It depends though on the level of investment and the level of adoption by new investors. Normally prices can only be affected by a huge demand and in the case where we get to see some level of mass adoption, sure they are all new investors and we can get to see the price affected as what reflects generally in the outer world will be effected one way or the other in the trading world. Nevertheless, without new investors or the ones in the system trading, there would not be any price movement but since it is a market, it is normal to see this.

Well, in this context, there is nothing like luck since the OP simply referred to trading. I believe luck is how you are able to use your own wisdom to utilize what is available to you by learning first and doing it well. In trading, knowledge comes first, and luck may come in picking a coin that can actually hit a big one than you would have imagined. Now, those are totally two different things, because if you believe in luck to make trade decisions, then you could as well just go give your funds to charity.

If you want to be investing in a shit forked coin of bitcoin which is listed on several shitty exchanges, then be my guest to be ready to lose all that you are investing in a short time. Come on! I really do not know if guys like you do not always do research before making any investment in the first place ?

I know asking here may be one, but it is always better to have your own outright decision to make instead of seeking for opinions. BCD is a shit coin, and unless you want to be back here in the next few months, throwing darts at the community, then you should better stay away.

Yes, since they have a huge position, they just know how to call the shots on the market knowing how traders and investors are going to be reacting to it. The thing with the market is that even as traders, all we are doing is an educated gambling, and whales are really the ones making the huge profit at the end of the day but there is really nothing we can do about it.

Asides that though, I want to believe that the market is purely speculative at the moment, and it is just the way it is! If there is a huge demand generally in the outer world (by this, I mean outside the trading world), we would not be seeing the market this way.

That is pretty much a very good advice right now, most especially when a lot of uncertainty is surrounding bitcoin and personally, I am holding just very few coins now until I see the trend fully changing.

Most of the altcoins are showing sign of recovery though and looking like they really want to bounce, but with the whole level of uncertainty in the market, it is a hard one to really gamble. Let's just see how things will be turning out pretty soon with bitcoin which seems to be knocking on lower doors.

Always the easy way out. A lot of people stress themselves emotionally trying to assume what becomes of the market in the long run and forgetting why they should be more focused on the future and the long term prospect of what they are holding. There are a lot of potential and the fact that development is not going to end up lagging, is one thing that would make growth not to stop and that alone should make anyone believe in the rise in the long run.

Very funny, honestly. People like you really do not surprise me anyway since your name implies you have been under hill. All the above, I am not sure we can ever get to this stage at all and that would really end up showing how weak the market is in a case like that.

Moreover, there is simply nothing to make the market get down to that level and everything you have said is basic shit. The market may be volatile and we get to see lower days, but who cares anyway, as those who are smart enough will just keep seeing it as a chance to buy more.

No matter what, no exchange should be considered safe as long as they are centralized and the most important thing is to never leave your assets in them unless you have intention of trading them if you do not want to end up being screwed like the days of MtGox and the likes. The thing is that they may promise to be using a high level of security, but does this really guarantee anything much except to be at the mercy of the exchanges not having a loop hole and make them vulnerable to being hacked ? I doubt .

A lot of advantages that so many people are trying to tap into. This is a decentralized world and it has really made a lot of things pertaining investment easy even though still a lot risky except for now though, that things are gradually beginning to change with regulations.

Although, these opportunities, such as ICO investments, trading, holding for the long term, transacting without border barriers, having full control are all the things that makes it a lot interesting for anyone to want to be a part of and who is that smart person that would not want to ?

In some scenario,, they have forgotten that people are getting smarter and wiser by the day. If bitcoin were to be long gone with FUDs, we should even have nothing left or probably we would all be bag holding right now.

They know that, they are not happy they missed the show; they are scared they are going to miss out but they do not want to be buying at a huge price which they will still have to pay for it eventually. The end of the cinema is going to resort to them getting in when they are sure there is no more room to go down and the weak hands crying wolf based on how they have been deceived.

