Classics from the 60s and earlier, Kubrick, Hitchcock and so on.

Easy movies to re-watch every couple of years.

Cointelegraph, google, etc -- if it's big news, it won't be difficult to find.

Avoid ads masquerading as articles and such.

Yes, the more coins, the better.

A 200 Billion market cap seems perfectly reasonable to me, especially for a freebie coin that nobody has ever heard of. Too low, in my opinion... should be greater than the GDP of most countries.

Besides reading up on it, I suggest newcomes take part in bounties/airdrops (ideally without KYC).

Then use those freebie coins to trade with. Even if you don't make much money, you'll gain experience as
to how all of this works.

I found A quiet place pretty awful. Not the worst horror film out there, but not good either. And nowhere as good as critics make it out to be.

It was flat out brain-dead stupid at spots and its overall concept makes no sense whatsoever.

All alts are a scam except <whatever I am holding>. If that happens to be btc, then yes, all alts are a scam.

I'm being sarcastic there, by the way ... basically it just comes down to folks shilling for whatever they are holding.

Recently saw 'A Quiet Place' and was pretty disappointed with it. So it doesn't qualify as a good horror movie, but a much better film in that same survival/horror genre is "The Girl with all the Gifts". That one is worthwhile.

Beats me how A Quiet Place got so many good reviews, huge plotholes that caused my suspension of disbelief meter to break.

Of course it can fall... it's sort of amusing to read predictions -- btc will hit 100K this year! Or it will lose 90% of its value!

I'm guessing we'll see a small rise until regulators eventually get their act together and announce something concrete. Then we'll see a fall... hopefully not a precipitous collapse... but let's just say prices would unlikely remain very stable. Then when institutional money comes in, we should see a pretty nice rise.

Problem is figuring out when that will all occur. Summer, fall, next year? Who knows...

Usually it's due to whomever saying such wanting to get in on the market.

It's like the trolls here, just on a wider scale.

That's it.

Fastest way to make money, but also quickest way to lose all of your money too. What goes up, eventually comes down.

As for becoming rich, it depends on how much one defines as 'rich' and starting amount. If someone has 1K to invest, it may take a bit of time to become rich.

The reason is because so many entered the crypto market during the nov-dec time period, when btc was at its highs. And they were brand new to this... they had no idea what a bear market looked like. And I'm not even sure I'd call this a prolonged bear market, rather than just a market correction. A real bear market was when btc crashed from over 1K to $200ish... that lasted a while.

Recently when I had some banking to do, one of the bankers told me I'm the only person he met that actually made money from crypto... which I found surprising.

Most he knew got in on btc at 10-12K (and didn't sell at the highs)... one poor fellow got in at 17K+, hands shaking, trying to rush his 50K in to buy btc, convinced btc would hit 1 million/coin. And they were alll new to this, not aware how volatile crypto naturally is. I guess they learned the hard way.

That's pretty much it. If it was so easy to become rich quickly, everyone would be rich.

Becoming rich slowly is how one should approach this. And if by some odd chance a lottery ticket coin skyrockets, sure, one could become rich, but that's not how to look at this... most don't win lotteries.

The reason folks can make money is due to those who think they can become rich super quickly... they hold onto a pump too long, or buy it at the top, thinking a coin will never fall. While those who invested when the coin was dirt cheap is cashing out.

Start slow, play with bounties/airdrops, try to just make some sort of profit, then go from there.

I'm not sure if I see the point to it either. And on top of that, if in the US, you get to pay nice taxes on the GCs you buy ... assuming you can even calculate what the conversion rate was semi-accurately.

So long as an airdrop doesn't require KYC, it's fine to me. But if they want my license/passport and blood type, sorry, too much info for too little reward ... not worth the risk.

In general, hold or try to lower your average buy in price by picking up some cheap coins. It really depends on why a certain market if falling too. If it's the entire market, consider lowering your buy in. If it's a specific coin and due to a pretty bad reason (like the developer ran off, with a final post of 'goodbye suckers!'', it may be time to cash out and get whatever you can, even at a loss.

I like Bittrex myself... been using it for years.

Although I greatly prefer the previous UI over the new 'improved' one.

Motivation to succeed is very subjective, as success varies by person.

I'll mention an obvious uplifting movie, however, 'It's a Wonderful Life'.

All coins besides <whatever I am holding> is a scam. That's basically what this all amounts to.

Sure, there are real scams out there, developers running away with all the ICO money and so on. Otherwise, it's just folks trying to boost whatever they are holding, btc, or whatever coin.

The idea isn't really to get rich fast (or insanely fast, anyway). It's to get rich slowly while others try to get rich fast... simply trade and make money off of those who are too greedy.

Of course determining the correct level of greed is the tricky part.

Nothing concrete... but simply that regulations are on their way eventually.
