Hello guys,

I've been studying technical analysis for over than 10 months right now. I know that it takes years to learn everything, but I feel like that having someone who can monitor your trades and tell you what's wrong or what's right would be much easier to catch up with everything.

How much do you think its important/good to have someone with who you can share your thoughts about the trading/market situation or who can tell you the "secrets" which you cannot see on youtube tutorials or any other books.

Some people claim that Bitcoin will revolutionise the world of centralised systems and on the other side some people think that bitcoin is related to criminal activities. But what is it really about Bitcoin that has led all of us to pay attention to it? For decades we have been fighting for the alleviation of poverty but with the current financial system in order, it is a dream to make everyone feel inclusive especially the ones who have been ignored by the  current banking system for a long time. It's time to let the people know that they have this revolutionary technology in their hands that could end their search for “how to alleviate poverty”?
Bitcoin has the potential to do that. Poverty is mainly caused by these three phenomenons:
Hyper Inflation
Corruption
Financial Exclusion

-Hyper Inflation
Inflation occurs when fiat notes are floated in the market but are not backed up by value. Hence hyper inflation is when the prices increase to an uncontrollable level. Bitcoin are limited in number. When the amount of currency being floated in the market remains limited, there are least chances of inflation and almost none for hyperinflation.

-Corruption
Corruption occurs when a system lacks transparency and efficiency. Bitcoin uses a decentralized peer-to-peer transaction system where every transaction is recorded in the system and no transaction can be made without being verified by the mediator (miners). Blockchain consists of an ongoing chain of blocks that act as ledgers for every transaction. These blocks are there for ever. The records can never be deleted or tempered. This process ensures transparency and enhances reliability.

-Financial Exclusion
Financial institutes, specifically banks,  at present provide a lot of useful services but with high interest rates. These services then become meaningless or unattainable for the middle class people and impossible to avail for the poorer. Hence the poor are never able to attain any of the banking or financial services due to high rates of interest. Bitcoin has a solution to this as well. Bitcoin do not require you to pay any high interests or transaction fees to avail financial services. You simply join in and have a software wallet (or any other as there a number of different wallets to keep your money). You just need to pay a very little fee on transactions otherwise no charges. Hence poor people are not excluded from the system.

The best part of bitcoin is that it doesn't stop anyone from utilizing it,  like internet or a radio. It has no limitations to its implementation.

I am a newbie of trading so i don't have proper knowledge about trading. But honestly i want to be a trader. But first time which trading is best for me daily or long term?
Thanks in advance.     

Huge amounts of money have yet to come in. I'm talking about pension funds, teacher retirement funds and large index funds. They're not in the realm of cryptography right now, but they're just around the corner. There are two reasons. First, there is a lack of hosting services to help them provide/buy/store passwords. Second, it's too unstable for them. That has turned most of the big money going into crypto into technology-focused venture funds and some family offices.

This looks extremely exciting - https://bitcoinchallenge.codes/

Have you attempted to find anything on it yet?

stupidity is so close to poverty, do you agree with such a phrase?
if it yes, means the poor are the fools.
I want to know your opinion. 

The Financial Service Agency FSA (the top financial regulatory agency) in Japn has revealed plans by Yahoo Japan to launch a crypto-currency exchange platform within Japan and extended to other parts of the world. Currently, FSA has received at least 160 applications from different companies to launch their own exchange. It will be noted that Bitbox, (launched by Line Corp) had its license approved by FSA and they are currently operational overseas.
 Yahoo, unlike facebook and Gmail seem to be less critical about crypto-currency, Yahoo Finance is already reporting several crypto projects in development, their interest in launching a crypto exchange will certainly be a welcome development and could drive crypto adoption as it shows cryptos in a better light.
What is your opinion on this? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Today Bitcoin is about 6550 dollar and I think it will be 10 thousand dollar next year.

I read the local news, and there is several articles that made me interesting, a few weeks ago, the mobile version of the Bitcoin wallet bitcoin platform decided to eliminate the conversion of bitcoin currencies with USD. then replaced with Satoshi.

the decision was taken to eliminate dependence on fiat currency. because bitcoin capability if converted to fiat, will interfere.

developer samourai wallet says "farewall fiat" or "goodbye fiat".

