It's fair to assume this board is dominated by conservatives, but my hunch is that conservative are falling behind on the early investment into Crypto.

How many of you are investing in Crypto currency? How many of you are not?

I firmly believe that conservatives need to start going all in on crypto NOW.

The easiest way is to DCA (dollar cost average).

Lets say you have $10,000 sitting in your bank account. Open an account at any major exchange, deposit that $10,000 (you don't have to transfer all of it at once), pick the top coins (Bitcoin, Ethereium, BNB, XRP, Solana, Matic, Binance, CRO, etc) and you buy during the big dips.

For instance, BTC is currently at $42k per bitcoin (down form 68k). You don't have to buy a full BTC. You can buy $1 worth, $100 worth, $1000 worth, whatever you want. What you do is buy the dips. If you have $10,000 to invest right now, you use a portion of that right now (literally right now) ot buy in and wait for another dip. You put $100 into Bitcoin, $100 into Etherium, $100 into CRO. Another $100 into BNB, another $100 into Matic. Etc etc etc. Just stick to the top 5-10 coins for now and only invest 10% today spread across those coins.

You still have $9,000 left to invest. BTC (bitcoin) may drop to 39k next week after the emergency fed meeting and when BTC drops, most other coins drop as well.

So if BTC reaches 39k, you invest another 10%. $100 in BTC, $100 into Ethereium, $100 into BNB, $100 in MATIC, $100 into CRO, etc etc etc. Stick to the top 5-10 coins.

If BTC drops to 35k, you do the same thing.

If it then drops to 29k you do it again.


This is called Dollar Cost averaging (DCA).


Never buy when crypto is increasing in value. NEVER. Only buy when the market is going down and only put in a portion of your available funds in. You want to always have money on the side available to buy the dips in the market. Each month, add more money so you'll always have enough to buy the dips.


Here's a good YouTube channel to watch daily to become more informed. CryptosAreUs is a good one:

If you use Crypto.com as your exchange, you can actually get a crypto debit card with a visa/mastercard logo that you can use for all of your debit/credit purchases. Your rewards will dwarf that of what a rotten bank will offer as well.

If you're serious about getting out of the grip of the establishment, big banks, and the US dollar, you need to go ALL IN on crypto. We're still in the early phase of crypto and I want to see all conservatives get into it NOW.

Only invest expendable income. Don't take out loans, sell the house, sell a kidney, buy using a credit card, etc etc etc.

I'd bet you could get a better answer on the "Money" board.

Your definition of dollar cost averaging is incorrect.

I have 1 million in USDC staking on various platforms, 100k in the Luna ecosystem, 150k in the cosmos ecosystem, and a bit in other chains. 115k cash in the safe, and enough guns and ammo to last a while. I am ready

Crypto does not need to be made political right now, but some people have it in mind to do so. Other members in congress have also been wanting trying to circumvent the way encryption in general is handled which also poses much broader problems.

My state rep in Ohio is big into bills protecting Crypto, but I keep hearing whispers about some kind of executive order coming from the Brandon Admin. against crypto.

Competing with Federal Reserve Notes makes the political aspect an inevitability.

I believe they are eventually going to create a Federal Coin and basically mandate a conversion over to the Coin in a similar fashion to the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, where FDR basically said "All your gold are belong to us."

Know one knows what it will be, but the gov makes a ton from taxing crypto.

If it's something too drastic then I expect it to get challenged in courts.

Actually your post is about asw destructive a post as I have ever seen here. ABSURDLY BAD ADVICE.

buy during the big dips
quote:

Never buy when crypto is increasing in value. NEVER. Only buy when the market is going down
you are a con and nothing else.

DO NOT FOLLOW THIS JACKLEGS ADVICE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE GUARANTEED OF LOSING MONEY.

Most winning trades were made when the market was rising
AND
most losing trades were entered when the market was falling

unless you have solid knowledge of why there was going to be a reversal - a tiny fraction of all trades...

This guy is poison. AVOID.

Yes. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Matic. I was skeptical on Matic since it was originally a short-term resolution to Ethereum's inability to scale - and with Ethereum 2 in the pipeline any token built around resolving a short-term problem is just that - short-term.

Well I was wrong. Matic formed into essentially its own token ecosystem that piggybacks off of the Ethereum network. I invested and it has not disappointed me.

So those are my big 3. Don't have the time to sling shitcoins anymore. I use Celsius Wallet and make a passive income by holding. Generally I just work my regular job and forget about it, if I hear about a big crash I buy more, but other than that - just let the interest compound.

Been buying crypto for two years. DCA bitcoin every week. Wish I had more money so I could buy more. I agree with you completely. People that don't start now are going to regret it down the road. Bigly.
