You know there is one point you would have gotten to in the market, which you will not even be worrying yourself about what is going on right now. For what it is worth, the way things are now, I would rather let the market give more bonuses and take as much time as it wants to recuperate in the long run.

One sure thing I will not be missing with the market going down like this is to buy more at the dip. A lot of people may start getting themselves worried and worked up unnecessarily, but this is the time to be getting all happy for at least being able to hold more for the future.

Still bitcoin. IOTA is great and all but I do not really believe in that project all too well.

I think it is a bit more complex and requires a bit more challenges to overcome before it can be worth what it is already priced at. However bitcoin is incredibly cheap for what it is and how much it is known so if I could buy $10k more into bitcoin I totally would. I think if given the option I would prefer ethereum right now though. I know question is bitcoin vs iota but ethereum blows both of them out of the water for me.

It is both known a lot like bitcoin and also provides a lot more solutions. I think ethereum at 130 dollars is insanely cheap and even makes losses for miners right now which it can't sustain for a long time so it will have to go back up one day.

What I even loved more about the whole thing is the fact that the punk himself, which in this case referring to Roger, had a taste of his own medicine and that is something I was actually hoping will end up happening right from time and getting him even more screwed.

Sometimes, I keep asking how long he is going to keep fooling around before realizing he does not even have a chance. Like you said, BCH became practically dead to me right from the onset, and no matter how hard Roger tried to pump it to make it gain relevance, that only put it more in the shitcoin category. Even as it is now, it is pretty much overvalued. It should be less than 0.00000001 usd.

They are 100% right about the big companies getting in as the next logical step for crypto assets. First of all the reason why bitcoin got so high last year was because people who did not heard about bitcoin got into bitcoin last year. The number of people who know what bitcoin and crypto was got so high that the price reflected that interest.

Back in the day when prices moved from couple hundred to a thousand or anything before the reason was not enough people knew what bitcoin was and now they know what bitcoin is and the price increases. Now everyone knows bitcoin, there is not a single soul who doesn't know what bitcoin is. Which shows that if even grandma's heard about bitcoin, there is no more individual participation that will increase the price.

Right now, the next logical big step we can have is the huge financial companies getting in and making the market alive again.

At least, if you are a long term investor, the only thing to be doing now if you know you cannot control your emotions is to make sure you are off the charts and you really do not have anything doing at all with it at the moment, but that does not mean you should stay away from the news, to at least keep tabs with what is going on, so you can at least even have an idea once the market is showing good sign of recovery.

At this stage now, if you are not bold enough to focus on the future, you might end up making some mistakes you would not like later on.

In most cases it depends on how you want to actually see that reality. Do you want to be seeing a bad one or a market with an opportunity ? So you see, reality can always come in different ways but that would be dependent on how you have your whole goal planned out.

Yes, the market condition may be a bad one for some people now, based on where they got into the market, but at the same time, I really do not see it as anything bad for those who are smart enough to know that this is a market with a great opportunity to be investing more for the long term. It all depends on you as an individual.

Maybe in USA it might work considering there are really shady healthcare stuff going on there but in general other countries already solved many of the healthcare problems so I do not think it would be wise to spend so much time on implementing blockchain into healthcare if it is not going to help them that much.

I mean if USA decides to make one for themselves, sure other countries could give it a try but they don't need it to create it themselves. USA have charges like 20 thousand dollars for a root canal or 500 thousand dollars for cancer treatment and so forth, those are basically "please die" from the governments and hospitals. Why would anything charge that much ?

It worths fraction of what they are charging. I have actually seen a hospital charging a couple for holding their new born baby titled "skin to skin care". Any wise rich person in a such ruthless capitalist system should start opening smaller cleaner and leaner hospitals charging less and make it a whole country and they can make a lot of money if they just undercut each other.

Let's even imagine you did not end up selling, it still does not mean a thing. If market is dropping now, what anyone should be trying to do now is to make sure they get into the market to at least gain a lot in the long term. There is nothing as interesting as buying the dips, but you will never be able to have that mindset if you close your mind to the future.

As long as the market keep giving me bonuses like this, I am sure not going to be wasting it for anything. This is the time I look for a good time to be buying in, and for what it is worth, we sure should be seeing some move pretty soon. I even like the fact that the market is giving us this so we can just get over with the whole bear trend once and for all and get the weak hands packing.

Not exactly one but about three people. There are people from the bitcoin.com side, Roger Ver and Jihan Wu, they are quite rich and run a bitcoin.com website with pool and the mining they are doing with a bunch of miners they sold, the "bitmain" guys who keep on making new products and use them first, make money from them and sell them when they start to barely make any money at all. They are horrible and they are useless shady scammy people.

On the other hand there is a lunatic called Craig who himself said he was Satoshi until he was proven wrong and he has a ton of money as well (well ton of bitcoin) which he uses to fight these people, he is a lunatic because he thinks the only right possible things are the ones he says, everyone else who is not him is wrong. Now, when you put one money crazy greedy person against a person who only accepts himself as right, you get a war.

A pretty huge test, not just for holders, but for real believers, which I believe for any real believer right now, they will most definitely be trying as much as possible to take advantage of the market trend by accumulating while some other people are busy complaining.

I know it is a whole lot different considering how some people must have bought the peaks. However, let's imagine in the real world, you are a retailer, and then all of a sudden where you buy goods from decided to do a promo at a lot cheap price. Would you not be buying and stashing up as much as you can until the promo ends, and by then you will be selling at a good profit? Possibly, if people can, then they should approach market this way.

It was always dead. It never really existed at all. There are rich people who keep on mining their own coins and buying and selling their own coins because they believe their coins will worth something one day but in reality the coins are worthless.

