Wouldn't smart passive income be any passive income? If I had an income stream outside working linearly I would be extremely happy regardless of much profit flow that was.

I have a lot of plans of what to do with the Bitcoin funds I take out of the market. Some of course will get re-invested because I believe in the market and tech behind it. Some will get re-distributed and invested into other asset classes which sounds boring but I really don't fancy getting a lambo. In fact I don't plan to flash any of the money I get from crypto, I just don't see the point you are essentially just putting a target on top of your head not smart imo.

Obsidian would be my hidden gem for 2018, that is if they don't get squashed out by Telegram when they come around. Both are trying to encrypt messaging platforms, but we know which one will have more media presence and power and which one will get overlooked.

Pretty sure every trader has one time or another bought an ATH if they say otherwise they are most clearly lying. What is most paramount is that you learn from this mistake and try not making it again. As the adage goes fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

I like the concept behind QYKbar, not sure if it is the "best". In fact I will admit it isn't the best but the concept is interesting and fun and we need that sometimes in crypto more. Concept is a drinking app that allows you to save drinks basically, pretty neat idea I wonder if it can go anywhere.

I don't have altcoins for you, I barely have an altcoin I'd like to offer. Because that is above 10 years in normal time (crypto standard time runs faster) I would only advise holding onto Ethereum out of the pack. If I was feeling frisky I would say go for a privacy alt like Dash or Monero but I wouldn't feel confident in that, only investing in Ethereum for sure.

A) Check out ICO websites like ICO alert, ICO rating, ICO bench
B) Look into teams on Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter
C) See the project terms and use case to see if valid product

That is my go to check list, if that is complete I will delve further into the project. If not, I will leave it at that.

It can for sure be effective, but the problem arises for most it isn't an option. This could be for a lack of resources in computing, funds, skills, or connections even. If you lack in any of these departments it can hurt your chance to become a day trader.

While there can be an element of fun in the markets and during trading, I take my trading seriously and for the most part do not view it as a game. You can make it a game upon entering and exiting to test yourself and see if you did best but beyond that I don't see time for games here.

I have not considered that, but my time is my children's time so in essence I am investing in their future as well. Not directly, but indirectly because I also don't have any kids at the moment .

It is both, it doesn't have to be a currency for one country. That is what is unique and beautiful about Bitcoin, is that it is transnational and it has zero borders. However right now it functions more as a store of value, than currency or money.

They have to be real otherwise who invented Bitcoin and the tech that goes with it? I feel like we will never find out in our lifetimes although it would be soo cool to know who revolutionized the world for the better like this!

It is almost better to start with a small amount because that way you can get used to all the tips, trading skills, and swings while you learn the ropes. That way you will be able to inject some tough logic into your decisions when the money gets almost too much to handle.

For the average person I would advocate holding onto your Bitcoin and not trading because there is too much skill and emotion involved. For the technical, computer savvy, cold-blooded individual I would most certainly tell them to get involved in altcoins. The main thing you need is to be cool and calculated when times are tough, and most people can't do this. That is why for most I advocate just holding Bitcoin from the get go.

While it can help those who are in affluent situations I don't think it can provide much help to those not in those positions. Getting involved in this space you need a lot of computing equipment, and that stuff isn't cheap. Couple that with the fact these kids should be focusing on school, not currencies it definitely won't help them out unless they are doing math.

I haven't lost yet, nor have I gotten rich yet. If getting rich is 1 million dollars USD though, I am en route and if the trajectory holds I will be there in no time .

Other than the marinecoin spam, lol wth is that anyways. I would say TenX has a good future, not because of what has occurred obviously but because they are more focused on providing value and the realizing the price will come later. They aren't focus on the hype train like some of these coins out here are doing all day every day.

That argument is poor but can somebody explain concisely to me why this is a scam? It doesn't guarantee any profits and as far as I know it, that is the definition of a ponzi scheme or loosely anyways.

If the USA banned Bitcoin it would certainly be bad for short term sentiment, but I don't think it would change anything long term. Fundamentals would still be present and you can be sure not all USA people would get rid of their Bitcoin despite it being illegal. It would be like living in the 1920s when they outlawed alcohol, oh what fun that seemed like!

I have not and would only consider it in dire circumstances, because not in my sober and rational mind would I pay the 6-8% fees they take straight out of your pocket. Thanks but no thanks.
