Errrkkk....honestly I myself
I wouldnt dare to buy anything that already in parabolic. Thats the truth, I would rather buy the bottom. Dont try to make quick gain.
Everyone that keep telling btc can going higher is because they all already have btc that they bought lower. And would love to see the price going higher. Any quarantees? Idk. Could be. It could Starting to going down also For correction and sell off downtrend.

Depends on your time frame..

My one is long term play, wouldn't sell any until above $200k.. So anything below that price is a steal in my opinion.

For me $200k is also quite conservative, actually my realistic target is way higher but people might think I am crazy for stating it here.

Well, you can short BTC right now if you want.


There is literally not enough new BTC to go around, institutional investors have bought it all. PayPal have sold more BTC since they started, than miners have been able to mine. I can't remember when BTC was this scarce. That's why price is going insane, supply and demand. We are now at the whim of human psychology, when enough big boys get weak hands and we get a critical mass of profit taking.

There is a huge supply shock going around now. People expecting large pull backs are unlikely to get them. Institutions don't panic sell like retail.

Also institutions can't easily get into and out of the market. They do their purchases over days and weeks. That means buying pressure is relatively constant which means price will keep going up for the time being.

You can always chase the next pump, but recovering from a bad trade because you got too greedy, especially as a beginner might always lead you to stupid trades. Buy low sell high.

I got into BTC space since 2014 and don't worry I know what I am doing.

I used to mine it and still have been buying every month and believe in BTC long term price.

If you already holding btc from years back, i dont see any problem for holder like this to hold, we hold thru tough times, even with twice dump to 4k.
Problem is the newcomer that gonna enter and buy this parabolic run. Dont just show them hype and just good. Show them bad And risky side also. Let them manage the risk.

You’re more way experienced than me, so sorry for directing than at you. Just a warning for some people especially those who didn’t go through the 2018 Crypto Winter.

Ya correct.

Many friends have been asking me if now is a good time to buy BTC or some *insert random altcoin*. But they think price is too high and will wait for dip first (since around $20k)

New people might get scared and sell if they see some slight dip. We need to make new HODLers and HODL no matter what.

Honestly. If family and friend asking me. I wouldnt recommend them to go in now. If they have spare money and doesnt care about it, then i might consider tell them, to buy some and hold. If not, just scalp and out. And wait till this forum becoming quiet without updates for days. Hahah that the signal. Bottom.

I will tell them to invest only the amount they can afford to lose. If it suddenly goes to $0 tomorrow, are you okay with losing the money? if not, then don't invest.

They make money never thank you
They lose money they'll f you

To long term holders who are in profit right now, are you all super excited lately?

I have been checking prices numerous times per day, and can't seem to sleep well at night and can't focus on any other stuff lately.
I used to check price like only once per day. I can't even watch a movie or Youtube peacefully without touching my phone and check BTC price.

I wonder if it is just me or if you all HODLers feel the same

Yes, I still believe it will go up few x this year.

Price target is around $250,000 by Dec 2021.
Minimum $100,000.

That's why I keep calculating my net worth and can't sleep well at night haha

Bad sign if you cant sleep well icon_question.gif
If you dont have confidence in your strategy/formula yes you will have bad sleep (I had it when I first started). Watch your emotional bank account.

I like to see the prices it makes me excited the up and down so I open another screen on chrome just for btc and eth while doing my things

Set price alert on phone, when you are outside, then you dont need to worry about it so much

I think you need a drink icon_rolleyes.gif

Maybe I am fully invested into BTC. More net worth in BTC than in any other assets/cash.

I don't trade at all so I never set price alert on phone as the price movement doesn't affect my gain/loss since I am a HODLer, but I still keep checking the prices lately.

I don't drink alcohol, but yeah lately I have been spending on some fine dining to celebrate and is planning to upgrade my gaming PC to keep myself distracted.

There is nothing wrong on it, All my assets are tied in ETH as well
To make wealth, concentrate
To preserve wealth, diversify

Price alert is like, "oh bitcoin is rised to X, oh bitcoin is dropped to Y", then I will open app and check the price. But still useless when outside, since cant do TA on mobile

Bitcoin is here to stay, no need to worry so much, even so you a hodler. But I cant stop you thinking of being rich but knows where the limit when in bed laugh.gif

Yeah I agree on this 100%.
"To make wealth, concentrate
To preserve wealth, diversify"

That's why I only invest in crypto (95% BTC, 5% ETH) as I believe in the long term value of it.

The reason why I can't sleep well lately is that, I think of how far I have come from few years ago and it finally paid off. And the fact that with my DCA even at the bottom at 3k in late 2018/early 2019 and now with all these newfound wealth. I didn't tell any of my friends about my holdings, only few friends know I got into crypto but they don't know the exact amount.

I have been thinking what should I do with all these money and I am still quite young. That's why I am excited right now and feel like all these DCA I have been buying is now finally paid off.

But its a shame you cant enjo the wine pairing menu since you dont drink

Meanwhile Im still a small town frog, long road to go

I will definitely start travelling once everything is back to "old" normal.

I am still thinking if I should quit my 9-5 job? or to start my own business or something. Assuming crypto keeps going up

And also this pandemic changes how I view about money.

I feel like even having a lot of money is useless if we can't even travel internationally. Have to worry whether you will be infected with virus or not when we go out.

Part of the reason having a job is the social circle? If you dont like the current job circle, I would quit

Theres a lot local clubs like Royal Selangor Club, last I heard the membership fees is RM30k++?
Or you feel like a little philanthropy, Rotary Club of Kuala Lumpur DiRaja is a good choice. 

Or if you want a little fancier, Singapore's The Tanglin Club is also a good choice brows.gif
Crypto is BBBUUU yo

I don't actually hate my job, but because I actually have quite a lot of free time in office (mostly reading crypto and my own stuff brows.gif ) and the salary is not bad.

And I don't see much career progression in here so I have been thinking about my life choices for my future lately.

Yes, you are right.

Since I am living frugally right now and even if I sell them into fiat I do not have anything I want to buy/spend on yet.

I still believe crypto can go up few multipliers from here so I am HODLing for now

With that mindset, he will never invest the money.

No la just joking 😄 I am just good at investing, not good in business lol

Truthfully, if i were you, i will sell my crypto and buy cheap blue chip stocks like Maybank (not cheap for now), Tenaga and some REIT or etc and live off using dividends. Pay off all debts and live life financially free.

Congratz of being financially free at a young age 😄
*
Thanks for your advice.

I am not bullish on Malaysian companies to be honest. At least US stocks have innovative companies like Tesla, Apple, Amazon which I am more confident in. For REIT I might consider in near future.

Cannot really say financially free yet as I still need to work my 9-5 jobs and cant retire yet. I didn't sell crypto yet and who knows if it goes to zero. I feel like my wealth is tied to how well crypto does so it is quite risky for other people but I am okay with it as I believe in it.
