What I find interesting is that many people's first contact and first impression of a circle, field or concept will have a great impact on their later learning and investment.
For example, the first coin that many people bought in the circle in those years was not bitcoin, but a mainstream currency or a counterfeit currency, which would be very emotional. Even after being cut for a long time, I can't forget it.
So first impressions, or first impressions, are really important. When many people enter the circle, the people who take you into the circle and your first investment in the circle have a great impact on you. As soon as you come in, you are friends who are speculating in Shanzhai. Few of you can get out of the Shanzhai circle. As soon as you come in, you are making contracts. Basically, you are staying in the trading circle.
Of course, there's nothing bad about it. There's never a steady profit or loss in investment. There's always a profit or loss.
It's just that if the goal is to buy bitcoin instead of hoarding it, the most important thing is not to encounter other things in the process.
Because your original intention is to buy bitcoin and sell it at a higher price, then the best situation is to buy, hold and sell.
The things that attract you in the middle, the temptation of other currencies, the desire for short-term speculation, the attraction of high leverage of contracts, etc. they have no problem. But if your original intention is to buy and hold money for a long time, then they have a big problem, and you have to avoid it.
In fact, the first impression is very important at this time. Many people walk away from the moment when they open the exchange to buy the currency. This is also the difference between the first impression of Chinese and Americans on the special currency I want to talk about today.
Anyway, the reason why I talked about this topic today is that I saw this tweet some time ago:
Another company of twitter CEO jack, the app called cash, is a mainstream tool for Americans to buy bitcoin. Now he has made two improvements, one is to provide the option of "fixed investment", the other is to start the purchase with "sats" as the unit. (to tell you the truth, 100000 sats is less than $10. It's really cheap. If it's me, I'd like to buy a lot. )
It's a good choice to take sats as a unit. I also suggest that China's domestic exchanges and overseas exchanges can follow up, ha ha.
But today's theme is not this. I want to talk about how you feel about this interface and app. Is it different from when you buy money?
This app can be understood as Alipay. It can also be understood as cloud flash payment. It is probably the American "e-cash tool". Buying bitcoin is not the most mainstream scenario.
However, with the development of bitcoin and the promotion of Jack, the CEO of square cash (also the CEO of twitter), their bitcoin sales are soaring
According to this trend, it is estimated that there will be no problem for Q2 to buy 100000 in a quarter. If you want to know the bitcoin production after halving, it will be 81000 in a quarter.
So Americans buy bitcoins on Cash App. The analogy is that you buy bitcoins on Alipay and exist on Alipay, so the impression is indeed that when you buy tips on the stock exchange, you turn to coin accounts better (compared to hoarding coins).
I do not know if you have bought a fund or similar financial products, there are generally two channels, one is transfer to stock app (like Hua Shun) in the securities account, enter the stock code purchase; two is directly in Alipay and other channels to buy.
These two channels buy the same things, but for investors, the perception is very different. In the non securities channels such as Alipay, it is generally easier to buy, because most of them do not have the idea of "speculation", but rather as a financial management, they just buy it and do not think about it in the next few days, because buying has to wait for a few days, and redemption has to wait for a few days.
It doesn't feel like it's used to "hype", but as a buy, put and sell for a long time in the future.
Because the first time I contacted the fund was through Alipay, my perception of the fund is an investment product instead of something that can be fry.
I think this is the same as buying bitcoin at home and abroad. They buy bitcoins in a place similar to Alipay, that is, they do not buy bitcoins in a place where they can provide the environment for speculation. They are bought as a financial product.
Even many times, the mentality of many people to buy is no different from that of buying something. For example, the figure below shows that someone overseas bought bitcoin after "rebate" a little money
In China, it's the exchange that buys. After buying, it prompts you whether you want to transfer to the currency account or contract account, rather than whether you want to take it away. The first impression is that it's poor.
On the whole, the channels for purchasing bitcoin in the United States are more comprehensive, and exchanges tend to buy bitcoin and put it aside, without obvious speculation and contract guidance.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the guidance of domestic exchanges. They are all commercial activities. Of course, I think it's best that the exchange will pop up a prompt "withdraw the coin immediately" after the legal currency area has bought bitcoin, but this is obviously unrealistic.
There is no right or wrong, just talk about the difference between home and abroad in this point, which should be one of the reasons why overseas investors can hold the currency better. Maybe many overseas investors don't know about "currency speculation", "leverage" and "contract opening" at all, and they don't know what the so-called altcoin is. They only know that it's OK to buy bitcoin. They can buy bitcoin on the platform they are familiar with, and then put it on.
Just like when I bought a fund, I found that there was a "floor fund" after buying for a long time, which could be the same as stock speculation. Fortunately, I don't know. Otherwise, it is estimated that the fund speculation was as clean as the stock speculation.
Sometimes it's not true that the more you know about investment, the better. Many people who make money from investment know how to buy a house without knowing anything, or know how to buy Tesla without knowing anything, or know how to buy bitcoin without knowing anything. Many of the coins that used to come down were bought in those years and kept for many years when they didn't understand anything. The more money mixed in the circle, the less
Sad to say, in a word, many times investment really depends on life, what you don't know most often happens, the more you know, the more you lose. I think the most important thing is not to forget the original intention. If you want to hold the coin, you should hold it well. Don't fry it. If you want to fry the coin, you should fry it well. Don't have any faith.
If you don't forget the original intention, you can return to the original.
