You don't have to wait for altcoins season or even bitcoin bullrun to promote good bounty projects ,some good projects do bounty in bear market and some when bitcoin start surging ,don't let this be your focus to avoid missing out

i agree there is no best time to promote a bounty , just promote and join it when you saw a good one thats it
and one point is who would even know when does altcoin season will happen again...

106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I don't know Bitcoin is, I just know It is taking away the lives of family on: July 13, 2019, 02:35:32 PM
Today I will be allowed to spread my heart because perhaps there is almost no way to solve it. I just want to ask what Bitcoin is, what Dice is, and why it ruins my family like that.

I am the eldest brother of a poor family in Asia. My parents struggled and there was almost no time to rest, to earn a thousand dollars a year, which meant almost 2 dollars a day to sustain life. However, our life is still going on normally and I never stop happy when I think about my family. My younger brother and I, who are 2 years younger than me, at age 15 tried to work. However, the disaster happened to my family for 2 years. I don't understand why my brother could change and do such terrible things. Every night our family could not sleep. I don't understand when he learns something like bitcoin, or Dice, and since then he burned money for such things. I did not understand those things, and what it was but allowed me to despise them for breaking my family. He took everything away and that was contributing to killing his sister. While my little sister has suffered from a respiratory illness since she was a child, for many years our family has worked almost without rest so that she can treat her every month. You can understand almost the whole year we don't eat restaurants. Each family member for 1 year only bought 2 sets of work clothes, almost ten years without a holiday for the whole family. Everything saves to let my sister be healed. That's what we are motivated to never give up.

So you know, but the amount of savings in years now has disappeared. Our whole family could not eat and could not sleep. And the most heartbreaking thing that made us want to die was that my brother stole that money for Bitcoin Dice. He said that he wanted to invest, wanted to give his sister enough money to treat once until the end. Want a better life for the family. After that, it lost and eventually lost nothing. Despite my sister's regular treatment time, it was close.

My mother could not bear it, she thought she had lost her two children once. A sick daughter is deprived of her treatment, and a boy has turned into a devil. my mother is currently unable to walk and can only stay in bed. My father and I were like two small trees in the middle of a great storm. Today, some strangers came to the house to look for my brother to ask for money, and people took away many of the furniture to replace his debt, of course he escaped. My sister has long been optimistic and has fun in life. I know her pain and she always wants to give up, but she tries for her father, for her mother, for her brother. The opportunity to heal is difficult, but the opportunity for ill health is no longer available, and today the belief in everything to find is even harder. He left and left the darkest things for his family. Sometimes I wonder if he is still human? Should I kill him if I find him.

Today, I am no longer awake. And maybe I have no way to change everything. I just wish there was a miracle for my sister to have a chance tomorrow, she had suffered so many disadvantages since she was born. I wish I could exchange my life and health for her. I'm really exhausted. I was so tired that I could not live in this world.




i really felt you,please know that i will be praying for your sister and your mother's health, May the Lord heal them.
We are all going through something in life , but losing hope is not an option  still do your best to help your family.
I hope your brother could fight his addiction over gambling and be able to put his life back together. Just always pray for your brother too
I think he is tired too and just wanted to provide money too in the faster way he thought he could but the problem is he was not able to control his emotion and got addicted to it. The intention is good but the action is not.
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What are you buying now? on: July 13, 2019, 01:44:21 PM
Ethereum is having a hard time moving up compare to Bitcoin, but there's a double bottom and a nice bullish divergence now.
 probably we will see a nice bounce soon! and i guess ill buy some BNB and DENT too.
108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will IEO be good in the future? on: July 12, 2019, 01:51:36 PM
I have now some money but still earning to invest more in an IEO. I have heard celer IEO and investor get x6 of its investment. I was move away by this profit in an instant, i want also so i keep money, my question is after all good feedback of IEO, will IEO be like Ico which failed in the market or will IEO be last longer?

 i think IEO's are more reliable than ICO's , i am participating at Binance IEO's and i think the rule in their Launchpad is fair to all Binance traders
 and the fact that it benefits Bnb coin i guess it would be good for the future of binance as well to its customers.

