Are you tempted to ride the bubble? Are you made of leather and steel? Are you ok with losing money? Then read on!

Bubbles bubbles nothing but troubles you often heard Grandma say. Well what did she know? Back in the box with you Grandma!

What is a bubble when we talk about crypto? A crypto bubble is when the price of a coin or coins is massively on the rise. You may have noticed that there is currently a massive alt coin bubble led in chief by The Arch Felon, Bitcoin. Can nothing stop the mighty bitcoin?

Well yes. It is a rare thing that can keep on rising forever and eventually there will be a...

No, not the naughty skelp on the derriere you might be hoping for from a strict Aunty but instead the kind that has you blinking back stinging tears of horror as you watch your portfolio do its best to imitate a particularly dead duck.

On the subject of Bubbles I find myself taking two tacks. These are risky so I will state that you should not follow the advice of a fool when gambling, oops, I mean trading with Alt Coins. And yes the fool I am potentially referring to is me.

The last thing any of us want is for you to be finding yourself losing your pants to a feller named Bob with a steely glint in his eye as he tells you to undress.

Two important things for me when buying during a bubble are price (in satoshis) and volume.

Oh yes. The experts love to talk about the volume. To a new trader this seems mysterious but is simply how much money is selling or buying.

First, is the price as cheap as chips? I.e a few hundred or less satoshi? Yes? Move onto the next step.

Is the volume at least 500K? in btc? Yes?

Fire in! Load er up. Get yourself a good big dod of these cheap cheap coins! For the princely sum of ten to twenty dollars you can pick up many thousands of these coins. This is what I have done to great effect but again I must state. Do not do this if you are averse to risk! This is a bubble. Anything can happen!

Another tip! Try not to buy when something is pumping. This is really risky and you often find that you invest and then boof! The buying stops as if by magic and you find yourself staring at long red candles into the night before retiring to bed and weeping softly into your pillow.

What you are hoping for with these little frittery coins is that they will go through a pump, which in this current bubble has been happening frequently. Often the key point here is that if they pump then you should ready to dump once it looks like the trend is reversing. So buy your coins and watch, watch carefully.

You have to be prepared. They might never pump. Keep in mind that this, by all accounts is a crypto bubble. It is liable to pop and the price of everything could plummet. So only gamble, I mean trade. Oh sod it, I mean gamble with what you can afford to lose!

Happy bubble riding!!!

Sort:  

I rode Ripple before it went cripple, I ride Ethereum towards delirium, I use Dash to transfer cash, and I hodl Steem, because a man must dream ...

Holy flip of the banana! You are a savant. Gifted I say. Let you not ever speak never in verse! Hold on I double negatived myself into a bind. I dont know if that works! :O)

I got in early so if there is a correction I'm still good. I believe in Crypto so I'm riding this thing until the very end! If I had to get in big "now", well it seems frothy, but i believe you will come out at the end of the year regardless.

I got in early too. I still hold a bit because I too am gonna ride the wave till it crashes me into the shore spluttering up my salty end!

Lol, same here brotha, to the salty end!

Never troubles with little bubbles!

This post is in a bubble.

I think it's popped

I was a stock broker through the dot com bubble....they keep getting bigger and bigger till they BAM lol. The whole time reminded me of the childrens game of musical chairs!

That's a very good analogy! Everyone loves the up but the downs always seem to catch them out every time. You will probably be glad you ain't in that game now?

Oh I'm still in the game, just personally not professionally. I don't run public money now :)

Yah, you gotta keep your hand in ;0)

I think we'll see a far bigger ridiculousness compared to the dot com bubble. It's just a very different time now with different technologies in place.

You have explained in 1000 words or less the entire concept of investing. This can apply to stock (shares) or Cryptocurrency (coins). I learned more from your article in two minutes than I could have learned studying economics at Harvard for four years!

You are truly too kind! Thank you!

Ahahhaahhahah!! Isn't that always a bonus!!! Top notch!

Thanks!! Time to HODL with the rest!!

Sweet sweet hodling!! Flip, sounds like inspiration for a song!!

Like a lullaby? hahaha

Or a right good country number!! I can hear the twanging slide guitars in my head!

Gotta weave in beer and tractors!

It wouldnt be a good ole song without it!!

Good view of the phenomenon! Everyone is so excited now about crypto. I just started doing my very first trades on bittrex and I am learning lessons already after just a couple of days into it. Risky stuff though!

Oh it is so risky! I am glad you are dipping your toes in though. It can be quite thrilling and at first there is absolutely nothing wrong with really small trades to get a feel for it!

That's what I'm thinking. Plus the only money I put in are the ones I got for my posts on here in SBD so I am comfortable losing that for the lesson and the ride really. Gives me something to do even though it is only like 0.1 BTC worth of coins, I can still get the hang of it just fine. I am quite amazed I got that in a week though.

That is truly the best bit isn't it! Steemit is inspiring/creating a generation of crypto traders! I know that one of the reasons touted behind steemit was to get more people involved in crypto and it really is! When its money you have earned from posting its so much easier to speculate/gamble/invest wisely ;O)

Really does feel that way...but it works, as you never "held in in your hands" in the first place anyways. Similar to gambling in some ways but different in the way that you can influence the outcome by making quick informed decisions. Takes a lot of time and effort to keep up with it all. I guess if you play with big sums it ends up being like a job basically.

I think if you were dealing in big sums as you say you would go demented unless you did treat it as your job!

It does help if its not money you have held in the hand yet, oh yes

Ah...volatile stuff! :)

I am not a gambler unless its on bingo but then I only loose £10 lol

10 pounds is all you need!! :0)

I do win now and again

Thats all that matters! :O)

Very true :)

Put some duct tape around the bubble. It will hold on longer. Party on!!!😎

Duct tape works on everything! Steem on! :OD

Awesome as always dude.

Lol, Cheers man!
