Impatience and emotion is really what has made people to lose badly in trading and what usually cause that is because they have no idea of what they are doing or the decisions they are to make and so on and when it balls down to make those decisions, they end up fumbling pretty bad until they end up losing all.

The same way it is not possible to start performing medical surgery on someone without being a certified surgeon is just the same way you cannot be making decisions on trading without learning and knowing the decisions to make each time.

Apparently, you think it would be that easy ?
Some of them are beginning to understand the fact that the people have started realizing why the control should be in their hands and why they are there to serve us in the first place.

Now, the case is totally different, they are never there for the masses and they have always done things just for their own best interest while monopolizing the whole system. With a stronger community, the less likely it is for them to drop threats as it ends up being an empty one.

That is just the truth. Looking at the development we have now and so many chances of development that would come up in the nearest future, then we will know that growth is just something that would keep happening in the long run for bitcoin and most of us here now or just coming in would even end up realizing that we are early adopters after all.

This is why we need to keep seeing the value more than it just being an asset.

You should not get too excited yet and you may want to hold on before you make any purchase. It was this same coin that gave me a huge loss recently while holding. Screw me that I did not make use of the stop loss. My opinion would be not to expect too much. You can wait a little before the November fork and then get in, hopefully, you might experience another pump after then. However, it sure has some pretty good team.

OP statement sound to me like a joke or someone who is just trying to seek attention. First and foremost, what gave OP the impression that most Americans don’t know about bitcoin. And even if they don't how does that make ETN better  ?

That sounds like baloney to me. If the OP really have proper understanding, then he would not even ask those questions comparing marketcap, support, number of years, usage and so on and so forth, then comparing a coin that just finished ICO and does not even know how it would fair in the market yet to Bitcoin. You must be a real joker!

There is nothing you can do about it. You will only blame yourself for not checking the ICO properly before being a part of it in the first place and try never to make that mistake again. It is obvious there are so many ICOs out there that would run away with investors money or end up using bounty hunters without paying them, just do your due diligence before being a part and move on if you make a mistake of joining one.

Yes, being careful and avoiding suspicious ICO is the only thing we can do to protect ourselves to any potential scams. But I am afraid all altcoin investors are capable of filtering out suspicious projects.

All totally balls down to being careful just as you have mentioned. If you know how to play your trading game pretty well, you will always make very sweet profit, and with that you can always increase your bitcoin. However, the mistake some people do make it holding them for so long and some usually do not even set stop loss and then in dump occasions like the one going on presently, they always end up losing badly.

For faster profit, it would not be ideal to leave all the assets there. Most times it is just best to leave some in the wallet to sell once it increases in value quickly while he keeps the rest in the wallet for the future. Leaving all your assets in an exchange where you do not have full control to your funds is just not the greatest idea.

Really looking forward to when we would start having decentralized exchanges. If the coin is listed in a decentralized desktop wallet, the better!

No one mate! I don’t gamble much since I have never had the balls to stay happy even after losing but then I started playing very little on lottery which I know it is something I could afford to lose and one day when I hit it so big, I could remember this ecstatic feeling that came all over me.

You thought you would not be able to sleep when you lose, then try winning a huge amount of money ...
I stayed awake all night reminiscing how it all started and even when I finally slept in the morning, I could not just stop dreaming about it.

Lottery tickets is actually one cool way to gamble though! I do not even know whether that can be classified as gambling or not. Most times I just usually get some few tickets from the little amount they give to me from saving the fund in their wallet and I put it up for lottery and that at least I know is something that I can afford to lose and still give me something very cool if I am lucky enough.

It is not something you can use offline as you most definitely need to access your wallet online anyway. However, there are so many ways you can cash out in fiat if use any available exchange around you. Over time as we keep developing, time may come when we will start seeing more debit cards linked to an account and then many stores or merchants accepting it and then we may start enjoying not having to connect online all the time to make use of the currency.

Ponzi sites has really done their part in promoting and creating awareness for bitcoin just in a bad way. I was talking to someone recently about bitcoin and he was so adamant on the fact that bitcoin is a ponzi and he was duped.

After so long time of chatting and asking him how, I discovered he was scammed by a HYIP site who made him purchase bitcoin and then took his bitcoin away and then he thought bitcoin was the scammer or the problem until I explained to him bitcoin is just a currency and a tool before he could understand.

You have made a god point here. In reality it is actually a little bit difficult to stay anonymous by following the general path but again not a very difficult task to achieve because the technology has advanced a lot. We have options like proxies, tor and VPN.

If someone wants to hide his identity, he must make fake accounts and then use such bypasses that will not give the real address. This is how we can actually stay low profile on internet.

This is really the best way to me as well. I got tired of trying to look at the screen almost every now and then. Most times, if you can just have few coins worth holding and the chances of you being able to predict them with their patterns, can be more profitable and less tiring as long as you know when to get in, get out, use the stop loss and also know that every day is absolutely not Christmas.

For someone who can find a very nice portfolio, like those which you have stated which they are apparently nice, this method of trading is really a good way to trade without stress.

You do not have to day trade before you trade, though sometimes, holding a coin for a long time can also come with its own risk like we had presently, but it cannot be bad that it won't grow back except that it would hold your coin's growth the longer.

Sometimes, though, I have found out that just leaving your coins in bitcoin can save you some stress as you just watch it grow.

It is not even just about the performance but we are what makes the value increase. Demand is higher than supply and as long as there is someone willing to pay me for the value that I have placed on it, then that is what makes it increase. As long as it stays relevant and its usefulness gets even better and well known than just being an asset, then the more the value keeps increasing.

For controlling action, we must have a control over emotions and because actions are the output of emotions. A person must have a calm brain and a lot of courage. Most of the time, people face troubles as they are filled with fear. Listen to brain more than heart. Analyze all the aspects of any situation and come up with a solution that will harm decision maker the least. Never lose hope even if failure keep on knocking at the door.

Everyone has the same dream of getting rich through this Bitcoin Network. No one will do this with an intention of getting poor, but if you want to, you can send me all your Bitcoins lol. By the way, I got into this in 2015, and luckily, I’m achieving most of my plans which I couldn’t have achieved without the help of Bitcoin.

Lol, I kept on laughing after reading this. Yes, we are the ones that’s corrupt, but we can’t just be corrupt without any reason (though there are some people who are naturally evil) there are things that pushes most of us to do what we don’t want to do and that is money. Bitcoin is money, Gold is also money, and when we seek these things, those of us who don’t achieve them tends to do so by going through the evils means of getting it.

Some of these economists you see these days are just fools, and you should never listen to those foolish ones, I don’t even know how they got through to become economists. Yes, it looks like a bubble, but some of them uses the bubble word as a way to incite people to believe that Bitcoin is scam and rubbish.
