The stages of a crypto "investor"

Stage 0: Reluctance
>"Crypto's a fucking scam. Lmao if you actually buy that shit"

Stage 1: Bitcoin
>"Hmmm okay maybe I'll buy some Bitcoin after all."

Stage 2: Top 10 Alts
>"Woah, coins like ETH and LTC have way more room to grow and have a stable following. Fuck BTC, it's a dying old piece of shit anyway."

Stage 3: Tokens
>"Holy shit, tokens like OMG and VEN are going to literally change the world. Fuck ETH and LTC."

Stage 4: Low Cap and ICOs
>"At this point, I understand these markets. OMG and VEN are way too overvalued. I'm going all in on ELA and JNT. Way more room to grow there."

Stage 5: Understanding
>"Wait a second, most of these coins and tokens are extremely centralized and sensitive to whether the company can even procure business. Are they still even crypto? I guess I'll just hold. I mean, I'm diversified enough I suppose."

Stage 6: Peak Knowledge
>"These tokens and centralized coins defeat the purpose and are literal gambling. Decentralized currencies and commodities like BTC, XMR, VTC, and SUMO are the true game changers. Everything else is glorified stock in shitty start-ups."

Based on popular shilling, I would wager that the majority of Veeky Forums is still in Stage 3 and 4, with some of you passing into Stage 5.

Nah,

Stage 1
>wow bitcoin sounds cool I’ll get some
Stage 2
>ethereum sounds better than bitcoin I’ll buy that instead
Stage 3
>ethereum has won crypto no other coin can even compete I will hodl ETH

Sounds like you're still in Stage 2, bud. Try your best to leapfrog over 3 and 4 as best you can.

>ven
>changing the world

You almost had it with this post, if only you didn’t mention a couple of those shitcoins..

If you couldn't grasp the irony there I don't know what to tell you. Basically every quote outside of 6 and 7's is made to mock those trapped in earlier stages.

The majority of biz(including me) needs to "gamble" on shitcoins to make it.

Just putting it into BTC wont cut it.

You don't need to go all in on BTC. There's 20+ coins of varying market caps that offer decentralized benefits, and that number is growing every year. One of the coins I mentioned isn't even at 10m market cap. DYOR homo. You can make sick returns without gambling on faggot developers.

Kys newfag

lol this thread is so painfully obviously a subtle SUMO shill thread

You forgot stage 7

>Wow, decentralization is a fucking meme, and every one of these currencies is market manipulated by early backers! I should follow market trends and buy what normies buy regardless of fundementals just to catch the waves and get the fuck out while I can!

>SUMO
My nigga

>follow market trends

Enjoy those bags.

come see me at the end of the year when nano replaces LTC, and TRX is legit normie bucks for gamers

>nano replaces LTC

Good fucking lord lmao

Stage 7: Realizing crypto is all about flavor of the week and riding new coins speculative hype for gains to increase your sats

Stage 8: MY LINKY STAY SUPER STINKY

kek

I only ever bought ICO tokens and centralised shitcoins like xrp for the pump. Sold most of them not at ath but always at a large profit. Most of the market is a scam.

Sumokoon is trash when XSPEC exists

holy shit there's a wikipedia page for this
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_the_needful
>"Do the needful" is an expression which means “do that which is needed,” with the respectful implication that the other party is trusted to understand what needs doing without being given detailed instruction. The phrase is common in Indian English as well as in many African countries such as Kenya

Only XMR and SUMO have actual privacy.

>VTC
>SUMO

How heavy are your bags user?

P.s I’m in stage 17:
>A decentralised currency can only truly succeed if it fulfills three prerequisites thus making it better than any fiat or security: total anonymity/fungibility for transactions, a recognisable brand name and community strong enough to get good devs, a proven track record and existing liquidity/fiat pairing. XMR is the ONLY true cryptocurrency of the future.

Don't act like Monero started off with the last two requirements. However, we mostly agree on your criteria, and you line up with Stage 6 better than you think. VTC and SUMO are small positions.

Those are staking wallets which will make your wallets public. Everything else is still private (transactions).

That's me except i thought bitcoin was gay from the start
Missed out on bitcoin, but got in eth at $30

>Staking

Oh yes, another reason to avoid XSPEC. You do realize how inherently flawed the logic of asking stakers to hold currency is, right? PoW is messy but has yet to be usurped in terms of incentives.

Private staking in the works

I'm tired of convincing you. This will be 10$+ EOY

you missed Stage 7: all in LINK

>VTC
>SUMO
just lol. the latter is some no-name fork with a dev pre-mine. the definition of a scamcoin.

Staking in general is a flawed economic model. The only thing it incentives is market illiquidity.
