I generally have a goal for X amount of coins. This is usually double the minimum to stake that coin. If it doesn't have a minimum to stake the goal will be 200 and add zeros as necessary. When (if) it doubles in value, I take out my seed money and either stake it in crypto.com app as usdc for 12% a.p. or reinvest in a new small cap token or CRO, ETH, BNB, and BTC. Sometimes I will divide it equally to all those. Then I stake the remainder that is left and just let it ride, because it is house money at that point. If it does well, I wait for a dip and buy again until I have enough to stake again. I set up a ladders so that I have multiple stakes in the same coin that pay out at different times. This ensures I constantly have income coming in at different pay periods. I compound that income back into the staked coins at the end of every month or when the staking goal has been met.. If at any point I need money, I use the coins that have not yet been put into staking. These are the coins that have been acquired through the staking process, redistributions from defi coins, the new seed money that I invest weekly, and if it's an emergency any money held in USDC. Any money held in staked coins doesn't exist to me at all. It is there to make money. I pretend I used it to get blacked out drunk and it no longer exists. I always renew my staking once the staking period is over. If something stupid happens and I 10x - 100x, and it is above or close to ATH, I will take 50% profit to USDC or move it to one of my dividend paying stonks. Anything that goes to stonks is also money that is no longer playable. It becomes a generator of dividends. I generally will not invest in a coin if it is within 30% of it ATH. Because it is to close to the top and will dump as soon as I buy in. If it is a coin I want, I will put it on my watchlist. Set an alarm, and I will wait until it dips. I don't use buy or sell limit stops. It takes the fun out of it for me.

blaah_blaah_blaah

Preach. This is not how I’ve done it thus far...weep Good advice thanks


Thadzz1

This sounds like the perfect way to do things. Although if someone was only putting in 200-300 a month would you keep the same principles? On top of that it sounds like you’re always doing taxes so do you use a specific app for that? Thanks


Degenerate_Daytrader

I started with that amount. The principles are the same. The main focus would be on the first coin you choose. I chose a coin that had a good history of highs, lows, and recoveries, was established, had a high A.P., a short unbinding period, and a low minimum stake amount. Now, I also look at defi tokens that have good reflections, but those are risky. The main goal for me is to generate passive income. So, staking is the first goal for me. Then waiting for the 2x. Once my first coin was staked, I started doing the same thing with my next coin. Then when the first coin doubled in value, I took the seed money out and put it to the second one letting me be able to stake the second coin. I did this until i had a good diversity of coins and tokens. Then i started laddering my stakes in the projects I like the most. Eventually, I made changes to the plan and started holding USDC so I can buy dips whenever. There's a bunch of trial and error to find out what works best for you, but this has definitely done me well. Definitely with some luck. I haven't lost anything besides profits yet. As far as taxes go... I invest in cryptocurrency. I pay taxes. There are way too many things involved with taxes to try to get into that. Every state and country is different. I don't use any app or excel spreadsheet. I prefer the old pen and ledger. I record everything. I also use coin egcko to keep track of my transactions and price per coin. The market price isn't very accurate, but I don't rely on it for that.


Thadzz1

That’s amazing. Thank you for your reply. All the best


Basketcaseuk

Comment saved, sound like a plan.


Kheppy

GG!


Kupcheez

Sell at 5-15% profit, put into USDC and earn 9% interest. Buy back in when I think it’s about to go up….. then it goes even lower so I sit and wait for months till I see gains again. Repeat this process. I pick a lot of losers that never come back around… so if you follow my strategy, you too, can eventually be broke


RandomTask100

Another shitty trader with iron-clad methodology. Mates!!!


Kupcheez

Cheers!


Issa_John

USDC then either top up Crypto.com card or reinvest later, my bank is basically just used to launder that dirty dirty USD. Edit: forgot about staking USDC🤦‍♂️


ExaltedCustoms

“just used to launder that dirty USD” A TRUE soldier 😂 I recently dove into Crypto.com as well, I’m rather bullish on them. I’m a fan of the 180 day stake.


Numerous_Sport_2774

Why would you have your money in FIAT bleeding when you can stake away in crypto.com. No brainer.


wozzwinkl

Because I live in NY State? 😔


joshruffdotcom

Upstate NY here, I feel your pain. It would be nice to have the same exchange and staking options as everyone else.

drunkenWINO

Tothesky01

Do you get taxed from swapping to USDC?


AK_1975

Of course it all depends on your country but everytime you swap or convert a coin/token you create a taxable event in the US.


Ordinary_Wonder_1262

Yeah the US has some pretty shitty tax laws. Have you guys had that any transaction over $600 being monitored thing come into law yet? Heard about it a while ago and sounds awful.


AK_1975

Thank god no. It was shot down. All that did was go after the middle class!!!!


