1741  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are your thoughts for Bitcoin in 2017? on: December 06, 2017, 01:47:06 PM
Bitcoin value rose almost $11k this year and its very impressive breaking all records than previous years I believe it will continue to climb up to $15k to $18k til the end of the year hodl your btc for huge profit this month.

Many are focused on price for single bitcoin to reach 15k, this can actually happen with current demand and increase in price.
Only think that when this is all over we will see price going down for major correction and that correction will be around 10k maybe little less.

Also expecting to see that major selling when and if price reach this 15k.
2017 is really a year that bitcoin has a great breakthrough, the price of bitcoin increases over time and reaches a price that many people never think of, now it is 13,000 dollars and it is still no sign of stopping, so I believe that $ 15,000 will be the number that it will reach before Christmas and New Year begins. Bitcoin in 2017 brought too many emotions for us, especially to myself, first I feel pretty happy when I earn a pretty big amount of money from bitcoin, after that I felt quite regret when I sold my bitcoin quite early, at the time of the Bitcoin price is 9000 dollars, in short, 2017 was a year full of miracles with Bitcoin

When do you decide to sell?

Is it a sat, a % of profit, or even a randomly thought up number in your head?

I am new to trading Crypto, but when I traded other stocks, I would aim for a certain percentage.
This seems much easier to hit that percentage, but much more risky.

How do you determine when to let it go?

I do sell my coins/investments when it reached my target percentage usually my target is 30-50% of total investment. So when it reached 30%-50% i will sell it and the re invest it.
Well, and I think you will need to wait for a long time until your goal is complete, hope you divide the capital appropriately, should not focus on one place, that will make you miss many investment opportunities that can help you make a lot of money. Personally, I usually divide the capital into 2 parts, one part that I use to hold the altcoin potential for a long time, and I usually determine the price I will sell before I buy, the rest is I use to trading day and trading in the short term, normally, my target is 5-10% of total investment, this is a pretty safe figure
1744  Economy / Economics / Re: Where can i invest my money? on: October 16, 2017, 02:52:14 PM
I currently have 2mil usd for investment.

I wanna invest it on bitcoin. Where can I invest it?

Please give me all the alternatives

thanks!

also, please look at my first post I plan to build a mining farm: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1764338.msg17619998#msg17619998
You say that you have 2mil usd and want to invest on bitcoin, then go ahead and invest it over there. Smiley
Where can I invest it?
You mean where can you buy it?

That's a lot!, I've read that bitcoin is being mined and it's a bit costly to do mining because of the computer you need. I was thinking, since you have the that amount of money that you wanna invest, you could try investing on bitcoin mining farm. But I've also read that mining bitcoin is getting more difficult as every bitcoins are being mined, bitcoin has a specific amount that if they're already mined, them your mining farm would be of no use anymore. But if you have mined enough bitcoin to be considered as profit then I guess it is worth the investment.


today there are so many bitcoin miners that the competition will be even tighter, because the equipment they use is very big and sophisticated if we are small trying to compete I think it would be very difficult to get a block of bitcoin

Yes, Bitcoin is gradually becoming popular and many people have a lot of money wanting to invest in bitcoin, they do not have much free time and mining is the perfect choice for them, it helps them get passive income source best. And because of this, bitcoin mining becomes more difficult, mining equipment also becomes expensive, at present, mining is no longer the ideal destination for investment, time to recover capital is very long. I think now, it is best to invest money in the altcoin market, this is where we can make a lot of money, but first, we need to accumulate and study skills and experience to deal with risks
1745  Economy / Economics / Re: Money above all things, Yes or no ? on: October 16, 2017, 02:34:01 PM
Absolutely no, for me definitely my answer will be and will always be a no about putting money above all things. I know money is so important specially in what the world is in right now and without it we cant buy food and pay for other expenses. but making money as the priority is for me will never happen.


