Yeah, we are all simply looking out for the same thing anyway with the way the market is going and the buying momentum is gradually dying down. However, we may still have some days before we would really know how this would end as things may turn out slow a little bit before then. So far, the chances of breaking lower are increasing with the indicators and normally, we would get to see a reversal, but how long this reversal would be way down, is pretty much what no one can say.

I would not say Monero cannot be listed. The way some of these exchanges that are fiat based works is not just basically to monitor the transactions from wallet to wallet, but the transaction within the exchange. That is where the whole money laundering thing comes in anyway, except for those who may want to go the dark way and preferably not go through exchanges to invest. With that, as long as you are registered on the exchange and you are making fiat-cryptocurrency transactions, all that will end up being monitored.

You are right, we are all after return and one thing we should always keep in mind is the fact that no matter what, the market will always have its huge fluctuations, so it is always better that when you have some sweet returns to at least, use those moments to sweep those profits and look forward to buying back at dips.

Moreover this is for the traders anyway and for long term investors, the long term benefit is always superb anyways. Due to watch lots of factors I do usually hate to engage myself with trading. Trading is good only for the people are having some excess money to risk and for all other, simply holding will be the only available and viable method.

Oh please... the fact that it is volatile does not make it any worse that fiat. I guess you should have known that already. As long as everyone understands this is a new market and until we probably have a huge market cap and a lot of bigger investors in, we will keep seeing this level of volatility. All we have on the chart is just people getting greedy unnecessarily based on speculations, buying into FOMO, those are some set of inexperienced investors who just want to get rich overnight and what do you expect from the market ?

Even without regulation, it is beginning to have a huge effect. Looking at what has happened to CTR recently, we would realize how much the system is already and gradually being cleaned. It is a highly self principled distributed system hence it will work more effective than a centralized regulated system.

In one word, even the projects in the market who have gone against the rules in the past when the market was not regulated are no longer going to be safe in a regulated market, while those who are legal will remain and in this kind of structure, there would be a lot of trust for those who may want to invest big in the market.

Yeah in-fact, the first step before even starting to gamble is to always set those limits for yourself and be disciplined enough not to over step them. I said that because it is one easy thing to set limits and it is another thing to stick to those limits. Gambling comes with a lot of impulses and it takes those discipline to be able to caution self not to derail from the initial plan or limit you have set for yourself. Without this, addiction is just around the corner.

Newbie gamblers may fail with their attempts to set self-limits as limiting is not at possible in the beginning days of gambling but after experiencing the many frustrating moments with gambling, then everyone will come to a point of time where they all think about "regulating" themselves.

Yeah, it is usually the best feelings. I remembered my first time of winning a jackpot in real life though, it was like the whole cloud and heavens came down on me. However, in as much as I was tempted to play more in Jackpot, I never did go past what I do normally, but this time, I invested this big winning.

I always have the idea of putting that money to work, so as to have more to spend. That is life and that is always the main idea and I only saw that winning as a stepping stone which I was extremely happy about.

Actually, let those who want to think they can get the best from gambling by thinking positively keep doing that.
I am sure with that, the casino owners will keep having profitable days and the shrinks/psychologists will keep getting paid to get back those who had the wrong mindset on track.

It is funny really while reading through the thread from the start that some people and even majority actually think positive thinking would make them win most of the time in gambling. I really want to see how that has been working out for them.

Yeah, normally, even after learning how to trade, you will always be told to start small, practice what you have learned, and then build confidence from there. Trading is not easy, asides learning, real life experience can get you to make some silly mistakes but the thing is as long as you keep building on what you have learned.

When you will always keep getting better as time goes on and once you are able to build that confidence, trading would become more like an easy and normal job to you, no matter the amount you are using but I would always consider starting with a minimum of $100 and a max of $200 for a new trader.

These are some of the things we will always get to deal with. This is first of all a new and small market and until we see a huge growth in the long run before we may start considering to see some level of stability but for now, there is really nothing anyone can do than to just keep holding irrespective of what is going on and stop checking the price every minute as long as they are looking forward to the future and they do not want their emotions to end up sending them out of the market.

The main idea of checking your investment once in a while is just to access them and not to panic, and there is no way it is going to be easy not getting tempted once in a while to check them. However, it is just a way to stay in tune on the situation of things while looking forward to the future. However, for those who have the tendency to panic, I would always advise there is really no need since it is going to end up giving them unnecessary emotional stress anyway.

