Like ever in history ? Or for now ? Ichimoku can't show you what the price will be in 2030 or something, of course can't even in 2019 properly but I just wanted to give an exaggerated example. This means 3100 can't be achieved these days, probably won't go down that much, however if the price goes up a bit and than another whale who bought a lot during the sub 4000 levels could potentially sell all of their coins all at once (again) and create a bear run that will continue with the panic sellers doing their thing and we can be under 3100 once again.

Ichimoku is here for the short term possibilities, but when you put in extra unexpected things into play there is nothing that can keep bitcoin over 3100 (technically speaking). That being said, I still think bitcoin can go back to 6500 thousand dollar levels without a problem.

Jesus christ dude knew it will end with 3k when it was last year. It has been over a year now and he is spot on correct. I know there are a million people out there doing all kinds of estimates and eventually one of the has to be true but being spot on correct after a whole year is just insane. Do you know how many silly and insane things had to happen to get us here ?

I mean this dude didn't put the calculations of what bitcoin cash war could bring us and how craig could sell thousands of bitcoin all at the same tim dropping the price in half an hour and so forth, he just assumed the price can't sustain up there and had to drop. No matter what will happen from now on I still congratulate him on this guess, it is by far one of the best ones I have ever seen in my 6 years of crypto world.

Circle may not be as horrible as tether if you ask me. Tether was a standalone "company" that is working to get money as much as they can from you and sell their tether for dollars and when they get the dollars even if they really have one on one ratio of tether and dollars they can still make a ton of money from interest rates and investments if they are smart with it and that means even on a worse scenario 1% profit yearly from it.

However, Circle is not like that, circle is an app that is backed by wall street which means they have all the money in the world and even if you give them your money and they use it for investments like an insurance company it is still at safe hands because they are backed by wall street and you will get your money back from them one way or another. Circle has that "trust" aspect that tether will never have with their offshore banks.

Same here, if we really want to be realistic with the way the market is going, even if we are going to see any serious movement upward, there would only be some little possibility of seeing the market consolidating between $3000 and $5000 for a while before we start seeing any major increase in value.

Anything that would bring about any sharp increase in the price of bitcoin right now would rather end up being a fantastic news that could bring about some crazy level of adoption, but at the same time, we still have to realize that the institutions really want to enter the market, and they have a chance of letting this play out until they are all in.

Crypto hedgefunds are really useless when it comes to making a difference in the market at the scale regular hedgefunds could do.

Right now, we are looking at hedgefunds like JP Morgans and so forth and see that the crypto hedgefunds we know are quite tiny and unimportant in a market this big. We need to get these incredibly big companies to get their money into bitcoin and crypto together so we could see a real increase in both the volume and the number of transactions plus the price that will be affected by this.

Normally in order to make any difference in crypto world there needs to be billions of dollars changing hands in order to make a difference and right now these crypto hedgefunds do not provide that type of amount at all and them shutting down doesn't make a dent in the market as well.

Keep deceiving yourself and you will never be able to get anything but losses in the long run. No matter the big bank you want to think you have, there is something they call long streaks and you need to understand that when it comes to martingale, at every point in time, you are doubling your chances of losing the more, with just only a small win.

Put the odds together and you will realize it is a whole lot not in your favor at the end of the day which is why it is always easier to lose big while having the chance to win small. There is no strategy that can make you win big in gambling, and no matter the strategy the chances of losing is still always going to be higher than winning.

The chart is a bit misleading, the price didn't stayed under 200 or so dollars for a long time, yeah it didn't reached the 1200 dollar levels for a long time but it was still going up a bit compared to what it dropped. Look at what it was during the may 2014 times and January 2015 times and compare that to rest of the chart, it wasn't staying stable it was still gradually going up but instead of going high at once in half an hour it went up over couple of years.

I wouldn't mind bitcoin going up slowly over years, I can take 5 thousand as long as I know it will go up a thousand dollars on average every single year. Look at January 16 to January 17, the price went up a lot between those times too but the only difference is we are so used to it going up like that in a week that we are not phased by it going up like that over a whole year. Let's hope it goes up like that this year, I will be happy with that.

People who have no idea about bitcoin talk about bitcoin all the time. I remember fox news once talked about 4chan like it was some person's nickname, they literally aired a news about 4chan without actually looking up what 4chan is on national television in front of millions of viewers.

Many of whom did not know what 4chan was and they believed it was actually a person with a 4chan nickname, how could they not, they did not know it before and it was the first knowledge that was given to them.

Same happens to bitcoin all the time, one of my closest friends still keep saying bitcoin is a scam and a complex one but instead of someone stealing from you in this scam everyone steals from each other, well at least he understands the decentralized part, he just thinks its not a decentralized currency, its a decentralized scam which is funny and sometimes actually true but doesn't shed a single light on positives of using bitcoin.

Yeah, for most new investors at the moment who are looking into getting some pretty good coins or tokens to hold for the long term, I will say any reputable exchange with a lot of available tokens with potentials will be a good way to start and in this case, I will say Binance and bittrex for me are two good spots to start.

For what it is worth, we can at least tell that these two exchanges have been able to do well over time and most especially for binance, even in the short period of its existence, it pretty much seem like it has not even started yet, with many upcoming development to roll up its sleeves.

Of course it is something that is expected to happen even as much as a lot of people were shouting bull run or thereabout, and this is usually the time we get to see a lot of people end up capitulating and before you know it bailing out from the market and then coming back later on to say how they sold at the bottom and have now missed a new ATH.

We all have to understand the fact that the main reason why we see market act like this most of the time is to chase out the weak hands, because without that, the whales will basically have nothing to gain, so in a way, it is left for you to make that decision whether you want to be a weak hand or not.

