Okay, Good for you!! But I want you to understand that may be working for you now, but if you do not have a trading strategy and what to look out for before buying and selling, which is the ability to do some fundamental and technical analysis, then you are not trading, you are gambling and that will end up getting you coin reduced when you ended up selling once a market starts getting pumped further and you panic to even know when to stop loss.

But, I wonder why the OP called it hold by trading. Trading is trading and sure, unless he is just looking for ways to increase the value of his coins by selling higher and buying lower, without considering all other options necessary thinking it would be that easy, then he can go ahead. Unless he has a strategy and he can understand when to sell and when to buy, he should better just hold.

Obviously he already did. A lot of newbies are always busy looking for the quick gain and not considering the future and what makes what they are choosing sensible. However, no one can really tell anyone what to do as they have to understand at some point, which is the reason why a lot of people panic when they see a slight dip since they absolutely have no idea at all of what they want to purchase. If someone is not considering investing large in bitcoin now, I wonder when they will.

Lol. That does not explain it at all. Facebook mentioned the reason why they decided to stop cryptocurrency adverts which is basically because they do not have a system in play that can fish in a bad product or project from a good one and they are responsible for their targeted users who have ended up trusting in some of the ads and investing in a scam project.

So, they had to do that until further notice, and entering the crypto space by Facebook, really does not have anything to do with competition or advert. There is enough room for everyone and only if you knew the amount that was being generated from the crypto adverts before stopping it, you would not say that.

I guess binance really came to make an impact in the market with their fees and it is working. Personally, as long as security is not an issue, then I am good, the rest is just a matter of weighing the options and seeing how they all stand out from each other, which balls down to the other benefits.

I believe when security and customer support is fine, normally, the review should be perfect. Ease of use though is something I really do not consider as long as I can make use of the exchange API on a trading tool.

Yeah, these 3 things are the most important things I look at for me. Any team that already has a good working product obviously shows the willingness and readiness to always keep doing better in the long run, so with a good team, I can trust my investment.

Also, it is not just about having a product, the product should be a very useful and realistic one that I know would be a good innovation needed which is what would make the demand for such an altcoin basic. The last one however, once a product is sound as well as the team, community will always be strong.

I am very sure it must have pained him to his bone marrows. I really do not know what must have warranted the usage of the word fuck in the whole matter here. The Op must have been some new investors who bought into the FOMO and then got scared and decided to ask some questions. At least he is better than some who panicked and hit the exchange to sell at loss immediately. We have had crazy times like this in the past, at the end; it means nothing as the market comes back recovering anyway.

Yeah and that could just be pure coincidence. Like you said, we have institutional investors involved and I am sure they are already loading up right now and waiting for the change in trend of the market, which I believe will change anyway.

Nevertheless if we end up having some pretty good volume coming in after the china new year, based on the fact that they would want to start investing, then that also will be fine. One way or the other, we are all just hoping that we can start a new uptrend pretty soon.

Yeah, I will preferably call that a steady growth since the market has been in a downtrend for a while and to really look at it for someone who decided to invest at the dip, maybe around $6k, which is not some little growth within few days. Imagine getting a single bitcoin and then having more than $3k profit in few days, that to me is not a slow growth but still, looking at the room that bitcoin still have to grow, we can just call it steady. Slow and steady wins the race anyway.

Patience is all that we need now, and hopefully the market ends up coming back stronger and breaking all the resistances we have above us. The growth is good, to me it even looks like some strong hands have entered the market compared to some of the things we have experienced in the past and it seems more like the market is behaving like the regular one. Probably a good thing, but let's see how this goes.

Patience is all that it takes to see huge profit on one's holding. No one who is not a trader should even have any business trying to dump, traders do it because they want to make profit and they do it at a huge risk. There is a lot of great future for the bitcoin and its development, so that is what a typical investor should be after and not just these little ups and downs that we have presently.

Bitcoin has proven to be the future, but if we all decide to start selling out of panic, then who is going to end up buying. This is more like a community and the only reason we are holding picture is because we believe in its future and in the greatness it is going to bring as a lot of the way we do things will end up changing like we are already seeing it, so if we get distracted by just the value, then that would be wrong.

Dear Lutpin and BitBlender-team,

Please consider to increase the payments like $70 for legendary per week at least. Getting paid based on fiat value is fine and most campaigns have already switched to that. But drastic reduction in payout may enforce many participants to suffer like me.

Here is the quick view on current trend of payouts (for legendary members) from few long running camps ..
Crypto-Games  - $140 /week
Bitsler  -  $150 /week

I am well aware of the fact that manager's decision is final still it is a humble request   Thank you !

