When you are starting a new project, having some sort of social media presence that people follow and even respond whenever you write something could mean the worlds difference for you because that would get your name out there and give you some attention from people you really need so much.

Think about it, you are just a project on the funding period and not even started, and somehow CZ learns about you because you have huge social media presence and he says something nice about you, that would mean you will get funding very quickly and even more than you could ever need. That is why having a big community supporting you on twitter and instagram and other places means the difference between a failed project and a succeeding project hence why you should really care about it as much as you can. One of the main reasons why retweeting is always there for bounty hunting.

It is both true and wrong like everyone is trying to say. Yes binance listing a coin doesn't mean that the price will not be dumped and worth nothing, but also binance is not the reason why that project got dumped neither, they did helped and being on binance does help you out more than not being there.

This goes to show you that, binance can't save you, but it sure tries to save you if they can but all by itself it is not enough. That is why there are many coins who made it good without binance, coins who made it good thanks to binance, and coins who couldn't made it even with being on binance. We can't really know how much binance helps out but it is surely better to be listed there than not to be listed since not being listed is even faster way of getting dumped.

Your advises are dealing with psychological aspects of traders and I agree that we need to be mentally free so that we can focus on decision making while trading. For being mentally light, I agree that our family and friends are playing vital role. I have noticed from my own trading sessions that I am taking good decisions like out of many signals which is going to hit target when I am happier at the same time when I am feeling depressed I could not make any good decisions.

I believe brainpower is nothing but our analytical capability. I guess it is possible for anyone just by learning and practicing. I mean you can gain your brainpower through lots of study materials and from watching videos. At the same time brainpower is again related to our emotions. When we are happy then we can find our brain is working promptly to take right decisions on time.

I believe that emotion control must be one of the aspect of trading which cannot be taught from books nor from videos. We need to get practice to it only through our own experience. Recently I just come across a video tutorial about the emotional control which is teaching about going for practicing meditation for better emotion control while trading. I understand that must be a better way to get practice to emotion control other than experiencing emotion failures while trading and then learning from our own experience.

On-time decision making cannot be taught to one trader because traders must learn it by heart. Just following the signal which is usually derived from technical analysis alone will not assure success in trading but we need to take many timely decision so that we can avoid losses and also maximize the chances of making profits. Simply, at many times while trading we may need to take timely decision according to events and news; which may not be possible by learning from books.

I believe watching videos of study materials must be more effective than learning from books. I mean you will not get tired just by watching videos rather than reading some books. I'm not sure about most other people but I am just talking what I am experiencing learning from videos compared to learning from books. I agree learning something is not easier but videos are definitely helping to learn some new things in easier manner.

Back to the topic, risk management must be an essential part of successful trading and at the same time it will not be easier to get practice to it in our daily trading unless otherwise we are consciously implementing it in our decisions. Always expecting hitting stop loss and making my order size according to affordable stop-loss is one of the practice I do in my trading as part of risk management.

Did you get any analysis you have done by the times of last year May month when bitcoin raised up from ~$3500 to ~$13,500; I mean how was your technical analysis worked on that rapid rally?

Bitcoin mostly does not obey any technical analysis because we cannot assume who are the institutional investors coming in and how whales are booking profits. I mean bitcoin is currently having unequally distributed supply and also might attract small to very big investors at any time which makes it is fluctuating too wildly; hence predicting it with any of mathematical calculation may end up in disappointing.

I will not sell my bitcoin holding right now nor I will not short with the expectation of upcoming down fall market but definitely I will buy at dips. Because bitcoin is always in bullish mode for longer time frame hence working for a bull market is easier way for me to make profits.

They are both good and you can even do the both of them if you're good at it. Day trading requires a lot of work, while HODL or long term investment requires just being able to predict the right time and invest, after you have invested you can then wait till things are in your favor.

I trade and I invest and they have both been working for me. I have my main job that I do, so I have not been able to give much of my attention to day trading. For now investment is the right thing for me. I have also been looking into other things as well.

Actually, pandemic has slowed down the growth of cryptocurerencies and at the same time we may assume like pandemic helped institutional investors to think about cryptocurrencies as stocks and bonds are not performing good right now. In my opinion anything other than bitcoin is good only for trade and bitcoin is always good for investments.

I too believe that all exchange based tokens/coins must be having bright future because those coins/tokens are having at least one real world use case whereas most other coins nor tokens are lacking in that particular features. I guess are lots of exchange based assets are available on the market nowadays which may be interpreted as a con because investors may get deviated out. But, considering the future potential of exchanges, I believe these assets will definitely attract more than enough investors.

Other things, we must need to consider here: how secured these exchanges are. There are plenty of number of exchanges got hacked in the past compared to any other business. So, we need to be careful by not completely believing into exchange based assets but having them on our portfolio is highly recommended.

From the list of coins you're holding the only one I will advise you to hold there is Cardano. I don't know about this Vechain, Flexacoin and other ones you have mentioned. Cardano alone would have made a better choice than buying some extra crap coins. And between Dent and BAT, I will advise you to choose BAT, there is no need for DENT.

Other choices you should also consider are ChainLink, BNB, EOS, Tron, Synthetix Network T, and ZRX. You should look into these and know whether there are any you would like. (These are just my suggestion and you must act as per your due diligence. Take time before spending, that's all).

