you need to start small and learn how to manage different situations over time in this market. trading is like any other job in the world you start at the bottom and work your way up, if you try to start at the top with lots of money you will end up losing money.

and fear only happens when people are newbies and don't know what they are doing. if you have experience you know very well how to handle different scenarios and if you are a newbie and have invested small amount then again there is no room for fear and you think more clearly.

there has never been any good news about ethereum apart from all the hype and fake pumps and i think the reason why the whales of ethereum has been silent (as you can see by the activity of their shills on the forum) is that they know it is pointless at this point because nobody is interested in buying it.
they may be holding it off for when bitcoin stopped being too hot as it is right now.

i want to see a lot of different things in altcoins but almost all of them are not possible.
- i want faster transactions with immediate confirmation; but that comes at the cost of increased number of orphaned blocks, less security, and a massive blockchain
- i want cheaper transactions preferably free but that means miners have to get paid more reward and that means more dump and price going down.
- i want to be able to mine myself so that mining don't turn into a centralized act that only mining farms can do, but i don't even know that is even possible with the way difficulty works.
- and more things that are smaller but the above was the most important.

i don't think Indian market  is that big to be able to have this king of impact on the bitcoin price though. besides their market is kind of secluded and separated from the rest of the world or at least that is my understanding .

since (like others have already mentioned) i am not so familiar with livecoin i have to say bittrex. and i have to say i have not chosen bittrex randomly. it is a good place, i like the rules (unlike poloniex) the engine is pretty good, the charts are awesome and they have a good API service.


first of all volume can be fake it is a number that exchanges report and also there are lots of way to fake it too.

but i suppose this higher volume is because of the BTC/USD and BTC/EUR pairs, remove those and you have no volume left (this two will remove $900,000 72% of the volume)

it depends on what you are planning to do.
all the information you are giving us is that you want to "transfer funds oversees" for that the solution is using bitcoin, it is cheapest because of fees and the most secure because of how cryptocurrencies work and also you wouldn't encounter any trouble with the law because of sending money out of the country.

but if you are planning on sending USD and the amount is high there are different solutions which are not easy nor cheap. for smaller amounts again it depends on what you plan on doing.

when it comes to choosing between yobit or other exchanges the choice is so easy that sometimes i am surprised why some people choose yobit! you are choosing between a horrible service which has no benefit if you choose it over other good exchanges like poloniex and bittrex.
they are not even offering a competitive trading fees so we can at least have something to hope for.

with the new change in price moving up to 760-770 USD i think $800 price by the end of this month is easily possible now.

what do you think is needed for this rise to happen or ensure it?

it is effective and it has already been proven that it is going to be effective when that impostor called Craig Wright tried to fool people into believing he is satoshi and he is going to move funds from his wallets, there were some small changes in price.
but even if satoshi were revealed the effects are going to be temporary.

this is funny because a village woman is not usually thinking about investing her money so she certainly is not thinking about investing in bitcoin and if it is in one of those developing countries where they have no access to technology,... they certainly are not thinking about investment of any kind.

besides bitcoin is the easiest thing to secure. anything else that you buy (stocks, gold, ....) are either not-store-able or you have to leave them with a third party. but you can easily buy a hardware wallet and keep millions of dollar in a tiny thing.

it is never easy to say an altcoin is scam and flag it just like that. you can only be like 80% sure because if an altcoin was clearly scam (100% sure) that altcoin wouldn't last a second and its price would have gone down to zero and possibly exchanges would have de-listed it immediately.
and the flags coinmarketcap has like the massive premine i think is enough and the rest is up to the user to investigate and find out.
and i know it is not easy to do among all these massive number of coins but if you love your money you would do it.

correlation exists between bitcoin price and most of the altcoins not all of them. and this correlation is the most obvious in altcoins which are being traded with both BTC and USD at the same time.


ETH will get there even without bitcoin shooting up to $1000 and it has already started to go down and when ETH goes down lots of panic sells start which will push further down.

lots of other things are also desirable but not all of them are possible.
with bitcoin most people are better off just buying and holding bitcoin itself and don't think about profiting on that bitcoin because they are not experienced enough in the field of investment and most of them are too lazy to investigate and learn more about it.

bitcoin price has been rising with a big strength and nothing can easily change it. at this point dropping down to $500 means a big drop of $270 and that is impossible when there is always a lot of buy support behind bitcoin waiting to buy cheaper coins even if it is $10 cheaper.

many others are also investing in bitcoin but that is not because of global and economy crash in the present or possibly future. it is mostly because everyone is starting to realize the power that bitcoin has.

and you subject that is saying banks moving towards bitcoin is another story which will happen but not until bitcoin is adopted by masses.

YOLO is different than playing while mad. when you are mad for example because of a big loss or having a bad day and making emotional bets that is an obvious bad decision.

but YOLO is a fun way of taking bigger risks and as long as you can afford what you may lose in this strategy you are fine. and this is actually a lot of fun thing to do.

it is the free fall that had to happen sooner or later. and right now ethereum has actually recovered a bit from the bottom price but in my opinion that doesn't matter anymore since the damage is done to this coin and i don't see any good thing coming out of it.

everything about altcoins is about profit. and MLM scheme gives the participants no profit because it is a scam way of making the head richer not the people who join in after that.

and ask yourself this: do you want to take huge risks for a maybe profit your would you rather invest in an altcoin that has a better chance of giving you profit and is normal!

you have to learn how to work with your money yourself instead of trusting others for it. an trading bitcoin is not that hard to learn either.

but if you can find a friend, or someone that you know in real life like a family member that you fully trust (which never happens) and that person is trading then you have better chance asking him to accept your investment than looking for someone here.

not only that but also bitcoin can not handle that many users. right now with the current number of bitcoin users (which is far smaller than 10% he is suggesting) blocks are full and people are stuck waiting for confirmation. and anything bigger than this is not possible and i don't see how in 4 years we can handle 10% population of the world.
