Bitcoin prices have brought the zealots back
Today's Takeaway is by Julie Hyman, Anchor.
You may have heard — bitcoin is back. The price of the biggest cryptocurrency has surged past $42,000 and is up more than 150% this year.
With the price recovery, we’ve seen the reemergence of a certain kind of financial media character: the shill, the opportunist, the tout, the pumper.
They were everywhere when bitcoin was climbing to record highs in 2021. When Americans were getting government checks, sitting at home, and looking to strike it rich, crypto seemed like a no-brainer, driven in no small part by FOMO — and these hype men saying it was the future of finance.
The voices got quieter when the price crashed from above $60,000 to below $20,000, although the faithful insisted this was part of bitcoin’s “typical cycle.” That quiet turned to embarrassment for some with the collapse of the Terra stablecoin, the implosion of FTX (with whom many had financial relationships), and the arrest of Sam Bankman-Fried.
But another characteristic of some of this cohort is their lack of shame. So even as all of those events were unfolding, it wasn’t difficult to find them on Twitter, hewing fast to their stated belief that bitcoin was the answer — to getting rich, to finance, to whatever.
Will retail investors get caught up in FOMO once again? Signs point to yes. The first leg of the latest rally seems to have been driven in part by predictions (once again) for institutional investment in crypto, tied in part to the anticipation of SEC approval for spot bitcoin ETFs.
With price action comes renewed retail interest. Robinhood just reported that November crypto trading volumes surged by 75% compared to October. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev told Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi that price appreciation begets media interest begets retail investment:
“You are starting to see retail investors wake up to certain segments of the rally. What tends to happen is, we've seen in the past as the price of bitcoin approaches all-time highs, the media coverage and intensity increases. And I think that plays a role as well. If people are just hearing more about crypto around them, they tend to become more interested, and you start to see that reflected in trading activity, at least in the past.”
All of this is not to say that bitcoin won’t keep going up, or that it couldn't indeed play some role in the future of finance. But I’ve been at this long enough to be suspicious when a bet on an asset starts to sound like a religious belief — especially when the belief is intertwined with profit, and depends on you also shelling out cash.
There are rational voices in the crypto universe who don’t seem to just be relying on the greater fool theory. One of them is Devin Ryan, who covers the fintech industry for Citizens JMP Securities. He’s looking at the sheer scale of the ETF industry, and the giant asset managers like BlackRock who are sure to allocate to their bitcoin ETF if it is indeed approved.
“People are getting a bit ahead of the ETFs,” Ryan told Yahoo Finance Live. But just "a very small fraction" of asset managers' trillions would in fact be enormous. Just think of all the private clients allocating a few millions here, a few there.
"That could be hundreds of billions of market cap expansion," Ryan said.
It may not be the moon, but it's something.
Stocks on the move
tldr; The article discusses the significant liquidations in the crypto futures market, totaling over $181 million, following a sharp upward push in Bitcoin's price. The majority of the liquidations were from short contracts, amounting to $182 million, while longs also suffered almost $129 million in liquidations. The volatility in the crypto sector has led to these mass liquidation events, making the futures market a risky place to navigate for uninformed traders.

With the increasing popularity and potential profitability of cryptocurrencies, many individuals are drawn towards the idea of investing in this digital asset class. However, the question arises - what is the most effective approach to maximize returns and minimize risks? This article delves into the pros and cons of two primary strategies: day trading and long-term investing in cryptocurrencies.
By understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each method, assessing risk factors, potential returns, time commitments, tax implications, and other key considerations, readers will gain valuable insights to make informed decisions when it comes to navigating the exciting but volatile world of cryptocurrencies.
Day trading and long-term investing are two popular approaches to investing in cryptocurrencies. Day trading involves buying and selling cryptocurrencies within a short period, typically within a day. On the other hand, long-term investing involves holding onto cryptocurrencies for an extended period, often years, in the hopes of capitalizing on their growth potential.
Cryptocurrencies have gained significant attention and popularity in recent years. With their decentralized nature and potential for high returns, they have attracted investors from all walks of life. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and numerous altcoins have shown tremendous growth, making them an enticing investment option for both day traders and long-term investors.
Day trading can be an exhilarating and potentially profitable venture for those who thrive on short-term price movements. It allows for quick decision-making and the possibility of making multiple trades in a single day. Day traders can take advantage of market volatility and potentially profit from both rising and falling cryptocurrency prices.
Day trading requires a high level of skill, knowledge, and discipline. It can be mentally and emotionally demanding, as traders need to constantly monitor price charts and make split-second decisions. Moreover, transaction fees and the potential for losses due to sudden market swings can eat into profits. Day trading also requires significant time commitment, making it unsuitable for individuals with other obligations.
Long-term investing in cryptocurrencies offers several advantages. It allows investors to ride the wave of the cryptocurrency market's overall growth potential. By holding onto their investments for an extended period, investors have the opportunity to benefit from significant appreciation in value. Long-term investors can also avoid the stress and anxiety associated with day trading, as they are not constantly monitoring price fluctuations.
While long-term investing can be profitable, it is not without its risks. The cryptocurrency market can be highly volatile, and the value of investments can experience significant fluctuations. Additionally, there is a lack of regulation in the cryptocurrency space, which can increase the risk of fraud and scams. It is crucial for long-term investors to conduct thorough research and due diligence before investing in specific cryptocurrencies.
Both day trading and long-term investing in cryptocurrencies involve exposure to market volatility. Day traders thrive on short-term price movements, while long-term investors focus on the overall growth potential of cryptocurrencies. Understanding market trends, conducting technical analysis, and setting realistic expectations are vital for managing risk in both approaches.
