Welcome to Crypto’s Version of the Wild West 2.0

I was thinking, how much is too much? Where is too much? How can I help others eliminate the issues that I feel exploring in my crypto investing journey. Its exciting but its also disheartening but it’s FUNNNNN!!!! Its fun to look forward to things. To experiences. Everything. The community is the MOST important thing you can create.

Creating the community or having a family is how you essentially survive in experiences like this. I want to discuss a project that I was invested in & I really believed in it but just like common investing, there are red flags that you really should be on a look out for.

Mononoke Inu was supposed or is supposed to be a P2E with an inside currency. Super cool, right? We have seen these games popping up more regularly, in fact I was seeing NEWS STORIES about games that people were making passive income. Like, wait? Why is it that Chad & the team are failing us so hard. Granted, I was the 60kth investor at the time & I understood there were a lot of whales, but why all the delays, why all the announcements yet crickets? It got to be frustrating but then I started noticing something, when there was major sell offs, mind you I had been in since November. I can trace, follow, etc. (Proof I sold & held my place)

It felt like the team would put out evasive but if you are trying to believe in something, you’ll grasp at anything. I literally watched my investment go from $2,000 to $765 & mind you again, I had enough to be on the to 1k holders, which I will show. I believed in this project, but when is enough, enough?

I’m here to discuss, this is Crypto Wild West 2.0. This time, we have faster access to whatever our brains come up with.

There are some tips and thoughts in hindsight with these projects. No, I am not an irrational person but I do have needs and ambitions. It’s not to be tied to one project for a long time. It feels like Mononoke Inu’s team is taking advantage. I invested even when I was tanking, so again? The question remains. How can this be prevented. How can you really identify the projects potential & really be able to decipher what is considered a bag vs what you can handle. For the team’s sake, more honesty & transparency would’ve kept me there. I want their project to be a KILLER project & outcome. There’s no saying I won’t be back, just not at this time.

I get the, “Don’t invest what you don’t have.” Trust me, I didn’t. I highly suggest you start networking. Asking questions, but let the answers guide where you will go. Are you into flashy items or can you handle a steady up tick? I personally love a GREAT risk for a GREAT project. I am still trying to figure it out, but the common sense train is here

  1. You don’t invest what you don’t have. You know this already, right?
  2. When the project isn’t updating as often, take that as a sign that it’s not as serious as you are.
  3. Scrutinize the chat rooms, the communication. Does it seem they only come out when there’s a lot of sell off and money being pulled out. In my experience, it’s often a very disorganized team or one lacking MAJOR communication. (I have been here. I love delving into new projects & quite frankly, I don’t always think everything through) That’s a COMMON mistake that happens, then you become a scam or ostracized because remember, you are dealing with a VAST majority who don’t understand, don’t know what’s going on. So when so & so tells the other, it spirals out of goodness or it can go very bad. This major flaw creates dissent & many bagholders & an abandoned project, therefore in my eyes a rug pull.
  4. Look at where you are in the project. I know this is highly debatable but I am under the extreme confidence where your place is and what type of traction a project is getting is where we are going to be headed. I have been in #shibvinci & a few others since it was under a 1k holders. It may hit moments, but its steady in its stream, up.

You want to be aware, have a small group of like minded friends who you follow & they see what you are trying to achieve, right? Let go when you need to. I am happy to help you understand the process.

This is the time where you can literally take $2,500 or $5,000 or hell even $500 to start & become very wealthy in crypto, like stupid wealthy. Don’t let Aunt Irma/Uncle Ned dissuade you otherwise, they had their time. It’s your time to live your best life. You just have to learn to understand beyond the red flag. Remember, this isn’t your family drama that you have to hold on to. This is your financial journey, your financial choices, and beyond that. You want to really get in deep. Understand this because we are all so wet behind the ears with comprehending how everything really works.
