Potential is always the main thing to always look out for in any coin. As long as you can check to see the dev team are the ones who are capable of working hard to kick the ball running every time, and they keep working to make sure the product will be useful and will crave a lot of demand for it in the nearest future. Like I always say, it is that demand for utility that will always make the value of any coin sustainable in the long run and not just some pump and dump.

That must be a negative aspect of vast development of crypto industry. Due to easier access and many convenient methods, people do fail to spend time to choose the right coins. It is easier to buy but buying what must need lots of dedicated works.

That is simply the best move for anyone who wants to not end up an addicted soul at the end of the day. The stuff the OP has painted is more like trying to recover loss and I have never seen anyone who has ever tried that who does not end up losing more while exposing themselves to a bigger risk.

Losing is the main part of the game and if people who try to do such things can only put that at the back of their mind, it would make things better for them. Every time anyone decides to keep pushing their luck too far, they always end up getting what they do not want.

A lot of people have been so used to this which to me is always as a result of greed or believing they will just get it right the next time, and once you allow that next time; you give in more room for one more time until you end up losing everything. The smart ones always know when to call it quit.

Yes, it is either you are gambler or you are not and what actually makes everyone different is just the aspect where you can control yourself and may tend such a person towards being a reasonable gambler.

A gambler becomes reasonable once they are able to understand that gambling is just a game and totally remove the idea of winning in your head which if you win at all, count it as a huge luck. But some people always end up in the unreasonable zone of gambling until they end up losing everything.

At the end of the day it all balls down to one single word which is 'CONTROL'. A lot of people allow themselves to get controlled by the impulses that comes with gambling and that is how they always end up screwing up everything with their life in a mess at the end of the day and until they are able to talk themselves out of it or speak sense into their own head themselves, then it would be hard having such control.

If anyone cannot admit the fact that they cannot get the goodies they are looking for in gambling, it would be easy for them to control themselves or not even gamble at all.

Instead of fear, I would rather say putting emotions into everything they do which is one attribute that a dumb trader without knowledge will always do, that I can definitely say. Once you have no strategy as a trader, you are a gambler, and you will easily pour in emotions into your trading whether you like it or not.

As long as you are good at what you do, you will easily be able to pull through in any trade without any issue or worrying about flopping or the odds not being in your favor. It is a profession and once you treat it as such, you will do great.

It is still very early to assume we have entered the bullish phase, but at the same time, the reaction of the market presently with all the bull flags forming is enough to actually give us a bullish sign.

The only reason why I am still having some little bit of sideways reaction to this is all because the market has behaved in funny ways in the past and one would just have to keep that side awake at the same time but I really hope the market is awake from that low slumber we have had for a while. Time to have some action.

TRX for me has always been a very good choice with some pretty good potentials and I expect a huge bull run on it.
I have also invested in some coins during the ICO like ADB, COSS, which I also believe would end up doing pretty good once the whole altcoin market starts pumping hugely. It is normal to always see the money spread across most alts during this time anyway, so I believe that if anyone is holding strong alts, it should always be fun at the end with respect to profit.

Absolutely a big process but it is not something we can just expect to happen all immediately as it may still take some time even if it does at all. Also, it depends on the problem we are actually trying to talk about here because when it comes to the problem that centralization has brought over the years, we already know the level at which bitcoin is solving that and the whole idea of decentralization.

Moreover, take a look at Zimbabwe which is more of a case study here and how the citizens have decided to switch to the use of bitcoin based on how destroyed their fiat system generally is.

One of the things they cannot run away from. Blockchain technology is the future and in as much as they are trying to see how to avoid that idea, they already know right from the beginning it is something they just have to deal with. It is good news and we hope to get to see more of this coming and with situations like this, I guess we have to believe that the era of blockchain has come to stay and I also believe that bitcoin is going to stay in the forefront of all things till the end.

Blockchain is nothing but a new effective way of database management hence no wonder banks start adopting it. But the patent thing is seeming somewhat wired to me as customizing blockchain technology suitable for banking sector and claiming patent is a  legal one or not, lets wait till the conclusion.

Apparently, it would not spell doom, but it is actually a start which would start making BCH to seem more exactly like what it is. It was never necessary, let's state one obvious fact and with all the manipulations, it was obvious Roger never had a good intention towards even getting the coin to make an impact bitcoin could not, as at the end of it all, it was just all more like a sham and scam.

BCH has nowhere to go, and even if we do not know the future, unless something else is brought on the table and not the whole thing going on with the manipulation to shoot it to the limelight, then BCH is as dead as any shitcoin to me. Being among the top 10 was just mere stunts.

