Exactly.
I Can't become a coin maximalist. I'll jump into whichever solid project will give me profits which is why I diversify.
I find that a lot of the time, it's the low cap gems that get me excited. I'm talking like page 3 onwards on Coin Gecko but not too far down
I’m bearish on crypto for numerous reasons. I could see BTC as a form of payment accepted widely maybe 10 years from now. Not anytime soon by the masses. Also it’s very confusing for the average person to use on a daily basis. Hell im no crypto expert but y’all know my AAVE story, and with no one to contact and no way to really get my money back that’s a big big red flag. Too many addresses, no actual support team, too many platforms with limited access of conversion.
Now after I experienced it’s collapse in 2018, whats your guys reasoning on why that won’t happen again? Why did it happen in the first place?
Blockchain tech has far more use cases than just being a form of payment. BTC really is basic compared to a lot of the coins out there.
Being able to have code run on an immutable ledger is a game changer in so many ways.
BTC to me will become a store of value because of its finite supply which is why people refer to it as digital gold. I don't see a future where BTC is being used as a form of payment.
There will be other coins for that.
As for Bear market, I will never look at a bear market as a bad thing again because that is where the real money is made.
BTC was 3K and Eth was what 100 at its lowest I think last year. You could've 16x if you bought Eth a year ago and I don't ever think we will see BTC and ETH that low ever again.
Market Cycles as fap said is why you need a strategy of when to take profits and perhaps a plan that works during either a Bull/Bear market.
If I become a whale then I would have like 30% of my portfolio in stable coins just getting that sweet APY whatever the market looks like.
Then there's things like being a liquidity provider and getting fees off that. Miners have been making money whatever the weather so why shouldn't we also look to get that passive income.
DCA also works as well during bear/bull cycles.
