before choosing between the two, it is better to understand the characteristics between trading and investing, so that we can determine which one to choose. for me choosing both would be better, especially for trading, if later I become a pro trader, then I can meet my daily needs from trading results, and the results from investments can be used as savings. it is not easy to trade, because it has complex problems. but I think enjoying the process will be better, and when it's time to retire, we can still make daily money from the trading business. most people who fail to trade because they give up, of course we can take lessons from all of that, because the learning process is not in a short time

besides that psychologically people will underestimate small capital, for example if we trade with small capital then we are less focused on observing all conditions, and think more because of small capital then it's okay to lose. On the other hand, we learn to use large funds according to our individual abilities, so there will be a lot of pressure that will be faced, so we tend to be more careful and can trade regularly because we really think it is real money, not just try or play around in trading, and of course from the two comparisons we can judge whether the losses are using small capital

the internet opens up many job opportunities and of course is not bound by time so we can manage our own time. both online and offline jobs have their respective advantages and disadvantages, so we must be able to sort them according to their respective characteristics. one person may be successful at an offline job, but perhaps someone else may be successful at an online job, or even some people work at both. The paths taken are different, as long as we can enjoy it, I think it will produce maximum results, and for the current era where the price of necessities is getting higher, I think finding more than one source of income would be better to support the increasingly high necessities of life

That's not called trading but gambling. You are basically gambling without knowing which side the price should go.
Although I don't recommend this kind of trading, it's good to know you are willing to hold such a long time of "next super cycle".
Most people panic sell at times of high volatility and using stop loss is a must when trading. So I would advise you to start using stop losses soon.

You should first consider that crypto values fluctuate and go up or down very easily, meaning you can lose a lot of money in a short time if you choose the wrong coin.
do a thorough research on the coin you choose, and my advice is that you should choose the top or oldest altcoin that has a good footprint especially in the long term because long term is the best option that will provide good returns. But it all depends on the coin you choose, so it's best to study and understand the risks associated with the coin you choose before committing and using the money you can afford to lose

Yes that's right. So if we talk about investment, of course, our income must be greater than expenses, meaning that there are indeed more funds that can be invested. the key is not to use mediocre money to invest, especially with debt because if we are already using debt, it means that it is not an investment, actually the aspect is more speculative, the first short term is too risky.

if you want to invest, we have to talk about financial conditions that must be healthy first, of course, income must be greater, indeed, there are already emergency funds set aside. then also other things that are already available in advance including protection. The rest we can make spare money. The meaning of reserve money is settling money that is owned in the long term, this money is not used for living needs for at least the next five years. The suggestion is, create a scenario where you get a salary at the beginning of each month, you are used to setting aside funds for savings every month, you place the remaining funds at the end of the month in an investment instrument because you think these funds will not be used, that is reserve money.

That second question is the important one. One penny per day that doubles everyday for 30 days is over 5.5 million dollars, so if you are doing that for 30 days then I will be able to wait for 30 days and that's fine. But, if you asked me 1 million today or 5.5 million in 10 years?

I would say 1 million today because I can make that into 10 million and more in 10 years anyway. Not just trader but even long term investor could do that and that is why it's so important. People need to realize that we are at a breaking point in the crypto world where it could go up, so if you give me a million dollars today, I would simply put that in top bitcoin and even in the shot 2 year term I could make more than double that easily, probably a lot more. So always pick the million today, makes more sense.

It's not how life should be lived. However, it is due to the way the system has been set up that society may continue to develop and move in a dynamic manner. When I think about it the way you do, I also get sad and depressed, but what makes me happy is returning every day to my family and the sincere and loving friends I have in my life.

It's not doubt that Bitcoin is best for retirement but I won't gamble my future with just Bitcoin only, that's too risky, Bitcoin is no doubt the best digital currency but when we are talking about retirement plans it should not be the only plan you have, we don't know what the future of Bitcoin will look like and I am not ready to gamble on that, instead you have to be prepared for any possibility,  nothing in this world is guaranteed and just because Bitcoin is the best doesn't make the risks gone forever.

The fact that in Europe, and above all in Germany, they began to abandon nuclear power plants is not such a stupid policy. The world is already entering a period of dramatic climate change across the planet. This process will be accompanied by strong cataclysms, such as volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, earthquakes, floods. It is still fresh in our memory how an eruption in the ocean led to the disaster at the Fokushima-1 nuclear power plant in Japan. The countries of Europe logically do not want a repetition of this on their territory. Therefore, there is accelerating the program for the introduction of alternative energy sources such as solar panels and wind generators, as well as other types of "green" energy are being developed. Most likely, the future belongs to them.