A lot of people really do not understand that perspective and that is one reason they will never get it. Investing in Ethereum is good, but if we are looking at the long term here and most especially even with profit, bitcoin still stands a better chance due to its deflationary characteristics as against the inflationary characteristics of Ethereum.

Ethereum number can be increased in the long term and bitcoin is limited and that would always make the price of bitcoin to skyrocket easily with a huge demand and get sustained to some good extent. Ethereum lacks to innovate real time applications except providing platform for ICOs. Only one real time usage will not support a project to have huge prices in future.

Yeah, the volatility on its own is actually one of the things attracting most investors to this space anyway as we have to understand the fact that this is how they get to take advantage of it to increase their pocket and holding, so I really do not see it inhibiting investment but it is of course inhibiting it as usage for currency but since we still can make the use of the likes of bitpay, I do not see that to be a problem.

Some altcoins with real projects have still been doing fine even if the whole market responds to the movement of bitcoin in a way, but in a general scale for strong alts, I would not say bitcoin's volatility affects their growth.

You must be kidding lol. I usually do not care this kind of jokes. No one knows what the target for 2018 ending is going to be like, but $2000 is way too low for a market that is about to test another bear phase and I totally believe before the end of the year, we would have been done with the bear phase and enter the bull phase, but at the end none of us actually know how far we are going to go before the end of the year or if it would just be a year of consolidation.

No one will not go all in even they do know what is going to happen. Diversification and level of affording lose limits are the few factors, most investors/traders do consider. OP is just trying to FUD with his chart. Better not to listen such things.

Maybe you should stop deceiving yourself, no one knows what is going to happen in the next minute or in the next month and it does not make any sense trying to expect too much for the future as that is how a lot of people have gotten greedy in the past few years.

In normal sense, no one should expect anything serious this year and it is better for everyone to prepare their mind with regards to this. Not like I am not bullish long term on bitcoin but I just love me some pretty sane moment. Already bitcoin started to climb but it is too early to expect same level of movements as last year.

We first must have bitcoin prices to trade above $12k price levels to have confirmation of resuming bull run. But I am sure we are going to experience lots of surprises in this April month... hopefully all of them might be positive.

There is no need even thinking, I am sure he is just saying what he likes to believe he would love to see happen but that can only happen in his dreams apparently.

Bitcoin cannot just switch from the current price to $20k in a week, no matter how strong that bull run is unless of course a lot of things just changed globally with everyone trying to get a hold of the little bitcoin they can have and then causing the value to skyrocket, but in the real sense of normal movement, this is something we would not even see happen in 2 weeks from where we are now.

We are definitely all hoping for the best but nothing much should be expected. I do not know about any other person, but I really want us to have a year in which we can accumulate pretty well for the future because whether we like it or not, this market is here to stay, the future is very bright and we are definitely going to hit bigger than this.

But at the end, we need not be in a hurry too much and let the market just take its course. I believe getting greedy on its own, affects the market somehow. We need to support the market's positive movement by contributing the level we can. Because this is the right and most needed time to show our faithfulness.

Everyone is a player in trading, it is just how you play based on the strategy you have that differs. The thing that makes gambling totally different from trading is that even though you do not know the outcome in a trade, you can at least use some few things to make some good decisions in the market which if you are knowledgeable enough, most of the time, you are going to be making good calls without getting emotional at all.

Holding probably an easy way to prove ourselves as a good trader and more importantly when we are holding, the chances for gambling with price levels is also very less. Because holding is a passive way of trading whereas gambling requires active participation.

They already gave us something new unless you have not visited their site already. I have always been a fan of using APIs on a single platform anyway, so I am not really ready to start doing much analysis on their website. The first one had some annoying bugs though, but to me, I feel this one looks too much for what one would have expected. I expected them to at least come up with something that would be enticing to use compared to the one before but it seems they have lost more even on this one. Just my honest opinion!

Lack of knowledge I believe has always been the major issue of so many people who feel they can just trade the market and get good gains from the fluctuations without knowing how to play safe at all in the market.

In addition to the above, this is not a knowledge that someone can just expect to quickly gain all of a sudden and expect to start seeing the outcome as positive, one will still have to learn a lot from experience, make some little bit of mistakes, apply those knowledge and get better. However, it is just one path most newbies or those who want quick cash would not want to take.

Definitely not. Firstly, this is one complex market and what people like the OP are doing right now is to gamble and that is the reason why they always end up joining fomo once the price starts increasing because there is no way they do not always end up getting emotional.

The market is recovering and this is a very good and low price which no one absolutely know if it would go lower or not but one thing here is that the loss rate is not even going to be much if we tend to go lower, so buying now is a good bet. I am already started buying for some portion of my allocated capital. Will buy more if bitcoin prices show +/-$1000 from current prices.
