Guys Im finally losing money in Crypto

Been crazily busy with work, life and of course crypto the past month plus.
Things should start slowing down for me in late Oct or Nov, and hopefully I will be posting a lot more then.

The BTC 2013-2014 bubble pop saw BTC price decline 92%. That's scary. It took 3 years odd to reclaim back those ATHs.

ETH is currently sitting at an approximately 85-86% drawdown.
If we match those 92% drawdowns, we are looking at $110.
(Why would we? Why should we?)

The past month has been particularly brutal. Can you imagine that I've managed to stay abovewater the entire time until just recently? I thought I was doing really well until I got clubbed over the head.

I am fine to share that I have finally sunk below my capital that I've put in. Yup, that's right. Even with all my good ICO flips, long swing trades, short term trading and arbitrage profits to buffer me, along with an average entry that I thought was pretty low, I am finally in losses.

Not trying to hide it.
It is what it is, what more can I say?

That's right, you could actually enter now and you'll have a better average price than me.
But of course you won't. Heh.

There is a lot of concerns and worries about ETH in particular. I am largely unfazed.
I've broken into my warchest and I'm buying the dip.

Yall might think I'm crazy, but let's be real for a moment.

No one cares what's your portfolio IRR on 10 Sep 2018.
And why is that? Because the only value that matters is the day you sell.

Unfortunately for me, my journey involves my portfolio going into the shitter first, before it subsequently (hopefully) takes off. And I'm okay with that.

My eye is on the prize.

I didn't sign up for slow and steady, low risk, low drawdown returns.
That's a rolling fixed deposit.

I knowingly and willingly signed up for this crazy crypto shit.

If it was so easy, we'd all be millionaires, right? Heh. But as always:

No guts, no glory.
No brain, same story.

Stay safe in crypto. If you're uncomfortable doing anything, I suggest you just sit on the sidelines and watch me make a fool of myself.

As always, feel free to counter-trade me and profit from your wisdom that cryptocurrencies will all go to zero. No point having such knowledge and making no money from it, amirite?

The HERD is coming into Crypto!!!

Image
Bought crypto in 2017? Congrats fellow crypto OG on being a verified early adopter. THARMS UP MAN. Buying crypto in 2018? HERD SHEEP FOMO NOOB, get rekt beech! Proof of herd? This . The herd is coming in and buying everything with a face value of under $10, especially things below $1. Madness. Who cares about circulating supply or market cap? Price is the most important thing, right? The next time someone says that the "price is cheap, so it's a better buy", I'm going to shit myself instantly on the spot. I cannot tell you the number of times people told me that they can't buy a crypto because "it's so expensive". *COUGH COUGH COUGH DGD COUGH COUGH COUGH* Anyway, we already knew that this would happen. Just a PSA and FYI, the herd is already here, and half of them are STILL stuck at registration and verification at exchanges. I know someone that has already been waiting 2.5 weeks to be verified. And that was before the alt-coin FOMO boomz and we are...

46% of 2017 ICOs have already failed, Yours is next

Interesting piece for your reading consumption. I'd say the #1 misconception now by intermediate crypto players is the thinking that you "need to do more ICOs to juice up your returns, especially in a sideways / bear market". Meh. Won't say I fully disagree, but I don't think that is very accurate, or else I would be doing that strategy as well. However, I must say that crypto ICOs are extremely skewed with risk and rewards. For some people, going for obscure ICOs and hunting down low cap cryptos - AFTER FILTERING AND ANALYSIS - can prove to be an extremely profitable strategy. Then again, this strategy only works with limited value since you don't want to end up being the only person driving up the price and volume. How can you exit a huge position if the daily trading volume is less than your holdings? ^ This is something that A LOT of people just don't understand. Market freaking depth. Just because the price is $X, that does not mean that you can sell...

Value Investing Case Study: Does it apply to Crypto?

Image
For some reason, I managed to stumble upon this article by Dr Wealth that was written back in Feb 2018 regarding his LTC trade . Simple TLDR is that the NAV was $1.63, but was trading at $0.60. Dr Wealth had quite high confidence in the integrity of the underlying assets, since they were largely in (1) investment properties that are yielding good rental, (2) fixed deposits and (3) cash and bank balances. These kind of assets do not need to be marked down deeply when considering their salvage value. 7 months later, buyout offer with a 54% return from entry. Fantastic trade. This reminded me very much of my Saizen REIT trade which saw me realize a total gain (dividends + gain) of 40.4% over about 1.5 years . I consider it as one of my early masterpieces because of just how sure I was that all the evidence is pointing towards good future gains. Yes, I had strong evidence . Now, buying assets at a discount to NAV is a pretty good strategy if it satisfies some criteria: 1) there should be e...
