Crypto or not Crypto ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป

Guys, Iโ€™ve been buying selling crypto since 2016 when BTC was 500ish, never hold more than a month or so and sold off for meagre profits. Now it looks like whole world is moving towards Crypto in one or other way so i donโ€™t want to be that loser anymore. Can you suggest an investment strategy, i am planning to start putting 1000bucks/month equally in BTC, ETH? no matter what, from every payroll just straight to the Coinbase account... #personalfinance #investments #crypto

Why are you asking Blind if youโ€™ve been in it since 2016? Youโ€™re a veteran compared to the typical Blind demographic.

i am just not sure too many stories in the office people talk, talk and talk about how they put $$$ and paid back their mortgage or bought a new home. For me i just bought it and whenever i had like 20% i am out, now thats way far and i am not sure if its wise to start putting $ now?

Do it! Maybe diversify a bit with a few of the top alt coins. Itโ€™s feeling closer to mainstream now for the tech crowd but itโ€™s definitely early in terms of accessibility to the general population.

I always buy high volatile "stocks" at all time highs. Should've invested in GME @ 450, or Tesla a couple weeks ago.

TD Ameritrade TrueLove OP Mar 19, 2021

yeah that GME quadrupled my money in a month sweet

Step 1: don't use coinbase, they charge exorbitant fees. Imagine a broker that charges $50 for every $10k transaction (before the spread)? Even in pre-RH days brokers charge $5/transaction. Coinbase's 0.5% fee is pure robbery. And if you use the instant buy feature the fee+spread is probably 1-2%.

So what should one use?

Citadel XCRO Mar 20, 2021

Google around, lots of cheaper exchanges, Binance, BTSE, CEX, Gemini etc.

Swan Bitcoin or okcoin

Agree. Swan Bitcoin is great. Daily stacking and lowest fees

Indeed 900 Apr 10, 2021

But when you buy the price is few hundred dollars per BTC higher than coinbase or other places

Why not BlockFi?

Those fees will eat into your returns

What fees? I do recurring trades and there are no fees

If you just DCA and hodl, rather than buy/sell over the years, your gains would have likely been much higher and avoided yearly capital gains. Maybe you should go back and run the numbers.

TD Ameritrade TrueLove OP Mar 20, 2021

you are right, canโ€™t roll back the past, DCA sounds good to me. God i bought at 500 bucks too :-(

Google bitcoin Mar 20, 2021

No sweat. I did early on too. Using to buy junk crap at $300. Lesson learned, now I just stack.

You need an option for DCA daily or weekly.

TD Ameritrade TrueLove OP Mar 20, 2021

yeah and whatโ€™s the cheapest alternative for the same?

DoorDash Bh34567A Mar 20, 2021

Allocate at least 30% of your portfolio to Basic Attention Token. Not joking