Hello,
I heard that there is a whale that moved 8k BTC to an exchange and that what caused the price to go down in addition of Stop-Losses being triggered.Is that true?What do you think? If it's true I consider it to be a big problem as we clearly see that whales manipulate the market easily which is harmful.

Forbes recently released a list of the world’s richest individuals in terms of cryptocurrency. There are currently 19 people in the world who own an equivalent of more than $350 million in crypto assets. The top owners of cryptocurrency in the world amassed their wealth in a variety of ways, but most are founders of large cryptocurrency projects and cryptocurrency exchange platforms. Others are either individual investors or part of investment groups and some have established very profitable cryptocurrency mining operations. The one thing that the richest in crypto have in common is that they are all the types to “HODL” (hold on for dear life), meaning that they hold on to their cryptocurrency through any downturns in the market and aren’t quick to make crypto-to-crypto or crypto-to-fiat trades.

The start-up Sirin and the electronics giant Foxconn are planning a smartphone with a built-in digital wallet. This should be much easier - but the mobile phone will not be cheap.


Virtual money like Bitcoin and the smartphone - this is not a real love, on the contrary. Recently, there have been increasing warnings that cybercriminals are not only attacking PCs to illegally dig cryptocurrencies, but also mobile phones. Now a start-up and a large contract manufacturer want to make it clear to the consumer that the combination of Bitcoin and smartphone can also have their good and safe sides.


The Swiss-Israel company Sirin Labs and the Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn, which among other things manufactures iPhones for Apple, are planning the first smartphone with blockchain technology. So with the technology that forms the basis of all virtual currencies. Thus, the crypto will finally mass market suitable, says Sirin founder and co-CEO Moshe Hogeg. The device, jointly developed by Sirin and Foxconn called Finney is said to facilitate transactions with digital money and provide protection against hacker attacks.

Use physical switches to access the wallet
The two companies are counting on the fact that there are currently millions of Bitcoin owners, but only a few use Bitcoin for day-to-day business. The complicated technology makes this unattractive. To prevent theft, Bitcoin payers must keep their assets on special memory sticks until needed. Then remember to remember complicated usernames and passwords that can be many characters long. An uncomfortable thing that gets in the way of a really big spread. "No chance my mother will find out how to use Bitcoin. And my mother is smart, "says Sirin boss Hogeg.

MORE ON THE SUBJECT
With a smartphone that basically everyone can carry in their pocket, everything should be much easier. With the Blockchain mobile phone, for example, users should be able to shop on crypto-friendly websites. This promises a high level of security. Finney devices - under this brand, smartphones and PCs are planned - are the first to rely on the applicable as uncrackable Blockchain Technik. They run under the widespread mobile operating system Android, in conjunction with special cybersecurity technologies. With the help of its own physical switch, the owners should be able to cut off online access to the built-in digital purse ("wallet") and thus hinder hacker attacks. This so-called "cold wallet" is considered safer than a "hot wallet" that can be accessed anytime via the internet.

Competitors are also involved
Sirin has already raised hundreds of millions of dollars in project development from investors:  158 million USD in December, and another 70 million USD recently. The Bitcoin smartphone is expected to hit the market in October 2018. First, it wants to market it through its own stores, later on via telecommunications companies. The device is not cheap. Initially,  999 USD are targeted; Later, license agreements with other cell phone producers should push this price down to 200 USD. Among other things, Sirin is in talks with Huawei.

Meanwhile, others have discovered the charm of a blockchain phone - competitors like Zippie and Bitvault. Nevertheless, analysts rate the prospects of success quite ambiguous. On the one hand, the use of Bitcoin is still very limited, on the other hand, there is a danger of constantly carrying its virtual money with it. Criminals could kidnap Finney owners and forcibly gain access to the virtual wallets, so the fear.

Do you ever feel annoyed about your investment, especially when you participated in a ICO PROJECT and when the tokensale concludes and you got your tokens, and when the exchange comes you sell all your tokens and later you are crying about a big jump on the price?

Well, that's me, I have made a bad call every time I get hyped on a current price of the coin. Lesson? Better be patient on your investment and wait for a perfect time to make a certain call that you can never blame yourself.

Please share your opinions if you also suffer the same experience with me.
THANK YOU!

