We are really optimistic about the incoming and we can't certainly deny that everyone is also hoping and relying on this coming halving will have a positive response to the market. We've been in the bullish before because of the hypes and this year, this might because of halving. Besides, the market trend shows differently compared last year and this might be signifying for another Bullrun. If this thing will happen, we will not just reach $15k but it can more than that.

But this all can be possible if there are no major hacking events happen around that could trigger some holders/investors to be panic and sell their Bitcoins.

Base on my experience and I think that most traders have similarly done the same.
Buying more Bitcoins during bear season and sell them off during the bullish season. To make it general, people consider themselves even more profitable when the market it in the Bullrun. Basically, we do holding in the preparation for the bullish because the price is high and can generate more gains.

If we could remember the last 2017 Bullrun, numbers of individuals come for Bitcoin because of the price at that time. The common practice of the people is to buy Bitcoin at low and sell it at high and yet, it seems to be effective. That is why they always wanting to have a bullish market rather than to be in bearish.

Exactly, even reputable and known BM it guarantees nothing. That is why, in choosing bounties to participate with, we also have to look at each member's credibility and not only the person who runs the campaign for this is the only way we are able to know the possible ends of this program.

I am also a victim of this kind of broken promises, huge offerings. Yes, I receive the rewards but it is not a thing that bounty participants want to look after, it is the market value where they can sell their rewards.

Quite that really optimistic and I'd never think that it goes like that even Bullrun will come. We already have a huge struggle to even just reach at $1 how much more for $14? In a certain thing that XRP won't fly that high, it is because of being a centralized one and also investors never look that much profitability over the other.
For even this halving, I don't see any assurance that would bring XRP to the highest level instead of seeing just like what it was shown by now.

Maybe it was and glad to see that it even move higher almost every day without suffering huge dumps on its way.
But I'm not convinced yet to see Bullrun early this year, it might be in the 3rd quarter or late 2nd quarter when halving is done. The trend might still be the same as how it moves right now (slow motion) that it takes time before we reach to its peak.

It is just a coincidence that the market being in the (almost) in the bullish as halving had also been coming. However, and it is clearly understand that more investors will come when they saw the market going up rather it going down. This is most likely people would like to seek easy returns rather than of waiting. Even me, I would never put huge amount of money in crypto if knowing that there is no way we could generate money for it.
But this time and moment has come that we are heading to bullish season it is better to anticipate such flows rather than to be left behind.

It can be as hash rates depend on the market transaction. Yes, we could raise some instances that the more people will come, there will be a huge impact on the market price and lifted up as the demand increase( that was basically the result). For what this hash rate means now to the market, it could give some indications that the market will possibly be moving forward and that was seemingly we want to see as halving may launch this year.

But of course, we don't have to expect too much and not to think that we can be in bullish early this year coz in the previous halving, most prices will hugely pump after the said event and that was (probably) in the 3rd and 4th quarter.

Halving brought to this kind of level and actually it makes people be hopeful enough as this serves as a helping tool for the market to soars high. Though it is quite that slow but its not a problem. The current market momentum is showing great that we might able to reach its peak this year.

What we have now is not to break its momentum and not being in FOMO'ed when we saw dump and sell our Bitcoin cause that will always lead into its ends and lowering down the price.

But maybe we could say sorry for them coz for this kind of disability it is really hard for them. Though this Braille could give some bits of help but being alone is not really enough to access everything in crypto. It might a Deaf person can don but for a blind person? it gives me doubt about how he/she could make it right.

And this is to know the reality that Bitcoin isn't for everybody, it closes some chances to those who are not capable of doing it. It was a big disappointment but there is nothing we can do because for some instances that there are some things can be done and undone.

A few more steps we gonna hit $10k and it was not impossible to reach it this quarter.
The rising trend of Bitcoin isn't really that fast but yet, it already been a satisfying event that we ever saw the market rallying back high again even though it will just move slowly. And it seems to be possible to see Bitcoin breaking the 2018 highest peak ($14k plus). The people are always hoping for this year for the market to fully recover not only for Bitcoin alone but also with the altcoins due to the fact that many investors are still holding this as well. 

