the longer i’m in crypto the more of a bitcoin maxi i’ve become and i was one in 2016 but then drifted away from the goddess

still cool things happening in other parts of crypto like zero knowledge proofs with blobs / modular blockchains, decentralized finance, real world assets and nonfungible assets.. technology that will change the world

but there is too much noise and memes now, not enough building

Lmao it is a big joke.

yes a lot of crypto has become a big joke because of people like you promoting new solana rugs daily

and everyone gets the joke at this point, it has been done to death and it really wasn’t that funny of a joke to start, I won’t lie I went “lol that’s an absurd name” the first time I saw it a couple years ago

this has to be the 900th n coin i’ve seen

it just seems like the joke now is “hahaha we’re investing in something with the n word and we make edgy AI media to promote it all over Twitter”

maybe i'm missing something

to be clear i’m not even anti memecoin, i'm just anti these unfunny unoriginal solana pump fun rugs.. what Juna Cena does in his thread is more well researched, then just buying KOL jokes

This thing has a near 3 mill market cap.

I've made easy money off it and so has a s*** ton of people when the market has been dogshit. It's a memecoin

Do you think I'm telling you fat nigga season is the future of cryptocurrency here?

Crypto is a completely unregulated space you play the game and you get out.

Idk what you're investing in longterm in this space that isn't bitcoin, but chances are it's not gonna be stable. I'm sure there are definitely good projects in the works but there's a reason this is a casino right now.

no that’s exactly the problem you’re telling everyone to chase the hot ball of wax and hope they don’t get stuck holding the bag

good for you that you made money glad you bought low and sold high

people are free to invest in what they like but these things are a tough game of musical chairs

also regarding your edited last part, there are plenty of projects that aren’t Bitcoin that will have 100x gains and sustain them but almost none of them will be these flash in the pan moonshots

you have to have long term conviction for that and research things though, not just go to the casino and put everything on black while there is some bot somewhere bundling the supply, basically controlling the roulette wheel

What are y’all buying?

Crypto is a casino dog. I've given maybe two coins out and they both went up.

If bitcoin can drop 20k in a day this s*** is not stable.

Maybe one day, but not right now especially with trumps antics.

What projects are you referring to? I'm down to hear about it. I do believe in crypto, it just isn't there yet.

You could've made a nice little come up in the last hour BTW

you have the wrong mindset, the get rich quick mindset

20% is nothing on a long enough time frame if it keeps going up, a memecoin that goes down 99.9% is a total lose. 50% drops happen.. totally death is a different story

timing the market is overrated, time in the market is king.. especially for the average player

also there are only like 500 projects that have lasted more than a month so there aren’t that many once you filter for rugs

start looking into the next L2, the next defi protocols, rwa, the next L1 even. i think hell even some blue chip NFT projects have potential to make multiple still.

i mean more power to you if you make a living doing this but i feel like 99% of y’all especially now that liquidity is drying up are about to get rekt doing this s***

it’s one thing when the casino is running on easy mode but the less money in crypto the faster we go pvp mode always

That's completely fair and I dont disagree. I'm used to doing low caps so getting in for an easy scalp has always been my thing.

Alot of people doing it will probably get hit eventually

yeah and that’s fine if you get a strategy that seems to be working just don’t expect it to work forever which you seem smart enough to know

i’m not even trying to hate just pointing the fact many will get burned from this rigged game

Absolutely. You have to plan around it. I would never recommend someone full porting into anything, let alone meme coins.

I just see the market as pretty rigged and crypto can be as well but It's easier to make a come up if you're smart about it.

With who?

Please tell me Ethereum is ok.

welcome to post irony

I still think Ethereum is going to 10k someday

it's in a 4 year accumulation pattern like I said a week ago

I just think Bitcoin is the safer more sure bet, I really can see a world where each BTC is worth 20 million plus in decades

Ethereum could end up like AOL or Amazon idk, but I think over the next couple years it has a good chance of having larger gains than BTC

Maybe I wasn't clear last night.

I'm not telling you to just buy Bitcoin—while it's the lowest-risk option, it won’t make you a millionaire unless you start with $50K and wait two decades.

There are plenty of solid long-term investments beyond BTC. I just acknowledge that Bitcoin has the best risk-to-reward ratio for long-term investors.

Most of you could see life-changing gains in pumpfun CTO coins, but many will fumble the bag—it’s a tough game to play.

Like I said last night:
"Start looking into the next L2, the next DeFi protocols, RWA, the next L1 even. Hell, even some blue-chip NFT projects or memecoins with a team building still have potential to multiply. There are plenty of projects outside of Bitcoin that will see 100x gains and sustain them, but almost none of them will be these flash-in-the-pan moonshots."

One example, I bought my first Ethereum at $20 in 2017. It crashed a million times before I sold most of it for $4,500 six years later. Rebought it for a much lower price. That kind of money isn’t made overnight—it usually takes months or years.

Also trying new chains and exploring what is happening in the building side of Crypto is a great way to get airdrops but most y'all would rather buy dogshitmeme69420. I’m against chasing the daily KOL “dogshit shill” on Pump.fun.

I’m just trying to explain that while Pump.fun can make a ridiculous amount of money, it’s high risk, and a lot of people will get burned—either because of bundling or not understanding how the game works. Some of these plays are legitimate investments if you pay attention (see the Juna Cena thread), but most are just scams.

The end goal is to end up with more ETH/BTC.

Where is the bull run they promised me in late 2023? I started investing in 2023 hoping it would rise in 24 and 25 but here we are