110  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Pinoy takot paren sa crypto-investing? on: July 11, 2019, 03:27:26 PM
Since most of the topic na nakikita ko are about the tips, suggestions, and guidelines now I just want to have some good conversation, opinions, debate or what about sa mga crypto topics.

Ang cryptomarket ay patuloy sa pag-angat, and every year marame ang nangyayare dito sa market kasama naren ang mga hacking incidents, at scammers.

Sa mga nakikita mo, sa tingin mo bakit takot parin ang mga pinoy na mag invest? Kulang ba sila sa kaalaman o sadyang hinde lang sila open minded lalo na sa mga investment opportunities especially on cryptomarket?

Let's be honest on our opinion kase recently i asked my friend to invest sa bitcoin lalo na ngayon na nagsisimula na ulit itong umangat at ang sinabe nya lang sakin ay hinde pa sya handa and hinde pa sya willing matuto, so nagulat lang ako kase mukang hinde talaga sya open for any investment knowing naman na maganda ang work nya. I just want to know kung nakaencounter naren ba kayo ng ganito?

Dalawa lang ang naiisip kong dahilan bakit nagkakaroon ng wall sa pinoy kapag bitcoin or crypto na ang topic
Una konti lang dito sa bansa natin ang nakakaalam tungkol sa crypto at sa kalahati ng konti na yun ay kaunti lang din ang nalalaman
pangalawa yung kalahati na yun na kaunti  lang ang alam eh ang pagkakaalam sa bitcoin is scam yung tipong yung reaksyon nila is " ay Bitcoin  di ba nasa news yan ang dami na nascam dyan eh.
111  Economy / Economics / Re: The Risks and Rewards of Cryptocurrencies on: July 10, 2019, 05:01:18 PM
BBC recently did a interview around the volatility of cryptocurrencies. I think we are still so early in this industry but I would love to know your thoughts about where we are going and how you think the landscape will change.

People in the podcast include:

Marc Warne, Founder, Bittylicious
Jemima Kelly, reporter, FT Alphaville
Dave Jevans, CEO, CipherTrace


https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000676m

the risk and reward level in crypto really depends on the traders control of emotions thats what i think aside from the given knowledge of course
but too much excitement might push you to go FOMO or invest more that what you afford to loose and on the other end having patience might give you enormous reward
112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Please read my story on: July 10, 2019, 04:31:11 PM
My name is Valentin. I am a 51 years old physicist engineer. I like the bitcoin and what bitcoin has done until now. But bitcoin has also not very good aspects.  

 The bitcoin ticker is BTC. Where I am in Eastern Europe BT were some famous cigars made in Bulgaria 50 years ago. When i was a child everyone was smoking starting with the age of 7 (years old). I am not joking, this is true.

My father was an MD, my mother is an MD. They cured thousands of men of tuberculosis. I have not followed them as an MD because every day when I was a child I was listening for 3 hours for the medical conditions that they had to cure that day.

My mother says that what goes around comes around in medicine. Because the ticker of the bitcoin resembles the cigarettes in the Eastern europe, bitcoin is bad.  One can get intoxicated by simply reading the bitcoin ticker BTC.

 90% of the people in this world do not know what bitcoin is. It is sufficient for them to come to you smoking, believing that they make you a good thing. You will become afraid of them. I experienced myself this fear.




kinda weird topic hmmm are you pertaining to something you think good from the beginning but sooner it might cause you something bad, thats the comparison that i understand that you are pointing. But obviously from the start you know smoking is bad for you and i really cannot think of something good you can get from it , compare to BTC  people invest in it because they see something good and positive outcome from it.
113  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 Stop Loss Mistakes To Avoid on: July 09, 2019, 01:29:00 PM
This is not financial advice and I am not a financial advisor. I’m sure there’re plenty of licenced professionals in your jurisdiction. Speak to them, not strangers on the internet with Hyman Minsky avatars.

