I remember when I was looking for cryptocurrency opportunities, I bumped into the idea of bounty campaigns as a medium to hold some of those new projects and be a part of it for the long run.

I would not have imagined at the end from what I get paid, to have actually risk such an amount on a single project as investment anyway, but at least since I am working for it, it makes a lot of sense. Either you have capital or you have skills or resources to give out. One will just have to play but starting with zero cash is very possible.

A friend of mine while on his job saw great opportunity in trading and while on the job he started learning and practicing with just little until he was so sure he could go in big and during this time, that he was even learning, he had just short period to make use of to do his thing, and then over time from his savings, he left his job, started trading big time and within six months, he has achieved what he could not have thought imagining he would achieve in his life if he had stayed on his job.

Hence, at the end it depends on everyone and how smart they are to opportunities before taking a blind step and regretting it. Trading for him is now a full time job.

Well, let us wait for that possibility to become a reality first, but from what I am expecting though, we may have to just see how this play our considering that the market looks bearish anyway but I am actually expecting a double bottom instead and that is just my own opinion as I do not expect a huge decrease in the market as it is now but we may never know until it happens. I am looking at $6700 to $7000 region though.

Very lot of sense and NEM that he has been holding as well is not a bad one. I think all he has to do is to learn how to play his card with fiats and most especially his holdings, to be able to buy them back later on at the bottom, but NEO, WAVES, NEM, though in the same category is good enough for coins that one can hold and believe they will do well in the long term.

Hey OP, just chill out a bit as NEO is on a free fall right now, but you can watch out for how to enter a long term trade, but if you want to insist on holding any of them, you can still do so anyway, considering that most market has really hit the bottom including the NEM you are holding which has shown sign of upward movement and strength lately. You have good choices of coin, except XRP of course, (sorry!) and if you feel you want to invest now in any of them, you can go ahead.

I am not actually going to be disputing the fact that a lot of the altcoins are rubbish and they serve no purpose, but the ones he has mentioned was where he actually spoiled everything. Clearly most of the altcoins have nothing to offer and they are just there occupying the whole space doing nothing except for being pumped and dumped which clearly only enriches the whales and the devs holding a larger portion of the coin.

Bitcoin is no doubt the legacy coin, but the alts with good intentions and solution providing ones will turn out fine at the end. It is a big market, so there is room for everyone.

This whole issue started from scammers and then started from investors who are not smart and keep ending as a victim of these scammers. It is becoming appalling at some point at the way people complain and I just keep imagining that how on earth would anyone have fallen for such.

Regulation will obviously change a lot of things and then at least help those set of people in their investments as that would obviously send the scammers packing, but it will start being a tough environment to enter for small players.

Obviously they always feel pained in their heart that it is impossible to just rule out the cryptocurrency space completely like that and the best they can only do is to regulate it, not if decentralized exchanges start taking the part of the day in the long run anyway. All the above, a lot of fake news comes from China a lot and the communities are the ones paying attention to this without even verifying anything which makes it possible for some set of people to want to capitalize on the news for their own benefit.

It has always been influential and it will keep being influential and that is what makes up the fundamental anyway. Most of the reaction to the market do not even come from this forum even though it is a little bit part of it since it is a big discussion forum, and some may want to get to view people's opinion.

But in general, there are so many sources where one can get information from, so nothing can be filtered and it does not matter how the person want to make use of the information as they have the decision to make at the end.

A lot of people have considered trading the market and saying holding is bullshit since they could have sell and buy back at the bottom, but what they do not understand is that if you are not a trader and you do not have the knowledge, you always be stuck at one point or gambling your position which could even make such an individual to end up losing more. I totally agree with you and anyone who apparently does not have any business with the chart or the knowledge of trading should just stick to the line of HODLING.

