It is really a very good topic and all you need first is patience because that will only reap benefits.
As we already know that trading crypto always involves risk because crypto market is very volatile and it is something like roller coaster.If you want to do small trading start with bitbns or wazirx,presently both fiat deposit and withdrawals are working with peer to peer.

Next thing is do your own research on different tools/indicators  like macd,rsi,sma etc and then start doing small trades.You will find lot of youtube tutorials- have a look at those.
Use websites like bitscreener ,trading views and slowly you will gain insights to those.And never invest something which you can't afford to loose.
Good luck and happy trading.

True I also haven't bought any ripple yet,after the launch of x-rapid and so much marketing still the price of ripple is below average.Any positive movements should have hiked a price a bit,but that doesn't seem to happening right now.Everyday it has been in the news but unfortunately people are either guessing $589 or $5.89 EOY.That is just a simple speculation.There are lot more things going on at present.

some more news :-

Though the selling has been quite high but still we are waiting to see some catalyst to hike the price up.

Stock markets crashing,tether fuds ,bakkt getting delayed- then again releasing date finalized on 12th dec,Whales moving eth,btc from different wallets,background otc going on and with lots and lots of fud in the market only denotes we are heading towards correct path. .
So unless people panic more and the price gets a little more dipped its really hard to tell when the actual bull is going to start.All I can say this is only an accumulation phase so get your crypto and just wait for your time.The market has been bearish for quite a long time so soon its going to be over.Keeping fingers crossed.

Get only strong/good coins and hold hold and hold.

• Use cold storage like nano ledger s
• Dont keep coins on any exchange for long
• Don't follow or listen to fud's/fake news
• Always do your own research

And finally never panic at all.
Because one thing for sure if you are holding strong coins with higher rankings you will reap benefits and that's for sure and as it always have been.We are all experiencing the bearmarket and will take some more time.So hold your horses.Good luck all.

"In 1988, the UK magazine, The Economist forecast that 2018 would be the year of a new currency which they named the Phoenix. Quite a mind boggling prediction 30 years ago, especially since 2018 looks like a year when a major currency upheaval could take place…"

Now the question is that if more crypto comes in the market it will again going to be the same-rich getting richer and poor getting poorer,and that's quite natural.If whole world start transact in same currency/lesser crypto it will be less easier for all.But unfortunately that is never gonna happen.More crypto means more money laundering and tax evading .People who have already come early to the party will get some and time will tell the rest.Privacy coins like monero dash and few more will sky-rocket in few years after the present scenario gets a little stabilized.

Every ICO I guess is only good for bounty hunting.Until and unless we get to see the ico live and the trading goes on we cannot see the bigger picture.So investing is good coins and projects which have been operating since long and having good review and rank is very much safe.Lots of projects have come up and with each passing day more to come.Still crypto is in developing phase,amny counties have put regulations and even some had banned.So going for a future project which we haven't seen will be foolish.Going for low and secured profit is the best way to play the market.

Everyday I am looking for which crpto had hit the bottom or double bottom to get some crypto.But the problem is with so many coins at present it gets very confusing  .We are already in the bear market for a long time and this accumulation phase is going to be over soon so i guess we must stop complaining and get some crypto.And may be after we had accumulated then we can again start complaining. hehehe.Each day something going around in crypto world,Tether fud,stock market crash,exchange de-listing coins and 80% fuds and fake news are adding more panic to people.Market down means something more good is coming.Enjoy the bearish market,get some crypto.Happy trading all.

Yes of course we should always do own own individual research and then go for it.One thing that i had learned here is hold your strong coins(which have good projects and also rankings high)it will definitely give you good return in future irrelative of news or trading etc...simply hold strong coins and get your profits.I see many new people making mistake of getting ico and coins which have no prospect and lose their investment that is no good.Crypto market is very volatile since the beginning and even till now,may be after bakkt fidelity it will stabilize a bit,but till now we have a good chance o making profits.Wishing everyone good day and good profits.Enjoy all.

Each day i log in I hear news about ripple.Moreover the debate of coinbase listing xrp/custodians had been going on for long.Moreover 70% video and news are nothing but fuds misleading many people.Doing own's research is very much advisable.There is no doubt the project is good and of course will give some return but applying moon boy theory on ripple is going to do no good.Stock markets getting thrashed and effecting in-future commodities like crypto coins effects alot and this brings more panic and volatility,only patience is the virtue at present.Good luck all.

