I’m starting to think this whole “skillful trading” thing is a myth—charts, indicators, “alpha” whispers… it all feels like smoke and mirrors. One minute you’re convinced your TA is bulletproof, the next you’re underwater because some pump-and-dump bot jacked the price. Feels like half the volumes are bots and the other half are FOMO maniacs hitting “buy” on whatever ticker looks shiny.
So get this—I stumbled on a tool called randombag that literally picks you a random basket of tokens from a curated trend list and buys them for you with one click. No research, no DD, no strategy—just pure randomness. And some users swear it actually outperforms their painstaking analysis but who knows if it also smoke.
Makes me wonder: in a market this rigged and noisy, is randomness the ultimate hedge? Has anyone here ever tried a dartboard approach—just throwing capital at random coins—and come out ahead? Or are we all fools chasing unicorns while a monkey with a dart could do just as well? Keen to hear your war stories or data if you’ve tried pure chance over “skill.”
This might sound more like a cliche but its something I have experienced it myself over the years.
I have been here almost for a decade now and with my experience I can say that HODL is the ultimate strategy to make massive gains.
Trading altcoins is the easiest way to lose money. Buy bitcoin and maximum one or two altcoins divide the porfolio as 50% bitcoin and 25% in both the altcoins.
If you bought just one altcoin then go 70% bitcoin and 30% altcoin and then just freaking hold it for years.
