those paying attention sold the recent high and are waiting on the next low. I'm going back into ETH when BTC hits around 41K. That makes ETH 3100 a good reentry point.
We are at the low's I was looking for. Time for me to start easing back into ETH until I see enough strength that once again calls for "all in."
You've been "all in" for decades. He's a J̵u̵k̵e̵ ̵b̵o̵x̵ internet investment perfect timing hero. lol
simply feeding you and the other trolls with a trading blow by blow that you asked for. And yes, normally I'm either all in or all out with cryptos. LOL.

I believe that we will see a return to sanity in valuations. Stock market and bitponzi are just plain overvalued. If you believe logically. Eventually logic returns and brings sanity.
Gold is undervalued. Whether it moves or not is anybody's guess. If you believe gold is 'cheap', then ms65 Saints are really cheap.
Looks like recent little crypto bounce may not be holding. If BTC and ETH breech recent support, how low will they go? ADA is one of the few bucking the trend.

We've seen bitcoin go lower over the years only to respond with higher highs. Different this time? I think not.

The stable coins I transferred into is just waiting for a bottom. My staking is earning $100/day and my mining is near $50/day. Setting up an AI bot on Kucoin for some trading action there when the bulls run. When the next cycle peaks and if it's close to the last in terms of gains, I'll be entering the seven-figure zone. BEST PONZI EVER!!
When I realized I'd missed a great opportunity for the second time due to just a plain lack of understanding of what a transparent pier-to-pier zero middle man transaction really meant, my quest to resume mining began again. When I first started mining eight-plus years ago I was earning 0.1 btc/day. (I did that for a year) I did it for the sole reason to increase my power bill thus allowing me a larger on-grid solar system. Btc went up and I sold, bought my system, then btc crashed and my weak hands cashed out believing the FUD. A year or two later btc hits 20k and I remember I've got 0.03 btc on some hard drive out in the garage. Finding that lost btc was the seed money for my current situation.
I really learned a lot from working with a stock trading simulator. If you want a little chuckle go to the Investopedia simulator long-term play and look up standings for aba66tbird. I started over ten years ago with 100k in play money. Lost almost 90% the first year because I had a very utopianistic view of how money should work. Then I learned how it does work and how to research. I haven't made a trade there in a year or two because I'm into btc, but the number makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

I would challenge anyone who thinks they can market time bitcoin to post their transactions on this thread.
I'm doing well buying low and selling high. It's not a matter of timing - it's a matter of taking nice profits off the table and waiting for the next volatile drop to get back in. As long as cryptos continue their long term upward trend, this will payoff. Money can be made trading the bumps in the road.
For a while I was posting my moves but it's not worth the doubt, sarcasm and criticism from a limited number of members. From now on specifics on my trades will remain my business.
My only advice to those who want to trade is this:
Cryptos are volatile (provide great speculative opportunity) and trade 24/7.
Cryptos are a purely speculative trade. There is no underlying value, only what people will pay. As long as the buyers outnumber the sellers more often than not there is money to be made. This can and will change at some point. Investments have to be closely monitored. Money that is made easy can be easily lost.
I prefer to limit my trading to a crypto that has a strong market cap and has proven it always bounces back. ETH is my preference. BTC works but I see ETH making better long term gains. But always be aware that at some point they will not bounce back.
Don't concern yourself with timing highs and lows Because of their volatility there are multiple opportunities to trade either side. Just pick one that gives you nice profits or gives you an opportunity to get back in at a much lower price.
Use the charts to see the trend and to see if a reversal is panning out. Trade the reversals when they show you momentum.
There are many trading platforms, I use Robinhood, Kraken and Paypal. My order of preference is PP first, then RH, then Kraken
Keep good records. For now you are own your own until the exchanges are required to send you tax forms - and they will be. For recording keeping ease keep your trades simple. No problem building a position with multiple buys but sell them all at once.

