More volatility = more $$$

Not gambling, when you make profit in 85% of the trades, based on technical analysis. If you have the correct psychology and risk management, you shouldn't lose more than 1% per losing trade.

Some say ETH as well, personally I don't like Vitalik Buterin, he might be brilliant, but my gambling money won't go to ETH

I actually agree with you for 99.9% of all crypto tokens. But, outside of bitcoin, there are 2-3 that might be worth an investment for the next bullrun. And they are SOL, RNDR and INJ. They will be riskier than bitcoin, but the returns are greater. Only spend money you can afford to lose. Do your own research etc etc.

Sure, but by the time widespread adoption is here, the profits would be much less. Early adopters get much more gains. Will there be turkeys in the early adopter phase? Yes. Yep, exit liquidity has to come from somewhere Kidding, I'm only dealing with / trading bitcoin myself.

There is some financial innovation being made based on blockchains, which of course would replace some or all services offered by traditional banks, so they are not taking it lying down. Then, there's bitcoin ... Penny stocks for 35k+ a piece? Not sure what you mean by crypto companies creating their own exchanges... Crypto exchanges are trading all/most crypto. In saying that, most altcoins based on the Howey test should be classified as securities, so much more regulation would be needed. Bitcoin is a commodity based on the Howey test, just like gold, oil etc. Whether the political environment will tend to more or less regulation, remains to be seen. For exposure to crypto on the traditional stock exchanges, there is MSTR (Microstrategy) that has around 150k bitcoin, or more volatile and riskier bitcoin miners like RIOT, MARA, HIVE etc. Ps. I hope bitcoin gets one more pullback to 25k before the next bullrun 🤞🏾

How is someone who invested in tech companies in the 2000-2001 dip and are now millionaires different from someone that invests early in the future of money (a revolutionary technology)? Are the former more entitled to becoming rich than the latter ? And I'm solely talking about bitcoin, altcoins are for speculation, just like Vegas, but with some extra knowledge, and less based on luck.

Hahaha ignorance talking. So trading is just luck? I quit my IT job of 25 years 2 months ago and do bitcoin trading full time. To replicate my 9 to 5 wage, I can trade 2 days a month. Then there's the bull run 💎🐂. Have fun being poor.

What would your wife think about that ... Would you still have a wife?

Only person with a claimed 200 IQ i know of is Chris Langan and I find him insufferable, so I'd choose to save anyone over him ☠️ You'd have to ve very disconnected from your humanness to choose any one person instead of your daughter, in the relative world you gave her life and are supposed to be her protector.

In most movies, the protagonists choose 1 relative, sometimes sick, old or otherwise impaired over millions and billions of people. Can't remember the name of the movie, but a French/Swiss scientist, with the possibility to find the weapon to fight some generic alien invasion driven by Boston dynamics robot dogs, escaped from military protection for the chance to 'save' her drug addicted, possibly dead, sister.

Of course, but also more risk, the lower market cap it has. Only invest money you can afford to lose.

For a beginner, only bitcoin. If you get more advanced, you can look into the tech and choose a few. But then, for the really advanced, back to Bitcoin 🙂 Why bitcoin?

Well you can't be a big Bitcoin fan if you don't know what infinity divided by 21mil means 🙂 Point is almost all present day investments be they real estate, gold, stocks etc are made to keep the value of your fiat money. When people discover that they can have the upside of investing without the pain (i.e. maintaining properties, gold IOUs, companies stock going down etc), every investor will come to bitcoin, and there's only 21mil ever with no possibility of increasing the supply, hence 'everything' divided by 21mil.... In reality probably about 14mil since a lot has been lost.

Artem should let Daniel speak more, his persona as a teacher spills over in this discussion

15% of your money? They should just withhold that and give you back 85%...

If it's not a scam, ask for your money back. I'm sure they'll entertain your request.

If they can turn $750 into 24k so easily, why do they need your money? 110% scam.

So the lesson is too cheap at $750, you would only learn it if it's $4125? Wow.

Are you talking to me?

What do you mean, not a lot of money in Bitcoin? For the past almost 2 years, altcoins have been bleeding against bitcoin, so if you put your money in anything but bitcoin, you would have lost more. Are you talking about the 1 or 2 altcoins that may outperform bitcoin? Good luck picking it, out of the 20k+ shitcoins.

Bitcoin There is no second best ?

It feels forced if there is still a remnant of the ego in action holding in for dear life... When the ego is completely dissolved, there's noone to judge it as forced. Other normal feelings when the ego cannot fully surrender: unworthiness, uncleanliness etc...
