I see a lot of reason in what the OP said, but the thing with bitcoin is that nothing is predictable and not everyone can actually be a trader to know when they should be cashing out once in a while or not.

It is normal to see the whales doing their thing since it is a decentralized market anyway which makes it very easy for them and with this in play, we cannot always see a constant rise since everything is based on speculation. The only time we can get to see constant rise is when the demand is really there for a long time based on real life usage and not speculations.

It does not even have to be half of the money. One can distribute them in percentage and based on the further level of decrease, keep loading up more. The thing here is that in the long run of things from this stage, any buying in for long position is definitely going to be worth it.

Nevertheless, I am sure this is only going to be done by smart investors as some even at $3k will still panic or get greedy waiting for more lows until they never end up getting it.

In fact, with the way the OP put it, one would think of a possibility of something like that but one thing I have known about all these finance dudes is that they are always strategic in their dealings and highly manipulative for their own gains which makes me believe that even Warren will not just come up one morning and buy everything at once to move the price upward but would rather keep accumulating until he is able to get a huge ground and position in the market during accumulation first which is how I believe whales play their card.

I do as well because if we really want to look at the way things are presently, it is becoming glaring that history is actually somehow beginning to repeat itself. We still have a long way to go though, anything can change at any time, but for now, we sure are on the track of history.

Nevertheless, this does not change anything and we probably are going to be hitting it anyway based on lot of technicalities, so I guess we will have to wait and see how things would evolve.

Yeah, but I would not bet so much on it until I can see some uptrend possibilities with a higher high and low, but whichever way, I am so sure NEO is going to be giving a lot this summer in terms of an upward movement. 200 usd is a lot anyway as I would not be hoping for that huge amount, but the way I am looking at it prepping up, I can see something way above $100.

I may be wrong, I may be right, but I guess we will see with time where it all ends, but whichever way, it is still going to end up being a win anyway.

If you really want to, now that the market has been down hugely for a while and in the oversold state, you may actually want to start considering accruing some. Although, we cannot say how low the market can still go lower as it is still in its downtrend anyway, but for now, I still see it as a good price to take advantage of for those who may actually want to be looking forward to a very good profit when the whole market recovers which I believe ADA will do to and $10 in 5 years is something I would not doubt at all.

The good thing about trading is that you have all it takes to be a winner most of the time and even if you are losing, you are just losing small.

I understand a lot of people consider margin trading with gambling, but that depends on each individual and how they are going about it which indeed some people are actually gambling than trading anyway since they simply have no strategy and all they do is guess work, and that is not different but in the case where they are doing it professionally with great knowledge it is a lot more than just gambling.

It is really a waste of time since you will even have to do some huge activity in most of them, no matter how little and end up getting peanut for it, but like they always say, it is free money but I feel for those who really value their time, there is really a lot to do with that time than to keep wasting on things that are irrelevant as the case may be.

There is no time to waste on just so little in this space and better to utilize it well than end up regretting it later on and like you said; bounty is even a better way to go.

Private keys are even totally different things here and for this reason I decided to print out my private keys and put them in a much secured environment while I also saved some on my email since it is the easiest to access at any point in time with maximum security on my mail.

With respect to the 2FA that the OP mentioned, I really do not expect that to be a problem since the like of Authy has a backup program inbuilt within the app itself and that makes it easy for anyone who ends up losing their device to retrieve the information present in the app back.

The issue is certainly not everyone understood the volatility of bitcoin before even investing in it.
As long as that is in play and a lot of them are looking forward to getting rich pretty fast, then that becomes a huge problem.

The thing that is important in this space is to always utilize every moment to your advantage, if you ended up buying at the peak, wait for the dip and buy more which is as simple as it gets, rather than being terrified. Bitcoin will recover and there is no doubt about that.

