Oh and for anyone that commented saying I don't sound a newb to the forum, I am not I hold a hero member status on another profile, but I wanted to be a bit more anonymous when talking about a delicate topic like this  Wink
That is imaginable because your arguments seem to have some weight, but to lend credence to it all and probably spur up couple of frightened forks as well as some snoozing giants in here, attaching some proof, would be more like it!

Regards when to quit trading, I think it's never! No good football coach changes a winning team, so if trading is your ace, why want to quit! As for me, by whatever time I would be ready to retire, one of my offsprings most have become interested and ready to carry on.

At 600k, my focus would narrow down to consolidation and my form of diversification would be to channel some coins into mining of my top holdings - Bitcoin, of course is exempted till a farm is probably in place.

Hi Guys

I've been in the crypto scene for many years now, first time post here over a dilemma I am facing.

So, I am fortunate enough to make 600k from buying and trading Bitcoin and other crypto assets, and I don't know what to do with the money. Personally I think this is the year I will become a millionaire, as I can only see the marketcap of all coins growing. But friends close to me think I am an idiot for not selling yet, and if it were to collapse to zero, I would never forgive myself. But they don't know the market like I do, and I do believe that it is only the beginning. They say I should sell 95% buy a house, a car and live a nice lifestyle. I am frugal, have always lived within my means and never spent any crypto money as of yet, but I am tempted to start spending some of it now. I am 26 years old, rent an apartment and drive a car worth less than most peoples pushbikes.

My portfolio currently looks like this....

43% Raiblocks
40% Oyster Pearl
5% Enigma
4%Dash
1.5% Bitcoin
and tiny holdings in Waves, Lisk, Stratis, Game.....

I think that both XRB and PRL can double easily this year.

This is not based on greed btw, I want to make enough money so I can buy my siblings houses and see them mortgage free.


What would you do if you were me? When do we call it a day and give up trading?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

that is great to hear.you are already rich and very successful here because of the crypto currency. if i were you, you should still continue until you are married.

Make the decision based on what it is best for yourself, if your friends are not crypto traders do not take their opinion, they do not know what they are talking about, in my opinion you should sell only a portion of your stash so you can improve your life and feel better about holding the rest.

You are right, why we should stop if we do see that this thing could really benefit us even more? $600k for me wont really be enough for me to stop. As long i can able to generate income with my skills then theres no stopping as of now and i dont know why arent you grateful on your skills, these have been hoping by most people because they do know this thing would really be good for long term and can really make your rich or changed your entire life since you do know on how to trade up.

is 600k worth a lot where you live?

A serious question, because you can't retire on 600k in the US.

If it is a lot, then retire. At 25.

Once retired, give me daily advice on how to do better, in other words: manage a % of my portfolio  (big name for a small pile)

Earning that amount is not yet time to say that you will call it quits. You still have a lot to do in life and more than likely that amount is not sufficient if you will live a good life with your own family. Unless you want to live a very simple and quiet life in the suburbs.

Right now I would say that it will be good to invest in ETH, like some others has recommended here. It is quite a good investment since ETH has been one of the most developed coin in the cryptocurrency scene and has a lot of plans for this year. I am not sure though how will the community react to when the time comes that it shifts from POW to POS, whether it would raise the price or it would drop everything down due to the fact that we should remember that the Ethereum Foundation practically holds shit tons of ETH in their reserves which will result to them being the biggest miners in case POS is implemented. However that will still take a long time, probably it would take more than a year to happen. Before that time, I think prices could even triple or quadruple due unless Bitcoins upgrades itself.
Ethereum is the good choice of crypto currencies to invest because this coin having high potential and possible to touch the position of bitcoin in the future. other than that the amount of this coin is affordable for many users, not like other crypto currency even bitcoin.

I prefer to go for lower capped coins that hold real potential, Ripple I will never touch because I don't agree with the centralization aspect of the coin, and I think Raiblocks is actually a much better coin than ripple, plus is it truly decentralized. I would rather have a 43% stake in Raiblocks than Ripple for that reason. Like I mentioned, I will diversify my portfolio into a few more top 10 coins, and Ether will be one of them.

If anyone is reading this and is unaware of Raiblocks, Oyster Pearl or Enigma, I suggest you read into them. All very insteresting projects that could have a big future.

