Exiting ETH at $300 thinking that was the peak, after buying in at $120.

To be fair, it was sitting at $300 for aaaaaaaages. Still, I reckon it's got a long way to go before we see ETH's peak...
Lol. No one could have even imagined last year, that Ether will even go further, but at some point anyway, the indicators started turning long and those who were smart enough as traders to see it, did and good thing it came in handy for the profit.

I have made trading decisions similar to this, but I have never regretted them, but sometimes as long as the trade is not hitting my stop loss or giving me some huge bearish signals, I really do not bother myself about it.
As long as you make money it is fine people worry too much about selling at the top of the market but it is impossible to do it all the time, the most important thing to do with your trading is to obtain consistent profits, people concentrate too much in trying to get 10 times their investment when  getting 5% out of each trade can make you more money in the long run if you are a talented traders.

Btc is not strong like before Smiley I dont trust in  BTC now Smiley Better i choose Ethereum or Fiat Smiley I dont want to invest in BTC becose it could go to 3-5k from now Sad
Not going to happen but if you are so sure then it may be a good idea to keep watching the market, bitcoin at those prices will be a steal and if I ever saw those prices I will invest all my spare money in bitcoin without even thinking since I know that bitcoin will eventually recover from such a low price, but that will not happen since bitcoin is firmly established above 9k

Is this for real? I guess i should check but I am a bit scared to now  Shocked I dont think I have much in there anyway
According to this https://www.coindesk.com/funds-safe-binance-denies-crypto-hack-rumors/ all the funds are safe.

But we must be cautious if a hack did happened it is too soon to tell if everything is OK or that binance will admit it right away however right now I'm going to rely on what it is on the news and say that this is probably a misunderstanding or some kind of FUD, I do not have my money there so I'm fine, but it will be a good idea to check if everything is OK in your account.
984  Economy / Speculation / Re: What would be the signs a big dip is coming on: March 07, 2018, 07:59:39 PM
I was expecting a dip before now but it's not happened.  What are the signs a big dip is about to happen.  Would it be at a particular time of day or would there be signs in the price that a fall is about to come.   Or would it be totally unexpected and just suddenly happen.  And the same for a huge rise?
Most of the time when I see a price decrease it has to do with some negative news affecting the market, most of the time the news comes first and then the charts take a downturn if that is correct you will do better by watching the news regarding bitcoin and take the needed actions once you begin to see the movement on the charts, it is not the best method but it may work for some.
985  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: PLEASE LET ENCOURAGE THE MARKET BY START BUYING AND STOP SELLING: on: March 07, 2018, 07:54:30 PM
How is holding bitcoin going to prove that bitcoin is decentralized? Also, I'm pretty sure that the government already knows that bitcoin is decentralized, and that's exactly why we're having problems with government regulations, as they can't control it.

Lastly, don't tell people what to do with their money. It's a free market.


This is the same argument I want to say to OP. Free market and decentralized work’s perfectly when no one is controlling and saying what to do with his accounts. Encouraging and hyping can be considered an act of regulating.

Let the market play its own self. Beside the more people selling their BTC is a good thing in the cryptocurrecy because that’s means lower price of BTC. Take this opportunity in your advantage and move forward.

Unfortunately that is never going to happen, remember as long as people can obtain profits in the market they are going to try to seize some control of it and make money that way, that is what the whales are doing even if at the beginning they believed in decentralization and all its benefits once they see they can earn money manipulating the market then it is a sure thing greed will take over and they will try to benefit themselves.
986  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What makes a altcoin valuable on: March 07, 2018, 07:50:32 PM
Altcoin will have value if that coin can give some benefits to the their community, more benefits will be more in demand and more value. Just like Ethereum was given many advantages to the blockchain community so the price will continue increasing every year.
While the technology is very important another thing that is really important is to be the first coin with that kind of technology, bitcoin is still the number one coin in the market because it was the first cryptocurrency and even if there are many copies of it around the market not a single one will ever come close to capture the success bitcoin has since those are just copies of the original

Did you got permission by yahoo62278 to use his rules and the thread design? Because everything looks very similar and you may get in trouble, it is better that you create your own rules and thread design, you can get inspiration out of it but copying it may carry some consequences. Escrowing the funds will also a be a good idea.

