Usually they recommend you to diversify your investment, so you avoid losses.
But as a real approach, having $1.5k, would you invest in how many cryptocurrencies ?
What if I invest little by little, only in Bitcoin, would that work as well ?
Bitcoin surged to a new high of $X today, up over Y percent from Z months ago. If you had invested $A just B years ago you would have made $C and you’d be filthy rich.” Currently, this is the only way most people talk about bitcoin. It’s viewed as a buy and hold vehicle for fast capital appreciation. But the savvy investors and smart money around the world is far more focused on how to actually use bitcoin than just getting their hands on it and holding. Now I see that the best investment portfolio for July and August of 2018 needed to contain 100% Bitcoin. Look how deep the altcoins descended recently. Even Ethereum significantly lost its value comparing to Bitcoin, and dominance of BTC reached 55%. So diversifying between Bitcoin and other crypto currencies is not always profitable. Although sometimes the prices of a certain coins or tokens soar up higher than Bitcoin, these investments are more risky due to the low overall capitalization. I think that the diversifying should be between fiat and crypto. Don't keep all your wealth in crypto currencies, buy shares, mutual funds or other assets too. |

We are not panic but the final version of the market is annoying, as long as there is no new money entry into the market, the manipulators are trying to earn money over falling prices.
I guess the new money will enter into the crypto exchange markets when the prices of a coins will fall significantly. This is a trigger to invest in Bitcoin or other crypto currencies. As I can see, the current support level of Bitcoin is about $5900, and the new money likely can come there if the BTC price will achieve the support level. I think the "whales" shake the markets in order to the new people start to buy and hold a crypto currency. Nobody (except the manipulators) knows what the global direction of the price movement will occur on the crypto exchange markets in the near future, that's why people are afraid of sustaining losses and do panic sales using stop-loss orders. |

Мои первые посты на текущей странице были обновлены. На этой неделе нет новых Легенд и Героев. В русской локали новый Сеньор Xal0lex (модератор форума) и три новых Фулла: Cryptoshka, crypmike, Afina_22. Последний сейчас больше активен, точнее активна, в английской ветке. Поздравления!
Вы отметили что довольно легко набрать 10 меритов
Данную фразу, скорее, нужно понимать в сравнении так, что Мембером стать в десять раз легче, чем Фуллом.
мне потребовалось полгода. достичь следующего ранга и 100 меритов для меня недостижимая вершина. писать полезные посты и ждать за них мериты можно еще дольше, можно и не дождаться.
Раньше давались мериты за помощь в модерации русской локали и выявление нарушений. Теперь эта практика прекращена. Для зарабатывания меритов нужно писать полезные посты. |

To be honest, I thought that some large crypto exchange market was hacked a few days ago when the altcoins including Ethereum were dropped down to -20%. The hackers are becoming very smart indeed. They can do much things. I'm sure that the trading platforms should invest in their security a lot of money from the budget, because every successful hacking smears their reputation. People won't use an unreliable exchange markets and will go away to a competitors. But, unfortunately, hacking one large exchange markets can significantly affect on the global crypto currency market.

If you think you can't handle the current market trend then better refrain from doing trades for now and hodl what you currently have. Besides BTC and ETH are worth to put a shot on hold no matter how risky it is. Continuing will just lead you into more losses because you are out of strategy due to being worried and can't think properly what things to be done.
There are lots of traders who are still in action even with the trend like this today because they know what they are doing. If your purpose is to hold for long then disregard the price but instead add some quantities on your stash. If no more ammos then patiently wait. Again, if you can't handle the pressure, sit back and relax for now while waiting for your expected target price.
The crypto exchange markets looks nice today. Almost all the altcoins are green and their prices are growing +20%. It seems the bulls have come and the bears have gone. Some of the top altcoins soared up even to +35%. I think that there is no need to stop trading in the bear market and sit back and relax without any activity. Make your bid/ask orders even if all the prices are red. The negative trend can change any time, thus you can buy the crypto currencies for a cheap price. Try to catch the wave and buy the dip. |

