The risks aren't pretty, it sounds like you're saying...
"Naysayers, and Debbie Downers need not apply!"
If people didn't have their doubts one way or an other, then everyone would be in on it.
The only valid argument that Cryptoheads had was how safe and secure Cyrpto Currencies were. And how private your wealth would be, and safe from Fed prying eyes, and it would be a sure fire way to hedge against Social Demonetization.
Only in the last few years, the Obiden administration has revealed how Cyrpto Currencies would be even ten times easier to claw back and take from producers, than if they just buried their money in mason jars in the back yard.
Here's what we've learned so far.
1)Yes, if the Government has the desire to take money from you, they can reverse transaction, and take it from you.(See Pipeline hackers)
2)Yes, the Fed wants to control it, and centralize it by having all transactions go through the Federal Reserve. (See Bidens latest monetary polices.)
3)At any moment those at the top, can and will pull all of theirs out, while you're blocked from doing anything about it. All you can do is just watch it all evaporate. (See Dodge Coin and LGB coin pump and dump operation)
Crypto currency is the most compromised form of investing their is. What happens if all hell breaks lose and EM explosions take out much of the internet and servers that manage the Bitcoin infrastructure. Sure the transactions are distributed, but not the Bitcoin Enterprise that keeps it viable.
Which is another burning question I had earlier that has been answered. What happens when the company running a crypto currency goes belly up?
Last year or earlier this year there was a new Coin, that people thought was going to be the next big thing. People put in millions, but then the folks running it, just took the money and ran, then declared bankrupt. Left the suckers holding the bag.

Another thing that bothers me about Crypto.
It's supposed to be an alternate currency, but everyone is hedging it like it's a Commodity or Investment. It was created and first touted to be used as a currency.
But less than 5% of all transactions are actual purchase of goods. 95% of all transactions are people flipping BTC back and forth.
So now the market is so saturated, that every copy cat is doing the same thing. Now there are so many, I can't see how it will ever be used for purchasing.

Well, I was one of the starting junior partners at a hedge fund and yes, using that 50 MA as a starting point, did work if you built a money management strategy around it. Sure, I'm not a billionaire (instead, a low level new millionaire) but our top trader from London is worth well over $200M dollars today.
I suspect that if he keeps going the way he does, he may reach that billionaire point by retirement.
It's not like "Oh, it broke 50 MA, everyone 'GO LONG'! It's more like, "Ok, there's a 50 MA correlation, if we kept the bullish calls below 50 MA at 40%-50% positional, can we up that to 60%, until a trend confirmation is held, and then we'll max it to 70%" That's the difference between being a trading house and being a bunch of yahoos out there who either double up or double down, every time a non-farm payroll announcement is made.
If your trading bars strategy with 50 day (*Rin adds in correction: 50 week for longer term trending) moving averages worked, you would be a billionaire, with people piling in money for you to continuously beat the market.

This is why I'm only risking my dividends from overpriced blue chips like P&G or Exxon-Mobil because in effect, that dividend cash will be replenished within a year's time frame.
If this turns into a bearish flag, as oppose to a re-test of the bullish channel, which could easily happen if both the Russ2K & EUR/USD completely breakdown, then the loss of that re-occurring revenue from XBTF is $35 to $23 or ~35% of one's annual dividend payout.
That's no big deal from my perspective because if the general markets crash anyways, that money would have been lost in the DRIP with the overpriced blue chip stocks.

The only reason I have heard for owning crypto is that it appreciates capital, i.e. goes up.
The problem is there is no real reason for it to go up except someone likes it more than you do.
When I saw a machine that took cash and gave you crypto in a convenience store in a shitty neighborhood I got a little clue; it was right next to the Lotto tickets.
I think they are both loser bets.

@FJB As far as XRP very soon it is likely to be the 1st crypto that is officially tested by fire in the US court system of law as to if XRP is a security or a currency? If things go the way it seems in the SEC vrs Ripple case and Ripple wins the case the SEC brought against Ripple the price of XRP has incredible high odds of exploding higher.
XRP ledger is already integrating through out the world and will likely be a gigantic part of the way money and value of most any asset you can name fiat, RE, commodities etc. moves across the world and settle, it is phenomenally interoperable. "Isn't that globalist coin?" probably not with the connotation of the WEF but rather as a utility out right replacing the SWIFT system ISO 20022 Repository or a light years upgrade to that system and that is the basis that I am speculating with XRP. https://ripple.com/ripplenet?source=patrick.net https://www.coinsuggest.com/bank-ripple-xrp/?source=patrick.net
The deal is when SEC brought the case the exchanges in US shut it down and stopped offering XRP the riches nation in the world from buying it where the rest of the world has not skipped a beat where many of the worlds countries and largest financial institutions has already excepted XRP as a currency. https://www.coinsuggest.com/bank-ripple-xrp/and?source=patrick.net likely the reason for the very high demand for developers in this space. https://boards.greenhouse.io/ripple?source=patrick.net https://crypto.jobs/?source=patrick.net
Currently I have 40+ stacks of different tokens that I am speculating with high odds on their utility becoming something in this space and yes there are 18500+/- coins and most after the courts settles Sec vrs Ripple lawsuit will most of them will be considered utilities...

