Basically yes. Trading isn't really a battle of who knows most of the indicators and what they mean but rather luck and patience to profit. Most of these successful traders are there at the right moment doing the right thing. If not, they would still be struggling to get greens ever day's end. It just so happen that luck favors them that's why they end up making more money than other traders.
We cannot completely explain the results that traders that get profits by just luck, they may get lucky once in a while but if they are successful after many years then the only thing we can say is that they are more skilled than other traders they have the talent to see when the trends are going to change.

For me as you grown and more mature in trading, its no longer just a educated guess but who have learned to managed and see how the next market price will go. So you anticipate where its going to be and invest on it. There are times you might profit big and other still got a lost even though you think you have predicted it right.

So there is still an element of luck involved + experienced it in. Well no one can predict it perfectly but with time and experienced, you can used it predict the possible course of action of the price resulting in a profit. This separates the 'professional' trader from a casual trader.

Nice and good article for those who want to learn more about trading since i am a trader and i don't think that there are such disppointing in trading but if the trading site got hacked that the most disappointed thing that will happen to it in trading i just only choose those coins that has potential to grow with in a week and if not i just hold it for a month waiting for the price to increase is a virtue also if you want to sell it you can get back your money for less 50%

I think this is the most disappointing thing that could happened to a trader, if the trading platform was hacked. But if you looked at how Bitfinex has recovered from a hack, I think I can say that there are a chance that you can get your money back.

Its really a hard job doing trading, you need a lot of qualities like patience and not to be emotional and affected by the daily price swings because if you are then you will be truly disappointed specially if the swings are going down and you are seeing your investment going to drain.
10963  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we still gambling while we always lose? on: August 17, 2017, 03:38:42 PM
It's because gambling is like a drugs addict, it's really hard to forget and stop from gambling even we lose so much money and always lose all your money in the end but i keep coming back. I also don't know why it is so hard to stop on gambling, maybe because i don't have any activity in real life and only stay on my pc 24 hours.

Gambling is indeed very addictive. It's probably not as addictive as smoking drinking or drugs, but i'm sure that gambling addiction is in top 5 addictions. It's simple to get addicted to gambling because most of people are really greedy so once they lose they will want to recover that money that they lost.. which pushes them to lose even more.

Gambling will sucked in every individual who will join in gambling world. At first it seems to cause you enjoyment and reason that you only gamble because its fun etc. But once you started to lose and thinking of recovering it, then this cycle will start and its hard to control it. The more you lose, the more you are suck in the system.

That is why is it better to leave the game early, than try to recoup everything because you can't do it. Many have tried to really recover, but end up losing more.
10964  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: regret by not believing in BITCOIN? on: August 17, 2017, 02:06:05 PM
My Father in law is very sad he did not purchase BTC when my wif told him to. Now he is very scared to purchase because he says it has gone up a lot. I am trying to tell him he will regret a lot more if he does not buy in again now as next year this time Bitcoin might be ten thousand USD instead.

Its really too sad to hear this kind of story because you have given them the time and the opportunity to earn or profit from bitcoin. But they choose to ignore you because they think that it is not a good investment. Now, seeing the price is too steep for them to enter, the make excuses but for us the longer they delay  their entrance, the more they will miss the opportunity to profit. Good for you that you have explain to him not getting right now, and I'm sure he gonna regret again his decision if the price gets into the $5000-$10000 range very soon.
10965  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Highest bitcoin profit you have ever received... on: August 16, 2017, 10:17:03 PM
So far my highest bitcoin profit is through signature campaign. I started at junior and was able to rank up to Full Member now. From June till now, I'm holding all of my earning and its around .074BTC. I have a target in mind to half at least 1 full BTC or even half BTC and I try my best to get it there.

Its been 4 months already and I think I needed more patience. I'm in no hurry to sell or dump my coins eventhough there is a panic sell. Will hold on it till I get that my goal has been reach. I will go into trading once I reached .1BTC so that I will have a good capital to begin with.
10966  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Worries: can anyone advise? on: August 16, 2017, 08:44:51 PM
What is the best wallet option if OP is investing as much as $100K?


For large amounts of Bitcoin ALWAYS use cold storage wallets like a paper wallet or a hardware wallet.

