[Tutorial:Filipino Version] Paano magdagdag ng imahe, baguhin ang laki ng imahe at gumawa ng imahe na pwede mo i-click

PAANO MAG-INSERT NG IMAGE?

Ang pagdagdag ng imahe sa iyong post ay hindi na mahirap, kailangan mo lamang sundin ang mga hakbang na ito (pakitandaan na kailangan mong maging nasa mas mataas na posisyon kaysa sa Newbie. Click para makita ang Rank Requirements):


  • Step 1: I-upload ang iyong larawan sa site tulad ng https://imgur.com/. Pagkatapos ay mayroong dalawang paraan:
    • Para sa mga imahe na hindi ".png", maaari mong i-right click lang ang larawan sa Kopyahin ang Address ng Larawan/Copy Image Address. Makakakuha ka ng ilang link na katulad nito: https://i.imgur.com/lUr20xA.jpg
    • Ang isa pang paraan ay gumagana para sa lahat ng format ng imahe, maaari mong i-click ang listahan ng dropdown sa kanan ng "Copy" button, tapos piliin "Get share links", and i-copy ang "BBCode(Forums)".
  • Step 2: Gamitin ang sumusunod na code sa iyong post:
Code:
[img]https://i.imgur.com/lUr20xA.jpg[/img] 

Ito ang makikita mo pagkatapos mong ipasok ang code sa itaas sa iyong post:



PAANO I-RESIZE ANG IYONG IMAGE?

Maaari kang magdagdag ng lapad at taas sa code upang baguhin ang laki ng imahe, ang magiging hitsura ng code na ito:
Code:
[img width=200 height=150 alt=image loading...]https://i.imgur.com/lUr20xA.jpg[/img] 

Ang makikita mo pagkatapos ng pagbabago ng laki:
image loading...

Maaari mo ring idagdag ang alt property sa img tag upang kahit na ang iyong imahe ay naglo-load pa rin, ito ay magpapakita ng ilang mga teksto upang ang gumagamit ay alam na mayroong ilang mga imahe lilitaw sa ibang pagkakataon.

PAANO GAWIN ANG CLICKABLE IMAGE?

Kung gusto mo ang iyong imahe clickable (sa sandaling i-click ang pag-redirect sa isa pang website), maaari mong gamitin ang sumusunod na code sa iyong post:
Code:
[url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3250658][img]https://i.imgur.com/S4Hsd2s.png[/img][/url]

Sa ganitong paraan kapag na-click mo ang larawan, dadalhin ka nito sa isa pang website (halimbawa:Cryptocurrency Lingo/Slang). Maaari mong subukan sa ibaba:



Note:
- Newbie HINDI pwede post image. Link lang ang lalabas pag newbie ang nagpost.
- imgur link DAPAT merong jpg/jpeg/png extension. Ang link sa isang album sa imgur ay magreresulta sa error sa proxy.

I dont believe in the statement made by Erik Voorhees. Why would I do that even if I have bought the bitcoin in December month? Just because we have bought it highest prices doesn't mean that bitcoin is not going to recover to that prices again ever. There is whole life ahead man and BTC will cross such huge prices again and again many times!! Selling at such low level would get us pennies and cents and nothing else MR Erik! How we can expect to re-inevst it and make quicker profits. LOlz. Is there any other option in line.  Tongue

About the OP's visualisation, yeah things are not new in the crypto currency. These kind of drops are always there and thats what I am telling to Mr. Erik's tweet here. This is not new, BTC will catch the fish again and will rise to ATH. Better hold.

Yes, I agree with you, everything is going to be great soon. What we are experiencing is just part of the process, nothing new.

Sa lahat ng nasa listahan mo, tanging coins.ph at abra lang ang aking nasubukan. Sa mahabang panahon, coins.ph lang talaga ang ginagamit ko pagdating sa lokal na wallet. Maganda at convenient gamitin. Sa pagdagdag nila ng Ethereum, mas mainam na rin. Subalit parang naging mas mahigpit na rin sa ngayon. May bagong porma na binigay nila sa email tungkol sa KYC. Andaming tanong at mga hinihingi sayo na sa tingin ko naman ay hindi na kailangan lahat. Ang kagandahan naman sa abra kasi hindi lang limitado sa BTC at ETH ang maaari mong ideposit.