Money plays a very important role in our lives but for me it's a NO.Even if it affects to all that matters to my life I still believe that there is something money can't buy like love and life. We should work hard to provide ourselves and our family a good life but we should also work harder to prepare ourselves in the life after death.Keep the faith and money and any other kind of wealth will follow.

money indeed is not everything, but everything need money. at least we do must have a lot of money to make life happier. However, the fact that money can buy love and life. Sometimes a girls will choose a rich people than poor people.
Sure, money is not above everything but if we do not have money, we can not maintain our lives in a normal way, everything around us are related to money, food, electricity, water, personal expenses, ... And money can buy love very easily, I also wanted to have a beautiful love and not important in terms of money but life is never as we want, the girl I love does not like me just because I'm poor, however, I can not blame her, she needs a guy who can take care of her and protect her for a lifetime, not a poor person like me. And I think one thing that money can not buy, it is time, we have more money, we also can not change the time and go back to the past
1746  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is it too late to buy bitcoin? on: October 16, 2017, 02:14:01 PM
It's never too late to start something, in case of Bitcoins many predicted it will be around 10k + $ by the end of this year. So better buy now and you will see how good was you decision after few years.
Agreed never too late to start but we should look at the current price of bitcoin, it is quite expensive and we invest in it also has certain risks, so before buying bitcoin, we should determine whether we are able to accept the risk that it brings or not. Many people predict that it will reach $ 10,000 at the end of the year but all predictions are based only on numbers in the past, and what we are saying is the future, we can not be sure the price of bitcoin will still rise, if we have enough ability to lose, I have nothing to say, we can buy but if we can not afford to lose, we should have a wiser choice
1747  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many people left their full-time employment to go into Bitcoin? on: October 16, 2017, 01:50:49 PM
Many of my friends are quitting their jobs to focus on Bitcoin since they found that they can make much more money from Bitcoin trading or buying online.
Well, i can understand their point of view, the old job is so hard and not paying well, and they have high potential that they have the chance to exploit with Bitcoin related jobs.
But, what will happen in the future, what if bitcoin will dissapear, will they be able to get their jobs back. That's the most thing that makes me affraid and don't make this step.
Yeah, bitcoin is a good opportunity for so many people, it gives them a job with a high income, working time is dependent on them, it is not binding, they can do at home or anywhere with an internet connection and because of these reasons many people give up their main job. However, they do not know that bitcoin is a double-edged sword, not everyone can succeed and make a lot of money with it, the income with bitcoin is never stable, they are gambling with their future, if they succeed with bitcoin, they will have what they want but if they fail, they lose everything and they can hardly start over. So if anyone thought about quitting the job and focus on Bitcoin, they should think carefully, this decision will affect a lot of their future
1748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What did you buy for money won? on: October 15, 2017, 01:34:02 PM
I don't have the chance to spend the money that I win. Because at the first place I never win in gambling. Because when I feel that I'm winning, I keep on playing and hope to double my win. But in the end I always lost because of my greediness. But good for me that I play gambling occasionally.
That means you are quite greedy in gambling, you do not know how much money is enough, you have no limit to yourself, you only gamble to satisfy your greed and the result is greed that causes you to lose everything. I think you should have a plan and set a limit for yourself, and you should be happy with the win, sometimes the victory may be very small but you should feel lucky and accept it, I also often have small wins and I often withdraw money immediately then buy something for my family or go eat with them, I never allow greed to control me
1749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can gambling help you with your life? on: October 15, 2017, 01:20:44 PM
For me it somehow it relieves stress. I don't really take gambling seriously, I just do it for fun or thrill. It's stressing if

you would take it seriously. And, also it's scary if you're talking about big money. So, just moderate whatever you do when

gambling, so that you'll enjoy it.