Sorry bro, but the thing is you really do not have any case if you are not calling out the culprits. Still, that is actually one of the craziness that comes with bounty hunting and another thing is that any team that actually does not fulfill their end of the bargain for those who promoted the project are definitely just selfish and little things like this may count for future investors anyway except they have something really good to dish out. However, just move on, some will give you what you are entitled to and some will not. Shit happens everywhere...

Nothing is tied to the Asian market as we always try as much as possible to look for something to tie to every drop.
If the market was due for correction and then it comes, we just simply assume that there is something negative going on.

Traders react all the time to a market and that is all that it is, and that does not stop the fact that the same way we can get to see a downtrend is the same way we can also get to see an uptrend and vice versa, so it is left for each individual to know how to play smart.

We sure are all hoping for the best, but generally I have never been a fan of all these guys that just want to be predicting the future like they are God or something. No matter the proof these guys think they have, it is all just some form of hope and we can only get to know how things end up when the time comes.

For now, let's just stick to the present moment. Yes, it is good to hope for the best, but timing when the best will come is just what I personally do not prefer. In the long term, I am bullish, but how long it is going to take, is only the business of time.

That is definite but when is absolutely what no one can tell. We could end up having some little bit of growth for a while and we may end up having a dramatic fall, but at the end, all totally depends on time and how things will end up sufficing. No one knows anything for now and the market is really centered on a lot of FUD as a result of so many things with most of it being the MtGox palaver. We still have time in our hands to see how things will eventually be turning out, so let's see.

Well, we cannot just expect recovery to happen overnight. The market will always get to play around a little bit to find the next direction and all this things can get to take a while, most especially when it comes to consolidation.

Right now, this is what we are having with bitcoin and the only thing we can get to do is to wait and see how things will end up spanning out and nothing much should at least be expected for now until there is actually a clear signal and hopefully we get to see the bulls take charge, or else, we still have the bears around the corner.

This is actually a good way for most people who are just trying out trading. Buy the dips during accumulation which is easy to spot with MACD, then sell at basic support levels where there would be chances of pull backs, and then buy back again with some level of risk management, and then keep it going until you will eventually get to see some crazy FOMOs eventually.

It is a good way but it takes a lot of patience sometimes but the good thing is that in an uptrend, one can still make use of the lower time frames to trade the pull backs once in a while.

There is a difference between a smart trader and just a wannabe trader. A smart trader will take his time to understand the risk, take his time to learn how he can minimize those risk and end up getting something huge from it and as well, but a trader who just keeps hearing you can make a good profit without understanding all these things will only end up being a victim of the risk.

The fact that it is not risky does not mean you cannot trade it, but understanding what to do and putting those risk ahead when making trade decisions is always important.

Well, investing and trading are totally two different things and in this sense with the OP asking which coin to be trading is way above what he should be asking. If he is asking that based on the one that would make trading easy for him, then he is not ready to start trading, because without knowledge, he is still going to be screwed anyway. Nevertheless, if he is asking based on the fact that he does not want to trade shit coins, then that is a good way to go.

Yeah, they really do and asides from the long standing, a lot of people will really find it hard to even adapt to the usage of cryptocurrency as I see them as still living a borrowed time. Those in their late 60s are finding it hard to even conveniently get used to the internet world except for those who are really trying their best to be as updated as possible.

In this case, some may just have to accept the traditional way the way it is, let alone, those in some under developed countries who may not even have access to the infrastructures to access this technology.

I have not even seen someone who would just keep winning consistently in gambling, knowing that you are really going to be losing more than winning anyway. Moreover, it is worrying to see how people take gambling as if their life depends on it and as if it is a normal job for them and this is wrong.

As long as they can know that if they are gambling what they should be sticking their mind to is having fun and knowing how to place limits for themselves, then there is no way the negative effect of gambling would not end up surrounding their life cycle. Mostly gambling influence us in negative way both psychological and financial. Quitting gambling may save us. No other way to escape .
