My experience with BTC.
Bought in, price dropped, bought in, price dropped, bought in, price dropped bought in price dropped. Ive seen one gain while holding coins I didnt have to get rid of to pay for the massive drops in exchange rate, and could get no sell orders queued because the btc billionaires started selling cheap the same moment. I dont not believe these bitcoin billionares I speak of are individuals who invested but are the same groups who manipulate the markets.
Daytrading has wasted my last 3 years, its amazing how much time we spend on 'hope' when we could just be doing something, producing something of value, offering a service, learning something new,etc. Trying to make money I didnt earn has been a wakeup,. Not bashing anyone,but this is worse than gambling, because families lose out when you cash in, not a casino. Every extra piece of pie is on that came off someone elses plate.
I will be 100% honest, I feel like BTC will never spike upwards again.
Im done. The only way I've broke even is rapid selling at dishonestly high increases for payment methods that scream "Minor buying drugs on Silk Road" (would else would pay 25% over?), now that fed has btc on the books, turns out theres a good chance they created it (Yes Dorian is the creator, care to acknowledge who he was working for at the time??) to create financial criminals out of average citizens, to play a role in the destruction of the dollar and help bring about new currency laws [which will make owning untrackable currency illegal], I dont need the IRS knocking on my door 10 years from now over some legal-financial technicality no current legal team would understand, but thats exactly what I see coming out of the whole ordeal. The United States government has shown us all that they criminalize income more than anything.
Bitcoin was created by the collective forces that desire to criminalize the un approved, un documented, private transfer of money. You will see a time in our lifes where it is illegal for even five dollars to trade hands without being recorded to a federal server.
