CRYPTO CRATOS

CRYPTO CRATOS

Hummm, in this world, when people start to do amazing things, it stretches humanity and It does not like to be stretched. Well, at least when the stretch is too big and comes too fast. The truth is, changes in our "epoca" are going light fast.

Science and global communication are in an exponential - elbow curve - growth and it is just the beginning.

Ether you tighten your belts, or you must learn how to fly...
As usual, the establishment rather brace itself. Hence, they choose intrigues first and regulations second.

Folks like us, assuming there are a lot of like-minded individual in Steemit, enjoy learning how to fly.

Like Icarus, we can get burnt, but unlike him we do not die, we learn and keep flying.
Ideally of course and I like to believe, most of the times. (Smile)

Okay so this is it:
the crypto space and particularly Blockchain tech is a true 21 century revolution. It will mark history and be remembered as the beginning or a new "industrial" age.

But, once again, it is going too fast. That is the characteristics of any revolution. Another characteristic is that power and money tends to change hands. That is what those who have the upper hand don't want. So, they resist it until they lose or until they can jump on the other side. That is why timing is crucial in these types of configuration. Intrigues first, regulations second, de quibus supra.

So, there are gigantic excessive crashes.

Bitcoin is the new guru and all the other smaller new masters are falling with it right now.
It does not make any sense, but collective decisions are famous or infamous for going against common sense.

Bitcoin collapse had to happen, a correction was due. Nevertheless, its fall could be somewhat exaggerated. Even though its price was 5400$ in November 12th just about 80 days ago! It is still way up from what it was a year ago. Actually, 700% up as I am writing (7000$ now). However, some crypto tech like Ethereum have little reasons to go down as much as bitcoin but they do. All of them.

Crowd psychology it is.

These mass movements should be ignored, and one must keep cool and stay the course. Blockchain is not going to die.

Great technologic advances lead by great teams will raise value to unprecedented levels.

I do not trust BITCOIN future as I do Ethereum, EOS, NEO, and the like.
Even though bitcoin could surprise me as it has the privilege of being the first to be publicly known.

I believe there is a way to apply Value Investing premises to the blockchain tech investing. That is: buying significant amount of what is a real business or value at an undervalued price, do not care about the masses, the news and the ups and down. Care about underlying value at a discount. Ignore the outer noise. No matter how loud.

Please do not invest your life saving, invest what you can comfortably lose without it affecting your life or the one of your family. We make mistakes and we are better off not gaining than loosing. However, in my opinion losing to learn a good lesson is acceptable. Its like school hahah!

So, what now?

Great opportunities are here, I hope you have some power dry.

If you decide to invest, buy what you value don't buy something you don't like.
Buy only what has value.

DANGER: No margin buys, just hold what you bought. Margin buys will, more often than not and sooner or later, eat all of your profit, if any, and then your entire capital! It is a greed amplifier machine, an enticement for exchanges to try price manipulation and a sad reality check which, as the tied goes out, shows who was swimming naked. Don't do it.

It's been a real pleasure to write you, dear readers.

A la prochaine.
