Evolved1 said you guys could handle some opposing views.

Guess not ;)
Opposing views and heavy negative sentiment are useful because they often signal that a bottom is close. I welcome it, and sometimes countertrade it. The recent posting reminds me of this thread in March 2020 when bitcoin was under $4000 US. ;)

Notice that many of those posters disappeared once price stabilised. I suppose they'll be back when we have the next dump.
 
Anything under $1B marketcap, though the smaller the better. It's not something I'm looking to implement just yet, rather a strategy I'd like to have fine tuned before the next bull run.

What's your strategy?
I do presales that usually don't exceed 1k BNB. Depends how it initially goes but if you pick solid projects and manage to get in, then you can easily 10-20x your initial invesment.

It actually cashing out and not being greedy by thinking it's the next Shib that's the hardest part.

There's also a heap of scams in presales, so I generally just stay away from any project that doesn't have a legit business use-case.

Reflection, regrow, meme, etc can all bog off although some meme coins can net you some big gains, if you get out early enough.

If you don't want to run the risk of a presale, but think a project has big potential, just monitor it for a few days/weeks/months. If they're still going strong in the development of the project, even with a sub $1m MC, they can net ridiculous gains in the next bull-run, as long as they keep delivering on promises when the market's down of course.

Anything around the $1b MC, then you're looking for a 5-10x in the next run to spin the profits back into BTC and ETH for long term holding, imo.

It has stabilised a couple of times before during this crash.
Consolidation usually indicates continuation, so I won't be surprised if we have more downside in the next month or so. Shares and property are getting hit too, so I'm not sure why crypto is receiving such a large share of the negative attention.

How many times will the same people predict 'crypto is going to zero' before reconsidering their position?

Anyway, I think these are great prices for dollar cost averaging BTC and ETH buys. Come back to this post in three years.

How many houses are going to 0 overnight? Being stolen by Korean government hackers?

How many houses do x100 in a year?

You pay a premium in risk for the potential of making larger gains. For those who want to play it relatively safe while dipping their feet in, bitcoin and ethereum are highly unlikely to go to zero any time soon.

For those who want a higher level of risk, there's leverage trading and playing with small marketcap altcoins.

For those who think crypto is going to zero, short it to zero. Easy money, no?

Something for everyone. ;)

Who cares about Koreans stealing your house when heaps of people are losing their life savings to collapsing Aussie construction companies?

Many people lose their house overnight. They lose all the money they've put into it. Stolen by a system that effectively rewards greed. That doesn't mean housing isn't a very good long term investment.

Oh come on.

Don't pretend you don't know that I'm talking about the essential insecurity and worthlessness of a digital token compared to the utility and security provided by a house.

I think if you read my posting over the last few months you will know what I'll say ;). My strategy though:

  1. Project team is doxxed and engage with the community daily
  2. Treasury wallets are disclosed
  3. Organic social media presence i.e. aren't paying bots to pad followers/shill the token, are not paying social media influencers
  4. Relying on more than just the token price to build the project i.e. more than one product arm, so their treasury can grow even in bear markets
  5. Have products in a growth area for crypto e.g. GameFi
  6. If staking is available, a mechanism like buybacks/burning in place to help counteract an inevitable increase in supply on the open market
  7. Able to attract large and well respected investment funds for seed rounds
  8. Take ownership of mistakes and learn from them

This is what I don't understand, there are literally mechanisms in place to make money if you think crypto is useless and will trend to zero, instead of telling people in crypto that it is going to zero for the last decade.

Whats your view on el salvador right now? It seems like its on the verge of defaulting its debt. Imf is demanding they stop using bitcoin as legal tender.

Another aspect of the process I'm interested in is finding influencers with a good track record at picking tokens early. Can you think of any?

I'm not informed on the topic to have a strong opinion.

Weren't the imf trying to warn them away from bitcoin before it became legal tender there?
 
The market today tells you nothing about wherther you will make or lose money from this point foward.
Until now crypto has had fairly predictable cycles centered around bitcoin reward halvings. There's good reason to believe crypto will have another bull run after the next halving in 2024, which is expected to conside with better economic conditions.

I see even less reason to think crypto will go to zero than any other time that prediction has been made.

Bitcoin halvings lead to less supply of bitcoin which reduces sell side pressure. Increased bitcoin prices lead to media attention and retail involvement which typically results in altcoin bubbles.

The pattern is predictable and easy to take advantage of once you understand it.

Rafaela rigo has picked a few “gems” early and has been generally consistent with analysis and warning of dips and when they’ll rise…she’s on Twitter, a hotty too

Not much security/utility in a house once the bank repossesses it tbh.

It doesn't disappear out of the economy.

It isn't spirited away by hackers.

It's just silly to cross your arms with a "Nope. They are the same. Some of the same adjectives can be applied to them - adjectives like "lost" or "devalued" - so there's no difference."
 
What crypto games are out there that are good fun to play?
Honestly, very little right now, there was way too much focus on the 'Play to Earn' aspect and not the 'Play and Earn' during the last bull run. However, Ascenders is one that will be released next year that has capacity to be a true AAA crypto game. Definitely some promising games in development that will flush out games that were designed for the earn aspect only and not the enjoyment of playing a game.

Pentoshi is how I and many others early on found Merit Circle, it is the only alt that he has ever invested heavily into outside of ETH (now part of the team so keeps any shilling to a minimum). Altcoin Psycho has a good eye from what I've seen as well.

I'm not saying they're the same thing in reality but to the person who lost everything in crypto vs the person who's now homeless because the bank repossessed or the building company went under, there's no difference.