Whenever you bought bitcoin cash back in the day you bought it with the knowledge that Roger Ver and Jihan Wu will not let it die like other coins and that is why you actually spent money on it, and whenever you sold your bitcoin cash there was a big chance one of those guys actually bought it. The buyer market of bitcoin cash is consisting of very few number of people and than bitcoin.com dudes.

Now, Craig is in play and they are fighting with each other and spending so much money but believe me no matter who wins the coin will not worth anything and will slowly die one day.

When you want to do something, there is always every need to draft out a plan, isn't it? Otherwise, you will realize that without a good well thought out plan, your chances of failing will be more than winning. That is exactly how trading is, it is a profession, it is a project, it is an investment, and you can call it whatever you think, and in things like this, the necessity to have a plan is something you will always need to have in mind so that you can make good calls based on those plans and have your strategy well executed. If you fail to do that, you will most definitely be ushering yourself into the road of failure in the long run.

When you have a plan, you will always be able to make good decisions based on those plans and this is the main reason why plans are always very important. A lot of people today tend to approach trading as if they are gambling, but we are talking about a market here in which you will have to be making a lot of decisions, and without a good plan and strategy, there is no way you will be able to make solid decisions without having to put emotion based on the level at which the market can operate at times with respect to its volatility.

That is obviously a threat towards a company or an organization that puts dictatorship levels to test. US should not be capable of sanctioning companies for working with Iran, you can have a beef with Iran, I can understand that, countries sometimes do not treat each other well and there are even wars but even without a war you can be just enemies from afar, that is what we called cold war, nobody died in cold war but it was a war.

US is more than welcome to have another cold war and this time select Iran as enemy or do whatever but as soon as they start throwing other people under the bus and force them to choose sides that's tyranny. Of course swift would choose the USA side because they would make more money from USA instead of Iran but they do not want to do such a thing, they just want to conduct business but forced to choose sides.

That is the spirit every single person should be having. Basically, as long as you understand the long term potential of the market, and you know you certainly have a lot to gain in the long term than lose in the short term, when situations like what we are having in the market now comes, you will really not be bothering yourself at all, and in fact, you will be seeing it as a means to buy more for the long run instead.

This is something obvious to everyone that the market is growing, and possibly I see this dips as an entrance for the institutions, and it is only if you want to be regretting why you bail out as a result of panic in the long run, that you will be selling now.

It is okay to lose time to time. Believe me even the most successful people lose money in trading.
Look at the historical data for warren buffet, even he lost money in couple of the years over his decades of trading.

Obviously, there is no guarantee that you will be a great trader and you will make a lot of money with this, maybe you are not set to do this and you are really bad at it but in the long run there is still a chance for you to achieve what you are trying to do.

Do not forget one eternal truth, there are two types of traders, one wants to be a successful financial employee, he wants to learn more about finance and wants a career out of trading in general, the other one wants to buy and sell things to make money and become rich. If your aim is to be rich than you will fail, if you want a career out of this you will become much better in the long run with the things you learn along the way.

What is it with you and spamming the forum with this CanYa coin? When it comes to making a trade, it is always important for anyone to try as much as possible to do research on their own, on what they want to trade, how they want to be trading it and how they want to be strategizing while doing so.

I am not against your CanYa coin, but what you are doing right now, even makes it more of a suspect as far as I am concerned. You really do not need to announce it too much all over the forum, if it is a good coin, people will definitely get to see it and take advantage of it without you telling them. You cannot be the one to tell people the coin that will make them rich because no one will know and promising riches is not the thing, what exactly does this coin have to offer in the real world ?

One of the most important ones is the number three which says never put all your investments in one place, that is the most important one but also very important when its crypto vs other stuff as well.

You don't have to put all your money into crypto neither, you can put some of your money in something else as well, putting all your money into crypto is not a smart move because crypto moves all together and when it goes down than all coins go down, check out stock markets and possible other stuff as well. I would say seven is another important one, when you are too greedy you tend to wait for x100 to come when you can get out at x2 easily , x2 is so much profit in any other business but when the bull comes in crypto people see x2 as something small.

Never trade something you do not know. Never trade with someone you never met. Never trust anyone you do not personally know, most of the time don't trust people you personally know neither. Bitcoin is a very dangerous thing when it comes to scamming, so when you deal with bitcoins or any other crypto, know that there is a big chance that the smaller an investment looks the bigger the chance for scam.

There have been huge amount of scams as well but if you look at the numbers the people who keep stealing couple hundred from many people have actually scammed more than people who scam tens of thousands of dollars. The big ones get arrested or sued and what not, small ones get away with it because they only steal couple hundred bucks from you and you do not follow through with it.

Bitcoin has a lot of options for other entertainment stuff for you, why select trading as entertainment. I would say trading is not really entertaining because most of the time when you decide to trade there are too many variables that might change everything at any given time, considering you will be doing a lot of work to find which way a coin might be going is already a lot of effort for someone to consider it entertaining it would put on an extra stress when it goes sideways and not how you expected because some country did something silly.

I would say try to focus on blockchain games of late, they have started out way differently at early days but right now they have been going great, you do not have to work towards making money with it, which you can but you don't have to focus on that, you can focus on just having fun and that would be entertaining.

Aside from masternodes and staking the freebitco.in also presents a 4% yearly return for your bitcoin as well.

I understand putting your money into a "casino/faucet/lottery" and whatever else they are might seem risky but they have been around for a long long time now and never had any issues with anyone, even coinbase the company that started an office in Ireland and now starting one in New York with potentially a new one in Dubai (which all tells you how huge they are considering they are already in silicon valley) had a lot of complaints from customers who keep saying their money got stuck in coinbase but you can't find a single one for freebitco.in which tells you all you need to know about if you could trust them. 4% may seem low but that is up to you to decide.
