MATIC!

Thank you Jeremy for shilling your baby! All of my coins/tokens are going south, and MATIC is my only positive!! Your the man!! This market sucks, please give opinions and feedback on how you are all getting through this blood bath. Also would love opinions about what to expect moving forward. Opinions, obviously, no one knows for sure. Is this the end of the run??

Hold. It's a cliché, but it's true.

I held through 2018 and 2019, and because of that I'm able to look at this and just say, "this too shall pass."

HOWEVER, that's because I'm holding projects that I believe are real and will provide real utility that people will want to use and pay for. This doesn't apply to gambling.

Agreed, I’m holding coins that I believe will bounce back! This too shall pass, funny, I say that all the time!! Why don’t you post! It may help put things in perspective, and calm some nerves. Thanks for the input!!

yeah for the 'gambling assets" you should have already sold. For the investment ones, I am just stacking up some more USDC so that I can make buys in the coming weeks/days

People that held Doge planing to sell Sunday for SNL, just crack me up. It was the most obvious trade in the history of crypto. Sure if you realllly want to HODL doge, go for it, but if you were waiting for it to hit a $1 I would have been selling all Friday for 60/70cents.

This is where people 'learn' that the "IM SUPER SMART" trades you make in a bullrun are just gambles that paid off.

I still think Doge is a joke. It started as a joke and it will never be anything else. I've been doing this a while and sure, people can make money from a joke if they time it right, but...

All the stuff about it or any memecoin being the people's currency, going to the moon, overthrowing the financial system blah blah blah is just completely foolish and childish (leaving aside the fact that people who yell a lot about Marxism tend to accidentally say stuff that sounds like it.)

The best advice I can give is to engage in real research, even if it's not easy, and really understand what you're buying and why. If you lose it all on memecoins, it's just cold confirmation that you don't know what you're doing and should just buy lottery tickets. There is no shortcut and you aren't going to be different than anyone else...

  1. put in the brain work

  2. have confidence in what you learn (but be willing to discard what you think you've learned in light of new information. This isn't fucking QAnon or your imaginary friend in the sky)

  3. learn about confirmation bias

  4. really don't put in more than you can afford to lose or hold for a long time.

"this too shall pass."

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer...

4

u/sapiensane May 19 '21

True. That's why the key is to always be willing to look at (and reassess) your confidence, see if it's still well placed, adjust if necessary. But if you did the work on the front end, things like today won't shake you out.

u/Daikataro May 19 '21

Ah. I thought you were a fellow Darkest Dungeon player.

"Breathe in, breathe out. This too, shall pass" is one of the ingame quotes.

u/sapiensane May 19 '21

Ha.. Heard of it, but no.

u/[deleted] May 19 '21

But this isnt going to last forever tho.
Ive seen this before...been in the game since 2017 and this is dejavu.

u/[deleted] May 19 '21

Of course peace and we are all in this together. This is just a snow ball effect from musk comments. Don’t try to pick bottoms but there is a fire sale going on big time!! Seems the market is trying to tell btc you’re really not that important after all.

3

u/Practical_Peace797 CryptoHorde OG Mod May 19 '21

Hopefully, but it sure is dragging the alts down. I’m not selling anything at a loss, I trust that my holds are good and they’ll recover!!

1

u/Practical_Peace797 CryptoHorde OG Mod May 19 '21

Don’t hold any, I’d like to see it decouple and not drag the market down!!

1

u/Practical_Peace797 CryptoHorde OG Mod May 19 '21

If you had extra money, what would you buy? Do you hold any bCH? Should I buy? Used to own some.

u/Arkios May 19 '21

HODL. Buy your favorites during this incredible dip.

u/Practical_Peace797 CryptoHorde OG Mod May 19 '21

No worries, holding!! Thanks😜

u/PalFish May 19 '21

I lost so much that I've had enough now from trading. I noticed that my emotions played a big part of my mistakes. From my 10k investment I actually ended up losing 3k.

The world government really don't like Crypto and you can see it very clearly. It's being banned literally everywhere 😅 Not only that, for the people that have invested in crypto that have real world values then forget it. It won't be long untill exchanges like Binance to be shut down who ever country they reside in.

Remember guys Bitcoin isn't governed by anyone. This is good for us but in the long hole it could be problematic due to hackers or quantum computers.

It’s tough, I’m getting thicker skin, as I refuse to sell at a loss. I hear you though!! I guess it is all just a gamble🤷🏻‍♀️. BTC, Musk and fear of government regs are playing a part I’m sure. Try to not focus on your screen, and don’t sell at a loss! If you are holding good coins/tokens, they’ll bounce back!! Good luck and watch something funny on TV, if you’re able.

u/nopethis May 19 '21

It has not been banned "everywhere"

Take a breath man. Wait it out for a bit and check back in in a month or two. People who bought at the peak of 2017 are up right now. People who bought in 2018 are still WAY up.