Iba na ang coins.ph control na ng BSP kasi ruling ng BSP ang KYC na yan... Wag natin kalimutan na ang purpose ng bitcoin ay ang privacy ng tao at "as the system works without a central bank or single administrator", nagiging panget na ang systema ng mga lokal bitcoin wallet natin ngayun, which is hindi na na-aayun sa ating pinapaniwalaan natin.

Saken kasi coins.ph ang wallet ko sa pinas pero meron din ako ng dalawang desktop wallet and isang online wallet.
Guide lang to sa mga pwede mong pagpipilian na wallet na pwede sa pinas.

The New Martial Arts League Karate Combat Features a Bitcoin Symbol in the Center Ring


Just recently the web portal Karate.com owned and operated by a company called Karate Combat launched a professional combat league. The new league is meant to promote fighters from all around the world and showcase their fighting skills. One unique thing about the event, ‘Karate Combat: Inception’ is the fact there is a giant bitcoin symbol in the middle of the ring.

Martial arts (MA) and karate have become very popular sports these days, and mainstream audiences have been patronizing this activity for quite some time. One bitcoin-centric group called Bitproj.org, a nonprofit that dedicates raised funds towards increasing bitcoin awareness, decided to spread the message to MA fans. Bitproj has sponsored the league Karate Combat, and for doing so the arena features a bitcoin symbol in the middle of the fighting ring.

Karate Combat’s launch has recently been featured in Sports Illustrated online publication which also shows a good crisp image of the bitcoin symbol inside the ring. Karate Combat CEO Michael DePietro explains that Karate is very popular in the U.S. and starting the first league is a milestone.

“Approximately 50 million Americans have participated in Karate at some point in their lives with an even greater worldwide following, yet no professional league exists,” DePietro explains.

"To date nobody has harnessed the beauty of this ancient sport for 21st-century fans and mass media appeal."


Bitcoin Featured in the Pre-Season Genesis Events
It seems Bitproj believes in the mass media appeal of the new Karate venture as well by providing sponsorship towards the fighting league. An innovative technological symbol may entice audiences to ask about bitcoin or talk about the subject during matches. Karate Combat’s league boasts 100 fighters from 30 different nation states, and the team will also appear in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Bitcoin proponents will be pleased to see the bright white symbol in the middle of the ring in these two videos of the pre-season event titled ‘Karate Combat: Genesis.’ Moreover, the bitcoin symbol can be seen over at the web portal Karate.com as well.

What about "shitcoin", "when lambo?" ?

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Added Lingo:
31. Shitcoin
Is a pejorative term used to describe an altcoin that has become worthless. Shitcoin value may disappear because interest failed to materialize, because the altcoin itself was not created in good faith, or because the price was based on speculation.

32. When Lambo?
It's the act of asking when we are going to get rich?

33. Lambo
Aspirational symbol of success.

Bitcoin’s Recent Crash Is Familiar Territory for Veterans


The first quarter of 2018 is on record as the worst in bitcoin’s price history. Just shy of 115 billion USD in market capitalization has been erased. Nearly half of its price from the start of this year is gone. For those relatively new to the ecosystem, it might seem like the time to panic or at least cash out what’s left of their initial investments. As a recent visualization study by financial information aggregators howmuch.net shows, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency just might make a comeback. 

Bitcoin’s Recent Crash Is Familiar Territory for Veterans
Howmuch.net recently published a visualization of bitcoin’s most awful price crashes. Titled, Visualizing the History of Bitcoin Crashes: Are Hodlers Prepared for the Next Bull Run?, it seeks to put into perspective the cyclical nature of the decentralized currency’s volatility.

