returns of 25% is what you should expect kinda like the Vanguard Indexes and such 
Why should you expect a return of 25% when you canât even say why you selected these in the first place?

That was sarcasm⌠Lmao. Look up staking and conduct your own research.
Welcome to crypto.
âBuy crypto x because itâs down 20% since I bought it and I need moneyâ
good job with that PPAY, easily to 1-2$, but if it survives this 2022.

where is a good place to research crypto
I think you are referring to finding crypto coins/altcoins?
This video by Coin Bureau could help.
Coingecko is something I use a lot for crypto prices, finding altcoins, seeing different crypto categories. Coinmarketcap is popular too.
Condolences to everyone who invested in Terra. In my 6 years of time in crypto I have never seen a project with so much capital, hype and investors flame out so suddenly.

There has not been much activity in this thread.
With crypto world there have been a few companies that are not operational as the price of Bitcoin & cryptos went down around two months ago. Those companies being Celsius Network & Voyager along with a few others.
Today (July 20) there is a bit of a price pump in Bitcoin and crypto along with this Tesla & Bitcoin news.

Thanks. Interesting article⌠SO the crypto frenzie is dead? Should we only focus on regular stocks and forex?
I pity the people who treat crypto like a fad. Treat crypto like a stock investment, itâs only idiots who are looking for a get rich quick scheme.
I would be leery of buying anything until the Fed pivots. Crypto - like almost all asset classes - is trading in concert with the overall market. Forget what the main stream media is saying - theyâre lying or hiding reality. The Macro picture is very challenging. The housing market will be the first domino.

Crypto frenzy is not around. Sinusoid put some good details.
Dollar index being high and interest rates rising hurts cryptos. (Negative correlation)

There is a high correlation between âeasy moneyâ and crypto. By âeasy moneyâ, I mean an accommodating Fed. Weâve had a nice run from 2009 - 2021, with the Fed printing money like mad.
Well now with inflation at 9%, the Fed is in a tightening mode with the rate hikes and the end of QE. Liquidity is king and investors are raising cash - lying in wait for the Fed to pivot. When it does, the dollar and interest rates will fall and money will flood back into the market.
There is that too. The âeasy moneyâ with crypto & stocks.

I believe there is a generational opportunity to make money. But it requires patience. There will be a window for everything: gold, crypto, and stocks.
But right now the Fed is in a bind. They must raise rates to combat inflation. At the same time, they know the economy is weakening and higher rates make it difficult to pay off the enormous government debt which came from reckless fiscal and monetary spending. At some point, they will have to reverse course.
SoâŚwe need to let the rate hikes play out. The Fed will pivot when something breaks, most likely unemployment or credit spreads. I see that happening in the next quarter or two.
If you donât want to time the market, you can always dollar cost average your way back in.
In any case, I see an opportunity to make generational wealth.

I think most people donât understand that currently most crypto that are not an exchange are not making any money, because they have no products to sell. Most of them sell you on some idea that they may never make a reality.
What you are trading is not the value of the coin or the technology, itâs what other people think of the coin. You are trading hype basically. Maybe in 5-10 years crypto coins will be about technology and innovation but right now they are about a quick money grab from the owners/developers. Especially if they are below top 100.
Thereâs been many cases where the owners start slowly selling their own coins and people that are holding them loose a lot of money. Same thing happened with luna. They found a transaction of millions to the owners personal wallet. And people still put money in the new luna token he made. So be careful in what you invest in. Focus on top 100 coins
