clueless retard here - do you make more money leaving money in a crypto before you take profit or can you take a bunch of smaller amounts of profit out on the way up and still end up with the same amount as you would have if you waited and took out all the profit at once?
5 min later 28770326 Anonymous
for example
>person 1 buys a coin at $1
>coin goes to $5
>person 1 takes all profit
>person 2 buys a coin at $1
>coin goes to $5
>person 2 takes profit at $2, $3, $4 and $5
do person 1 and person 2 make the same amount of profit

logic would tell me that you gain more if you leave it all in and take all profit at once in the end, otherwise why do people just let coins rise without taking out profit the entire time. besides fees, but you can use an exchange and not pay fees.

yes...
the reason people take some out is because sometimes the coin doesn't go up and it goes down and you just lost more than you would have, if you would have taken some out every once in a while

Your fundamental understanding of what you're even doing is wrong. When you buy a coin, stock, or apple, you are buying the coin, stock, or apple. When the price goes up, you have to sell a coin, stock, or apple to get to your profits. Then if the price changes again, you no longer have the coin, stock, or apple.

sorry lemme explain better

it goes up to $1.20
you gained 10 cents of profit
you convert 0.1 of the coin to tether
it goes up to $1.30
you convert 0.1 of the coin to tether
etc
it's the same as
a coin is worth $1.10
you buy 1
it goes up to $1.30
you gained 20 cents of profit
you convert 0.2 of the coin to tether
you don't gain more profit doing one thing over the other

Person 1, assuming everything says constant. Profits - 0.01 (+1), 0.03 (+2) - Still invested: .8 coin. So if person 1 sells the rest at +3, their total profits are 8 *.03 = .24 plus previous profits = .27
Person 2 profits - 0.0 (+0), 0.04 (+4). Total remaining coin = .8. If they also sold at the next bump, their potential profits are also .24 + other profits = .28.
Dumb fuck

I'm referring to profit as any money you made that wasn't part of the initial investment
so you start with $1 and it becomes $1.20 the profit is just the 20 cents

Going to your retarded example, the person who takes .2 of the coin to tether has made .2 of 20 cents, or .04 cents profits. The first person only made .03 cents for the same .2 of the coin. This is excluding fees.

in many ways though, .8 is the better "position" to take in a coin, since it's more divisible.

You also mistakenly thought that you got the full price difference for a fractional sale-- you assumed .10 cents and .20 cents instead of the actual profit, which is coin amount * price.

I teach high school students and while OP is legitimately stupid, he at least eventually had some kind of mental clarity or "ah ha!" happen. Some people's gears just turn forever and they can never conceptualize the abstract. It's like the whole thing with a baby where you give them two glasses of water with the same amount and then pour one into a taller, thinner glass. Then you ask them which has more water and they pick the taller, thinner glass. Their little brains just can't understand.

anon, the point is that person 1 in your example sells 0.2 of their coin, whereas person 2 sells only 0.1. meaning person 2 has in fact not only made 20 cents profit but still has 0,1 [coin] more than person 1, thus has made a profit of 40 ceents, should he choose to sell.