I am holding for the better price.
The better price of Ethereum was weeks and months ago. In my opinion, the previous dump of altcoins -20% will be repeated soon, so I don't expect any significant rising of ETH or other altcoin. Now the large investors will struggle against the global negative trend on crypto exchange markets and they will try to focus all their funds onto Bitcoin until this September in order to BTC looks a very capitalized crypto currency which deserves to be an asset for ETF. Personally I use Ethereum mostly for trading, but I don't hold ETH for a long time. Sometimes I shift to Bitcoins and contrary. |

Now I see how Bitcoin is staying above $6000, but the altcoins are falling sharply -20%. The price of Ethereum and its token has decreased very low, to the levels of autumn 2017. I even suppose that someone exchanged the confiscated bitcoins to the altcoins and cash them out for a fiat money. Probably the second reason is the expected ETF approval. Currently the large investors are trying to keep the capitalization of Bitcoin above 100 billion US dollars to fulfill the requirements of the SEC for an asset of ETF, therefore the funds of altcoins are being transferred to the funds of Bitcoin.

My idea is to create a website were you can buy a max of $20 (or maybe $50) using CC. Your credit card is then recorded and you will not be able to make another payment on the site (or maybe only after a year or so). Hence, if you can only buy $50 per year, there is no way you can launder money.
I guess the verifying using CC and KYC are similar. In both of the cases a BTC buyer loose his anonymity, because a credit card is connected to the ID of a person. The problem is that a launder can hire the thousands of people with their credit cards and such a way cash his money out in many transactions. |

I don’t agree with the title: it’s not a “good jobs” crisis, it is a behavior crisis. It is easier to save money if you make $200,000 a year than if you make $20,000 a year but what usually happens is that the guy making $200,000 a year tends also to live paycheck to paycheck. He gets a much bigger house (or two), a much more expensive car (or two), spends more on vacation and so on.
I agree with you. This is subjective. The statement "from paycheck to paycheck" means that the workers spend all money they earns. Nothing else. The salaries can differ very significantly. Some people received a loans and they pay to banks every month. And this is subjective too, because the amount of a loans differs. Someone took a loan for buying an ordinary car, other took a loan for buying a car of the premium class. All of them will say "I live from paycheck to paycheck". |

Bitcoin has existed since 2009 for 9 years and no ETF is needed.
Nobody is saying bitcoin will cease to exist without the ETF, but without good news or things to get excited about bitcoin will stagnate or fall in value like it did on the mere decision to postpone the announcement. What do you think will happen to bitcoin if they come out and flat out deny it? It isn't going to be good. Do you suppose that the price of Bitcoin will fall if the ETF will be rejected by the SEC this September? It seems that almost all the altcoins has been already exchanged to Bitcoin, but BTC is still on the levels of $6200. I guess that the investors will try to keep the capitalization of Bitcoin above 100 billion US dollars in order to BTC looks respectable for ETF approving. |

Let's see what bounty pool is allocated from General fees.Basically it is 1-3%.How can this amount affect the price of a coin?I can also say with confidence that many participants of the bounty do not sell their coins.So blame the participants wrongly bounty.
Some bounty hunters sell their earned tokens for a ridiculous price, because they have no time to wait until the token will grow on the crypto exchange markets. They buy the very cheap orders and sometimes the price is dumped down to 10% for a short period. Nowadays some ICO teams delay the transferring a tokens to the bounty hunters. Thus, the bounty hunters can dump the price but only if they will create an massive downward trend. |

Do this math
1- 90% are loosing. 10% are winning
2- if 10% are winning they have to win exact the same money those 90% lost - that means that they win 10 times more than other loose (because there are 10 times more loosers) - the only possibility for that is that they invested 10 times more - they are whales.
3- the only possibility to be in those 10% is to be a whale or to swim with whales
4- It is impossible for whale to use AT because it is impossible to buy huge amount of assets on AT buy signal because everyone is buying there (included AT bots). Whales dont use AT - they create AT. If they wont to buy they need strong supply - AT must give sell signal. If whale want to sell he need strong demand - AT must give buy signal than.
5- to swim with whales you need to know AT but dont fallow it like stupid 90% of loosers. Use it to find whales to swim with them.
I totally agree with you. The primary task in a successful crypto trading is a trying to swim in the same direction with "whales". In other words, you buy when the "whales" have sold out their coins and you sell when the "whales" are preparing to sell their coins. This trading style is the most profitable indeed. But this trading signals are in secret and the ordinary trader need to predict the best time to make a bid/ask orders. About 90% of crypto traders looses their funds. This is a hard truth. You're right. But if these newbies will read some books about trading basics, they won't make a lot of mistakes. So any successful trader need to learn first. |