It is in the matter of fact that Bitcoin is always consistent with becoming on the top and leading the market. It wasn't a big surprise seeing people giving interest to this coin because it actually been proven so many times. Of course, some altcoins can be of great potential for market investment but because of Bitcoin's high profitability, there is no way not to see this first. In fact, the continuous increase in Bitcoin resistance will simply mean that more and more people are investing this particular coin far away from altcoins.

It is a gonna be a big challenge but yet, can be manageable. It is only hard when we are not in control of ourselves and not knowing what exactly we are doing. Because in the first place, this is the thing we need to know before investing crypto but yet, we never thought like that as we know that it can be fine all the way to go. But it won't go so easy and the market becomes volatile which makes people get hard in dealing with the risk that comes to them.

Risk management can be of long-term work, not just of today or tomorrow but it gonna be needed all the time until we end our crypto journey. All I can say is that we need to think twice and ask help in a situation that we are undecided and really hard to decide as well.

I've used already BitUniverse apps quiet sometimes in my android phones and I'd never try to have another one cause I already been satisfied with what BitUniverse has. Even though I have this app but actually I'm not confident of using this all the time, in fact, I usually visited to any trading site using my laptop rather than using my phone just to figure it out.

Coz if I were you, it is better and most preferred not to use trading apps if you can just access your PC or laptops for a perfect market view. Bugs can be happening in most apps especially when you'll never work on some updates.

I can say that those coins show an amazing upclimbing trend these days are one that means to be valuable all the time. Not a question about their credibility because even during the bear season they could still manage it and survive for the deep crisis. Its been alike to see that the market competition still strong, investors will never look into the price itself but rather to choose the most promising altcoin that couldn't disappoint them in the future.

And in me, I will surely choose Ethereum over the others cause I know that it won't disappoint me. Being a leader in all altcoins, it warrants anything even during crises we could still rely upon.

We already saw XRP surpasses $1 sometimes during the Bullrun and there is no reason why it won't happen again even though it is a centralized coin.
XRP did great even of the worse day in the market and only the thing that even bothered us or has doubts in our mind is just because of its price manipulation and I don't think we need to deal it hard but rather to be in the positive insights looking for a moment that it will follow of what the other altcoins movement. 

I am positive that it will continue to push until the end of this year as the market resistance keeps to increase also. This is the effect of Bitcoin halving and I would rather see more pumps than of dump. Maybe we can't see that it soars high instantly but the fact that halving is dragging into increasing market demand, it eventually makes it possible for another Bullrun. And people are anticipating by then that is why they are buying it now since the price is still at low.

And it feels that OP needs space for him to realize and think deeply in order to have a bright decision and to have a simple plan about his funds. To farther enhance his trading capabilities, it is better also to take time to follow the steps or whatever successful traders have been done before. Becoming a trader isn't perfectly made simple, and yet losses are always a part of it. But we don't give up and won't stop learning, we gonna surpass these struggles and difficulties that we've facing. And the most thing is that we know our limitations.

Yeah, there is no harm in trying, who knows exactly if you are meant to be a trader and you've successful for this.
Actually, 0.005BTC is not a huge amount to risk. No one will prove that is work of nobody would try and accept the challenge. Everything will be uncertain in crypto trading and yet, high risk to take but it doesn't mean that it will stop us. 

If you succeed in this journey, definitely many traders would have to try also. I see your optimism and that is a good thing to see.
Goodluck mate...

Coinsbit exchange as good reviews but something it goes into my mind if this is true or paid reviews in order to look promising and attractive to the investors. But for the safe keep of our funds, I'd never think that we should have to take the risk for this new exchanger rather than to choose exchanges that we've know a long time ago and already have a remarkable market performance.

We need assurance and that Coinsbit won't look that way. There is a thread regarding scam accusations against Coinsbit.

Maybe not, it only causes a chaos that some people will generalize and think that all altcoins will turn into a scam. But Bitcoin could gain the benefits as people will only look to it and there will be no more competition held around and most likely, Bitcoin price will getting higher as it looks today.

We knew that altcoins are still depending on Bitcoin's existence if that thing will happen, expected that the entire crypto market will vanish by then. So much to thin that the whole crypto market relies upon the shoulder of Bitcoin's future. Once Bitcoin finishes, it all be gone.