I enjoy gambling too, and that's because I don't take it seriously either. I think that's where problems start, when people start taking gambling too seriously, like their life depends on it and stuff. Don't do that, guys. Always take it easy.
I also enjoy gambling as well, and as what you have said you are all right. When people start taking gambling too seriously that's the start of their problem with gambling. Don't take it serious since we can't get stable profit in gambling, and in my opinion, gambling is created for fun and entertainment.
Of course, the purpose of gambling is to entertain, if we think gambling is the way to make money, what we get is just the loss and anger, many people are very serious about winning and losing in gambling, that loses the meaning of the game and affects their joy. For me, gambling only helps me to be more comfortable in life, sometimes it reduces the pressure from work and break the boredom in me, we should simplify every problem, do not think too much about profits in gambling, it's not good for us in the process we play gambling
1750  Economy / Economics / Re: Can you really make money on Forex? on: October 15, 2017, 12:31:57 PM
I think if the forex risk is too high. I never lose money in forex if we play 100 $ in one time all will be exhausted. there is nothing left if our bitcoin can neutralize defeat in this bitcoin very positively in terms of bitcoin I think I just fall in love with bitcoin.
Forex trading is not that much popular as compared to that of bitcoin trading. You can actually make money while dealing with forex but the amount of money which you’ll be earning will not be that much high. Moreover, it depends on your experience and skillset as well. Till the time you are not master in forex trading, it is difficult for you to make good money.
Forex trading is so hard because you need to study a lot of things before you gain enough knowledge to make money in forex. It is better to just trade cryptocurrencies like in poloniex or bittrex because they are easier to do rather than forex because even you only have basic knowledge about trading then you can still make money because they are not too complicated.
I agree with you, forex requires us to have a lot of knowledge and skills, if we do not have enough of these elements, we can not exist in the forex market, this is a very dangerous place, we just make a mistake, it can also take away a lot of our money. We really can make money on forex but that would not be easy, I also participated in forex and I made some money but right after that, I made a mistake and it made me lose everything, danger always stalking. Trading altcoin and bitcoin is safer, I see a lot of people from the forex are turning to trading altcoin
1751  Other / Off-topic / Re: What's your way of spreading Bitcoin knowledge? on: October 15, 2017, 12:14:34 PM
Personally, if I'm in a coffee shop or any store with some people, I pull out my wallet and subtly show them my Xapo debit card. Then they get curious on what kind of card is that since it doesnt look like the usual Mastercard or creditcard. Then I explain it from there on.

What's your way of spreading Bitcoin knowledge? Smiley

I only discuss bitcoin to my family and close friends who I think can easily understand these cryptocurrencies. I chose people whom I will open this topic because I think some people cannot really absorbed what you are really trying to explain. Also,  the internet and social media sites are great help.The moment I opened up bitcoin topic,  I will follow up by showing some proof of what I have payed or bought by using Bitcoin.
I also often discuss Bitcoin with my friends in school because they are people who often work with computers, they know about bitcoin is a very easy thing, what they lack is clear knowledge and belief in bitcoin, and I'm a person who helps them get more knowledge about bitcoin and answer their questions about bitcoin. And when a group of people in the class to talk about Bitcoin, others will focus and excitement about the story, this is one way that I spread knowledge about bitcoin
1752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can trading be considered as gambling?? on: October 14, 2017, 04:18:32 PM
I also feel that trading is almost similar to gambling. because when we are trading we are also hoping to earn profit by way of betting. for example when we buy it cheap, we expect the market to go up and we sell it, whereas when we sell it when the market price drops from our purchase price, we will lose. almost the same as gambling. it just my opinion, what do you think about it?

Some people really think trading is also gambling well we have to admit that some part of the trading is gambling but for me it really depends on your goal and the mindset you have, in trading you really have to analyze the market so you can make good money in gambling my thought is you only depends on chances and the probabilty of winning is not that so high.
Yes, gambling and trading have some similarities but we can not consider trading as gambling because in gambling, we rely solely on luck, analytical skills and experience not used too much, in trading, we rely on analytical skills and experience, luck is only a part. In addition, in gambling only win and lose, when we make the final decision, we will not be able to stop but in trading we can lose but then can still win by holding and wait, and we can stop whenever we want, trading requires analysis and calculation, if we only rely on luck, we will fail quickly
1753  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the best way to make money with bitcoin in 2017? on: October 14, 2017, 04:06:22 PM
You can just hold bitcoin for a long time and make good money on it. Those who bought it last year already became very rich because of the fact that in 2017 it grew rapidly.

