the next top performing tokens like as you said, people dont wanna miss so they are trying all opportunities available, who knows if they are lucky they can settle down with the big money they are making.
meme coin works exactly that, the entire market rely on the hopes that there will be a meme coin that suddenly reach $300 million market cap and more.

right now the latest trend is DOGS, no fundamental, nothing in a nutshell, but it works to attract hype and valued high, that's just how the game is :D. for someone that seeks profit, the only way is to ride the train.

Just because something goes up, doesn't mean we missed it if it goes down. There will be tokens and what not projects that will go up at times, that doesn't mean that we need to make it work, we could just avoid that and there is nothing wrong with it, if you want to avoid something then you are free to avoid it as much as you want.

This is why I believe that we are going to end up with a bit of a troubled period during this time. I do believe that we are going to end up with a good return if we are given enough time, we just need to figure out how to make something work. In the end, if we want to invest carefully, then we are going to do fine, and because of that we should be considering how this works in the end.

FOMO exists for a reason, it's our nature to crave to be at the center of the info to use it, and when we don't, thoughts about missing out on it appear ;D Though nothing bad happened and more opportunities will come for sure.

We must be happy in fact because it is like that coin is giving us a chance but this can still depend on the coin because if it was a scam coin or a low-quality one, there is still a chance that they won't recover again. Anyways, the real ones that can make people say that they have missed the boat is if the coins value have already pumped up. The market works in cycle and there is also a bear after a bull but a solid coin won't still dump a lot anymore if it's already been too long it is pumping. That should build them a good price point or base price already.

In investing, not all hours are happy but even on our normal lives as well, right? So, what's the difference? Hehe. If we can find a remedy on them, we only need to figured out how we can survive the bad times in the crypto market as well.

Of course I would do the same thing if I went back in time, but that is no longer possible for us to do, now we just need to prepare ourselves for the future so that there are no regrets like now. holding is a reasonable way in my opinion to improve life in the future, of course with altcoins that have the potential

For me, I think we missed these coins already. Although , I do participate in some events to earn them but I don't expect much. I know there is always another chance in crypto and thats why I don't always expect much from high marketcap coins but earn them through exchanges events and more..

It is actually difficult to forget by remembering the past that may still be in our minds because everything is over, and now we are starting to fix it all, by entering the world of crypto and altcoin which has the potential to generate profits if we dig it seriously, of course we have to study it first.

Most of the people who saw Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies early regret that they did not hold large amounts until now, I am one of the people who got good amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum early but I let it go because I did not expect that its value would rise so much one day.

Anyway yes I agree with you, probably most of the people who are buying shitcoins now are trying to make up for what they missed by buying strong currencies early and hoping that these currencies will explode one day to make up for the profits they missed.

The past is never forgotten, but we make the past an experience that is useful for all of us. Starting from the first bitcointalk forum, the price of bitcoin appeared very low because it had not yet become a field for seeking profits and future investment, after several years passed bitcoin and also Another overlooked coin is making a splash in the digital world. If I could do it again, I would buy a lot of coins that are currently popular, such as Bitcoin, Ether and other altcoins that have successfully developed in the crypto space to this day.

I could remember during the time when the price of Bitcoin was still at $15k, their are so many investors then buying and selling, trading Bitcoin and Etherum with ease without knowing that the price could ever reach even $30K within a space of time. A lot of things have passed especially those that have been in the crypto market for so long now experiencing different phases of the market. It is also important for us to learn from those that have been in the market for so long because their experiences can be a motivation for many newbies that have plans of staying in the market for so long making money for themselves.

Beside not being right time at the right place, i am thinking that one of the reasons why people miss those coins has roots in same place as their regret of it. Because i don't think that these people get what does it feel like to invest on something you have no idea if they moon or not, or how far they moon before dying. I would bet all my money on the fact that people who are bashing their heads against the wall saying "if i only knew about this coins i would have bought early", that they wouldn't have bought any. Reason is same why they aren't buying winners now.

And if you fantasize about going back in time in order to be rich, it doesn't really seem that you are looking for right solutions if you rather see bending the time worth thinking about more, than finding the next real world thing.

I participated in some events in ByBit, they offering lucrative Rewards as like now a even is ongoing in their platform, if you will deposit 100$ USDT and trade DOGS coin with this amount, then you will get 192k DOGS coin, it’s a massive offers for 10k users but it will only eligible for new ByBit users who created account after 17th August.

Well yes some of those alt coins did give investors very big gains. And they were rewarded for hodling them even when there was a 'bear market'.
But we need to remember the 2 main coins btc and eth are best to put in our portoflios. Because even when they are not giving us profit we know it will happen again. But we can not say this for the new couns like Solana and meme coins.
We know it is not true now but those could be rug pulls or scams. And that is not something we must think about for btc and eth.

If this was coming from a hero member I would have said that ' I thought altcoins are all scams' because many top rank members believe that Altcoins are all scams, but for me I have seen many of them surviving the harsh reality of every bear market.

I knew DIA, Cartesi, PYR and many more in 2020, few topics were created on the forum about the coins then and the replies were about how they won't matter in a year or two, mainly after a massive bull market, but to their surprise these altcoins are still alive and still developing.

I guess these people are all Bitcoin lovers, they like Bitcoin too much that they don't want to see something else survive?maybe?

I missed Wif due to my stupidity and would never be negligent again, to my guts

I always keep my eyes on some telegram groups for education and all

Realizing that you do not have to catch everything is the first step of becoming a good trader and investor. I know that it is not going to be that great feeling but at the end of the day we can make it work and we should consider not pushing ourselves too much, it is not a big deal. I know it is a sensitive subject but it can be done and we should consider that as very normal.

