This is to confirm that my fifth and last payment from this campaign and the bonus is now sitting in my wallet. Appreciation goes to Qtum, BlackMambaPH, SFR10 and the entire Qtum team. Looking forward to March 1st  

In the same vein, there are many folks out there with very good ideas that could turn to gold if given some listening ears or half a chance, but  having no mean to fund their ideas, they are left frustrated. This is especially the case with the less developed countries, where banks are simply for the well established companies and only make pretense of encouraging SMEs. Beyond that is bad governance and economic policies that only serve to discourage investments.

These days they say the network is over crowded and so entailing huge volume of transactions to be on queue for far too long, that #2 - No expenses/low charges is fast becoming an illusion. I had paid two days ago a fee of 0.0008BTC, to have a transaction go through under normal speed, which means would have cost much more for a speed transaction and all these preferential confirmations are not for the good of Bitcoin and the community.

A fixed income per month is not altogether impossible, especially if it is something reasonable and sound knowledge and skills to back it up. What could make it all impossible is when perhaps out of greedy, a trader sets targets that are unattainable or one that demands so much from them, that the pressure just won't let them function at their very best and thus leading to frustration.

As for making a living off of trading, there are already traders doing that in forex trade and cryptocurrency trade isn't much difference, what calls the shot is the level of knowledge of a trader, their skills and then amount of capital at their disposal. More trading capital most often, translates to more profits with lesser trades unlike with little capital, that rather pushes traders to over trade and indulge in risky trades.

Something worth considering in holding Bitcoin for a long time is that this technology is still maturing and a whole lots of things might be thrown over board before getting there, so the safer side is to not start seeing it as buy and forget, till whenever scheme. Profits are also possible along the way and over time, those add up, except necessary skills and money management is lacking.

There are a million and one factors out there that influences the market most of them fundamental and political issues, so even after a very good analysis, a trade may still go the other way and that has absolutely nothing to do with being lucky or not. As a matter of fact, losing is indefensible in trading and knowledgeable and skillful traders don't attempt to contest with that, rather their wealth of knowledge is channeled to winning more trades than they lose and that's how sustainable profit is made.

In case it's one's lucky day and their luck earned them something good, how does one sustain the windfall and not hand it back to the market, if the skills ain't there?

Nope, every financial market can be predicted, the degree and frequency of accuracy is what one cannot readily say! Take a look:
 


Can you see those blue ovals hanging on to those Fibonacci levels, time and time again? Now price are quite predictable within and around those levels.


We know numbers don't lie, so let's go for a maths class! From the image, let  X=0.01172000 and y= 0.01041000, so the minimum space from "Space calccultor" would be 0.011.  What does that mean?  Let's go to http://www.babypips.com/tools/forex-calculators/ and input same values for X and Y
 


From the image in Fibo2, we can deduce that minimum space is actually pointing to the 50.0% retracement level, which is a clue that a rise from 0.01041000 to 0.01100000 is to be expected. However the Fibo calculator does a far better job of showing the road map. Hope that helps?

I see you said you accept only $1 in PM and then it says $1 in BTC, can you be specific? I particularly  would love it to be in BTC, since that's everyone's common factor here. Also I want to test your machine and service for say 24 hours before making a purchase.

What can your vps not be used for, you need to specify that in your OP.

The fact that trading also involves the possibility of losing doesn't make it one and same with gambling though that's often the view of those who have never gone into trading proper. In trading movements in price is determined by market forces and a trader that understands those forces can accurately predict the market most of the time, unlike with gambling, the player is at a lose what is coming and often times, it is the house that decides their fate. Moreover loses in trading can always be managed and limited at any point in time. A loss in gambling is almost always final and a player is left to watch helpless as their money grow wings right before their eyes.

However there are some traders that can be said to be gamblers. Those are the ones without any skill or strategy and incidentally, they usually get what was coming their way. What's funny is that those are the ones that turns around to say trading is one and same with gambling, which relies 99% on luck.

This is the digital age, so that was explicit enough what he meant - get a skill like learning to code, design graphics, develop the coin to replace Bitcoin, create an app, develop a robot that would track the hackers of Mt Gox, Bitfinex, Cryptsy, Ether, do you want more?

That is what we are invariably doing here with signature campaigns, starting a blog on cryptocurrency and earn from advert networks would mean going solo.

There is nothing new to it as it is taking the recent highest and lowest points to suggest possible range price could go up or down and that is simply a copy of what Fibonacci retracement does best. It is rather very limited, owner of site obviously didn't do his home work well enough and I suggest getting a Fibonacci calculator instead, because that would give a broader and clearer picture of appropriate levels to lay ambush for market price for those who understands the language.

You are obviously a newbie, but with time and exposure, you will realize money cannot be made without money. There is not one business that is without risk and finding a business with less probability of loss is really not the same as finding a riskfree business. Besides, such a business normal turn in very little profit and so have the drawback of taking very long time to turn in something significant, unless some very huge amount is pumped into it.

If original stays stagnant - no innovations or improvements, then another can come, copy the highlights of the original and inject some new features that addresses the weaknesses found in the original and popular requests, then that original, is ripe for an overthrow.

It is however interesting to see that a number of improvements are being considered for Bitcoin, so it is unlikely that it would be caught napping.

I want to contest that gambling should not make the list as some great ways to make Bitcoin or money and the reason is very obvious even without my uttering it. If one is looking for where to make some money, then the casinos are not one's best bet. They are strictly for entertainment and people go there to have fun and maybe get lucky. This mistake have cost some people their lives!

That is of course, the rule of the thumb - never put all your eggs in one basket. It is saver and often more profitable when investments are broken down and spread across many products, but that is not to say diversification makes all investments equal. Some investment opportunities offers better prospects in terms of security and ROI, etc and those are deserving of higher priority.

In all honesty, saving money with banks can hardly become a true investment because whatever peanut the Shylock banks ends up dishing out to depositors is immediately eaten up by inflation. The possibility to have savings turn to an investment can only arise with such instruments as Bitcoin. One of the main highlights of Bitcoin is actually the fact that it doubles as an investment vehicle as well as a store of value.

Even the governments agree Bitcoin is a wonder invention without decentralization. So decentralization is actually what makes Bitcoin thick and not necessarily the high price. As a matter of fact, it is the unique attributes of Bitcoin that brought about the wide acceptance and then Economics took the price from down the hill to the top and now looking at the mountain top.

I quite agree with your take that panic selling is mostly as a result of no strategy or a good enough one and also no risk management plans. Just like the saying goes,"Courage is not the absence of fear" Meaning that effective planning is what brings on the ability to handle risks, losses as stepping stones on the way to success. Perfecting in it doesn't come for the asking though, but it does come practice and dedication.

Trading the altcoins aside, one can actually concentrate on Bitcoin as the fluctuations we see in Bitcoin price every day, is rather an open invitation to make some money. It is however regretable that most traders instead of seizing the opportunities, run for cover instead every time, they see the market going south. I think it would be of help for those missing out, to take a while to do some studies and research, that's where the key lies.

That isn't crazy as you are actually working with some laid down plan and calculations. You're in fact, implementing, the averaging strategy, which is a sound technique for any asset with some volatility. Knowing the average daily range of the asset helps one in determining the next level to place another trade, in case the first or earlier trade didn't go well and after a few of such trades, price most likely reverses, as no market continues indefinitely in any one direction.

Anyone interested in try this technique must first ensure they have good enough balance to cushion the extended exposures and it is not suitable for all assets.