The problem everyone see is that the BCCI has an upper hand in the decisions of ICC. Personally i am not happy that politicians are interfering in sports and that should be independent from any sporting events but that is not the case with Cricket even though there are no restriction on other sporting events between India and Pakistan but as you mentioned Cricket is the most followed sport in both countries and hence the hype.

Kholi did play well. But thats so unfortunate that Bengaluru team won't be able to win the match
Gujarat team is in full form and they are having an edge over the other team.

Everything takes time and a proper approach towards its growth.  Maybe months, years, decades, who knows?  But once it has taken the pace, it will gradually start to grow more and move as we move towards the future.  You cannot become a millionaire overnight, it will take time and effort in order to make that happen.  Some goes with Bitcoin growth.  We have seen in the past that Bitcoin has slowly but surely grown.  As you have mentioned, like people used to say that no one will own one bitcoin in their wallet.  Now see how much it has grown.  And now the numbers are just going to go up. This is like once a thing start to grow, it will pick up the pace and nothing can stop it. Bitcoin is moving towards that direction for sure. Not everyone can afford to own 1 Bitcoin in their wallet, but the number of people owning Bitcoin will grow as we keep moving towards the future. The total number of people will increase, and the number will skyrocket.  It's just gonna need some time.

The goal of traders and investors in general is about returns, but what differentiates the two is about when they will take the profits. Traders tend to focus on shorter time frames than investors, they can be consistent depending on trends and trading strategies but in my opinion it's difficult.

The level of difficulty in maintaining profitability depends heavily on the trading strategy of each trader. The liquidity of the market will also affect it, but in the end I can only agree that investors are the big winners in the crypto market.

Sometimes the team doesn't defines the success of a project, I have seen projects back then early 2017 that came up with cool concept and with good team who were working tirelessly to make sure everything are being put to front, also with adequate protections in terms of security aspect.
But actually the project didn't survive why?

Because they couldn't raised the required funds during their ICO's and tell me if then someone choose to venture into their project don't you think that is a waste of resources?
And then there were lots of scammer who internationally want to scammer people with their hand ear money, what I actually sense from project that would be successful is that if the team are self funded and already made at this they won't purely depends on their sales to raise funds to further develop the project rather looking on their funds after which they got listed.

Most investors in crypto usually have the top 10 coins, its not surprising if you listen to those advice to just invest on those cryptocurrencies.
If you have more than billions of PEPE, you can be assure that some may react you're a shitcoiner but whatever you have in your portfolio is good enough for you no matter what we say.  What matters is whether you can sell your tokens profitably.

Dude what in the fuck are half of you even talking about? Honestly, you guys who comment shit and have absolutely no idea what you're saying, you really should be embarrassed.  Do yourselves a favor and take a few minute and use this cool tool called google that can actually explain what a bear and bull market are.

OP in simple terms, not by an definition, a Bear market is when the stock market is going up, and more people are buying equities than selling, and a bear market is the opposite.  It's a term that's been adopted to other types of markets, such as cryptocurrencies.

There is one point the OP mentioned which is _almost exclusive to Bitcoin and really
counts on its decentralised nature and that is the transfer of it from one person to
another without the receiver having to incur taxes.

I think the saying should be “the more money you spend in trying to make more money, the more money you get in return”. You can’t spend money on frivolous activities and hope to get some more money in return. It’s absurd.
There’s a phrase I know which is  “making your money work for you”. This entails having some good and viable investments and perhaps some sort of business that would actually bring in profits for you after you must have sunk some good money into it. You’ve got to spend some money to make more money and I don’t mean buying things you would have no need for later on.

Everybody or institution is entitled to their own opinion. People are free to see things differently based on their experiences and views. They are seeing the crypto sector through the lens of the current abuse of crypto coin creation and investment. Even as we speak now hundreds of shitcoins is been created. These developers are flooding the market with worthless coins that crumble in no time.

Some people see the sector as a get-quick-rich avenue. These people have turned the crypto space into a casino. They buy various risky shitcoins intending to sell them off in a few days and make instant profit.

But we shouldn't also forget that anti-crypto forces will keep on giving the sector a bad name to discourage people from abandoning the failing banks.
