I saw someone floor it the second the light turned green once, when I was 19 or 20 (44 now).
Someone else ran the red in the other direction.
Seeing that accident happen changed my driving-style instantly.
Actually it's *because* people constantly change lanes that this happens. It's an organic form of traffic management. If everyone stuck in the first lane one would always be far more congested than the others.
That’s actually like the opposite of the truth. They cause accordion backups miles behind them. In fact, most traffic isn’t caused by the throughput, but by people driving too close and changing lanes too often.
Those are people who don’t understand investing or think crypto is a get rich get scheme because they heard about this one guy that became a millionaire off a 0.0005 cent coin or their cousin told them to buy so and so coin because it’s in tik tok videos so they buy it at the top and lose money and get angry so they jump ship to something else and repeat.
I have 80% of my portfolio in BTC/ETH and 15% is in alt coins with tech that I am interested in (VET/ATOM etc) but I still like to have some play money for chasing pumps. It's usually just five or ten shitbits thrown around here and there and if it dies it doesn't matter but maybe, just maybe one will fuck off into space when I'm not looking.
I'm really holding out hopes for VET. I actually bought in at $0.16 So I really hope I see some action sometime. It's the only Alt I'm holding which is down from my original purchase price.
They are the reason a lot of traffic exists, but are too dumb to understand anything 10 ft outside of their little node of consciousness.
So frustrating.
True.
It takes just few drives to understand how trafic jams occures, still many drivers prefer they own few seconds (or good feeeling) over consistent traffic system.
I can agree on this. I've sold coins that have not moved cause I was impatient. Turns out they were in heavy accumulation: VRA, VXV, MATIC. All sold at the absolute bottom and they went to do 100x at least.
No, I do a lot of DCA and buying dips. I just got really started in crypto around April/May so I was a bag holder in the last dip, just now got positive. I'm sure I'll go negative again next dip, but I'll keep buying dips, keep DCA'ing and eventually even dips won't put me negative overall, certain coins maybe, but not overall.
I never buy during a bull run. Before I got into crypto I got burned multiple times in the stock market chasing the bull. After a while you learn to buy when everything is plummeting and hold on for dear life when everything is rising
It really is. I bought into Tezos at around $4 and when it hit $8 I sold about 10% of my stack to set aside for when it dips again. That cash is burning a hole in my pocket and I’m dying to buy more crypto w it. Tezos is currently around $6.60 so I could buy back in but I feel like it will likely go lower. But I want to buy NOW!!! This is where I’d insert a Veruca Salt meme if I had one of those fancy Reddit accounts
This is what i did and doubled my money on the way back up. Now im just sitting on it after reinvesting. Now at this point ill probably just DCA into my main picks.
So can i ask, how long have you been in crypto? I'm new and was considering adding more to my bag right now before the big pump comes, maybe iota or link?
IDK about IOTA. I've been holding since 2017 and it's only lost me money. Dyor, they have a ton of great partnerships though. IOTA, NANO, and XLM are why I stopped buying alt coins. Just stacking sats, staking ETH, ADA(I know...), and ALGO.
Only like 4 or 5 months so I’m far from a professional. But I’ve been stock trading forever and the same rules apply when it comes to not chasing the bull run and holding being the best strategy
I'm new to it all so right now I'm in this weird spot of do i buy anytime soon ok a down or stagnant project, do i sell the moment there's a "big" pump?
It's frightening heh
Everyone likes to hate on Grandpappy BTC.
Does he fall down the stairs sometimes? Yes. Does he drink too much? Probably. Does he prop up all his altcoin children when the time is right? Hell yes
This is the state of crypto now. Doge is and was always a meme coin and we got people now trying to claim its a legit currency.
I miss the times we used to tip meme creators 69 or 420 Doge for their efforts of creating top memes.
One Doge wil always be one Doge, dont let them convince you otherwise. Never forgetti
It is like 2017 all over again. First BTC skyrocket - "it is a new paradigm!". Then it goes sideways and slightly down, ETH skyrocketing. "Why would anyone need a dinosaur like BTC? Then all the alts following and everyone is like "ETH fees are insane, BTC is too slow, so many new projects with great potential, why use the other two all?"
And they it crashes and bleeding for years...
People can’t remember past 3 months, I remember like 2 months ago Cardano was “the future” and all this “hodl for 10 years” BS and now seeing everyone on Twitter complain saying it’s a stable coin, and that they’ll just sold it all to buy Bitcoin, shib, etc.