Holding is the best way to make money with your bitcoin and whatever you'll do, don't forget that this is the most effective way to make money. This strategy will never get old because I never have trouble of saving bitcoin and holding it for a long time. You know what if I just don't have some other things to spend my bitcoin I will save it until 10 years or even longer because it's the time that the price of bitcoin is unexpected.
Yeah, this is the best and safest way to make money with bitcoin but the profit will be not too high if we do not have much bitcoin, so I think if anyone owns a large amount of bitcoin, this would be suitable for them. To me, one who does not have much bitcoin, I choose to trade bitcoin and altcoin to make money, holding does not have much effect for me, it just wastes time and misses many of my earning opportunities, although the risk is high but based on analytical skills and experience, I can minimize the risk
1754  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: regret by not believing in BITCOIN? on: October 14, 2017, 12:54:43 PM
who among you here heard bitcoin back in 2009 and 2010? I was one of the people who is very skeptical about it and I really regret it. Sad I missed the best opportunity for a lifetime.
Yeah. I am one of the people who doesn't believe back 2010. That time I thought bitcoin is only a junk, scam and illegal. I can't believe that I am now using bitcoin and I treated the bitcoin now as a treasure.
You've such wasted a lot of years before you believe that bitcoin is true, I've just known bitcoin last year and I really regret the months that I don't have any interest in it. Luckily that now, I am using it and know how to earn it and I am so grateful to know bitcoin more.
I think most of us are the ones who regret because really no one can think of a virtual currency that can reach a tremendous value and has great potential as Bitcoin, if we start in 2009, I believe that now that we have become millionaires, we can buy a car, buy a house and live a comfortable life. But life is never the same as what we think, we should accept that, and I still feel we are still lucky because many people still do not know about bitcoin and are still starting to research it but we can still know and recognize the value of bitcoin, that was a lucky thing for us
1755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you know when to stop? on: October 13, 2017, 06:30:38 PM
It is quite simple to know when to stop. It is when you feel like you are not going to win or gain profit. Let me elaborate, when you, for example, have 0.01 btc, then you won another 0.01 btc, but the next game you lost it, and then you lost 0.005 btc. That is when you stop because you cannot risk another 0.005 btc. And what I meant by stop is that you should get another 0.005 btc to play with it again because if you are to play with the 0.005 btc, what makes you sure you will win? I hope you get my point.

Yeah, I got your point and you are right, but it is quite simple for you and also me. But it is difficult for addicted gamblers, and also your advice is useless for them, because you and me play gambling for entertainment and winning money, and when we see our budget is going over then on the spot we stop ourself. But addicted gamblers have no limit to stop, even their money has been finished then they borrow to others and start to play gambling.
you can heal your gambling addiction as long as you have strong will to make it happen.

and then the problem , the struggle to stop gambling at the right time will get handled. if you can deal with your greedy when you have achieved the profit equal to your initial deposit , you will leave it immediately . not to stay there and get busted in few minutes.
ALl we need to quit or do something is determination and the decision. Once someone has made his mind, he must never go back on his words. This is how legends are. They don't change their statements and mind now and then. Gambling is not just only useless game but it is harmful also. If a person will repeat this statement to himself ten times a day, he will give up gambling.
yes it might work , keep in mind about how gambling could destroy your life sooner or later.  but it always easy said than done , better looking for real action , for example to ask someone to shut down your computer when you have achieved the money enough.

for sure to have got a 100% profit more than enough. that is the real time you have to stop.
In my opinion, stop whenever the idea of stopping appears in the mind. Sometimes it is good to listen to your brain instead of just following your desires and feelings.

If emotions get control over a person, then they can really destroy the life of that person given that these are negative emotions and gambling just produces these ones. Except this, winning a jackpot can also become the last gambling game.
Sometimes the idea of stopping appears in my mind but I still can not stop gambling, because I have a lot of different emotions in gambling, that made me not listen to the mind's control. Easier said than done, if you do not fall into situations where emotion becomes chaotic, you will not understand stopping gambling is a very difficult thing, personally, I just stop when my body speaks out about fatigue and exhaustion, and my body requires me that it needs immediate rest
1756  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Better investement right now, bitcoins or Altcoins. on: October 13, 2017, 06:11:28 PM
For me and others they are mostly buying BTC rather than alt because of btc going high and alt coin bleeding and dont know when to stop.
Altcoin is also a good coin but it is only preferred in case you are planning for day trading. Otherwise there is no way that you can get any profit by keeping those altcoins. Bitcoin is more profitable than any other coin. There is no point of denying the worth and value of bitcoin. Bitcoin is no doubt the best investment of all the times.


