361  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Story of crypto market on: November 10, 2018, 02:11:50 PM
I think more than 50% of crypto trader loss money from crypto trading because all crypto was long down trend since January. I loss more than 50% and I keep waiting for next bull market to recover that loss,  and while doing day trading. I learned much thing from this bearish market,  and I will make better strategy to avoid so much loss.
Yes, that is one statistics that no one can know, but the main thing I can logically deduct right now is that most of the people that invested towards the end of the last quarter of last year by joining FOMO out of greed, most definitely are not having a good story to tell.

Nonetheless, I keep telling people that even if you do not have a good story to tell, try as much as possible to consider having a good story to tell in the future which in this case, if you know there is great potential in what you are investing in for the future, you will not have a problem picking the prices below $10k right now knowing it is a pretty good bargain when comparing to the value of the market in the long run.

It is essential that you spend some time firstly learning more about trading cryptocurrencies, and getting good knowledge about its skills. This field isn't totally safe, and it is involving a high level of risk, especially if you can't choose the right coins, or you can't analyze the market and the charts.
Like other earning sources of world, definitely when you intend to start something new, like a new business, you must learn about it. You have to grab every single essential information regarding this thing. If you don’t make it, you could never reach the level of success. How can someone supposed to make money from thing him or her even don’t know about?
Learning is one thing that has differentiated the successful ones from the unsuccessful ones over time. Like they always say, the only thing that differentiates a rich man from a poor man is information, and basically that is the knowledge we are talking about and you cannot have gain this knowledge without learning.

When it comes to being successful you have to make a lot of sacrifices with spending time and enough of it to know exactly what you are about to do. It is more like trying to drive a car on a freeway, and you do not have an idea how to even handle or control a steering. Crash and burn is always what comes afterwards. Apply same mindset to trading and you will realize how much you need to learn before starting at all.
363  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are all Bitcoin Exchange connected to each other? on: November 09, 2018, 10:48:48 AM
Im just wondering. If the price of bitcoin increases. all of the other exchanges follow..
i'm just wondering how does it happen?

i know some of the exchange are just 10 usd lower than others but im wondering why all of them increases accordingly?
They are really that much connected aside from just people knowing how to arbitrage.
I mean if the price somewhere was wildly different don't you think someone would buy and sell on different exchanges to make up the difference ?

The only difference that ever happens is either short timed or very small to care about because of the transfer fees that keeps the profits lower.

There are hundreds of exchanges out there and I am sure there must be some exchanges that connected in a way that some exists in one country while the other exists in some other country and they are both owned by the same corporation but aside from that all the big ones are located differently and owned by different people and until the acquisitions start in crypto business it will stay that way.

What do you think: is it time to sell a part or wait for growth?
Definetly a short possibility here. First of all everyone is picking up bitcoin cash because they want to get the free coins coming with the hard fork, that is the only reason why the prices have gone up because people want the fork and than want to cash both out and go back to original bitcoin.

Considering we have these facts it means everyone knows these facts as well and will want to get out as quickly as possible after the fork, after the first 2 hours of the fork there will be a big crash in price for bitcoin cash unless the owners spend ton of money on keeping it alive. Which means there is a huge possibility of gaining a lot of money from both the fork and shorting it as well. Double profit chances awaits people who are fast enough to do them at the same time somehow.
365  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Hong Kong authorities presented the rules of cryptocurrency business on: November 08, 2018, 04:53:36 AM
Laws and regulations are getting our adoption rates higher in every country they are made. People are really afraid of getting into crypto with the fear of not knowing what will happen to their tax situation if they deal with crypto, I live in a country where it is definitely gray area, they know the existence of it and governmental talked about it but have not put any regulations on it and I know many friends who are afraid to get in not knowing what they would do if SEC say anything.

Hence, right now Hong Kong regulating the crypto world in their country would mean the adoption increasing a lot more this year. Each time a country does this we will see a new increasing number of users which is what we want for bitcoin and we are getting closer to the time when we can live on bitcoin without cashing to fiat.
366  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is TradingView? Advantages of TradingView ? on: November 08, 2018, 04:06:11 AM
Between all platform for charting, trading view is the best one because easy to use and available all thing that we need for trading. Trading view is the most usefull platform for all trader because all different asset available there, like crypto, stocks, forex, ETF, Bonds, etc.
Tradingviews biggest advantage is to allow you to make your own chart and see the data on it. It gives you freedom to be as crazy as you want or as simple as you get. I have seen people writing pinescript codes to find the most optimal places to buy and sell crypto and I have seen people just checking regular prices there, the amount of expertise is depended on the level you can use, there is no experts only or newbies only part of it, you decide which part of it you want to use.

