RE: Bill Miller Turns Bullish On Bitcoin
Honestly right now I'm just trying to avoid the landmines. Everyone claims that the top market cap coins are the safest but picking out one can be difficult.
-Bitcoin got destroyed when the futures market launched and still is being manipulated by them.
-Etherium has potential... that's mostly wasted by mountains of crap coins and pointless apps built off it's network.
-Charlie Lee pumped and dumped his own creation Litecoin.
-XRP is a centralized coin which defeats the original purpose of cryptos.
But anyway, it's really hard to say whats my 'favorite'. Most coins have their flaws and weaknesses but only one can rule them all. Most will fall by the wayside leaving the investors penniless, a fact that does not help me sleep well at night. But if your asking about my portfolio, it's mostly composed of Litecoin and Etherium (with a few other smaller cryptos throw in the mix). Started accumulating those two a looooooong time ago because when I first started out I though they were the best bet, but now I wish I'd been more diversified instead of mindlessly pumping thousands of dollars into two assets. Whatever, too late now. Right now what I'm the interested in diversifying in would be Z-cash, aka the king of security cryptos. What's your portfolio look like?
Fun fact: I've never owned Bitcoin, not even a slight fraction.
What an amazing answer! I appreciate your time
Exacly!
Im glad to see how responsive you are @austin101
Steemit need more people like you :)
Im moving slowly and steadily most of my little resources into STEEM. Im not much into trading any more (burned myself few times, but I learned enough to understand basics). My goal is to create group of influencers and bloggers and work with ICOs and established cryptos. I think it can be more profitable and less risky than trading.
Have a great weekend ahead, yours

Hate to say this but putting all your resources into steem may not be the greatest idea. If anything you should do the opposite and buy into other crpytos. This is because if you have steem on this platform it's most likely powered down. When steem is powered down it takes 1-2 years to get all your money back. So let's say that Bitcoin goes to $40,000 and takes the rest of the market with it, you think prices are getting too high so you want to cash out and wait for prices to go lower to re-enter your position. (This is not day or swing trading, it could take the crypto market over a year to re-inflate into bubble territory). But there's a problem you can't cash out instantly because all you have is steem, so you power down but by the time you get your money back we're in another bear market and Bitcoin has dragged down the rest for he market with it. Liquidity is the name of the game and steem has zero. When the crypto market peaked at the end of 2018 you wouldn't have been able to get out, and that also goes for the future. So unless you're prepared to be on the bad end of every market downturn I'd suggest trading out your steem out for alt coins now, and as soon as you get any in the future. (I haven't bothered to do this because my Steemit account is so tiny, but your account is big enough for you to make the effort). Litecoin and Etherium may have their flaws, but at least I have the comfort in knowing I can liquidate them at any time. Just my two cents, but good luck anyway.
It takes 13 weeks to power down
Not a year plus
Hi @austin101
I appreciate your view. The thing is that Im investing in steem assuming that Im investing in my social media marketing business. It's not so much about profit but about influence that SP is giving me on this platform.
The truth is that if BTC would be worht 40k then I would never power down. I would just double my activity on Steemit knowing that my votes can give some decent reward to curators. So I hope you see that my approach is very different. Im in STEEM ... pretty much until Steemit exist.
Does it make sense?
But of course your point is very clear and I appreciate that you've shared it with me.
ps.
you're very responsive which is absolutely great and steemit community surely will benefit by having you here.
if you would ever like to keep in touch and support each other closer, then drop me a message [email protected].
This will allow us to communicate easier.
No pressure of course,
Good read,
Yours