Maybe it is not that easy of a feeling, but it's still something that we can do, and that's the most important part. I know that feeling of not realizing which one is great could be a bad deal, but at the end if you feel like you are fine by losing a few of them and not realizing they could be big, then you are fine. I miss so many, I feel just fine about it.

I think most of us here has a regrets for not buying or staking, trading, etc., of those coin but we cannot blame out self or anyone because we don't know that this rising of thier price happen, we don't know that those coin will become successful, if only we will know that those coin will become successful we will surely brought the coin even if we take a loan to invest into it, no one has a power to predict even expert so that is normal, all we can do now is to learn from what we experience based on the present situation and keep going don't become affected by the past soon will earn.

If you analyze the market and analyze human nature you will find a clear picture of why obscure coins or shitcoins can be excellent in their eyes.

First, in talking about the market then we will see how big the Hype is, there is no doubt that the Hype factor of a token will attract many buyers, this is the same as clothes and others, everyone will fomo and want to buy it, therefore when a token is Hype and discussed everywhere it will make the token a lot of buying.

Second, the problem with humans themselves, we know why a lot of people don't invest in a clear project development and have asset fundamentals that can be considered feasible for investment, but choose a bad coin that has no clear utility, usually they are attracted because of the exponential price increase, at the beginning with a price of $0.00001 and reaching $0.00 it is an extraordinary thing and can make someone rich in the near future, the possibility factor is a consideration at the moment of Hype that makes people buy/invest in projects like that.

Because there are millions of things that pop up like this all the time.  Nobody knows which one will actually far exceed it's original value.  It's more likely ypu lose money pucking a coin that gaining though.  I think for the most part it's luck amd just being on the right coin at the right time.

Trying to figure out which ones will be the most profitable one to invest is a hard job, not everyone can do it easily and a lot of people make huge mistakes when they are chasing the best ones, I feel like it has to be something that takes a bit longer time and we may end up with a bit harder waiting period when we invest carefully but the return will be there nevertheless.

It's clear that we may not really end up with something that can take a while, it is going to be something that will not be simple, we just need to fix something that causes some issues for people, and for that to mean something it is going to be not that easy to figure out neither.

So all in all, I would say that it is going to be not easy, but can be done with time. If you keep on trying to find tokens that will go 100x, you will almost always end up losing money, there is a one in a few thousand chance that you might be right, and at that point you might as well just go gamble. If you want that type of return, gambling offers you that anyway and you can do that. I do not want to risk my investment that way, so I try to avoid it as much as I can, which results with great results with time, so it's easier to handle.

I think almost everyone would say the same thing even to those that have crazy portfolio of Bitcoin and altcoins. We all want to make more money and we are never contented with what we have. The people that would be very regretful about their ignorance of not investing in cryptocurrency are people that got the information earlier, know friends that invested their money and are still benefiting from it in a long run. We need to always invest in the future because that is how we could be surprised of making good money online without much agitations.

If everyone is given the power to go back, then they will have invested in coins that are performing well currently, but it’s not just possible, so the best thing is just for everyone to plan themselves well ahead of the future, so that we not going to regret, and if we investing, most of our investment should be in bitcoin, that’s the only coin that gives me confidence after investing in it, then we can decide to leave some little amount in some strong altcoins, am not talking about meme coins, because I never trusted any meme coin, so I won’t recommend anyone to even try to hold it for long term.

I think that is excellent to here to be surprised by growth, which has happened with leading cryptocurrencies like Ether and Bitcoin, recent entrants, and even meme tokens. Look Back: It can easily be comprehended as to why people would want to personify these features, more so with the enormous variety and attractive benefits in store.

It makes sense to talk about how one can invest large sums of money into Ethereum and Bitcoin since it has grown hugely in the years. Their successes prove that any cryptocurrency that is taken into acceptance can give good returns.

Your observations of the momentum of new tokens or meme tokens? Although the functionality is not clear, but it's an insight-the interest in these brands runs very large with many people hoping to catch lost opportunities in older and more commonly used cryptocurrencies. Explosions, staking, and other promotional activities further drive home the point that there is a huge appetite for finding the next big thing or cashing in on products that have been successful earlier.

What is essentially required, however, is a balanced approach to investing. As tempting as it may be to follow high returns into these relatively new emergent classes, especially with the success the created tokens have had so far, one must always remember the elements of risk: new tokens or memes which are highly volatile and speculative. Success is often more due to market sentiment and trends rather than intrinsic value.

In my opinion, hindsight often truly is 20/20, but we can't turn back the clocks and alter the choices we've made. It's counterproductive to dwell on this. Instead, a well-thought-out plan for the future is what matters. Intelligent diversification and holding on to proven assets for the long term will help you to minimize regret.

The stability of Bitcoin in such turmoil among the best cryptocurrency resources makes it not only popular but a suitable decision to be included in many investors' portfolios. Its unmatched strength lies in being stable and strong through its reputation. As you have suggested, according to the most conservative approach of trusting and growing in the long-term, one would suggest that the lion's share of your investment should be allocated to Bitcoin.

Altcoins are worth picking and choosing, finding one that actually has great fundamentals and functionality versus just being a speculative coin or even a meme, as you said. Yeah, some of those meme coins might have momentum in the near term, but they often don't have that long-term viability, stability, and sustained reliability that established cryptocurrencies have managed to be so good at.

The best way to minimize the effects of cryptocurrency market volatility is to plan ahead with responsible investment. Concentrate on stable assets and invest smaller portions in altcoins. It would therefore be possible for investors to aspire to a balanced portfolio that demonstrates stability and growth potential.
