Breh wtf are you talking about, you assumed I jumped in on BTC at 20k when I got in at less than half of that. Alts were dirt cheap too, but once BTC tanked most of them dropped below their initial values and like you stated some of them are obsolete now. I still have XLM among other alts so I am still eating because again I got in on them at lower prices in 17-18, but that doesn't change the fact that I would have more profit today if I just sat everything in BTC. People are investing in alts now that likely won't exist in another year or 2. It's going to be a hard lesson.

My bad when u said early 18 I thought that’s when you got in, that’s when it was close to 20k.

If you you got in at less than 10k that’s what’s up

CAKE went over $30. Turned $2.36 into 12k profit :wow:


Where is BTC now? And when BTC went to 4k, what do you think happened to all of the alts?

What you mean all of the alts? Bottom line you bought the wrong ones if you didn't catch the bounce back. Everyone had something that didn't hit but if you stay in the market other opportunities arise. Gotta learn to spot the blue chips and not chase random coins. That's the way the game goes. Do better next time.

Man reading comprehension is hard for a lot of you. No alts took off in 2018, did cake even exist then? Everything tanked in 2018 and recently recovered but BTC damn near outpaced them all. And the whole discussion is about being careful about which alts you choose.

It kills me that y'all come in here and want to act like gurus, yes most of us made money but there were still lessons learned, lessons we need to give to people just jumping into crypto because if they aren't careful they will lose their money or be holding bags if a bear market returns. Not sure why that gets some of you in your feelings or makes you come boasting about how much money you made. :mindblown:


I mean you have a poster in here saying he'd rather own single shares instead of a fraction of a share as if 0.25 worth of BTC isn't worth more than 1000 single shares of the majority of alts.

:mjgrin::I am not a financial advisor I'm broke boy status... Yes your investment in btc would increase if btc increases but I don't have $1k to spare so that's where I'm coming from I'm playing the long game putting what I can in these new coins and waiting for the come up...:mjpls:

There are literally thousands of coins other than bitcoin so of course .25 of a bitcoin is going to be worth more than 1000 shares of most of the coins but BTC is not always the best bet, especially at its current price. It's a different run this year and who knows what may happen. BTC hasn't been the biggest gainer and putting money into alts has produced better results especially this past year. Will that remain the same for the future? Who knows but the odds are likely. I took the risk of preferring thousands of an alt, Link, over one BTC last summer and it's paid off for me. There will always be a cheap coin with potential to go on a run. Never know what can happen in this game. I doubt it tanks like in 2018 since things are different now and more players are involved, but we gonna take as much advantaged as we can with these gains if the time comes.

:dahell: Nothing you said really goes against anything I've said throughout this ENTIRE discussion.

Or just pick the ones that are damn near inevitable, ie Btc and Eth?
Back in 2018, nikkas swore Wan, Iota Chain, Aion, Nash etc were it and the future.
But it was btc that's still popping 3 years later.

So the quandary is either get lucky or choose the gold road.

Everyone has to weigh those odds themselves

Who else is eating off of CAKE?!?!?

I’m up to $400 a month staking.


:wow:


I want to liquidate my stocks, IRA, 401k & the rest of my crypto and just eat passively off this shyt.

People just chose the wrong coins , there still some coins from 2018 and earlier than are doing really well like ChainLink.

"I got burned buying alts in 2018. Yall watch out:damn:"

We ain't scared. Bear market made us stronger :yeshrug:

BNB was $48 February 1 it's $500 today
BTC was $33,000 February 1 it's $50,000 today

There's always better performing alts vs BTC after BTC had it's run and even before it. It's on you to find them and make the play. You want to play it safe go ahead.
