Change on how you see this forum first.
From what I can see based on your post, you see this forum as an earning platform rather than a forum where we can all have relaxing discussion/conversation.

This. I guess many of these "people" just tend to based their speculation from the past news or patterns, but surely they should have known before speculating that price of Bitcoin is unstable in the first place anyway.
ikr.

Dang. That was quite something.
Too bad I haven't managed to invest in crypto back in those years. I could've invested a little in Litecoin if I was still like a little newbie back then.
I am not surprised that Bitcoin always topped.

Yes, there were potentials. Though if you would imagine, how many would be willing to find those "potential projects"?
It is like finding diamond covered with a loads of shit. It is a mess and might not be worth finding one in exchange of proper hygiene.

It is his power that affect his followers, not all people. Me? I don't even flinch to whatever he says about Bitcoin whether it'd be positive or negative. He is just a rich guy in the end and I won't do any decision to crypto just because a certain guy in Twitter says something.

His powers are over? As long as people don't do research and rely on these celebrities, I don't think it is over.

There are many traps and listening a lot to speculators in the internet is one of those.
I was thinking of blacklisting some website which I am not even interested to hear what their favored celebrities say about a certain coin. It is annoying.

I would categorize "reputable members" as those who are quite known here for good reason and have established themselves here in the forum very well, and it wouldn't be just those who had higher ranks.
We cannot do anything for them sadly as scams aren't even moderated and we can't do anything to stop it from the root. The tag that DT members is the best thing that could be done.

It is money and those who applied to that campaign do not even care nonetheless if they were even paid by other people's stolen money.

I wonder if reputated CMs would consider blacklisting those people from their future campaigns though, although I think the tag would suffice for that already since many campaign have those rules of "No negative trust".

I can still almost remember ICOs getting widely discussed in here, but I guess it now started to disappear after the year 2017, due to how many scams emerged in the market making the investor nope'd out of it.
Trends are gonna arrive and scammers will follow along as well.

What do you mean by this? 75% or 75$. If the latter, it depends on how much the token is but if the former, then it is quite high to be honest. I smell some pump and dump coins in here because it surely gonna attract a lot of investor to buy it for real.
In the end, it would still depend on the project though.

I never held any alts, but if it is a profit I would sell as much as possible already. It might seem that I am panicking but most alts tend to dump harder when BTC dumps so I would not just leave that coin in my wallet.
I am all into BTC not alts.

We quite have a similar stories only that mine was lesser loss because I was still starting up and I didn't buy that much Bitcoin.
My strategy was day trading back then and if you are asking for my advice, try to change your strategy and see what fits the most. I realize that day trading was not for me because I did not have enough time to look at the charts to do the trades.

Oh and emotion. Try to rid of it if you can.

I do not even know who Tim Draper is, but if you're investing because someone speculated its price to grow at some point of time then you are likely to screw over with your decision.
You are seeing Bitcoin as a profit generator which is not. That is just the icing in the cake and you're missing the whole cake.
You have the freedom to spend your money with Bitcoin without involving any authorities.

It is still getting brought up in my own News Feed in Facebook, so technically it is not just that yet over. Maybe the hype is over but NFT being known is not just yet.
I never bought any NFT, nor I would plan to do so anyway.

Well it is a meme surging out hypes out in the media. What do you expect from these anyway?
It is up for just quick profits nonetheless actually. It isn't for your long-term investment in the end so that is that.
Memes will be memes and it should just stay a meme not something to be technical of.

As what all of the people aware of the scams says in here, don't believe in doublers or anything that would 2x or 3x your sent money overtime.
Watch some scambaiters seeing how they try to crap around these scammers in Youtube. It is quite funny.

Well not everyone is up to the long-term holding anyway and you can't blame people for that. They expect that crypto will get them from rags to riches in no time or like you know, overnight as they say.
This is why many tend to panic when the market is in red. I am not surprised by these anymore since 2019.

Sad that some coins loses its value when it comes to that. What I mean value is by its utility. :/
I mean many coins in the lower ranks just get the hypes most of the time and just popping up out of nowhere in the higher ranks then just fade the next day.

Well sometimes the strategy depends if one have the time to do it. I did day trading back in the days and it isn't just working in my end. I can't sit for a long period of time looking at the charts and doing the rinse and repeat of buy and sell.
Now I stood to just buy BTC and just keep it as that and take the opportunity to buy more when the dips happened. I have not leaned yet in the other strategies you mentioned there, but I doubt that I will undertake that strategy from how my time the whole day is occupied.

Yep, too early though I like the optimism on that.
We're getting a lot of FUDs recently so a nice optimistic from some other Bitcoiners would be great.
First we gotta hit 80k-85k-ish first before we can say truly that it is about to approach that said price.

Indeed.
The least that "anonymity" that people can do in crypto is just termed as pseudonymous, due to even address that can be tracked. Full anonymity is gone when people used custodial wallets, because most of it especially the custodial wallet that I use here requires strict KYC requirements.
