    Pretty much anyone that trades in shitcoins. It's like playing blackjack against the table instead of the house. It's stupid to compete against algorithms. People love to proclaim their gains but never their losses. My losses have been embarrassing.

    Depends on your definition of **** coins, but in the 4 yr period almost everything has at least doubled. Unless he was doing safemoon left and right or bought lite coin at its peak it’s hard to **** up. Looks like a joke account.


    Also what’s everyone’s take on crypto Roth. Don’t know much about it

    If you want to ride the Bull wave:

    Metaverse Game Tokens (SAND, MANA, TLM, etc)
    NFTs, especially game tie-ins
    Memes

    You don't have to 'understand' it, just believe it.

    Facebook rebranding and going full in on VR and AR is going to push a lot of the first two.

    Just curious (legit question), how do you define some of these coins as "strong ones"?

    I'm just curious as to your key identifiers.

    Venture capital or other strong financial backing, strong and active teams, good roadmap that has several points already reached, good whitepaper, good tokenomics, covered by YouTube channels with a good track record, type of crypto is part of current trend. Bonus if someone in the company has a proven track record.

    Given the bull market and buzz, we will see a lot of growth in SHIB. Some good YouTubers calling for 150x to .01 before it pops. There is also a rumor that Robinhood is going to add it. Take it with a grain of salt but there is still a lot of gas in that tank.

    SOL is a super strong token and it has a conference in a week. https://solana.com/breakpoint These events usually drive a token. SOL is a great long term hodl anyway.

    Trading back and forth can easily leave people in a hole. Then you also have capital gains. So if you are KYC and trading against non KYC, you're at a severe disadvantage.
    Holding for 1 year is preferred, but unless you're BTC or ETH or get lucky on something like Doge, 2x or 3x might be your best.


    Depends on who you ask. To me, a BTC Roth is a great call, even if you don't hold your keys. Just be prepared to liquidate and move your funds if need to be. This goes with any asset. I personally do not think BTC will be the forever place, especially if you're under 40. Just look what is happening to gold.

    Done. Now, what would you do if you had 500 and were an idiot?

    I read it I was meaning more specific if you could. You posted

    and then SHIB/SOL

    Is there one or two you specifically like the most? What are the NFT/Meme ones?

    I don't know shet about any of this, my dad (also doesn't know shet either) is giving the money to blindly throw at it, mostly for fun. He said his friend recommended shib/mana so I was just gonna split it on those 2, just looking for some more random opinions that I can blindly follow.

    On Coinbase, if I had $500, I would go:

    $100 on SHIB
    $100 on MANA
    $100 on DOT
    $200 on SOL

    Just watched a video on SHIB being accepted by Tesla. Probably bullshit but you heard it hear first. Don't sleep on SAITAMA either.
