Great points.
People tend to forget the saying Easy Come Easy Go. The long term is where it is at and a high-risk investment to bail you out of whatever is making you desperate for huge short term games is like doubling down on a bad hand.
I love how crypto is not only putting the gains straight into the hands of the individual, but encouraging each to learn and build a base of knowledge. Trusting rich people/institutions to buy the right stock on your behalf and then pay them all the profits in commission is a fool's game.
Power to the people and leveraging Crypto not only for quick profit, but longer term profit due to building your individual knowledge.
Stock markets are a mugs game at our level. You are only making money for other people but crypto let's us take the risks and make the profits or losses but at least it is on us.
You can gamble on the bull run now but when it's over a lot of those tokens do nothing and people will be left holding the bag. Hive might not be getting pumped but in two years I will have a lot more and it will still have a reason to exist.
There are great projects here and I am happy to stake and hold. I want to be here when it pumps in 5 years time to $100 and backs an eco system with 1000 communities.
Sure I can make a few grand backing doge but if you get caught it could lose 99% in a week.
Even the knowledge of crypto that you gain here is priceless. So many of the coins doing well now have been spoken about here all year for anybody paying attention.