A stop loss order is an order to close a position at a certain price point/percentage in order to limit one’s losses.
As the name suggests, one uses a stop in order to limit one’s losses where a trade idea is unsuccessful.
Using a stop loss is an important pillar of risk management. This is why any (sensible) book, webinar, mentorship, guru, and so on will emphasise the importance of using a stop when trading.
Somewhat paradoxically, poor stop placement and management can cost you a lot of money.
We’ve all been there: a candle wick triggers your stop, knocks you out of a trade, and price proceeds to hit your exact target but without you on board.
In this article, I’ll cover five common errors pertaining to stop placement and management to avoid (in no particular order).


1. Not Determining your Stop Placement in Advance

You should know where your stop is going to be before you open a trade.
The same goes for your entry and target(s).
As soon as the trade is live and you’re seeing your p&l fluctuate, you’ll find every single reason in existence to stay in the market.
The benefit of ascertaining your stop before you open a trade is that it removes any emotions from the decision, because you haven’t yet risked any of your capital. You’re simply looking at a chart.
Additionally, if you don’t have a predetermined stop and the market starts moving against you with the full threatening force of big, scary Japanese candlesticks, there’s a much higher likelihood that you market puke the position without considering whether your trade idea has actually been invalidated.
There’s no point ‘winging’ your stop — decide where you’re wrong before you open a position.



2. Placing your Stop Based on Arbitrary Numbers

The market doesn’t care about your R:R, some magic number 2% away from your entry, or some other bullshit figure.
One of the gravest errors you can commit is to try to make the market fit your framework as opposed to fit your framework to the market.
While it’d be very convenient if there were some magic number or equation one could apply to get pristine stop placement, no such thing exists (to my knowledge).
Therefore, when it comes to deciding where to place your stop loss, that decision should be predicated on technical analysis.
Stop placement should not be predicated on some magic price level which meets a certain percentage or gives you your desired R:R. The market doesn’t care for that.


3. Moving your Stop to Break Even/Marginal Profit ASAP

The purpose of a stop is to protect you if your trade idea doesn’t work out. The purpose of a stop is not, I submit, to render a trade “risk-free” the moment it moves in your favour.
This is a logical corollary to the argument that your stop ought to be based on technical analysis.
Most people would agree that one’s stop should be based on technicals, yet happily move their stop to break even/marginal profit if it moves in their favour.

This is contradictory.

Moving your stop to break even/marginal profit is similar to calculating your stop placement based on arbitrary numbers (the argument preceding this one).
The market doesn’t care where you entered and where you’re break even. The moment you arbitrarily move your stop to be “safe” you also abandon a technical-based approach to the position (unless, of course, your break even happens to coincide with a technically significant level).
Why would you abandon or alter your trade idea simply because it locks in a break even/slight profit?
The question to ask yourself is this: if I didn’t have a position, and price moved to my break even/marginal profit stop, would I consider that to be a key area/invalidation level?
If the answer is a resounding no (as it often is) then you have just demonstrated that getting out of the trade at that point is an arbitrary decision.

Instead, your stop loss should go where you’re decisively wrong on your trade idea. If you’re making an entry, you should be able to point and tell me “if price goes above/below X, then my reasons for entering the trade will have been disproved by the market and then I am almost certainly wrong on my idea”.

If you can’t do that, you probably shouldn’t be taking an entry.



Stick to your guns, believe in your original trading plan, and let the market prove to you that you’re wrong by hitting your original stop loss if it moves against you.
Unthinkingly moving to break even all the time is lazy trading and effectively abandoning your own technical analysis.


4. Setting your Stop at Pockets of Liquidity
There are certain price structures that are regularly raided for liquidity before the market reverses.
In order to gain an understanding of how order flow, liquidity, and all that fun stuff operates in markets, I humbly suggest watching my video on order flow.
The summary is this: avoid placing your stop loss directly above/below: key swing highs/lows and clean equal highs/lows, because there is a good chance the market will trade through them before reversing.
You can do this exercise yourself: open a price chart of the market(s) you trade and mark out the key swing points, range high/lows, and clean equal highs/lows.
In most cases you’ll see that price has a tendency to trade through those structures before moving in the opposite direction. Traders with stops above/below such structures get knocked out of their positions before the market continues in their expected direction without them.

