Tonight or Tomorrow, BTC will move back to prepare yourself, you might reach the price of $ 9,500 and we trade only in the short term so that more profits can be obtained, but if the long term is better and I predict BTC will rise in the next week.

I'd rather buy whenever I feel it would give me profits rather than to wait and regret it in the end because I was left behind and missed the chance to make money after 2 years of waiting in the bull run. Bitcoin's price dropped more than half of its ATH way back 2017, asking if it is the right time to buy or not doesn't make any sense at all, it is not that bad to make $10,000 (or more) when bitcoin make another ATH before this year ends (hopefully).

It is really impossible to trade without losses. All of the expert and professional traders are also losing in trading.

Correct, I mean if you are not losing in Trading, you are not even Trading, you will not earn profits if you will not going to experience losses in your career.

We can minimize our losses if we have stop loss strategy. We should follow our trading plan always.
Minimize is the realistic word instead of saying Trading without "losses", losses and winning is a package on everything in this world, even on a very simple choir, i.e., you want to buy a laptop but you don't have enough money to buy the laptop that you want, so you take a loan and buy that laptop you want.

After 5 years, your laptop is still working completely fine and you already paid the loan you've made after a year you bought your laptop, and that saves you on buying cheap ones that don't have the quality to last for 5 years, the risk you take is the foundation of what we need to be successful, so don't be afraid of it.
323  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to control your emotions while trading?👨🏼‍💻 on: November 04, 2019, 03:29:47 PM
Usually to control emotions to be more rational is to trade when the mood is good. In practice controlling emotions is very difficult, it is different if we know it in theory. Experience is a good key to controlling emotions while trading.

Actually there are many problems in trading but emotions are the final determinant of how you will act in the market. Emotions sometimes also lead us to great losses, or can be to great benefits.
Exactly, i will going to add more. In able to control emotions don't act the way emotions tell us. First check the analysis(learning how to read charts is a must) for a trader. In that method you will have an idea that will let your emotions somehow to cooldown then after that make a plan A and B as much as you can. Don't sell at any price or act quickly unless it was continuous dump or pump. What goes up or down will take its time to get back there's still time for a person to think unlike using emotions that in any price without planning and thinking that it might be a trap for your emotions to be caught and that's how whales makes money to fool people esp. Emotional traders.

Very well said.

It is us who should control our emotions, not emotions controlling us what to do, that is dangerous for us to continue trading, if we do, our capital will most likely on the verge of losing, but it will take some time before a person reach that level, where he calmly handle every single situation he is at in Trading, he always execute his plan properly, making his profits secured all of the time.

New traders nowadays are too aggressive and want things to be rush, that is why it backfires on them.
324  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Honestly, do you guys think cryptocurrencies will be gone anytime soon? on: November 04, 2019, 02:44:11 PM
I haven't been trading my bitcoins and cryptos since this year begins, but I have noticed that the hype train is slowing down since then, compared to last year. I want some honest opinion about the future outlook of BTC or crypto per se. Should investors invest in it ?

If a coin depends on a company to survive, its worthless.


What can you do to stop Bitcoin?

Maybe we can't do anything to stop it (I don't want to, lol) but time itself could kill it, the limited supply of bitcoin we do (going to) have in the market is a sign that we should expect in the future, not anytime soon, that bitcoin will fade, it will hit its turning point where it will stop rising above the ground, hence it will go back to earth from the moon and it will be forgotten. The future is always full of surprises, the bad news is we don't have long life to witness everything.
325  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You don't want Bitcoin, You don't want Future :-\ on: November 04, 2019, 02:07:26 PM
I’m a huge bitcoin believer but I don’t exclusively believe that bitcoin alone would be the future of this world, though it may have sparked the change and the revolution already that’s for sure. Lots of potential game changers and important names in the industry have already been making moves, thanks to bitcoin inspiring them to do so. You pretty much outlined what bitcoin needs in order to survive but then again, bitcoin may only be the inspiration and not the way forward in the future but that doesn’t mean we don’t want a better future to come.

Same here, I am a Bitcoin Enthusiast but we have to respect what others people want. Indeed it is more secure and profits are big with cryptocurrency, especially with bitcoin, but we can't force them to like cryptocurrency in our phase, you're killing their passion instead of slowly introducing bitcoin in their system. Concluding such statements on your title is a little bit infuriating, it's like you want some fight to those who use fiat.

