921  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ether is about to rally strongly says Wall Street’s Tom Lee on: October 03, 2018, 05:02:23 PM
We see a number of signs regarding the bull season, but it will be in vain to wait for the bull season as long as there is no hot money with new investors. I expect the Ethereum to make a good exit during the expected bull season, but may react a little later than the other crypto coins.
The signs are actually glaring technically and I won’t be surprised to start seeing the altcoin market exploding very soon.
Tom Lee is a great analyst, and it is obvious to see that the market is trying to gear up for some movement upward, but I guess at the same time, only time can really tell how things would end up in the long run. I am also looking to see Ethereum make some good run as well in this last quarter.

Hopefully even if we do not get to see a new ATH, we could possibly go test the previous one but if we are to go with the rally with respect to Tom Lee, I would say, in that case, I had just keep my fingers crossed to see how the trend takes us.
922  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: SLEEPING GIANTS WAKE UP? on: October 03, 2018, 03:18:00 PM
Friends, many analysts say that soon the bearish market will be replaced by a bullish one and, accordingly, there will be a turn up. What altcoins do you think will greatly increase in price?
I think bearish season is not over yet.Market needs more correction and consolidation.In my opinion Bitcoin might go to 4000 region then we will see excessive growth in the market.Altcoin has corrected a lot and now we are seeing sudden rise in few altcoins.
Sure, we are not done with the bearish season yet, but there are still some little chances of seeing the whole market get to some point of reversal, most especially for the altcoins, judging from the way they have been acting lately, and how if given a perfect condition, most especially when it comes to the movement of bitcoin, we will get to see some solid growth in them as well. During this period, obviously, we will get to see a lot of sleeping giants, waking up pretty fast.
That reversal is actually looming with the way things are going with altcoins. We have seen some bullish divergence signals lately, some of them even breaking out from the downtrend with some pretty good volume and even though we could say that may not really tell us what would happen next, at least, we know it is a signal for when the whales are popping in.

Things could go haywire which is why we have the stop loss anyway, but however it is, I believe that no matter what and in the end, the market is always going to pick up and recover anyway and then we will see some sleeping giants with ADA being the first on my list waking up.
923  Economy / Economics / Re: Executives are selling off their company's stock at a record pace on: October 03, 2018, 01:25:37 PM
But my one cent opinion, whales deals business among them, either buying or corporate restructuring, we seen these, the power shift beyond closed door, yet, what could be the effect of these Dumping into Crypto, they dump via old market structure (Stocks Market). Its been a strategy of some Risk taker whales in the market, i feel sorry if they do that into Crypto Currency Market....
It is very normal to see things like this happen a lot when a market is highly inflated and in cases like that we all know that every investor, most especially the large ones will definitely be taking the huge step of shedding risks as the case may be.

Now dumping on the crypto market however, is something that even without them, we have been seeing already over the years, and usually this is how most institutions tend to do their thing. I really feel sorry for them if they do, but one thing is that when executives are dumping, it can generally affect a lot quickly which is why I feel with bitcoin being a very useful currency with faster transaction and wide adoption, things like this will change.
924  Economy / Economics / Re: What can be done to make bitcoin stable? on: October 03, 2018, 10:53:21 AM
In my opinion. we must be able to control between supply and demand. and we must be able to limit the maximum amount of supply of a coin in the trade market. so that the number of coins will not be added again and has a limited amount. so that the coin can have a stable and controlled price.
First off, I really do not always like that word control, as you are making it sound like we are in the fiat world. Secondly, this is a decentralized space, so trying to control the market will be impossible.

Nonetheless, it is sure we can have less volatility in the long run, when we get to have some equilibrium. This is when both supply and demand are somewhat equal and even if there is a gap between them, it won't be much and this can only become a reality when we start having real life usage. When people say stability, I always assume they are referring to less volatility, because no matter what, a market will always remain volatile as long as supply and demand is involved.
925  Economy / Economics / Re: Evolution of Money on: October 03, 2018, 08:31:10 AM
Well it is a good to know article about money. I just think that it is kind of cyclic how the economy works ehen currency is involved. I thinl crypto currency is the next evolution of currencies and i hope we don't have to resort to Fiat or worse yet, bartering off goods in exchange fornother goods or services.
This is not even something to be thinking about, every system of government admits that blockchain is the future and even though they may have some problem with decentralization, there is just nothing they can simply do about it at the moment and that is a good thing as far as I am concerned.

