#CryptoWisdom from #Crypto OGs (Original Gangsters)

A concise guide

1. Start Small, Learn Big
Brock Pierce advises beginners to view initial investments as self-investments. As holdings grow, understanding hodling (HODL = Hold On for Dear Life, refers to the strategy of not selling digital assets, even amid extreme price changes in the market) and crypto basics becomes crucial. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
2.  Self-Custody Security
   "Not your keys, not your coins" is a vital mantra. Itai Avneri stresses self-custody, emphasizing holding assets securely. Tim Draper adds that #BTC on Ledger (BOL) is the safest personal money.
3.  Diversify and Learn
  Pierce advocates diversification, urging advanced users to explore yield farming and #DeFi Andrew Latham stresses diversification across asset classes for surviving market downturns.
4.  High-Conviction Ethereum
   Lakov Levin leans on #ETH considering it the foundation for the financial evolution. Staking Ethereum provides a 5% APR in ETH, presenting a unique financial opportunity.
5.  Stop Loss Discipline
   Pierce suggests using stop losses in market downturns. Levin emphasizes discipline when using stop losses, recommending a break after a stop-loss event.
6.  Options Trading Sophistication
   Options trading, based on the Black-Scholes model, hedges against extreme volatility. Pierce advises caution, as leverage can lead to wealth demise if not used skillfully.
7.  Avoiding Scams
   Roger Ying of Crytolock.ai emphasizes education on preventing crypto breaches and detecting illicit transactions. Immediate notification of unintended transactions can prevent losses.
8.  Hodling Wisdom
   Pierce recommends cold storage using hardware wallets for safe hodling.
9.  Patience and Conviction
   Hodling requires patience and conviction. Andrew Latham advises investing in cryptocurrencies with long-term potential and regularly reviewing holdings.

In the dynamic crypto landscape, these insights serve as a compass, helping you navigate volatility wisely.

Bitcoin's Rollercoaster: Stalled at $38K, Altcoins Find Stability

#BTC 's price has hit a plateau, hovering just below $38,000, after a week of volatility fueled by the Binance-US authorities saga. The recent settlement deal and the departure of Binance's CEO, #changpengzhao triggered a dip to $36,600, followed by a rapid recovery to an 18-month high of $38,500. However, the momentum was short-lived, leading to a retracement back to the $38,000 range.
Despite the market cap remaining at $740 billion and bitcoin's dominance at 51.3%, altcoins have experienced a more stabilized period. Daily fluctuations show minor losses for XRP, BNB, SOL, and DOGE, while ETH, ADA, AVAX, MATIC, and DOT see marginal gains. Notably, Chainlink and Tron stand out with around a 3% spike.
In the weekly landscape, BLUR emerges as the top gainer with a remarkable 70% surge, reaching $0.6. Following closely are STEPN (34%), ApeCoin (30%), MINA (30%), and Klaytn (27%). The overall crypto market cap has seen a slight increase, nearing $1.450 trillion on CMC. As the crypto journey continues, the community awaits the next chapter in the market's unpredictable narrative. #Bitcoin2024 #CryptoMarketPredictions #altcoins $BTC $BLUR $SHIB
