Popular Post Neeranam Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 What would you buy right now - BTC or gold? I think that BTC is going to take the gold market, but I could be wrong. BTC just passed 1,000,000 baht! I started buying it when it was 88,000 baht and survived and Hodled a long 3 -year bear market. I remember being ridiculed here by some gold maximalists ???? 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Neeranam Posted January 5, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 I started buying gold in 2001, when it was 6,000 baht and sold about 10 years later for 26,000 baht. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gyps Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Hard to make large profits when one coin is $33,000. But, I had an opportunity at $9,000 a few months ago.

I good friend was reluctant to buy BTC at 12,000 but I pointed out that Microstrategy, Gretscale, and other large companies and billionaires had just bought. He then bought 4 BTC and some ETH and is up over $100,000 in a couple of months. I believe those who say $33k is too much will look back in 1 month and wish they had bought. BTC will be $50k ish by the end of the month, possibly sooner. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hamus Yaigh Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 Global market cap of gold is 9T USD, BTC still only 0.6T so money still to be moved. Gold still out there in the ground to be found, BTC only 21m to be made ever. I'm on the BTC side of the fence, but like ETH more. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gyps Posted January 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 5, 2021 You maybe be correct. Its just insane really! Just don't have the stomach for it at the moment. I am good to go at this point living well in Vietnam now. More zeroes to my name would just be left to my daughter and wouldn't make much difference in quality of life for me. That being said, if it drops again into the teens I will spend some of my savings...lol 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyps Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Yes I like ethereum better. Bought some last month, made some cash and got out. Again, the strategy I guess is to buy and hold. But, at some point taking profits makes sense as well. Edited January 5, 2021 by gyps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand taking profit, but ETH is going to around $7k this year IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart contracts will continue to be developed as both Bitcoin and Ethereum with the new 2.0 roll upwards. Might be some volatile periods but the two will leave the others behind. Sitting pretty myself because of my purchases back in 2016. Sold some off after it hit 30k to buy my daughter a house in the US. Luckily i placed some of the cash in an account to pay the taxes the IRS is sure to hit me with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bitcoin is for keeping your profits but altcoins are for making profits, IMHO. I am big on Polkadot, LINK, and Uniswap. I could withdraw profits now and buy my eldest daughter a nice condo in Bangkok but hate to take profits now when things are just starting. I got my sister to invest in Ethereum last year, and she has made 400% already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine who was voted a top investor warned me it would be a rollercoaster ride. The only time I can't sleep is when there is a bull cycle. I've got 90% of my liquid assets in crypto. 50% in BTC and 50% in altcoins. In 2016, I thought I would be working until I died, and this year I plan to retire, aged 55. I was not heavily invested in BTC(but altcoins - DOT, ETH, UNI, OMG, BNB, LINK,) until I watched this video. BTC has gone up 60% since then, less than 1 month ago.

If people stop believing in paper money, it will collapse, like it has done many times in the past. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