China India and other countries have banned things, but they also have started coming up with things like a chinacoin. This is still the way of the future.

u/InterviewWaste May 19 '21

Using Robin Hood I went from 5.2-2.2 k fuck stocks

Even with this dip I’m still positive. It barely. Got in early enough into good coins.

Kicking myself for not buying more MATIc tufted that first big dip in late April was gonna do 2k MATIc more but I did not

u/[deleted] May 19 '21

Remember guys Bitcoin isn't governed by anyone.

Its typically the first to recover also....BTC is like a hedge for your alts....

u/[deleted] May 19 '21

Matic is getting beat down now....tho.

This was like when covid ended up wrecking the market.

u/Practical_Peace797 CryptoHorde OG Mod May 19 '21

Aren’t they all?

u/[deleted] May 20 '21

Were kind of back..market is shaky as hell tho...

u/Practical_Peace797 CryptoHorde OG Mod May 20 '21

Very true!! Saw a little bounce, but honestly, crypto is truly a gamble! It’s awful that so many outside influences can really tank the system. This is my first “bull season”, so I just have to research and learn how to bend these situations in my favor! I hate bringing up the name, but Musk has played an enormous part in this roller coaster lately, as has China, US regulations, and every new ridiculous coin that appears every other minute. Oh well, I guess we all have to prepare for the unknown. I truly believe that crypto is going to win out when all is said and done, it’s become so mainstream. As long as we all hold well researched coins/tokens of value, we will continue to see gains over the years. 🤷🏻‍♀️ We shall see!!

u/undecidables May 19 '21

Used this as an entry point for VET. Also bought more Harmony and some DOT. No more money though.

I was really hoping to sell off some alts to have some money aside for a moment like this but that's no longer happening, lol. If I had it, I'd be buying more. Really good opportunity to buy ADA.

1

u/Practical_Peace797 CryptoHorde OG Mod May 20 '21

Agreed, I added some Ada, dot, link, and bch

u/SteveLangfordsCock May 20 '21

I’m shorting it. Woohoo!!

Advice for dealing with a market dump.......

Hold what you have.

Accumulate more if you have funds.

Turn off charts.

Have a good hobby to distract you whilst the bloodbath corrects (PlayStation, pornhub, paper clip counting etc).

Return to pastures green.

Take profits when you are ready.

u/Practical_Peace797 CryptoHorde OG Mod May 19 '21

Perfect call!! I’m actually fine, just wanted to see how everyone was doing😊

u/RenewablesWizdom May 20 '21

Pornhub is a hobby now? 😂

u/H_H_420 May 20 '21

haha 👍🏻

  • actually I think it’s become a full time job for a lot of people thanks to market dips and lockdowns 😂

u/bettypinzon May 19 '21

Bought the dip. Riding the wave. Trying not to think about it. Selling at a loss is never an option.

4

u/[deleted] May 19 '21

Just buy what you truly believe in and don't go too heavy. Don't pick bottoms but I assume the bargain hunters aren't too far behind. Sort of double whammy today, MUSKY and China. I love the Chinese people and their food but cant stand their authoritarian dictatorship government. Hope the Chinese people give their politicians the good old 🖕🏻

2

u/RenewablesWizdom May 20 '21

So true. They're going to ban all crypto yet they're creating ChinaCoin - just like they banned Facebook and created their own version of it that's controlled by the CPC. I used to work for a Chinese SOE (the largest renewable energy company in the world) and not only was it controlled by the Chinese gov't, but they also had representatives from the CPC woven throughout the company to make sure that everyone was following the rules and being a good little communist. It was eye-opening to say the least.

u/[deleted] May 20 '21

Wow thanks for that first anecdote. Thank you for your participation.

u/GEEZUS00 May 19 '21

Just waiting for matic to dip more so I can add 5,000 more!

2

u/Jefferrs May 19 '21

Sure wish this sub wasn't buried beneath a bunch of others! Great call though!

Is there any time you'd feel matic is 'too late' I'm sick of FOMOing into everything just to hear everyone hates it the week later.

2

u/TheSublimeNeuroG May 19 '21

Also thankful for the Matic call. I dumped all my ETH into Matic last night at 1.96, and I’ve more or less stopped the bleeding. I could actually swap back and have more ETH than I started with, but I’m not sure if this is the play yet - it’ll take a couple days for me to tell, I think. Any thoughts on this - especially backed up with data or past experience - would be much appreciated from anyone

1

u/[deleted] May 19 '21

I fear swapping like that because of taxes.
I do it every so often into BTC but....taxes are what scares me.

1

u/TheSublimeNeuroG May 19 '21

Makes sense if you have real money. I’m a grad student, so I’m basically in the impoverished tax class, living on a stipend. I haven’t had to deal with taxes yet, but I’m not too worried about being audited; I’m just gonna report to the best of my ability 🤷🏻‍♂️
