A few people were holding the winner when it was selected to rocket. But that's a lottery. Hopefully the crypto world will rise because it becomes accepted and used as currency, not because of a pump and dump by Musk or a meme group. Everybody has a story about the crypto that got away... everybody also has a story about all the tokens they bought that never did anything, or went to zero. I'm holding several, which are down HUGE since I got them (like HIVE, and LBC which is LBRY Coins). Most of my hive-engine tokens are crashing every month, over and over, further and further down. My WEED (several thousand) has gone to zero. POB keeps falling every week, looks like it is headed for zero. My LOTUS is at zero now. My LEO is waaaay down. Literally nothing I've been holding for years is going up, and almost everything is going down. Not just sometimes, but always! I've spent/earned hundreds of thousands of dollars on HIVE, and the current value is 9k LOL
For every winner at investing there is a loser. Wouldn't it be nice if everybody could win and profit at the same time? But who would they be profiting from? In reality, investing only enriches the house (banks and exchanges) and never the investors. Investing is competition between the people, enriching the system. It used to be about supporting good startup companies with capital so they can grow and become profitable... but that's not what we're doing with DOGE and other meme stocks/tokens is it? We're just trying to profit... from each other. Just my take on it, I'm open to being corrected if I'm wrong of course.
