One reason I'm very bullish on bitc0in....

It has recognisable an actionable timescale

In addition to having about 2-3 significant moves yearly

Larger timesale- By virtue of its supply being cut in half every four years (called the halving), and increasing demand, this causes a well timed huge rally every 4 years (termed bull run) that propels the market to new highs... Hence, so far no one who's held bitc0in for 4 years has had to sell at a loss... In investing, having a market that provides these can be priceless....

After the end of each bullrun comes a healthy correction which IMO, is opportunity to amass it on the discount

The 2020/2021 bullrun which is still in play propelled the price of bitc0in from about 12k isd after the halving to 60k so far with a good chance it goes higher.. This was largely driven by institutions adopting bitc0in as a store of value with some buying it in hundreds of millions...


The next halving is in 2024... And if history is anything to go by, there should be another rally. It is my view that the 2024 rally will largely be propelled by countries adopting crypt0 either by means of owning Bitc0in or issuing central bank backed stable coins. Already one country has began to build bitc0in reserves.

Come to think of it, crypt0 provides tangible assets that can be traded in hundreds of countries worldwide. With the way bitc0in is structured, it protects folks from inflation.
This is something I believe countries might not even be able to control. Due to poor economic policies, we've seen citizens of countries with unstable currencies e.g Turkey, Nigeria, Lebanon, Venezuela e.t.c troop into crypt0 to protect their assets. It's only a matter of time before a currency pulls a Zimbabwe on it's citizens. The winners would be thise who were able to hedge their assets against inflation...and crypt0 is one of the easiest ways to do that. It's not my prayer that countries go bust, butin life, somethings are bound to happen.

Being more futuristic, moreso with more crypt0 exchages offering cards to directly spend crypt0 in everyday transactions, I'd say that if ever there was going to be a human currency that transcends geographic locations to be used in everyday spending, it'd likely be based on crypt0. We're not there yet, but it's not hard to see it happening

Generally, trx is not a coin I trade... Its not performed well against Bitc0in or eith in the past..

Of course, every coin has its day, but I like being with the strongest participants

You are very right sir. Most times it's hard to filter the get-quick-rich mindset guys from investors on that thread so I hardly visit it these days.

Many of them want to go into crypt0 without learning and practising the basics and that's were the problem lies. Many are so impatient with the market. These days, I am even careful with the kind of people I teach crypto so that I doesn't shoot himself in the foot.

Thanks for the work you're doing sir.
You hit the nail on the head

Now to some trading....

With the solana rally, I believe lots of people will rush into buy it at close to 150....

Two coyns I'm looking at are dot and uni....

I enjoyed the first parabolic move of dot from 4 to 20 and then 40 earlier this year.... It cooled down before the selloff...

Looking at it now, it looks juicy...

First against Bitc0in it's flipping the weekly ema support....

I got some of it today at 25, staked it at 20% apr and targeting 40-50 (2x) at the first instance from it....

My plan will be to sell there, hopefully reload lower and target a price discovery run afterwards

Good chance it and uni could pull a solana if they break previous ATH

If you want to make good entries on alyt in a bull run,

There are 2 cheat codes I'd advice,

First ficus on the daily and weekly charts against Bitc0in and usdt....

Second, make your ema settings to 21..... Most coyns will keep touching this and rallying up until they top out... What I do is target what coins are holding their support during a selloff...

At this stage of the market, I'd say most people would likely do better over the next few weeks if they target a few coins and just hold rather than jumping from pillar to post...

A good number of coyns have a decent chance of pulling a 50% from their current valuations if bitc0in remains stable over the next few weeks-months

Personally, as I shared on the other thread, irrespective of what bitc0in does in the interim ( as far as it's above 40k), I don't see the need to sell any of my alyts for now..... if a pullback comes and gives lower prices, I'd add more

Some of my alyt entries and target sells are...

One... Entry was at 1... Target is 1.5

Kusama... Entry between 280 and 300... Target is between 500-600

Dot- as above

Uni- entry was between 25-27... Target is 40

Link- entry was between 20-25, target is 40-50

Xrp- entry was 0.59... target 1.8 ish

Theta- entry was 7, target 12-15

Tfuel- entry was 0.36, target 0.6

Icp... Entry was around 66 and 40... targeting 120-150 on it...

Still got some shib (entry 0.cool and doge... Targeting 2x on both... Personally, I don't think doge will perform as well this time around... Many people who missed its last rallies have been lurking around in it... Me feels it'd still grustrate folks a lil

Usually, there's a rhythm to this market.... Eith or ada moves first and the other follows....

Coins that move on tandem can provide an opportunity to maximize profits if the second is lagging
If eith moves towards 4k, then etc will usually follow quickly... If it lags, then I cycle

If bnb moves towards 600-650, then bake and cake usually follow...

