@der_Don and 5-10 years, BTC will continue to outperform in the long term, gold is also good don't get me wrong, just find it cunning what the anti-BTC people always say and want to provoke a bit 🤠🥸

@der_Don Crypto simply has zero content.
After all, gold and silver are commodities

@Steven83 watch and stay on the sidelines... some don't want to understand, it's like those who said "this YouTube is nothing, tv will stay nr1 forever." Germans are just always late when it comes to accepting new technologies

@Investingyoung I don't think much of crypto and it will stay that way.
It's a bit like a casino for me.

In my opinion, crypto fans are getting carried away.

@Steven83 only time will tell, so the world's big financial institutions like $BLK are putting money into technology for a reason. For example, the stock exchange system is outdated, tokenization is due for efficient markets

@Steven83 of course 90% of altcoins are garbage, but there are real innovations, especially with things like $BTC $ETH $SOL $XRP etc.

@Investingyoung Anyone who is convinced that it will work out can do it 👍

I don't begrudge anyone the profit they make, regardless of the asset class.

But crypto doesn't suit me, which is why I stay away from it 😊

Bitcoin will continue to outperform all markets... Looking forward to the next few months... And as long as BTC weakens, DCA will be bought... Same with some altcoins... Crypto will rise and everyone will be late... as always 🎉🚀🤑🔥

For all those who do not understand BTC, but perhaps want to understand it.

S&P is the safest investment of all.

The difference is that there was an understandable bubble due to the fear of a weak dollar. Now the fear is gone, just as unfounded as the emergence of the fear that the bubble would burst.
So there are reasons. I never understood it with Bitcoin. I believe that if things go well, Bitcoin will soon reach 6 figures again. But I still won't invest. "Don't invest in things you don't understand" is a lesson I learned in 2009.
My perhaps unfounded concern is that my wallet would not be secure. Neither against hackers and quantum computers nor against "I forgot my password"

@stocker_1862 legitimate fears, but you shouldn't learn something just because you don't understand it, don't you think?

@stocker_1862 there are so many books and videos on the internet about BTC ... don't understand? That's no excuse... So let's go!

As long as I'm not prepared to have my salary paid out in Bitcoin. Or to sell an apartment in 3 years for a fixed amount of Bitcoin, it's too volatile for me. But good luck to you.
