I still insist that trading should not be really the main purpose of using bitcoin but unfortunately I am talking against a multi-million dollar sector that is run by billion dollar valuation companies so there is really no way I will ever be heard. When you buy and sell bitcoin all that quickly you are using it the wrong way and you are actually hurting yourself as well.

Bitcoin should have been earned/spent instead of bought/sold and that would even increase the price of bitcoin as well and make the traders money but unfortunately it became something for financial corporations to make more profits from the smaller investors and result with poor/middle class people to lose even more money to them. Really a big shame considering it was created just for the opposite reasons.

I don't think it is a bad thing that wave didn't moved up or down too much. It has a good amount of liquidity versus its volume and it is still used to this day for the purposes it was created, so I do not think it is actually that bad to trust waves and put your money on it.

Some coins are created because it has technological improvements, some coins created because owners wants free money, and some coins just like waves created because it can be used for something and that is why waves is not going up or  down too much, there are people who like it and they have it and community basically changes their waves between themselves. It is a "decent" one that nobody loves too much to rank it top 10 but not horrible to think it is a shitcoin.

It is not just ethereum that is volatile these days, everything is super volatile. Ethereum started the year under 200 dollars, peaked around 260 as far as I can remember and then it dropped to 220ish dollars nowadays. Now don't get me wrong that is still super awesome because price was literally 130! dollars and that kind of means we peaked at x2 the increase at one point and dropped to 220 dollars which is still super high.

Of course bitcoin going up played a big role in this but eth not going down meanwhile and still holding its power was a big part as well. The whole market moved and volatile, so I think ethereum moving is not a big deal but the amount we increased this year is unbelievable.

Anything may happen. Most of the altcoins are finding themselves bullish only when bitcoin prices are stable. Yes, when bitcoin market is bullish or bearish, altcoin market enter into bearish mode ONLY. I guess no one might be having any proper explanation for this. But this is how altcoin markets are working. We need to trade altcoins based on how bitcoin market is doing otherwise we will get trapped by unexpected losses.

I remember before 2017, both bitcoin and altcoins markets are rising up and falling down simultaneously and at those times, dominance of bitcoin market was more than 80% but now we are having comparatively more altcoin market dominance in this crypto space. This could be one of the reason why we are unable to predict how altcoin market will be reacting against bitcoin market fluctuations.

Right now I think the price is just circling at a low price because it’s waiting for the halving to take place. The price might remain at low and after the halving it will take off and reach a high price. I don’t know if there is going to be another all time high price, but I do know that there is going to be a bull run after the halving, and judging from the way the price has moved in the price I’m thinking that it will reach another all time high price.

The first halving made the price to reach a high price and after that we reached the second halving and the price is also reached another high price. So what if the same thing is going to be repeating itself this time around? And since there are lots of speculation about it, most investors especially the bulls will be getting ready to start pushing in a lot of money into the market once the time comes.

Yeah, they have that amazing marketing that make you question everything about your research and that is their power. You can be the greatest investor of all time in crypto space and you could basically do all the research and data and read whitepaper and basically do everything you need to do and even consider the coin or token not a good one but sometimes they do marketing so so so well that you fell victim to them.

Those bounties and hard work sometimes makes a low life bad coin or token very loved by many people even if they are horrible ones. So it is a fight between your brain and your heart to stop your heart by your brain but ignore your brain by your heart.

I agree if there will be one good performing altcoin, the most other coins will be following it by attracting different level of investors around the globe. I do believe no one will be investing their all 100% into bitcoin kind of highly reputed coin because they must be following the diversification principle. So, they must need some other altcoins too.

Before Ethereum, litcoins was the leader for altcoin markets, and based on the performance of litcoins, altcoins markets got chances to bounce back time to time. All these are pushing us to think about having some new innovative coin so that the entire altcoin market will be bouncing back. That kind of new innovative coin may be hitting this market at any time but we have no other option other than waiting for that.

Now, I am a bullish person when it comes down to bitcoin prices and I do understand people who are calling for a bear run and all that but I have to say one thing to them. If you think bitcoin going down before or during the halving historically and the price will go down, is that also equal to bitcoin going down after months later as well?

I mean if you think historical stuff will repeat itself, bitcoin drops in price couple weeks before and it will also continue like that for a while yet after couple of months it starts to go up and in a year it will peak to a new all time high, if you think historical data is correct and will repeat itself you either believe bitcoin will go up as well as going down or you believe none of that, there is no way to think one will happen and other won't.

The point of "bitcoin could be 100 dollars or 100k dollars" is not that it is realistic, the point is that it is "technically possible". Just to give an example it is not technically possible for gold to be 100 dollars anytime soon, it can't ever happen because there is too many buyers of it and too little that exists which stops it from being 100 dollars, maybe it can be 100k one day.

Or maybe stocks, if a stock is 10k like bitcoin, it would bankrupt before it goes to 100 dollars, the company will go down and they will close the whole corporation before they would say the stock is 100 dollars. That is why it is important for everyone to know that bitcoin can "technically" become 100 or 100k, sure it is unrealistic but it could happen.

I was keenly watching during the times of 2016 halving and I observed in no way market reacted to halving. I do call that market was stable at the times of halving rather than it was bullish still I agree that market was not under the control of bears as after the then ATH at 2013, market was in bear's control fully on 201 and on January 2015 it hit the lowest of $180 and then started to be stable and bullish/bearish in 2015 completely.

Hence, during the 2016 market was under the control of bears at the same time bulls were also not too active. End of 2016 failed to have new ATH but beginning of 2017 showed us new ATH only after the new ATH bulls entered into full action. Similarly, we may expect bears to lose control around the times of upcoming halving and by end of this year, bulls may get all the required power to get us new ATH.