It is certainly a helpful tool for all types of traders from long term to short term or from beginner to master of traders. The only downside of it is the GUI, it really looks horrible, I mean for a trading website I am not expecting something at the levels of apple graphic designers type level but at least make it a bit more prettier and easier to read.
367  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH progress in future? on: November 07, 2018, 11:41:45 AM
In 2018, Ethereum suffered an unprecedented blow, and maybe it will no longer be able to take off. But if it doesn't change, it will lose its original value. Be aware that ICO is being drastically reduced. Ethereum may be transforming into a strong stable currency. If so, he will exceed all stable coins. This may be the best way of Ethereum.
Well, that was expected with the number of scam coins that came into play and the fact that a lot of projects may be looking to hedge their funds pretty fast anyway. Nevertheless, there is nothing that will stop Ethereum from growing in the long run as long as there is no form of lag or lapses with development, which I believe we have been seen some interesting news lately from Butterin.

Ethereum has been the most used platform for smart contracts, and with more development in the protocol, I want to believe this would usher in more growth for Ethereum in the long run. There are other competitors though, but it would take a lot to be able to beat Ethereum to it, and that is if Ethereum ends up lagging behind in development.
368  Economy / Economics / Re: Mastercard is investing in blockchain on: November 04, 2018, 01:31:25 PM
Mastercard hates bitcoin (understandable) and keeps talking about how bitcoin is the money of criminals and it is spending so much energy and so forth always trying to find something to say bad about bitcoin and crypto in general but they LOOVE blockchain.

Blockchain is here thanks to bitcoin, they are one and together, without crypto currency you will have a worthless token based on blockchain creating a false chain that could be erupted or hacked or basically changed the way anyone wants because it is easier with a %51 attack taking control of the coin itself. If you do not want that to happen you need hundreds of users at least if not thousands to make sure your blockchain is ran properly with a peer to peer connection making sure each chain is unique and not tampered with.
369  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do Crypto Traders need to learn a lot from Forex Trader if they want to succ on: November 04, 2018, 07:46:02 AM
My point is not to trade in the markets you see is not transparent and not protected by law.

In a nutshell, if the Crypto brothers want to trade successfully, (1) trade only the top coin, since it is harder to trade, (2) study more technical analysis, and learn from forex traders year, because they have good ptkt platform, suitable for speculation. Grin
It is not a secret that the systems in Forex currently have improved from the start and showed how it could be useful in other areas.

It has a proven record and has been worked on tireless to perfect. When you take that and go trade on bitcoin or other crypto currencies than it helps you out from the start, crypto traders do not have to work on their craft as much as the forex people because they start with the already figured out forex ways and just implement it on crypto.

There are main differences of these two worlds one of the biggest one being that Forex is still regulated highly and strictly but when it comes to day trading it is still viable. Of course, if you would like to invest for long term than the results are very different because bitcoin is much more volatile but day traders are usually using the same methods Forex traders use.

371  Economy / Economics / Re: AI, VR and AR combined with crypto will transform the economy on: November 01, 2018, 03:37:00 PM
This seems more like a game. Having AI as npc which creates a challenge for you because thanks to machine learning the computer controlled characters in the game definitely can learn what you do and react to it.

For example, in sports games such as NBA 2K when you are playing against the computer controlled team and do something couple times in a row they readjust to it and defend it better each time. Which means you can't keep doing the same thing over and over again.

VR on the other hand is still improving a lot, there are now stuff that helps you smell or feel the place you live and even building that clothing that will make you feel everything in the movie "ready player one" which will be amazing. All that combined with crypto could definitely build a new entirely different world and could definitely be an escape from reality for all of us.
372  Economy / Speculation / Re: Signs That The Bitcoin Bulls Are Ready To Break Out on: October 30, 2018, 02:23:53 PM
Like you said it's hard to predict what will be the price of bitcoin before year ends. Maybe next year is time to see bitcoin in a good price because now we still in stable price and don't have any sign of bull run. Let's hope that we see bitcoin in good price this year.
Everything about a market is always going to be hard to predict, there is no doubt about that, but right now, I feel the thing with this market is that there is a possibility in two ways, which would be either we get to breakout upward and switch to an uptrend or we breakout downward and continue with the downtrend. Right now, we just have a market that is trying to make that decision in our hands and until then before we can start getting sure of what would be happening next at least. Although, the optimism is huge in the space at the moment, but we just have to wait it out.

