Alright. Main question: Is it better to hold or to trade?

This completely depends on YOU. Are you a good trader? Can you make consistent decent profit from trading? Are your predictions accurate? Do you like high risk, high reward due to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies' in general's volatility? Then go with day trading!

Do you like to play the long game? Do you like to invest in something but with lower risk? Do you like to relax or do something else and not stare at charts 24/7? Then go with holding! It's just simple as that.

Some are, some aren't. You just have to pick the few good ones. We're talking about investing here; so make sure to do a lot of research before sending up your bitcoin or ethereum to the ICO's address. I won't list the things what you need to find in an ICO to minimize the risks of being scammed because I've posted it in these boards a numerous times already. Read through past similar threads to find decent answers.

There are actually so much ICOs right now. And the number are still increasing.

It completely depends on what the transaction fee you've chosen. Obviously the lower, the slower; the higher, the faster. Also, you can only cancel transactions with 0 confirmations by simply double spending, sending the bitcoins to yourself with a higher transaction fee (feel free to quote and correct me on this).

There are no legit bitcoin doublers. Think about it. Why in the world would you double a person's bitcoin? If there were legit bitcoin doubler websites then fucking hell I would be retired by age 20 and I would just be somewhere like Vegas gambling all my money because who cares? If I lose a huge amount of my money I can double my money again on bitcoin doublers!  

It really confuses me how people believe in this shit. smh.       /end rant

I've read the article. While it is currently unconfirmed, I wouldn't be surprised if they indeed attempt to ban bitcoin completely (again LUL) even though it's a bit unlikely. But yea, this should be currently be on the FUD category as I don't think there are currently any sources that could back up WSJ's claims in that article.

Take a look at this tweet a few days ago (NOTE: UNCONFIRMED): https://twitter.com/btcdrak/status/908998917995552776

Transaction fees of these cryptocurrencies you've listed changes everytime and isn't constant.

You can have an idea on how much the fees will be and how long the transactions will take by looking at the current number of unconfirmed transactions. Here's the links:

litecoin: https://bchain.info/LTC/
ethereum: https://etherscan.io/txsPending

If the exchange you're storing your bitcoins in gets fucked, you get fucked along with them. Depending on what device your using, I would suggest Copay if you're an android user or Electrum if you prefer storing your bitcoin in your windows computer. But since you have 2 bitcoin, I'm gonna assume you can afford hardware wallets so I'd personally purchase a Ledger Nano S or a Trezor for more extra security.

It's really important that you have control over your wallet's private keys.

If you really want to earn fast, seriously. Go get a job. You're not going to earn much from signature campaigns here especially you being just a "Member". Spend your time learning and getting your activity high for now.

If you want to earn through investing, probably do research on bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies and allocate a small reasonable percentage of your savings to those coins and just hope the demand goes higher along with the price.

But seriously, there's no free money here. Looking at your post history, it doesn't look like you know much about bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general enough for a good signature campaign (like chipmixer ) to pay you decent money. Make it a habit of doing research first, then ask questions here after if you couldn't find answers to your questions. Your questions on this subforum seems to be too repetitive as I've seen alot of similar questions here in the past.

This is a great strategy if you could pull it off. The only issue is that, how certain are you that the coin you picked will reach up to 800% gains? I hope not, but who knows the coin you picked might just simply fall off coinmarketcap and become irrelevant after a year or so? That's why investing in cryptocurrencies always has a somewhat gambling aspect.

It's a pretty solid plan though. You just need to buy the right coins in the right time.


I'm not saying you shouldn't invest in bitcoin, but investing in certain altcoins has way more potential for bigger profits. It's just simply high risk high reward though.

What do you mean with "BTC price has rising twice"? The short time price shifts of bitcoin has ALWAYS been up and down(as you can see on the 24hr chart); simply because bitcoin is still in it's infancy stage. And you cant predict what the price trend is going to be just from looking at the prices 4 hours ago. There's really alot more to the recent price that decides what the future price trend will be. Though yea the price slowly but surely improving a bit, but it doesn't mean it cant go down once more.

Yeah.. I highly doubt most moderators would be willing to escrow transactions of random users. Especially without cuts.

To OP. Check this out. It's a small list compiled by marcotheminer; not sure if this is updated though: Topic: Bitcointalk Escrows - Trade Safely!

I couldn't count how much signature campaign users that always has like 6 lines of topic posts but their post in general could be shortened to a one or two sentence post. Adding too much irrelevant terms and statements obviously just to increase the word count. 

This question has been asked a hundred times here already. Don't be lazy and browse through the past threads in this subforum.

What's your strategy when buying altcoins?
Altcoins worth investing
How to know legit altcoin that offer legit ICO? | slightly different, but what to look for on altcoins and what to look for on ICOs should basically have the same criteria.

Thanks for clearing that up. I think you're looking for something similar to this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l89ipulWLc

That's using the Google Translate Android/iOS app. Not sure how you'd do that on pc. 

You took the job knowing you need to know the language you're translating the ANN thread to. Why do you need to use a tool to translate it if you can understand what the photo says?

Closed exchanges are significant long term. Might just be one country(China), but lets not forget how big China is(roughly 4x the population of the United States). Yes, bitcoin will surely live on with or without China, but if I remember correctly China has decent adoption in the past in terms of Bitcoin usage, and also China has a significant number of miners. So without China, it will definitely slow down the adoption of bitcoin a bit.

I'm not sure about this, but isn't international cryptocurrency exchanges blocked by China's great firewall? If not, they're probably gonna be blocking it soon. So I would assume OP's definitely gonna need a decent VPN to access those exchanges.

Also, there are rumors about China planning on blocking bitcoin. I repeat. It's a rumor.

Completely depends on what your skills are. You could always join gig sites like Fiverr.com then use your earnings to buy bitcoin. Like I said, payrates completely depends on what your skills are, so if you're good at something, expect better pay, vice versa. Or probably join a signature campaign here in the forums. It's basically being paid to make constructive posts.                   Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns

Basically when using a faucet, you solve a captcha then you get a very very small fraction of a bitcoin. I wouldn't suggest doing this at the payout is very very low. I'd rather work at a fastfood chain like McDonalds then use the money to buy bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general.

For the readers out there, this is still UNCONFIRMED. Though I personally think this is really really possible.

I understand that China can easily ban bitcoin exchanges from their firewall, but I don't know how they're gonna totally block p2p network from their "great" firewall.

About the Chinese miners though, I'm pretty sure they're gonna need to spend a good amount of money to oppose the Chinese government in court. Jihan's probably gonna need to move to another country LUL.
