Fair play, you absolutely nailed the top there, fella lol

Tbf, one of my mates did exactly the same thing - came on boasting about his massive gains the exact day of the high.

Perhaps the moral of this tale is that you should never boast too soon to random strangers on the internet (or even to people you have known for years, come to that).

Anyway, had a different mate ripping the first this week about all his crypto losses since then. Could this be the same effect in reverse, I am wondering?

Feel free to refer back to this post next year, should we go on another massive rip from here ;)

Why do you want exposure to such volatile assets though? Do you trade it using correct investment betas, financial models, and hedging strategies, or do you just throw darts at the board blindfolded hoping to hit a bullseye?

i dont trade anything,i buy and hold btc its best performing asset of the last decade.
 
technicals mean nothing in this game,
im risking nothing that im not prepared to lose.
the potential rewards are worth it.
Technicals mean everything in the investment world. To advise people otherwise is irresponsible.
Edit - further to that, buying and holding is still technically trading, as to gain profits I’m assuming that you sell your positions when an acceptable profit is achieved.

the only thing that i am advising is to do your own research,
bitcoin is only 11 years old,the traditional investment world as you put it,is part of the problem!
i am comfortable being my own bank,i dont want a crappy 0.01% isa!

I don’t work in the traditional investment world, I work in derivatives. This is why I’m saying that personal attachment to these incredibly volatile products is incredibly risky, the opening and closing spreads for bitcoin daily are massive, plus a lot of crypto stuff is done on contracts for differences. Even just buying and holding bitcoin is a risky road in regards to the chances of erasing your profits and taking on heavy losses.

to be honest mate the best time to get into it would have been years ago, selling when it boomed. Currently that price is always going to be skyrocketing and crashing on a regular basis due to the lack of proper regulation leading to massive amounts or insider trading and market abuse, like it or not regulation is necessary with instruments used for investment purposes.
 
I bought 1 bitcoin when it was $3500 it's now at $8600 more or less. Sadly I also spent hours and hours trading other crypto coins. I've now managed to end up on $624. Should have just left it alone
 
trading bitcoin (especially day trading)is very risky and is only going to end up badly,
however i use it as a savings account towards me retirement and things are going to plan,
its outperformed all my other traditional investments easily!
