I think this is very true. To be safe, you should assume that only the first bids and asks are genuine (maybe also second as well). All the others are probably fake orders, and even if they are not, you had better think that way. But you can learn a lot just by looking at the order book and its evolution in time. Just spend a couple of hours looking at it, identifying bid walls, number of orders, bidding pressure, and supply and demand runs. It may give you a good indication of the market.

By the end of 2017, Bitcoin hits $20,000. In the beginning of 2018, the market is always dowtrend and seriously reduced, the price of BTC is only half or less than half of the peak of last year. But I have always been hoping for this market, by the smart solution that it brings, staying focused on technology and trust, I will continue to hold even though the asset has evaporated 40% compare to from the beginning 2018. What about you?, Have you confidence in the market you join? How much you lost?

Recently i was working on a project related to Altcoin listing on different exchanges. Strange i found out too many new exchanges and people are trading well over there. Don't you guys think there should be limited number of exchanges and regulated ones? (Many new exchanges are nicer too and competitive but there is always a trust issue there specially for new investors). Your thoughts.

I am still eager to think more positive ways despite how unpredicatable the market is. We couldn't control it actually because if there's an option to manipulate the current market, I woudl really love to do that. We're bound here to earn profit so the desire is always there , but since the current situation remarkably stressing us out, maybe we must stay calm for the main time.

I guess my point here is that, we will still have the same system. Same banks, governments but the backend if you will, will change. Instead of this slow system which banks use, it will be private centralized Blockchain. And we, the individuals will still live in the same corrupt, centralized, controlled system instead of a free society with as little corruption as possible.

Got in at the height of Jan this year and all holdings lost more than half from the previous peak.

Very frustrated and was afraid that crypto will be zeroed out, so sold at massive loss more than 50%+ realized loss

After sold last week, all coins came back up 10-20%, even more frustrated, what to do?

I bought bitcoin when it was around $14,500 in January and I am still holding because I am not discouraged.  I have great hope that bitcoin is going to increase in price and volume in some years to come. 

Hallo zusammen

Von welchen Projekten seid ihr auch längerfristig überzeugt?

Bei mir sieht es im Moment wie folgt aus:

1. ETH , kleineres Risiko
2. NEM, mittleres Risiko
3. NAS, höheres Risiko
4. XSN (hodle Masternodes) , höheres Risiko

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Michael Owen is launching a cryptocurrency in his own name, joining other famous sportsmen including Manny Pacquiao in a new venture to connect with fans.

The retired England star announced Wednesday his investment in the Singapore-based Global Crypto Offering Exchange (GCOX) as he unveiled the “Owen Coin”.

Could this be a booster to cryptocurrency because these celebrities have big influence world wide and could invariably canvass more support for cryptocurrency.

A few countries and central banks have been talking about “digital currency”, and most of them are carefully ignoring the term “crypto”. Fact is- digital currency is not the same as cryptocurrency. These countries/central banks are recognizing the benefits of the digital currency features of cryptocurrency, but they don’t want any of the decentralized uncertainties that come with blockchain-based currencies.
Will countries or central banks create their own cryptocurrency?

It is said now China is a cashless society. Use of debit and credit cards in shops/stores, online pay bills, shopping online.

Money earned from the internet is known as digital/electronic money. People who earn money from the internet, they get paid money in electronic form by payment processors such as skrill, perfectmoney, alipay, paypal, bank-wire transfers because online workers are worldwide.

Last month, I got $20 from online surveys. The money was sent to my bank account via online payment processor. Now if I buy 2 shirts using debit cards at offline or online stores, there is no cash involved but I have 2 shirts.

Just like Bitcoin which does not have a physical presence, money/cash will not have physical presence in "cashless society/countries" where money becomes digital/numbers.

Bitcoin is a part of digital money. How is digital money is your country ??

Please, what are the reliable crypto trading platforms or exchanges you know especially platforms that has Btc/Usd. And how do I go about it. Thanks.
