As far as I know, BNB is an ERC20 token based on the Ethereum blockchain, so BinanceCoin is highly unlikely to beat ETH. Ethereum is a platform for hundreds of different tokens and many people use this ecosystem every day.

A few months ago, BNB developers launched Binance DEX but in my opinion this decentralized exchange still does not look attractive to large investors. Some teams are now running their IEOs on the Binance and other crypto-currency exchanges so undoubtedly this is an advantage for the BNB price. Frankly, I do not believe that the BNB capitalization will surpass the ETH capitalization.

I think the Chinese government can really ban Bitcoin mining. In September 2017 they already threatened miners by blocking network connections on their border firewall. Therefore, I assume that this government will strengthen the pressure on the crypto-currency industry in the future.

The volume of the mining hardware sales is really huge (more than 2 billion dollars) so the Chinese government probably wants this market to stop growing. As an option, such a way they try to force Chinese miners to sell their hardware to other miners living in foreign countries.

In any case, in April 2020 the Bitcoin mining reward will be halved so miners will not be able to earn a lot of BTC coins.

I was surprised when Bitcoin SV dropped 20% two days ago. This dump shows the importance of listing on large crypto-currency exchanges such as Binance.

Yes, Binance periodically conducts reviews checking compliance with the requirements of the listed coins. I think they might also consider the following two factors:

I'm sure Craig is not Satoshi. His public behavior in social networks is inappropriate, IMO.

Today is April 1st. This is a joke.

Have fun!

Since all crypto-currency transactions must be signed and broadcast to the network in order to be included in a blockchain block, sending payments via BTC or ETH may be more complicated for new users. Alternatively, these new crypto-currency holders can initially use a "light" wallet with a friendly web interface instead of a "cold" wallet based on the core application with the blockchain downloaded. Of course, the "cold" wallet is more safe and secure than a "light" wallet which is often backed by some services. I personally store my coins and tokens in "cold" wallets so that no one steals my funds.

I often trade my ERC20 tokens on Etherdelta but I never enter the private key for my Ethereum address because I do not trust their website which can be hacked. I always use the Metamask plugin installed in my web browser.

Some naive customers enter their private keys on the Etherdelta site, so the administrators of this decentralized crypto-currency exchange may be collecting these keys. Thus, theoretically, you can try to ask your private key from them, but I am pretty sure they will reject your request because Etherdelta has a good reputation.

Your trading strategy is interesting but in my opinion, your tactics can lead to losses if you do not read the news and monitor the current situation on the entire crypto-exchange market.

I do not like to hold coins without solid reasons so I personally prefer to quickly make profits. I just try to hear rumors and buy a promising crypto-currency. Then I wait for the growth of its price, for example, by 10-15%. I often place the trailing orders to gain a maximal profit.

I believe that it is necessary to know how will the coin you bought will be improved by its team in the future.

I am impressed with your useful thread, OP. Good work.

Not always. On decentralized exchanges some traders occasionally sell crypto-currencies to themselves in order to show fake price transactions to other people or due to personal reasons.

Yes, this is a big disadvantage of DEXes. Perhaps it is possible to securely aggregate all the liquidity of such exchanges into one large pool but in this case a customer must have a deposit on each of these decentralized exchanges.

I guess that the Bakkt developers will postpone the launch of Bitcoin futures until the summer 2019. Their decision mainly depends on the situation in the global crypto-exchange market. I'm glad to hear that they focused on Bitcoin as a highly-liquid commodity recognized by CFTC.

In any case, the company will release their product someday. I believe and hope that this new trading asset will become a strong driver for growing Bitcoin.

I really like to see how Ethereum rises in the crypto-exchange markets. Of course, the upcoming hard fork called Constantinople affects the ETH price so Ethereum is growing from $80 to $150. I do not think that the price will fall again to $80 in the near future because according to the road map, the developers want to introduce very useful improvements to the Ethereum blockchain and its consensus.

I'm wondering why some services have temporarily stopped withdrawing Ethereum coins from accounts of the customers. They are probably worried about the safety of ETH coins.