Money has changed over the years and now we are fortunate to be experiencing a different change entirely. Changes are not bound to occur immediately as it is gradual and some generation may completely have to pass away, but one way or the other, the change is here and we know in the future, things would really come into effect more than we have now.
926  Economy / Speculation / Re: Hodl or sell right now ? on: October 03, 2018, 07:45:58 AM
The best you can do for now is hold since this is not the best moment to sell your btc. Selling that you had will cater losing of your coins. So, much better do some analysis on how you can earn your good moves to manage your crypto.
You can't lose your money until you sell your bitcoin so better to hold them for long term or if possible for years.
Two things I always tell people is, you should either be in the category of those who are well learned when it comes to trading and know what to do to take advantage of the market fluctuations which is something good by the way as you tend to accumulate more in the long run or you are simply someone who is just focused on the long term, you know the benefit that you are always going to derive from it in the future and the fact that you will most definitely have a part to play in it by being an early adopter.

Anything outside these two, you are surely as an investor harming your own pocket, because the idea of not being a trader or a long term investor, then selling at loss is something that would happen and that is one bad thing to do.
927  Economy / Speculation / Re: btc's next moves on: October 02, 2018, 07:22:38 PM
One more time everybody try to predict the future of Bitcoin price, and like always there is two type of people. First type is telling us what Bitcoin will skyrocket in price after couple days, and second type telling us what this is not the end and the price will go down more..But in reality neither one or the other does not lie, they just telling us their opinions, because no one really can tell how the price will move in real life.

not everyone is telling their "opinion". in fact most of the topics in this board are telling us their hopes and wishes for bitcoin price in near future. for example when someone is insisting with high certainty that bitcoin is going to fall hard, they obviously plan on shorting or buying bitcoin at the bottom.
Hopes and wishes indeed, which I wonder what they get from their hopes and wishes in the long run, except that they could end up having dashed hopes when things do not turn out the way they imagined.

Market should never be assumption based and a lot of people put up baseless assumption all because that is they want to see come to reality like you said, but it is the future, no one can see it, market can do its own thing the way it likes, and no one can apparently tell what btc next move would even be except to just follow the trend.

Moreover, if people think they can keep themselves optimistic and hopeful for a certain condition like the example you made, then, i wish them good luck.
928  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Declining of Bitcoin Price has also a Decline in Consumers Interest? on: October 02, 2018, 05:22:06 PM
I will surely agree that if you think further in the past the price has really grown quite far, And in my opinion, It is still at large we can see that this value is still big compared to 2014 up to 2015 bear market, But I don't see why certain people will have disappointment over their investment in 2017 but maybe because of their involvement during the bull run back then, But right now the price is only at $6,600 compared to the 2017 that almost increased to $18k Well I don't blame them but I really think they will need patience in calming down a bit because the price will surely increase for another year to come.
A lot of people are not really focused on the long term because they do not want to imagine the benefit they stand to gain in the long term, when real life usage and adoption kicks in, which is the reason why they do not always have the patience to understand why a bear market is even important to buying for the long run and why they should be taking advantage of it.

Interest will always decline when you approach to something is not met, and in this case, the approach of a lot of people is to get rich quick, and obviously since a lot of them got greedy, joined FOMO and now regretting they did, their interest will surely drop because they have no vision as to what the future could end up holding.
929  Economy / Economics / Re: How will the SEC affect the market after on September 30? on: October 02, 2018, 08:44:50 AM
September 30 will be the next consideration of the issue of taking bitcoin-ETF. How can ETF deviation affect the market? And how can the adoption of ETF affect?
The most important question we should ask is, do we really believe it will be accepted ? No.
If you and I do not believe it will be accepted, than market do not believe that neither. If market doesn't believe it will be accepted than don't you think they already decided on what they think about it and it is already inflicted on the price ?