I think you have said wrong, trading days are only suitable for professional traders, they have many skills and experience, trading day helps them to make more profit, most other traders choose to hold altcoin to make a profit, and holding altcoin can bring huge profits, even better holding Bitcoin if it's a potential altcoin because altcoin often get much more powerful pump. Currently, if we have capital, I think this is a good time for us to accumulate altcoin, the price of altcoin is very cheap, after October 25, the price of altcoin will rise strongly again, now bitcoin has a very high price, investing in it will not bring us too much profit
1757  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: October 12, 2017, 02:57:25 PM
The value of bitcoin and gold falls and keeps growing in the market. so both are true at their level and i would like to use both.
in fact, I'm more than confident that such a metal as gold will be very appreciated at all times. We see that from the time of the Stone Age, the whole life of man has been put in order to obtain wealth, which is gold. What a fight of currency and securities valuable did not go in use, gold always has a very huge demand. So I would not put gold with Bitcoin on one level.

I don't agree with you quote because bitcoin is far better than gold.Ofcourse gold has its own potential on market but bitcoin slashes everything and came up above all of others.If you invested on bitcoin in one or two years before today you maybe a millionaire.Even today is not too late buy your bitcoin and enjoy your future life.If you invested the same amount on gold your profit amount maybe 20 % but the same on bitcoin is 1000% more profits.So be wise on what you investing.
It is really up to the person's preference in making decision for his investment and if the person wants to invest in a low risk and safer type of investment then they will probably go for gold because of the stability but if they want a faster and higher return then they will invest in the higher risks type of investment like bitcoin that is clearly better than gold in terms of profit.
Exactly, investing in gold is less risky and stable in the long run but it does not bring too much profit, investing in gold would be suitable for people seeking a safe investment, Bitcoin is the opposite, it is high risk but the profit is also high, it is suitable for people seeking wealth and want to have high profits. Personally, I think we should invest in bitcoin because this is the best opportunity to help us become rich, good opportunity never has much, we should not miss, if we want to look at other people with a look of admiration and dream, let's invest in gold but we want to escape from normal life, want others to see us with admiration, invest in bitcoin, this is my sincere sharing
1758  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is a good investment now, because... on: October 12, 2017, 02:22:49 PM
Bitcon is a good for investment now because btc's price is continue rising. It's a great chance of more earning in the future if it will continue to pump.
Yeah, now Bitcoin still tend to continue to rise, I think it will soon reach 5500 dollars, Bitcoin is really a good investment because it gives us a huge amount of profit, if we invest bitcoin in a few years ago, we can become new millionaires. And at present, it is still attracting a lot of new investors and governments of countries in the world to invest in it, I believe that with this help, a large amount of money will flow into the bitcoin and help the bitcoin reach a higher value than ever before, we just need to be patient and believe in bitcoin, it will not make us disappointed
1759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: can gambling give you lessons in life? on: October 11, 2017, 10:07:13 AM
Definitely it can !!
According to my own experience, gambling in some games could gives you some lessons that life cannot during years.
Let us take as an example, the decrease of the greed in my attitude and how to control it that I learned thanks to the gambling.

Almost all gamblers get lesson from gambling, but some gamblers get good lesson and some gamblers get bad lesson from gambling, even they take the hardest life because of gambling. But you are lucky ones, that's why you get a good lesson and have good effect in your life. Eventually i see a luckiest gambler who said that gambling learn him the good lesson of life.
Yeah, each gambler will receive many lessons from gambling, some people will recognize the lesson after they lost two or three times in gambling, some people will recognize the lesson when they lose everything in gambling. But the purpose of the lessons comes from gambling is to tell us that gambling is not to make money, it is just entertainment, do not dream of a rich life after a few clicks, we should focus on a more realistic life, get up and go to work.

The whole world doesn't know that all of us crypto followers are making piles of cash because of this opportunity. Our advantage is we are the early adopters of this technology and before everyone knows all of this we are already millionaires.
Yes, technology will always develop over time, crypto is a technology that has a lot of potential and it is the trend of the future, even many people predict it could replace cash. And the present crypto is only in the early stages of popularity and development, we were able to make a lot of profit from it, if it really exploded and develop stronger, I believe our lives can go to new pages, so we should try to earn as much as possible, that would be great for us in the future
