Just as simple as ABC. The whales control everything, they have upper hands in the market, and they decide the trend they want to switch cryptocurrency to and they know what to do at every point in time to their own benefit and we are just there like small fishes trying to catch up while they do their thing.

So far, I really do not foresee any bull run in April, and if we are lucky, we will only end up consolidating for a while which would give us the chance to accumulate.

It is a good thing to have it all planned. I have invested in some ICOs this year though and also got some from bounty and I am sure trying to see how everything is going to end up playing out before the end of the year, which I believe is going to be a great one to look forward to. So far, I believe we are just starting this year and there is so much coming that we would all see, and that is my main target.

Compared to few jr.member's eth addy which I do check in my free times, your only 3 altcoins are very less in number. Just participate different bounty programs and gather as much as possible so that your plans will be realized as early as possible.

Every smart investor that knows what he or she is doing will always keep their head cool whichever way. I bought some coins a little bit in red when the market was giving sign of some recovery, then it got beaten down and I decided to buy more now to add up. I have always been a long term investor buying at dips and waiting for the long term, and as long as I keep buying into people's fear, I always end up getting the profit hugely as time goes on.

The most important thing honestly is never to panic, and for someone like me, the only time I panic is when the market is in a bull run for nothing, then I may just start dropping, or when the market just keeps going down for nothing, then I just start accumulating.

Well, it is not all about picking coins unless he looking at the long term pattern of trading. If what he is looking forward to is to be able to do some short term trading, then I will advise he should learn and try as much as possible to use the knowledge to trade on any of those coins which he would still need to be very careful based on the level of volatility in the market.

All the above, buying and holding some of the coins now for the long term profit can actually get that $100 up in no time without stress coupled with the way the market has been for a while now.

Maybe some of them are forgetting this is a market and for the fact that even BCH was affected in this case, so trying to use the present value to judge the state of bitcoin's future is just terribly absurd as far as I am concerned.

Even though the crypto space is manipulated by whales, BCH is a highly manipulated coin, and I would rather be very careful holding this as far as I am concerned let alone, thinking it would not have any edge over bitcoin. I got few BCH at that time of fork and I am still holding them. Honestly I do not prefer buying any new coin at that same time I like to hold for big boom.

Mixed trend keeps persisting but not sure when these kind of range bound will be broken. In the past, if you go for analyze, you can easily find range bounds are usually getting broken in the upper side and withing a month itself. So, we can be positive as of now.

It may recover, it may consolidate, it may even start a bull run, but all these fall under probability and anything can happen at any time. It is one thing to be imagining what the future holds when we are still battling with the present and if we are to look at now, apparently, there is no much story to tell except for the fact that the bears are still in charge. So, for me, I would just keep my head straight, believe in the future and forget about the predictions in upcoming months.

It has been a crazy attitude that most people, especially newbies have imbibed. Ask most people now today, they have seen bitcoin more of an asset than a currency and this is the reason why it has become so speculative that so many FOMOs just always want to get greedy most of the time.

I also see a lot of people coming up with the replaced by theory and forgetting so soon, that those coins they are trying to compare bitcoin with have not been used on a large scale yet and even when Ethereum did with cryptokitten, we all ended up seeing the real picture. We really need to accept the real value lurked in bitcoin not just as a speculative asset and that would make more sense.

Yes. In a way, the fact that cryptocurrency brings a level of freedom and as you said, with human beings governing themselves, make the whole idea even more encouraging and interesting. Now, it is more like the shackles have finally been broken and all those who have been ensnared by the government as a result of inflation, mortgages and loans etc can now have a life where they can decide to control how things work for them.

Well, protecting the interest of investors can only be done by trying to regulate the already decentralized environment which balls down to some control on the activities. However, with the way things are going, countries are already beginning to see the positive effect that lies generally with blockchain technology and even regulating the present space. It is one thing they cannot overlook anyway and it is expected.

The only way to win in gambling is only if your luck surpasses those of the others gambling as well. There is no other way unless maybe you are just a smart poker player which sometimes too it depends on luck and those you are playing with. People tend to look for ways they can end up making a lot from gambling and forgetting that there is absolutely nothing guaranteed.

Not about choosing games and no matter the game you end up choosing, it would still not change anything anyway. If you are not lucky, you will still end up losing. I know some games may require some certain skills, but rather than being too dependent on that, it is always better to know that you have a higher chance of losing, so as to get your mind prepared for it beforehand.

Normally, there is just a stage you get in life that maturity just kicks in even though does not apply to everyone as some would not even know what they really want in life anyway which is what makes them to act the way they do sometimes.

Nevertheless, from my own personal view, I have always believed that becoming a parent would somehow change you and even if you used to gamble recklessly before, you will have to start considering your life pattern for the sake of your kids.

Got one humble clarification...

