I think you should have kept the capitalisation consistent.. The Future

Even applying a steel man, it is not convincing. Don’t defer to “smart people”. Do your own research from first principles.

#65That's cool, but what I'd really like to see would be some form of tool to define different strategies and visualize how they would've worked. I mean, probably professional traders have tons of these to do back-testing, but it would be nice to have something simple that people could use to check basic strategies. Just as an example, when I was still into BTC my "strategy" was to buy $100 very month, and in the end of…

#66Feature Request: Is it possible to bind the values selected in the diagram with the form, and then bind them all with the query params? I'd love to share this with some friends, but on specific periods (not as gloats, just to discuss).

#67A good counter to "I could have made $X bazillion if I'd gotten into Y thing at Z time" is to remember that you could have doubled your money at the horse track yesterday by betting on the right horse at the right time. So the only question is: what's different between Y thing and horse betting? Did you have enough information at Z time to know you should have invested? Or are you just wishing you could have predicte…
The difference is that Crypto is The Future. Horse betting has been established to be just that: Betting (I have no clue if that's really true, no offense to the hn horse racing crowd). There is no big institution money that says otherwise. There are no startup wizards working in the field. Nobody claims they are going to change the world. Crypto on the other hand is sold as the future, and the people who miss out on…
It is a great point.
Off Track Betting near me is also always packed with people betting on horses. No one there though is foolish enough to create an ideology around horse betting and I am sure most know deep down the house always wins.

#68You could have made trillions of dollars with ANY asset in ANY time period if you time it right, so this is not special or unique
No, you definitely could not. That would require a highly liquid asset.
Yeah not trillions and not any asset. But many millions and 99% of traded funds, yeah.

I think you're confusing a Crypto with NFTs. One is virtual money, the other is virtual certificates.
I have a collection of broken pens on my desk... in theory I could also use them as units of currencies, I just have to find a sucker^W person willing to accept them as such...