Seriously, having some crypt0 assets is becoming a no brainer for Nigerians...

Looking at the exchange rate today, the fact is even if your crypt0 asset did not move, youre up 6% over the last month.... That's what TB yields are for a year... In essence, if you buy TBs at 7%, by the time you get your money back, it might have lost 50% of its value

What alot of older folks are still failing to grasp is that as far as the naira continues to devalue this rapidly, one is losing money in real terms by owning most naira denominated investment...be it bonds, TB's e.t.c

With the manoeuvring by the CBN in the past 2 weeks, it was obvious the market will respond badly....

Now, they're running out of options and the populace are increasingly losing faith in the Naira.
IMO, they are left with two options- either remove dollar subsidies or go for domiciliary accounts...

As a Nigerian, crypt0 may save you

Staking....

This is one aspect ofter overlooked... Thinking being that a 10% move is just another day in crypt0...

But then, most will end up holding coyns for long periods without earning on them....

This is the reward on staked assets in one of my crypt0 apps...good enough, its flexible... So I can unstake and sell my assets asap.
If you catch a proper market dip on alyts like we had the last few months, and plan to hold for a while, staking them can give good profits....

In the long run, if I'm lucky to accumulate good amounts of bitc0in, I'd just mainly stake tgem and let it be...

Also, sometimes, locked staking (which gives better retuns)is helpful when I don't want to tamper with some assets for a while... E.g when u snipe bitc0in during a selloff, I just sensibly staje it for 3 months fes..

One part of investing in crypt0 is planning for the windfall lomg before it arrives....

Crypt0 as weve come to see can be volatile with high waves and huge tides....


Generally looking for ways to lock in profits when a huge upside move ensures would ensure one has the dry powder to buy when the dips come calling....

One way I do this is by cycling crypt0 profits into less volatile investments.... Most times, this is outside the crypt0 space... Could be certain investment accounts, TB's (in the past), some stocks e.t.c... Recently, I also stake stable coyns to let hige wins cool off

The summary of this is that one should always seek an edge in navigating the market... Not holding for eternity and hoping

Another is crypt0 loans....
Now, this is not for everyone

But the fact that one can borrow fiat at rates of lower than 1% using their crypt0 currency as collateral is significant.... This is similar to traditional borrowing against ones stocks e.t.c just that it's quicker, faster and cheaper.

Most crypt0 backed borrowing firms already have billions of dollars in borrowed assets...

https://tokentax.co/blog/8-best-crypto-loans/

To put things in context,
Bitc0in has continued to grow year on year. No one who's held bitc0in for 4 years has been at a loss... So that means I can obtain a loan at 1% interest rate against an asset that growing 10-20% year on year... That's some good arbitrage

Take for example, I need some cash and I have 2 Bitc0in around a time I feel its undervalued e.g during the selloff to 3k e.t.c...
I could borrow fiat against my bitc0in at a rate of 1% and payback wh..

E.g say I have 1 bitc0in and the market price is 20k USD and I need 5k usd and I don't want to sell my bitc0in just yet... I could deposit part of the bitc0in, borrow 5k usd at 1% months later, the price of bitc0in could have recovered to say 35kusd, I could sell then and offset my debt and wait for a dip to buy back and still own my 1 bitc0in

In that way, I'm leveraging on my asset to create wealth. This is an everyday occurrence on financial markets and generally how some families built their wealth without selling their assets.

Now, like I said, this is not something I'd advise anyone new to financial markets to dabble with...
Oga Jedisco. God bless you for this service to humanity. You are opening my eyes in several ways with this thread. Ride on sir

Oga what's your capital allocation % between your HODL bag and trading bag

And also at what points (signals) would you sell your HODL bag?

I don't have a fixed percentage yet but I'm tilting towards that.. But I'm more of a swing or long-term trader than day trader... Once in a while, I spot good daily moves and cash out....

The thing about holding is that one has a clearer view of the market... And you wouldn't need a chart to tell you it's time to take profit nd wait for a retrace....
E.g last year when I held dot and uni from 4 to 20... I didn't need anyone to tell me that at 20 dols, I should take profit which I did.... Most day traders who subsequently jumped in hoping to benefit from a bounce from 18 back to 20 were stuck...
Similar to sol.... Folks who bought at 30 are almost 5x up and wouldn't need a prophet to tell themto take some profits between 100 and 150... that's when some day traders would start to FOMO

If betece does go on another run, my plan is to focus on a few assets, take profits either by selling into usd, betece on flipping them.... When theres a retrace, I deploy back into same assets...

Of recent, I started averaging slowly into certain micros..... If there's a dip, I'd add more.... If they go on to repeat what they did earlier this yr, I wouldn't need advice to know when to take profit

This is my view of the market, of course it can differ for most
