Ive seen many times on this forum statements like:
"trading is risky, holding is safer"
"when you are hodling you are not making that much mistakes"
"in trading there are much more possibilities to loose money"
"if you would buy ether for 1$ look where you could be now"
"Hodler is not affected by whales making pump and dump"

Lets discuss then how does investing time goes with risk taken (lets discuss only about risk).

Hodler strategy risk:

Hodler is buying coins by fundamental (whitepaper, team, code, hype, being unique in specific segment) analysis for very long period. Hodling is a strategy very often sugested for newbies in cryptos (when you are newbie than buy good coins and sell on profit after years - I heard it thousands time). What can possibly go wrong?

1- whitepaper is just a document with words. It can be copierd and change a little. Faked. I can create myown whitepaper in which ill write that tommorow ill be on mt everest.
2-team can be faked with fake twitter account with bought fallowers
3- code - who of us can check if code is ok? How many of currencies have working code now? Most of them are just concept without working product jet.
4- hype can be bought.
5- beeing uniqe dasnt give you certainty of beeing uniqe forever. 1 month after your investment there can be new ICO with better team, bought hype and with working product delivered faster.
6- you are newbie and you did fundamential analys wrong or didnt do at all just jump after hype or because someone said that its great investment
7- there are 1600 coins. More than 1400 wont survive next few years because they are not neseesary. Your decision must be precised and full of luck

What if any of above will happend? Your investment will contiously goes to 0. And if you are hodler you will never sell until there will be nothing to sell. When you are buying with hodler strategy you are risking 100% of your investment. I dont think there is more risky way.

Trader

Good trader have loved coins that he checked fundametaly and trade on them. He is trying to buy low and sell high. When trade is not going how he planned it he sells. He dont w8 for coin to hit bottom to panic sell, he try to sell on the rise. His risk is set by him by stoplos which is set in his trading strategy.  And it depends on time period he is investing in and expected profits. He dont fallow pump and dump.

Time period:

When trader see good buy oportunity on 1d candles he has to set stoploss lower, he takes bigger risk then but possible profit is bigger.
When he see oportunity on 5 min candle he can set stoploss even 0,5% under buy point risking only 0,5% of his investment.

Trader is taking known risk each time he enters trade and this risk i related to expected profits. When trades are not going well he can stop trading, lock money into bitcoin or usd and change strategy. Hodler takes unknows risk - up to 100% - for unknown profit. With hope that his analysis was good and data wasnt faked. He also dont have chance to learn investing becouse after first buy decision there is only hodl

Hello All

this Topic will be updated whenever i see something on charts worth saying
-------------------

BTC/USD

weekly & daily upcoming movement
** this predication was on 18 March, that it will reverse from 7655 (here i used the price not the reverse time, i bought from a good support and didn't wait the reversal time on April 1st)


**TP means Take Profit=Target
** Vertical line on April 1st
-----------------------------------

it's started already moving up targeting first Daily TP on 9775, the expected movement that it's going to achieve the daily TP1 then start moving sideways (tending to go down but it will not break the support at 8620)
then on the reversal time (April 1st) it will go up again targeting the daily TP2 10904 & Weekly TP1 12460

Good luck to you All

Do you think it will be the best time to sell as there are two kind of speculations one says the value of bitcoin will reach $20,000 by 2018 and there are also speculations that the bitcoin might go through a dump in upcoming days but i know we cannot believe into random predictions by random users due to the volatility of bitcoin but i need some suggestions whether to hold on to bitcoin or sell it out and invest some of it into altcoins and then wait for the price drop to reinvest into bitcoin which i am not sure will happen or not.

Im a newbie both in this forum and the cryptocurrency subject, so I had been reading a lot and studying in the last couple weeks.But I still have some doubts. I always see people saying that there is a bubble in the bitcoin market and that there are many people who own big ammounts of bitcoins and can manipulate the market, so i dont know if now its a good time for a person who doesnt own any bitcoins yet to start buying then (i planned to hold them for a long time, not trading beetwenn exchanges) or if i should wait more. I also see fear about corrections and dont know well how those work and if they have an specific time to happen. Anyway, sorry for my bad english and thank you for the replies, even though I know im te only one responsable for my money.

What's your opinion on buying new emerging coins that are not yet on top and cost less than 1 dollar?
How do you decide whether they have potential to grow or not?

I was wondering what's minimum / ideal amount of BTC or ETH I should have in order to start trading activity

If you have any idea or just want to share your first experience in crypto trading, feel free to write them bolow

please tell which is best coin for long term investments[/b][/i]

Bitcoin Daily Update.
Sideways movement after the high volatility move yesterday.

Resistances & Supports.
Resistances - ​Same levels as yesterday.
A bounce here would set our sights on an intermediate resistance at $7.0k created by the previous low.

Should price break $7k we will look at the resistance from $7.7-7.9k as our next major target.

Supports  - Same levels as yesterday.
The next support zone is derived from the previous local bottom at $6.7-6.4k. This zone also lines up with a fib level drawn all the way back from the correction to $3k.

A break below $6.4k will likely see price fall to new lows. A very strong support zone for this scenario would be at $5.8-5.5k.

Longterm, the previous top at $5k is an obvious buy level, with added support down below it to $4.7k.

Ichimoku Cloud.
The 1H cloud is now showing a tenkan kijun disequilibrium, which will likely result in a reactionary move, causing these two indicators to be closer to one another. In this case this move would be to the upside, giving the probability of a retrace upwards added weight.

Oscillators.
What we do see on the 1H RSI is a hidden bearish divergence, which suggests continued downside. Although, this is a lower time frame divergence and nothing that would cause an extreme move.

 
Conclusion
Just as low volatility precedes high volatility, the reverse can be said as well. We see that occurring at the moment as price rests following the high energy move we saw yesterday. It is likely we see a retrace (bounce) upwards to stabilize the price action and capture any missed volatility from the large liquidation event yesterday which left a gap in market structure.

Getting a little bit confuse here. What Does it means by day trading and are any advantages and disadvantages in day trading. Thanks

I have been in the market for awhile, and always hear the same mantra about trading to hold more Bitcoin and not Fiat.  I bought into the same mentality for a long time, but I'm changing my tune.  In almost every industry, first generation leaders are replaced by competition.  From Sears, Kmart, Nokia, Motorola, Yahoo, MySpace, etc.  Although Bitcoin is the current crypto reserve currency, I think that its dominance is threatened by ALT coins with faster, cheaper transactions and greater scalability.  What do you think?  Is it smart to hold Bitcoin as a long-term investment, or are there better choices among the ALT coins like Ethereum or Litecoin?

I am a newbie to BTC field.I have little little bit of BTC amount(around $14).Is it enough to trading altcoins.IF it is what are the sutable altcoins

Hi, I am a crypto-hamster and bought bitcoin when it cost 17,000 and decided to trade on the Bitfinex exchange withe margin.
In this business I was not experienced, so I followed the advice of different traders and their signals.
In the end I lost 10 thousand dollars when bitcoin fell to 6k , but it was money that I was ready to lose, i.e. free.
Now I do not have the desire to trade, but I want to earn money on crypto currency, because it's interesting and I believe that the future is for the crypto currency.
Now I want to try to make money on bounty programs.
And I want to ask you advice in this difficult matter. Where to start, and is it profitable at all?

If I lost most of my capital in one coin, I will hold the first to coin it up again, whether it can be called trading or not?
Give your opinion

The unsuccessful attempt leaves a small hope for a second growth and a break through the psychologically important level.