it is all speculation as time will basically decide for itself what it wants and all we can do now is to be patient and be hopeful that we at least switch back to an uptrend in a matter of time as this is the only thing that can even give some small hope as the case may be.
Yes, every crypto adopter is praying for those trend changes to end their year-long waiting. It is already going to be year end and every year had proved some good news for bitcoins so far (there could be one or two exceptions), hence these type of speculation discussion are most common when bitcoin is into down market conditions.

Either bitcoin gets to go bullish or keeps being bearish; a lot of the markets are pretty down to a huge extent, so for now, we just have to take advantage of what we have.
I guess most people here have already taken the advantage of 'so far' down markets and that is the core reason why they are looking for the 'trend-change'. I mean how long you can expect a common individual to keep on buying on every dips and his holding are going down continuously ?
373  Economy / Economics / Re: China systematically hijacks internet traffic on: October 30, 2018, 08:08:37 AM
I guess it is definitely bad no matter what but doesn't it also important where that traffic comes from.

I can see the traffic was suppose to go to places like Toronto and Korea and so forth but in the end it was china where it lead however if it came from china and was aiming at outside but was bounded back to china that it makes sense, china is a high censored country with all the internet being under control of the party and if it means china trying to keep Chinese in Chinese internet than it would make sense.

It is still not alright to drive traffic back into country when they want to check other countries but trying to redirect a traffic from USA to Toronto into USA to China would mean much worse than a traffic driven from China back to China if you ask me, they are doing it themselves is still understandable.
374  Economy / Economics / Re: Recession in the Economy on: October 26, 2018, 01:19:39 PM
It is always bound to happen once in a while. It happened back in 87 and than again in 2001 and again in 2008, we have been in the longest running bull run of economy ever for the history and not just time but generally in the marketcap valuations, apple hit 1 trillion for the biggest example. How big is 1 trillion ?

Back in the day when "standard oil" was a thing and cornered all the petroleum market all over america it was basically ruining all other competition and ruled a sector by all itself, than it was divided into many small companies in order to prevent this monopoly and killing competition and those companies all combine for a trillion dollars today, yet apple has that all by itself.

Basically the bull run was not only a long period of time (10 is a lot in economy) but also increased faster than any other time in history. This of course caused the prices of everything go up as well and that created a lack of funds on regular people that couldn't afford luxurious stuff anymore and slowly couldn't afford regular stuff neither which caused companies to not sell as much and basically created a recession.
375  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bakkt launching on Dec12, is it will start a bull run? on: October 23, 2018, 03:16:04 PM
That is just futures and if we have seen enough of the futures so far and how they affect the prices of bitcoin I think just futures would be really scary for all of us. Even with bitmex that is basically our own we are still seeing a lot of people betting on bitcoin going down and whales spending millions of dollars into short futures and trying to keep the price as low as miners allow them and try to make as much money from it as possible.

Futures are creating a conondurum which allows rich people to both sell bitcoin (create capital for themselves) and at the same time buy short futures with that same money and make double the income. Whereas if they want to make money by buying long futures they would have to both buy bitcoin to increase the price (costs capital) and buy long futures at the same time (costs capital as well) which means they need to spend double the amount for probably even less profit.
376  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Has Hit the Bottom: Why it is Unlikely to Fall Below $6,000 on: October 21, 2018, 02:23:36 AM
Most obvious reason probably is that it is harder to get it under any price of 6k thanks to miners. If the miners are not making any profit than why would they mine, if they stop mining than how are we going to get more bitcoins and quicker transactions. People really do NEED miners and they need to sell it for a certain amount which at the moment is 6k for it.

Yes, couple years ago when the price was maybe 500 bucks the miners still mined but they have mined much easier and less difficulty, now the difficulty increased like hell which made mining insanely high and the fee got a lot smaller thanks to segwit and stuff like that so they are not making that much any more. Hence the price will not drop under 6k because the miners would not allow that to happen and stop selling which would make the balance higher for buyers who will get the price back to what miners want.
377  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: OPINION NEEDED - Building a wiki-like free project about world of crypto trading on: October 19, 2018, 12:38:54 PM
The best addition you could do should be the difference between the exchanges and the 24 hour lows and highs of those exchanges and differences. I know it is a wiki type website but nothing stops you from putting up exchanges there as well like coinmarketcap , it would not be fitting the idea of crypto wiki website however it would definitely help.