How do you protect yourself from being hunted?

There’s no easy way to do it, which is part of the reason it’s so effective in every market.
This is especially true if you mostly use self-executing orders and you’re not at your screen watching price as it comes into those key areas.

The tip can be summarised thus: don’t place your stop in really obvious places.

Deep and obvious swing points, range boundaries, and equal wicks stand out like a sore thumb, and that is why they’re often targeted during runs on liquidity — because it is tempting to use them as a reference point when leaving orders in the market.
So, the least you can do for yourself is to leave some space between your stop and one of the aforementioned structures, to allow price to wick through the high/low without knocking you out alongside it.
Give it some breathing room (especially if your market spikes often) and certainly avoid, where possible, leaving your stop right on top/under an alluring wick.



5. Never Moving your Stop


As mentioned, the purpose of a stop is to protect your account if your trade idea is incorrect. However, once the market proves to you that your trade idea may be accurate as it moves in the expected direction, your stop can be used protectively to maintain a good R:R as price heads towards target.
Wait, Cred. Isn’t that a contradiction? You’ve just told me to trust my stop and that I’m an asshole if I move it, and now you’re telling me to move it?
Yes I am, and there’s no contradiction.
If you blindly move your stop to break even/marginal profit as soon as you can, that’s an arbitrary decision which isn’t based on technicals or the market proving anything to you.
If you move your stop as the market proves that it’s moving in the expected direction e.g. as it starts to break down, that’s a decision based on technicals and a way to maintain a good R:R as price heads towards your target.
The difference should be clear. The former is an emotional decision to feel “safe”. The latter is taking active measures based on technicals to maintain a good R:R as price moves towards target.
For example: it is common to start moving one’s stop after a thrust move/momentum candle in the expected direction in acknowledgement that buyers/sellers have stepped in at that area, and that price has no real reason to go back below/above it. This is quite different from moving to a break even/marginal profit stop as soon as price moves away from entry.

So let’s get to the substance.

By moving your stop I mean moving it stop up (if you’re long)/down (if you’re short) as price makes its way to your target.
The reason for doing so is relatively simple: the market has no obligation to hit your exact target for the trade, and by moving your stop you preclude a winning trade from turning into a break even or losing one.

Take the example above.

When entering the outlined trade, you have an R:R of 2:1 (or 2R). As price starts to break down, let’s assume you move your stop to break even/marginal profit to be “safe”. Price comes close to your target , but you don’t get filled and it starts reversing (blue circle). At that point (blue circle area), you can recalculate your R:R to see if it is at least reasonable.
As you can see in the example, if you do not move your stop at all, you risk giving back ~1.8R to the market for a reward of just 0.2R. In other words, if you do not move your stop at all, your R:R becomes disproportionately poor if price fails to reach target and comes back to take out your break even stop.
There is no such thing as a free trade — that’s simply money you’re giving back to the market.
Just like before, the market has no obligation to hit your target. Moving your stop is how you still make money even if your target selection is imperfect, as will often be the case.
Don’t be arrogant — it’s foolish to let a good trade turn into a break even just because you were waiting for your exact target. The market owes you nothing, and it doesn’t care where your exact target is.
Be dynamic with your stops as the trade progresses, maintain a reasonable R:R throughout the trade, and you can still make money without timing the exact point where the market turns.


I'm not the author of this article I confused some trend (use stop-loss)first you decided How much percent you profit and lose to make.
If you have a Better idea about uses stop-loss, then you can share.

Thanks the informations are very helpful , ive been trading since 2017 but i admit im the type to hold coins i do not sell coins when it pass down my buy zone and i never used Stop limit or even trail stop but just now , i just realized the big importance of this.
Traders should really keep on learning and never limit the chances of getting profit because of naive emotion. Use SL guys Wink
114  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: the difference between Libra and Bitcoin on: July 09, 2019, 11:42:28 AM
i really think that Libra coin is not a competition to Bitcoin
i think dollar should be more alarm about the Libra coin i saw a post regarding a letter to congress to facebook
citing libra coin might destabilize US economy.
However crypto people hopeful about this because facebook will introduce billions of people to cryptocurency
eventhough libra coin is a centralized coin far from the main characteristic of crypto , it is still a massive adoption.
115  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: technical analysis is enough to be successful in trading ???? on: July 07, 2019, 02:30:05 PM
I am trading from many years using technical analysis but technical analysis only is not enough , I am lacking something in my analysis and not having confidence in taking trades only based on technical analysis, I did ask many traders they say lot of factors like psychology, crowd behaviour , market sentiments , any experienced traders here know some other factors  please mention , and if  of you know  books where I can learn those  please mention book name            thanks

