These traders for sure are just people who are thinking that trading is easy money or like a get-rich-quick scheme.
Strategy comes with work and time. You need to build your own strategy, practice it, and master it.

Capital preservation is the best also here because as long as you have the capital, you still can trade, and you can still apply your strategy.
That's why risk management strategy is important, like what OP explained with risk: reward ratio, that is working.

Exactly! It's pure hype, I even fall for these buzzword marketing with Matrix AI network before. They already failed. They are just here to scam newbies' money.
There are some projects who are only driven by the hype.
That's why these people must be warned or be careful of these new projects, I believe as AI will become trending, there will new projects will pop up and will just scam people.

If the market will start to recover in the year 2023, I am expecting that all metaverse projects will start to make some noise. But for me, smart contract platforms will also stay, just like Polkadot (if based on the list). I'll still choose Ethereum.
Decentraland already proven how this project is quality during the early days of how metaverse or NFT started to become trending before. I believe Decentraland will still here and will become a big player.

I just want to share my experience before.
My own opinion is, it doesn't mean that a particular cryptocurrency is a cheap or really huge drop from its all-time high it is good to buy.

It's already proven by Bitcoin versus other altcoins before, when the market starts to recover, Bitcoin or any other high market cap already recovering but some other altcoins are still not, or they recover but not that huge percentage compare to Bitcoin.

That's why for me, it is better to accumulate Bitcoin during bear market.

Technical analysis is important if you are a trader, so you really need to analyze the technical part of it, like looking at charts and identifying different patterns, volumes, momentum, etc.
For the long-term side, for me yes, seems normal. Everyone wants Bitcoin to have a good price in the future. We are talking short-term here, like the current market condition we have right now.

For me, this sideways price action of Bitcoin will stay even on next year, this is much better, as long as we don't do huge dump or pump in just a short period of time.

Since you already have some experience, why not try what you learned? Like, apply all the learnings you experienced on some testnet or demo trading exchanges?
There are a lot of exchanges that got testnet where you can trade without using real money.

You can try Bitmex Testnet: https://testnet.bitmex.com/
Bybit testnet: https://testnet.bybit.com/

And after you tried, you can still continue to learn on other sources, paid or non paid, much better for me if you want to save money, go try self learning.

Satoshi Nakamoto really created Bitcoin to handle such a thing as this, so for me, no need for any hard forks.
Since satoshi is the smallest unit of Bitcoin, I can say that is already enough. We just familiarize the conversion of 1 satoshi = BTC, like how many decimals.

This is totally different from how Bitcoin works, these KYC things are centralized, you can always use Bitcoin without doing such things as KYC or any centralized related, you can send and receive Bitcoin.
Maybe what you mean is using some centralized services like cryptocurrency exchanges.

I remember before, like every Christmas holiday, there are a lot of people claiming that Bitcoin will dump because people will sell some Bitcoin to buy presents for someone, so a dump is expected, but every time I hear that what happening is the opposite.
So for me, this is becoming a theory now.

Some people like me treat Bitcoin as their emergency funds + investment at the same time.
I remember before when I needed some funds emergency and what I did was I just sold the Bitcoin I accumulated a long time ago, so even how much the price is, there's no matter at all.

Dogecoin will stay just like Ethereum. Dogecoin is the king of meme coins, just like Ethereum when there are a lot of other projects that claim "Ethereum killers" and failed after.
So overall, dogecoin will stay even though there are a lot of other meme coins that are copying or the following dogecoin.

About Elon Musk, before, Elon Musk is still not around that using dogecoin for his drama, dogecoin is already here and already on the top as a meme coin.

OG's top altcoins are much better compared to these new projects that started to pop on the top market cap.
For now, after the recent projects that are alternatives for Ethereum are starting to fall, and guess what, Ethereum is still here. So, for me, Ethereum will stay as it stays since day 1.  Ethereum deserves to be on top 2 highest market cap.

I think this is only based on the person, not all can afford 1 bitcoin to hold over time, and there are also some people that 1 bitcoin is like a cent for them or very cheap for them, so if you will ask this question them, maybe it's just nothing from them.
Overall, if an average people that for them 1 Bitcoin is already huge, then overall it's very scary especially if they are already underwater, they bought like during peak or any price that is above the current price we have now.

People also must absorb the real essence or use of Bitcoin, it's not only for investment, people must learn how to use Bitcoin, like even the basic use of Bitcoin or what's the basic use of it besides investment.
People also who are in Bitcoin just for investment are sometimes people who are greedy, and they are crying too much when Bitcoin is dumping, they are just for money of course and they are not aware that Bitcoin is not easy money.

Expected already. This is already being said before when FTX started to become fishy. Like there will be more losses or it's not a good win for other businesses like centralized exchanges if FTX will go down because it will damage the whole reputation of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin the bigger.
These regulators indeed will use the FTX incident even if we all know it's nothing to do with Bitcoin.

Overall, at the long term, Bitcoin will always be Bitcoin. They can't stop it.

Amazing to lose money also.
Altcoins for me are very risky, especially these new projects that are popping up everywhere. If you are not careful you will lose money.
But if you are a risk taker and you are really well in that field, like doing research and good at identifying quality projects, then it's all good, trust your knowledge.

Overall, be safe, because it's already proven by time, a lot of altcoins already come and go since day 1, after Bitcoin created.

I'm not a hater of Metaverse at all. I saw a lot of people giving negative comments to Metaverse, this project is a big win for the entire technology innovation. I also think that's why these people are talking negatively to Metaverse because they don't understand it or we are still early.
People also must not think always of money, maybe some of them started to think that if you are in the metaverse or use some metaverse project, it's easy money.

Trading is not working like this. If you think trading is easy like this, you are wrong, you may lose your money when you are trading like this and your expectation is like this.
You must be aware that trading is extremely risky,  take note of a lot of factors when you are trading, and a lot of impossible things will happen. That's why there is risk management to help you to preserve your capital, that's why also there is stop loss so it will help to not lose bigger if your plan didn't worked well.

Overall it won't work. It's already proven by recent Bitcoin forks and the goal is almost similar to every forked from Bitcoin or even from any other altcoins.
Some are just pure hype. This is the power of open-source or decentralization, you can just fork it or copy it just every project in cryptocurrency right now, Bitcoin to be specific but it's really different the different one. Bitcoin already proven it.

I believe it's just pure random. Even Satoshi Nakamoto is still here, it's still random. Not unless that transaction came from the suspected Bitcoin wallets that is identified by Satoshi Nakamoto before but up until now, there are still no transactions made on those Bitcoin wallets that connected from Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcoin network is already good now, with or without Satoshi Nakamoto so overall it's all fine for me and these things I really considered as theories only.