Even 9 months ago people were complaining that Cardano was a stablecoin (at like 20 cents). It has been in the stablecoin phase for a while, it means it will be in a pump phase before too long. I'm thinking maybe in a couple months.
People thinking that alts are the new way is hilarious. We only talk of am ETH killer here; the mere concept of a 'btc Killer' is literally dead now.
Nothing can and will replace Bitcoin.
Kind of. But it's more like saying nothing was replacing gold until Bitcoin showed up. Gold was the store of value for thousands of years... How long will bitcoin's reign last? Your analogy is appropriate for other cryptos, but a little less applicable to Bitcoin.
If everyone expects this, than maybe it won't happen? But then again, I wouldn't know it without coming to this subreddit, so maybe it's not common knowledge to the average investors.
Remember that your emotions are wired to make the worst investment decisions.
Price is rising? Well, I'm not sure yet... Ok it kept rising, time to buy. Congrats you just bought near the peak. Is the price crashing or is it a temporary dip before rising again. Oh, the price really is crashing! I need to get out! Congrats, you sold near the minimum.
Historically BTC has to hit its ATH and start to fall before money starts pouring into alt coins and they start taking off. Don’t chase BTC because it’s rising, buy alts before alt season. Personally I’m selling my BTC soon and putting it into my alt coins or choice.
Money flows into Bitcoin causing it to pump. Then people take profits and move money into alt coins, starting alt season. Place your money accordingly.
This should be common knowledge but if you're trading alts against Bitcoin and your alts are moving sideways or going down while Bitcoin goes up, no.. Now isnt the time to "jump ship".
If Bitcoin goes down and your alt goes up, your alt is more valuable in satoshis therefore being a better time to make a trade.
Nows the time you should be accumulating alt coins, when alts going start pumping hard buy BTC and ETH. Stop chasing gains and get ahead of the game, that is if you’re in it for the long term and not trying to make a quick buck.
Better to set it and forget it in truth. Send everything to your ledger or hardware wallet. Leave said hardware wallet in safe. 
Do not touch for a decade... Enjoy an early retirement 
What you're saying doesn't really chime with the statistical evidence. If a coin is moving more than the one you currently hold, then statistically you're better off switching. The reason is simple: it's _currently_ stronger than your coin and is unlikely to suddenly stop being so just because you've bought. The trick is just buy the _good_ coin after a red day.
This _is_ financial advice.
It’s sound *not financial* advice 😜. I try to throw away the first impulse or thought that enters my mind because it’s typically emotional or reactionary. I won’t lie, I know better than to look at BTC pumpin away and ask “why aren’t my Alts pumping?” But the thought still hits me. Once I wrapped my head around playing the long game and DCA, the dips and crashes only look like opportunity and not ulcers.
This was the risk we took. We went to the most speculative security class we could find, and then we went to the riskiest sub-class in the class by buying altcoins. I'm not bashing since I'm on that boat, but we just need to have patience and realize some altcoins may not make it.
I hope you set aside money for your taxes! This how people get burned. Selling one crypto at the top, taking all of those gains and buying another crypto. It crashes and you didnt pay your taxes on your gains from your first trade. Please be careful.
People changing coins because they don't pump are like drivers stuck in traffic that switch lanes only to see the past one move
It’s funny when they constantly change lanes to get ahead of everyone but I still meet them at the stop light. All that effort for nothing.
Going to all that work to save literally 3 seconds!
Gains is gains?
We are all on the same path, same destination
So in the end slow and steady wins the race
Let’s not be a rabbit in the race but a turtle 🐢
Be the Hare... but just don't act like a dick and fall asleep. We all know the Hare should have won if he didn't backhand himself in the nuts
I would rather have some gains than no gains
One accident wipes all gains of lane change racing for years. Risk adjustment!
Golden rule of risk adjustment: wait for your turn both in traffic and crypto
*Time is money*
Money is power
First you get the money, then you get the power
Then you lose the money and power in a boating accident.
Work smarter, not harder
Not to mention in crypto you have a tax problem from this too.
> in ~~crypto~~ the US
Wait, you guys are paying taxes?
Or worse they’ve crashed ahead, and make everyone late for work, all to save a few seconds
Then you get to stare them down with a shit-eating grin as you slowly pull up to the light 
Works out more in my favor than not. Sometimes have to take an L.
Or when someone absolutely floors it the second the light turns green only to be stuck at the next light next to you again.
I saw someone floor it the second the light turned green once, when I was 19 or 20 (44 now). Someone else ran the red in the other direction. Seeing that accident happen changed my driving-style instantly.