Regarding the OP question, Yes, I agree that worry is a part of human nature, but if you keep yourself pre-occupied yourself of too much worries, then you can't make a decent decision in life. The risk is already present in trading or any other investment. That is why people that succeeded in life mostly take the risk, they are willing to do it to reach their goal. So if you have too much worries about losing your money, then don't involved yourself in crypto's. The volatility and price swings will cause a lot of worries for you everyday.
10967  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-08-15] $45 Million: Ukrainian Lawmakers Reveal Big Bitcoin Holdings on: August 16, 2017, 08:41:35 AM
again old news-ukrainian parlament is a bunch of thieves and mentally unstable individuals
suffice it to say that the speaker is diagnosed with schitzophrenia and has all the corresponding medical evidences
some of the representatives are plain crazy,coming to work in camouflage or wearing traditional ukrainian shirts,fighting and kicking each other etc.
the electronic declarations were submitted long time ago and there are much more coins than that
if you rummaged through the documents,you would see that there are dozens of the deputies who declared bitcoins
and 45$ millions is just the tip of an iceberg

But the point is, its quite surprising that these guys are owning a lot of bitcoins. I thought they are anti-bitcoin but then again cannot removed that fact that even lawmakers from this small country are into bitcoin. I also believed that this is just a tip of the iceberg and there are lawmakers that are not fully disclosing their wealth including bitcoins.

Imagine if a lawmaker from USA saying that he has stash of bitcoin somewhere worth in $100+ million, lol that will be awesome and another rating boost for bitcoin.
10968  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Being Unemployed Drives People to go to Bitcoin on: August 16, 2017, 05:30:47 AM
I would say that bitcoin is a blessing for unemployed people.It has given new earning opportunities to them irrespective of their caste,creed,nation,whether living in developed country or undeveloped.It has changed their situations from waiting for a government or private sector.It has increased their standard of living.What they need is a laptop or a smart phone and access to internet.I have seen many people even quitting their tough and low paying jobs and have started earning in bitcoins.By giving earning opportunities to unemployed people,bitcoin helps progress of a nation's economy indirectly.

Very true. I know some people who are jobless but found bitcoin an opportunity to learn at the same time earn. Now they are financially secured because they work hard by joining campaigns and used this funds to go to trading which is more profitable if I might say. I'm seeing them from time to time and had chat with them and they say that bitcoin has open a lot of good things and that it makes have the financial freedom that they all wanted in life. Of course they are still doing trading and not just into investing only.
10969  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin $10,000 in sight !!! on: August 15, 2017, 08:00:23 AM
I think it has not been ascertained to reach $10k, but it really seems like bitcoin prices going to $10k from price movements. But reaching or not, it's really uncertain i guess and i can't predict exactly will reach $10k for the next. Just suggest who invest remains cautious about the ongoing bitcoin price movements and beyond.

Its really uncertain but the possibility of reaching $10000 is not far. We never thought that $4000 is possible this year but we have achieved it in just short span of time. Maybe this number can be broken next year or the year after. So one thing is certain, its achievable. Nothing is impossible for bitcoin now as people from everywhere are putting a lot of cash into the market. Of course those who have investment have known the risk and will always be cautions because bitcoin now is becoming a platform for rich people to put their extra money. It's turning out to be a playground for big boys. Billionaires, multi millionaires are into the ecosystem now.
10970  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-08-13] Goldman Sachs Warns Investors Not to Ignore Bitcoin any Longer on: August 15, 2017, 07:38:49 AM
The doubter in me is saying that Goldman Sachs might have bought bitcoins under 1000 dollars and now think this is a good time to hype it more and then they start to unload them in the market.

We became bitcoiners because we do not trust the banks. That should not change now.

Correct, Gold Sacks has earned a horrible reputation among people who pay attention. If nothing more, we have a clear sign of a short & medium-term top for Bitcoin.

And now they are saying that bitcoin will reached is ceiling at $4800  then it will crashed to $2200. LOL Just like what I said before I really don't trust in them simply because they don't understand what's behind bitcoin success. Maybe you are correct that they have put investment and really hyping it now and later will cash it out. That's how tricky and un-trusted this banks are really are. Smiley

How to succeed in internet marketing home businesses. before I know bitcoin, I studied at various sites and got directions about marketing. Until now many ads come in my email because it's incorporated in the program know what it is that allows users to promote their products via email.So much of it to contain spam in incoming email.

The ads that are in your email, they are what we call email marketing. It's already popular and most of the people that are annoyed with this marketing is calling it as a scam. But I've been with that job before and I can say if you are targeting certain people who wants to avail your product will eventually get a good sales.
How to do e-mail marketing in my opinion is not effective. It's all because we do not know where the right target. Other than that people are also not easily interested to see and do click on ads in e-mail. Because most people are afraid that messages in e-mails contain phishing. I prefer to advertise on a large website than using the manual way of doing it in e-mail.

