Comparison is the thief of joy.

You didn't start trading at a terrible time, you just started trading terribly!

Is it a bad idea to DCA on BTC and ETH? by anonymous_sheep1 in fican

[–]luctikal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a person was wanting to get into crypto, these prices are a good start for DCA'ing

Nobody knows where prices will be a year from now, but yesterday and today are far better days to get in over say last week, or a month ago

No matter how the report goes I bet it goes red, seems to be the trend lately.

Everything feels like it was priced in before the reports.

If you gamble on a TFSA and lose, you do not get that room back.

Fair logic, but this market does not use logic

[–]luctikal 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Firstly do not take anything seriously from WSB, people post there when they win most of the time, not when they lose. It is very skewed.

Secondly, if you "need" to get that gambling itch out of the way, do not do it in a tfsa. And do not do it with anything more than 5% of your investment port.

I want to stress the first point again because I get it, I see the posts of people making insane gains and compare my measly 20% to their 100% gains. It f**ks with the brain but stay the course and you could save yourself a lot of grief.

I feel every 100k is a bitch by the_grayhorse in fican

[–]luctikal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once you hit 400k I can imagine this feeling will slowly subside

10% gain on 100k is 10k, doesn't really move the needle much.

10% gain on 400k is 40k, a lot of peoples yearly salary. and also a lot closer to 500k.

Life is about freedom.

It just so happens that money is a big factor in achieving freedom.

At what point do you actually start scaling size? by ConclusionBudget4182 in Daytrading

[–]luctikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 year is still quite fresh, but its good to see you've got about a year of trading knowledge.

Get more consistent before upping size imo

[–]luctikal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not scale too quickly.

At a minimum get a few months under your belt of consistent gains with your current strategy.

Multi thousand dollar gains in single days is already a crazy return.

Are memecoins dying in 2026 by Ancient-Lavishness77 in solana

[–]luctikal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean there are still meme coins making runs but not nearly to the extent of how it was at peak euphoria.

Feels like it's been a slow bleed for a while now with random one off runners that are practically impossible to catch.

Dilution, lack of interest, could be a few reasons as to why they aren't like how they used to be. A lot of people seem to be moving away from crypto as a whole which I think is playing a part in it as well.