There is no free pass to anything actually, it is either you learn to work for it, or you simply just hold. Most times a lot of people keep looking for a way to get passive income on their holding, but this means has put them into even more trouble than what they would have probably expected considering the fact that they keep looking for easy way out.

There is no easy way out, the only easy way out is to learn some few activities, such as trading, mining or using some skills as freelance to get something and some times, a lot of people do the lending thing as well, and asides all this, except you are trading, mining or rendering some service, anything that tells you some free stuff out there or some consistent percentage is never going to end well, and in that case, it is even much better to hold.

Sometimes its great for governments to regulate crypto and sometimes its not so well, I am not too sure which one this is. Yes this could turn Thailand into a good crypto haven type country but do we really want a royal house at the top on a crypto country, wouldn't we prefer a democracy with laws ?

I mean this dude comes up and says lets regulate crypto and get crypto companies here and whole country and law people make it happen, what keeps him from saying "alright lets take all of their crypto now" or whatever, there is no stopping force for the Thai royal house and I am not sure if it is a good idea for crypto in general. Maybe somewhere like france where lawyers are rooting for crypto to be regulated properly is much better for us. USA has been doing some tax work but really they are not that big on crypto neither.

I am sure one way or the other, we all had a time we heard about bitcoin and wish we could have at least pay some attention to it one way or the other. A lot of people are still like that presently, and I am sure a time will come when some people will even wish they joined in now. Financially, for most people that have been here for a while as early adopters, I can say it has been a fruitful journey and that includes me. The belief in the technology, the future and the potential, of course is already paying off and I believe there is a lot more to come.

We are in a world that is changing pretty fast and I believe a lot of people will always have something or a story to tell when they are really making it big eventually. Usually in life, you win sometimes even if it out of luck and you screw up sometimes, but in your screw ups, what matters the most is your ability to learn from them and pick up from where you failed previously.

Isn’t that what a lot of them are trying to do these days? They want to join the band wagon in scamming the space and creating their own token, but they actually have no single clue how to go about anything. Apparently, this has shown some set of people who have no team; no nothing they are doing, but are busy looking for easy and quick ways to make money. What makes up a team is to be able to share knowledge and ideas on how to go about certain things, and if that is not in place, how on earth will such a project even thrive.

Probably, he and his friends are just about to pollute the space with just another scam and reaching out to the community to give them a clue on how to pitch it out to the gullible investors. Any project that does not even have a team in place to be able to handle every single situation when it comes to developing, marketing and some other necessary areas they believe they will do well, then I do not see that as some set of people who really mean anything good at all except just some bunch of wannabe scammers who want to get rich out of nothing.

Yes, attracting investors is one thing and when you want to do that, you surely want to do it in a way where the first impression will matter. Most times I believe that a team that cannot put together a good website and everything looks extremely shabby will obviously not be able to put together a good product and that is even if they want to put together anything at all in the first place.

When it comes to marketing and pitching your product to the investors, you really want the first impression to make some sense, as this is what would drive them further to want to even do due diligence on the project first to at least see what is in it for them in the long term.

Probably, they may only end up getting to be able to do that temporarily but we all know ripple is not a coin we should count on its sustainability when it comes to value anyway, and considering that it is a centralized coin, no matter how they try to hype it or make it look relevant, that would not change that fact that some people behind the scenes are just controlling the price to however they deem it fit and at the end of the day, how long they want to keep doing that is one thing I am actually waiting to see.

Not the first time ripple will skyrocket and people will FOMO and get ripped eventually.

I see it as a companian to bitcoin. The thing is people love bitcoin but companies love ethereum, and as long as ethereum blockchain has the support of companies it is not going anywhere.

If vitalik manages to keep ethereum at a level where corporations are flocking to it than eth will have a bright future, however if it stays like this for a long time than I think it will lose interest slowly while companies start to find something new.

It all depends on what ethereum does from now on, if they keep on doing stuff big corporations love than they will keep on being the second coin, if they stop doing that and just say "its enough" than we may see it going down slowly. The only reason ripple is even challenging ethereum right now is even in bear market ripple is trying to deal with companies while ethereum is not.

Apart from the big risk when it comes to investing, a lot of the investors are now beginning to get smart and now know what they should be doing before investing in any project at all.

Of course, this is something we have to understand that there is no way you can get the best in anything if you do not have the knowledge to deal with that environment, which I believe in this case, a lot of people over time have learned from their mistakes and have made it a priority to always dig deeper before investing in any project, so a project these days without a good qualified team and most especially MVP with potential, is only going to end up failing.

The instant exchange will be offchain though, so it won't be as instant as decentralized exchanges or it won't be as quick as the regular transactions when you count withdrawing. Yes you will be capable of changing from one coin to another on their platform but that already exists in all exchanges right now, there is absolutely no new thing coming from them aside from keeping track on the blockchain part.

I definitely see it as an improvement of course since its better to build something than not doing anything but will it be enough to make it go to moon? I do not think so. However their sys masternode is really good and I have heard only good things about it from my friends who own it, if they want to get any higher they should focus on their masternode profits instead of new stuff because their masternodes are loved by people.

Knowledge, strategy, practice are the things that will guide you into gaining confidence when it comes to trading and emotion is the last thing a trader want to put into their trading. The major reason why so many people tend to get emotional is because they either rushed to start making money from trading with little or no knowledge, no strategy, and no experience, and then when the reality kicked in, things started going awry.

There is no way anyone will not get emotional when you realize you are losing, market is not going the way you want, just because you actually do not have a plan. Just like in real life, it applies to trading too, because if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail.