Both day trading and long-term investing require effective risk management strategies. Day traders must set strict stop-loss orders to limit potential losses, while long-term investors should diversify their cryptocurrency portfolio to mitigate risk. It is essential for investors to stay updated with market news, maintain a long-term perspective, and not invest more than they can afford to lose.
In conclusion, the decision between day trading and long-term investing in cryptocurrencies depends on an individual's risk tolerance, time availability, and investment goals. Both approaches have their pros and cons, and it is crucial to understand the challenges and risks associated with each. Regardless of the chosen strategy, staying informed and maintaining a disciplined approach are key to navigating the volatile cryptocurrency market.
Day trading in cryptocurrencies offers the allure of quick profits. With its fast-paced nature, day trading allows you to take advantage of short-term price fluctuations and potentially make gains within a single trading session. However, it's important to note that day trading requires a high level of skill, as well as the ability to control your emotions in the face of rapid market changes. It's like trying to catch a fly with chopsticks - exhilarating, but not always successful.
On the other hand, long-term investing in cryptocurrencies can be more like planting a seed and watching it grow. By holding onto your digital assets for an extended period, you have the opportunity to benefit from the overall growth and maturation of the crypto market.
This strategy allows you to capture the potential upside of major developments like widespread adoption or innovative technology advancements. Just make sure you're patient enough to wait for the trees to bear fruit, rather than trying to climb them like a squirrel hopped up on caffeine.
Day trading requires dedication and a significant time commitment. You'll need to closely monitor the markets throughout the day, constantly analyzing charts, news, and indicators to spot potential opportunities. This means staying glued to your computer screen (or multiple screens) for hours on end. It's like having a demanding virtual pet that requires constant attention, except you can't pet it, and there's no guarantee it won't bite you.
Long-term investing, on the other hand, offers a more relaxed approach. Once you've done your initial research and made your investment decisions, you can take a step back and let your assets do their thing. This strategy is perfect for those who don't have the time or desire to be constantly checking market fluctuations. It's like setting up an automatic sprinkler system for your financial garden - you just need to check in every now and then to make sure everything is growing as planned.
Day trading can lead to a tangled mess of tax obligations. The frequent buying and selling of cryptocurrencies can trigger taxable events, potentially resulting in a hefty tax bill. It's crucial to keep meticulous records of your trades and consult with a tax professional to ensure you stay on the right side of the taxman. Uncle Sam doesn't mess around when it comes to getting his cut, especially in the wild and uncharted territory of cryptocurrencies.
Long-term investing generally comes with more favorable tax treatment. If you hold your cryptocurrencies for more than a year before selling, you may qualify for lower long-term capital gains tax rates. This can help minimize the impact on your overall profits. It's like discovering a hidden shortcut that lets you keep more of your hard-earned money when it's time to cash out.
When deciding between day trading and long-term investing, consider your personal goals and risk tolerance. If you thrive on adrenaline and are comfortable with the inherent risks, day trading might be your cup of tea. But if you prefer a more laid-back approach and can handle the ups and downs of the market, long-term investing might be a better fit. Just remember, there's no one-size-fits-all strategy in the wild world of cryptocurrencies.
Both day trading and long-term investing require financial resources, but the level of investment capital needed can vary. Day trading often requires larger initial investments to take advantage of price movements and cover transaction costs.
On the other hand, long-term investing can be more flexible, allowing you to start with smaller amounts and add to your positions over time. It's like deciding between a whirlwind romance or a slow-burn love story - both can be rewarding, but they require different levels of commitment.
Successful day trading relies heavily on market knowledge and trading skills. You need to understand technical analysis, chart patterns, and have a good grasp of market psychology. Long-term investing also requires some level of market awareness, but the focus is more on fundamental analysis and identifying promising projects. It's like comparing a tightrope walker to a juggler - both require a certain level of skill, but they're juggling different balls (or, in this case, crypto tokens).
In the end, the choice between day trading and long-term investing in cryptocurrencies comes down to your individual preferences, goals, and circumstances. Whichever path you choose, always remember to approach the world of cryptocurrencies with caution, a dash of humor, and the willingness to learn from your wins and losses. Happy trading, or investing, or whatever you decide to do!
In conclusion, both day trading and long-term investing in cryptocurrencies offer unique opportunities and challenges. Day trading provides the potential for quick profits but requires significant time, dedication, and a high tolerance for risk. On the other hand, long-term investing allows for potential growth over time but requires patience, a long-term perspective, and the ability to weather market volatility.
Ultimately, the choice between these two strategies depends on individual goals, risk appetite, and personal circumstances. It is crucial for investors to carefully evaluate their objectives and consider various factors before deciding which approach aligns best with their investment preferences. By staying informed, understanding the pros and cons, and adapting strategies to changing market conditions, one can navigate the world of cryptocurrencies with confidence.
Both day trading and long-term investing have their own challenges and require a certain level of knowledge and experience. However, for beginners, long-term investing may be a more suitable option as it allows for a more passive approach and reduces the need for constant monitoring of price fluctuations.
Day trading in cryptocurrencies can be profitable, but it also comes with significant risks. The cryptocurrency market is highly volatile and can experience rapid price swings, which can lead to substantial gains or losses. Success in day trading requires a deep understanding of market trends, technical analysis skills, and the ability to make quick decisions.
The tax implications of day trading and long-term investing in cryptocurrencies can vary depending on the jurisdiction. In many countries, including the United States, cryptocurrencies are treated as property for tax purposes. This means that both short-term gains from day trading and long-term capital gains from investing may be subject to taxation. It is essential to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific tax obligations and reporting requirements in your country.
Yes, it is possible to combine day trading and long-term investing strategies in cryptocurrencies. Some investors may choose to allocate a portion of their portfolio for day trading while maintaining a long-term investment strategy for other assets. However, it is important to carefully manage risk, set clear guidelines, and ensure that both strategies align with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