“The latest Bitcoin crash has some investors believing the ‘end of days’ are near,” the post’s author, Paul, began. “Once bullish ‘hodlers’ and committed individuals now voice their concerns and fears that this crash indicates that the cryptocurrency market may be faced with a new normal. While the latest crash has been painful, it is best to step back and assess the current state of Bitcoin relative to its past. Bitcoin has ‘crashed’ many times over the past several years, but how does this latest downturn compare to past steep sell offs?”

Using publicly available sources, the post illustrates a dozen other times where bitcoin took a nosedive. Sell-offs are bracketed by a box, using a snippet of time. “Using the Bitstamp Bitcoin-to-U.S.-Dollar (BTC/USD) pair, our team found the specific highs and lows of the past crashes dating back to January 2012. Utilizing a blue arrow, we highlight the percentage of value lost during each sell off. Lastly, we measured the length of each specific crash period by stating the number of days the correction ultimately lasted,” they explained.

What is immediately clear is bitcoin’s resilience. Though a reader could easily see the chart as a giant red flag showing too many heavy corrections, and feel the trouble not worth it, enthusiasts are able to take heart because “this is not an unusual event for Bitcoin. Since January 2012, there have been thirteen major corrections or crashes in Bitcoin, including this latest rout. Losses have been as minimal as 30% and as severe as 87% during these Bitcoin panics. Compared to its past events, this latest correction was not even as severe or painful as it has been in the past.”


Nothing New
So far, the current correction seems in line with the asset’s history. As the visual displays, corrections usually last just a few days, with a sizeable chunk under four days. But, there have been longer stretches, for sure. From late 2013 through early 2015, and that of course includes all of 2014, the lag in price lasted 411 days. The next longest is our current malaise, and that’s nowhere near the dire straits of triple-digit days. “The point is that crashes have become relatively common throughout the cryptocurrency market, which is known for its swift volatility. It is important to turn to data and the facts in times of turmoil, rather than relying on one’s emotions,” the team insists.

It might be true those newer investors of late last year are gone, and gone forever. But they probably had no business being involved with cryptocurrency in the first place. And while the present streak could very well go on for some time still, those passionate about projects such as bitcoin are mostly in for the long haul, anticipating a bull run or perhaps just hoping for fewer price slides.

Australia Introduces AML/CTF Requirements for Cryptocurrency Exchanges


Australia’s new legislative guidelines for the operation of cryptocurrency exchanges were introduced on the 3rd of April 2018. From now on, Australian digital currency exchange businesses will be required to register and comply with anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) laws.

Australia’s new regulative apparatus pertaining to cryptocurrencies has formally been adopted as law, mandating that digital currency exchange businesses comply with the country’s AML/CTF requirements.

Cryptocurrency exchanges must now register and report to the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC). AUSTRAC has issued a document outlining the primary obligations of digital currency exchanges under the new guidelines.

In addition to “adopting and maintaining an AML/CTF program to identify, mitigate and manage money laundering and terrorism financing risks,” Australian virtual currency exchanges must “identify” and “verify” the “identities of their customers,” keep “certain records for seven years,” and report “suspicious matters” and “transactions involving physical currency of $10,000 or more” to AUSTRAC.

Transitional Registration Arrangements in Place for Existing Exchanges

AUSTRAC states that “A ‘policy principles’ period of six months will be in place from 3 April 2018” – during which “the AUSTRAC CEO can only take enforcement action if a DCE business fails to take ‘reasonable steps’ to comply.”

The six month period will also see “Transitional registration arrangements” made available to “existing businesses to allow them to continue providing services while their registration application being considered.” Existing digital currency exchange businesses will need to register for the transitional registration arrangements by May 14th. AUSTRAC warns that the unregistered provision of digital currency exchange services will suffer “criminal offense and civil penalty consequences.”

Last week, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) announced that it is seeking public consultation from citizens regarding how the ATO should “approach specific tax events.” The ATO, which has been drafting legislation for the taxation of cryptocurrencies, stated that it has “launched a community consultation to help us understand practical issues experienced when complying with cryptocurrency tax obligations.”