Bandwagon of weak hands in the market. I wonder why anyone would actually invest into something, and then dash other people their cash even when they have not earned what they expect to. The market is volatile and if we say there won't be huge fluctuations, then we would all be lying since it is even a new market which is decentralized, but still, some rather than being patient, panic, and give the whales more chance to keep stealing from them.

Moving into a different venture offline is actually a very good way to make use of the huge amount one may have realized from cryptocurrency and real estate is a very good option. For someone like me, I have always liked the idea of investing in real estate as well as oil and gas and I feel if I can get a very good target, those areas would be my first target and being able to build on that will keep giving me an established opportunity to invest more into cryptocurrencies over time.

Investing in the cryptocurrency world is for life, but sometimes I always feel the holding thing sometimes is too over hyped and with trend following, it is good sometimes to utilize those moments to get the best from the market by playing with the fluctuations in prices for long term holders. A lot of us keep holding and then we see our investments flashing through our eyes every time, go high today, drop hugely tomorrow and then you feel so stupid holding all along.

In fact, when I started trading, I regretted the fact that I did not start trading earlier before now as I imagine what I would have been worth by now. Sometimes, you need somethings to happen in your life to stir you up into leaving your comfort zones and that was how I learned how to trade and since then it has been more than worth it.

As long as you are eager to learn and practice all that you have learned, trading over time becomes so easy as you get better with experience.

It will be as simple as anything. There is no way you can make any trading plan or strategy if you do not have the knowledge of what you are doing which is what makes a lot of newbies who think trading is a way to make more money to keep making mistakes and end up getting their funds terribly reduced in the long run based on their mistakes of not learning first before starting to trade. In such occasions, there is just no way they will not get more emotional and keep making mistakes.

No, let me correct that. There are some shitcoins good for pump and dump that is available on Yobit and apparently not available on any reputable exchange. I guess a lot of newbie traders like the idea of pump and dump, so I am not surprised and they would not mind bag holding a shit coin in a shit exchange. it is just crazy that as much as we keep saying this, a lot of people still take the whole thing unserious and when they have problem they keep running to the forum to complain. Serves them right.

Some people really do not see gambling as fun and this forum is enough to testify to that. Have you seen some questions being asked by some newbies looking for ways to make profit and more money from gambling ?

Some are always fond of looking for things in the wrong places, and as a result of that, while looking for those things, they always end up getting lost themselves which some of them ends up devitalized to the state of doing anything negative to their own selves.

Yeah, and those hobbies all depends on what we find interesting. The same way some find gambling interesting, some do not, and the same way some find playing of game interesting, some people find it appalling. So, at the end, every man have what they unwind with and that is where the whole idea of fun comes in any way since I cannot do what I do not like and as long as I can control those impulses when I need to, I am good.

Every addiction is a disease, as long as it is something that is uneasy to sure, then it is even a huge one that can spread pretty fast and overwhelm you before you even know it. There is a thin line between gambling as a normal human being and entering the addictive world because that is where the advantage you have to control the impulse has been taken away from you and once you are in that lane, it is a big one to deal with.

Apparently, it would be difficult to prove and it would just count as mere accusation as the person in question can easily deny it unless it is just glaring to the point that a sane human can know that a particular post does not deserve a huge merit. I have seen a shit post with a huge merit before and I just smiled, funny enough, someone already reported the linked accounts and the person was dealt with, so at the end, there are some that are being punished if glaring.

Oh no, please do not put the blame on my best exchange, binance was not even hacked after all, some users only ended up getting their own accounts vulnerable. However, if you check the news, you should have known by now that MtGox trustee was behind the whole huge dump and even though some have said it is just an excuse, but the truth is that it was part of it, and it did not help the market at all. You can check the story out on Google.

I can see why he does not have a real job because even the little one he is getting as benefit for being a part of the community, he does not even understand a single bit of it. One thing is that people will always have their own opinion and if he perceives bitcoin to crash in the long run, he can keep selling the little ones he has been getting out of panic, while the ones who are smart will keep collecting it.