Sees $220K Bitcoin this year, dumping his gold and silver.
Hmm...
That might be the strongest contrarian indicator in quite some time ?
That didn't take long ...
The year is quite, quite young. As with many asset classes, speculators are moving to cash waiting to see if the FED will walk the talk. At best the rate of inflation will slow, it will not decline. Buying opportunity dead ahead. A reversal to the slow rise in gold will be the indicator.

Consider the possibility that after Jan. 9th (when I bought below 3100, as I said I would do) ETH climbed to over 3350 (which it did) and I sold the ETH (which I did). Now I'm sitting in cash looking for the next entry. Sorry I didn't inform you of the last sale - you are the very reason I stopped posting specific trades. If you spent as much effort studying and trading cryptos as you do trying to find holes in my success, you would have made a lot of money. Probably nowhere near what I have made but still some decent money.
As I have stated numerous times there is success in cryptos by taking nice profits off the table when they present themselves. Your obsession with trying to prove me a liar is interfering with the time that could be spent studying and profiting with cryptos. Same goes with your obsession concerning my silver trading. Stop trolling and make yourself some money.

Also, keeping an eye on UVXY (leveraged. VIX ETF for those that don't care to look it up), it was $19 on 20 Dec, and is under $13 today, a 33% decline in just 2 weeks. Are you still holding? You would have to be because with this decaying fund at ATL, there has been no opportunity to sell high.
UVXY hit $20.81, so assuming you went all in on the day derryb first mentioned it, you would be up 10% in just over a month. Not a bad return. Had you bought on the day of your post, you would be up 60%... Of course the daily ups and downs will make you experience daily (or hourly) bouts of euphoria and dread...

while I expect UVXY to continue, I believe ETH is about to outperfrom, so I took the UVXY profits off the table for now and put my toes back in the ETH waters with that account. Premature to say the ETH will continue up, but if it does I got an good entry point. When/if ETH provides some profits in that trading account I will move them back to UVXY. This equities decline should will create some good UVXY momentum if the decline sticks.

Nope. But actually, derryb first mentioned owning UVXY (said it was in his "bull pen") on February 21, 2021. Also said he was still holding from when I made the comment about UVXY back in Dec 2021. Now, obviously, derryb no longer owned any of those shares from Feb 2021. But there would not have been any real opportunities to get out without losses, since UVXY is currently worth around 20% of what it was then as volatility was waning as markets steadily went up. Besides, suggesting recent buys of ETH at 3800 and 3100, any gains in the rapidly decaying (leveraged) UVXY are completely negated by the crypto crash. Trades in UVXY are only greatly profitable if you buy within days of the crash, and sell before it is over. That is by definition, purely market timing, something that derryb says he does not engage in.
I expect Mr PhD from Wharton to come on here at any time to troll and give guidance on stacking oats. After all, he's stated he comes on to troll DB and give him a bad time.

Keep in mind that the troll reduced my posting of specific trades a while back. I have been slowly adding UVXY since last year. It is always in my bullpen as I have been expecting (an warning) a major equity meltdown. UVXY is where I want to be when those Wall St. traders start jumping out of windows.
I don't concern myself with UVXY decay; the gains I expect it to make in a market meltdown make them irrelevant to me. I dumped the UXVY mid morning to enter ETH in that trading account as I suspected (and so far today am correct) that ETH was on the move. When I do exit ETH in that account (monitoring it very closely) I will likely get back into UVXY until I see another ETH opportunity.
Normally I hold cash after an ETH exit, awaiting reentry, but with this specific trading account I like to dabble with UVXY when I see a rush from equities. Until a major equity market meltdown I expect ETH (when it is on the move up) to always provide better returns than UVXY.