Cryptocurrency Lingo/Slang


List of the Cryptocurrency Lingo/Slang which can help out others as well:

1. HODL
Hold On for Dear Life. A crypto trader who buys a coin and does not see himself selling in the foreseeable future is called a hodler of the coin.

2. FOMO
Short form for ‘Fear Of Missing Out’. The feeling when you see a huge green dildo on a chart and you don’t own that coin, so you sell other shit to buy into it freaking out. As crypto trading is still very much driven by emotions rather than valuation, FOMO is a huge factor to consider when swing trading in crypto.

3. FUD
Short form for ‘Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt’. Usually used in the form of “xxx spreading FUD again.”
Example: JPMorgan’s Dimon spread FUD by saying Bitcoin is a fraud that will eventually blow up.


4. ATH
Short form for “All-Time High”. Therefore it means the highest historical price of a specific coin.

5. Whale
A huge player who has a substantial amount of capital. Whales are often the market movers for small alt-coins too due to their huge capital.

6. Pump and Dump
The recurring cycle of an Altcoin getting a spike in price followed by a huge crash. Such movements are often attributed to low volume, hence the ‘pump’. Traders who pump, buying huge volumes, may wish to invoke FOMO from the uninformed investors and then dump, or sell, their coins at a higher price.

7. Shill
The act of unsolicited endorsing of the coin in public. Traders who bought a coin has an interest in shilling the coin, in hopes of igniting the public’s interest in that particular coin.

8. Bag Holder
A term to refer to a trader who bought in at a high and missed his opportunity to sell, leaving him with worthless coins.

9. Margin Trading
A term for ‘trading with leverage’. In this instance of trading, you borrow one side of the trading pair at an agreed loan rate and sell it for the other side of the trading pair. Depending on the direction you believe the market to move, you may place a long or a short bet on the trading pair of concern.

10. Long
A position that a trader takes. To take a long position on something is to believe its value will rise in the future.

11. Short
A position that a trader takes. To take a short position on a coin is to believe its value will fall in the future.

12. Limit Order
An order placed at a future price that will execute when the price target is hit.

13. Borrowing Rate
When you open a leveraged position, you will be borrowing coins at a pre-determined rate. This rate will be added to reflect your position’s overall profit and loss.

14. Lending Rate
Some exchanges have lending accounts. You may deposit your coins into these lending accounts to lend your coins for others to execute their leveraged trades. The lending rate fluctuates throughout the day based on the demand for shorting the coin.

15. Fill or Kill
A limit order that will not execute unless an opposite order exceeds this limit order’s amount.

16. BUY | SELL Wall
A wall as seen in the depth chart of exchanges is an amalgamation of limit orders of the same price target.


17. Altcoin
“Alternate coin” so it is everything other than Bitcoin (BTC). Bitcoin is the main index for cryptocurrency market. If BTC goes up, other coins go up. If BTC goes down, other coins go down.

18. Circulating Supply
The price of a coin has no meaning on its own. However, the price of a coin, when multiplied by the circulating supply, gives the coin’s market cap.

19. Market Cap.
A stock’s market cap refers to the market value of the company’s outstanding shares.
In the cryptocurrency market, the market cap is used to illustrate a coin’s dominance in the entire cryptocurrency market.


20. DDOS
Short form for ‘Distributed Denial of Service’.
A well-timed DDoS attack at exchanges during volatile movements may be devastating as traders will not be able to execute any order manually and will be at the mercy of their pre-set, or the lack of, limit orders.

21. ICO
Short form for “Initial Coin Offering”, which takes a page from the usual IPOs investors know.
Coins bought during ICOs are usually sold for a profit when the coin first hits exchanges. This is due to the initial hype which increases demand for the coin.
On the supply side, ICOs create entry barriers as the buyer has to set up his private wallet to receive the coins from the ICO purchase.

22. Arbitrage
The act of buying and selling on different exchanges to earn the difference in the spread. Arbitrage opportunities occur due to differences in exchange reputation, community coin preferences and ease of bank funding.
Take note that fees, limits and prices could change anytime when you are transferring your coins between exchanges, especially during volatile times.

