Over-confidence is always a negative factor and not just in crypto trading nor in trading field. Our level of confidence should be derived from the depth analysis but most traders are getting those level of confidence due to their experiences and amount of capital available for trading which are always less-influencing factors hence such type of traders usually end up booking losses. Being confidence is just a belief and we need to understand our thoughts has nothing to do with market directions.

Always being humble and polite against market will help any trader. Yes, I mean we must follow the stop loss and target levels and out of confident, we should not try anything new. Simply, sticking within basics of trading will lead to profitable trading always .

All altcoin trading and investments do not fall into the category of uncalculated risking as there are many good and real use-case based altcoins which are always good to invest and trade with. Ethereum must be one of them. They are good for long term investment even IEO is replacing the use cases of ethereum. I mean ethereum platform will find enough space against the tough competitions from IEO and BNB or EOS kind of new platform providers.

You may be right with your approach but if you are successful and able to get good returns for your altcoin investments in terms of bitcoins then that would be a life changing opportunity rather than simply holding bitcoins for years.

Like ICO scammers, there are market scammers who trap innocent investors with deceive articles in regular medias and then pump and dump in exchanges. Ripple must be one good example for those kind of scenario. This is not individual's problem but for part of community itself. Yes, they are able to misguide large number of community members through open discussion on this forum and few articles in medium kind of reputed media.

Their big weapon is their capability to move markets on their own direction. These type of people are easily becoming whales and with their plans of re-investing they keep manipulating markets and keep deceiving innocent traders and investors. Sticking with highly reputed and decentralized coins must be the only possible solution as per my experience.

All those crimes that you have mentioned here, how exactly do you expect cryptocurrency to stop such crimes? Substance abuse?
Fiat don’t even have anything to do with that. For someone to commit such a crime they must have made up their mind to do it, so it’s a decision.

Cryptocurrency is not going to solve any problem, things are still going to be as they are, except that we will be able to trace money where they are going to and if it’s being regulated the culprits will be caught; this is only in case of scam and related events. That people are using cryptocurrency doesn’t mean an armed robber won’t stop you and demand for your coins.

Reality is the "only" 80k is not really as correct as we would like to hope for. Of course, I would love it if bitcoin reaches 80k but that would be inconsiderable while economy is at this level. Just to give an example, worlds biggest markets NYSE and NASDAQ have 26 trillion and 18 trillion market caps, bitcoin itself if reaches 80k would have 1.5+ trillion dollar valuation in market cap, I am not saying it is impossible but having 10% of a whole stock markets valuation by itself does look a bit difficult, I would understand if the all crypto market together would worth 1.5 trillion that would be understandable but just bitcoin would be very rough.

It could happen tho, how? If everything else goes up as well, after certain years if market is high for everything else, why wouldn't it be for bitcoin too.

What can take this momentum continue or even go higher is the fact that hype should not go down, if the hype dies down and people start to think that the increase will stop, the increase will actually stop since its the people who actually buy and increase the price.

So, what we have to do is to keep the momentum going by making great positive posts, instead of saying "bitcoin goes down 700 dollars" we should reword as "bitcoin corrects 700 dollars" which is a more positive approach. Those type of changes will actually change how people look at bitcoin and this hype we have won't die down quickly and the increase won't stop. However, if you keep going like "will bitcoin crash", "is this the end of bitcoin", "3 charts that show why we are doomed" or whatever like that, we will stop going up for sure.

Yeah having a portfolio of both old and new coins could help out a lot, at least you would have a stable side and a risky side. For example, if you have 0.5 worth of bitcoins, having 0.3 btc worth of good old trusted coins like btc-eth-ltc and stuff like that would mean your 0.3 would become 0.5 in the end, maybe today, maybe in a year, maybe in two years but that will happen, so the other 0.2 is actually for risky plays.

With the other 0.2 btc you could buy brand new coins, ICO's, IEO's and many other stuff like that, maybe coins that have been around for a while but quite hail marry to just buy like doge or redd or whatever. However, I would suggest staying away from xrp,bch,bsv those are ran by people who are crooked and not liked, coins are fine themselves but anything weird could happen due to their owners.

Kante hasn't been in Leicester for the past 3.5 years or so if I am not wrong, I get that they found ndidi as the replacement and that is great for them (sometimes teams can't even find a replacement like that and go through many players in many years) but by this time they should have found a bench player at the very least.

I mean it could be hard to get a bench player I realize that but anyone would have been better than this right? Leicester is still a decent team, they are still comfortably at 3rd position and doubt that will change by the end of the season, they are at 45 pts right now and closest is Chelsea at 39, 6 pts difference, they can probably hold that off unless they go on a remarkably bad set of losing streaks following these two losses they had and can't recover from it.

Waves is talked about enough I believe, I mean there has been so many wave related projects that it got divided a bit, people talk about wave projects as much as they talk about wave but that goes unnoticed most of the time. Wave is a decent coin that actually has a very good amount of support from its community, it has a decent price as well right now ranked at around 50th spot so I don't know what would you consider talked about enough?

For a coin that is around 50th spot, it is talked about probably more than any other coin around it. Of course it has a good enough potential to jump as high as top 40 but without something marvelous and unexpected happens, I doubt it will actually move anywhere near top 25 for the foreseeable future. For such coin, it is really cool and has a good supporters.

