I have traded more than most profressional traders in my life, and have forgotten more tricks in the books than most pro Goldman Sachs traders (with 6-7 figure salary) learn in their career (which is rather short). I can tell you trading is hard, extremely hard, especially if you are doing it for yourself and for living. Few, very very few can successfully do it. I have been successful in the begining because, I was doing it as a job and running someone elses money as I was learning. I have been successful later because I was NOT trading for a living and had a full-time job. Today, towards the tail end of my career, I rarely trade. I mostly live off passive income as you have pointed out. Also I still have a day job :) So even if those passive incomes get all busted at the same time, so be it! 

If there is a Meteor Strike, we are all dead! There is no hedge against that.

Staying close to the peak holds the storm, we are to keep building regardless.
Tomorrow is always the play even when tomorrow comes tomorrow is still looked at.

It's non-stop so just keep doing the needful.

I, enter the crypto market last year with no knowledge of what am doing,boyght some coin at a price that i think i will make profit with little pump,actually it made a very good percentage, i thought it will keep on going like that, little do i know that it will even dip more then my entering level, so i lost some asset then,because of fear i sell those tokens and have a major lost,when i know that in Crypto space you don't actually loss any until you the dip,which i did but now any token i hold no matter the dip i will HODL  because one thing i observe about crypto no matter the dip it will eventually pump.

Agreed. Today is lower in price then things will be in the next 3 to 5 years. What multiple is just a guess.

I'm new to the cryptoworld. I started one year ago and I'm still learning how to do some more or less *proper* research about tokens and the projects behind them. I'm buying some token here and there if I feel convinced that they could have some potential but I never go all in but try to diversify my stakes as much as possible.

Sometimes I miss good opportunities but I need to learn to live with the fact that I can't predict the future.

Bitcoin is not for me atm because it would bind too much capital at once that I could use better in another place. Small is beautiful.

I will also stick for a while on blockchains with no or low gas fees and see what I can do there. In this respect Hive is good home base for me even if it is a small one. I have to start somewhere... 😀

Many people think that they start investing in bull market. But I think after a certain time of bear market we should start investing in good project.  Today or tomorrow it will rise up because bear market won't stay for forever. We may face temoprary loss in bear market but it's a oppotunity to buy everything in cheap price. Besides we are getting a benifit that we all have the opportunity to earn and it's really helpful to increase our asset instead of recovering our losses.  I personally think that current time is the best time to invest . I may not be correct because nobody is 100% sure in crypto market. 
Anyway make me corrent if i am wrong somewhere.

My inkling is that inflation, is the theft, that the thieves can blame on zemblanity events. 
The game of musical chairs is ending.
If they manage to increase interest rates, then markets will feel the pain.  That is, until the house of real estate cards begin collapsing, then they might free fall rates again.
Janet Yell Ann has gotten it wrong since her clandestine meetings with the war criminal Obama.  At that time, they could have reigned in some semblence of financial management.  However, they chose, mismanagement, so the silky smooth Criminal could exit with his ego intact.

The Creature from Jekyl Island is a good read to see what we might be in for (free pdf here https://archive.org/download/pdfy--Pori1NL6fKm2SnY/The%20Creature%20From%20Jekyll%20Island.pdf).  
But I think none of us thought they would go, "full retard", on the financial system.

It is an amazing time to see events move around me.  I'd love to check out and watch from the high ground.  Just like the Civil War spectators did during battles, but I have nowhere to go, and I want to keep away from the smell of gunpowder. :)

Trying to pick tops and bottoms is a fool's game. Trading is a hard game and it's more about protecting your losses so your profits outweigh your losses. Recovering from a loss is hard and I think setting a plan and following it is the best choice.

I don't own Bitcoin and have never bought any before. 

I started my journey here on Hive, with the swing in bull and bear this caught my attention;


> All the people who say "I will stack at the bottom" tend not to, because the bottom is never bottom enough, because what if it goes just that little bit further down. There is a greed in there somewhere, isn't there


It's a very popular notion among those who saw Hive at $3+, thinking...oh it's too expensive, it'll be nice to see it dip to $1 so I can buy. 

Sadly, it's now trading at $0.5 and the notion is still ever-changing in price, "I hope it dips further to .2. *then I'll buy*

The truth is we might never dip further and if we do I'm sure the notion will still be the same only a change in price which will be an obstacle to growth for anyone who wants to play the long term game and build up his/her portfolio. 

The real value is not in dollars anymore, but only a few can see this, we have real value in what's being built here on Hive and that will be the reason not to leave any space for laziness and keep building either during bear or bull. 

The moment we start seeing crypto in a more long-range instead of yearly pumps and dumps then we'll see how much value and potential exist here.

I remember when I was younger and thought trading was the place to be, earning so much money and so quickly. It sounded so exciting and these guys are so clever. The reality is the exact opposite. Wealth isn't accumulated quickly and trading is a really boring activity sat staring at a screen all day.

I love your plan and thoughts, saving a few dollars to get the lowest entry point won't matter if you believe everything is going higher in a few years.

One thing I have learned a long time ago, you can never buy at the bottom and sell at the top. And for some reason I got that out of my head and that brings so much peace of mind. In it for the long run and keep on stacking is so much fun, and feels so good, I will keep on doing it for a long time!
I bought 2000 extra HP a few weeks ago, and price didn’t really matter, as I am sure it will double, triple, quadruple etc… some day. That’s what matters, not when!

My daughter is attempting another hive comeback and trying to explain stuff to her in as brief as possible last night and then reading this now just reminded me of the sheer volume of nonsense there is.  I don't understand how people can cope with trading even while I'm watching JJ casually doing it XD

<sub>okay he doesn't do it casually but appears that way because he is happy enough to accept that he can't do any better than how he did with what he knows at the time so no point angstingf</sub>

> in the and scheme of crypto future, they are likely going to add up and amount to something significant.

And then you wrote an entire post about shavings :D

> I should have sold more when the opportunity arose.

If it's any consolation, you have dubious company in the hoarding department :)

I basically also just hold, although I have shifted around a bit selling something to buy a different one.

Over the years, I have taken the strategy of cumulating whatever the market is doing.
I focus more on what I can do to generate much more than looking at the total value of my portfolio.
Crypto cycles come and go, but the trend has been clearly up over the years, considering big disasters happening every once in a while (as with Terra a few days ago). 
I've learned it is much more productive to focus on what you can bring to earn from your knowledge and expertise and forget about trading.

>I should have sold more when the opportunity arose.

I think so, too. If I were you, I would spare some HIVE to sell in case when it reached around $1 or $3 like in November, 2021. I don't think that you need much more HIVE to power up like me :)