Traders like to make a profit. That is why they like so volatile crypto-currency exchange markets. I am also surprised that BCH today grew by 45%. Frankly, I'm not sure that the coin prices will skyrocket further. In my opinion, the bull run should last at least 5 days. I expect the bears will be back soon so I'm ready to sell my crypto-currencies again. This market situation looks strange. I supposed that people would cash their coins to celebrate the upcoming holidays.

To be honest, I'm not surprised that the ETH price has dropped to 90 dollars. A few months ago there were many rumors about Ethereum. The developers of this crypto-currency say that infinite inflation is normal. I absolutely disagree with this statement. The total number of ETH coins should be limited to, for example, 120 millions coins. In this case, Ethereum can have a good future and its price will not fall every month. I suppose that the next level of support for Ethereum will be 80 dollars.

You have a good tactics. I also use the Metamask plugin installed in the internet browser to sign ETH transactions. In addition, I do not store all my ETH coins and ERC20 tokens in the same Ethereum address. I usually divide my funds between different ETH addresses. I store private keys on my computer in a password keeper encrypted with my master password.

The best way is to use an offline Ethereum address generator. Often such an application can compose a new ETH transaction. It is secure and safe.

As I understand after reading this article, the Shenzhen court recognized Bitcoin as a legal asset that people may own, transfer and utilize. There is no information about other crypto-currencies but I guess that now all highly rated coins are also legal assets in China.

I'm sure that this is a step in the right direction. The Chinese government was too tough when in 2017 they suddenly banned the crypto-exchange markets. I suppose that now they see how the top rated crypto-currencies thrive and many people from all over the world start adopting Bitcoin and other coins therefore government decided to loosen the severe regulations in this new economic field.

I tend to agree with you. Ethereum has infinite inflation and its miners receive new ETH coins every day. Ethereum miners will always be receiving at least 5 ETH for each block added to the blockchain. Thus, they generate approximately 1225 ETH per hour or 29400 ETH per day. These coins are transferred to crypto-exchange markets and are sold there. Large investors should buy 29400 ETH, spending about 5.88 million dollars every day just to stabilize the Ethereum price. I think that Ethereum will drop to 170$ again in the future. It is imminent.

To handle tough times in crypto-currency you need to sell all your coins and tokens before their prices fall in crypto-exchange markets. In this case your psychological state will be fine, and you will not call these times tough. On the contrary, you will probably wait for a good opportunity to buy some promising crypto-currencies again.

Personally I sell my coins even if I am wary of a bear market coming soon.

The market of altcoins is already broken. Ethereum fell down to 170 dollars and now it costs about 210 dollars. It seems that ETH is not a lucrative coin.

I'm astonished by Ripple. This crypto-currency is growing +25%. Now XRP is already rated second by capitalization. People say this is a coin approved by banks.

In my opinion, the second item is incorrect. Typically, the coin price on the crypto-exchange markets drops to -20% and then bounces back to +10% or higher because many investors start buying cheap coins. You need to figure out the current trend of the price movement. If you are sure that the circumstances are negative, sell your crypto-currency immediately. Do not sell coins at low prices if you are in doubt.

My trading strategy is based on scalping, sometimes I use an arbitrage tools. I trade many crypto-currencies simultaneously. I often follow the news from the teams of the coins that I bought.

Bitcoin is the old school crypto-currency. Any other crypto-currency is considered an altcoin. Some of these alternative coins are technically improved on the blockchain and have many advantages over BTC. Almost all the top altcoins solve some problem and are used in their own area of the ecosystem. Therefore I think that some promising projects will survive but Bitcoin will still remain the "flagship" of the crypto-currency world.

Some exchanges support the "trailing stop" function. It can be used as a stop-loss feature. You set a bid order for selling your coins. Also you define the sell value which should be below the market price by several percent. The trailing stop follows the market price if it grows. When this price is reduced to the value you defined, this order is completed. Thus the exchange can automatically sell your crypto-currency and you do not need to watch the coin price and be aware of the current positive movement trend.