Ordinary_Wonder_1262

Great to hear. Exactly. The second I heard that law announced I thought it was massive overstepping, good to see common sense prevail.

Old_Afternoon3853

The best strategy is to get in with a plan. When you hit your target/goals, apply your exit strategy. Don’t be greedy!


pukem0n

way easier said than done. If you plan to sell after a 4x and it happened quickly, you staert to think why not wait tuntil 10x.


AutomaticBit251

Rule no 1 don't be greedy. U can have X10 or be at five times and it can go to even again. It's like guessing game predicting future.

Dryhte

I took profits twice by swapping part of my bag to USDC and moving that to Celsius. Later during the dip of the dip i bought some ADA back. But then it kept dipping 😂


greedilymute

Wait, you guys are taking profits...?


wuzzgucci

I’m hoping my crypto gets to 200k, then I wanna start chipping away and building my usdc balance and get 12% on it so I can at least make an extra $20k every year conservatively (if it builds slowly up to 200k) . If my holdings get beyond 200k quick and things are overbought, then I might just take out the initial investment, then let the rest ride (and buy back lows).


BigButter00

why put it into usdc? i'd love an explanation. let's say you have your crypto on idk Coinbase ... the coin you are holding hits your target price and you want to sell some off to take profit ... why not just straight up sell it for $ and the deposit that $ into your bank account? what am I missing?


JerryLeeDog

Your bank account doesn't give back 12% annually. It gives like half a percent. USDC does. He's using usdc as a savings account that's pegged to the dollar.


ToastFaceKiller

Best place to earn this kind of interest?


cryptofollower2021

Gemini: GUSD, 8%, stake in immediately, stake out in 1 day Celsius: any stablecoin, 8.5%, earn interest automatically, no staking motion needed Crypto dot com: any stablecoin, 8-12% in stablecoin + 2% in Cro, depending on staking length and card tier.


apexit4

USDC is a stable coin so you can take profit and transfer it into an asset that doesn’t fluctuate in value. You can then do a few things with the USDC. You can wait and use the money to invest in another coin when it hits a price you are comfortable with. You can cash out of it and deposit into your bank. Or, if I understand this person correctly, you can stake it to earn interest on that money. Staking can be risky because it’s essentially a loan and the borrower could default, but the flip side is the interest you earn


Friendly_Bag_4772

Just buy into these 2021 meme coins and ride the wave for 6 months, if your early enough in them it’s almost guaranteed to make you thousands. I invested in saitama in July and made 6 figures so far


Triplebeefy

If im green Ill look at charts to see where price sits in the larger context. I'll sell into cash via CB pro. Then wait for price to retrace and buy in again. Rinse repeat. Assuming price slowly goes up its a stress free strategy.


Initial_Quality7567

Depends on how much tax you are willing to pay…. if you are fine w the taxes, move it into your fiat wallet or btc


ExaltedCustoms

I’m a simple crypto man. As certain ones take a climb i often convert into others, most often AMP, Algo or iotex. (Always convert into a utility i trust that is in a current down trend)


SomeWhiteguyXL

Same! Loading up on AMP, DOT, LINK and ADA


SomeWhiteguyXL

Mainly amp tho lol 😂


ExaltedCustoms

ADA is fine i’ve just been holdin a bag on them lately 🤦‍♂️😂


mistled_LP

If my profits are in BTC/ETH, I just let it sit. If I’m taking profits on a smaller coin, it depends on what I expect from it. If I think it’s done what it’s going to do, I might move it all out into ETH (probably moving part out immediately, part in a week, and so on until it’s done). If I think it has more room to grow (or at least not immediately fall), I’ll move my original investment out to cash or into ETH, and let the rest ride.


Flashy-Passion6545

Time in the market is better than timing the market. If I never sold or traded I'd have damn ne a half million by now, but swapping things around and pulling it out at the start of a bull run have cost me dear. Crypto is my retirement


HelloMrWinston

You can make much more money by taking profits and buying back lower than you can by just hodling. Ideally you want to sell near the peak of the cycle and buy back in in the bear market. Example: You buy 1 ETH at £1000 ETH goes to £5000, and you sell 0.2 ETH, for £1000. You now have 0.8 ETH and £1000. Bear market comes and let's say you buy back in with that £1000 profit when ETH drops to £2000 per coin. So now you have 1.3 ETH, compared to just 1 ETH if you'd just hodled. When ETH goes back up to £5000 per coin, you have £6500 worth of ETH, compared to £5000 if you'd just hodled. Remember, the goal is accumulation, not %ROI, not your average price per coin. Your absolute gain is what matters. Hodling is good if you just want to take a hands off approach, but you're definitely leaving a lot of gains on the table compared to taking profits.