I hate conor as much as the next guy and think that he is a good fighter but a bad human (yet his character sells a lot of tickets I can understand that), but to tell that this match was fixed would be very disingenuous towards Cerrone. Dudes first fight was in 2011, he is one of the veterans of the ring and has a record of 36-14, I mean that is 36 wins in UFC which is a lot of fights and a lot of wins, maybe he is getting a little bit older at 36 but dude is still a great fighter, nobody can say it will be an easy fight to go against him, Conor just lucked out early, give them 5 more matches and none of them will end this quickly.

Conor should focus on the title and not khabib, if khabib loses which I doubt he will, conor should get the title and defend it against khabib which would be a better fight honestly, yet if khabib wins which I am sure he will, the rematch would be very fun to watch.

I don't get why this topic loves Utah Jazz this much, for example Grizzlies have been on a 7 win streak as well which is even more astonishing because these guys were at 9th spot, even at 10th spot at one point but now they are about 2 games away from the 9th spot and managed to secure a spot at playoffs for this time being.

It is always good too see a good team go on a roll and have a win streak and move up positions but this was a team that actually everyone thought would miss playoffs and were tanking but they made a great streak of wins to come back here. After sending Marc Gasol and Mike Conley, people assumed memphis would be basically tanking all year and rivaling teams like kings or wolves at the fight for the bottom but now after sending two of their superstars that helped build this team, they are still looking like a first round exit team.

If we all get together we may end up actually doing something decent. For example all of us here would need money for sure, and all of us would love to be the winner, but how about we all get together on a pledge that we will give 1 btc to a charity if we win?

I know it is very very low possibility that we end up winning because even the last winner was purely just rolled couple times and moved on type of guy but from the looks of it we are like 10-15 people here who bought lambo tickets so we can build a pledge like that. Obviously we would need to pick a proper charity that all of us would agree on, some may like one thing others may dislike it, with the amount of how many charities in the world I am sure we can find one that all of us can agree on. We will then give that charity 1 bitcoin if we win, sure we need it too but lets face reality and realize there are people who need it even more than us.

Yeah, nobody (even people who didn't participate) can deny that it has been a very successful one. Not only in the sense that 3 years ago when this all started bitsler wasn't as big as it is now (which means signature campaign worked to get the website bigger) but also in the sense that it was very well managed by the campaign managers and also paid very well as well. That is literally all you can do from a signature campaign, it should be good for business that does it (it was), it should have good campaign manager (it did) and it should pay well (it did) so there has been not a single complaint about the signature campaign.

Of course, it is sad to see it go but after 106 bitcoins paid for it and 3 years of continuing, I assume it is time to say good bye to it.

I doubt they do it to keep us from investing into bitcoin, but they probably want people to not have enough money indirectly by wanting the rich to be richer which has nothing to do with crypto but still affects it. Think about it this way, if governments wants to get rich themselves or want their corporation friends to get rich, how will that be achieved? By not making the poor get better and making rich richer right? That looks like the only possible way at all.

So, that means people who live pay check to pay check will not be able to live comfortbly and that means they will not be able to invest in anything, not just crypto but not in stocks / gold or anything of value. So, in a way this sentiment is right, just not in a direct sort of way but kinda true in indirect ways.

Bitcoin is really doing good these days. I have seen a lot of predictions and they have all failed, though Dave on Twitter said there’s going to be an increase and he stated reasons, but there are other experts that have claimed he’s wrong so I can’t really tell where we are heading to. Based on what we have experienced in the past years, I guess there is going to be another bull run after the halving.

I am not having high expectations on Bitcoin because I know that anything can happen and we can be disappointed, so I always mind how much I’m investing.

You can actually pour each of your capital in gaining some knowledge as it would never make you feel guilty for wasting your capital but instead you would gain as much knowledge as possible. There are a number of platforms like udemy where you can purchase a number of courses and you would really gain a lot of useful information from those.

But, just try to check for the preview first and also the ratings and reviews posted by the users so that you can find a best course which is suitable for you. You can actually spend whole of your day in learning from such e-learning platforms as you will really get to learn a number of new things which would help you in earning a passive income.

Yes, etherum network has made it a lot easier to generate tokens in few minutes and one can actually generate his or her coin in just few minutes without actually writing the smart contract by just deploying their code on the etherum network.

The work has been made a lot easier and I guess it is what makes etherum go on a profitable edge from other coins. Etherum would always be used in the coming future as there are thousands of projects who need to generate their utility token for the running of their project in the future and etherum would really make it easy for them. There are also other networks like waves, eos, etc but generating tokens on their platforms is a lot hectic and also the use and circulation needs a lot knowledge about those.

Actually even if the project is not scam but registered under real name even than most of the ICO projects were held in court as using the blockchain/etherum network to develop and fund rise for the firms in not yet considered legal in most of the countries so they might never support the ICO sales. ICO sales were meant to boost the startup and convert it into a working individual firm supported by a number of investors participating in the sales.

But, a number of scam projects participated into such sales which really made it difficult to identify a real and a scam project. This made a lot of investors lose their capital and most of them already might have filed a case against those scam projects which also made some of them being caught and are now facing the punishment.

It’s good to look for a project with the right team or partnerships, though sometimes these are hard to come by and some of them can still do a good job but just needs the opportunity to prove themselves, but the right team and partnership is a good start.

I have seen various projects that kicked off really good but coming to end they turned to something else and disappointed their investors. Even scam projects there are lots of these days that pretends to be legit and very good, everything about them will look so good and will deceive the investors and as time goes on they show their true selves.