It is even obvious most of the people trading today are gamblers and not traders. Ask some, the only strategy they have is to buy when it is red and sell when it is green and no way for them to even know if they are buying in the right spot or selling in the right spot and how to use these decisions to their own advantage. All the above, it seems people will always tend to be the 'I want to get rich quickly' set of individuals and that mentality will always make them to make mistakes with their funds.

If that happens, it must really be an altcoin that has not been developed yet as I do not see anyone so far that stands that chance and anything anyone wants to say, they are free as everyone has their opinion. However, it is easy to give some promise for something, and it is easy to put it in books, but when it comes to reality and real life testing, that is when we get to see the real thing.

Bitcoin had a tough time with congestion last year when the whole FOMO started and then everyone started giving us the bull story about how bitcoin sucks. I guess there are just some set of people who really prefer the idea of attacking bitcoin at the slightest chance they get. Hopefully they get to find what they are looking for.

Filtering out scam projects from the right one is not easy and easy at the same time. If you are able to do some due diligence, I believe it is always going to be easy to get the best from ICO and most especially if you make the team your first target when doing your research and investigation.

A lot of people only look at the surface, such as road map and whitepaper and then invest without even asking more questions regarding those who are behind the project and evaluating the future of projects. Their results are well known for all of us even there will be no intentional scams were planed up earlier.

Dedication is even an attribute you surely need to have if anyone is thinking of daytrading at all. However, luck is not the only thing one would need as this is not gambling. It is something that can be done well, and you will always require skills and knowledge to be able to day trade the market and get the best of it.

A lot of people imagine is luck and they always end up losing so much. Daytrading need some quick level of thinking and making decisions which is why a lot of noobs get emotional easily.

We cannot just expect a huge bullish momentum all of a sudden, moreover for those who wish they still want to buy more, I guess there would be enough time for accumulation but the possibility of seeing lower MAY not come anymore.

Still, who knows, the market can decide to give another bonus, so let us see how this is going to be playing out anytime soon though but one thing we can never stop seeing is the volatility as it happens in every market. As per current market situations, the market may keep rising as US tax payers may come with fresh capital to bump bitcoin prices.

I really hope he still gets to eat his dick if he ends up wrong anyway. However, looking at the chart, it sure looks like a prediction that is possible and if we really do get to see this, it is going to be extremely interesting how the whole market is going to be like.

Like you have mentioned, we are really on track, oversold, and trying to bounce back over the red line. It sounds like impossibility though within this period, but I am open to believe anything as even $10,000 sounded unbelievable few years ago.

Hello Aventhe,

Could you please confirm the way you will be counting posts for current week (and for up coming weeks) ?
Kindly check and count the posts made in last 7 days (at the time of counting posts) rather than just checking profile page's post count.

Thanks for head up. I must appreciate your memory.

It may really not be a good idea in the real sense when considering the volatility, but when considering long term and in the case where it may actually be an emergency being focused not on the present moment, probably for the case of the future, it is not a bad idea. One thing is that bitcoin can serve both as savings and as an investment which is one thing fiat can never give you.

Still, it would be stupid of someone to put all emergency savings into bitcoin anyway unless he has access to bitcoin ATM or bitcoin debit card kind of 247 supporting services. In some sense I do treat bitcoin as a retirement account. Yes, my plans are long term based.

It is normal for some bounty hunters who actually do not care about the future of the coin or token to sell immediately and that is what makes an investor different or those bounty hunters who are not doing it for the quick gains but the long term and they try as much as possible to investigate the coin they are doing anything for even before they join.

HODL is effective but not returning the similar profits of trading anyway, since you would have been able to at least use the fluctuation to increase your position with trading where holding requires lots of waiting time period and only with price increase you may achieve what you prefer.

I really do not get what you are driving at ? They are all investment and you can decide to choose whatever you want to invest in as long as you understand the market and you believe it is going to pay you. Cryptocurrency market in general is a new market, and a lot of opportunities abound to tap from and if anyone is not seeing that, I guess that is there cup of tea.

Every investor is always looking for new opportunity and nothing bad in adding it to your folio even if you are investing in stocks or real estate.
