Well, now that it is falling I am just reading some books and here in forum about the news. I am just holding my coins and wait for it to moon again. I hope it will be back at the range of $12,000. For now I am buying some bitcoins whenever I have extra money, I have faith that it will rise back again on may or june.

Well I don't think I understand it very well, this is my idea. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong,  if the there is a huge number of supply the demand is decreasing, and so as the price. If ever the supply is just 20 and the demand is at 30, or the people who are really eager to buy it at any price is 30 people, the price will increase as it becomes rare.

Well If you are not new in trading, I suggest that you read the news about the coins so that you will have the idea of what coin is good to invest at. You should read in bitcoin discussion threads and alt coins. If you want to join ICO campaigns just look for bounty campaigns for extra income. Read news like "what is the cause of the fall of the bitcoin" there are so many topics don't read them all just read what ever you think is useful for you to improve your knowledge.

I've been in trading and I must say it is really a good experience, I learned many things about crypto world. Now, I am trying to look for a job, and I want to try trading while working full time. I hope I can do it. But if I can't I'll leave my job to do full time trading again. I want to earn money eventhough you can earn bigtime in trading you are not always sure that you can earn, there is always a loss depending on your strategy, so I want to have a work so that if the coins I invest in gets dump I have the money from my job to recover from my loss.

Indeed! This is the best time to buy bitcoin, since it is declining. Even if it falls doesn't mean it will not rise up again. If you will buy today, maybe you can hold it for a few months until it reaches your desired price. I am sure bitcoin will pump again and it will shock us with its new heights. If you don't buy bitcoin now, you will regret it if you see the bitcoin price on the moon in the next months. But it is up to you, it is just that this maybe the huge crash of bitcoin in the whole year. We can't really tell.

I can advice you to trade on poloniex because it is a good site for beginners, but to trade without losing? Yes it is possible, but you must always know that there is no perfect strategy in trading, you must be prepared to lose aome of your investment. I advice you to learn about cryptos and how they work so that atleast you will reduce the risk of losing your profits. How to do it right? They say BUY LOW SELL HIGH. It is the universal rule. Will you sell something you bought in $100 for $60? Of course not! You will not earn that way.

I totally agree with this, Emotions are one of the worst enemy in trading, If you can't control your emotions please stop trading, you will just loss your money. Fear of losing more money which is why panic selling happens, "I can control it, I'll just hold it until it pumps up again" it is easy  to say those things but once you actually experience the falling of market you will feel fear because you are losing the money from you hardwork. Patience is a must in trading.

Buying a pumped coin has a very high risks, pumped coins are more likely going to fall, Imagine you've bought an apple for $10 and sell it for $8? That's how you loss in buying pumped coins.

Don't invest in just 1 coin, because if that coin you invested falls, you will just lose your money and you will not have some money to recover your loss because you've invested in a market that falls. You are lucky if it pumped but it is a very risky tactics.

There are so many times bitcoins crashes, It almost died 100 times or more but it keeps rising from the dump to the moon, just hold your coin and control your emotions. Bitcoin price is always falling after a huge pump and vice versa. So just HODL or buy many bitcoins as you can so you can earn a lot of profit if it comes back to the range of $10000 or higher.

I think they will rank up eventually as long as they keep posting quality posts although it will be rough and will take too much time. But the problem is, no matter how quality post it is, it will not always get a merit, sometimes they will just ignore your post or sometimes they wanted to give merit but they don't have enough smerits. But this cannot stop low quality posts, some people will just keep posting and posting as long as they got enough merits. But this is for the better forum. I know that they just add up the merit system for good.

If there is a way to predict the prices of coins, I know everyone would be using that. But unfortunately there is none. That's what makes this really interesting and very thrilling because you won't know what will happen. Imagine if you can easily predict the price, or everyone could predict the price, what do you think will happen? The market will fall. You can use chart patterns to predict the coins, but it is not 100% accurate, but you can get an idea and build your strategy because you can analyze the market.

