162  Economy / Economics / Re: Would a global disaster increase or decrease the Bitcoin value ? on: April 17, 2018, 06:33:31 PM
when the global disaster will happen this will lead to decrease in the price of the cryptocurrencies because at that time people will try to sell their coins so that they can hold the money for their daily needs. when the supply will increase then the value will automatically decrease, even the government will also try to stop trading and start focusing on the maintaining the country

Is it a good buying price for bitcoin?Might cross-border activity often lead to better demand for bitcoin?So bitcoin will do better in the second half of the year.What do you think?
i think yes bitcoin will do better in the second half of this year because in this year bitcoin has faced many challenges but it also has made a good come back in recent days. early its value was dropped drastically but now it is going to back again on the track.
even now countries also paying interest on bitcoin and there are some countries who adopted bitcoin and there are some who are willing to support this in future.

increase in the value of bitcoin is always the one major point of attraction to many people and because when the customers increase the demand rises and so does the price. as every person in this world wants to earn money and bitcoin help people in earning some money. when bitcoin was introduced in the market for first time, many people were making fun of it but there were some people who invested on the this and now became the rich person in the society. there are many successful people who had ended with a good profit at the end.
165  Economy / Economics / Re: Being a Smart Person or Strategic on: April 16, 2018, 10:29:26 PM
Is it enough to be smart with just nothing to lean on and go on with your life? Because i feel that there are a lot of people who doesn't know how to handle their money with regards to see in the future. Is it enough to be smart and not be strategical or somewhat a person who has a lot of experience. Who would you choose?

For me it is required to be a master of both things like of course you can not have experience if you are not going to try and some people would think it's a waste of their time if they are doing what they know already like repeating their work over and over again. So it should be in a balance.
I don't think a smart person is not capable to handle his/her money.
Yes both being smart and strategic is required in today's world because if you are smart then you are capable enough to grab the opportunities that are available in the market, and if you are strategic enough then you can always find the alternative solution for your problem and you always have a strategy for doing your work in more effective way.
166  Economy / Economics / Re: What's more important when starting a business, Big Idea or Big Capital? on: April 16, 2018, 10:18:45 PM
For a business owner both big idea and investment are required but For me i think big idea is more important than big investment because if you have a good idea then you can build your empire from a scratch, but if you don't have any idea then you can't make profit from your investments.
All billionaires in this world stared their company from a small but their ideas were revolutionary and now we can see the things they had made for the future generations
167  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Reasons Why Many Families Are Feeling Extreme Financial Stress on: April 16, 2018, 10:07:53 PM
Higher Inflation rate is always a problem for many people because it leads to decrease in the value of money, with increasing expenses now it became very difficult to survive.
Though countries always want to reduce this rate but there are some market forces which also effects indirectly. Like trade war between two countries.
As United States of America and China are going for trade war. So by increasing the tax rate on the traded good leads to increase the price of that commodity, and with inflation it become very difficult to afford that product.
168  Economy / Economics / Re: Beliefs about money and wealth on: April 16, 2018, 09:57:56 PM
I believe that you cannot earn money or wealth if didnt go to a suffer/trials in life.hardwork and goal in life is the key to your success. Thats ny bellief
I appreciate what you said but i think in today's world smartwork is more important than hardwork. Yes suffering give you experiences but if you work smartly for your goal then you can achieve it more effectively.
169  Economy / Economics / Re: Beliefs about money and wealth on: April 16, 2018, 09:53:49 PM
Everyones hasn diferent beliefs about money and wealth. See for example 35 different ways of thinking about it here:
https://daringtolivefully.com/powerful-beliefs-about-money

One famous author, not my favourite, yet an influential one is Robert Kyosaki. In his book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", he examines two different beliefs and states that those believes will shape your success.

What of these do you agree with? What other beliefs do you have about money?

1 - Millionaires are greedy, that is why they become millionaires.
2 - Company managers just want to use the workers to make themselves rich and others poor.
3 - Having money is a question of luck, if not of "gods grace".
4 - Debt is always bad.
5 - To make money, you just need to have a great idea nobody thought off.
6 - Cryptos are the way to make money and be successful without having to put effort into it.
7 - To become rich I just have to believe in Bitcoin because many people have become rich doing that.
8 - To become rich I just have to be more clever and streetwise than everyone around to get my share of the cake.

Your turn to think ...

