The gerund after prepositions

When using any verb after a preposition, you must `ALWAYS` use it as a GERUND, and not in any other form. 

For example:


·         “They are planning on arriving at midday.”


·         “He’s not very good at speaking in public.”


Ø  In the same way, when using a phrasal verb, you must also use the GERUND. Phrasal verbs are verbs formed in conjunction with a preposition or an adverb.


For example:

·         “Those children will grow up behaving very badly.”

·         “We have had to put off going on our holiday this year.”

·         “They are planning on arriving at midday.”

·         “He’s not very good at speaking in public.”


Ø  De la misma manera, al usar un phrasal verb, también debes usar el GERUNDIO. Los phrasal verbs son verbos que se forman junto con una preposición o un adverbio.


For example:

·         “Those children will grow up behaving very badly.”

·         “We have had to put off going on our holiday this year.”

More Than Half of Bitcoin Investors Are in the Red, Study Says

By Rob Curran / February 10, 2022

The internet abounds in tales of overnight crypto millionaires. But making a killing – or even any money at all may be a lot harder than it looks. Just how hard? According to one recent estimate, more than half of Bitcoin investors have lost money trading the cryptocurrency.

 

The trick to any investment is buying low and selling high. Nothing has demonstrated that axiom more clearly than Bitcoin, where early investors, sometimes ____ buying in for just pennies on a lark, saw their investments balloon into the millions or even billions of dollars. But, ____ Bitcoin becoming a mainstream asset, those easy money days are gone.

 

Lately Bitcoin’s price has hovered in the low $40,000s. That’s several times what it was in 2020, but well below its 2021 record of more than $60,000. The problem: Thousands of investors only jumped in recently when Bitcoin’s price – and hype were at all-time highs. 

Feeling less confident ____ managing your own investments? 

As of Feb. 8, roughly 55% of Bitcoin investors were underwater, according to cryptocurrency investment firm 21Shares. That’s actually an improvement from several weeks ago, when Bitcoin was trading about $35,000. At that time, more than two out of every three Bitcoin investors were in the red, according to 12Shares' Head of Research Eli Ndinga.

21Shares’ insights into Bitcoin investors are thanks to the transparent nature of the blockchain, the digital ledger technology that underpins Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies.

 

“Each address has essentially a timestamp attached to the transaction, so if you bought in 2014, we would know that [someone] bought at 5pm CDT on a certain day two bitcoin, and that’s your cost basis,” says Ndinga. By collating all such timestamps, Ndinga’s firm can aggregate the cost basis for every bitcoin transaction on record.

 

The timestamps reveal the difficulty ____ investing in Bitcoin. To turn a long-term profit, you must ride ____ gut-wrenching short-term losses.