It's not effective if you are targeting uncertain customers. But if you have a list of emails that you know they are in line related or close into using your product or service, it is one of the best and effective way of marketing your offers. I worked for a bank and this is what we did with their customers and it's effective.

Another good method to start with. Email marketing. But its really hard to get a niche email unless you have a good landing page that will capture the email before proceeding to your website. I think this is very specific target, which is nice assuming that the email you captured are really interested to the products that you are going to sell. You just need an email blaster, and write a clickbait letter that will make them really curious about your product and bought them to see if it really works for them.

What my company do before is just buying those email from the other banks and companies for $0.05 / email and we had bought more than thousands of email. And that's just what we do everyone, emailing those customers and if we receive a reply, we've got a new customer because all of those people are potential customers.

Question though, isn't it illegal for some countries to send unsolicited email? I know USA has implemented such a law back then in 2003 but I'm not expect. Perhaps your country has allowed it and thus your company is buying bulk orders of email which in your case is very effective in getting a lot of potential customers. I think this is also part of SEO/SMM and some company are including this in the package they offered. And could be a very successful in producing your desired output by getting a lot of customers.

No it's not, unless there is someone who is pissed off of your emails that will report your company to the authority. I'm not working with that company anymore because they are treating us like robots and we hate to see on how the customers are replying who doesn't want to avail such products, it's a disgrace to us for reading their message to the company.

Well everyone will be really pissed off because its a unsolicited email. Glad you have moved out of that company and now found out bitcoin which I guess is making you a steady income as well just like the rest of us.

I am not sure about the law but all the SPAM I get I send tru a program that sends abuse reports to their hosts and servers. They usually get a warning or some host will delete the accts with no refund for violation of policy.

SPAM sucks, you will just make people annoyed.

I didn't know that there is such a program that will immediately send abuse reports to the host. Yeah, we all hate SPAM, that is why the US has implemented such a law and you have to put a disclaimer as I understand it or a unsubscribe link so that we as recipients can do it if we don't like the source of the email.
10972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to make sure you don't lose money on: August 15, 2017, 03:39:04 AM
The only way to make sure you don't lose money, I am aware of, is arbitrage betting at sportsbooks. But you have still the risk to not receive your deposit and win for whatever excusation on part of the sportsbook.

There's actually no means to ensure that you'll not loose money and so whether arbitrage gambling or martingale formula they present their own flaws and we should be ready to risk if we want to win rather than employ lazy mentality by applying these principles which in turn are not 100% risk free.

That is why its called, gambling or betting, because we don't really know what will be the outcome, unless you have some kind of supernatural powers that only happened in the movies.  Smiley

For me if you want to lose money then don't gamble. And for us gamblers, we have to learn to control our emotions. Its better to go out winning then losing it all in the end. So if you have won already, time to get out and not be greedy because sooner or later the casino's will swept your bankroll.
10973  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is Unstoppable on: August 15, 2017, 02:24:33 AM
Right now, we can say that it is unstoppable because of the conti ues price pump. But we cannot tell until when will this continue. Remember that the price and market of Bitcoin is very volatile. We still need to be very careful. It is still too early to conclude but I'm very happy on what's happening to Bitcoin right now. Smiley

Agree. Its too early to conclude so we all should be jumping for joy and celebrate every price increase that we are seeing. For me its a good indication that bitcoin can really go up more in the next coming months. Of course we can all agree that it will not remain this bullish for long, and we can see some minor blips along the way. But is a healthy sign for all of us. If there are dips, then buy so that we can all accumulate more bitcoin. Hodler's are very happy and optismistic, and wish that this trend will continue. So all I can say is that we should all ride this hype for now and enjoy it.

10975  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin is going slowly to 40,000$ and more on: August 14, 2017, 03:44:38 AM
It is laughable that we are starting to see discussions of Bitcoin reaching "crazy" prices like $20,000 and $40,000 per coin. My initial reaction would be to think "Are you crazy?", but then I remembered that $4000 per Bitcoin was also a "crazy" price to reach early last year.