989  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you thinking about the future? on: March 06, 2018, 06:21:40 PM
Thinking for the future is very important, especially for children. And I strongly agree with bitcoin investments for the needs of children in the future, as this is for their education and healthcare costs.

Bitcoin's investment for the child's future is a very good thing, but I can not buy bitcoin tokens right away, because I do not have the capital, but I will get it with various campaigns.
You need to do the effort right now, bitcoin is not going to wait for us anymore if you do not have enough bitcoin in the next months or years it is possible you will not be able to buy any significant amount of bitcoin anymore and then you will need to invest in other coins and while you can make money with alts the truth is that the risk is way higher which is why many prefer to avoid them and invest only in bitcoin.
990  Economy / Speculation / Re: Selling Bitcoin on: March 06, 2018, 06:05:42 PM
Bitcoins are never reliable in any situationss better avoid them
If you do not believe in bitcoin then you should not really use any other cryptocurrency what it is the point really, bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency around and if that is not enough for you maybe it could be a good idea for you to invest in something else that you consider more reliable like gold but you are never going to get the profits we can get with bitcoin if you invest in gold.
991  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading FOREX or Crypto? on: March 06, 2018, 05:58:59 PM
forex is pretty much locked down by professional traders , so there are not many chances to make money. crypto should be easier in theory because it has more volatility. the easiest way is to trade on low marketcap coins .
I agree, not only professional traders are there but banks as well if you complain about the whales in bitcoin you do not know how the whales in forex can manipulate the market, while the volatility is less everyone is leveraged to the hilt so a few cents in the change in the price of the dollar can mean the banks earning a small fortune with each one of those trades while everyone else losses money.
992  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the worst thing did you did in crypto world? on: March 03, 2018, 11:54:43 PM
i sold my NEO bag around 43$. my worst case ever i did because 2018 will be the NEO momentum .
pls give your experience also.....
 Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
I have not yet experience selling anything because i am still new but i think it is not wrong to sell your token as long as profit with your transaction. We can't see what will happen in the future, so if you think you will gain profit by selling your coin then go ahead, sell it.
There is nothing wrong with selling but what the user you responded was complaining was that he sold for a bad price, this is a very common problem, people buy a coin and then they get some profits but instead of keeping their coins for a longer time they thought that was the top and they sold losing potential profits in the process, in my opinion if you sell close to the ATH there is not a problem but if you sold too early then you need to study more about trading so you do not make that mistake again.
993  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's effect Facebook banned will have on ICOs today on: March 03, 2018, 11:44:19 PM
I don’t think it will be having any effect on ICOs, unless maybe it will reduce their rate of success or something like that. I don’t know how to explain what I mean. But Facebook is not the only social media out there. There are others like Twitter, LinkedIn and the rest of them, although I don’t know if others would be effective as Facebook.
It will decrease the funds they get and to be honest I do not think that is so bad, some icos have ridiculous expectations about the money they need to make the project a reality, the ico was supposed to be a way to help the developers to create a project not a way to make them rich with our money but that is the posture many icos have by not having a hard cap or by having a very high hard cap.
994  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's the worst trading decision you've ever made? on: March 03, 2018, 11:25:21 PM
I think my worst trading decision is EMC2. LOL. I spent about 0.2 BTC to buy EMC2 when its price was only 0.00001 BTC/EMC2 then I sold it for 0.00002 BTC/EMC2. Also I doubled all my money but if I were more patient at the time maybe I would have earned more than that 7 or 8 times cause only 1 month after that EMC2 price rised to more than 0.0001 BTC Sad
Well, that is if the OP is talking about signals gotten from indicators, Technical analysis and Fundamental analysis.

