If you want to sell your altcoins and you are confident that it is going nowhere, sell it and buy bitcoin as it's dumped a bit as I'm checking the price. But if you are too confident that your altcoins will recover somehow even if bitcoin is on the trend, then don't sell it but don't waste the chance of buying bitcoin.

There is still the comparison that whether bitcoin goes up, the altcoins market will be pushed together afterward. That comparison is popular from the 2017 ATH.

While everyone is discussing the trade and rumors, what can you even say with this another rumor that just came out?

Rumor: Phoenix Suns looking to make a major change at point guard position

You've got points with what you've said.

But it isn't only about the hype. There's real-money flowing in crypto and the banks can't even ignore it. In terms of investment, the risk is much better taking in crypto. The talks about kicking the financial system were years ago until we start to see the institutions started to adopt it as well and a lot of changes happened and in favor of us.

It's a threat somehow that their customers will be withdrawing their money and having it in crypto as we're also our own bank. But what I see is they will eventually join.

I think I have understood the idea of what you're telling us. So if there's inflation, the coin has to adjust according to how much or what percentage the inflation for that same day or span of time.

I don't think that developers would love to adjust the quantity of that token to defeat inflation, they need a budget, to sum up, the inflation and credit to the existing users or if ever the opposite happens.

What we get is a 1:1 ratio.

That comparison of why many portfolios are bleeding. They focus on altcoins but don't give importance to what bitcoin can do with their portfolios in times like this. Good prices way back then but looking at it today, it's almost unlikely.

Chainlink was the one that had a good performance for this year. But if we're looking to the start of this year, there were a lot of altcoins that are also doing good just like Ethereum.

There's security in having a job and then going with the crypto market buying cryptos you like but always put bitcoin first.

Rant such as this only shows that he wants to have money by doing nothing and just accepting it as if there will be a good samaritan dropping by with a lot of money having pity on him. There's no even willingness with what he says.

I don't buy bad coins and I know what I buy so if I believe in something, I knew that there's in store for it. Thanks for the tip about cutting losses, I do that if necessary but most of the time I don't.

Just like when Ethereum was on the plunge, I did buy it at the cheapest price. I don't just buy random coins in the market because I know that trend is a factor that will quickly change the setting and fate of a project.

I only see a rant with that post of OP. You are asking how the money will come into your bitcoin wallet? this is a general question that how you shall earn money in this world, the bitcoin realm, and also in the real world.

There's no other way to get money if you don't have a job. If you are jobless, find one and get to earn your salary. That's simply how it is, no need to rant but you need to start with yourself and avoid ranting as if the world is cruel to you. There are plenty of unfortunate people that are even in a worse situation.

Yes, that's what's happening lately.

Money from the Defi projects is going out and being sold for bitcoin. And those investors are wise because they don't want to be left by the train. We can say that it's not yet over for defi.

Because once these investors are all together and start selling, money probably will come back to defi.

I sell if I'm in profit and there's nothing wrong selling earlier if you're in +%.

And I hold if the coin that I've bought is still bleeding. Yes, there's nothing wrong to sell and hold until you see there's profit. That's the basic strategy that I do if the coin I hold and I believe is still bleeding and I'm in the lose, no problem of holding it.

I only lose if I sell with loss.

Not bad to hire a fund manager but it's just going to be an additional expense. What's better for them is to gain financial education. Enrolling and spending on it which can be categorized as an investment for their money handling matters.

Some could be vocal and open telling it to the public especially if they need exposure and to attract customers. That's publicity for them if there will be interviews like if they have invested in a business.

Every trader has their own strategy. It's just another resource for them to rely on if they think it's going to help them be productive and do better with their trades. Somehow it's helpful if you're looking at the feelings of everyone in general.

Even the other markets have this type of index. Likewise, I also look at it but it's up to you if you will use it as a reference or not. It is a reference that you may use anytime at your will and also not if you don't like what it shows.

"It is not for the weak."

Those words are true. Newbies who come to seek the opinion of other cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors and only longing to hear what they want to hear such as easy profit and quick money.

But if they still don't understand that the crypto investments are not for the weak heart, they can't cultivate and stay in this market for long. Swings, plunge, corrections, pumps, dumps, or any term that we use. It's not for the weak-hearted investors.

Learning is part of investing and if a "weak" hearted investor starts to understand the whole thing, he'll eventually become strong in the process.

I don't think that this is a bubble.

If this is a bubble then sure it's about to pop soon. But what we see is a natural growth of bitcoin, looking at where it came from and how much the price by that time. We can conclude that this is an actual growth which is expected.

Alt season for this year? we don't know when it will start. The important thing for us to see is that bitcoin is pumping again and which is likely to start the trend for alts soon but without any idea when.

It's not an actual thought of the market but it's helpful if you want to know what does the community thinks at the current time.

If the majority starts to show greediness, you can have a contingency plan for your trades. Because when everybody starts to be greedy, that will create fear but on the other hand, bitcoin breached $16k despite what the index showed.

I don't use that index but I can say that it's actually saying the real thing that most of the people are greedy because of what we're seeing. Just like you, that's also my observation.

It's an helpful index if you're too conservative with your trades. But as a long time holder, this doesn't affect my decision making.

The combination of all altcoins and its market cap is huge. But taking into example that bitcoin's gone and all of them have remained as the market.

There will be a division for most investors and market cap for each of those altcoins will be going out. We will never know what's going to be seen for the next years. Too much of altcoins we have and investors are becoming good as they invest and might choose the best of them all including bitcoin and the few good altcoins.

IMHO
Bitcoin = cryptocurrency market

Bitcoin and altcoins = cryptocurrency market

Altcoins = cannot stand alone as cryptocurrency market

The comprehension about bitcoin's death is still unknown. As long as it's standing and living, it's not going to die. It's just getting started and usage of it is expanding and the adoption is increasing. It's hard to consider this time that it will be dead soon.

If there are still people telling that, they don't own it.
