/biz/ - Business & Finance

What call options are you buying on Tuesday?

No, I'm not talking about Tether and the like. I'm talking about shit that has hardly moved at all (crab dumping or pump and dump back to pre-December price in other words) despite the btc surge last November. I'll start:
> LTC
> XRP
> LINK
> VRA

Just /biz/ things. Apparently everyone in the US is either rich as hell or living on peanuts, there is nothing in between. Heh, of course I was being kind of sarcastic... but the salaries are sometimes a bit crazy. Like welders making 50+ bucks per hour and /biz/ electricians charging 80 bucks per hour. Real or fake?

Hate to say it man but you're a midwit. Thinks they're smart, but literally, they're neither stupid nor smart. You're just average. Specifically, midwits have a really bad time making money because they do everything the "right way" and they always overthink everything before taking action. Meanwhile, retards just act without thinking and the smart ones always have a several steps ahead of the crowd approach.

That's why you're failing in crypto. Only retards and the extremely smart succeed with making money. Sorry.

Outside of the usual dumb midwit platitude advice (DON't CaTCH a FaLLing KNife BRO!!!), what lessons have we all learned here from the bear market, so we don't get screwed in the bull and the subsequent bear that follows? I'll start:
> Stop falling for the HODL meme. HODLing only applies to bitcoin holdings. Altcoins only need to be held until the next cycle top (which is quite obvious seeing what normies are saying out loud about bitcoin and twitter ramblings)
> If bitcoin starts getting -25% in a single day, you can safely assume the bull is OVER. No more roundtripping your alts all the way down to the bottom (I had to learn this the painful way back in '22).
> All the ramblings about bitcoin going to $500k-$1m are total nonsense for the next bullrun at least. Understand market cap, circulating supply, sentiment, and macro.
> Take major profits from alts and either rotate them to the next up and coming alt or into bitcoin. Don't get fleeced by the whales this time around, and if you rotate profits into btc/other alts, this will prevent panic selling of your alt holdings (ie: once an alt goes 2x in your portfolio, cash out 33% of those holdings and rotate it into next small cap alt or into bitcoin, hold the other 66% until cycle top)
> ALWAYS hold at least 20-30% bitcoin in your folio, you always need a market hedge if in case there's flash dumping/major corrections so you don't panic sell your alts too soon

I hope this helps. Any other tips?

Instead of feeling jealous and bitter (like I used to), I instead go, "congratulations to you bagholders! moving on" then I could care less.

Bros, I feel like I'm evolving as an investor. I'm still -50% in the hole with investing, but my emotions with investing are finally leaving. At long last, those pesky emotions that made me make all types of disastrous decisions that led me to -50% - fomo, panic selling, seething at other successful people, etc. etc. etc. are now a thing of the past.

Go ahead, tell me I'm just coping or "I haven't felt real pain yet." I've already experienced that very pain back in '22, that's why I'm evolving now.

I had a friend who was just like this anon. EVERY time he got a new gf, he disappeared off the face of the planet, but as soon as he got dumped or cheated on, he came crawling back like nothing ever happened.

The best thing to do is to slow fade him. Gradually wind down how much you text him back, delay texts back, and eventually just stop talking to him altogether. The normies need to know what it feels like when they treat others that same exact way (I've been slow faded on numerous times before and it fucking hurts like hell - normies need to understand that to learn their lesson).

P.S.: As far as the money he "borrowed" from you, just pretend he's never going to pay you back because he NEVER will. Take this as a learning experience and stop hanging out with losers like him.

Some wisdom for tards around here who don't already know this.

If you're suddenly going to become an ambitious entrepreneur and you fall for the influencers' bullshit that you're supposed to read 20 finance based books a week for "mindset bro", then I'll give a tip:
> DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH BOOKS! Instead, read book summaries for the "essential" books and read them over again a few times over so the summaries are glued to your head.
> If you choose to waste your time with books anyways, you'll quickly discover that 99.9% of them are composed of 99% fluff/personal life bullshit that has nothing to do with finance. You'll wish you had followed the greentext point above at that point.

There you go. I just saved y'all months to even years of your life that you were about to waste on those narcissistic diaries *cough* finance books.

go pick your yellow grass

I spent this entire bear market being piss-in-my-undies terrified of what would happen to my portfolio.

This was because I was originally invested in "muh tech" projects such as Harmony One that had a centralized foundation behind it dumping on retail and "we got hacked" (we all know what that really means - luckily I bailed out of ONE before they got hacked). I ended up panic selling those alts into bitcoin and tiny bit of eth. I can't even begin to tell you how comfy I am now - I'm no longer panic selling anything and I'm not living in fear every day anymore.

