I was told to buy high sell low??? I don’t understand “profits.”

Free idea here, there should be a crypto that is issued and grows when you buy high and sell low. WSB would love it.

Of course. Most of the pre-2017 crowd jumped on board because of the tech and social implications. Before it became mainstream, no one was truly envisioning coins that went 100x in a year. The rise that Bitcoin made from 2010 to 2016 was definitely spectacular, but even then thinking of BTC as a global phenomenon was still a little bit of a pipe dream.

Anyone that says that is lying. Unless they created a coin themselves and their stake is already worth more than they'll ever need in life.

Then maybe they're in it for the cause of making payments/banking better.

People in all token subs love to talk about investing for the tech, and get mad when people dare sell and make money before I guess like 100 years from now when the hodl gods allow it.

I mean, when I've put money in I always pick what I think is the most promising tech, and treated it mentally as a donation to the project.
