Well fair enough but you would hear the same as soon you mention things like: forex trader, making 25% returns as a private trader etc. Only difference being crypto is new, young people go into that easier than stocks, as barriers are lower.

Thaijack2014 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I was a strong believer in BTC, but now lost the interest in it and have as good as zero BTC... To me it came, I used it, I had my profits and advantages of it. Now the disadvantages overweigh the use of it and I stopped with it. Sad but that's a fact of life. For me no more Bitcoin.

chalawaan Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) I always said it's going to sub 10K And maybe even the low hundreds. If it recovers, and when... Well that will be interesting, because, clearly, it's not a store of value against fiat right now! I'm not saying it may never go to the moon, but when I said it would likely ruin millions of sworn HODLers, on the way there, I was laughed at. Few imagined these lows, and now they're here, new lows are not the impossibility they seemed this time last year! Plenty people are now realising they can't NOT sell or they'll be ruined. What happens after that, who knows? But the frenzy couldn't last. Edited November 10, 2022 by chalawaan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Keeping holdings steady. Not selling or buying. Have already kept a particular 'don't touch' amount since the pre McAfee days just in case any of these crazy predictions come true (in which case a few btc won't make a big difference to my lifestyle). Don't need (or want) a boat or Lambo. Happy flying premium economy with J occasionally thrown in once in awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Classic Ray Posted November 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2022 Crypto, like forex or stock trading, is just legalised gambling. Very popular in Thailand where most gambling eg casinos or sports betting is officially illegal. if gambling is your thing, crypto is as good as anything to spend your money on. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same like some jokers here say they bought at 12 bucks and at any point in time they didn't sell. Yeah right, that's why your final retirement destination is Thailand. In any case it is becoming obvious Bitcoin price was tied to scams and ponzi. Be careful as even the FBI is coming after FTX. This casino is going to be highly regulated. It will become a lot more difficult to use Bitcoin for criminal activity hence the limited upside. Edited November 11, 2022 by Celsius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Crazy Noobie Posted November 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2022 I know everyone has their own method on investing. But what I have been doing, is I have a certain amount of my monthly investment money goes to buying BTC and other crypto coins and keeping it for the long term. Then I have a $10,000 fund I use for Day Trading only. Just in a coupe of days I made a $2,225.32 profit from buying low and selling high off of BTC. I do this with BTC, ETH, ADA and SHIB and last month alone I brought in a little over $17,000. Basically, I make money by Day Trading and then use that profit to buy my long term buys. My long term goal is to build up all of my crypto coin holding for the "Big Crypto Run" that will happen in 2024 when BTC does it's halving. Plus I am 72 years old and I have nothing better to do. Better then going to bingo... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you would not want to put more money into something, just waiting for the next dip. The Bitcoin train is long gone. Better look in the crystal ball, and try to guess what the next one that is going to be virtually inflated by the rich and powerful. That´s what they call decentralized, so all that doesn´t understand will get fooled. Edited November 11, 2022 by Gottfrid 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro54 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Well, impossible to discuss BTC with people who doesn't know how it's built. Reading about it in newspapers doesn't tell you a thing, as most journalists don't understand it either..... Truth is that it's the best performing asset the last years..... People races to buy when they read it's going up, and usually loose because they sell with loss.... Nobody believed in internet either, but 20+ years after, everybody has a phone in their pocket.. Technology always adapts.... When all the Billon$ companies put eggs in their BTC basket, does it make them stupid? Hell, I don't even use my old bank, and haven't for years... Revolut user since their startup (and saved a lot....). Regular banks are expensive, slow, and old tech, can't even make a good app. So, I use a combo, Neo bank & Crypto... Sorry for the rant!

The problem is you still need to convert it to real money to pay for most things in life. When crypto holders evaluate their investment wealth in crypto they always refer to how much USD they are worth. Crypto is just hope to time the price to buy when it is low and hope it goes up, then they are happy. Pity all the people who bought this stuff when the price was above 40000 USD, they are nursing a huge loss and if still holding and waiting.....hoping the price will go back up, whenever that will be. Remember some months ago when it was up at 50 or 60000USD, they were predicting it would continue going up, what happened to that theory and research when the price collapsed. It seems no one knows if it will go up or down and any amount of so called research will never predict that.

Aussieroaming Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Between bitcoin and the SET I am down about 300k USD at the moment, so no I think I will limp along and hope that I might at least get back to parity at some point. Luckily I had a fair amount stashed away in fixed term, which while not earning anything was at least shielded from these losses and we also own our condo in BKK. However, I am still even considering going back to work for another contract to make back the losses again, just in case the losses are permanent. I'm under 60, so shouldn't be sitting idle anyway. Ahhh the dramas of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gave me a good chuckle, thanks Seriously though: If you still don't understand the difference between FTX and BTC, then yes, you should definitely stay away from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