(EDIT: These are NOT my beliefs, at least not necessarily, is just a list to think. Is not the list by Robert K. either.)
I would like to give my opinion on some of your points.
Money and wealth are two different things.
A company owner always look for wealth maximization where as a company's manager look for money.
Millionaire are greedy but they also provide some facilities that help in retaining the image of company for longer periods of time.
At some level debts are good for company in increase trust snd sales. But using debt st higher level can be risky for the owner as well as for the company.
170  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Mistakes when trade coin on: April 16, 2018, 09:47:05 PM
Investors spend a massive amount of time trying to make all the right moves. The collective effort dedicated to picking good stocks, managers, exchange-traded funds, and so on, is immense. There are countless books, magazines, newsletters, podcasts, blogs, television programs, and more dedicated to helping investors make the best possible decisions when it comes to selecting and managing investments.

Far less energy and commentary is committed to the topic of how not to make the wrong moves. Here, I’ll discuss three common mistakes, all of which I’ve made (and will continue to make) myself. The three are related in that they are all behavioral issues that have been hard-wired into us over centuries. I’ll also share the potential consequences of these behav­ioral blunders and how you might be able to avoid them.

Mistake #1: Trying to Control Things You Can’t

Countless factors drive global markets. Randomness rules, so predicting how these myriad variables will influence securities’ prices is impossible. Thinking otherwise is foolish. Deep down, we all know this, but we prognosticate nonetheless. What’s more, we have a tendency to think that we not only know how the future will take shape, but that we have some part in shaping it.

Investors cannot control the path of interest rates, increases in productivity, the level of Amazon.com’s (AMZN) stock price, and so on, but we often act as though we can. The illusion of control is pervasive. It is in some ways a form of self-preservation, and it’s been linked to positive mental health. But as inves­tors, it can be hazardous to our wealth.

The illusion of control can lead to overconfidence. Overconfidence can lead to overtrading. Overtrading will almost inevitably leave you short of meeting your goals.

While I could go on forever enumerating the things that we cannot influence, the list of those things we can control as investors is much shorter. The most meaningful levers we can pull to affect our investment outcomes are as follows.

    Save. Sock away as much as you can. This is the investor’s equivalent of advising you to eat dark green leafy vegetables. We know it’s good for us, but we’d like it better on a pizza. The earlier we begin saving, the better, as it buys us more time for the magic of compounding to work in our favor.

    Invest. This may seem obvious, but the biggest determinant of your investment success isn’t which stocks or funds you pick, or how you allocate your assets, but simply whether you’re in the market at all.

    Allocate your assets appropriately. Asset-allo­cation matters, though it’s a distant second to simply being invested in the market. How you allocate your assets depends on your goals, your time horizon, and your willingness and ability to assume risk, among other things. Having an appropriate mix of stocks, bonds, and cash will do more to move the needle than trying to pick the best securities or managers you can find.

    Minimize costs. Fees, commissions, taxes—every penny spent covering these costs is a penny that will not compound over time to be savored down the road. So spend every penny wisely.

    Avoid taxes. Please note that I did not write “evade taxes.” While we can’t control tax policy, we can respond to it. Locating less tax-efficient assets (closed-end funds, for example) in tax-deferred accounts and investing in relatively tax-efficient vehi­cles (such as equity ETFs) in taxable accounts can help you avoid putting any more pennies into Uncle Sam’s pocket than you have to.

There are countless things investors cannot control, but we often kid ourselves into thinking we can. Avoid overconfidence by keeping this short list nearby. Give it a look the next time you think you know what the launch of the iPhone X will do for Apple’s (AAPL) stock price.

Mistake #2: Recency Bias

Recency bias describes our tendency to extrapolate our recent experience into the future. When my three-year old throws a tantrum, I tend to picture her as a grown woman kicking and screaming on the floor, even though I’m confident she’ll become a well-adjusted adult. Investors do the same. Stocks have been marching higher for the better part of a decade, so surely they’ll only continue to climb...right?

Recency bias can become particularly dangerous in bear markets. Falling stock prices can lead to panic selling, and shellshocked investors can be slow to get back in once markets rebound. There’s plenty of evidence that the psychological effects of the global financial crisis linger with investors to this day, as many of them have remained on the sidelines for much of the ensuing recovery. Remember, whether or not you are invested is the most painfully obvious determinant of your outcomes. Sitting out on a nearly decade-long rally has been a serious setback for many.

One of the bigger investment mistakes I’ve ever made can be partly attributed to recency bias. In February 2009, I bought shares of the paint, coatings, and chemicals manufacturer PPG Industries (PPG). The market was near its nadir, and this was a highly cash-generative company that had consistently raised its dividend for decades, was in good financial health, but was clearly going through a rough patch (what wasn’t?). I saw this as an once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity and acted on it.

