Good year to start let’s gooo x18

Time to get to the end of the #Bitcoin correction.

Sweep the liquidity beneath the lows, while #Altcoins aren’t suffering against Bitcoin.

From that point —> upwards run to happen and a good year to start.

Powell’s keynote: #Bitcoin is just like gold, except it's digital. It’s a competitor of Gold and it’s a speculative asset.

His tone towards $BTC starts to shift entirely.

Building A $1,000 #Altcoin Portfolio

This cycle is the last cycle where you can leverage yourself through a maximum of gains on altcoins and hit $100,000 with a $1,000 portfolio.

Last cycle, I went from $30,000 to $10 million.

If I can do it, you can do it too. Let´s discuss.

The markets are heating up and the emotions are getting into the decision-making, which is actually benefiting your returns in a negative way.

I'll be making multiple posts on assisting you on how to build and manage a small portfolio, as the coming year can change your life.

The thing is that you're constantly hearing a lot of great stories about people making millions from nothing in memecoins. For sure, this can be done with memecoins, but you should realize that you're far on the edge of the risk curve and that, the further you go, the more people will lose rather than win.

On the other hand, the markets have shown that, with relatively new coins, early in the bull cycle tremendous returns were achieved.

SEI and TIA went up by more than 1,000% in the beginning of this year, not discussing FET or INJ.

The bull market lasts in multiple stages, and we all remember the massive peaks up and down. The peaks up are there to generate return, but actually, most return is made by having the guts to be stepping into an asset again when it's down 50% in a single week or month.

In 2024: alcoins went up 500-1000% and they corrected by more than 50 and even 80%.

The four key principles that you should realize when you're building a small portfolio in this first article.

1⃣ - Less is more.

The first key principle is having less assets in your portfolio. There's a marginal effort required to manage another asset in your portfolio, which leads to a marginal (positive/negative) return within that same portfolio.

One of the key lessons from the previous cycles for me was to reduce the amount of coins in your portfolio as less is more. The optimal size is between 6-8 assets. Manage them well and your return will be significantly high enough.

Why?

Everything is correlated anyways, so going for a bigger portfolio doesn't make much sense.

2⃣ - Smaller coins do not yield a higher return

When I'm trading and investing in the markets, I'd build my portfolio up from risk assessments, rather than from the potential return I could make.

People are so heavily focused on 'this coin went 200x previous cycle, this did a 80x in 3 months'. Yes, but you should realize that you won't be selling that specific high. You'll be too early or too late.

If you build your portfolio from risk rather than the reward, then you'd be taking decisions that 'higher valued' coins within a narrative make more sense if you trade based from the risk perspective. Larger coins have more liquidity, a higher chance of surviving when the narrative wakes up and drop less when the markets shift.

3⃣ - Be patient.

The markets have barely moved upwards, some coins have been yielding a 2x, but that's literally the start.

If you want to have the big returns, you should be patient to avoid excessive trading to be done through those runs.

If you had the ability to take the positions in the accumulation phase, then the 2x isn't the trade that you're looking for, you'd be planning to take a higher return with those altcoins and you know that it's possible, so find something to do in between the period of buying and selling to avoid that you're going to be making silly mistakes.

4⃣ - Rebalance your portfolio.

I think, by far, that the essential part about making sure that you're going to be making it through this cycle is to be having the ability to rebalance your portfolio.

Our courses will educate you the most about this concept, but through this concept you'll:
- erase external factors
- have a strict plan
- work from risk rather than reward
- have the flexibility to ride the waves of the markets

Rebalancing your portfolio means that once you've been making massive returns in the markets, that you're going to shift back towards Bitcoin and Ethereum and possibly even USDT.

This is also where I've been referring to the case that I'll be using the March high to start taking substantial profits from my altcoins back into Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Why? The first run upwards might yield you the first 8-12X, however, swapping towards Bitcoin and Ethereum might provide you an additional 50% (then you'll be at 12-18X), while altcoins are suffering.

Reallocating those funds once the markets have gone down by 50-80% on those altcoins and you'd be setting yourself up for another massive run.

That's how the game is played and that's the best way to build a big portfolio out of a small portfolio.

Compound your returns.

#Altcoins are in a bull cycle, but how to handle flash crashes?

