Like when learning to drive a car, not only is the practice you have to do, before practice you have to know the basics and theories for driving a car. Likewise with crytocurrency, when you decide to invest there you already know all about the ICO, and you believe it. When you believe there you know the risk of what will happen if the ICO fails or scams. This is not about what motivates, but a matter of self-confidence in one's own decisions.
I prefer trading when prices are unstable, because in my opinion this is the time to buy, where prices will rise more than 2% normally. But the time period cannot be determined for how long it will be held. I am not a reliable trader, but I know when I will lose and when I will make a profit.
It looks like this will be the beginning of a BTC rise again, and I think this 7k will be stable or will Rise until the end of the year, For some reason I believe that by the end of this year BTC will go up. My predictions BTC will be up to $ 9k by the end of the year. Hopefully.
For you it's all myth, but the thing you have to understand is that BTC / ETH is a digital asset, and digital assets are very volatile. The selling price can change very significantly, it could go down, it could also rise, and as we see now 2018, the crypto currency is currently falling and will definitely rise at the end of the year, I believe it...
Of course, success without effort and sacrifice is impossible. as well as the desired achievement. The sacrifice that I mean is buying in 2017 and still survive today even though prices are getting worse. And the effort that I mean is mental and strong belief that bitcoin will rise more than before. Keep spirit guys. Hodler Always Win ^^
There are many ways to research ico, the easiest thing to do is check all the Team members involved, find out the achievements that have been achieved (especially the owner), and read the Whitepaper carefully, generally bad ico always writes Whitepaper with some error. And don't forget to monitor the ico's Social media updates.
You're great, I can't imagine if I became you now. I also have the same beliefs as you, but my weakness is panic about the risks that could occur. Anything can happen to cryptocurrency, hopefully next year is a bright day for all ( HODLER ALWAYS WIN ) .
You only need to analyze the market for each coin / token. If you want to do short trades and small profits, choose coins / tokens with large volumes and high prices. This is just a simple thought from me. As we know coin / tokens with high prices now are BTC and ETH, it will be more profitable if you trade with many Altcoins.
