Trend Following

Trend following in cryptocurrency involves using historical data to make informed decisions about buying and selling. Brian Krogsgard explains that this strategy relies on moving averages, such as the 20-day and 200-day averages, to guide both tactical and long-term decisions 1. He highlights the importance of having a solid plan and avoiding analysis paralysis by focusing on key indicators 1. Ryan Adams appreciates the long-term perspective of trend following, noting that it helps investors stay grounded in their strategies 2.

People sometimes like to troll trend following, but if you look at legacy markets, this stuff works on a historical basis very well.

This approach can be particularly useful in volatile markets, where sticking to a plan can prevent emotional decision-making.

   

Crypto Pyramid

The cryptocurrency pyramid model offers a multi-layered approach to trading and investing. David Hoffman describes the pyramid's structure, with traders at the top, momentum investors in the middle, and long-term investors forming the base 3. This model helps explain the volatility within crypto markets, as traders often move between assets, while long-term investors focus on fundamentals 3. Brian Krogsgard emphasizes the importance of denominating returns in assets like ETH or Bitcoin, aligning with one's fundamental beliefs 4.

If I don't accomplish the goal of getting more ETH out of that bargain, then I didn't do a very good job.
