For me the better it gets the more I can find users that are willing to pay for my work.

Think of it this way if there are 100 crypto users than its hard for me to find even one person who needs my work. However if there is over a million people that uses this than there is plenty of people who would be willing to pay for my work. This means the bigger crypto gets the bigger my audience gets.

At the same logic it is hard for me to ask 5 dollars for a job whereas it is easy for me to ask for 5 dollar worth of bitcoin because sending small amounts is easier. If it was 1200 dollars or whatever than it would be still easier but at least doable for fiat however smaller it gets easier for bitcoin to be used.

I would even say there is no better way to trading than the knowledge of technical analysis. A lot of people may say they do not trust in technical analysis, but that is simply because they either do not know what they are analyzing or the belief that with technical analysis, the market should just behave exactly as you want it. If things work that way, I guess we will all have been very rich by now. It is just like that in every market as TA will always be more of a guide and that is what it is.

There will always be feelings of panic because beginners like you are not taking the time to learn or they have not taken the time out to practice as much as possible to gain some confidence with their strategy before the end up rushing into trading the market. That is always a lot of problem people will never stop facing because they are so much in the mind of trying to gamble their positions in the market, and that will always not come out well for them.

FOMO is not a problem in crypto, considering the price always going up in the long term. The problem is with people having FUD and selling with loss.

The logical trading is putting money that you can lose and in the long term it will go up, if you need the money and cash out than there is a problem that you are going to deal with. If the money is not needed and you do not have to cash out in the end you always end up profiting.

There are really only a few people in crypto that lost money because they bought during December, everyone else in the world made a lot of profit but just because those who lost money we believe FUD more than FOMO.

Personally, all I do is to monitor the trend.
I am simply a swing trader and I take advantage of trend changing which happens a lot and always the best way to go when you do not have much time trying to scalp the market.

Closing long position certainly depends on my strategy as I do not always close it once, and I do that gradually, which is why I believe that as long as you have your plan and strategy and you are able to follow it through, it should always be an easy decision to make, most especially going totally out when a trend is changing.

Honestly this happened to me just recently. Dollar gained value and my country got a bit more expensive but thanks to bitcoin price being higher according to dollar price than all of a sudden even though life got more expensive here, I got more money to cover that as well.

Overall due to my country's economic state, now I am spending more but making more as well. There will be no point of debating good or bad but bitcoin proved its worth of holding it.

Inflation did happened for other people but for me it was just numbers going up from the both sides. If you keep bitcoin at bay all the time than you will not have any problem covering the inflation problems all by the increase of the price when it happens. Bitcoin goes up when dollar devalues.

Yes, we are talking about altcoins here and unless we want to start comparing their previous ATH before investing, no one can know exactly how far they would end up going before reversing at any point.

What we have is always going to be the trends, and that is all we can use to make market decisions either when it comes to buying or selling when the time comes, but for now, I guess we just have to see how things would eventually turn out, because nothing is guaranteed to how well a market moves and the best is to just diversify one's portfolio to spread the risk as well as the profits.

I keep taking breaks all the time, it depends on what month we are on. During summers I gamble more than other times, however when its September or October and so forth I play rarely.

There is a simple reason for this, fifa and nba2k comes out during September which means I play them until I am bored of them and not gamble for a long time, me and friends keep playing that until at least Christmas, however during summer we are already bored of the game and start to play less and less and eventually none, which means during summers I start to gamble because of the boredom.

These days I play so much that I do not even have enough time to play the game let alone gamble.

I may beg to differ a little though, even if I understand what you are saying, however, strategies you develop over the years from gambling might help you to some extent, but it is not like it would keep guaranteeing results forever and basically everything is still centered on luck at the end of the day. I understand that just playing the game sometimes without strategy is obviously worse than having a strategy, but relying so much on the strategy and considering hard work to help in such situation, which in this case might equal to resilience and persistence, then, i would say it could even result to a major problem.

Hmm. I really want to see how far that would get you in the long run anyway. I really do not see how some strategy can always play out in gambling, no matter the type of game you are playing, but since you said you found one, I would say you still try as much as possible to limit yourself and not put so much attention to it. Based on what the OP said though, gambling is not work and I do not see how hard work can really make much difference when it comes to gambling.

If you are looking at the official websites, whitepaper, or social media presence, those are things that can easily be bought.

However, what is very important when it comes to ICOs is to be able to identify a project with a very solid team, that looks like they are absolutely ready to work and not just because they want to make some quick bucks, and then see if there is any minimum viable product which simply shows they are really working even before the ICO, and then every other thing can come into play.

Volatility is certainly just one of its features and even as some people tend to see the negativity in that, some people certainly enjoy the volatility. It is the crypto space and it is something we obviously cannot discard and it will keep being there until maybe we start getting to see some real life usage.