Still much time left with bakkt coming alongwith some bigger players and whales.Mainly the transactions going on now is OTC i.e. peer to peer so i guess its really hard for us to exactly assume what's going to come.Once in a while we see whales moving big amounts from wallets and the market is very quite simply moving left right and almost as if testing the trend and patience.Its only safer to hold strong coins because many projects will be dying out soon.Moreover many exchanges are delisting many coins.So only involve in strong and good projects.

Still it will take time for the crypto market to be stabilized.Once it gets stabilized the moon boy theory concept will be obsolete.Honestly speaking at present state crypto = Moon theory.And that is one of the reason why many newbie and people are investing.Unless the price gets a bit more stabilized the big institutions and big whales are never going to invest where market is so volatile.So it will take a few more years.Already we had seen the smart contracts is being associated with many crypto and that is really a good sign.Only time will tell.Good day All.

Yes its very true my friend.Its more safe to get your own charts ready with rsi,macd,convergence,divergence etc many other factors and then decide.Hurriedly making any decision will be very dangerous.Moreover so many scams/hacks and anonymous whales moving crypto adds to more panic making the crypto market more volatile.I generally never go for much profit and at present btc left right moving swift trading suits me best.I am not hoping to see the bull run for next few days.Normal trading theory won't be very much applicable here.So its always risky.And with risk comes profit.Good day all.Happy trading.

Strong projects are really very profitable.Seeing the bitcoin price its very natural that a person investing in btc will left a person broke and ill not be able to invest in other altcoins.Its more safer to buy 5-6 strong altcoins rather than putting all eggs in one basket.Doing these we can easily do swing trading rather than sitting idle for a long term investment.Crypto world is very volatile so it depends how each of us going to play it.With so many coins around and so many things going around every single day different catalyst drive prices of a particular project.Alt coins are good enough for me.

Ripple is of course a great project,but as expected after the x-rapid introduction it didn't reflected in its price.So I guess we need to carry on our own research.So much fuds and moon theory surrounding ripple sometimes makes me confused and still didn't get any strong reason or feeling about ripple.i guess time will only tell.I do not expect it to moon but at least 2x-3x will be enough seeing the present scenario.Many people have been holding xrp for more than a year and still doen't showing any positive vibes.We need to look out for the bulls.

I guess the company will be operating from there(Malta).Already this news is getting viral.I wish all people get their money back in form of crypto or other means.Please yourself updated and get your investment back.
Zebpay had been one of the worst exchanges and it is still continuing its trends,so do not listen to any fuds from zebpay,do your own research.Good luck all.Soon the bearish market is going to over.happy trading all.

Trading volumes low.Global reset is upon us,moreover btc moving only left and right still not finding proper support to bounce back.I guess we need to hold our nerves because it may take more days than we can expect.Whales are also on their backfoot waiting for some major announcements.The more panic means the more return and that is what it had been in the past.So Patience is the only weapon for us right now.Wishing everyone to get at least double what they invested.Cheers enjoy the bearish market and get more crypto.

• security
• Anonymity/financial freedom

Of course there are few more things for example a good return on your investment.Also sending money across globe by means of crypto minimizes the cost to more than ten folds.Its very obvious why would a person donate his/her hard earned money to banks.
And as we all know earlier days it was basically created and used in silk routes for various purposes.And lastly tax invaders will always be there till the end of the time.

I have been trading altcoins for some time and generally sometimes its really confusing to choose a nice project and invest in that.But one thing i will always say that good altcoins never made me regret.i had always made some bucks.Basically I stick to a golden rule of investing in any altcoin whose ranks are pretty good with nice circulation and supply.Crypto market is so much volatile and unstable which is the reason it is so interesting.Always something is going around which drives the prices high or low.

The market is still in bearish condition and it will go further down,even many people are expecting btc to come down to a level 3k-4k.If this trend continues there is still a long time for the bulls to return so we have to be very patient.Unless the prices dips more the institutional money or the big players won't come forward and the factor trading volume which really drives the price won't take place and thus we will continue being in the bearish market may be for some time more.Bulls come after panic so i guess patience is the only solution now.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that the prices go down a bit more so that I can get some of the coins at a good reasonable rate.Unless the price goes near or below  5800USD i don't think we are going to see and bull run this year.The price chart is only moving left and right and these will continue a few more days.Some news which may soon affect the crypto market :-

"Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) is reportedly considering a custody offering for holding cryptocurrency funds, according to Bloomberg."

"Nomura Holdings Inc. (NMR) launched Komainu, a new venture to help institutional investment in dealing and storing digital assets with a custody solution. Other banks—like Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (BK), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and Northern Trust Corp. (NTRS)—are also actively developing a host of crypto custody services, reports Bloomberg."

Really hoping to make some bucks.Good day to all.
