Some companies grow their dividends and this causes the price to grow. It's said that companies can manipulate their numbers to show increased earnings but you have trouble manipulating a cash dividend. You have to ask yourself why are you investing? Trading?

So stable coins meet the criteria of being a medium of exchange and a store of at least short term value. I take it they don't need the trusted third party and can be transfered peer to peer. (I hold USDT in my wallet and can transfer them to you without going through a bank) The only drawback...

Is this done privately or thru an exchange?

Large drawdowns would be a symtom of poor risk control. Why are you having large drawdowns? Large swings in your favor are why you trade.

I would think Islamic Finance would work against bitcoin. Isn't there the concept of gharar. In a financial context, gharar refers to the ambiguity and deception that come from the sale of items whose existence is uncertain. Bitcoin is like a unicorn, people swear that they are out there, but no...

I think in understand stable coins; they are basically US dollars. Who is using them and is their use widespread? When you refer to unbankable countries are these stable coins used as a medium of exchange or just as a store of value?

Sounds like whatever it is you are doing is working out for you. If you reinvested 40k USDT which I assume is equivilant to 40k US Dollars. It seem to me that you have made quite a bit more than you have by buying and holding. I guess it depends on how you spin it. Anyway I'm still waiting...

I didn't have to. I managed to become wealthy by being disciplined and not holding losers.

No in 2000 I was an idiot buy and holder. I learned my lesson. Don't believe anything you hear. Don't trust anybody. Price doesn't lie to you!!

Kinda sounds like crypto, don't it!

I based it on my own trading experience which is slightly positive for 2022. Mostly cash but a few stocks that have made gains. I thought that your trading was that you wanted to put some money to work and figured that trading was a better way than buying and holding. Has to be some reason you...

I challenge you to explain that in terms a grade 3 could understand. :)

The discussion starts at post 69 One year later. I made 2 small trades and got stopped out both times. Maybe down 1K So as a trader my account value would be $243K An account with 5 BTC is worth 88k!! And the guy who wanted to bet that buy and hold out performed trading, is day trading crypto...