Ripple which was developed 2nd I believe 2012 even before ETH and has developed the largest network bar none of institutions using XRP ledgers for its ODL and instant pmt system and in part why there is such a high high demand for app developers in this space....

From what you've seen, how well does 50EMA (or any other EMA or MA) work in a situation which strongly depends on external factors? Crypto is that, kinda: there are military conflicts, a country leadership may start a holy war against crypto, etc.

Not sure your location but assume it's USA and so if you would like to get a stack of XRP to speculate let me know.
If you are in US using US regulated exchanges you can't buy XRP but just wait till this case is settled and it is re-listed.

Here's the thing, the 50 EMA, using long term price bars, like one candlestick per week (or month), gives the general trend of the market. And yes, external factors can wreck havoc which is why the Zimbabwe dollar is not highly active on the forex.
Let me illustrate the political situation with Hong Kong with its chart ...
As anyone can tell, the above is highly volatile & one could even say, unstable. Yet, using the long term 50 EMA, one can see the bullish vs bearish zones despite the fact that it's rough territory & thus, I don't expect to find many buy 'n hold types there except for those who're forced to live in Hong Kong & spend money there.
And I'm guessing that short term traders are very keen on having hard stop-losses when their position reverses.
FYI, I don't know of anyone who trades it.

With that stated, using the DRIPs with Proctor & Gamble or Exxon-Mobil, one is buying blue chips at a market peak. In other words, they're too expensive.
Aside from Altria, British-American Tobacco, & Rio Tinto, I'm only using the dividend stream from the overpriced blue chips for the swing trade in bitcoin. This is money which will return automatically to my account, ever year, for as long as I own those equities.

I believe a lot of that is that of market structure. Right now, as long as the Rus2K & EUR/USD don't collapse and then we don't see a re-play of the 2008 crash across all markets, the current bullishness on the Bitcoin will hold out to re-test its channel.
Now, given the fact that both the Rus2K & EUR/USD are continually re-testing their respective lows, perhaps this could happen. In other words, if the XBTF drops from the congestion zone between 35 and 40, and into the lower 20s (along with Rus2K & EUR/USD), then basically, sell all your non-tobacco blue chips (i.e. PG, XOM, ED, MMM, etc) and wait for the crash.

What about EUR/USD, why does that matter? It seems instinctively true that "strong USD = good", but when crisis occurs it usually occurs in EUR countries too. That makes it a bit more difficult to explain the correlation.

Usually, it's the confluence of the EUR/USD & GBP/USD (with a greater weighing towards the EUR as its the higher volume on the forex) making newer multi-year lows than during bullish highs of the major US markets.
And continental Europe's problems don't necessarily affect Britain at the same time & the USD strengthening effect is over longer periods of time, not around singular events like the Crimean/Ukraine war.
So right now, the EUR is close to doing it while the GBP is holding up above its multi-year low. All and all, with the Fed's latest hike, we'll see how this pans out in the months ahead.

One more time ... if the markets uniformly collapse, do not sell your holdings of Altria, British-American Tobacco, & Rio Tinto.
Those stocks give great dividends and during a meltdown, where all stock prices fall, your dividend payouts will double & then, you'll have a lot more re-invested equities under your belt.
This is the opposite advice for overpriced blue chips where yes, you should sell before the meltdown because you'll lose all of your cap gains.
Let me give you an example, here's my local power company, Eversource (ES) ...
It gives a 3% dividend but here's the issue ... it never experienced a single price reduction/fluctuation for the longest period of time. It's a perma-bull, always above the 50 MA regardless. So here's the story, when the market crashes, I'll doubt that New Englanders won't need power and thus, Eversource will be a 8-10% dividend stock giving one a retirement income with little chance of going out of business.
And others, like Proctor & Gamble, have had much higher price climbs than Eversource. At least ES is slowing down.

Which big companies use blockchain and crypto?
https://cryptonews.net/news/blokcheyn/3902561/?source=patrick.net
In addition, 55 of the world’s top 100 banks by volume of assets under management have invested in blockchain companies, as have 36 of the world’s top 100 listed companies.
These include Alphabet (formerly Google), Microsoft, Samsung, Intel, PayPal, Goldman Sachs, Mastercard and Visa, to name but the best known.
So we can conclude fuck BBB

Using last year's chart, we're still in the price congestion zone & hoping for a breakout above it ...

Let me make a comparison to a more mature market.
The following is a multi-year chart of the EUR vs USD, with the 50 bar exponential moving average (EMA) as the indicator on the chart. As anyone can observe, when the spot price is above the 50 EMA, there are more bullish trading opportunities (in green) than below it. And when it's below the 50 EMA, bearish events (in red) tend to be more common.
Now, contrast the above with that of BITCOIN vs USD. Whenever the 50 EMA is tested, the bearish opportunities are sparse and really don't even given bonafide short sellers much time to maneuver w/o a near term rally taking 'em out.
All and all, that's a bullish market with a high amount of sentiment on the upside. So until we see a general overall market meltdown, I'm not calling curtains on the cryptos.
