What if trading in Bitcoin was your source of income?

You need a bot to perform this on a daily basis.

Get big on good days and low on bad days. keep safe the rest.

Don't fret on missing pumps. You'll coin will be next.

And don't announce to the world that bitcoin trading is your only source.

The markets are getting worse and worse as the days are getting worse. We can say that Etherum is experiencing a much more radical decline. But most importantly, how will the Altcoins recover after this hour.





Most (nearly all) altcoins will not recover.  The ecosystem cannot sustain them.

The market is in a bear phase, and will be for the rest of 2018 at least.

But you know don't you, that if I was ever to sell a big portion of my bitcoin, the market would take an amazing turn upwards and go to new all-time-highs, and I would never want to buy back in.  It's the rule of perfectly bad market timing.  And I would be able to brag that I sold at the exact bottom.  That is why I will hold regardless of where the price goes.

Yes, no doubt correct. ... and you are not ready to sell yet, but would be more ready at say $2500.

The key thing now (and it will prove impossible for most people) is to accept that whatever you hold will decline in $ price by another 75% (making 90% decline in total), and that will take place in a grinding downwards pattern, including long counter-trend rallies, spread over ~2 years.

Too difficult for most ppl to accept. Best course is to go away and do something else for a while.

I have made money from the last bull run and withdrawn it into my bank to not care about this drop. One thing I am certain, I will buy back when the market is favorable. I have small orders already filled but big ones waiting at the very bottom. Dont be scared. Bitcoin from the very start is like this. We've seen worse. It will recover.

We have been laughing at fund managers and analysts from Wall Street, but are they really trying to spread FUD or are they telling us the truth that we cannot accept?

Also, has the bubble not already burst or is Allianz's Stefan Hofrichter trying to tell us that it might fall some more?



"It appears to us that bitcoin mania is a textbook-like bubble – and one that is probably just about to burst," the asset manager's head of global economics and strategy, Stefan Hofrichter, said in an online post distributed Friday. "As a currency and asset class, bitcoin has potentially fatal flaws – which is why we believe it's a matter of when, not if, the bitcoin bubble will pop."

Bitcoin has fallen sharply since leaping 2,000 percent in the 12 months through December to a record high above $19,000. The cryptocurrency was trading near $8,700 on Wednesday, according to CoinDesk's bitcoin price index.

The cryptocurrency "ticks all of the boxes that we consider to be essential criteria of any asset bubble," including a fivefold surge in trading volumes over the last five years, lack of financial regulation and the launch of related financial instruments such as bitcoin futures, the Allianz report said.

It is common and ordinary to traders to get carried by emotions when things are not going their way. It also hurt a lot when you invested a lot like you want to curse and shill everyone on your reach. My guess is, this Allianz dude got carried by emotions, invested into bitcoin and bite into the first drop last December hoping to double or triple. Now that price is declining, he got scared and sold at great loss hoping to buy back at lower price. It hurts.

Welcome to crypto's!

If gox coins going auction, I would love to bid. Of course, just crumbs, if they will open.  Wink

My first bag already full. Few more bags waiting below. What caused this drop? Gox? There's not much fud unlike the week when it drops from 20k to 11k.
I thought we're already on smooth sailing from last week's bull.

Bitcoin is really full of surprises!

+ lots more Russian advisories on ICOs

China's blockchain solution is checkpointing. There are many blockchains with that kind of scaling solutions. One of the best I've seen is PascalCoin. Literally instant sync(less than 3mins with entire blockchain history on it), and with their "Safebox", the blockchain data will not grow more than 1GB for decades. They can run it on androids if their devs are wise enough.

As long as you see it as just a payment network, or a financial protocol you will have trouble seeing it's true potential. It is a protocol that enables digital scarcity in a decentralized manner without the need for trust. It allows for hard promises. After a few blocks a transaction is effectively irreversible. So it has to be extremely expensive to 'overwrite history'. I mean overwhelmingly expensive. It's a feature, not a bug.

Will this scale to the entire population. Of course not! Nobody is saying it will not change and evolve. The current implementation is great for a settlement layer while the LN would be used as a payment network.