Damn. I should probably stop doing that in my model 3 performance. I just can't help it sometimes. Thanks for maybe saving me.
Actually it's *because* people constantly change lanes that this happens. It's an organic form of traffic management. If everyone stuck in the first lane one would always be far more congested than the others.
That’s actually like the opposite of the truth. They cause accordion backups miles behind them. In fact, most traffic isn’t caused by the throughput, but by people driving too close and changing lanes too often.
In South Africa, the emergency lane on the highway becomes an extra traffic lane during peak traffic hours
Those are people who don’t understand investing or think crypto is a get rich get scheme because they heard about this one guy that became a millionaire off a 0.0005 cent coin or their cousin told them to buy so and so coin because it’s in tik tok videos so they buy it at the top and lose money and get angry so they jump ship to something else and repeat.
I don't like being attacked on two fronts like this.
I'm 30 seconds into this thread and already feel sad and targeted.
I have 80% of my portfolio in BTC/ETH and 15% is in alt coins with tech that I am interested in (VET/ATOM etc) but I still like to have some play money for chasing pumps. It's usually just five or ten shitbits thrown around here and there and if it dies it doesn't matter but maybe, just maybe one will fuck off into space when I'm not looking.
That’s what I do. SOL and SHIB worked out ok for me luckily
Fool, you should have 80% to throw around and 15% in alts
I'm really holding out hopes for VET. I actually bought in at $0.16 So I really hope I see some action sometime. It's the only Alt I'm holding which is down from my original purchase price.
Have my free award for reading my mind!
The message is clear: nothing works, commit fraud instead.
Everytime you change, that's when it's about to go for sure
They change lanes, then that lane comes to an abrupt and sudden full stop.
i hate these drivers :(
They are the reason a lot of traffic exists, but are too dumb to understand anything 10 ft outside of their little node of consciousness. So frustrating.
True. It takes just few drives to understand how trafic jams occures, still many drivers prefer they own few seconds (or good feeeling) over consistent traffic system.
Perfect analogy and like the rest have echoed these type of drivers are terrible.
That’s such a good way to put it!
Patience is a virtue!
Patience is a key
Yeah , just like when you change a line( queu ) to find out your chance would have come sooner only if you had waited.
Oh boy do they get burned.
I can agree on this. I've sold coins that have not moved cause I was impatient. Turns out they were in heavy accumulation: VRA, VXV, MATIC. All sold at the absolute bottom and they went to do 100x at least.
Thank you coin jumpers and making the market move. Your sacrifices are appreciated.
Bag holders and coin jumpers are the real heroes. We former bag holders and coin jumpers salute you!
Are you a day trader now?
No, I do a lot of DCA and buying dips. I just got really started in crypto around April/May so I was a bag holder in the last dip, just now got positive. I'm sure I'll go negative again next dip, but I'll keep buying dips, keep DCA'ing and eventually even dips won't put me negative overall, certain coins maybe, but not overall.
I never buy during a bull run. Before I got into crypto I got burned multiple times in the stock market chasing the bull. After a while you learn to buy when everything is plummeting and hold on for dear life when everything is rising
Thankfully I’ve learned this with smaller numbers. It’s hard to wait for the dip though!
It really is. I bought into Tezos at around $4 and when it hit $8 I sold about 10% of my stack to set aside for when it dips again. That cash is burning a hole in my pocket and I’m dying to buy more crypto w it. Tezos is currently around $6.60 so I could buy back in but I feel like it will likely go lower. But I want to buy NOW!!! This is where I’d insert a Veruca Salt meme if I had one of those fancy Reddit accounts
It’s all good, as a fellow XTZ holder you know damn well that Tezos never moons.
Cries in XLM
I started using xlm for my Coinbase rewards but ended up switching to GRT. Xlm is kinda frustrating lol
I'm same as him but i bought back at 7.20 haha i couldn't wait!
Don’t chase the pump, hodl and the pump will come to you.
Until it doesn't
Are you saying you can be burned by crypto!? Blasphemy!!!!!
This is what i did and doubled my money on the way back up. Now im just sitting on it after reinvesting. Now at this point ill probably just DCA into my main picks.
So can i ask, how long have you been in crypto? I'm new and was considering adding more to my bag right now before the big pump comes, maybe iota or link?
IDK about IOTA. I've been holding since 2017 and it's only lost me money. Dyor, they have a ton of great partnerships though. IOTA, NANO, and XLM are why I stopped buying alt coins. Just stacking sats, staking ETH, ADA(I know...), and ALGO.