"Not everyone is going to make profit in cryptocurrency.
Whoever does the good analysis and have PATIENCE are the only ones who will be making money on Crypto."
i just read this quote somewhere in Twitter
i kinda agree on this ,there are so many analysis to consider in the market ill just add up that
being respectful to the market is also important to prevent loss ,not all the time your bias will be realized
at some point the market goes the other way and once you see or feel it you have to accept it.
Coz Some traders are so prideful to admit that.

117  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Adoption In Your Country on: July 06, 2019, 01:22:13 PM


This is for members outside of the United States of America since things going in that country are all on the news but for those countries who are usually outside the radar of the mainstream media, I would like to get updates which can be good and bad, favorable and unfavorable with bitcoin. Here in my country, we have no problem with the government as regulatory bodies are not hindering the growth of cryptocurrency and in fact we have many more exchanges already approved and they can start doing business in 2020. Reading the news in other countries, I am feeling lucky to be a resident here.

What about in your own native land...how's bitcoin adoption been going on? Is there a bright future in there or maybe is it facing a gloomy and cloudy prospect? Let's talk...


i dont wanna make it sound negative but it is what it is ,sadly here in our country the percentage of population here that knows about crypto is less that 10% , sadly because of ignorance there is a side that people here believe that bitcoin is a scam because many investment schemes here use bitcoin as a mode of payment and thats the problem when greed is more dominant to people investing in schemes they do not fully understand.
118  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Theoretical reason for the bullish bitcoin now. on: July 06, 2019, 01:06:38 PM
Now that we are in a fairly long Bitcoin stage of Accumulation, according to Wyckoff's scheme or theory we can say that we are entering an uptrend, it may go down a bit and then rise, believe that this time the bullish rally could reach $ 20k ? Many talk about the fact that the bitcoin ceiling is $ 50k, others talk about $ 100k and the most positive ones say $ 1M. It is a good time to make the corresponding investments, I think we can say that we are ready for new highs? To my way of thinking and how I see trading and the Bitcoin market I see the bullish Rally much more viable.



i think the news about launching of the libra coin of facebook has a big impact to this  bullish market
and also the news about FED and some FOMOS i guess
119  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Which one is more better: Doing bounties on Bitcointalk or Managers website on: July 05, 2019, 03:54:44 PM
Most of the bounty managers have their website in which they upload the bounties in which they manage and make it easy for the hunters to find the bounties they manage and easy accessible for hunters. But these managers don't do upload spreadsheet for hunters to see their stakes.
The bounty managers on Bitcointalk always have their spreadsheet shown to hunters and make them awear of the qualified people and the rejected hunters  , but to find the bounty of some favourite bounty managers is not that easy.

ill go for the bounty managers on Bitcointalk , i always want to be updated with the stakes i get every week in every campaign i join
its just there is a feel of relief there to keep on going
anyways its the hunters duty to search or follow the campaigns of their favorite manager and its not that hard anyways do not spoil us its part of the job right Wink
120  Economy / Economics / Re: The economic function of Bitcoin on: July 05, 2019, 01:54:25 PM
The basic economic function of bitcoins is the ability to be used as a remittance of money without the use of traditional banking system. The other function of it serving as a store of value and investment is not what bitcoin was created by satoshi to be but we made it so.

i agree and aside from it the fact that it gives profit to stay at home wives and jobless people that normally has nothing to contribute
to the financial aspect of their family , now being unemployed is now not a hindrance to contribute financially it has also made a contribution as well
i guess to the economy system.