It was obvious this would be something to expect during the bubble phase we got into last year. As long as a real demand based on intrinsic value is not driving a market but just some level of speculation and manipulation, then it is a bubble. Bitcoin itself is not a bubble but it was bubbled and that bubble popped earlier and we are still in continuation of the burst of the bubble. It is hard to know how low this is going to get for now, but we have to wait and see.

I never accept that conclusion of "game over". We are still in the beginning of game of new history of human race. It will not end up in near future as it is evaluating itself to adopt the changes and advancements hence just a price drop will not write the last chapter of bitcoin's era.

I cannot stop laughing with that question . People tend to give advice but they really do not even have what it takes at all to give any advice which I believe they cannot even advice themselves to even make the right decisions. I really will be looking forward to that documentation as well. People just feel they can easily find recognition trying to just assume everything for the market but in the real sense, they simply do not even have what it takes to do so.

The problem is you are looking at it the wrong way, doing it the wrong way and joining airdrops for the wrong reasons.
Firstly, this is free money which you really did not work much for, so you should not be angry that the value is not what you expect now. Secondly, airdrops are just a way to build a community of holders, and if you get that idea, you will know better.

In terms of doing it the wrong way, you have been concentrating on just getting airdrops, but you have been concentrating less on getting actually from projects with at least possibility of great future in the long term.

I wonder why people look for sources to make decisions. Yes, sources can help to filter out some of the ICOs you may want to look into since the space is filled with a lot of ICO and trying to get a glimpse of what to invest in and what not to can take a lot of time.

Nevertheless, with some review websites like ICO bench, you can get to see what people are talking about or what is being listed, do further research on those ones, and see if it is worth investing or not.

Manipulation is not just possible, it is being done. Wash trading, spoofing, name them are all being done across exchanges. Do we want to talk about how the media is being used daily just to send wrong messages and even false ones to the space and you get to see people and traders acting on it pretty fast.

All those things are being done in this space already and it is a good thing that the government in a way is looking into it, but the hard part is that it is not globally regulated and with all the exchanges thereabout, it would be hard to implement.

That is why we have the trend anyway but one thing I know is that there is actually no way we can know what is coming and what is not which makes it very hard to know what decision to make most of the time and most especially when one is not a trader in the market.

However, holding is never a problem for those who do not always know what to do in the market since there is no way a market will never reach its bottom and bounce back from there anyway, which makes me believe that the best thing to do is to hold and buy more in the cases of dips in the market.

Unless he even gets lucky and he ended up investing in a coin or token that ended up shooting a lot high to the level of a 25x which I doubt is something to even expect with the way things are now and would be a very tough luck to even expect something like that to happen at all.

The problem though is that for someone like him, he does not even have the trading knowledge to even know how to at least have some increase and he is busy looking for very huge and quick profit in a short time, one reason for failure in this crypto world.

Any newbie that is even expecting to start making something huge immediately from trading is joking and that idea of wanting to get rich pretty fast is what has put a lot of them in jeopardizing their investment in the long run.

Trading comes with a lot of attention to details, learning and trying to find ways to do it better but as it is, so many newbie traders do not always want to go through that path and feel gambling their way through they are all aware of that trading will be better for their efforts. We never need to quit trading and if we are not good at trading then taking some rest may be a good solution for finding ways to make money with trading.

The value of a cryptocurrency drastically changing is not supposed to be on binance. This is a market, if the value drops and your friend ended up losing a lot of money based on some pump and dump, it is just the market your friend is holding, so rather than trying to shift the blame on binance, maybe you should ask your friend the shit coin he was holding.

It is necessary for you to know that this is a decentralized market and you do not want to be holding a coin with no team or project.

For most of the 2FA applications at least for authy, it allows you to back up all your stuff with a password which I believe with your username and your phone number, this can be retrieved easily, so I have never imagined that to be a problem in the case of me losing my phone as long as I remember every single details of my email account.

It is good though having an extra phone as a backup in cases where you end up losing one and that is reasonable as there is no harm in it.