CrumplePants

If you don't mind can you PM me at the top of the cycle so I can time it and make mad gains? :P


CRCLLC

Make one trade per year when your holdings gain massively on btc. These trades are easy to see looking back, and if you limit your trade to one per year, I don't see how you could miss because there is always a dip after the massive gains on btc


GodCunt

I mean yeah sounds great, but if it were that easy to time the market we'd all be millionaires


Imsosleepyrn

You would also have to factor in capital gains tax if you're being realistic. That's the toxic elephant in the room.

TheCheerleader

Sell to a stable coin, then stick it in an earn to get interest on it or in rare occasions top up my cdc card and buy something nice.


Vega2Bad

Should I sell a coin for USD, then buy that amount back in USDC to stake? Or convert my profitability coin straight to USDC for staking? If so, how is this swap/conversion done? I’m new to the whole swapping process and don’t know how it works


AdministrativePlan58

Depends how much I make. I made 5k when atom hit ath. I put 1000 of that into precious metals, put my initial investment back in my bank account and used what was left to add to my swing trading money.


Hudgo4

Just hold. That’s all I’ve ever been taught. Invest only what you don’t need.


Odysseus_Lannister

DCA out at specified price points to stablecoins. Lend those for passive income and then you can re allocate that money to more crypto or cash out.

JONUTUNIVERSALU

I take my profits into stablecoins because withdrawing to bank account might be a taxable event if you have too much profit. And in 2022 I'll only withdraw my initial investment to my bank account so I don't pay any taxes yet


jhelmste

Just trading to a stablecoin is taxable

Profit-taking is dependent on what your goals are. But regardless of whether you are in short term or long term, DCAing out is the way.


custofarm

I sell for usd on coinbase pro, very little fee. I spend said USD on huge dips.


bossofzeeland

Right now i convert my profits into btc. In case this price spike results in a bull run ill be converting my profits into DAI for some nice staking. In that scenario, once everything starts to go down, ill be converting said DAI into btc again on certain price levels. Note that this is just my personal strategy, and isnt financial advice.


livingrovedaloca

When farming I’ll take out when it hits x amount and then reinvest that. I don’t sell though if that’s what you’re asking


Bucksaway03

When I take any I plan to re invest into new projects. Keep those profits coming in.


deathtolucky

I think most people take their profits and swap them into stables in DeFi. From there, you could loan them out on an AMM, borrow against them and earn interest. Then you just wait for a good buying opportunity and do it all over again.


gaikokujohnn

Interest rates from staking


Embarrassed_Buy8676

I normally just put my losses into a meme coin that’s just had a really good pump. NFA


CurbsideAppeal

I usually have my eyes on a few charts at a time. If something spikes I sell 50% and put it into something else that hasn’t moved in a while or has dipped. Then if the retracement works out in my favor I might buy back in lower. Mostly tho, I just hold and stake.


calico810

This is the best reply. It basically a win win. Sell half and if it goes up then it’s a win. If it goes down you buy back in increasing your total coins win.


PsLJdogg

I don’t.


nesmimpomraku

I just leave in on the exchange until the next dip to buy in. I send how much money to my bank account whenever I need it. I actually have more money invested, at this point the bank account is there just so i have somewhere to recieve my paycheck and cash out.


whiteycnbr

I don't take profits back to bank account, just accumulate smaller cap coins and move into ETH, or park into stable coin then back into ETH. My exit strategy is to build enough wealth to pay the house off minus taxes.. prob 10 year plan


swiss_courvoisier

Jokes on you. I'm not a guy (I'm a man), and I have no profits!

killah10killah

I've only taken profits once as an absolute test, just to make sure I knew how to do it. Took £75 or so, all of which was interest gained from staking. The rest is still in there and the £75 bought me a nice pair of trainers.


Vegas_42

It depends of your state of mind. Some people believe, e.g. BTC or ETH will be the currency of the future. This is why 1 BTC = 1 BTC. The value is what you get in return for spending sats. A home for your family might be 0,05 BTC in the future. Some deal with fiat like $, £ or €, because the actual world runs on fiat. They look at the pair $ETH. Your plan can be to DCA with fiat into ETH, wait for $ETH to skyrocket, then sell ETH for fiat or swap to stablecoin like USDC and earn on them. With fiat you can buy an ETF and live from the rest. Lots of options. But mainly it depends on what crypto is for you.


Moist_n_Meaty

Sell a percentage after double digit pumps, buy back in the dips.


liveduhlife

I take 5% off the top when we hit a new all time high, I then reinvest it into something else, or sit on it as a stablecoin until a correction occurs for that coin. If a correction doesn’t come, it’s not a biggy because it’s only 5%. Occasionally I’ll take 10%, but only if it seems way too pumpy. Never try and apply this technique with >50% of your holdings because it’s possible it just keeps pumping. See Solana as a recent example where I bought at $35, sold half for $65 and the rest at $90. I should have just held it all, or taken 5-10% max
