Some people just think it was a game, I don't know why but maybe because trading is like you gamble money for a win and loose end, similar on what we do in gambling. But I don't stress myself to stand that they are wrong and I am right, it was their appreciation if they that they called it, that's fine. It's just we know that trading could really hurt us if we fail and the same feeling when we gamble and lose. What makes difference between these two is the strategy we use where trading needs deep knowledge and focus on the market which is far different from gambling.

It is a need for us to have some trust and market confidence that it all be fine sooner. We are not in a worse situation yet so there is nothing to worried about. keep calm, do other stuff to divert our mind, and not focus on the market.

Though I keep myself positive, sometimes we also have to expect a situation like this as a part of the crypto cycle. We have had this trend before and so it happens again. If we can manage to hold then we have to but if not, don't regret letting it go.

Will BNB can give you some profit but I don't know with Dogecoin. I ask you to find another coin rather than to invest meme coin.

Anyways, I invest in coins that I feel was safe and really have a sustainable market volume like BTC and ETH. I'd never spend more time digging for new projects as I was not really confident with them. Though there are some worth for investment however it is too hard to find them and we might just fall into the wrong project.

I valued Bitcoin as a currency (before) and once I receive my weekly payment in BTC, I usually converted it to our local currency to use to buy for my basic needs and others. But for now, I started to save some for investment as I was seeing that Bitcoin will have a higher value in the future which gives me a chance to double my money if that time has come.  

Make it simple, wait until the bull run will come, and while waiting, your activity is more focus on accumulating cheap bitcoin and altcoins at your choice. If these altcoins have good trading volume, they will likely pump during the bull run, and it's almost automatic as we have already seen that kind of scenario in the past two bull runs.

That's the normal trend, we have to expect major losses of altcoins because bitcoin is struggling, more so if bitcoin will dump below $30k which is likely as it's not pumping but only stayed at the current level. This is not the time to hold altcoins that you think are not strong enough to survive, they can pump during the bull run but they'll suffer real hard during the bear season.

By the way, looks like DOGE is rebounding a bit, looks good but doesn't look stable at all.

Its volatility feature is the thing that merchants had to consider accepting Bitcoin as a mode of payment. If only that its value is stable, the majority will likely use it instead of fiat but as this can never be changed, we could think that Bitcoin won't ever survive or exist without fiat money.
But it was not an issue, I think. Fiat money will still be there even there is a surge of Bitcoin demand because the majority will still be using fiat compared to Bitcoin.

It is very simple to choose which one is profitable and sustainable coin the market. They are a lot of them, actually. Only we need to keep them rather than looking for other potential coins which we are not sure about. For we are about surrounded by scams and fake projects, the more careful we are going to choose of what project we invested as this can be final and no way we can get our money back once we fall into scam projects.

Most of us here are betting on Pacquiao to win, that's for sure as most fans are Filipino fans. I only notice a few here that think Spence will win although in sportsbook he is the favorite, so this thread is a bit bias, lol.. Anyway, as long as we will see a great fight, that would be so nice, whoever wins as long as it's an entertaining fight and both will make a good payday.

So you think he has not benefited from that pump? I guess the intention was really to make money because if he has a genuine intention which would want to help the market grow, he should have not shill a meme coin that has no fundamentals.

I saw the 4th quarter and it was really a close game, I didn't expect Magnolia will cover the spread, but that's the game, sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you are not, so I would say congratulations to you bisdak40 , you have some blessing on your mistake.

Calvin Abueva had a double-double with 26 points and 10 rebounds in his debut with Magnolia, that's very impressive knowing it was a low-scoring game.

Yes, it was and they have been influenced by others saying that they can make money for trading. Apparently, they find it wrong once they are doing it by themselves. It was really unfortunate how these people become blinded by the word MONEY without knowing how many losses they've got first before making a profit.

I lost $100 for my first try, I really think about quitting and I really did. But I'd realize that quitting could make me not to recover my losses, so I come back. But this time, I'm already backup with knowledge and now fully understand the market.

There's a major dump, if we look at the top 10 worst performers in the last 7 days in CMC, Doge is included with -21%, that's a huge drop and for sure investors will panic, I'm talking about the top 100 coins top 10 worst performers.

Maybe the hype is already over, DOGE is going back to below $0.1 or the price where the hype started.

What would Elon do now that his hype is not effective anymore?

As of now, I don't see the supply and demand principle really works as there's no big demand of bitcoin yet for usage, its demand only grows significantly during the bull run, and with that, it's not due to real usage but due to hype where people buy bitcoin to hold or trade. The real supply and demand would work better if there's a increasing demand of bitcoin for online transaction as that's  really the purpose.

I hope this could help OP https://coinmarketcap.com/
All you need to study the market and do some search. Bitcoin remains dominating the market, not ETH. And altcoins remain to follow the movement of Bitcoin, not the one to follow Altcoins.

Don't take that seriously as the OP still confuse about what coin is dominating the market. That is to find ridiculous but we just have to try educating him and help him to get familiar with the market sentiment and ranking.

That was obvious as we all come in crypto looking for Bitcoin, not altcoins to invest. And despite the number of altcoins are growing and the surge of market competition, Bitcoin still remain on top and continue to dominate the market. This can never be changed and that was clear to see that the altcoins are still dependent on Bitcoin. Of what had Bitcoin does for several years, it gives a reason why the community will choose this coin despite the fluctuating price and sometimes long confirmation of the transaction, and also high fees.

The long term investment is easier than the short term, but you are right, monitoring is very important as altcoins are less stable compared to bitcoin, in altcoins, the CEO could go scam which would not happen to bitcoin since its founder is anonymous and bitcoin is there and cannot be tampered, that's why it's a better long term investment than altcoins.

However, based on price trends, altcoins are more profitable in long term hold, so that's a positive them, but it's riskier so always pay attention t the market condition.

He was just too inconsistent, one night he dropped 30 points, the other night he will only make 10 points, that's who he is now, but we hope he will have a big game on the road where it's important for them to win, but anyway, there's always Giannis who will remain consistent in this series, so bucks still have a great chance of winning the series.

If that OP only chooses those reliable coins, he can never lose his money unless if he gets panic and sell them at a cheaper price. But I feel that he is strong to deal with the market drop and I know he was able to wait for the next Bullrun. So therefore to say that OP's strategy will work for him and the others will consider following what he does. 

We certainly understand the risk here but eventually, it can be minimized if we know how to deal with the unpredicted trend and we are able to control our emotions.

Indeed, some people just joined the signal groups because they think that this is the answer to their call to make rich. But unfortunately, they don't notice that these people are milking them from their hard work money. Because the reality is that these signal groups have to do nothing with us, they make their own analysis which we can make it as well.
But I could say that trading is like gambling and the result it is either we gain profit or just lose.
