It can be luck only short term. Long term making profit with  trading means: making good decisions frequently.
That cannot be matter of luck, rather good strategy , discipline, patience, technical and analytical skills , experience etc.

To become a master trader the fundamental is a good research and market analysis.
Adoption to changing market conditions is very important for a trader. Discipline and
patience are  trademark for a successful trader. Losing traders rarely learn from their
mistakes while master traders do. All this comes with practice and experience.

We easily accept parabolic growth of the coins , but it is much tougher to accept when it is decreasing.
When investing, entry point is very important . It is very risky to invest in a coin which is on rise like Ripple
was ly. from $ 0.3  to $3.5 . When the price drop, now complaining...Lesson learnt :there is no gain without pain.

All of us who has EDT tokens in their wallets are investors I assume. They will make a snapshot and there will be
an Airdrop next week for EDT holders. ( they have to be holden in an ERC-20 wallet )

Thanks for Your answer. I understood that part. My question is if 17 mil. EKK tokens are dedicated for signature campaign, it means it has to participate 8.500/5 week -Junior Members or 5.666/5 week- Members or 4250 /5 week -Full Members, or 3400 / 5 week- Senior Members or 2833 / 5 week- Hero Members  or 2125 / 5 week- Legendary Members  or a mix of it.
It is a quite optimistic expectation in calculation.  What will happen with the remaining tokens if not such many participants taking part in bounty -will they be burned ?
Stakes insures that all the dedicated tokens will be spread amongst the participants. Here it is fixed and easy to calculate but the number of spread tokens depends
on the number of participants and how many weeks they take part in bounty... and it can happen that less than 10 % of the tokens will be used  out of 17 mil.

It is written that 100 million EKK is for Bounty and out of it 17 % is for signature campaign ( 17 million )
I would like to understand how can You calculate this if the reward is fixed and not based on  stakes ?

Think it is good decision to invest in Crypto as it is possible to achieve higher ROI with them than with stocs.
I believe in Crypto but only 30% of my savings is there, other 70 % in stocks, Fiat and other businesses.
It is risky to hold money on exchanges, it is better to hold the long term investment on a Ledger
Only the coins we trading with is recommended to leave on Exchanges.

Bounty is not a waste of time as You  spend quality time and being informed  on the forum while making bounty tasks.
As You are investing your time, knowledge , internet , PC  it cannot be called as passive income as You have to work hard
to be rewarded.

I follow the crypto influencers , collecting information from them, some insights , learning from them but not following
their trading advises. Trying to have my own view, strategy and trading technique and do not following anybody.
Only dead fish go with the flow. I have to admit that they are doing a good job ( the rare good ones ) and helping us
to make better decisions.

It is a good decision to make an aridrop  for holders of EDT. For sure all the scammed holders will support Ethernext.
I will for sure. Think that the time of the snapshot should be announced in advance as some of the holders holding them
on the exchange, I think they deserve to be informed.

Tough time in Crypto is an opportunity for new investors to jump into the Crypto  boat with some good entries.
Those who can afford can buy some coins on extra sale now. Who cannot afford investing has to be patient and
waiting for better times to come, hopefully soon.

Investing in Crypto is risky, as it can go to zero, so everybody is taking risk. Higher the knowledge ( understanding )
 about a project smaller the risk is. Investing without research and analysis is like gambling and hoping and praying
for good return . Trading is not about hopes and prays, it is much more than that.

Arbitrage opportunity is there for sure, and it is huge one for traders.
My concern with crypto arbitrage trading is the time of completion of a trade as prices can change meanwhile,
long deposit and withdrawal time at certain exchanges . Definitely will follow how it works out.

Losing only if You sell. My portfolio is also down and not much can do against it.
Trying to offset it by trading , mining and other activities and waiting for better times to come
and going green again. Not losing the faith in crytpto, patience will pay off for sure.

I have listened the interview and understand his point of view as a strong BTC supporter and maximal.
I  still think Alts. representing huge value as there are lots of them with unique value. And it is not about
making profit on alts. rather than their value they bring to our lives.
Only the future and market will tell who was right.
 

For me product is important but not has to be fully ready from investment point. Some demo is OK. as well.
Detailed WP and Roadmap is most important for me where I can see future development plans and how does it
look on timeline. Then looking the Team if they are capable to fulfil all the actions promised on time.

Number one reason NOT investing in ctypto is definitely its volatility.
Cryptocurrencies could drop to near- zero at any time. For me this is the biggest
threat investing in it. Even Vitalik Buterin warned investors that it can happen and " not to put
more money in it than You  can afford to lose".
Security is another problem but only for those who are not following some necessary steps that should be  followed.

Trying to make independent,  own decisions and not allowing media hypes to influence them.
 There is a saying : " only dead fish go with the flow " . For me best time to exit trading is when my
trading goals are achieved. Having own strategy and goals for each coin and when they are achieved -exiting.
It is not the most profitable way as there were some painful exits but try not complaining after it,
what could be if....

It depends what  You are looking for as every exchange has its pros and cons.  Amongst big exchanges I prefer Binance
for the reason of high volume, low fees and convenient mob. app.
As I am trading with many altcoins which are still not on big exchanges my favourite is IDEX ( decentralised ) because I can find almost all the
coins there  in very early stage of their development and getting some good prices, while they are not under the radar.
 

Passive and trading  - these two words are  contradictory in the same sentence,
as trading requires a lot of activities.  But If You  invest in some coins where there is possibility
for staking that can be a passive income. Or if You invest in coins with Masternode rewards it can be a passive income as well.
