My money finally cleared, I'm curious to know what you guys would do at this moment if you were in my shoes.
Buy BTC now, don't take any advice from this forum, don't bother trying to draw lines on charts, don't day trade, don't react if the price swings rapidly in either direction, return in a couple of years from now to find yourself very well off.
I know, it's just so simple & effective to forget about it & hodl for years.

..But,
I don't have years. I already spent 9 years (I'm still in 20's so it's mostly fine) losing money to a not-so-expensive-but-still 'variable-rate' learn-the-hard-way tuition fee. I need to make each slice of $$ within
days, maybe weeks at most, not months nor years. And I'm not the only one. It's just difficult, not impossible. Some are making it.
And +, there's always that half of my capital that's sitting in low-priced alts for long-term. That's a sufficient hedge against any trading loss.
From what little I know, it is almost NEVER a good thing to be desperate or in a hurry when making any kind of investment, whether long or short-term..
However, I am sure that it works for the rare lucky individual(s)... but it is NOT really a reliable and/or repeatable style....
And, even if that whimsical method is your style, you ultimately, need to be lucky in your picks... with volatile assets, and alts seem to be much more volatile than bitcoin... well in any event, it seems that you need to do your own homework b/c chances are also pretty slim that anyone on a quasi-public forum is going to give you reliable information..... .though you are likely looking for leads in which you can get in on the ground floor for a quick buck...