I think whatever the price is right now means what we already know, it won't be accepted. Hence, when SEC decides that it doesn't want to accept it than it means nothing will happen because we already knew that and already inflicted that on the price.
930  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Should investors trust ethereum anymore? on: October 02, 2018, 08:10:09 AM
Do not underestimate ether as it is the second best coin after bitcoin that has a good potential, a better platform, a large community and is being used in so many places over the internet. The price being so low is not at all a problem since every coin faces this. Look at the history of bitcoin and you will find out how long it took BTC to reach at this level.
Underestimating any coin at this point in time is not actually always the best way to go as the best thing to always do most times during a bear trend is to take advantage of how low the market has gone and be able to get something substantial from it as much as you can in the long run. Investors know what they are after and that is not by running away from the dips because without those dips, there is no chance of buying lower and that is always the target of those who are smart enough to always take full advantage of the market and not run away from it when things are going awry for some.

now its really worth it to buy some ethereum to hold what will happen in the future of ethereum.
The worth of buying now will be realized in next 10 to 15 months. I mean to find the real worth of ethereum, you must be ready to hold for next 10 to 15 months. It is very much similar to gambling when compared to bitcoin investments in my opinion.
931  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Dangerous price area on: October 02, 2018, 05:47:56 AM
As we can see through all this months bitcoin cannot break 6800$ point. But the day it will happen I do not see any special reasons to affect on mining, because of even 20000 $ point didn't make anything special with that area of crypto business.
How many months have you seen bitcoin breaking the $6800 point? Grin That was just recently and the only thing we have tested severally now for a very long time is the $5800 - $6000 support which I believe even though has been holding does not mean we still cannot get the possibility of it being driven down hard if it breaks lower. Being in a dangerous area is more like saying we are in an indecisive area with the market trying to find a direction and at this point, it is always risky trading the market without some tight stop loss as the case may be.

it all depends on the way each individual may want to look at it, but for someone going long, they can always decide to go in at any point.
Yes, these dangerous zones are only for short term players and as you just mentioned I never worry about the bitcoin's current range bounded trading. I hope it will break these dangerous price area and will go up. It is October and we may expect something new from now onward.
932  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Where you take inspiration when you tired from trading? on: October 01, 2018, 08:04:51 AM
I get inspiration from friends who can become wealthy from trading and can buy whatever he wants from the trading benefits that he did inspired me and I want to try just like him.
Yeah, at times you will always see people around you to always challenge you to want to do better than you are doing at the moment and that is a good thing. However, in life it is always good to be self-motivated, most especially when you have specific goals and you are looking to achieve those goals at certain period in time.

Nevertheless, if we are talking about being tired from trading based on fatigue or something, I believe the best thing to do is to always take a little break and then try to see things you can do to rest and be able to get enough mental energy for later on. If you break down normally, everything will end up gone, so that should not be an option.
933  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2 - 3 low marketcap coins on: October 01, 2018, 04:52:55 AM
do you have any coin with very low marketcap like 10m  but i prefer 5-1m cap
who can increase a lot with the next bull run ?? or good team behind and developments are good .
Maybe you should take a look at COSS and ADB. They have some strong team, a very good product and then the possibility of picking them at these low prices is something that you would certainly be lucky to benefit from in the long run. Once the market starts springing up, they will always have the opportunity to start doing well in the long run and in that case, we all know how this low market cap potential coins tend to move pretty fast on their way up than you can imagine. I would suggest you to look into these ones anyway.

I will go for CLAMS. It used to be worth over 0.01 BTC per coin but it is only worth 24k satoshi now and is listed on Bittrex and Poloniex. Its current market cap is around 5 million. If I have extra money, I would buy some CLAM and sell it off till the next altcoin bull market.
I was one of the calms holder, now switched to many other coins. The current prices of calms are approximately equal to 2 USD. I believe that must be the right enough price in long term regardless of how much it may get pumped or dumped. Hence, decide accordingly.
934  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What did you suggest about the market? on: September 30, 2018, 03:52:22 PM
Any banking currency is of course more reliable than a crypto currency: the government issues money, but it does not have the capacity, as it does not have a crypto currency
The market cannot be stable, as long as it is decentralized, it will always fluctuate and it is bound to always fluctuate anyway. However, the thing with the market is that as long as you understand the long term potentials, it will be very easy for you to always deal with every present moment as an opportunity for the long term.

If you cannot trade, the best thing is to keep accumulating during the dips and holding for the long term. Those who held right from the onset and still holding today actually do not have two heads and it is not like they just got rich overnight like some people are always expecting for themselves which is why they make bad decisions.
935  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP price leaps nearly 20%, leaves investors confused on: September 30, 2018, 04:36:30 AM
xrp is the reason for start of bulls. crypto is centered on xrp right now
swell meeting on oct 3
XRP is not the reason for start of bulls as the crypto space has been gearing up towards this point for a while now and asides that, XRP was not the first coin in the top 100 to actually go bullish, as doge was.

