Just glanced at some of the trades in my Order history on Bittrex...the ones that crushed me the most. Every single one of them, every single one, have one thing in common - day trade.
Every single loss was made chasing some pump or waiting for the pump to start again and denying the freefall. Every single deathblow to my portfolio was made not when I was away for 25 years in cryogenic sleep in my fridge, but when I was in front of my computer glued to the monitor trying to will the chart to go up and waiting every second to give me some 100% pump green dildo candle.
Well I'm sure I'm not the only one, there has to be at least one user as retarded as me - don't do it. Fuck daytrade, fuck watching the charts, hell even fuck Blockfolio. Fuck it.
I just realized that had I left one coin (doesn't matter which one, I don't want this to turn into coin meme fest) on my bittrex for 20 days, today I would be slightly more than double up.
And to make matters worse, before I bought that coin, I daytraded one piece of shit, won, won, won - got cocky - blew it all. So if I had any brains, the day trade gamble and going into this particular coin few days later, on this day I would have probably 200% more in my portfolio.
But I don't. I degen'd out and tried to catch the bus. This crypto shit doesn't work like that. Even the TA folks aren't safe, but they at least know how to read the market signals, to some degree, despite all of this being driven by emotional clueless morons (me) and whales (probably as emotional and clueless but with ridiculous bank).
Don't daytrade user. Don't. In my order history there aren't many misses and my "research" would be some common sense reading, scoping the net for info and I guess a hunch, and all the coins I had...were good ones. I sold them on daytrades and fucked up.
Don't do it. Buy something promising and hold, ld, not dl like some degen faggot.
