I would not use them because I am trying to HODL as much as possible and having an easy way like an ATM is not good for me.

and guess what you greedy piece of s**t, cryptocurrencies will kill your business one day. you can fight and lobby against it all you want; but you'll never win in the long term. technology and the will of the people will prevail !!

then you would have start ups with crazy ideas coming up on every corner. 90% of the time it will be a scam of some sort.

bitcoin tried to combat banks and the banking system by keeping everything decentralized, government is corrupt by banking system and there for it fights bitcoin.  

a lot of people don't me personally I don't day trade in that way and there for I don't really use them a lot. I think that TA is a lot like story telling as it explains the price in the past, but when it comes to predicting the future events sometimes it hit sometimes it's a miss.

pick a coin that I think has potential to be a very good top 100 coin, then buy some of it and wait for it to explode ... I am still waiting LOL

of course it all depends on the coin and on the exchange itself. I trade on at least 5 different exchanges. it doesn't matter I think you should follow the option that maximizes your profit.

cryptocurrencies are the future in my opinion and bitcoin is going to continue to be the face of cryptocurrencies for the near future.

I mean I kind of have this feeling that for the time being BTC will not increase in value because there is nothing to drive the value; no hype, no greed, nothing. I don't think it's going to happen ultimately but I think it's happening now, people are scared now and realize that btc isn't the magical potion for quick riches.

in my opinion you have made a terrible terrible terrible mistake by doing what you did, but it's all in the past now. I really feel hesitant about giving you advice because the stakes are so high for you. but I really believe that the price will turn around.

my strategy is to trade my way to 1 bitcoin without necessarily investing any money to it. I know it's hard and that it will take time but it's my project.

for me personally I don't know the answer to that yet. but the way I see it I better have some money by the time I find the answer to that question.

from my prospective trading is a zero sum game, everything will cancel out eventually. it took a historical event for me to make a 40% profit by shorting BTC in the last crash. it's stupid to choose trading vs investing or just holding.

great news, Japan has always been a pioneer in technology and this goes to show that Japan is on the right path.

I think you are on the right idea here mate. in my opinion you should invest in alts and use bitcoin as a store value for the returns of those investments.

this is it guys it was a fun ride, see you on the drive-through window where I will be spending the rest of my life at :/
ps: just kidding BTC will comeback strong.

I think with a little bit of luck it is possible, but that heavily depends on what you define as financial freedom. one of my friends was able to buy a house within 1 year of being involved in cryptocurrencies so I think it's possible.

I don't see the crash coming guys, we are unable to break the 10,000$ on the way down. it is a very strong support and I think we will not go below it.

I guess this have been a long time coming, the vast majority of ICOs and everything that is advertised are scams, I guess these are the rules now and new projects need to adapt to this new game rules.

the decentralized aspect, let's not forget that bitcoin happened after the 2008 crisis and in a way was a response of the banking system, so to cut off the banks and middle men is a great way.