I am aware that it is a risky game I am playing, but I feel confident I know what I am doing. I Hodl'd my BTC through thick and thin for 4 years before I was happy with the return and am happy to do the same for the Altcoins I believe in, I agree a little diversification will make my portfolio "safer".

Just to be clear as well, I am 100% believer in blockchain technology and even if I were worth $600,000,000 I would still have large stakes of my money in crypto, as I think it is the future.

Oh and for anyone that commented saying I don't sound a newb to the forum, I am not I hold a hero member status on another profile, but I wanted to be a bit more anonymous when talking about a delicate topic like this  Wink

I agree with the opinion about XRP, right now I believe the price of XRP has been mainly driven by the its hype and nothing really about the project itself. People moved out of bitcoins right now as a normal consequence of its recent incredible price pump and could not have sustained itself at that price level. Another factor is that the problems with its network as well as the fees has driven off a lot of users. Probably bitcoins will pump by the time a fork is again introduced.

Railblocks has been indeed interesting, I've read about it since last year, though I never thought it would grow this much. I was looking at it before at the price of $0.14 and it has grown about $30 a piece. I wish I invested in this too back then.

I live in a super expensive European city, 600k barely buys a flat! (Think stockholm / Oslo / London/ Geneva sort of expensive!)

Will be a while before I retire.....

Yes, really strange and risky portfolio. You are really lucky if you made yours 600k.  At your place i would fix the part (may be 30%) of portfolio in Dollars/Euro (to keep safe) and other part to review, otherwise you can lose everything. You should empower you portfolio.

Why not Monero?
Forget your friends, keep Hodling!

Monero would be the perfect hideout for your coins. No rich list, no pesky authorities... But also, no way to spend it really, so ... nope, not a good idea.

Tongue
You are the same as me, if i have 1000000 $ i would feel so empty because i dont know what to do with it, and i don't want people to look at me as a rich guy.


For me it would be all about financial security, I just started and if I ever make it to 1 Million (or even 600k as they guy wrote), I would probably sell part of it
to cover my mortgage and debts and trade with the rest of it.

This is definitely not the right time  to quit. More People are getting used to the crypto experience. I bet you may not make as much as 600K in the same time frame in the corporate world, unless you have a one-in-a-million idea to sell to the world.

Can just agree, it is just starting off, I think also the next couple of years will be good with crypto.  One of my friends made a lot of money with crypto and his initial investment was under 10k.

He might just cash out on some and keep the rest.

OP must be a teen ager or I assume he is still underestimating the potentials of crypto currencies. Yes, we may leave off all other coins but we can still keep believing into bitcoins for another decade or even for another half century too.

I like to suggest OP to quit his altcoins and can have all of them into bitcoins to hold for years. Just 600k dollars will be nothing in my opinion when considering the upcoming boom in bitcoin price levels. I need to agree some altcoins also will boom still bitcoin will continue its dream running to another extend.

Living from playing trading is not a wise decision. You certainly will never be satisfied with what you have before everything runs out. My advice is to sell some of your assets and start enjoying the results of your hard work during this time. Is not the result worth your effort. If you still want to save the coins then just hold XRB and PRL whether it will be boom or not, it will not affect your other money.

You are no doubt very much lucky that you have this much of earning from bitcoin and that too in such a short period of time. There are still number of people who are not unable to make anything good from bitcoin. I must suggest you not to quit this thing as this can really help you in having far more money in the future as well. You need to continue your investment into bitcoin for having more money.

600Kcrypto - I'm roughly 15 years older than you - 40. The time is going to rush by for you - 26 today - 45 tomorrow.

I make my living as a vulture investor -always looking for what is underpriced and cheap. But also I only buy things which produce flows of cash through time. Cryptocurrency by definition is not an investment - it is a speculation (a bet on the future price of an asset). A key point to remember is that if you overpay a little for an investment you will most likely still make money in the long run because it produces cash every day/quarter/year. Reinvested cash, over and over - will make you insanely rich over the years.


You surely are aware that there are tokens out there that produce dividends such as Bankera, Spectrocoin, Astro, Neo, Waves.... I am surprised of what I am reading.

With that kind of capital, you can invest a lot of money in this market. I feel that to get that money you are a very professional investor and your current job. You need to optimize how much money you have as much as possible. I am really impressed that you are quite young and have a lot of capital in hand.