I still believe in the long term of things when it comes to crypto and all that is happening are just a way to scare out the non-believers who their sole purpose of investing in the first place was to get rich overnight. It is far more than that, and for those who know those best reasons, they certainly will not shake in their faith.

The working product and the team have always been two major essential elements for me when it comes to making a decision to invest in ICO. As long as the product does not bring about some unique solution, the team look inexperienced or not certainly the type I will want to entrust capital into their hands, then I bail out completely and maybe monitor the progress in the long run when it hits the market.

There will always be a chance for everyone but it is better to take a calculated risk and be safe than sorry.

It is indeed a very good time to buy. At least we have two points, it is either the peak or the bottom, and certainly no one will want to be foolish enough to be picking market at the peak as the bottom is usually the perfect and safest place to pick any market and then be patient enough for the long term or keep following the trend. As it is now, we can only be hopeful to see how things will pan out in the short term, but for investment and holding purpose, most markets have hit the some good bottom level, and it seems a good time to me.

The market generally is showing some great potential lately and hopefully we will get to see some good movement in coming months. As it is, nothing is guaranteed yet and we all have to say that this is something we need to cautiously take decisions when it comes to the market. For the way things are though, I would not be surprised to see some bullish momentum towards the end of the year looking at how far things have gone and how the market is prepping up for a bull season.

Panicking does not solve anything for a trader, but the truth is that as long as the trader does have his or her strategy and making use of it well, he would still be able to make market decisions and stopping loss is not panic.

Still, the reason why some panic is because they have no strategy and all they are doing is to gamble the market, with the hope that things would work out in their favor and they are the set of people who keep saying be patient at first, and when reality kicks in and they see themselves in huge loss, panic rushes in.

Well, I would not say TRX made you to lose a lot of money; I would rather say you were not very cautious enough to know when you should be cutting loss. I understand you perfectly well that the TRX market has really gone so deep down and I also wish I stopped loss at some point, before now, but that is always the shitty thing, as long as you are far down, the hope of even stopping the little loss and looking forward to buy more back down gets dashed, but the last time I checked it was based on our own decisions, on how we ended up trading the market.

That is usually the case for most people, they tend to think they have bought the lows and then more lows just keeps coming. As long as you could not stop loss at an early stage based on your plan, I see no reason why you should be selling at this point that you have already lost half of your position. Remember though, if you are not a trader, the only best thing you can do is to stick with the investment aspect and save yourself the stress of the market movement as you concentrate on the long term.

Usually, the higher the risk, the more the profit and if care is not taken the higher the losses.
However, I believe on can always take calculated risks, which is why I have never been so much into not tapping from other alt market even though I have most of my stash in bitcoin.

The thing here is that, you can always get some great benefit if you have some trading idea as that would help you to make decisions when it comes to investing in altcoins and trading them in the short term as this is what I believe they are all about.

The short term and maybe when the whole speculation thing dies down, we might start seeing something different with real life usage, but for now, you will not be making smart moves, leaving your folio in alts long term when the market is always back to its historical bottom at some point.

I like that word! You can be able to copy a code, clone it but one thing you cannot clone is the support of the community which in some case, Roger Ver tried doing by painting bitcoin bad, unfortunately for him, every attempt from him kept backfiring and right now BCH is just living on the glory of being a fork of bitcoin and nothing else than a shit coin as far as I am concerned, since it has failed in it what was promised anyway, even though it is not like anyone believed something good will come out of it.

Just like any other shit coin, it definitely is. The support is not even there, except for some manipulated pump by Roger himself; no one really cares about the future, except for the possible short term gains anyway. I guess there was a time it was somehow being pushed by trying to lure investors with manipulations, but I guess that did not work. I read a news article recently about Roger Ver advocating institutional investors to buy bitcoin cash, but really, what is there to buy asides speculation.

Yes. This is just a part of the story as there will always be other part. The same way we had the bullish trend last year and everyone was shouting moon, it is the same way we are having a retracement at the moment and most people are shouting death.

This kind of mindset is the reason why a lot of people always end up joining FOMO in the long run when they should be taking advantage of the dip instead. I know it could be a lot to take in for someone who simply bought at the peak, but at the same time, there is nothing anyone can do now than to be patient and if possible buy more at the dips.

People are forgetting the simple yet powerful adoption technique.

If we try to find a way to legalize bitcoin to the fullest, like really make it something common and allowed by the government and taxed by them, the first thing we can do is give out ads on televisions and put up papers everywhere and so forth. I think it can be amazingly powerful if you could just grind the way regular companies do.

Yes, bitcoin is a huge innovation and people working for blockchain and new coins and ICO's and all that are amazing developers who are very futuristic however marketing is simple, you need to market it old fashion way to get the old fashion people.
