Couple of my favorite investing quotes:

Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered.
Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.

Yea, good quote. I’m always broke when everyone is fearful, so I can’t capitalize. Life is long, tho

Genuine question... would you consider right now that people are greedy or fearful? I seriously can’t tell. Everyone is shouting the sky is falling and Bitcoin will burst but I also see the price rising. What do you think?

Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.

Don't those two go hand in hand? I mean at the moment there must be a lot of fear that BTC could collapse, but there's simultaneously a lot of greed. So what do you do. Some are fearful, others are greedy. I think your quote's first line makes more sense. Or to put it another way, greed is good, but not too much greed.

The problem with bitcoin investing is that the true bitcoin followers are greedy thinking they can 10x thier money while Joe Smoe in poduck is full of fear.
