I still don´t put my lifesavings in crypto. For now my life savings are still going to real estate. Im about 60% BTC and 30% XMR give or take. But Im going to increase the XMR stack while BTC will loose importance to maybe 50% until the end of the year. ThE 10% are mostly small coins and TAAS.

By cryptos you mean?? BTC is regulated. In a decentralized way. You have a fixed maximum amount so the suply is regulated, you have an increasing mining difficulty so "printing" is regulated, you have transactions confirmations so that is regulated as well. And guess what it´s not private nor fungible so ownership is regulated as well. So BTC doesnt lack regulations, its just regulated in a different way.

bipbipbip? are those tinnitus? just buy a pillow with speakers, put on some nature sounds and dump the shit coins that come out of forks for alts you like or BTC it self. That way you will feel very calm, relaxed and wealthy:)

I really like TAAS but i don´t see it going 3x soon. The volume is very low as people are holding. and for the coin to pump it has to show some volume on the exchange for people to get excited...and TAAS holders aren´t selling. In fact this Quarter TAAS won´t pay dividends on exchanges so it will be an even greater exodus of coins. I took mine out and i don´t get them back as i don´t want to risk speculating on it. Many people are feeling the same.

Of course you can argue that with so little coins available would be very easy for the price to jump. Lets see

What kind of coin? one that wants to be a currency? one that wants to be a means of payment inside a platform? one that means to be a profit sharing fund? Alt coins nowadays are so different as BTC and ETH . and people still talk about one being a competitor of the other when we are talking about different things. so in alts, the features one might feel important  depend on the purpose of the coin.

In this case you have to hold patiently to your choices and avoid panic selling.
Some coins are boring for a daytrader but give quite a good return for holders. Take Monero as an example. It stagnates at some prce levels but eventually finds it way. I believe i started looking at it and it was 30 $ and now its 90. Its 3 times the value, most daytraders will trash talk monero. but for me it´s been a good bet.

Holding some of the best established cryptos is the first step. This is a growing market and beat in day trading is not easy. Even if you profit its not easy to profit more than just holding the big ones, being BTC the biggest. That said you can still play around a littl. However i would not put more than 10% in day trade and if im bag holding, just assume the loss if you want to keep playing, or wait. panic selling is never a good option.

When you move from this first step and actually trade you should first learn how the platforms work, then which coins are around and what they are proposing to deliver. Is always best to risk trading coins you won´t mind holding if the trade doesn´st go your way. For instance i stil believe we can see a DGB spike and i have a small stash bought over 500 sats. As i like the coin, i´ll just hold on o it and see if it recovers because i believe it will.

then you might want to learn a bit about tech analysis. even if you do not do it yourself it is usefull to understand what people are tweeting about bollinger bands , fib levels or RSI.

When this is achieved maybe a year or two have passed and you might post again with new questions:)

The economies as we now it rely on several stuff, one of them being the cotrol of their monetary policy. Usually this is made made national central banks in most countries, federal banks as in the US and multinational central bank as in the EURO zone. For a counstry to adopt BTC we would have to see some major cange in our economic principals our a country having a currency so week that it would see some kind of advantage in BTC.

I´ve been reading lot´s of FUD on tokencard. I decided to hold it and wait. and i´m still doing it. There are lot´s of teets comparing the various projects that tend to place token as the least atractive. So it´s nice that someone points out it´s positives. Where do you see the resistence if such a pump occurs?

Usually it´s the other way around. The way to guarantee you get the fork coins is by controlling the private keys in your own wallet. However some exchanges make early announcements about these forks. For instance bitfinex already took position about the Segwit2 fork. Not sure what the position is from the exchanges about BTC gold.

Most of the volume doesn´t come from project quality. It comes from hype and marketing. More over people sometimes does´t see what the project can deliver. I can give you an example, not of dump but of low volume. TAAS is a profit sharing trading portfolio that did a first quarterly share a and is on the way to the second. so people hold it. because they delivering what is promissed. you can´t expect high trade volume if people hold.  Sia for instance, is promissing a good project that is taking time to get acceptance. and competition is coming slowly. The availability is huge, so it is hard to grow in value...

For short term play i try not to have more than 10% of my crypto portfolio. I´m very conservative so i see all crypto has speculative and risky investment. if you put on top of this the fact that is extremely difficult to apply tech analysis on most alts i rarely risk more than 10% on daily short term trades. has the amount grows over time it can become even less percentage wise

The drop is global. One of the reasons is people stashing up BTC for the hardfork. Everybody is getting used to this free money. It´s happening to frequently and #free# money dosnt generaly end well. hope good projects recover after the fork.

There are several rules of thumb that are widely said, but unfortunately we don´t always follow. One of them is we should reinvest part of the earning. It´s also a mistake to reinvest 100%. Another point to be taken is that the market is hard to beat. So we are daytrading like hell, loosing sleep hours, and when the maths is done, we may have been winning, but not as much as we would for just holding. Because in these markets BTC is skyrockting so sometimes is very difficult to overcame that  growth and beat it.

People scam out of need indeed. But LOTS of people are scamming just because they are desonest. And ireally don´t believe you can´t avoid disonesty. Sometimes it´s only an option. Lots of scammers around are doing not for basic needs, but to get rich or to get superfulous stuff. thats just being a criminal.

If they go to another good home on the 50 dollar level. that would be even sweeter. And then i wake up to my 50 dollar 100 XMR retirement plan. Sweet dreams

As for the above post XMR at 91 seems something now. will feel like a sweet deal in the future. Hold.

For me this is one of the most troublesome stuff about eth. there surely are good projects there, but the amount of garbadge is so widespread...
For useless tokens, one of the best example is ripple itself. It´s valued on the hype of banks using the technology, but ripple itself its not needed for that use...

Keep up the good work . I´m holding .

Thanx

Don´t you think the privacy and fungibility issues around BTC with the exposure os some darknet markets will turn people away from BTC? or the fact that it leaves those markets will not taint BTC as money laundry currency or criminal activity currency and will bring people to BTC is a wider scale?

This is very truth. But has wide acceptance currency BTC has several flaws. It is not fungible, the transactions aren´t fast, they are starting to be costly. so i see people using it to store value and to speculate on exchanges but not to buy everyday goods.
