How can I trade on this?

Nice the long wait is over, welcome back Spectiv Presale has been very successful lately and Im sure that this project will continue to succeed,Goodluck.  

Things that damage the economy indirectly.

For example I feel that fast food and an unhealthy lifestyle leads chronic health problems that probably affects the economy not just monetarily.

Of course we can't just deny these people care, just promote a healthier lifestyle.

What are other things that we can change that will affect the economy in a positive way?

Nowadays, Venezuela is the most striking example of the negative effect of irresponsible political decisions on economy. Back in the 1980s, the country was an oasis of peace and a role model for the region. Its citizens boasted the highest level of earnings on the continent, and high oil prices gave hope for a bright future. Unfortunately, the extreme left came to power soon after. Hugo Chaves put in motion a spiral of social spending, which combined with the decreasing scope of foreign investment and falling oil prices, led to the financial collapse of the country.

The economy has been devastated by raging hyperinflation, estimated to reach the level of millions of percent. Money has completely lost its value – to the point that it is no longer worth to print it. Ad hoc regulations, such as deleting five zeros from banknotes, have failed. The new sovereign bolivar turned out to be as weak as its previous version. Black market traders selling dollars banned under the Maduro regime have been the only ones who benefited from the introduction of the new currency.

Desperate Venezuelans began to look for help for their shrinking savings. They found it in bitcoin – an on-line currency that has proven immune to the dictator's populist declarations. Venezuelans have bought 16 thousand bitcoins in the first quarter of 2019 alone. At the beginning of 2018, the local market leader, i.e. the Finnish trading platform, LocalBitcoins, sold 170 bitcoins a day to customers paying in bolivars. A year later, the number is 10 times higher.
Payments in bitcoin began to be accepted by Mercado Libre, a popular on-line auction site, and Traki, a chain of department stores. The number of places accepting payments in cryptocurrencies kept growing every day. This did not escape the regime's attention. Maduro began to monitor digital currency trading and even recommended the creation of a national cryptocurrency. "Petro" was supposed to be a stable coin, i.e. a currency supported by a raw material. In the case of Venezuela, the raw material in question would be the one which the country has in abundance – crude oil. Each “petro” was supposed to have a value of one barrel of oil, but the plans have never come into fruition. Today, opposition leaders refer to “petro” as a form of “illegal cheating”, and Trump prohibits Americans from trading this cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin invariably remains of interest to Venezuelans, although the anarchy into which their country has plunged is not conducive to the spread of cryptocurrencies. Coinmap – a map showing places that accept bitcoin – indicates that one could pay with bitcoins in just under 200 stores in Caracas. It is not an impressive number for a capital inhabited by 2 million people. However, it can be assumed that many entities prefer to settle in cryptocurrencies without announcing it officially, so as not to attract the attention of public officials.
Venezuela is often presented in the media as a patient zero for implementation of bitcoins on a national scale, but this is somewhat exaggerated. The country experiences frequent electricity shortages, so local mines sometimes do not operate for days. Crypto-entrepreneurs are one thing, but ordinary people often cannot afford a smartphone for account servicing, and the network itself can fail even in city centres. Venezuelan Internet is one of the slowest in the world with an average speed of 1.61 megabits per second.

What is more, Venezuelans often lack financial education which could highlight the advantages of cryptocurrencies as compared to easy-to-manipulate fiat currency. This is where such platforms as Darb Finance can find their niche by offering not only the exchange platform and portfolio, but also educational materials and tutorials which would be useful for independent exploration of the ins and outs of cryptocurrencies. The platform itself is so simple and intuitive that even people less familiar with new technologies can get their heads around it. The stock exchange can operate in two modes: simplified, for beginners and advanced, as a full trading application. Because of that, users can start their adventure with bitcoin practically from scratch and systematically deepen their knowledge through experience. It will certainly take a lot less time than waiting for Venezuela to come out of the crisis.

Litecoin has been really strong all year round, it is now forming an equilibrium pattern after a strong bullish move. The current high of the pattern is $144.3 and the low $125.6 The next lower high seems to be forming at $140 and if it is confirmed today, that will be the level to break for the pattern to turn bullish. Of course there is a chance for the pattern to break bearish as well.

I think the recent price increase of the market may be due to the impact of a political and economic factor. Although the growth seems unsustainable, I do not think this is due to  pump by shark, the market recovered after two years of sharp decline is an obvious rule. Let the time to answer for us.

Initial offerings are not over priced because every project has its set target and based on these goals, price are set for the various phases for token sales. It becomes unfortunate if a coin drops in ICO, STO, or IEO price after listing and never show signs of rising to surpass that price. This is why investors must study the project well before joining in order to know the capabilities and potentials of the project.

Bitcoin and blockchain are different things. Blockchain is the technology behind the possibility of bitcoin. As some of the statements here, some are interpreting blockchain and bitcoin as the same. But it is not. Cryptocurrencies could really compete with the central banks and it is not the Paypal and Visa they compete with. But after 100 years, people will become more interested in educating themselves and will have access to education more than what we have today. That is the time that governments could not regulate everything especially when it comes to currency and trades.

As we see bitcoin wins over all things, we recovered from 3K price, went up to 5K 6K and now we finally hit 9K and this last number is near to 10 which is a psychological factor too. We are very near to 10K and I believe we will reach this price in following days which will automatically boost positive feelings among bitcoin and crypto community. This is were further rise gets start. Well, maybe I am super positive but I think current market actions will return all time high pretty soon. Imagine, positive feelings, possibility of profitable mining, possibility of increasing profit and a lot, this all united in one can return old all time high price.
I think this time has come again.

Bitcoin is in a parabolic pattern. My Bitcoin is sitting in cold storage. What is the best strategy to eventually cash out and profit?

I was overwhelmed by the latest updates of bitcoin performance lately, that has been gradually changing. We now surpassed the $9k peak, so every now and then if the demand hits higher; I think that would be a great signs that we should prepare for $10k potential target price which could surge much higher than that. Don't get so excited yet, because after this price spikes the alts will again shine towards every exchanges and definitely give us another green days at every marketplace.

for me the best altcoin today is ethereum because it's the leader today and you're also investing in bitcoin because it's the crptocurrency front and I'm sure it's bigger here.