We don't need to badmouth each others side to win an argument that could be nicely get done and clarify things without hurting each others opinion.
326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in High School Syllabus on: November 04, 2019, 01:23:33 PM
At last, school became school.

I hope this would be implemented all over the world, because it is too boring to study stuffs that we are not even going to need when we graduated and starts to work, the biggest example for that is Calculus. School are focusing too much on one thing, and teaching things how to earn money with cryptocurrency is a huge start for students to study while they are earning, parents would be happy about this.
327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are we really investing in bitcoin? on: November 04, 2019, 12:37:04 PM
Is the service and profitability, even if bitcoin is highly volatile, are the only two reasons why bitcoin is attractive to investors? Any good opinions or answers? Thanks
This is my personal answer, why Bitcoin is attractive to me?  it is money, opportunity, and energy..  my chances of getting a large return on investment (gold, forex, stocks, commodities) are very small because I do not have the experience, knowledge and large capital to focus there..  I just focus my knowledge on cryptocurrencies so that my energy and time are not wasted.

I agree.

On traditional assets like golds, stocks, shares, and so on needs a tremendous amount of money to make your profits big as possible in the long run, unlike in cryptocurrency that even small amount could be a good start to know if it fits to you. For example is this forum, creating an account is free, and earning here doesn't requires anything at all, except for ranks and merit, depends on the campaign.
328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's worse: cigar addiction or gambling addiction on: November 03, 2019, 06:06:28 PM
I consider cigar addiction, as much worse than gambling it destroys the mind and the body
On gambling you will lose all your money but you can always recover that, if you lose your health you lose everything

This is exactly what I want to say, as a problem of so many proportions can be compared to losing money, smoking cigars entails a lot more harm than gambling. We must not place these two dependencies in the same point.

Let me explain your opinion more further.

Addiction on both is deadly, I agree that cigarette can cause lung cancer but did you know that it is not the cigarette that cause cancer, it is your cells in your body, if is weak enough that can't fight bacteria or harmful chemicals, then cancer cells will build up in your body. However we must also keep in mind that gambling could also weaken our body that can cause to death, or even make enemies by gambling, either you are indebt with somebody and you can't pay him therefore he killed you, or you are too good in gambling and someone killed you because of envy.
329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to restrain yourself at a small loss and not spend money. on: November 03, 2019, 05:13:01 PM
One can set up auto debit from bank for bills so they will not be even able to touch those funds for gambling before they are debited for good reasons. Also saving money in fixed deposit works as it won't let you withdraw money you save

This may work, for some time

But it doesn't solve the main issue, i.e. someone being reckless with their money. Yes, we can take money from children, and they won't be able to spend it on something stupid. But we expect them to grow up in due course and be responsible for their actions on their own. In this way, setting up obstacles that would prevent you from reckless spending is more like fighting with symptoms rather than the disease itself (read, you will lose this fight in the end)

I very much agree with this.

Putting up obstacles might not help you instantly to fully restrain yourself in gambling but the more time you spend in something else, i.e. doing another hobby, you will realize that you don't need that obstacle anymore, instead you're going to free yourself on using that because you've found the thing that would benefit you in the long run, which you thought that was gambling, but sadly not.

There is this saying goes "Don't make a promise when you are happy and don't decide when you're mad or sad", meaning you don't have to shut yourself on a single thing, sometimes you opened the wrong door and forget to open the right one.
330  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: My eth is hacked ........ on: November 03, 2019, 04:41:40 PM

Well, it doesn't work always because there are numerous ways hackers can get rid of the funds either by selling them in escrow group, or meet buyer in person. It's now the fate of the person that bought from them.

Staying in the shade, this is the safer way for those hackers to hide their identities while they are stealing other's people funds.

It's even easier if they use Mixer service or swap them in Wallets like Exodus to another coin completely.

Walking under the sunlight in the middle of the day, if the hacker do this (I don't think so), they are not this dumb, I mean even if they swap them in wallets, it is still possible to track that address through blockchain.

