Who here is into crypto?

My stocks are also down 48% not a nice time to look at my portfolio
-
How on earth did you lose 48%?! 😳
Is this from the peak in November, or just this month? It’s normal for some high flyers to drop more than the overall market, and 48% in a single position is not uncommon during a correction period or bear market, but 48% over an entire portfolio is something I haven’t seen since my early rookie mistakes.Alea jacta est! -
Be careful with crypto, you can get your face ripped off. I certainly wouldn’t hold it long term but that’s just me. I believe all the billionaires made out and got out last year.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Crypto is far more volatile than stocks.
Usually with stocks (other than speculative stocks), IMO it’s fairly straightforward to know where you’re going and whether you should be worried about momentary dips, like March 2020 or now. When you have a good grasp of what you’re invested in, and why, fluctuations aren’t usually a cause for concern. In fact, they’re frequently a buying opportunity.Alea jacta est! -
P.S. I assumed Willow was talking about stocks in his “portfolio” earlier, but maybe not. 🤷♂️Alea jacta est!

I agree, I'm not concerned it was just a shock to see it all drop. I'm in for the long haul.

Oh, that could be as he mentioned his stocks also are down 48%, I was just referring to crypto. He must hold other speculative stocks other than crypto to be down like that.

Without getting too far off the crypto discussion (there are some parallels, obviously), huge drops are not common in stocks. For example:
- Investor Smith invested $100K in a reasonably balanced portfolio of stocks 5 years ago
- Smith could easily have been holding $400K by New Year’s Day this year (if anyone thinks this is an unreasonable expectation, they can DM me to discuss further).
- In this scenario, by today, they might be losing 10-15% from their peak last November, so they’d still be holding $440-460K.

Got out way before the drop , bought doge at 0.05 for $10,000 and sold at 0.65 was a nice take . Waiting for doge 1 to launch, a week or two before I will buy another $10,000 and take another big profit.

I built and manage rigs for a friend of mine. He did pretty good and got out before the big crash. We are in wait mode now.Pio Elete Pro 520

Yeah, kids came home for the weekend when Doge was doing it's thing. They bought in at .05, I told the wife to grab a couple K's worth at $.12 and yes...we all bailed out when it go into $.60's.

Cryptocurrency easily explained.
Not long ago, a merchant found monkeys living near a village.
One day he came to the village stating that he wanted to buy monkeys for $100 each.
The villagers thought that the man must be crazy. Why would somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each?
Still, people caught monkeys and sold them to the Merchant for $100 each.
This news spread like wildfire and more people caught monkeys and sold them to the Merchant.
After a few days, the Merchant announced that he would now buy monkeys for $200 each.
The laziest villagers now ran around to catch the remaining monkeys which they sold at $200 each.
The Merchant then announced that he would buy monkeys for $500 each!
The villagers caught six or seven monkeys, which were all that were left, and got $500 each.
They then waited anxiously for the next announcement.
Then the Merchant proclaimed that he was going on holiday for a week, but when he returned would buy monkeys at $1000 each. He also said that, in his absence, his Employee would be in charge to take care of the monkeys he had purchased. Then the Merchant went on holiday.
The villagers were frantic as there were no more monkeys left for them to sell at $1000 each as promised by the Merchant, but then the Merchant's Employee publicized that he would secretly sell some monkeys at $700 each.
This news spread like wildfire and the next day the villagers queued up near the monkey cage.
The Employee sold all the monkeys at $700 each. The rich villagers bought monkeys in large lots, and the poor borrowed money from money lenders and bought the rest of the monkeys.
The villagers took care of their monkeys and waited for the Merchant to return.
When the Merchant didn't return they searched to for the Employee, but he could not be found either.
Eventually the Villagers realized that they had been duped into buying the useless stray monkeys at $700 each and were now unable to sell them for any amount.