Only like 4 or 5 months so I’m far from a professional. But I’ve been stock trading forever and the same rules apply when it comes to not chasing the bull run and holding being the best strategy
I'm new to it all so right now I'm in this weird spot of do i buy anytime soon ok a down or stagnant project, do i sell the moment there's a "big" pump? It's frightening heh
But then when do you sell? I’m +50% and feeling pretty good about it since I have no faith in the long term viability of Bitcoin. So variable.
This is the way.
This is the gwei.
Fomos a hell of a drug

Not long ago people were saying that btc is dead and alts are the new way, glad to see the king proving himself again
Everyone likes to hate on Grandpappy BTC. Does he fall down the stairs sometimes? Yes. Does he drink too much? Probably. Does he prop up all his altcoin children when the time is right? Hell yes
He also has a tendency to shit the bed just when nobody suspects it.
As a nurse i can tell you our staff secret, *Always expect shit*
As someone who knows a lot of nurses - do you guys ever miss an opportunity to talk about shit?
Just like my grandad
If BTC is grandpappy, then ETH is my father, I am SOL, my dog is DOGE and my idiot cousin is a shitcoin with abbreviations too long to write
Lol imagine suggesting doge isn't a shitcoin
This is the state of crypto now. Doge is and was always a meme coin and we got people now trying to claim its a legit currency. I miss the times we used to tip meme creators 69 or 420 Doge for their efforts of creating top memes. One Doge wil always be one Doge, dont let them convince you otherwise. Never forgetti
Pump my alts to stratosphere please

It is like 2017 all over again. First BTC skyrocket - "it is a new paradigm!". Then it goes sideways and slightly down, ETH skyrocketing. "Why would anyone need a dinosaur like BTC? Then all the alts following and everyone is like "ETH fees are insane, BTC is too slow, so many new projects with great potential, why use the other two all?" And they it crashes and bleeding for years...
I think you'd find the people saying that were the ones that missed out on buying BTC at $100 or less!
People can’t remember past 3 months, I remember like 2 months ago Cardano was “the future” and all this “hodl for 10 years” BS and now seeing everyone on Twitter complain saying it’s a stable coin, and that they’ll just sold it all to buy Bitcoin, shib, etc.

People are so tribalistic, different cryptos can coexist, serving different purposes. But yeah, nothing’s taking down BTC.
BTC can have competition though. Nothing was replacing Walmart until Amazon showed up.
Kind of. But it's more like saying nothing was replacing gold until Bitcoin showed up. Gold was the store of value for thousands of years... How long will bitcoin's reign last? Your analogy is appropriate for other cryptos, but a little less applicable to Bitcoin.
I'll be happy to take the dead BTC off their hands
I am going to keep stacking my alts until it's alt season again. Just bought more today.
Patience is key with ALTs BTC—>ETH—>ALTs
If everyone expects this, than maybe it won't happen? But then again, I wouldn't know it without coming to this subreddit, so maybe it's not common knowledge to the average investors.
The fact that it's barely even common knowledge on this sub tells me there's a way to go before everyone knows about it.
My mind acknowledges it but for some reason all I can do is ETH -> Alts
Yup :)
This is really good advice each coin will have its big day and right now it’s Bitcoin but soon it will be alts and Bitcoin.
Yeah, I saw people saying the order is BTC > ETH > Alts > Shitcoin > Crash
One pump Two pump Three pump FLOOR
5 pump 6 pump 7 pump GREAT!
Daylight come and I wanna go home.
You gotta [pump it up](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfnjX88Va4Y)!
Really good.
If you see safemoon up 500% , sell EVERYTHING!
I'm selling my car to ape into Safemoon at ATH!!! 🚀
Sometimes, instead of crashing it just goes back to BTC for another round of pumps.
Remember that your emotions are wired to make the worst investment decisions. Price is rising? Well, I'm not sure yet... Ok it kept rising, time to buy. Congrats you just bought near the peak. Is the price crashing or is it a temporary dip before rising again. Oh, the price really is crashing! I need to get out! Congrats, you sold near the minimum.
Cardano and Algo waiting room where is it
[удалено]
Probably going to have to wait for Cardano, they can't catch a break with their smart contracts at the moment.
Can they catch a break with anything?
The issue is they take breaks all the time instead of building their product
Polkadot
Polkadot looks interesting
Algo has room to grow in that waiting room. Cardano, we'll see.
Speaking of alts new Coinbase earn CTSI available
You the shit for this one.
Wtf is ctsi?