331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not trust New wallets with your fund on: November 03, 2019, 03:57:07 PM

The point it is not so safe with old wallets as well. I find it better to keep in a paper wallet and trust coinb.in for the sending transactions.

I agree.

The term "safe" will always rely on ourselves, no matter what trusted wallet we use, if we are being careless on how we use it or how we keep our bitcoins, then "safe" become "unsafe" where there is no point anymore of choosing what wallet we will use, rather we should think if we could trust ourselves or is it still worthy for us to hold such fragile and expensive things.
332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO and scammers on: November 03, 2019, 03:19:42 PM
Sometimes I see rules for staring "good" ICO and one of all paragraph - deanon of creators. But exist countries, in which crypticurrency has been banned and creators have a chance go to jail to 5+ years (examle, Ukraine (if project have a anonymous coin transfer/stablecoins)). If I dont write about myself, I am a scammer (thinked users of bitcointalk). If I write - Im will a convict. What to do?
With scammer ICO owner make many investor never want to invest with ICO again, they claim all ICO are scam with lower price after active trading n exchange and delay for listing coin on market, but just several ICO coin do not have good price and there are many ICO worth with profitable for investor after price up, check with ICO investment before become be part of ICO investment.
I don't accept scammer ICO owner make many investors because investors have some team around the circle. So they read the complete project and analyse the one or two times. I think spam projects are marketing to fake publish and finally they stop the projects. So right know everyone good to survive on crypto platform.

I'm afraid you don't have any choices or should I rather say, you won't see it coming.

Joining an ICO or IEO seems like love at first sight, you only see the good side of it, you never try to find out their bad side (if they have) because you've been hypnotize by their sugarcoated promises, you licked their feet in exchange of the bounty they have allocated and promised to investor and bounty hunters, after that gruesome response you did to have your bounty, all you had in the end is the bad scent of their feet that smells betrayal.
333  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: your patience is being tested on: November 03, 2019, 02:19:55 PM
If indeed I really need money, then I will go into the market and sell it immediately no matter whether the price of the coin is rising or falling. But if my financial condition is good, then I will hold back until the price is a little more expensive. This is indeed not easy because they have to fight the fear of whether prices will fall further.

Likewise.

I've never hesitate to withdraw some of my bitcoin and altcoin whenever I need fiat, it's better than to go out to your room and rob someone for you to have something to feed yourself or your family (that's gross). We are working 'till 4 AM (sometimes) to have the financial support we need in our daily lives, we don't need to starve ourselves out just because you are thinking about your profits you could make in the long run, believe me, you should worry more about your health.

You can't take your money with you in your grave.
334  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how to earn free altcoin ?? on: November 03, 2019, 01:36:03 PM
Airdrops or simply joining bounty campaigns.

But the take is that most airdrops are now scammy, specially those projects that requires you to give them the project key. As for bounty campaigns, I'm sure you are familiar with it. But you have to performed several task first, and most of the time it takes months and months before you can claim your reward. And if you get lucky and received the tokens, then sell them off and put your money in BTC. Best of luck.

Altcoin's ain't free in bounty campaigns, you need to invest your time, effort, and hard work here, but yes, I agree it's free in Airdrop, the only disadvantage in Airdrop is you could get few while you get more by joining bounty campaign, hence there is also a disadvantage in bounty campaign, some of them shows their true colors in the end, so you won't get anything.

For sure free altcoins, you could find some faucets, though earnings their is not that big, but it is free.

336  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you do when a project fails you as abounty hunter or investor on: November 03, 2019, 12:30:43 PM
There is nothing one can do beyond moving on and stop making the same mistake over and over again. We were all in 2018 of cryptocurrency dooms in both bearish market and scams, and here we still are at the moment.

This is actually a choice, if we are dumb enough to believe on the same person (project) again, that scams us, the problem is not them, it is us, therefore we have no rights to put the blame on them, nonetheless, we also have the chances to not make the same mistakes over and over again.

In fact we never make mistakes intentionally, because the average cheated are people who overly believe in the sweet promises of the project team, so it becomes a very fatal mistake, so the solution is to keep moving and analyzing something before believing it is a very good thing.

