Right we just crossed bitcoins 10 years so indeed the market is fairly young. I'm sure that majority of us here have lost money one time or another specially in the beginning of their career, but you will notice that more and more people are still joining.

We can still recover what we have lost, crypto trading is not gambling. Here we can mitigate our risk and as we mature we can make the right decisions that will make us to book more profits so don't be dishearten by our lost.

I do hope that you know that the market works in cycle, bulls/bears, up/down.

Ok so we're past the 3 months already and it seems that the price is not going down and we've peaked around $4200 last month (although short lived).

There could be lots of things to happen in the next 9 months and let's just be optimistic that at least at stable $5k could be attain in the next 4 months and last quarter maybe it's possible to reach 5 digits again so let's see how this 2019 will be.

I see HODLing as one of the easiest way to make money in the market. Just imagine you're not doing anything and just continue to buy in dips and wait for the price to go to another bullrun. The only downside, you need to be mentally resilient and tough not to sell. And even if you wanted to sell, you need to have a good timing to dump them when it's at the highest price.

It would not be deleted outright is someone doesn't report the post to be spammy and adds nothing to the conversation. That's why I urge everyone to post something relevant to the discussions otherwise if will just be reported and will be deleted by the mods.

I'm not surprised by the news since Australia is the second country behind Japan to adopt bitcoin. What really surprises me though is the inclusion of BNB, although this is token is back by the largest exchange right now, but still it is prone to market manipulation (pump-and-dump).

Anyways, we should take any positive news that comes along, and we do hope some someone will take advantage of this property to be paid in BTC or BNB as the price is still cheap at the moment. This could be a marketing gimmick, but at least we are heading to the right direction.

At least you got some analysis and it seems accurate. Usually if there is a fork, prior to the schedule date investors are putting up money because of the free coins they are going to get (at least in the case of bitcoin). If it's moving back again then, it would either be the two, (a), those manipulators are setting up a bull trap (b), it is indeed a start of a rally that could end up in a bull run in the next couple of months.


Haven't seen it because I haven't done any transactions so far. But ETH is really very quick even before the fork so I will assume that it can improved better.

Any chance you can share some info about your success rate?

I have seen a lot of services you offered before but unfortunately, I haven't heard from them again. Maybe they become successful or not. The reason why I asked about the success rate is obviously if people wanted to avail of your services, we wanted to make sure that you are doing good in your analysis and not just claiming otherwise. It also better if you allow some trusted forum members to try your service and in return give a honest review about your product.

Very weird question. Bitcoin has succeeded its first 10 years, with bugs found in its early years and even some recent here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5034070.0, but we did succeed till now. We even have a lot of forks, if you can call that competition and then there are countries who is fully against it, but then again the ecosystem was not deterred.

Now, how can you call bitcoin worthless in the next 10 years or so when it is very resilience and can adopt to the competitions or what's not in the crypto sphere?

Definitely a lot of pros and cons and we could hear a lot of arguments about it.

For me we should left our brain as how it was design. Although its better if they can kind ways to exploit the entire brain but putting a chip in my brain? Thanks but no thanks. 

I would rather keep it intact and I love how it functions normally.

4 months is like a mid term holding strategy so I don't know how effective this kind of strategy is specially that we're in the bear market. So it's going to be very difficult to see which coins as most of them altcoins are pumped 1-2 weeks only and then the sudden drop.

So I can't say at this moment, I guess it's better to look for coins that is going to be release in the next 4 months or so and try to get in early before the pumpers so that you can ride the waves with them.

Just look at Enjin, it's been pumping in the last couple of days because of the news about Samsung S10 going to support them, but look at the price right now, it falls 5% already, so the pump is all gone and they're selling it right now.

And then after that, the price seems to be recovering and going on $4k again. Several attempts have been made in the last 2-3 days but so far we are not successful.

So what we need right now is a positive news, are there any news in the market right now? I don't think so, we might need to wait again before the price crosses the $4k-$4200k barrier.

Media play a big part but as we grow and mature, we should be careful what we read and try to filter every news, specially negative one as most of the time, media will just published unverified news.

Cormier is still injured isn't it? So I don't see a likelihood of DC vs JDS for now.

Brock Lesnar? No, I don't think so.

I think @nydiacaskey01 has put a good argument as who is JDS needs to first before he can face DC for the Heavyweight. Stipe is the current #1 contender, so a win against him will definitely put JDS in collision course to regain his belt.

It's still gambling and everything is still based on luck.

Anyways, based on my experience, if you could add that if you have a lot of capital to begin with, at least in my case, I don't give a damn about how much I'm going to bet and most of the time I go max bet and the moment I hit a good win I stop and if I'm happy with the amount I already won then I quit already and not force my self to target more.

No, I don't think that Facebook will join the gambling industry just because they have their own coin the future. It's not their forte, they're a social media sites, it might backfire on them if they entertain this idea.

And as far as it own future coins though, I read that it will be going like to be used in remittances. So that alone has lots of competitions already so I guess they need to focus on that one before venturing their coins to other industries like gambling.

Right, but we can still consider this a good and welcoming news for bitcoin enthusiast in the Philippines. It could be a marketing strategy for UnionBank as well because we all know that banking sector in the Philippines has a very stiff competition and maybe they want to get ahead by being the first banking institutions to fully offered a bitcoin ATM.

Maybe a long the way we can see growth of bitcoin ATM's in the country so it means that profits for them as well. So it's a win-win situation and it's nice to hear that at least Philippines is pushing ahead of their goals to be sort of a crypto hub in the South East Asia.

I hope that you're right. Last couple of months we have seen at least bitcoin and ethereum making a good run on the price and moving further away from it's last all-time-low. Although the price is still below like 80% for bitcoin and 90% for ethereum, it had make some gains already.

And the good thing is that there are positive news coming our way like bitcoin future offering and maybe ETF than can push the price again. So let's see, the bears are exhausted at this point and it's just a matter of time before we can see a reversal.

I'm pretty sure we have past the hype because it's already 2019. 2017 was the very best year for most of us, but if you're still living on that euphoria then something is wrong with you.

We need to move forward and with positivism that one day we can see a bull run again. So I will suggest that we should be smarter and evolved as well so that the next time we go on a dramatic rise, we better know how to react. Two had past already so I think everyone should have move forward by now.

Maybe the OP is finding some correlation, but as we say here, we can't really rely on TA alone because this market is based on pure speculations and sentiments change in matter of minutes.

Just like we have seen in the last couple of days, we are about to break the $4k barrier with no news at all. We might see green candles forming, but it doesn't mean that we're about to break and goes for a bull run.

Like 3-4 years ago. I was introduced by a friend of mine.


The usual stuff I guess. It also makes me to live as normal as I can be. Put my kids on a good school because of my crypto earnings.


I'm a crypto gambler so I say that I lose sum and win some. But I have my priorities so I still in control of my earnings here in crypto.

We are not there yet, but getting closer and the good thing is that the price is still above $3900, meaning that in the last 24 hours, there are no selling pressure. Which is a good indication that we can still see the price goes above $4k again or even more.

So let's see how it goes entering this week. I'm positive that we can breach in again so we should remain positive and just hope that we can get away from this longest bearish trend. I'm sure that majority of us are tired and wanted to see a change this 2019, hopefully this should be the start.
