Remember: any advice that violates any of these simple rules is a scam. Someone somewhere is ALWAYS wanting to sell you something. Dreams of unrealistic yet plausible gains? Go on full alert. Never listen to "investment" advice that sounds too good to be true--or even CLOSE to it. If someone knows something about the market, they're either an insider trader or, more likely, a scammer. If someone KNOWS with their expert brain exactly THE COIN that will moon next, congrats. You just met a scammer. Either the creator of said coin, an early investor, or someone who fell for the coin desperate to get others to buy in so they can sell their losing gamble-of-an-investment.
Thanks for posting, OP. I will make it without getting duped! Buy my favorite coin tho.

Maybe save at least 1 person from dumping money they shouldn't be dumping into a scam or a soon-to-be losing market. Every time I browse this board's catalog, I see 90% scam threads. These are the basics, but most people are impatient. They want to be rich NOW. But that's not how it works. And with crypto, people think this is now plausible if they "just get in with the right timing". By the time memecoins are shilled, their creators and early investors are just looking for people to buy in. It's a legal ponzi scheme almost. So yeah. Maybe I help out at least 1 person from getting scammed or falling for "market good = invest, market bad = sell". Now is a great example of why it's so important to invest during crashes. So many stocks are undervalued right now. Literally buy low.

OK is BTC a shitcoin ?
Juan Peterson
Bitcoin will never go beyond $10k again. It's being used as a tool by hedgefunds and major investment companies to hit gains needed to keep investors in and bring new investors in. Think logically about the usefulness of BTC by the average person. It will never be a viable currency beyond drugs, weapons, porn, etc. BTC is now a tool for major financial firms. You can't argue with billions of dollars.
Levi Brown
No. I say shitcoin as in new-ish coins that arise that get shilled quickly. BTC has been accepted as a crypto that major financial firms use as a tool. Let it rise, sell, wait for it to fall again, then buy in. It's a loop. And with how much money these firms have, not much can stop their process of using this loop.
Fuck, you got me. My shame will be forever remembered on /r/Zig Forums. Please don't tell my parents. Please don't share this screencap after BTC hits $20k. I'll be ruined.
OK OP What is the role of crypto in the human condition ?
Christian Peterson
At this point, there are 2 roles crypto serves: 1) a constant profit over a 1- to 2-year cycle for large financial firms (buy when below ~8k [$4k? hell yeah. buy a fuckload]). Sell when ~$9-10k is hit. 2) An easier way to launder large amounts of cash. I think that answers your question sufficiently, unless you meant something else by "human condition". Look, I'm not against crypto as a way to make money. I'm just saying that you should follow the cycle and not HODL in hopes that major coins moon or that shitcoins rise 100+%. Just be wary and be smart. Shitcoins CAN rise like that, but only because they are scams. Don't put money into scams that you're not willing to lose. Would you rather risk getting rich NOW with the possibility of becoming broke, or would you rather be more guaranteed to get risk 10-15 years from now with very little risk to becoming broke? I assume many people on this board prefer the former, but that just won't happen. The shills on this board and in many other places are the same. By the time you've heard about something, it's already been set up to take your money. Unlike regular ponzi schemes, crypto ponzis are still legal. (in the US, at least)
Jeremiah Barnes
>or would you rather be more guaranteed to get risk rich*
>No crypto will ever moon again like they did a few years back. BANKS DON'T WANT THEM TO. THEREFORE, THEY WON'T. yeah. banks were thrilled about the previous shootouts though, that's why they happened.
We already arbitrage the cycle dips and booms, but you are missing on arbitraging the shitcoin cycles too, BTC is just a shitcoin, an old one
New biz coins that are contracts are scams, we all know that
However, what is not clear yet is, is crypto a fiat fiat hedge ?
Money laddering - check Tax evasion - check Online business enabler - check Avoiding court seizure - check (all of that is independent from price action, meaning you are missing the point of crypto)
So, is crypto a valid fiat alternative ?
Isaiah Rivera
and i was wrong how? illicit activites used with BTC... did I just not say that that was how it is realistically used? crypto is a convenient investment tool for billionaires and their financial firms it's a great way to hide money, sure. i'll admit that. but people on this board aren't looking for that. they're looking to get rich quick. and by using crypto to do so, they lose their money. 999,999/1,000,000 times again and again.
Tyler Bennett
OK so do forex traders and gamblers. What is the crypto role ? That is important.
Dylan Ward
What would you recommend a first time investor with small money start out with instead? I only got into crypto cause I got some free coins and traded it, I’ve got 50/50 BTC and LINK. I’ve looked at index funds for stocks like VTSAX, you think that would be better?
Asher Nguyen
Recently, many industries crashed. Airlines, oil, and cruise lines dropped really hard. We've made a recovery in many industries, but those industries are still undervalued.

William Murphy
You’re just a scared little man, and as long as you keep acting like a scared little man, you’re ngmi, you’ll miss out of opportunity, you won’t take risk, you won’t believe in yourself or your investments. And you’ll say you were being smart by playing it safe when you miss out on the really big moves, you’ll say it was all a ponzi, but smart you, you see right through it, even though you’re still waging in your cage. Such is the fate of cowards
Christopher Flores
Thanks for the tips, I understand I shouldn’t ask people how to invest but learning stuff like this helps a lot. The whole idea is that I wanted to invest and then hold it for awhile and not think about it too much. Investing in crypto has done the opposite for me
Aaron Harris
plebbit's wsb is just like this place but less scammy. fuck plebbit and fuck Zig Forums. if you really want wealth, ignore all the scammers and cryptofags like you. >ngmi nigger playing slow and profitable is how wealth is acquired. congrats if you bought 100 BTC back when it was
Carter Edwards
Absolutely do not listen to OP. Those industries may bounce back somewhat but they’re no good. They’re businesses that are always on the brink of collapse and covid just shone a light on it. Catch a falling knife and you just might carry those companies into bankruptcy
Adam Howard
You probably just got burned being a degen on bitmex and now you can’t fathom how anyone could make money in crypto. Ive earned an annualized 500% roi since 2017 and the heat is just getting turned up now. There’s real money to be made here and fuck you for being a pussy and coming in here trying to cut off everyone else’s balls
Cameron Hernandez
Sure you did, bud. Hey guy who's a new investor, ignore me. I'm following rules that've been lain out and adjusted for over a century. But surely, it's wrong. Definitely listen to this guy with his promise on how crypto isn't a scam. Here's a tip: if you've heard it, it's already been exploited. Do you really think someone will let a stranger in on a great investment out of the goodness of their heart? Of course not. Yet here we are. Think for yourself. Follow the news and form your own opinions and speculations. Everyone has their agenda. Including me, sure, but I only have ~30k in the market so I'm not as influential and shills selling memecoins.
Colton Brooks
Go ahead and explain to me how construction businesses and oil tycoons are about to fall just because i filled my tank.
Christopher Hernandez
>and i was wrong how? you just said that btc is only good for illegal stuff, yet only 1% of btc transaction are related to illicit stuff this is literally george soros level non-sense fud copy-pasta
Jose Smith
keep using BTC for legal reasons :) keep on doing what you do.
Adrian Rogers
Disgustingly retarded thread. I can’t wait to nuke this board when I make it