Today has shown that altcoins are super volatile.
They are able to drop by 10% when $BTC sneezes.

They are certain strategies that you can follow through those times.

Let's discuss flash crashes on #Altcoins. ⬇️

The markets are trending upwards, however, the sentiment can change in the blink of an eye.

Some bigger altcoins have been running upwards by more than 200% in a single week, erasing the bear market of the past three years in a single week. Don't get me wrong. We're in the same stage as in 2020, through which the sentiment is still overly bearish and therefore, the potential expectations for peak bull market valuations for those altcoins are also ridiculously low.

I don't expect Bitcoin to peak at $150K, I rather expect Bitcoin to peak at $500K and I tend to believe that we'll have a longer cycle due to the insane amount of liquidity being added to the markets + the trend switch on macroeconomics yet to happen.

Now, back to altcoins.

➡️They are super illiquid and when the sentiment is positive, people tend to overleverage themselves on illiquid assets to make more money.

Simple.

This means that, once the markets are rotating, the long positions are getting liquidated/stopped out, however, the liquidity that comes back into the order books through those forced sells is way larger than what the markets can absorb.

Especially in an event where Bitcoin makes it standard 5-10% correction on a day to take the liquidity on the long side.

This is likely going to cause a chainreaction across markets with deep wicks of corrections of 20-40% on the markets for altcoins.

That's where they come from and that's what I mean by 'flash crashes'.

What are strategies for those periods?

1 - The best thing is to be patient and to accumulate your altcoin positions NOW. In this accumulation period is the easiest period to be building those positions as the markets haven't gone vertical, yet.

If that happens, then you don't need to be doing much doring those flash crashes. It's just a reset of the markets. Avoid any emotional behavior and just sit through it.

2 - If you don't have any position or you want to add to your position, those flash crashes are the most optimal entry points you could wish for. On social media, people are likely going to be stating that markets are going to go way deeper, and that's what you need to avoid.

Just step into the markets, buy after those massive corrections that take place and start to hold.

Being patient is the best thing to maximize your returns. The past cycle I've had a few 100x+ runs on coins. How? By sitting on my hands.

It's difficult, but you can do it.

[Mark Harvey @thepowerfulHRV]

#Bitcoin has risen by 92% in 2023 so far, but the setup for 2024 appears massive. I see five major catalysts:

1. The supply halving: The next Bitcoin supply halving is expected around April 2024. When the halving occurs, new coin issuance will drop from 900 per day to only 450. These new coins are issued to BTC miners who need to sell them to fund their operations. When the new supply issuance is cut in half in April, this selling pressure will be halved, significantly improving the supply/demand dynamics of Bitcoin overall.

2. Approval of spot #Bitcoin ETFs: BlackRock, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, and Invesco alone manage a total of $16 trillion in assets. The SEC's approval of their Bitcoin ETFs appears imminent and will potentially unlock trillions of dollars to drive up the price of Bitcoin in 2024.

3. Fair value accounting rules for Bitcoin on corporate balance sheets: Companies in the S&P 500 alone hold $2.6 trillion in cash, which is like a melting ice cube on their balance sheets. This year, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) unanimously voted in favor of revising the corporate accounting rules, which are currently unfavorable for crypto assets. The current accounting rules treat Bitcoin as an indefinite intangible asset, making corporate financials with Bitcoin on the books look bad optically. When the accounting rules change, holding Bitcoin will become more appealing for corporations.

4. Fed pausing interest rate hikes and resuming QE: Interest rates are currently too high. The Fed is likely done with interest rate hikes and may be forced to lower them in 2024. When the Fed reverses course and lowers rates, it will become apparent to most people that the Fed isn't truly in control, potentially leading to a loss of credibility in commercial banking. This breach of trust with the public may naturally lead them to seek a stable alternative like #Bitcoin.

5. Muted 2020/2021 bull market: Markets often move contrary to people's expectations. Many Bitcoin bulls, including myself, anticipated Bitcoin surpassing $300k in 2020/2021, but it only reached $69k during the last bull cycle. This weaker bull market was influenced mainly by the FTX collapse, China's ban, and Fed interest rate hikes. As the previous bull market was relatively subdued, market expectations for a 2024 bull run are low.