23. BTFD
Buy The Fucking Dip” – When people are running around and selling because of fear, this is the time to buy.

24. Moon
Extreme bullish movement of a coin.


25. Weak Hands
Those who cannot be patient and sell at loss when the market is down.

26. Token Airdrop
Simply put, an Airdrop means a coin/token is distributed to the community for free or for small tasks. This is done to ensure early distribution and to have as many people with “skin in the game” as possible.
An Airdrop aims to build a huge community easily as people will pay attention to the coin they hold. Furthermore, they tend to promote this coin for profits, and this may cost the Development Team little to achieve the goal of advertisement.

27. Vote for Token Listing
Vote for the coins you'd most like to be listed for trading.

28. ETA
Short for Estimated Time of Arrival,is an estimate time for something to be done.


29. Bounty
Refers to a reward for users who promote the usage of cryptocurrencies(usually ICO campaign) through various social and business networks.

30. Buying the Dips
To buy into the market when the market makes a downward move by a 'large' percentage (in crypto this can be anything from a 10% to %50+ move).
Read more here

31. Shitcoin
Is a pejorative term used to describe an altcoin that has become worthless. Shitcoin value may disappear because interest failed to materialize, because the altcoin itself was not created in good faith, or because the price was based on speculation.

32. When Lambo?

The Best Cryptocurrency Wallets to Use in the Philippines

A cryptocurrency wallet is a piece of software or application where you *store your bitcoin, ether, or any other virtual currencies that you have.

Think of it like the wallet where you store your money. You put your paper bills in the wallet. Everyone knows you have a wallet (unless you don’t, which is very very alarming), but only you can take the money out of your wallet. (Note: Click here if you want a bitcoin wallet-centric article. Continue reading if you want to know more about cryptocurrency wallets not just for btc but for all coins.)

Private and Public Addresses
The cryptocurrency wallet has private and public keys (or private and public addresses). When you send your friend John an altcoin, you send it to his public address. Remember that the blockchain is a public ledger. Everyone John transacts with knows his public address. Everyone even knows how much altcoin is in his wallet.

But only John can take the coin out of that wallet. That’s because he’s the only one who knows the private key (or private address) to open his his wallet.

Characteristics of Best Cryptocurrency Wallets
Wallets come in different forms. For example, there are many bitcoin wallets. Also, there are different wallets for different cryptocurrencies. Well, there are wallets where you can put many coins. Examples are wallets on cryptocurrency exchanges (like the one on Bittrex).

But wallets on an exchange are not secure. Furthermore, because exchanges trade millions of bitcoin per day, they are a prime target for hackers. Most of the time, the best wallets are the ones that give you access to your private and public keys. But those are still nothing if the wallet’s creators do not have a strong reputation (or maybe unknown). What’s more, it depends on your risk assessment and comfort. If you trust the company with your private keys, or whether you want your altcoins offline. We list down the best cryptocurrency wallet for users in the Philippines.

Note: Every wallet listed here are wallets that you can freely download. Technically, all wallets are available globally, but some, like Abra, Coins, and Bitbit also have a team on the ground in PH. Some provide a watered-down version of their platforms, like Coinbase that only allows us to store our coins. Meaning, its wallet functions are available to us. But their other features, like quick exchange and trading are not available for users in the country.

Best Cryptocurrency Wallets for Philippine users

Online Wallets
Simply put, these are wallets you can access online, either on a web browser and/or a mobile app. These provide convenience although most of the time, they control your private keys. They are called “hot wallets” because of that.

Desktop Wallets
Desktop wallets sit on your computer and are generally secure. Most of the time you control your private keys. Some, like Exodus, offers the ability to convert your coins to another via its Shapeshift integration (this means you can trade your coins instantly to any other supported coins).

Hardware Wallets
Hardware wallets are the real deal. You can say it puts your bitcoin offline, but technically, you put your private keys offline, away from the Internet where everything can be hacked if you’re not careful. They are also generally expensive. However, many cryptocurrency websites agree on one thing – they are probably one of the most secure ways of keeping your coins safe.
Note: You can also check out the Ledger Nano S Wallet at Lazada!