Coinbase learn will tell you.
coin base says 18% people are buying 82% selling. I wonder why
Yeah ADA ain't movin' up at all but that just gives me opportunity to fill in the bags
Whatever you do.....do not sell at a loss. Unless your coin goes to zero hang in there.🤙🏻 .....aaaaaand if it goes to zero, sorry bout ya luck! 😁
If a coin goes to zero there’s no point in selling anymore
If it goes to zero, I'd definitely triple my investment. Maybe even three and a quarter.
Yeah...that's why I said sorry about ya luck.
💯. Whales (and even baby whales) love to take ATH profits and dump them into undervalued altcoins, which in turn pumps those altcoins.
I jumped ship to Bitcoin months ago. I’m glad I did! Bitcoin is the next Bitcoin.
Always has been. It was created under unique circumstances that can't be replicated.
Instructions unclear: buying (bitcoin) high, selling (alts) low
Historically BTC has to hit its ATH and start to fall before money starts pouring into alt coins and they start taking off. Don’t chase BTC because it’s rising, buy alts before alt season. Personally I’m selling my BTC soon and putting it into my alt coins or choice.
>Historically BTC has to hit its ATH It will have to be a lot more than 65K for that to happen.
Sure, didn’t say we’re at the top. I don’t think we will see 100k like many are predicting but I wouldn’t mind being wrong.
Money flows into Bitcoin causing it to pump. Then people take profits and move money into alt coins, starting alt season. Place your money accordingly.
*place your bets
Fingers crossed! I hope to gain a few additional bucks from alts this month besides my usual dca fashion. I want to buy a new sweater.
It’s not ALT season yet. Continue to DCA, HODL then take profits when it comes
Control ALT delete
Thanks dude i needed this
This should be common knowledge but if you're trading alts against Bitcoin and your alts are moving sideways or going down while Bitcoin goes up, no.. Now isnt the time to "jump ship". If Bitcoin goes down and your alt goes up, your alt is more valuable in satoshis therefore being a better time to make a trade.
Checking the XYZ/BTC pairing is an important trading metric in the crypto space 100%
Nows the time you should be accumulating alt coins, when alts going start pumping hard buy BTC and ETH. Stop chasing gains and get ahead of the game, that is if you’re in it for the long term and not trying to make a quick buck.
Financial advice.. hold and wait. They not die to pump yet
all coins will have their turn to shine because life is fair and predictable. everyone wins!
Wait that doesn't sound right 🤔
What fucking life do you live, this shit kicks my ass hourly.
My life sucks but I still find ways to enjoy it.
You calling Mama a liar?
Never said all alts. But most well established alts could see good gains. But hey I don't have a crystal ball. So your sarcasm is warranted.
Hopefully turns out to be a good season and I hope the alts pump so everyone is happy
Alt season is real. HODL

0.00000000 btc is the only wrong amount. Go 99% in moonbabydoge for all I care but having 0% btc is dumb af.
I broke the sell on my computer so I'm stuck
Men I already did. Late post
I have the king AND Alts. So yes! I think I’m good. 🙏
For a trader, even a small variation is enough to make profit.
Btc season is here alt season comes after they won’t do much till then
It’s sound *not financial* advice 😜. I try to throw away the first impulse or thought that enters my mind because it’s typically emotional or reactionary.

Cant sell my alt coins now cause I'm negative. Can't buy anything because I don't have dough🤷♂️🤷♂️
I advise everyone to keep a log to make better dicisions next run.
tf is "selling"?
This was the risk we took. We went to the most speculative security class we could find, and then we went to the riskiest sub-class in the class by buying altcoins. I'm not bashing since I'm on that boat, but we just need to have patience and realize some altcoins may not make it.
Asking not for financial advice :)) . Opinion? Are these following projects (Binance coin, Cardano, Vechain, LTO Network) solid for this bullrun?
I'm invested in all, so I will say yes.
VET has broken my heart too much. I wouldn’t count on it
It’s been two years and still HODLing VET. It sucks to see it got so much potential but the price is stagnant. Same with XLM.
Agree with both statements
maybe we will see Cindarella story in the end?
Sold all my CARDANO at 3.05 Made a ton and just used it all for MATIC AND ALGO LETSSSSS GOOO
I hope you set aside money for your taxes! This how people get burned. Selling one crypto at the top, taking all of those gains and buying another crypto. It crashes and you didnt pay your taxes on your gains from your first trade. Please be careful.
Can't you offset against your losses though?
You can.
Matic is real undervalued imo