HitBTC will always be good until you get nabbed. One bad thing about any exchange is having an issue and not being able to have anyone to give you a solution to problem, at least giving you a response that your issue cannot be solved is even good enough, but no, you are just strictly on your own. He should not waste his energy or strength trying harder to communicate to them, he will only get a reply if he is the most lucky man on earth.

Putting in BTC is not even a huge risk as much as leaving in Alts. However, it all depends on what is good enough for the trader in question but I would not advise changing anything if the person trading does not have any trading knowledge or what to look out for while trading, because in that case, it would be hard for someone like the OP to even have an entry or an exit strategy, let alone make profit trying to swap.

You have said it first and then spoiled it. Skills and experience will always help you and that is it. You have to build skills from learning to be able to know what you want to even do in the first place, and then from there you start building on those skills with experience and it is this experience that will help you to achieve the careful dealings that you have mentioned.

Trading requires a lot, these two things are a lot, but getting there, then you will always be able to do fine, not without some rough edges most especially at the beginning of your trading life.

Do not have a nap as a trader and keep working yourself too hard all in the name of a 24 hours, 7 days market and you want to make all the profit to yourself, and let's see how that is going to turn out for you.

It is a good thing though, because knowing that there is no time frame, you can always make market decisions at any point in time. However, based on what you have said, even if you take a nap, you can always have tomorrow to make a decision, so you do not have to kill yourself staying on the chart for the rest of your life.

Education is everywhere, all over the internet, the news, and people around you who have the knowledge. Even this forum alone is good enough to create some of the awareness needed. I am sure the awareness is there already and we really do not need going house to house preaching the gospel according to satoshi to everyone, but the thing is that, not everyone will get the gist immediately, some will get it late, and some will not even get it at all.

I want to believe some institutions have included this in their curriculum and some are really looking into the blockchain technology. For the general people though, it will take a lot of getting used to, most especially for those who are not tech savvies. Over time, this will change and we will get to see more people having some knowledge and some awareness from media news. Except for this two, I really do not know how awareness can be generated further.

Oh please, That is a stale story. Which of the coins in the market was not affected except for some bullshit coin that was just pumped ? Let it get to $0, and then we can say there is no more strength for bitcoin. Bitcoin started an uptrend from less than $1000 last year and got to over $19000 and now testing bottom at $6000.

Maybe you need to go to the books and get some history lesson on bitcoin. Because there is a downtrend now, that makes bitcoin weak right ? If it is by that, and the altcoin market decided to follow the trend as well, then that really makes them weaker and even more useless. Save me the strength story please.

Not just bitcoin gambling. Every gambling is risky and all you have is basically luck and if that is not behind you, you will lose everything and if the OP cannot live with that, then it is unsafe for him and his health. It is not gambling itself that is not safe, it is the mentality of the person gambling sometimes that is not safe. With the mentality of the OP and what he has stated as being safe, then he should better not gamble at all, because the mentality is not safe for him.

What a way to give a proper answer to his question I really wonder if some people usually think the owner of gambling sites who give out free coins in faucets are extremely stupid, otherwise someone will not be asking such a question on how to turn 500 satoshis to thousands. He even mentioned couple thousand. I am sure he must have gotten the gist from your proposal, and if he does not, then that is his cup of tea.

Only if people can channel those energy and resources into making research and doing something smart and reasonable to earn more, faucets will be the last thing on their mind. Also, slapper said it all, anyone who is looking for ways to turn few bucks into thousands is probably looking for the easy way out which there is none, but there is always an easy way in, which he has obviously proposed to the OP.

Unfortunately, gambling is just not the easiest way to make money which I really consider to be appalling knowing that some people have this kind of thought when it comes to gambling.

In addition to these, with cryptocurrency, gambling has even been easier to do and get away with, even in places where it may be prohibited, so at the end of it all, I really do not see how those who gamble the crypto way can be nabbed anyway, it is just the mentality some people have with gambling like what you have mentioned, is what really baffles me a lot.

Yeah, there are so many opportunities that will come up in the future that would even make a lot of smart investors richer. However, just like I have said, only the smart ones will always try as much as possible, to board the train, take a good position before it starts moving.

The market is huge, there is so many potential coins that are undervalued and right now, is the time to hop into most of them before the 2018 journey start. It is a cycle and the train will always be available when the time is right.

There are still some very new coins today that have not even started their journey yet and whereas some are looking at the missed train, they are forgetting those ones with a lot of quality and huge room to grow. I am still very sure that this is year is when we are going to see a lot of trains that would make the holders and investors very rich, so it is still a very good time to hop on some of them now when there is still chance.
