Polkadot are currently growing quite positively, and if it is seen from a profit perspective, then I don't think we have to think about a sudden drop or excessive bear market, because in fact they are currently in a positive trend

There is always a risk in every investment. the key is to do as much detailed research as possible. I see that they are self-funded projects right? if they have a product that is really interesting (meaning have a real use case) and is also able to get listed on the top tier exchange, maybe you can consider buying it

Yes, the trend is quite positive starting this morning, and I think the price will go up soon. Apart from that the recovery in bitcoin prices did not disappoint, even though it fell to the $36k price level in the average price. There are many other possibilities, but I think Ethereum has some positive possibilities

I'm not against Lockdown, but I don't think some of the regulations implemented by the government are right on target. In making a regulation, of course the government takes serious considerations, including in overcoming economic disparities from every aspect, because as the OP said, not all people have the same economic capacity. Also, in the school system for children, I really don't like it, children have to go to school, albeit with fairly strict preventive measures for their safety

That's right, it's what it's. what you have got, it is your decision. don't regret it for too long. and events like this will definitely happen, as long as we are able to set our profit and goals in trading, I don't think that's a problem

TBH, some influencers don't even know the project they're promoting. I'm just afraid that people will get caught in a scam because of the influencers they idolize promoting the project. Always do your research, these are the most basic things in investing, make sure that your money is safe and in the right hands

Introducing crypto through Meme as well as shared hobbies is great and inspiring. maybe not many think the same as me, but in my opinion degecoin is indeed better if it is used as an everyday payment system, at a more affordable price and at a good speed, those are some of the advantages of using Doge. Besides that, business owners can also use Doge as a rewards system, because its relatively affordable value makes it easier for business owners to develop their business

For now it may not be "specifically" compatible enough for the government. if it's to pay employees like restaurants, or sports players, I guess that's fine. for now crypto still needs regulations that support and become the basis for making crypto a fairly complex government instrument

Maybe bitcoin is almost impossible to dump like in 2018, there are many things that can be considered such as institutions that hold large amounts of bitcoin and also many big brands that are starting to accept bitcoin. even so the market cycle will still occur, even though we don't know when it will happen

It is true, as long as we can find opportunities in any market scale, it is okay to buy them. But if you see, a lot of big institutions buy bitcoin before the price is above the $30k range, they do have a big influence on the overall price movement of bitcoin, but I'm also sure they will choose the best time to buy bitcoin.

As you have said, Defi is just a system, whereas to determine the worth or not of an investment, it all depends on the product. so as long as the defi project has a clear product and real use case, then it's still good

What is quite confusing is, there are still people who buy the vaccine. I don't know whether they don't trust their local government regulating vaccinations, or they (sellers of the dark web) are smart enough to make a narrative, so that someone will buy the vaccine anyway, even though I'm sure there's no 100% chance of the vaccine can verify the origin

Again, it's not a matter of right or wrong to buy expensive bitcoins, but about your investment style. if you are a day trader then it is not a problem as long as you can maintain your daily profit, but if you are a long-term holder, then it will be a little less profitable, because the essence of long-term investing is to buy dips and sell at a certain level of profit.

This, this is because the ICO still has an immature structure. but it's a different story if a project that uses an ICO has proven to be legit (the team and product can be confirmed), then that won't be a problem. So actually ICOs still exist, it's just that investors now also understand how to choose projects, and if you don't have a strong enough foundation then some projects prefer IEOs.

This is still a little sketchy in terms of ethereum, apart from the already high price, I think the probability of going to be 50x is quite small. if you have a "go big or go home" mentality, it's better to choose a more affordable altcoins like Cardano (your choice is right), XRP or maybe Nem

With ethereum still not solving their fees and another network issue, I'm sure other developers looking to make a good product are looking for better alternatives. And the good thing is, in the last few weeks there have been several projects with good products using the Polkadot protocol, of course this could be a sign that there is a shift from ethereum dominance to polkadot (although not on a large scale)

Shocked? yes, I was shocked. but don't panic. I just feel like this drop is too drastic. and after looking at chart analysis, I'm sure this is just another pullback. so no big deal. Altcoin season hasn't even started yet and people are already talking about their panic, let's stick with bitcoin as usual

Confidence is quite important bro, but in certain portions. the rest is analysis and calculation. If the project you invested in wasn't great from the start, you already know you've been fucked up in investing. so analysis and research is also very important, not just confidence

there is currently a dip in bitcoin and of course ethereum is also affected. I hope there are some developments that can lift the overall crypto price, I mean not only from the bullish trend of bitcoin. btw, still possible for new ATH

Yea, maybe he's still inexperienced. atleast he can seek advice from people who really understand crypto trading or investing instead of just seeking advice from random people. but true, the easiest method maybe he can see the data given by cmc or coingecko, you can start from top 100 or to 50
