Business in Bitcoin is your first secret of Success... Look at sqaure cash stock price between the time when it announced bitcoin bull and sell on its platform user acceptance testing and now.. It was $30 back then, and now it is $54.

Consensys is starting in 2 days... I think it will remain green now- for this week and for the rest of the month.. The 3-day Consensus event of 2018 is coming on May 14 to discuss everything about blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Retrospecting the effect of last year’s Consensus event, it certainly had a huge influence on the cryptocurrency market. The event of 2017 resulted in the gain of 26 percent in the total market cap in comparison to 2016’s small 2.7 percent. On the evening of the event, the bitcoin price surged to $2,000 and triggered the bull run of June.

Over the years, the event has become bigger as people realize the potential of crypto markets. From 2016’s 1,500 to 2017’s 2,700 attendees, this year the event is going to be much bigger with 4,500 attendees.

With 250+ speakers and 4,500 attendees willing to come together, the event has plausibility to bring trust and a bullish trend in the crypto market space. As the 2017’s Consensus event triggered a bullish trend in cryptocurrency, this event is going to bring positive sentiments to the market.

There seems to be no denying that governments can ban cryptocurrencies. Bolivia, Ecuador, Kyrgyzstan, and Bangladesh have already done so. Russia issued a draft bill to ban cryptocurrencies in October 2014 and recent rumors suggest it might follow through.


Invest only what you are willing to loose 

Even if you don't think all altcoins are scams, it's simply a waste of time to investigate and then still run a huge risk that it turns out to be a scam or failure or that the exchange you use takes your money. Partaking in pump and dumps might have you end up with a bit of profit, but that just means you are assisting others swindling money from more gullible people.

Whales don't always buy coins the traditional way through exchanges they can use Over the Counter Trading or Dark pools. This way they can buy vast amounts of a coin (if available) without it being noticed by the public eye. If you are a potential Whale you don't want the general public to notice your very large buy order all at one time. This would send signals to others that its getting ready to be manipulated. The great whale of 2014 caused an event where a massive liquidation of bitcoin where sold at 300 dollars a piece. Which was a supply of 30,000 bitcoins totaling 9 million dollars. People assumed this was going to crash the entire crypto market at the time, but to many people's surprise the buyers ripped right through the sell orders and the coin rose to $375 dollars.

I found an interesting article here:

trader makes more than a holder in terms of money, but holder has a peace of mind at the end of the day...

there will be sharp spikes up and down, but an upward trend. Hold on for the ride!

How about diversifying your portfolio into all 3 - BTC, ALTS and ICO's ? This might help you reduce the risk.

price of ETH is irrelevant... What is relevant is the technology updates and scalability between now and 2020 ! That will take the price high

Eth won't see $300 again

But did you check the news someone in UK plans to open ETH FUTURE MARKET?

Well hold for peace of mind. Sooner or later your holdings will increase in value

Use  the hardware wallet to be safe

Rather than that I can would say that the world needs a universal global currency. And bitcoin is not important

Because they are buying for real long term and they believe bitcoin will become the world currency one day