Paper Wallets

Dubbed as the least expensive way to keep your coins. 
The private addresses are literally printed on a paper. We can recommend two:
  • Bitcoin Paper Wallet supports bitcoin.
  • My Ether Wallet wants you to print on a paper your wallet details.

Safety Tips for Cryptocurrency Wallets

Unlike keeping your wallets in an exchange, the crypto wallet represents your best bet in keeping your coins safer.
Here are some tips:

1. If the wallet has a password, don’t give the password to someone else. Write it on a piece of paper and make sure it’s a complicated one.
2. Never ever tell your private keys to someone else. Never put your private keys in plain text format. A virus can corrupt it and you can bid your coins goodbye.
3. Create multiple backups of your files that are related to your coins. If you did not print your bitcoin paper wallet, create backups of it and secure it with passwords, zip file, whatever you can do to make sure no one can access it but you.
4. If you opt for a hardware wallet, like Trezor. Make sure it’s genuine! Also, if your hardware wallet contains an inordinate number of coins, you should keep it somewhere safe. Not on top of your refrigerator, but somewhere safe, like a vault. We’re serious.

Trading Like a Boss: Takes Time and Research

Trading crypto is not easy and it takes time and patience. Even if you think you know all the chart patterns, indicators, and cryptocurrency street knowledge you can still lose everything.

Individual who is very knowledgeable about technical analysis, and they also follow the street very closely, might make some very wrong predictions. Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin can often trick traders, and all that street knowledge and TA goes out the window. Traders with extremely crafted TA skills can lose their shirt in a matter of minutes in bitcoin-land. So, make sure you know for certain that’s a legitimate head n shoulder or bull flag.

Confidence is Silent

Learning to trade can be difficult but there are so many experts in the field and online resources that can teach anyone to trade cryptocurrencies. The first thing to realize is that bitcoin markets or any cryptocurrency markets are very different than your average stock or FX trading arenas. In fact, many people will tell you that traditional technical analysis (TA) will never be accurate when it comes to digital currency markets. However, there are those that use TA regularly to day trade, make a living, and predict the short-term price swings we all know and love.

Studying Japanese candlestick charts can produce patterns that may be helpful towards predicting short and long-term price movements.

The first thing a trader should get to know is the most common financial chart used in the cryptocurrency industry which is the candlestick chart. The size of each candlestick represents a certain time interval, and individuals who study TA look for patterns in the market. This is when you will hear about certain chart patterns like the ‘Head n Shoulders, the Cup n Handle, Triple Top & Triple Bottom,” and many more funky phrases. However, these pattern help traders predict cryptocurrency price movements in the short and long term. They say after memorizing enough patterns individuals can see them subconsciously while day trading.

Cryptocurrency traders then take things to the next level by using a wide variety of tools that are also known to help forecast price movements in markets. One of the biggest indicators in the market many traders utilize is moving average data. For instance, a Simple Moving Average (SMA) is used by calculating the average of a digital assets closing value over a set interval. An Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Displaced Moving Average (DMA) are more complex than the SMA. An EMA responds in a swifter manner to price fluctuations while the DMA is moved in set periods of time so a trader can predict market trends.
Moving averages are common trendlines followed by traders.

Another helpful tool used in trading digital assets is the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The oscillator basically determines the price momentum whether it climbs or falls. The measurement of speed is recorded between 0-100 and it’s one of the most popular trading indicators in many markets. The squiggly line typically meanders about sideways, or up or down, and if the line dips below 30 the market is oversold. When the RSI starts climbing past 70 then the analyst will say the price is overbought.


The RSI and MACd are just a couple of different indicators that help traders forecast price movements.

Moving averages and the RSI is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cryptocurrency trading tools. Traders use other tools such as Bollinger Bands, Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACd), Stochastic, the Detrended oscillator, Fibonacci retracement and so much more. All of these tools and more are combined with plotting chart patterns used by traders flipping cryptocurrencies on the side or for a living. They are also incorporating other methods like Elliott Wave Theory and the tenets of the Dow theory so they can forecast the infamous bitcoin ups and downs in value.