That can't be avoided, and if sweet promises are not the ones we should trust, I don't know what to trust anymore, I'm not a masochist who will believe in projects that are obviously scams and still supports it. We are going to be scam sometimes, if not, we are not even trying.

337  Economy / Economics / Re: Fiat Money is a Bubble on: November 02, 2019, 06:18:41 PM

All money is created out of thin air these days. It has no tangible resource backing up its value.

Government says "Hi"

That makes monetary value purely fictional, yet everybody uses it. So yes, fiat is de facto a bubble.
It's hilarious to think about how the world actually works, it's complete nonsense and everybody believes that it isn't.

It is the only trick they have in their hands to control the whole country. They are making people's head go round with it, even if it is nonsense, it makes us live and survive in this society which is survival of the fittest, and I admit it, it is completely nonsense, we're on a nested loop.
338  Economy / Economics / Re: You Can Now Keep Your Bitcoins In A Bank on: November 02, 2019, 05:34:08 PM
I also not preffer to hold bitcoin on bank, i don't have any reason to do, i hold my coins on hardware wallet for over 1 year and i don't have any problem, is better to hold bitcoin on wallet where you have private keys.

Obviously. Despite bitcoin being one of the most secure program of this world, if you do not know how to take care of it, that is useless. A lot of hot wallets are hacked nowadays that is the reason most of the people nowadays use cold wallets to store their bitcoins and other crypto currencies. Keeping your bitcoins in the bank just destroy the reason of crypto currencies, it is decentralized and we don't need other people to keep it for us since we can do that part ourselves.

That is exactly what he said. I considered hard wallets as hot wallets, and there is no way that someone could hack your bitcoins when you are using that unless you're going to be careless on keeping your private key. I am also using hardware wallet and I've never encounter losing my bitcoins because of hackers. Maybe it could be possible to lose your bitcoins if those "hot wallets" that you were saying happens to be web wallets.
339  Economy / Economics / Re: Gold exist 1000+ years. while bitcoins exist 10 years. on: November 02, 2019, 04:24:57 PM
It always comes down with the demand. The life of Bitcoin or even in general whether a product, person or a government, lies in belief, trust. As long as Bitcoin can keep up with the needs of the intended people then it would continue to foster and serve its purpose.

For it to happen, maybe we should stop treating Bitcoin as an investment alone but rather live up with its purpose i.e. spending it like what we do with the fiat. In that way, we are integrating it with our daily lives and evolve as a vital instrument in commerce.

You were saying that if the demand on bitcoin get high, it will prolong its life? is that what you were trying to say, if that is your opinion, I'm afraid I have to disagree with that, correct me instead if that is not your point.

We only have 21,000,000 bitcoin that will circulates in the market, and we already mined 85% of it, with that being said, we only have limited amount of bitcoins, even the demands of it get insanely high in the next following year and so on, we will meet the time where bitcoin have to say goodbye to use, that is the sad reality about it, we could not replenish it like natural treasures with the use of science.
340  Economy / Economics / Re: Differences between an investor and common man! on: November 02, 2019, 02:44:13 PM
An investor, thinks well of how he can do passive income, he's not only depending on his fix income, but he's not wasting his time having a passive income, while a common man, most of the time, only thinks of how he will get a job, and don't care much on having a passive income.

Let's make things simple.

Investor = Entrepreneur
Common man = Employee

Investors invest their money (obviously) on something, for example is business, because their mindset says that they could much money with creating their own business to have passive income, which is entirely true.

Common man, yes, this is the typical person living with his mindset "this is enough" as long as he is earning money supporting his daily needs and don't have any particular goal in which he could make his life more better than his common life.

Yeah, that is really their difference, most common man are already contented with what they are doing, what they have currently, they don't want to take risk, they don't want to have responsibility, they are afraid of losing even a small amount of money but when it comes to gadgets, they prefer the most expensive one.

They are not really that afraid to lose their money, the thing is they don't know where to spend it, their mindset is the simplest form of all the mindset, the term is "scrambled" they don't know the difference of "needs" and "wants" therefore yes, they value more about their wants over their needs resulting to financial crisis in which also triggers inflation, sorry for being off topic but that is the harsh reality.

Common man moves based on the majority, on the hype of the society, and that what makes them useless by not contributing any helpful things in the society.
