Started to dabble in crypto a few months ago but honestly, I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around it and understanding it. Any good informative sites out there that breaks it down “Barney Style” so a guy like myself can understand it?

My brother follows a couple crypto wiz kids but honestly I don’t trust them.
 
Hey Mike! I also just started getting into the stock market and crypto. It’s hard to rap your head around it, I just turned 20 and think if you can find a system that works you can make money doing it! I just also got my dad set up and trying to get him where he can retire… he’s 50 with no retirement but makes alot of money so I’ve been putting him in more risky stocks since he doesn’t have a bunch of time.

Crypto seems off and on. I got him some bitcoin at 39,000 and it jumped to 47,000 the next week. Now it’s down to 40,000. It seems so hot or miss.

My biggest advice in both the crypto and stock is to keep up on company’s and big names…. Elon musk is a big one.

I just bought a good amount of GGPI. Which is a stock that is supposed to merge with this company called polestar. They are a Electric vehicle company just like Tesla. They just sold a contract to Hertz for 65,000 vehicles. Polestar isn’t public to the stock market until they merge with GGPI which will happen in the next company months. Some sources say they can see a 91% increase in the stocks value if all pays out and the merge goes successfully. Might be something to look into.

I have been doing some research on option trading but that’s a whole nothing headache.

Hope you can find some sort of useful info from this. Btw I’m not a financial advisor just a young kid that likes to do research and loves making money

Crypto is all speculation so learning technical analysis is probably the best way to trade it. Remember that it takes a while to develop yourself into a consistently profitable trader! Almost everyone that tries will blow their account very quickly.

Also, try to follow up on the incoming cryptocurrency laws in big countries like the US. For example, last year, BTC prices fell down because of the crypto regulation act signed in the US. So if you are aware of it, you will be able to plan your actions accordingly. Besides trading, I would suggest you try crypto mining since today exist, many online platforms allow people to start mining without specific software. For example, you can visit this platform moonbitcoins.com.

I'm not an investor. It's too much like gambling. My risk tolerance is very low. I've missed out on a lot of opportunities because of this. My thoughts here probably are worth as much as the stocks I didn't buy.

Crypto is money. It's like buying Yen with USD. Money is like a stock. Buying Yen is like investing in China. But what is Bitcoin? What are you investing in?

Crypto only has value because people are trading it. It's only logical value, is that unlike USD, people can't just print more on a whim causing inflation. Beyond that, it has no asset to back it up. USD might have sold the gold, but we have a military, land, product, etc. Something backs the USD. Nothing backs BitCoin.

Stock values are based on their PE ratio. Well, fundamentally they are anyway. Currency is based on GDP, fundamentally anyway. What is crypto value based on?

Your question is the answer to Crypto. Crypto has no inherent value. It's a bunch of speculation of people buying it because they think that someone will buy it from them for more money.

Tesla has value because it makes cars, sells cars and makes money. Granted, when it's PE ratio peaked at 1:1,100, that means you'd have to own the stock for 1,100 years for the company to generate enough money in sales to justify the price you paid for the stock. (https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/TSLA/tesla/pe-ratio). It makes no wonder why Tesla is crashing now.

The wiz kids make money because they pump and dump. They buy the crypto, the price goes up, they tell you to buy the crypto, the price goes up more, they sell the crypto, take your money, oh well, you just haven't learned the tricks yet.

That’s what I figured out a few months ago after it happened to me a couple times. These crypto’whales’ do a video pumping up a certain crypto, we buy and then the value plummets. They made a ton of money though.

I invested a couple grand and it’s only worth 1/2 of that right now. It’s holding but as soon as it comes up some more I’m cashing out.

The value comes from the trading and value of the projects that it is paired with for markets. There are tons of good companies and projects and people working in that space with real value who have their tokens pegged back to Bitcoin.

My father in law has made a few hundred thousand day trading penny stocks.....you HAVE to watch it a few times a day EVERY day. There are some sure bet stocks and ways to make quick cash. I've lost a bit in the last few years but I knew it was a gamble. I find it's much more fun to go to the casino and gamble instead!

It's great that you're interested in crypto! Understanding it can be challenging, but there are helpful resources out there. Check out websites like CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, and Investopedia for beginner-friendly explanations.

Also, you can learn a lot from free e-books about trading on earnforex.com. They break down crypto concepts simply, so you can grasp the basics. Good luck!
 
To me, crypto is just another way to get people away from using cash which is the end goal for the elites and their new world order. A completely cashless society and digital monetary system. Once the economy crashes and the dollar plummets, the answer they'll tell us will be a central bank digital currency. Everything currently being used as money including crypto will be transferred to the cbdcs. I'm sure the government will come up with stipulations in order to participate in their cbdc as well. Sounds good in theory, bit in reality, it's the worst thing we as a society could want. China is already on with this.