Well, that simply shows that even for shit coins to go bullish, the chances are there pretty soon to see the other markets follow the same route if bitcoin tend to give the proper environment and tend to move sideways or slowly up for the short time and then we will be able to get to see some bullish move upward for the altcoin market.

I guess we are approaching the days of increasing our bitcoin stash if you know what I mean.
936  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will touch 20K USD end of 2018. What you think ? on: September 30, 2018, 03:48:55 AM
I think this is more likely to happen in 2019. The bear market still has some way to go before the accumulation begins.
When we start seeing accumulation we obviously will end up seeing some level of consolidation for a while and then from there, we will be able to see the market taking a new shape to the moon but for now, I feel we are still dwindling between the market considering whether to go on a short term uptrend before continuing with the downtrend before the consolidation or in this case the accumulation period or it will just break below the descending triangle and go lower which in this case, before we can start thinking of seeing anything serious, I would say 2019.
937  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Futures on: September 30, 2018, 02:59:15 AM
The blows against futures and ETFs have been present for the last couple of months, and amazingly, bitcoin and the economy kept a sturdy stance against it. Right now, the Bakkt Futures might not be accepted by the SEC, and knowing how the market reacts to such news, this will just be another short-term blow without any severe damage for the cryptocurrency market. It will bleed, yes, but not profusely.
The fact that bitcoin and the crypto economy has been doing well even with all the delays in the ETF approval shows candidly that it does not really have any serious or big effect on bitcoin and the cryptocurrency space in general.

Even if the market react to the news as you said, the price would have just ended up being manipulated anyway to please the whales in the way they want the market to move and as long as the market is still speculative, I really would pay much attention to price actions, than pay attention to some ETF news. Sure, in the long run, the whole ETF thing would usher in growth since more money will likely flow into the space.
938  Economy / Speculation / Re: The occurrence of bitcoin price movements from year to year on: September 29, 2018, 03:31:33 PM
looking at history is a good thing. and analyzing the charts and the history doesn't have to mean you rely on them. besides it usually depends on what the majority of the market thinks. if they think this year should repeat last year's rise from $1k to $20k then it will happen because they will buy it up. and if they think just because last time the bear market lasted long, it should also last long this time too then it certainly will last long.... as you can see it is being prolonged now because most people thought 6 months of bear market is not enough and it should be equally long as last time.
It may be a good thing, but at the same time, dwelling so much on them, may not actually be the best step to always take. I am saying that because a lot of people dwell on the past a lot, but in reality, the past is never meant to be an indicator of what would happen in the future.

Even though we have heard of different occasions where history repeats itself, but it is just usually better to concentrate on the moment, monitor it, make decisions based on what you see and not what you think about the past, and you will be a lot better at the end.

At least, we have seen past not repeating itself as well, so to me, using past is more like trying to gamble what the future might bring.
939  Economy / Speculation / Re: Three things not to do when Bitcoin prices are down on: September 29, 2018, 03:00:23 PM
Not sell when prices are rising? I don't sell at any particular time since I have a fixed timeframe and expenses, but I do try to time a little if prices seem to be rising to delay.

In fact, almost anyone who's been selling when prices rise over the past few months would have scalped decent amounts. Trade channels seem to suggest some have done this with success. The past few rises have also reached lower highs, stemmed by higher lows for sure, but they're making all those single digit percentage profits.

All I'm saying. No "mistakes" except to go with your gut, in ehich case, yeah you have good points.
One thing that is flawed in what he has said is simply the fact that this is not a list of things everyone will be able to do and only those who have some good knowledge on probably analyzing the charts, identifying what a bottom looks like and when to accumulate, or identifying when to be selling based on a trend changing, will obviously be able to do some of the things he has mentioned.

Until you do not have knowledge to make important decisions, I would not even advise anyone to just go with whatever that just comes to head, but should rather just focus on the long term, buy lower prices as long as they have the cash to buy and then hold for as long as they can. I am sure in 5 years from now; the market will not be the way it is currently.
940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Interesting events to bet on in September/October on: September 29, 2018, 09:00:15 AM
NBA is starting soon. You can definitely start betting on the first day, the first day games are generally really bettable big games, for example okc will face warriors, we know even today after 2 rings whenever durant and westbrook gets together things get heated.

Leagues are starting as well, most of them already started. I don't know what you want to bet on but I know these and they can really bring out a great odd deals because the starting days of a league usually comes with unusual results until teams get used to it again. First games are like out of summer vacation type games and players are not %100, great time to take advantage of it.
