Thing is there are a lot of people following those people you mentioned, and because they're followers wanting to be in the same wealth as those people you mentioned, they'll buy whatever it is being hyped by them.
I remember even Bitcoin SV being hyped in here a lot but it faded to obscurity anyway.
Musk's trend surely will be the next to fade out while Bitcoin still continues on its way to 70k to 100k.

His friend took a risk and it didn't pay off. I wished that he didn't kill himself, but I guess the devastation of his life savings being wiped was really a lot of burden to his mental health.
What hits harder is that it is in the middle of the pandemic, and I felt how his friend felt.
I feel sorry for the OP and his friends' family.

From this post, aside from leverage trading, don't risk your money into crypto if you don't have a stable occupation/job.

If you still have the means to recover your funds from Trezor wallet, please do that first.
That's a lot of ETH and to be honest we would happen to have the same mistake anyway like not caring that I invested a little in ETH or even BTC back in the days.

If you really wanted to start from the scratch, you could go to Coinbase and buy BTC or ETH. BTC is kinda retaking back the 40k+, so you might need to buy now before the train goes off.
Otherwise, for cheaper choices, go with ETH.

>50% for Bitcoin as always if you're still thinking of diversifying but since you hodl 100% BTC, I think you need to just stick with it.
Avoid Doge, you're purely being brought by the hypes that Musk does and if it dumps, you're screwed.
I held ETH before but I now started to liquidate them to BTC, kind of opposite of what you're asking in here.

For the first reason you mentioned, it is because many are into long-term. 20% isn't their target probably, they could've sold some but not all out.
For the second reason, it is panic selling as well. Though many are easily manipulated by whales' dump thinking about the crash, but it is just whales that are about to hunt their dumped coins for them to fill their bags again.

Lol. I even read an article that 56% of Australians believed that Elon Musk invented Bitcoin. I found it in Facebook and it seems like it is a pit of FUDs right now after the recent price movement of Bitcoin. I am pretty sure that the rest truly knows what bitcoin is and they're not being controlled by celebrities.

Not sure if this is the one I scrolled through earlier in Facebook, but it is similar.

Well in Reddit, you could downvote and it will reduce the downvoted user's karma.
Reddit's karma system is kind of broken actually since it show random numbers sometimes in my profile.
I wouldn't assimilate merit to karma system of Reddit. It looks more like the Award system more than the Karma system except you don't buy it.

Is this the thread that you're referring to? The dude makes $50k every day from dogecoin scams
You shouldn't have put the link. The first few lines of the thread seemed like you were indeed doing that giveaway in that site.
The link you put in the thread was already dead, but when I looked up in Google there was like a discussion in Reddit 2 days about the same scam that was put into YT with just a different top-level domain.
It was discussed in here.
Beware Eventdoge21 Scam Currently Live on YT (Reddit Link)

Don't let the news get into you, maybe only read if it is in your local area.
You could've bought more when the price was like around 30k yesterday.
For mining advices, please ask that in Mining section.

Let's not give too much attention to this. It is just the guy with a twitter in the end. Everyone changes their Twitter bio at any times.
There's not much to talk about this, OP.
Though after this, there's not post-Musk threads coming up soon like with the words of "crash", "go down", "manipulate".

Remember when the price that time went below 3k? It was the year 2019 to be specific. I gotta admit that I got a tiny shook that time because that's way too low now. It was like going farther from the past prices, but then it surged up all the way up to 10k again. It's just the way of the market as it is.

Yep. It was a great opportunity to buy more. Wished that it stick a little longer around 30k but meh it was bouncing around 35k+.
From that bounce and random surge, it surely felt like whales eating up the panickers' coin or it could be them just inducing fear to some holders to sell their coins so that they can take theirs.

Misinterpretation between trading and hodling I guess.
Short-term goes for trading specifically day trading. Let's see who has the strongest hands to hodl this much. Pretty much a lot of people that were/are here since 2017, not just the forum, but also crypto would be just meh to the current price. It's nothing new or surprisng.

+1 to the Bitcoin Obituaries again, I guess.

Whales are just around the corner hunting for panickers' coin. Take this price already to buy more or just hodl.
You'll never want to panic at these situations.
People back in 2019 including me already felt this kind of dumping.

Is there an option where "When KYC now required in the forum"?  jk lol. I already long time ago that theymos wouldn't do it.

For real, I chose the options "Age, family, life,....." and " Personal safety, privacy and/or taxes....".
It is the same way for me when I take a break from Facebook, and I just read the stuffs here in the forum and chill.
That's why when life gives ya lemons, grab a tequila.

Sources for more research for?

General trading knowledge? You got Youtube that'll explain. I started learning there when I was day trading before but now I quit for personal reasons, not crypto-related reasons.

Researching about specific coin/projects? You got CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap, etc.

You even had your chances to contact TP in [here], but you just accused that his account was for sale or sold after he left a feedback to your account.
No wonder he is ignoring your PMs.

We'll see if he would consider reading your thread here.

What do you mean by this?
I took my profits from my hodlings, but I didn't exit it all out when the price hit 60k+.
It was another ATH and I am glad I took some profits that time. Probably whales are here to hunt coins that are gonna be dumped/sold by these panic sellers for sure so yeah good luck for those who panics.
Been here since the 7k to 3k below price of Bitcoin since 2019 and I am used to these.

Uhmm look at the price now?
As of writing this, it is now below 35k which is a lot of discount already for fellas looking for something to hodl until the launch happens again.
Still not satisfied with the discount? Many are still selling so feel free to take their sold coins soon.
I wonder how many whales were waiting for it actually.

Read first, and don't focus on joining campaign because it seems like you're seeing this forum as an earning platform instead of forum for discussions.
If you can't even bother reading from the thread you made that was quoted to you by Upgrade00, sorry to burst your bubble, but I doubt you'll be even to join campaigns.