DB,
I've never traded crypto. Doubt I ever will. Just not in my game plan.
In the last 47 years since I left my undergrad life, I've believed that you can learn something from everyone. When an unaccomplished troll comes here to belittle others and use this platform to ridicule people, it's time that troll shows himself the door.
OK. Then I would like to reiterate, respectfully, to all those that may be reading this thread: the high decay rate in a leveraged fund like UVXY will practically guarantee you lose money based on derryb's strategy of adding shares over the past year as stated. The VIX all time high is 82.69 on 16 March, 2020. If the VIX suddenly went there again within the next week or two, UVXY might get back to the the 80-100 range. In other words, another monumental stock market crash, and you come close to breaking even on your UVXY shares purchased the prior year. Any financial expert will tell you that leveraged funds should only be used for very short periods due to the decay rate. Don't believe me? The chart doesn't lie. Just sayin'.
I concur that UVXY decay rate has a serious affect on long term holding. However, for the past year I have been adding small increments knowing that an equity crash is ahead. When that crash hits, UVXY will explode. Keep in mind that
My point is I hope to be in position before the explosion. I can accept the decay in hopes that the explosion makes them irrelevant. As with ETH these are gambling funds. lol
Explosion? UVXY all time high:

Nope. But actually, derryb first mentioned owning UVXY (said it was in his "bull pen") on February 21, 2021. Also said he was still holding from when I made the comment about UVXY back in Dec 2021. Now, obviously, derryb no longer owned any of those shares from Feb 2021. But there would not have been any real opportunities to get out without losses, since UVXY is currently worth around 20% of what it was then as volatility was waning as markets steadily went up. Besides, suggesting recent buys of ETH at 3800 and 3100, any gains in the rapidly decaying (leveraged) UVXY are completely negated by the crypto crash. Trades in UVXY are only greatly profitable if you buy within days of the crash, and sell before it is over. That is by definition, purely market timing, something that derryb says he does not engage in.
I expect Mr PhD from Wharton to come on here at any time to troll and give guidance on stacking oats. After all, he's stated he comes on to troll DB and give him a bad time.
Keep in mind that the troll reduced my posting of specific trades a while back. I have been slowly adding UVXY since last year. It is always in my bullpen as I have been expecting (an warning) a major equity meltdown. UVXY is where I want to be when those Wall St. traders start jumping out of windows.
I don't concern myself with UVXY decay; the gains I expect it to make in a market meltdown make them irrelevant to me. I dumped the UXVY mid morning to enter ETH in that trading account as I suspected (and so far today am correct) that ETH was on the move. When I do exit ETH in that account (monitoring it very closely) I will likely get back into UVXY until I see another ETH opportunity.
Normally I hold cash after an ETH exit, awaiting reentry, but with this specific trading account I like to dabble with UVXY when I see a rush from equities. Until a major equity market meltdown I expect ETH (when it is on the move up) to always provide better returns than UVXY.

DB,
I've never traded crypto. Doubt I ever will. Just not in my game plan.
In the last 47 years since I left my undergrad life, I've believed that you can learn something from everyone. When an unaccomplished troll comes here to belittle others and use this platform to ridicule people, it's time that troll shows himself the door.
OK. Then I would like to reiterate, respectfully, to all those that may be reading this thread: the high decay rate in a leveraged fund like UVXY will practically guarantee you lose money based on derryb's strategy of adding shares over the past year as stated. The VIX all time high is 82.69 on 16 March, 2020. If the VIX suddenly went there again within the next week or two, UVXY might get back to the the 80-100 range. In other words, another monumental stock market crash, and you come close to breaking even on your UVXY shares purchased the prior year. Any financial expert will tell you that leveraged funds should only be used for very short periods due to the decay rate. Don't believe me? The chart doesn't lie. Just sayin'.
I concur that UVXY decay rate has a serious affect on long term holding. However, for the past year I have been adding small increments knowing that an equity crash is ahead. When that crash hits, UVXY will explode. Keep in mind that
My point is I hope to be in position before the explosion. I can accept the decay in hopes that the explosion makes them irrelevant. As with ETH these are gambling funds. lol
Explosion? UVXY all time high:

Days like today (extreme volatility in many arenas) will continue as long as the Plunge Protection Team counters reverses what the markets dictate. Money to be made on volatility.