Exactly, So I think sky is now open for whatever price we are going to speculation on the price of bitcoin. John McAfee even predicted a million per pop so I don't know if that can be touch or if bitcoin can get closer to it. But what thing bitcoin proves to us many speculators is that, it really difficult to see the price of it in the future. So we better just buy and hold for long term and have faith and trust that bitcoin will moved toward to what prices we want to see it in the future. Beginning of this year no one has predicted that $4000 is possible, now we have surpassed it and going forward to $5000 as the next stop.
10976  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-08-13] Goldman Sachs Warns Investors Not to Ignore Bitcoin any Longer on: August 14, 2017, 03:08:15 AM
For you who don't know ; The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is an American multinational finance company that engages in global investment banking, investment management, securities, and other financial services including asset management, mergers and acquisitions advice, prime brokerage, and securities underwriting services. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldman_Sachs
As a company which handles so much investment and asset management, then their customers and more people will pay attention to bitcoin, and surprisingly bitcoin has increase from less than $1000 in the early of this year and bitcoin has reach over $4100 today across global exchanges. The potential is limitless for bitcoin, we don't know how much bitcoin could gain if more business and companies adopt or invest in bitcoin in this year.

A think media reports like this help somewhat to push bitcoin to new levels. I mean, cash is pouring to the market right now and we don't know who and how investors just suddenly jumps into the bandwagon of bitcoin. I guess they are now preaching bitcoin to their client as well and saying that bitcoin can't be overlooked specially this year as the price grows exponentially like 300% perfect. Do you think we have to thank them? I think so, but of course them being a bank, we can't really put a lot of trust in him, just saying.
10977  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN PRICE RETURNS UP on: August 14, 2017, 02:26:44 AM
We should do what we have to do
We sell btc or should we save until the highest price

Let's share for those of us who have not been able to predict bitcoin prices can take the best step

There are traders that go on a quick profit. So if they see that the price swings is good enough for them to make a profit, then of course they are going to sell. But there are investors who are in for the long term. So even if the price drops a bit, then don't panic and sell bitcoin but rather just hold on it because we all know that the price of it can increase as what we are really seeing right now. So the answer to your question really depends on the individual goal, take a quick profit everyday or every week or stay on it for a long haul.
10978  Other / Archival / Re: Do you think that you're addicted to gambling? on: August 14, 2017, 01:58:15 AM
Currently, I feel not addicted. Because of what? Because I do not gamble every day, then I just play with money I can afford to lose. And I also rarely gamble, just when I want to gamble and that's usually only on my favorite teams.
Also me, I don't gamble everyday now after I have lost a lot in the past, maybe we really need to learn from our mistakes
so we will not be able to spend more again, it's enough to lose a little as long as you will get the entertainment you want.
Gambling for me now is just a sort of entertainment and nothing more.

I gamble almost every day and I'm not addicted, in the sense that I allocate an addiction for only a few hours so it does not fit our minds every day, I do not spend a lot of time to gamble and stay consistent to play every day.

For me if you gamble everyday this is a sign that you are addicted. And the reason that put your addiction falls to the category of self-denial dude. It almost contradicts what you say here. You do not spend a lot of time, but you also says that you gamble everyday. That's a lot of time spend in a week in gambling if you are going to ask me. So I just advise you to try and see if you can control yourself and not play everyday. So that at least you can gauge yourself if you are really addicted or not.
10979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Superstition on: August 14, 2017, 01:35:46 AM
Lol you have some strange superstition. I guess though that is what superstition is, something strange. I have no superstition at all. Sometimes i feel like a certain situation is bringing me luck but then i remind myself such things don't exist.

What makes you believe in these things or follow through with them ? Probably not fun ? Surely it is out of desperation ?


I think for some it's funny little quirks like blowing on the dice. They know it does nothing but they do it anyway.
Haha! Superstitions have now become a strategy for most of the gamblers. Many people think this way that gambling could end up in winning huge amounts if some sort of strange thing happens to them. It is same as choosing lucky numbers or wearing a specific color to invite luck to your side.  in my opinion, superstitions have no realities and are only a matter of belief of a person. Gambling only proves to be a useful way of earning if you really are lucky rather than just blowing on the dice or crossing your fingers.
Believe in superstition doesn't mean automatically you will get a guarantee to win.
People just looking for an excuse , to blame which one factor that makes you win or lost.
And superstition things be their choice , sometimes it is really doesn't makes any sense.

For me, superstitions is really just a total excuse if you have win or lose. I have seen a lot of gamblers throughout my gambling life and those I meet that believed in superstitions, is only pointing at it as a attempt to lessen the blame attaching to or seek to defend or justify their action. And besides, we all know that it has no bearing to the outcome of the game or the result, so believing it is just pure nonsense.