Yes, we're in uncharted waters with this everlasting bear market, but I've learned many painful but valuable lessons in this bear market.

tldr; avoid centralized foundation shitcoins that regularly unlock tokens and dump on retail - you all know there's certain tokens shilled on this board constantly that fit this exact warning/danger formula.

Spend the only 2 weeks a year travelling to become 10k poorer to "find yourself XDD" in an oriental shithole.
Then wait 50 more weeks wageslaving.

Let me tell you the flaw in your logic:
According to your sources the only legal XRP is the 1% on exchanges and in retail pockets, if this were to be true an institution like blackrock or vanguard or whatever would buy it up instantly and then sell for a higher price, but no such thing has happened.
Schizos.

Presales are effectively outlawed now.

Presale of tokens to privileged parties = unregistered securities (breaking the law, suck it stupid rich frat bros dumping on retail using the presales trick)

Now, everyone must play the game fairly with the rest of us plebs when tokens get on exchanges. No more VC and Harvard bros getting rich off of dumping on us.

How is it retarded? Honestly asking. If anything, I'd say it is undervalued

For those who keep gambling on shitcoins (I've been guilty of this too), y'all need to start paying attention to the name of the token and not just what susbot and tokensniffer tell you. Also, never believe word of mouth.

Some examples of names mattering:
> Shib - 1000000x
> Pepe - another gajillion x from the bottom
> Wojak - dumped sooner than expected, but some nice gains to be made from it
> Dogecoin - did another mega quadrillion x from several years ago, it's a world famous meme

And so many other examples. The only shitcoins that go thousands to million x are those with catchy/famous meme names, and not stupid derivative names. Some stupid shitcoins many around here have fallen for have incredibly stupid names like "Don't Buy Inu", "BillionaireShiba", "BangaBonga" and all kinds of stupid names. What did you expect to happen when gambling on derivative shitcoins? They don't have catchy/memorable names, and normies don't care about them.

The moral of the story is that the name of the token needs to be simply and straight to the point in terms of famous memes. For instance, invest in Pepe instead of GiantDickPepe for example.

I'm not gonna lie bros, I was much happier, less worried and less stressed before I got into investing and always having several charts plastered across my screen for most of the day. I spent more time on literature, cinema, social groups and going outside than I do investing. Take the ascetic pill bros..

Watched that tiktok reel. Without bashing the poor nose ringer:

Her problem is that each job she's applying to has hundreds upon hundreds of applicants. When your competition is that fierce, then your personal portfolio + network (most important factor by far) needs to be legendary. Otherwise, you'll get ignored.

Also, if you don't have much of a network (especially if you have no linkedin+monster+indeed profiles), then you're wasting your time if you're applying to hundreds of jobs. It definitely helps to get someone you know to get you an interview, or get noticed by a recruiter. That's the power of networking.

European index chads assemble. Stocks are once again at ATH and nothing can stop us. I only regret not buying more. Bobos literally cannot win in Europe. The stocks are still undervalued compared to their massive earnings. We're eating good tonight

Demoralization isn't genetic. It's a product of the media.
Hopeless people are the most fertile soil for potential despots to utilize.

Serfie, serfie till the terfie
Monk gets beef and gets real girthy
Serfie, serfie pay your tax
So monk can stay inside and 'lax

Serfie toils in the fields.
Monk is given half his yields.
His baron takes all of the rest.
"B-but I worked so hard and tried my best!"
He goes home to his haggard wife,
every day regrets his life.

The plague comes through and his family all die,
He still goes out the next day to harvest the rye.
He works all day and through the night,
but he still succumbs to the blight.
He lays there dying, pale and scabby,
While monk is safe inside the abbey.

wtf jus happen ?!

Serfie serfie till the terfie
Monk gets beef and gets real girthy
Monk is comfy
Monk is cool
Monk is free for prayer and school
Serfie Serfie pay your tax
So monk can stay inside and 'lax

Serfie toiling in the fields.
Monk is given half his yields.
baron takes all of the rest.
"B-but I worked so hard and tried my best!"
goes home to his haggard wife,
every day regrets his life.
Serfie cries and serfie moans,
Works his fingers to the bones.
Work and work, must pay the tithe.
Only exit is a knive.
Then plague comes, his family die
out next day to harvest rye
works all day and through the night,
still succumbs to hated blight.
Lays there dying, pale and scabby,
Monk is safe inside the abbey.

Serfie trapped and serfie dies.
Monk eats tendies, sauce, and pies.