NEver! I never bought drugs with bitcoins but who knows, maybe there are some big organizations who are using bitcoins to buy drugs. Can you Imagine using phones in trading drugs? Lol. But I think it is happening anywhere right now but only few.

I am writing this for those newbies like me who wanted to be a trader but doesn't know where to start. I know what you feel guys because I also started without knowing anything. I always wanted to learn and I always asks my friends about every little things to the point that they get annoyed (maybe) lol.

 First, you need to understand what kind of world you are going to be in. For example make some research, about the coin you want to invest either btc, eth or both it really depends on you. Now if you understand what cryptocurrencies are, learn how to read and analyze the charts, most of the charts are using candlesticks. I also watched videos in youtube because I am more  comfortable if someone is explaining it to me than reading. If you already know how this works and you think you already know enough then you can start investing what you are ready to lose, don't get me wrong even if you studied the pattern, coins are very unpredictable, that is why you are not always earning there is always a loss. You can build your own strategy. Your one most difficult enemy is also yourself, or your emotions, you must control your emptions and be patient. If you are not patient enough, I suggest not to continue trading for your own safety. just research everything, ask your friends, ask google, watch videos from youtube and read here in forum. Buy low sell high and a buy and hold game.

I hope that there are veterans in trading who are willing to give their ideas and advice. Thank you!

Sa kadahilanang maraming mahihirapan sa pag rarank up eh marami ring matitigil sa mababang ranko tulad ng jr. Member kung saan napakaliit na ng kinikita sa bounty signature campaign. Imagine mas marami na ngayon ang mga junior member na maghahatihati sa kapiranggot na sweldo nila. Then, mauuso din ang pagbebenta ng merit in order to rank up. Oo merong nagbabantay but di pa rin maiiwasan yun. Then merong mga nagmemrit lang sa kani kanilang kaibigan. So ang mga quality posts ay di rin mamemerit kahit gaano pa yan ka high quality because their primary goal is to rank up their account then their alternative accts then their friends. So kung wala kang kilala mahihirapan ka talaga. Kawawa ang mga lower ranks kasi mahihirapan talaga sila. But I understand that this is for the good pf our forum. Kasalanan din natin yun kasi nagpopost rin tayo ng mga low quality posts.

The Bitcoin bulls have been defending the $10,000 mark for the past few days. But they have not been able to push prices higher, which is a point of concern. The cryptocurrency has broken out of the down trendline one, which shows that the momentum on the downside has decreased. We can expect a few more days of range bound action between $10,000 and $12,000. It is difficult to predict whether the upside or the downside move comes next.

I've experienced it many times already, but those people who talks to me about their hatred with bitcoin doesn't know a thing in bitcoin.. they don't know what bitcoin is and doesn't even know how to earn in bitcoin. They laughed at me and always asking if I already earned at it with full of sarcasm. But I just laughed back at them and tell them to wait until I earn. Now, they are not asking if I am earning instead they are asking me to teach them how. So this time I am the one laughing at them because my earnings are better than what they earn monthly.

I think there is no book about crypto tradings yet. But there are many books about investing you can look for it in the book store. But I suggest that you look for the internetand read it instead of buying books. I think investopedia is a good site to learn about investing. well, its a matter of where you are comfortable at..

This is absolutely true! But first you need to study and learn all you can learn in trading because it is very difficult of you know nothing at all.. I advice you to ask a friend what to pearn in trading and start researching, DYOR or do your own research, search google, search youtube and watch mews of what coin you are going to invest.

How do you trade? Do you still follow the buy low and sell high? Are you still looking on the charts to predict the future value of the coin? Or Do you just use your instinct and trade base on the volume?  Some people are still panicking if their coins go dip and just sell it before they lose greater sum of money. People whose enemy is their own emotions. For me I am studying the charts of the coins which has a high potential to pump even though I'm not sure if it woll really pump. If not, I'm just holding it until it does. I am controlling my emotions and think calmly so that I can resuce the mistakes that I may done with my decisions. How about you?