In this case, I am sure the OP is referring to Telegram signals where someone calls the shot and the followers do the usual thing which is to follow blindly. That is a huge problem for someone who wants to trade, because there is no way they cannot end up losing a lot at the end. It is always good to have the knowledge and be able to make decision without being told what to do.
Those are probably nothing more than pump and dump groups but people should know better if I knew what a coin will do before it happened I will not share that information with anyone I will probably bet the farm in that trade and become incredible wealthy overnight so it is obvious most signals groups have to be a scam, there is no other way around it.
995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: IOTA a best investment to put $1000? on: March 03, 2018, 11:14:39 PM
The cryptocurrency market is a bear market recently,so I don't recommend that you invest more money, you should learn to wait, because I think the price of all tokens, still to fall, so wait for a lower price in considering the purchase.
The bear market s precisely when you should be buying coins, this is when the coins are cheap and people that are scared begin to sell their coins for ridiculous low prices, if you get the coins now the only thing you need to do is to hold for months and you will probably be in profit and if you hold until the next bull market your earnings will be amazing.
996  Economy / Economics / Re: Positive thinking brings positive things. on: March 02, 2018, 11:40:05 PM
Positive thinking allows us to be upset not so strongly in case of the negative moments and to rejoice sincerely to a positive. Life shall bring joy, but not turn into sad pacing from point to point.
But we still need to have our feet on the floor, we cannot get excited about each little positive thing that bitcoin does, we need a realistic view of what it is happening if we do not then we run the risk of taking bad decisions based on or prejudices about what it is happening, we need to exercise moderation, we cannot let negative feelings to overtake us but letting positive feelings to overtake us is not that much better.
997  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin going the Silver Way on: March 02, 2018, 11:36:20 PM
In 2012, there were lots of talks about "Buy 1 ounce silver. End the Fed". Then Silver price crashed from $50/ounce to $9/ounce.  Angry


Let that be a lesson never buy something which is being hyped in the media, most of the time when that happen it is too late and the asset will crash sometime later, bitcoin is not exception to this, when the price was growing almost everyday in December there was a lot of hype that should have been an indication the price was close to crashing and as we know it did, now there is no much hype and this tell us this is a good moment to buy.
998  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I Received An Email From MyEtherWallet on: March 02, 2018, 11:31:48 PM
I received an email from MyEtherWallet to claim some tokens of an airdrop I joined. Hovering my mouse over the link,  I discovered it's a link to another cgi scripted site.

Interestingly you don't create MEW wallets using email addresses.

Guys be careful and be vigilant.
Myehterwallet is never going to send you an email, first of all how do they got your email to begin with? The most likely reason is that you are the subject of a scam, do not open that email again, do not click in any link and if possible block the email sender and never open again an email like that or you will lose your coins and never see them again.
999  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: PLEASE LET ENCOURAGE THE MARKET BY START BUYING AND STOP SELLING: on: March 02, 2018, 11:27:19 PM
The governments is now happy because our leaders has learned to controls cryptocoins market by creating panic through using regulations to attacked bitcoin and blockchain technology.
I think the only way we can proof to governments that bitcoin is decentralized and governments cannot control it  like our current financial system is to buy and hold our coins. When you sell outside your immediate need you are are helping governments to fight bitcoin!

we cant blame people if they sell , we have different needs in our life and the only thing for the others is to supply it by using bitcoin so how they will be able to hold if they have something to buy . Only big whales has the ability to do that for me .
The OP does not know that the market is generally influenced by the whales. They know how to read emotions from the charts, they know what to do to drive the market down or up since they know when there are weak hands in the market and they take that to their advantage. Also, this is even much needed for the market anyway, bitcoin right now needed that correction and at least for now, we can breathe fine and know where next we are heading to.
It is really not that difficult, after all they already control most of the coins in the market and that means they can manipulate the price as much as they want, when there is a new development they do their best to pump the price and when a significant amount of weak hands have entered the market they crash it, they earn money in the way up and in the way down and become even bigger after each cycle.
1000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: KYC of bounty hunters on: March 02, 2018, 11:23:30 PM
Personally i felt kyc for bounty participant is not really necessary since they are not investor. Anyways that has now been the new rule of the day even airdrop participants are also mandated to do so before receiving anything from them

airdrop and my data.  Wink Wink Wink  I would never give my dates. no one knows who makes the airdrop but we should send our data? no thanks. but almost all airdrops are scam and therefore I do not care. I buy my token from the bounty cheap at the exchange. then I do not need a KYC and no shit airdrop  Grin
This is going to be the contrary force against KYC attempts, especially once decentralized exchanges become the norm. Startups that want more funds will either require incredible reputation (e.g. be a globally reknowned company) or otherwise not ask for KYC, even if just for smaller investments (which enables multiple accounts).
Yeah let other people go through the trouble of going through KYC while we buy the tokens from them, this is a far better deal in my opinion, of course you need money to do that but if we take into account you can get those tokens with a huge discount once all the bounty holders being to sell their coins then that small inconvenient becomes very small when compared to going through KYC and losing your data to scammers.
