Reward:risk much lower
Odds much much lower. 4.5 Trillion are you serious? Finding 300 billion is much much so much easier than finding 4.5 trillion.
The economy is crazy high into the debt cycle and hedge funds are getting destroyed, no way they can borrow moar money to throw into crypto anytime soon.
These simple undeniable facts mean putting money into Bitcoin today is far less interesing than putting money into it at the bottom in 2015.
Some interesting facts:
The whole US (+ Can) stock market is obviously the biggest, and is valued at almost 35 Trillion USD.
The whole Europe stock market is somewhere around 20-25 Trillion USD.
The whole Asian stock market is valued at about 30-35 Trillion USD.
That is over 90% of the total for the world.
The grand total is about 100 Trillion.
All the people excited about what has happened in the past, I am pretty sure they are clueless about this.
I am not even saying it's bad or good.
Just the UNDENIABLE fact that today compared to 3 years ago, the reward is far lower compared to the risk.
There has to be much much much more money sent into crypto to go up as much and the RR is lower.
This cannot be argued.
Also, noobs greatest mistake is wanting a "sure thing". They want a nobrain mecanical trading system, they want and "expert" to tell them what trade to take and if the winrate is 70% they expect to get 7 wins and 3 losses out of any batch of 10.
I'll pass on how idiotic this is.
But the funny thing, is in history, each time amateurs or unsophisticated investors went for a "sure thing" they lost their pants.
"Oh the economy is doing great I will mortgage my house I bought on a 25 years credit and borrow more money to invest".
Want to know a cheat way to make money in real estate?
Save up 10.000$. Buy a house for 100.000 on credit with a payment of 500/month over 250 months (25% interest - oh wait the interest rates are at their lowest since 1929 so it's way less than that)
"The average rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage fell to 3.66 percent this week, according to Freddie Mac's weekly mortgage market survey. That's the lowest rate since May 2013. Interest rates, however, should not be the primary factor that determines when you purchase a home."
So you will pay 500/month over a period of 210 months let's say (17 years).
HERE IS THE CATCH. YOU RENT THE PLACE FOR 500/MONTH. THE PEOPLE YOU ARE RENTING TOO PAY FOR THE PLACE. YOU JUST GOT A HOUSE FOR FREE.
OH, BUT IT GETS BETTER. NOW YOU HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 500$ MONTHLY INCOME TO COUNTER THE EXPENSE. SO YOU ACTUALLY GET TO BORROW A LITTLE BIT MORE SINCE YOU CAN REPAY THE BANK ON PAPER. SO YOU BORROW MORE AND BUY ANOTHER. HEY, YOU CAN KEEP DOING THIS, WHY WOULD YOU NOT? THE INTEREST RATES ARE NEAR 0! Until the whole system collapses...
If the interest rates are at 0 you basically get free money... Great way to boost the economy, but once it is up and running the Fed have to act really fast and push the interest rates up to prevent a gigantic recession. By the way, the Fed were created a little after 1929.
Ah by the way, the FED:
"The Fed has telegraphed a clear intention to begin unwinding a key policy tool deployed during the Great Recession as it seeks to reduce the size of its $4.5 trillion balance sheet, now some five times larger than its pre-crisis total. "
They have so much assets because they did this "quantitative easing" to save the day.
Quantitative easing, also known as large-scale asset purchases, is an expansionary monetary policy whereby a central bank buys predetermined amounts of government bonds or other financial assets in order to stimulate the economy and increase liquidity.
Oh they are not going to buy crypto's with all that money lol, trust me.
Also, consider the fact that during crysis people run to safe havens, not speculative assests, but that is not a 100% fact like the 3 I posted at the start of this idea.