Aside from that the amount of people you have writing there and editing there will decide on if it will live or not. You can't write about everything yourself, there is no way for you to find that much research time and manhours to put into a website so the thing you have to do is to get people to write there and edit the written stuff. The more info you have there the more visitors you will get.

The trouble here is that normal wikipedia has a lot of stuff informed in bitcoin anyway so there is a huge competition.
378  Economy / Speculation / Re: When is CBOE ETF? on: October 18, 2018, 05:14:58 PM
When is the CBOE ETF decision by SEC? I think it was supposed to be in August.
I think good news regarding CBOE will come out, and it will continue the bull market.
They have to really take a look at this for a long time to really accept it to be honest. In reality we all just want it to get accepted and get the bull and become rich and sip our margarita on a malibu beach however this is a financial deal and if they accept it than they are saying all the world bitcoin is a valid item to trade and invest into.

They have to really take a look at it carefully and see if it would make any sense at all, you are talking about an investment chance for something that has no regulations, you can't regulate the price of bitcoin and you can't really regulate anyone manipulating the price of bitcoin, so you would allow american people to invest into something no one has control over and easily manipulated.

Hence, it is a very difficult thing to say yes to right away. This is why it takes time and even after all of this they could still say no to it but after all this time I am thinking it is more likely a yes than a no because they could have rejected it at first sight but if they are taking a good look at it than it means they are positive on it.
379  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A suggestion for ICO promoters and bounty managers on: October 15, 2018, 06:48:31 PM
These are real problems that are damaging this forum and the ICOs...but they are not only present here, 90% of the ICOs are scams...
In general I agree with your points and with your purposed solutions, just think that on point 1 of the solutions, 50.000 would be difficult to advance for someone that is raising money... and this would be based on the trust from the promoters on the Bitcointalk staff...
all the rest seems fair and easily implemented and in my oppinion the inclusion of these rules/steps on the bounty/ann sections would help a lot to preserve the image and reputation of this forum and help the crypto world to preserve this ICO/bounty system that helps both ICOs as well as bounty hunters
cheers
They are really some crazy problems I must say but at the same time, there is just a limit to what the moderators will be able to do in this case.

First, we need to understand this is a community and it is a decentralized community with everyone having the license to easily post whatever they like and as much as I feel what the OP have said, there are some things that we have to understand is not going to be plausible and would possibly just drive out investors traffic from this platform. Some good points were raised, such as KYC, screening of bounty participants, but the rest I really do not see how it can work.

For instance, if i have a project, i can decide to recruit anyone I like who can do the job without having to look for the likes Yahoo, Lutpin and co before getting that done.

What we should not forget is that we all have a part to play when it comes to doing proper digging on the project we want to advertise for and really that is the best way to go about this whole issue of being involved in a scam project or not.
380  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The advantage of day trader on: October 12, 2018, 11:00:37 AM
the best advantage of a tradwr is that fhey have the ability to gain or earn profits without depending on the people around them. They can easily manage and earn by use of their own knowledge and strategic ideas. Many people today wants to become a trader so if yoi are one of them, do your best and learn in order for you to gain and achieve your goal to become a trader.
That is always the advantage, either as a day trader, short term trader, midterm trader or long term trader. The market will always have fluctuations, so the ability to always be able to take advantage of those fluctuations is what makes a trader to always have an edge in the long run as they tend to increase their stash even with their potential profit in the long run. When it comes to trading, the level of profit you can get from it determines the level of risk as well, which is why day trading even though it can reward a trader, if you have no idea of what you are doing, you can quickly and easily get burned.

Day trading is very profitable way to make money. But for this you must be an expert about day trading. If you become an expert day traders, then you will get more advantage to get high profts.
We need to be "expert" everywhere to enjoy all types of "profitable" ways. There are 1000s of known profitable ways in trading and in every other opportunities of our life but being an expert is not that easier like you sound. But holding way of trading is not fast way of enjoying profits still you can do it by not becoming an expert in trading. Now, please tell me which one you will choose ?
