Well the guy's willing to spend 5k in bitcoin. It's okay to ask other people's opinion, especially here where a lot of people can be considered as experienced traders and crypto users for the longest time. I think the question is pretty simple as to where he can get btc with his funds. He probably has an idea but want other people's suggestion as well. The only thing for me is, don't base the decision on what others say. Keep their tips in consideration but make your own decision based on your own research and study.

Lol. I don't understand that. If you're trading btc-usdt pair, of course you'll have to sell at a value where you profit in usd. If you're trading btc with an alt pair, i don't think you should be looking at the dollar equivalent  at all. That should be an entirely different considerstion. Just try to make as much btc or crypto pair. Of course you're not going to convert it to fiat when the value is down, right?

Well again this mostly applies to newbie traders who don't have enough experiences yet and get too excited with the movement in value of the coins in their wallets. The more you're in trading, the less you'll be interested in checking the value of your asset all the time. That's because you'll be more aware of it simply by checking current events and being updated with what's happening.

Well, you're already holding a full bitcoin. I don't think i'd choose any other coin to hold as well aside from it. Probably 30 percent would be enough for trading anf holding other coins. Bitcoin for me is still the most logical choice if you're planning on holding a coin for long term. The 30 percent would likely be comprised of tron and ethereum. But that's not to trade, i'd prefer to hold then as well.

Lol. Obviously you don't know what you're talking about dude. Where have you been last year? That pattern doesn't work. December last year was when the market crashed drastically just when everyone was expecting a bull run, just like you. A lot of us have already learned that it doesn't work that way. Dyor.

That still depends. If op doesn't plan on holding for a long time, then even these traditional alts won't be much for someone looking for profit. Even for coins that have actual use already like eth. You need to be able to hold long term. We may be talking about years here before these coins would have value that lives up to their uses.

Lol. A lot of people are going for top coins like eth, bch and ripple. I personally have a significant stash of trx. I'm actually in profit already but waiting for some good newd and less negative pr from justin sun lol. You can say it's a gamble but mostly, any coin would have their own time. Ripple has been timid for the longest time but a lot of people are still supporting it.

It's amuzing that a lot people are being scammed in this day and age when informatiin is easily accessed. I mean, if you're not sure about a certain  info, google it. Scammers thrive through people who don't know what they're doing and they exploit such aspects as extreme emotions.

I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but who would buy btc if it reaches 6 digits? I mean for it to reach that amount, people should be willing to buy bitcoin at 50k, 70k, 90k. If you're earning though just salary, that'd be quite a gamble if you're going to buy in at that range. Of course there will be people who would keep the value moving, but i doubt we'll see 100k in 10 years as you've said.

Lol. It's an old bike and obviously it doesn't have any sentimental value to you since it's been with you for just two years. I'd say it's not bad. It's unlikely that the value of your bike would increase over time. And you're not using it anymore. I think it's a good call. At least you can consider your btc am investment esecially if you're planning to hold that for a while. You're probably going to profit from that.

Well it's more like a rash and careless decision making for overconfident traders. Mostly happens when they close a good trade and earned good bucks. Feeling invincible. I think a lot of traders can relate to this. The problem with being cocky is that you become a little too emotional. It's the same when you're too doubtful. Both would likely get you lost chances in the long run.

Lol. Most of the top coins in the market are moving pretty lame as well. Bitcoin can move fluidly than say, eth or ripple. The fact is, we're not having any of those drastic pumps and dumps anymore. Don't expect anything of the likes of 2017 to happen anytime soon. For me, it's still bitcoin over all other apps if i'm going to hold long term.

Yeah almost all successful businessmen would tell you to find ways to make your money work for you. Though of course we can't remove the importance of having your own savings, investing is what will make you go far financially. Simply put, you need to have both.  Making an investment takes time and effort to be successful so you need to have your savings on the side in case things don't go the way you want them to go.

Can't blame them. Price actions most of the time rely on what's happening outside the trading arena. I guess it depends on what kind of trader you are. Some traders are pretty efficient in reading TAs without even trying. Some are good with reacting to current events and forecasts. So i wouldn't really call bullshit on TAs. Works for certain kind of people.

There actually aren't any solutions that are viable in op's post? That's one thing about anonymity and drcentralization. Once you've pressed that send button, the fund goes to the wallet address you've indicated. There's  no way for you to know who that wallet belongs to and even if you freeze you assets, the funds that you've sent out would be irretrievable. It's just about being careful to prevent such mistakes.

There are a lot of projects that aim to simplify daily transactions. Though at this point, most crypto are just seen as store of value. A lot of people don't really want to spend and move their btcs and alts. I also think that bitcoin has the biggest chance of actually increasing in value the way people want it. Alts like eth would barely have significant increase unless bitcoin moves. So my stash right now would mainly be bitcoins.

I agree with. Your interest would also play  big part in it. Some people are simply after the potential to earn big. Which would basically make them look at trading from the wrong perspective as a newbie. Instead of focusing on getting the money, it's best to focus on learning first. That would easily come if you're interested in how crypto and trading works. I find it to be the same as when people choose a collegiate course that they really want, rather than taking something up for the potential salary.

I think not. You're overlooking the fact that the first halvings happened at a time when bitcoin is still off the mainstream charts. Back then, anything can only go up. At this point, everyone has seen the 2018 decline. There the factor of people being wary since they've seen how assets can drop drastically. People will not fall for a simple pump as easily as many did last 2017.

Well, as op's title indicates, it's an opinion. And the negative guys also are just stating their opinions. Though i don't think it's actually unpopular since there are also a lot of people who see bitcoin's movement from a wider perspective. It's probably the newbies that are not sitting well with the drop to 7k, with them not experiencing the drop we had just around a year ago.

Lol. Probably an experienced speculator, yes. But expertise? I don't think so. Speculations don't really have any solid, objective basis. It's based on someone's hunch over the possibilities. If you've been speculating for a long time, you're guesses would probably be more reliable than others but of course, they'll only be by your own standards.
