Big Turk Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 28 minutes ago, Augie said: We bought a Buckhead townhouse from a young guy who sold a company and made some good money. (We rented to our son and DIL - for about half the market rent.) He decided to become a day trader. We continued to get some of his mail. After about a year the mail became predominantly past due notices. I’m not referring to Big Turk or anyone else in particular. I’m just saying it’s not as easy as it looks, and most people are not as smart as they think they are. Sucks to learn that lesson the hard way. Stop losses are a thing. A lot of people think it's easy and never put the time or the hard work into learning and honing their craft and just do it Willie Nillie. That's not me. If I go into something I am all in. I learn everything I can about it, I put the time and effort into it and I study it as much as I can. Then I test out what I learn, make mistakes, refine it, go back and test it out, make different mistakes, not the same ones, and continue until I make fewer and fewer mistakes. And I am a quick study in pretty much anything I do. I have good instincts with this tho...even from the first time I started I was able to see and identify things pretty quickly and while I made a lot of early mistakes, a lot of what I thought would happen did happen. I didn't have the full understanding of the market makers and the whales manipulate prices in crypto and how to detect it most times like I do now...crypto operates with different rules than the stock market does. But once you know those rules you can make money far more rapidly than with stocks. Quote

ISO 20022 is the future. Coinbase is already doing a ton of work to ensure and maintain compliance as well. I'm hoping XLM does well. I bought a bunch years ago after extensive research...yeah, no. I just liked the name. 1 Quote

Doc Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 I had some crypto stolen from me just the other day. I have no idea how it happened since I was on my secured home network and didn't fall for any phishing. I can see where it was transferred to but have no idea what to do next. Thankfully it wasn't a large amount. Quote

Here's my ALGO story/approach: Holding and buying more here and there. Plus, my main source of ALGOs isnt buying. It's mining through a few different projects, and staking. Even with the price way down, I'm still in a good spot and not in the red (yet). Mining and Staking are KEY to doing well in crypto. If you arent generating "free" coins, it's tough to get ahead. For example, I got in early and big on that PlanetWatch project I posted about earlier. ROI'ed on the equipment in the first 3 weeks. And have been generating free coins for 3 months (about 15 ALGO/day). Got into the new OCTORAND gaming project early, and it's paid off big time in just a couple weeks (I sold out of that one already). I'm not day-trading this stuff. Everything I do is a long term (3-5 years or more) plan. ALGO is pretty new on that scale. And I know that the crypto market is extremely volatile. ALGO is pretty much back to where it was in the beginning of last year when I first got in, and then saw a couple jumps to the $2.50 range. I might cash out a bunch if/when it gets back to $3. And will still leave a big pile of ALGOs in my wallet for the loooong term, just in case. Quote

I used to believe that, but honestly when your positions go down as much as they do when prices drop, it's better not to own any crypto and just trade future contracts. Short when it's going down, long when it's going up. Print money in either direction. Edited February 22, 2022 by Big Turk Quote

I discuss football on here 99% of the time. I discuss crypto on twitter 99% of the time. Didn't filter anything, it's a direct list of trades from Kucoin futures. I have no interest in managing anyone's money, nor do I care if they want to listen to what I am saying. Go put your money in bonds and get that safe 1% interest for all I care. I'm planning to leave my software engineering job by summer and trade futures full time. Far more profitable and a lot more fun. And I am f***ing phenomenal at it. If you don't like it, too bad. I'm not here to please you. You want the info that's how you get it. Or don't. No sweat off my back bro, you are the one asking me. This isn't Burger King, you don't get to have it your way. I hear you are a lawyer, anon. Probably like the dude from Better Call Saul. Edited February 22, 2022 by Big Turk Quote
