You know what you are saying and all what you said are correct. Being optimistic to an investment that you are trying is a must, don't get discouraged with most of the people that are whining about their losses.

Don't get dismayed if you have read some bad experience in trading, not all have a bad story and experience in such investments and in trading as well. My experience about trading is quite good so far and you don't have to chase and do day trade, it's like buying and holding.

You buy at dip and wait for that coin to increase a bit and sell.

I saw some newbies that are wearing a signature but stakes of it are very much cheaper than higher ranks.

What you need is a copywriter mate.

You should increase your rates on this one but I can't blame you if that's the only budget you've got in your pocket. And if you will pay in ETH, you must put this on Marketplace(Altcoins).
Services is for bitcoin paying jobs.

You have to experience the way on how trading is and you don't have to be scared of doing it. Charge to experience on how feels it good when you've earned quite good with it.

Instead of asking which is the best path between trading and investing, both of them can be done and be your the best path in investing to cryptocurrencies.

You don't need to do anything crazy if the altcoins are dipping, same goes for bitcoin. No wonder why there are crying for their losses because this comes to their mind when they see the charts declining.

Time to make some addition to your portfolio's when we are catching with this dip if you don't want to get left behind, you can also hold but adding more is also fine.

Let's agree that there is a game for whales but these whales will also love to see bitcoin's on high again.
And with the speculations being told for so many times which are basically positive prices, whales will have to do something for them to reach it. If you don't see a chance for bitcoin to grow same with last year, what are you planning then? Bitcoin's value is different from it's price, the value of bitcoin is growing the more people and businesses adopting it which makes the price goes up too so doubt your doubt.

Your mind tells you that it's frustrating but you have to change the tides by thinking that it's another time for buying more bitcoins.

That's it, you don't have to let yourself down with these falls. Verily said that you don't have to create a decision that you will regret in the future.

Hold while you can and this is what every faithful holder does.

This isn't the worst market dip, from the existing and current price few days ago which is $6,700 went off to $5,800 and now healthy to $6,300.

Think of how it's worst to see bitcoin falling from $20,000 back to $10,000 and down to $6,000. I consider that the worst days and not this one that happened yesterday.

I'm aware about this issue and question has been raised all over the forum before.

Right, we can be categorized to freelancers if we earned from crypto whether it's from trading or bounties. Since there is no perfect law yet about crypto's, it can be served as online income that will go down to that category.

It's because every time I see some threads about the current fall, most of the posters are newbies or are they really newbie? Also some are just spreading FUD and want to share their fear to others. Crypto is a high risk market and you have to change your mindset if you ever came in. You have to forget the traditional fundamentals that are being shown with the normal markets like stocks but due to its risky behavior, if you have patience with a combined good timing, it will make you wealthy.

Bear market is only an issue to those who bought during the market high's but most of the people here which I'm quite sure that we bought and had bitcoin when it was around $1,000 - $4,000.

Compare to the stocks market, crypto market is better than that. You have to need big money there and wait for loooooong years before you see great profit but crypto is totally different and the best.

You can put it on Announcement(Altcoins) - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

There is also the Token(Altcoins) - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=240.0 which is a child board of ANN altcoins.

There are only few things that worries me about mertacox.

They have been a target by DDOS and although it's not that so great but still that can be a flaw for them.

They are improving and growing fast because of the vast number of altcoins and they are listing it so they get tons of traders.

So that's really possible that we might end up $4,975 for this bearish market but it's still on good point that it has been back to $6,200.

But I'm not confident with this situation because there can be something that will pull it down.

To the investors and holders already, it's very important.

THIS! I feel yaah.

You know what? it's gonna be okay.  

Bitcoin is still on $6k mark so there's no need to worry. Where's the dump? no there's no dump, it's still fine, we're fine.  

Putting my hopes until December.

Not all exchanges are allowing it, I've been using a local exchange and it's possible to use a trading bot to it though there are only 3 coins to trade.

But I'm sure about it, maybe the time that I've taken a look at it they are not allowing it and there are some changes right now.

Are you sure about this?

You can put the pointer of your mouse to that link and read if that website is legit or not and if you are not familiar to it, don't continue clicking it.

I have found something useful, if you will install metamask it can also figure out phishing websites. Actually there are so many ways to avoid phishing sites, if you know the correct spelling of the website you used to visit and you found out that it's misspelled then that's a fake one.

Is it with blockchain.info?

When you lost or forgotten your password, it is a way to recover your account together with your balance.

It has been cheap for many months and yet it is not enough for you?

What is the term for your "cheaper" bitcoin? $4,000 / $3,000 / $2,000 / $1,000? The price is a good deal today and if you want others to wait it can be a chance to slip if ever bitcoin goes on high again.

Bitcoin will lead the way for the crypto market.

There will be altcoins that can survive either, having a huge market cap, community, listed on many exchanges -decentralized and not. Don't be too focused by diversifying much because you may get a lower volume from the best coins like bitcoin.

Instead of putting a good capital to bitcoin it will only go to an altcoin that you're not really believing.