We have been running out of IPv4 addresses for the last 30+ years, but things still work. People have been hard at work and incrementally IP was able to handle more and more devices (Address Classes, Classless Inter-Domain Routing, NAT, ...). Wink

You praise the blockchain technology in general Smiley Bitcoin doesn't equal the blockchain technology. I see that the blockchain technology isn't dependent on bitcoin and bitcoin value isn't guaranteed by the blockchain technology.
I think that you are bringing forward first mover advantage with the e-mail comparison. That the e-mail protocols mostly remained the same and this will probably make bitcoin remain dominant also.
I think e-mail can't be compared because of the simple nature of the problem they were solving. You can't exactly re-invent something as simplistic as a wheel. This new field of cryptos or financial protocols are a lot more complex and can improved a lot by re-inventive improvement. We have seen radical development with new generation cryptos in terms of speed, costs and practical usability.

@Jacques_Bittard  please post your BTC address.

It seems the "old ones" doesn't understand what bitcoin is or the whole cryptocurrency. The so called experts are also old and calling all fud against bitcoin. Yet almost all crypto enthusiasts are the younger generation, mid 30's and below. There is the barrier. The technological gap between old and young. Give it a few years when we "young" are the old, then we'll see it flourish.

Early 30's here.  Wink

There is something terribly wrong about roach. We should segregate him because he is clearly becoming a danger to the community. Here and in real life. With a mind twisted as that, don't think he could contribute anything good to the society.

Your prodigious mewling to try and brainwash casual observers into ideologies easily exploited by (((international financiers))) like leftism or neoconservatism is ineffective.  Even the founders of America themselves were white nationalists.  What is this?  An insult claiming, "You remind me of George Washington.  How evil!".  Many were also opposed to allowing Jews in because they knew they would attempt to form a state within a state and practice subterfuge against the rest of the inhabitants.  It appears you have a very un-American viewpoint.

Just don't like people with oozing negativity like you.

All the news bout bitcoin being banned is what bitcoin is all about. Its not to be controlled by any entity. Its decentralized by nature, any one can participate. Yes there is risk and that is for the participant to take.
There is fear above all other worries on institutions bitcoin being the better alternative of them. Their usefulness is being tested, banks especially. Hence, trying to kill it by preventing those they can control from participating.

Threat of livelihood is on the line. That's how low they will go to suppress BTC's growth.

Nothing surprising.

Once bitcoin moons again these regulatory bodies will come after all exchanges again. They think something shady is going on the exchange when in fact the regulatory bodies are the shady ones.

Where is the bull? I cant find it.

I have also moved sizable amount tether from POLO to Bittrex and to other exchanges. I see no problem there.
77  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 22, 2017, 04:06:52 AM
Im buying all I have on the exchange as well. I shorted when it was going up to 19k now its buy  back time. Support looks good on 13k level.

Someone/somebody is dumping so hard. I repeatedly put the same order and got filled. Its a battle. Lets go!  Grin
78  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 21, 2017, 02:12:43 AM
Are we in for another wild ride? BTC is pumped, alts down, then alts being pumped atm. What's next? June 2017 we saw a good pump and dump and slump. Are we being setup again for the same?  Huh
79  Economy / Speculation / Re: The rally will eventually end with a dip to at least $3K on: December 05, 2017, 02:24:59 AM
Bitcoin will never fall under 5k again. Those days are gone. Too much new money, adoption, and growth.

Why? Anytime I've ever seen anyone make a comment like this, they were dead wrong. People with that attitude bought at $800, $600, $400 and ridiculed bears for two years before the market finally bottomed in 2015.

The bottom is always much lower than you can imagine, which is why disbelief is so strong once the market starts rallying again. Bitcoin was growing exponentially back in 2013 too, and we still returned to the mean.

I don't know about $3000, but I wouldn't rule it out.

I beg to disagree. 2017 is not 2013. what more is 2018. Back then, there were only a few of us in this forum and people perception of bitcoin was nothing  but a scam.
People are getting aware. The greed of a few back then will not reflect this time.

There's no other way but up. Look at the trade stats. Where is is coming from, where are the volume? I feel sorry for those who want to buy at 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k but hesitated. This wont go back that low.

Why would you buy futures when you can purchase the actual bitcoin?

Its true someone/group are accumulating and price drop attempt has been negated by another purchaser. The CME group are going to sell nothing. They wont matter.