It's largely considered to be almost a necessity to pay for some kind of education if you are planning on becoming a stock trader. 
How many people have paid for some kind of trading education, either focusing in stock trading or in crypto trading.
Do you think it's helped you?
What was your experience through trading education either paid or unpaid?

They have a secure exchange, low (comparably) fees, a well working and efficient exchange and little difficulties with load issues. A lot of people transitioned towards the end of 2017 when the bigger exchanges of that time such as bittrex were having lots of difficulties handling the increased load so there was a lot of down time and bugs etc.

I was introducing cryptocurency to one of my friend and after so many explanation, he asked me the difference between the two currencies, so below was my answer to him

These forms of currencies are inherently similar. However, their similarity devolves into distinct features when they are examined more critically. Here are some of the major differences between digital currency and cryptocurrency.

1. Decentralization vs. centralization:

Banking system, a majority of digital currencies are regulated by regulatory bodies like the Federal Reserve or other designated government parastatals. This means that transactions are constantly monitored, and their value determined by these regulatory bodies.

On the other hand, cryptocurrencies are fully decentralized. This means that no institution is set aside to regulate them. The rules are set by its community. As a result, the viability of a cryptocurrency is highly dependent on the strength its community can garner.

2. Privacy:

Privacy in this sense refers to the ability to conceal the information of the account owner.

With digital currencies, this is practically impossible. To open a digital account, you need to upload your photo and fill in your personal details, to make use of services like PayPal, you have to fill in your information like name and address. Hence, you can easily be tracked.

On the other hand, you don’t necessarily need to disclose any of your personal information when opening a wallet for cryptocurrency trading. In fact, coins like Dash are available to provide full anonymity, and this is one of the reasons why cryptocurrencies were widely used on the dark web.

3. Transparency:

The framework of digital currencies only allows approved entities to get access to the transaction information. Information regarding transactions of which you’re not directly connected is withheld from you.

On the other hand, cryptocurrency transactions are made available to the public domain. Even though the people behind the transactions are unknown, this way, you can personally monitor how much money is in the system.

4. Legal framework:

Most digital currencies are backed by a recognized central authority. Having legal support from government and financial institution establishes their general usage and acceptance.

On the other hand, cryptocurrencies aren’t backed by any form of a recognized body. As a consequence, they’re not yet fully recognized as a legal tender worldwide.

5. Dominance:

Due to their recognized backing, digital currencies are accepted all over the world. Carrying out transactions with digital currency isn’t restricted by geographic borders, race or even belief systems.

Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, are loners. They are only accepted by a small group of institutions and compared to other centralized digital coins, their popularity doesn’t measure. Although analysts pose that this will soon change and government regulations will be more favorable towards cryptocurrency.

6. Transaction interference:

Since transactions are monitored by central authorities when using digital currency, they can easily flag transactions suspected to be suspicious or even freeze an account temporarily on the request of the owner. This makes transaction reversible.

On the other hand, once a transaction is completed with cryptocurrency, it is automatically added to the Blockchain and is forever irreversible.

7. Value fluctuation:

For digital currencies, its value is determined and regulated by financial institutions. This makes the currency relatively stable.

Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, are unregulated. This makes them highly volatile and susceptible to slight behavioral changes in its community.


Hope this will help many newbie here. Cause i myself still learning.

Good day, mates.

My strategy is to buy coins when the price drops sharply.

Sometimes I fail, because the price drops more than I expected.

But, to prevent this worse situation, I put 30% of my budget at the time of initial investment.
If the price getting down again, I put 30% more.

With this strategy, I am getting some money so far.

In conclusion, I recommend you guys to buy coins when they drops rapidly.
After sharp drop, there should be sharp rising. 

Last week Venezuelans traded bitcoins worth nearly 300 million Bolivars (Bs) and the record could be broken again as thus far this week bitcoin worth more than 292 million Bs has already been traded. This is in continuation of a trend on the BTC/VES pair that began earlier in 2018.
Apart from an increase in demand for bitcoins as a hedge against the high inflationary conditions in Venezuela, part of the reason for the record trading volumes in the BTC/VES pair has to do with the devaluation of the currency in August.


With the rapid decline in the Bolivar's worth, where are Venezuelans obtaining the funds to buy Bitcoin and will the influx of Bitcoin cause even the Petro cryptocurrency to be worthless?