Are you kidding? Please, look at the charts of ethereum and bitcoin. There are the very strong downtrends in these assets. I am already tired to watch these downtrends. Last several days I saw quotations and market was stably in the red zone showing from -3% to -20% by assets. I think that in such a situation it is strange to talk about a safe haven because I am sure that prices will continue slashing.
It is a pity that I am still holding ETH and I acknowledge that I have mistaken with this bought. Well, I am frank with you talking about the current market situation and I consider that crypto assets in the current moment of time is not a good choice for investing and I am not sure that crypto assets will be strong in a period of the further crisis.
You are only seeing things as they are now, we are talking about how the events may unfold in the future in the case of a crisis, and we have seen several local examples of this and one of the most notorious is Venezuela, the inflation in that country is terrible and people are looking for ways to improve their situation, some use dollars but dollars are scarce in their country and many people have began using bitcoin and other crypto to store their wealth. In the case the US dollar fails what can you use to protect yourself from that? Gold and silver are good options but not many have them and can be easily confiscated, but cryptocurrencies can be held without no one knowing you have them and even if someone knows they cannot take them away without your keys so in that way crypto is safer to store than gold or silver. Yes, the financial anonymity can be very important during the times of an economical crisis, so the crypto currencies can be useful for saving a wealth. But I don't see any failure of USD. In contrary, currently the US dollar is a very profitable asset in comparing to the fiat currencies of other countries. Recently some of these fiat currencies have crashed down to 20%. Who knows, maybe non-US investors sold their crypto currencies and bought the US dollars to exchange them later and gain profits. In my opinion, the investment portfolio should be diversified by crypto and fiat. |

Мои три поста на первой странице были обновлены опять. Обнаружен новый русскоязычный источник меритов - esmanthra. Теперь в русском локальном форуме 5 мерит-сорсов.
В русском локальном форуме достоверно определены три источника меритов: xandry, klarki и chimk. Вы предлагаете выделить их в таблице красным цветом?
Не обязательно красным. Можно выбрать любой, отдельный, может быть темно-синий, да или просто полужирным, [/b] Я буду записывать в таблице всех источников меритов жирным шрифтом, при этом русскоязычных пользователей буду выделять синим цветом. |

My three posts on the first page were updated again. The new merit sources were detected. It seems that stingers was a merit source from January, 2018. I guess that his account was hacked in February, 2018, and now the hacker has given all sMerits out. |

Panic is not a good thing for any investor. I can say that you have not any reason to panic nowadays, we all have a great future
Look at the price charts. Today the crypto exchange markets are falling drastically by more than 10%. I guess that many people are in panic and are selling all their coins and tokens to reduce a losses. I don't know whether the "whales" decided to cash out from the crypto exchange markets or not, but I see the negative trend especially in altcoins. The panic is a normal behavior if it has a reliable reasons and basis. The decisions made in panic can be correct too. |

Now the crypto exchange markets are crashed by -10% in average, Ethereum costs about $320. Honestly, I don't think that Ethereum will hit $200. In my opinion, the nearest support level of ETH is $280. Such price was in autumn 2017 before Bitcoin and other top coins including Ethereum were skyrocketed on the crypto exchange markets. Therefore I guess that many people will buy ETH for $280 and this price will be a local minimum.

Sometimes I trade my ERC20-tokens on Etherdelta. Forkdelta is yet another web-interface that works with the smart contract "etherdelta_2". Yes, both of these decentralized exchange markets are safe for trading especially if you use the Metamask plugin. I have many tokens deposited on this smart contract and they can't be stolen.