The basic five wave sequence found in common Elliot Wave patterns.

Now good traders can study all of this stuff and figure out how to use these types of indicators. However, smart traders are also listening to the streets of crypto, so to speak, as many cryptocurrency enthusiasts have realized that news and community emotions can move the price of bitcoin. For instance, if there is a large exchange hack or some government ruling in the short term you can probably guess bitcoin’s price will go down a touch. If there is positive news like CME and Cboe opening futures markets some people bet the price would go up. Most traders are listening very closely to all that happens in bitcoin because they have a lot of skin in the game.


The way a pump and dump works:

Pump and dump groups are scams. The organiser is the only one that generally makes money. They buy a crypto cheap. Then the announce it to a select few who buy not quite as cheap. Then they announce it on a telegram or social media (discord / twitter) platform. The frenzy of noobs buy it up high while the organiser offload it onto the people participating in the pump.

They use all the pump group members as shills (shill = people who hype and advertise a coin without using logic - e.g. xyz coin is going to moon buy it now! ) to spam trollboxes, forums and get them to involve their friends.

Sometimes the shills make some money but eventually they or someone else end up holding the bags (bags = overpriced crypto that you cannot sell without making a substantial loss). The shills will have crypto that is worth much less than you paid because they  participated in the scam and got caught out by the scam.

Pumps and dumps also hurt the crypto it targets and crypto as a whole.

Trader’s viewpoint:

I suggest, you should have actual analysis base on facts and concrete evidences that will show a fluctuation of trades, otherwise it is all bullsh*t. There are long game e.g., 40% Long-Term, 25% Mid-Term, and 35% on-hand currency for quick flips. If you are looking to capitalize on small percentage gains (1-10%) by trading a lot with a decent amount of bitcoin, there are coins designed for just that purpose (do your research). As for those short-term 5,000%+ gains, ironically, that requires a bit mid-term strategy. I do not usually advice putting a bunch of coins on these all at once; you will likely lose your money or scare off the pumpers. Accrue gradually with small amounts that will not make the price fluctuate much and keep in silent, the more people you let know about it will likely smashup your investment, best to do these so you know whether it's stable enough, observe.
 
If you see pump activities, put more on right price before it takes off. When those coins that are going to sprout up in the next couple of days, most are nearly impossible to tell with more than an hourly notice, you pretty much have to stay ready and always observe the markets for coins that were not on the radar beforehand. Remember to never set single sell walls; divide it up on multiple prices, the lower the amount on each price the higher probabilities you have of it being sold. Try to stay under 0.10btc per price on high volume coins and 0.05btc on lower volume coins, might suggest spreading them out deliberately for you to regain your original investments early on and still have free coins to play with.

Wow! Very tremendous effort you've done and very interesting to wait what will happen before the end of 2018. I do believe the positive thinking in every side but I also forming a question back in my mind if bitcoin will hit 50k dollars before the end of 2018 it could be a big big big achievement because what is happening now isn't look like what is the position of positive predictions of bitcoin. I hope that it will happen for the good of all.

You can start to buy bitcoin while it is low. Everything happens for a reason and a purpose.

I think the positive news about bitcoin is a good opportunity and fastest way to earn lot of money. It is top online job to all of over the world. About bitcoin history is many users are used bitcoin to get a extra income and good salary. Bitcoin is accepted to everyone for payment a bills and it is easy get a cash without atm card just follow the steps.

Yes, of course this is a positive news. Which could change the speed of Bitcoin. Bitcoin's development and promotion will continue. There was no good news for some days, including the Bitcoin, for the other currency. Some of the false news, due to the fact that the prices of all the currencie's including Bitcoin were going down in the market. Now it is turning round. Which is a good news for us.This will increase our interest and we get quick money. Bitcoin's work is the best thing. I hope the better news in the future is waiting for us.


Everything is possible when you believe. I am a strong believer that bitcoin is the future and we are the future.