One month later, I sold my shares. At the time, it seemed like the world was ending, I’d made a few bucks as the stock had bounced back, but it seemed to me at the time that the market—and maybe even the global economy—had more pain in store. Recency bias got the best of me.

What began as a contrarian move by value-oriented me turned out to be a costly mistake. From the time I bought PPG shares on Feb. 20, 2009, to the end of October 2017, the stock returned 27.6% annualized. Meanwhile, SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) gained about 17% annually during that same span. Having sold in March 2009, I missed out on virtually all of that recovery. My opportunity cost was greater still, as my recency bias led me to leave the proceeds of that sale in cash for years afterward.

How can we try to control recency bias? The first step is to recognize that it exists (in 2009, I wasn’t familiar with the concept). But that alone isn’t enough. Inevitably, we will be lured by the siren song of “This time is different.” It’s true that every zig and zag in the market is driven by distinct factors from the zigs and zags that preceded it. So, yes, technically speaking, every time is different. But what’s also true is that the long-term trend in markets has been positive for more than a century. Markets grow as economies grow as corporate earnings grow. This trend has persisted through countless crises. So if there’s any good way to avoid recency bias, I’d suggest that it would be to periodically look at the arc of the markets during the past 100-plus years as a reminder that every time is different, but the markets are still driven by the same fundamentals.

Mistake #3: Paying Too Much Attention

Our most meaningful investment milestones are decades away, but our attention is monopolized by the moment. Paying too much attention to our invest­ments today can put us at risk of missing goals that are years away.

One of the chief side effects of monitoring our invest­ments too closely is that it fuels our aversion to loss. Loss-aversion is but one suitcase among our abundant evolutionary baggage. The theory is that we feel far greater pain from losses than we experience pleasure from gains of equal magnitude. The tie to evolution is that Fred Flintstone had far greater incentive to avoid being mauled by a saber-toothed tiger than to order another oversize rack of ribs from his already-toppled car.

Loss aversion can have a meaningful impact on investor behavior. In “Myopic Loss Aversion and the Equity Premium Puzzle,” Shlomo Benartzi and Richard Thaler demonstrated that the disconnect between the duration of investor’s goals (retiring 30 years from now, for example) and the frequency with which they monitor their portfolios (typically at least once a year) leads to a behavior they coined “myopic loss aversion.” The likelihood of losses in any given one-year period is far greater than the probability of losing money over a longer horizon. But the authors found that annual reviews led investors to behave as if their investment horizon was a year out and not 10 or 20 or 30. This leads many to take less risk (by allocating less to stocks, for example) than is necessary to meet their longer-dated goals.

The best way to shake this behavior is to simply stop paying so much attention to the markets and our portfolios. I am a firm believer in an approach to port­folio monitoring and maintenance that borders on benign neglect. There is so much noise in the markets that the signal typically fades into the background. Tuning out the noise will also help to diminish the illu­sion of control and recency bias. In recent years, I personally have made a habit of only looking at my own investments once every few months or so. I’ve found that every time I turn up the volume knob on the market’s noise-making apparatus, it’s tempted me to tinker with my portfolio. While it’s tough to put the market on mute, I think we’d all be better served by tuning out a bit more often.
I appreciate what you said but i would like to add some point. According to me paying too much attention is not a problem because when you pay attention you became more active. Also paying too much attention can help in finding out the smallest difference occurred in the market, which would help individual to take decisions accordingly.

1. Too hasty, lack of knowledge

-This is a mistake that most investors when started. The hot growth of the market, the price of Bitcoin growth every day is the main motive for new investors to participate in this market. They are always afraid to miss the opportunity. So they hurried into the market and forgot to learn. So learn first. Be patient waiting for a price you think is good, or at least according to technical and market signals.

2. The goal is too big, greedy

-You should set goals when entering the market just to be profitable. Do not expect too soon to be rich or become a millionaire in a short time. When I join ico, it must reach x $ or x5, x10 for these ico, that actually kills me. When the price fell, I did not sell. That was a big mistake.
Most of the investors, trader has experience, they only want to increase their property by 30% in a month. They are too happy. Remember to a story put the grain on the chessboard with 64 boxes. Patience, not to lose, your property will quickly bulge
Remember to expect 30% of your assets, you are likely to lose 30%, expecting x5 x10 accounts quickly will help you to 1/5, 1/10 of investment capital.