Will you consider the applicants who are wearing other camp's sig/avatar and will be ready to wear yours on selection.
(Some managers never consider such applicants, that is the reason I am asking) Thanks for your time.

Reason why we do have problems all the time is because we make expense that are more than the income we make in a month. First thing I will tell you to do is use a monthly budget to plan your expenses. After that, calculate the debts you’re owing, know how much you’re making in a month, and decide on which one you will have to pay off first. Create a monthly bill calendar and try to pay your debts on time every month. That’s the only way you can do it.

What you shouldn’t do– some people will advise you to borrow loan from banks. Never do such, doing it means putting yourself into more problems that you won’t be able to come out from.

This is an old stuff, I have read a hundred times and sick of reading it over and over again. Every author just keeps saying whatever nonsense it is that comes to their mind just to gain whatever it is they plan for. Yes we know that Bitcoin is volatile because of people invest a lot of money and withdraws when they have made huge profits. Well, it’s a normal thing in this business and can also be found in most business out there.

Bitcoin is volatile, and being volatile is what helps most of us make profit. Those who are quick and smart will always invest at the right and also withdraw when it’s right to avoid losing their money. There are always people manipulating the price. It’s left for you to play the game smart, if you can.

You’re confusing some people, according to your headline the question was if the bank will gladly support Bitcoin, now you’re asking why many exchanges does not support wire transfer (if not all).

Well, when it comes to bank supporting cryptocurrency, I don’t really know if that is possible in anyway cause they both have difference. Bitcoin is just an asset and it’s not something that is being held in bank, you can only get it from the right source – Blockchain. So bank can’t support Bitcoin, but they can support exchangers that are into Bitcoin, cause every money you use to buy Bitcoin is being sent to the exchangers bank account.

For the next question on why most exchanges does not accept wire transfers, well, why would they accept wire transfer anyway? This is a business that has to do with online and you will have to do withdraw to the right source first, which is your wallet, before talking about taking it to banks.

The problem is that people are always in haste and rather than taking their time to wait for the best time to reap the benefit, some always end up panicking unnecessarily and even some time selling after a huge loss. As long as you are waiting patiently, you have lost nothing, you only end up losing when you end up selling wrongly and the market eventually picks up only to start buying at the top.

If the dip is frightening for those who are down by 25% or something related to that, how about those who bought at the top and still holding? The market will recover, it may take some time, but all that is required is patience as there is nothing anyone can do right now than to be hopeful and wait for it. It always come back stronger and better anyway, so I do not see any reason why anyone should be worried.

While some are even asking what is happening to the market, they should be buying now when the market is terribly low. I always do one thing since I have been in this space, which is to sell when the value is too good to be true, and also buy when the market is too good to be true depending on how you see it. Right now, the market is too good to be true with a very annoyingly low price and this is the time I always accumulate for the future.

But the good news must be, a very good buying opportunity after downfall of eth prices. If you believe into the futures of eth, you may go for buying for some big amount of your capital. Almost all cryptos has fallen hence it was just a trend, no need to get panic.

That is the reason why that is going to be a huge resistance and anything that would make us to break that resistance this year, then that is going to be a good news. There is going to be a huge sell off at that region, so we should believe that unless there is a mass adoption or the news changes highly to positive, then we may assume breaking it should be possible but we have to just wait and see how things turn out.

At this stage, I am sure anyone who is smart would not bother about now, but would only take advantage of the dip to make up for the loss that was accrued from buying at the top. It is the way life is and rather than complaining, at least just finds something from it that you can utilize for your own gain. I know how crazy it is as I have been there but it is the long run that matters anyway.

We cannot force people to believe what they do not want to believe, can we ?
The fact here is that everyone is trying to play safe with the high level of volatility in the market and it would take someone who really understands the main value (future usage) of bitcoin or cryptocurrency at large.

Not everyone does, and what most people are looking for is the quick profit. So far, we really do not have any real life usage much but I believe we are going to get there one day.

You have concluded rightly already anyway and it seems a lot of us have been in the picture already trying to hold even in this so called huge correction. You have raised a valid point, but obviously not all of us can just sell at once and the market at some point will always get greedy which is why I always prefer a steady growth than a speculative greedy growth but for someone who can trade this change of trend, then it is always the best.

When you are lacking in knowledge on where to buy or sell then straight holding is the only way you can manage making profits from trading. You must remember one fact : holding is also a kind of trading but takes more time still produces equivalent profits.

I remember holding through 2016/2017 and a lot of negative news going around as to how the cryptocurrency world is dead, that those who are holding are just consoling themselves and all that.

Yes, those who panic are always the ones to end up losing out by selling even when they are losing, but those who realized the main reason why they are here usually do not bother, and then I am sure for some of my portfolios that I have been holding till date since that time, anyone who has been in the system for a while or understands the prices of most of these top coins back then would know what most of them are worth now.