Yeah, affiliate work is not something you can just get some and stop. I have good many affiliates now but I have just few active ones yet that is enough for me to see it as a "business" and continue spending money I make from here to keep getting more and more users. Back in the day when I first did it, I got like 100 people signed but maybe 3 or 4 of them stayed after a month, now it is even less, maybe 1 or 2 stays.

However that doesn't mean I will stop, it is still profitable and if you look at how much you can make constantly when there is an influx of people coming in that is still good. I now have over 10 people who does something all the time even if they give a break sometimes and I want to aim at 100 people play here on-off (can't play 7/24, I understand they need to give breaks) and maybe stop there

Yeah, the more competitions happens, the more wagering there will be, the more wagering there will be the more losses from the gamblers and in the end there will be more money coming to dividends and shareholders will make money. I personally left earnbet for a while now because I have been arguing how they are doing whatever they want to do and that is not decentralized or anything, yet now that I see leaderboard thing and they are FINALLY doing something to get more people to play here because for the past 1+ year they have been just saying "come play here and you get dividends" and did literally NO other marketing, this time it looked like they are at least doing something.

Yes, there are 1000s of altcoins available in this crypto space and most of them are having economy rules similar to how bitcoin is doing. Hence, we can expect halving to keep on happening around this crypto space all the times. But my concern is, what will be the economic change all other cryptos and their halving will be bringing to this entire crypto space. None of them. Yes, only bitcoin will be capable of doing that and all others will be simply following what bitcoin is setting regardless of when their halving is happening/scheduled.

Still, BCH and BSV's halving may bring new changes to their value levels. Because, these coins are backed by few whales who may pump o dumb to anywhere they want to see. Anyway, I doubt about their impact on trend setting in crypto market directions; probably their halving may impact within their ecosystem.

Best one known is honestly stop loss. At least with stop loss you can make your investments with some sort of guarantee that you will not lose too much. Of course you should invest into things with a lot more research and never put money you can't afford to lose into bitcoin or crypto in general however if you do all of that and you are still not sure about what will happen, the last line of defense should be stop loss.

With all the information you have and investing into stuff you are aware yourself that would mean that you could probably make money and even if you lose money you can wait until the tide turns since you can afford it or otherwise you would at least have stop loss, so it is the best one known right now.

Look, I am one of the people who think TA is a bullshit as well and I do not agree with them most of the time but telling that they are garbage is also not a thing neither as well. The thing is, there are THOUSANDS of people who are trading without any data at all and they are simply just trusting their instincts and so forth and I still think that emotions should not possess a place in trading.

So, the people who do chart reading are basically just simply doing one more step than all other people, it still doesn't guarantee you a profit but when you compare just emotions versus charts, at least charts are better option because you know what you are looking for in charts instead of just making stuff up. Like I said none guarantees profit but at least it exists.

If we have to pick one of these, I would say gambling is a lot more fun than the other options. I don't know about binary too much so I can't really say what it is or why I wouldn't pick it, simply I just don't know that one. Between trading and gambling tho is the fact that I am not good at trading neither, I am not capable of doing any decent trading personally so it is basically like gambling for me as well.

However, when I am gambling I do not gamble dice too much and I prefer to gamble with sportsbooks which allows me to at least study and know what I am betting on which allows me to profit a lot more. Otherwise there is really no other difference between trading and gambling if you don't know what you are doing.

Why you have been seeing such a news is because of the halving that will be taking place on May. And moreover if you check the price has been quite bullish, though the main bull run has not started. I don’t know what you are expecting when bull is mentioned, if you think that the price will keep going up every minute then you’re very wrong because that’s not how it works.

Bull run takes place randomly and when it happens the price will go up to a certain point and when it reaches that point it will stop and stay at that point for quite some time with a little fluctuation. That’s how it works, but there will be more of increase than the decrease there is in the market.

I guess the ability and the reality doesn't have to be the same. Don't get me wrong I think bitcoin will be over 15k by the end of this year as well however I am nobody so what I think doesn't really matter since I am not an expert or veteran or famous, yet I know the capability of bitcoin to go up and with halving done in May there will be enough time to recover from that and go a lot higher by the end of the year almost 6 or 7 full months and that is seriously enough time for bitcoin to go up in price like crazy.

Now it can, but will it? We may not know, we are talking about how bitcoin CAN be 15k but we are forgetting bitcoin CAN be 5k as well, it has a capability of going to 15k as much as 5k too.

Media is a double edge sword, you may not want to watch regular mainstream media on television to get your information which you are definitely right because they are doing whatever type of news their owners want and that's it, they are not doing anything that is real or truth because that usually doesn't work out for the news neither so they are basically just focusing on the lies that would help them.

However, do not forget that there is no central organization that checks the facts of youtube channels neither so they can very well make fake videos and fake facts and make you believe in something that doesn't exist as well. Not saying the video you watched is like that but there is always that risk and you should always be careful.

It doesn't need to do anything but if we catch the halving on a bull that could potentially create some sort of wiggle affect that bitcoin may continue to go up thanks to it as well. I know that sounds unlikely to some people but when bitcoin starts to go up in price and something that will make it go up happens while it is going up usually 99% of the time the going up process goes for longer and longer and the price breaks a new yearly high. That is exactly what happened last year with the price going up but right after having the Libra talks helped it keep going up instead of stopping after a while.

So, the price doesn't have to do anything, it could even go down after the halving or before the halving but if it does end up going up (which I believe it will) we will see a longer bull all the way into the summer as well.