3.Do not stoploss
-This is an extremely important lesson. Any experience or famous investors emphasize this. Stoploss help you have successfully trade up to 80%, do not know how to stoploss, you certainly never win, just fail sooner or later. You can not stop the market trend, stop loss is painless to want to do, but it protects your capital, help you get back to very quickly.

4. Try to resist the trend
-Try to resist the trend
You will be dying right away, which is the answer to trying to resist the crowd trend. In a festival, the whole crowd is joyfully moving forward, you just go back, you are immediately stamped to death. For the market too. When the crowd rushes to buy the excitement, you think the market will fall, you will certainly lose money. In contrast, when the market has strong sell trend, you try to hold the more losses. Get out as soon as possible and go earlier than the crowd.. If you run after the crowd, of course you will be able to die with the crowd, know enough and stop even though the crowd is still running. In every investment, in the long run the crowd has never won. When you are swept away so fast, as the car is so fast, braking slowly no matter what trouble will help you stop safely, waiting for the incident, whether the car is good but you also hurt less a lot of.
Yes i agree with you because the biggest mistake people did is that, they want to earn some extra money but due to lack of market knowledge always ended up with loss and this is the main reason that after suffering loss people then stop doing trading.
172  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: your mentality after a huge loss? on: April 16, 2018, 09:37:34 PM
What do you do after you suffer a huge loss?
If you have more money would you again take the risk and invest or would you just stop trading and try to earn in some other way?
If i suffer a huge loss and if i have some money left i will take risk and try to earn some profit so that j can reduce the gap of my loss.
Lossing in some thing help you to gain some experience and experience matters most. The more experience you gain the perfect you will become, and a good investor never afraid from lossing money.
173  Economy / Economics / Re: If the world uses a single currency on: April 16, 2018, 09:33:24 PM
If the world uses a single currency, will the economy be more stable?
This is a very interesting question. The sovereign nations issue their own currencies and are taken for granted by many people, but few consider whether this is the economically optimal option.
Yes it could be happen that after using single currency thst world  economy become more stable, it will be like using one currency for every thing ( trading, buying, selling, ingesting)
But the main thing is when countries starts holding this currency this will lead to increase in the price of that currency and which will effect other countries badly.
174  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you trade at multiple exchanges? on: April 16, 2018, 09:27:24 PM
Yes i do trade in multiple exchange because the gap between two exchange price it is very easy to do trading and earn profit but for that the one should always spend more time in recording the data of the exchanges
175  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the world’s 6th largest currency on: April 16, 2018, 09:13:56 PM
Yes, the way bitcoin is increasing its popularity i think within next five years it will become taken over all the other currencies and will become the number one currency in the world. But behaviour of other government bodies from different countries are also responsible for the growth of the bitcoin.
176  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Bitcoin is pretty easy on: April 15, 2018, 07:25:51 PM
trading bitcoin is easy only because of its nature. as every bad news effects it price and every good news help bitcoin to again recapture market. so if you think you should do trading then you also must have a good knowledge of market. the other thing that makes bitcoin easy for trading is its quality, altho people gives bad comments about bitcoin but they still keep a desire to buy bitcoin, and this help the traders to trade between the prices.
177  Economy / Economics / Re: Do we need regulations? on: April 15, 2018, 07:16:09 PM
i think yes we need regulations in cryptocurrency world because if there will be regulations then there the chances of frauds in icos will decrease because after regulations there will be strict rules like giving security money before starting ico, or other penalty. even after regulation there will be a good impact on the stability of the prices.
178  Economy / Economics / Re: Will future paper money disappear? on: April 15, 2018, 06:40:39 PM
there are many chances that future money might get disappeared because digital currency has many good things as compare to paper money ans some of the best things are.
1. payments are more secured between two parties
2. no theft and lost problem.
3. one can access his/her money at any time any where.
179  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hold out or sell Bitcoin? on: April 15, 2018, 06:37:15 PM
its better to buy and left coins for 10 to 20 years because in future if there will be any use of crypto coins then today's coin may be treated as an precious coin and it might happen that the value of such coins may be high at that time
180  Economy / Economics / Blockchain should take step now on: April 14, 2018, 05:03:38 PM
My question is for the whole community as we all know that blockchain technology is unique because every transaction and detail are secured between two parties, no other person can access our information or data.
As now there was a data leak has been caught. Do you people think blockchain should come in front of all public to challenge other and do you people give full support to this because blockchain in a new era of technology.
