Instead of looking at the individuals investment timeframes, you should be rather interested in the investment itself. As I see it, once you invest into something, it means you have forfeited your money and no longer should be eyeing the candle chart on a daily basis.

Cashing out is reserved for only when you have profits.

Everything else is just gambling.

The predatory advertising strategies like that only work because nobody is currently calling them out on it. We should have an accusation subforum for predators just like we have a subforum for scammers (aka scam accusations).

Once people start calling them out on their behaivor, we will see a huge change. But until then, we are stuck trying to get to the naive youngsters before they do.

I think the newest developments in crypto (DAOs like Defi) are going to make it hard for the governments to regulate anything. And I think that is beautiful. No matter how
hard the government is trying to control us, we and our freedoms will always be out of reach.

I really hope it will stay that way.

Top 100? I would say more like no more than top 10. Most coins after top 10 are not even worth considering and are mostly trash. I also would not go for anything with low volume. But you can check out coinmarketcap for more detailled information on that.

Either way it will be a gamble. Just less risky for top 10 than coin nr. 99.

Well, I think it is quite obvious, that if a website is going to not follow the law and find shady ways to do business, then its obvious they will be doing more things which are not trustworthy.

KYC is a bit of a double edged sword. It protects both the website owners and the people putting their money into that website. So if something goes wrong, its easy to prove whos money it was and who took it.

But then again, not everyone likes paying taxes or giving away private data.

Don't put money that you can't afford into something just because you hope to make a quick buck. Thats relying only on luck and in the short run will only worsen your current situation.

You should get a job and when you have spare money on the side, thats the money you use for investments. Everything else is going to put you in debt, at worst in a debt hole you will not easily come out of.

try participating in bounties if you want to earn some coin.

Selling is and always will be for weak hands. How much money do you need to lose before you realise its worth hodling? Bitcoin itself has a deflationary nature even though it have wild price swings coming from the speculative side.

But whatever, I guess some people are just doomed to be poor from a lack of brainpower. But I am sure they will buy back in at the top. Only to sell again at the bottom.
Fine by me, that way, more fiat goes into bitcoin and raises its value for the smartest hodlers.

Oh boy I thought it was 57k cake. But alright I guess 500 bucks is 500 bucks. I still wouldnt buy lottery tickets for a chance at winning because its not really fun to me. What is the point in lotterys anyway? At least with gambling games its fun to play and gives you a satisfaction from winning. If pancakeswap wanted to show people how serious they are why don't they make the prizes a bit higher?

Aus meiner Sicht eines der Wichtigsten : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

Das sind die "Scam Accusations". Falls du in eine bestimmte coin investieren willst, oder eine bestimmte Seite/APP nutzen willst, solltest du zuerst da vorbei schauen... Da werden alle Betrüger/Pfutschversuche und Betrugsseiten von Bitcointalk Mitglieder aufgedeckt!

Ich schaue eigentlich fast täglich vorbei.

It amazes me how people can't see a literal pump and dump coin when they look at the chart. Shiba is basically a worse Dogecoin, which in itself is a pump and dump, from my subjective view.

Vitalik dumped the Shiba Inu that nobody thought he would dump. That just shows that even the founder of Ethereum has absolutely no respect for pump and dump coins like Shiba.

I would stay away and trade coins that have actual use and more thought behind it.

I don't know. The marketing tactic or allure of physical casinos can't really be compared to online casinos. With physical casinos, you are using more of your senses. Its not just typing/clicking on your keyboard but so in some physical casinos you can see and touch your winnings.

It makes a big difference, psychologically. Its like that psychological thing where you spend more money online than you would if you had the physical cash in your hands. It just feels less real therefore, worth less.

Moment mal, wenn man ein Coin durch ein anderes Coin swappt, das ist doch eine Veräußerung. Also steuerbar und in den meisten Fällen ensteht auch ein bestimmter Gewinn/Verlust.

Außer du meinst dass Cointracking dies nicht als trade wahrnimmt? Das wäre zwar ein kleiner Aussetzer aber falls das Finanzamt dahinterkommt ist das dann doch Steuerhinterziehung?

Its ok. You can push some nocoiners off the glass bridge to let off some steam.

Squid Game? Fun, but I left because they refused to pay the winnings in Bitcoin. Pff....

I would suggest going on coinmarketcap and only checking out the top 10 (by market cap and trading volume). Don't put all your money into the same basket, though. An amazing looking altcoin may drop to nothing from one day to another. Look carefully at the community, what is going wrong, what they are doing right and historical data, so you can rule out pump and dump coins without any real use/need like doge.

Also meiner Meinung nach sind die meisten Exchanges unbrauchbar und ich würde mich auch nicht innerhalb 100 meter rantrauen. Aus meiner Expertise als Berater für Projekte/Unternehmen machen viele Exchanges zwielichtige Dinge. Zum Beispiel Market Making Strategien mit Bots, die einfach nur miteinander hin- und her traden, um es so aussehen zu lassen, als ob ihr Exchange ein großes Volumen hätte (Um listings zu verkaufen, die niemanden was nützen, da eh kein echtes Handelsvolumen). Andere lassen dich nicht auszahlen oder haben versteckte Gebühren.

Das einzige Unterforum dass wir brauchen und bereits haben ist das Scam Accusation Subforum.

You realise the avatar you have on right now at this moment, you are advertising for a known scammer? Yet you still choose to advertise for them. I wonder if you even believe your own writing on this forums....

Anyway, I wouldn't take advice on who to trust from people who willingly choose to support known scammers and liars. Although I do agree that anyone who wants to check out a project or website should do so in the scam accusation thread as well as at least a google search...

That is exactly right! It's backed by physical things like mining equipment, electricity, fiat money, maintenance, and much more! I just don't understand when people claim that there is nothing backing Bitcoin.

Don't people understand the value of things, even if they aren't things you can touch with your own hands and see with your own eyes?

Once you put a value into something, like Bitcoin, the Bitcoin itselfs gains value...

The next step of regulation as I see it, is whitelisting. Soon anyone who has a "dirty bitcoin", which isn't direcly tied to the kyc of an entity, might find themselves stuck, unable to sell it or trade with it.
However how exactly they can pull that off, remains to be seen. I kind of doubt that regulators will have that kind of control over decentralised apps and finance. At most they can only regulate the custodians and intermediarys.

This would maybe benefit poor countries or countries that refuse to bow down to the US. Perhaps your coins could still prove to be useable in their own cryptospaces.