I don't know why you're not investing in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a good coin and it works for me most of the time. Definitely you may regret one day or other for missing out bitcoins. Many people ignore bitcoins just because of its high value. But you must understand that your $100 in bitcoins may turn to $1000 very easily whereas no other altcoins may perform or may not in similar rate. Bitcoin is 99% has such a guarantee and other are having less than 10% of such a guarantee.

All I mean that you do not need to buy one whole bitcoin to hold. Anything like 0.01BTC or 0.1BTC also must be a very good investment for long term based planning.

It does have a value, but the value is not data backed or anything spesific, it has a value the amount we put on it. How many dollars is 1 kg of apple? Well the thing you are giving is something made up and not real, it is paper money and yes you hold the paper in your hands so it feels real but it is in our minds, we give that paper money a value and we did say that apples should worth x amount of paper money.

Normally almost everything in life has a value, that apple has a value, you can eat it and both not starve to death thanks to it, but also it has vitamins in it as well so it helps you, what can you do with money if you are not spending it, money in itself worths zero. So as you know, we just gave it a value, we said this should worth something, instead of doing barter like crazy for everything, how about we have these credit items that would mean that we worked and worth something and we did this thousands of years ago when it wasn't even really needed, now it is needed more than ever.

The tightening of family bindings wouldn't really be for those that lost someone due to the Coronavirus. They will be sad and going through pains at this time. But just like you have said, it's always good to look towards to the positive side. The outbreak changed a lot of things and the ways we live our lives. Some of us never really got the time to spend with our family because we are always out there working and trying to make money and all that.

Ever since this outbreak, everyone has stayed indoors and had time with their family. I like that, and the part of our environment getting better. But, world wide economy growth got ceased because when people start living out of their saving or from aid of government or any similar help, most countries started suffering with slow economic conditions. When lockdown restrictions will be lift out then we can expect some slow improvements. 

Nah, I am not going to believe. Any media that posts this are really going to get serious backlash from people, this is not something people would like to hear or read. But I do some people that keep making speculations that are similar to this on Twitter. I am not going to believe this talk, covid-19 is just a virus, although we don't know exactly where it originated from. But, scientists around the world are working hard towards creating a cure/vaccine to help ease and stop the spread of the virus once and for all. Right now, all we can do is to hope in God and pray for his healing for the world.

If there are business which were planned behind this pandemic may come to an end when there will be a vaccine. So, all we need right now must be a vaccine and proper guideline for elder people who are having high risk against the covid-19. This disease may end up a disease even there are any plans behind the screens when there will be vaccine.

The only business I know that you can do with cryptocurrency is the over-the-counter exchange. There are lots of people that do this business in my country. How it works is that they have their own exchange rates for both buying and selling. The extra money/fees they add on top every exchange they make is how they are making their gains. So, when you go to their office to sell or buy cryptocurrency, they will calculate it at that rate. Apart from that, I don't really know any other business that you can do with cryptocurrency. Unless you're just going to be accepting it as a payment like other comments here have suggested.

Take time to develop an end to end plans which covers all the things like problems and demand a business may face. When a solution is available in your document then you can easily tackle all situation over your experience. Good luck.

You're right about that. There is one of my friend that is still new to Bitcoin and he told me to send him some bitcoins so he can send money to my bank account, and I did. He didn't tell me that he was going to use it to make a transaction that night. He was trying to learn how Bitcoin wallets works and he tried to make a transaction from his Blockchain wallet to his Luno wallet and was charged $2 dollars for fees lol. He freaked out that I never told him. The amount he sent was just $5 and he was charged that much. I tried to let him know that it only happens when the Blockchain is congested.

High fees sometimes drives us too crazy. Not sure how long segwit addys will remain a solution for blockchain congestion.

Everyone follows their own ways. We are never the same and we all have different belief and how we live our lives and do business. It's not everyone that can invest in Bitcoin and I do tell some of my friends that if they don't have enough money to invest in Bitcoin and have patience, then it's best to leave it for now and work hard whatever safe and less risky way they choose to do so, and after they might have raised enough money they can get back to investing their money in whatever asset or stock they choose. I do see some people that became millionaires.

Bitcoin is so far highly rewarding all the people who opt to hold for years rather than active traders nor short term holder. If you have patience then you can easily become a bitcoin billionaire in coming years. Not all the people are minding about saving bitcoins for their retirement life but in my culture we value saving and surprisingly bitcoin works as per my culture.

Apart from the over the counter that you have mentioned, you're forgetting that there are decentralized exchanges (DEX), and I do not think the government anywhere has access to any of those websites. They can only regulate Centralized exchanges such as Coinbase, and maybe Binance, and others that are similar to them, but they can't do that to exchanges that are decentralized.

As for being anonymous, that's not something that I worry about. I just make use of Bitcoin because I like the fact that I am able to quickly send and receive money to anyone around the world and also at a cheaper rate (fees). I do not really bother myself whether it is anonymous or not. I have not seen the need to; probably I might make some considerable amount of bitcoin saving. I guess bitcoin whales are the actual people who care about the anonymity the most right now.

Don't be too fast to call it a bull run, you cannot tell what will follow next. The price did go up to $10,000 but it didn't stay for long at this position before going down to the $9k price (it's currently at $9,700). The price will go up, but it won't jump to a high price at once, it will move up with time. That's why it's good to invest early and have patience. Early investors are always the lucky ones.

Before the pandemic that affected every market, I bought Bitcoin and a few altcoins. I bought Bitcoin around $8,000 and when the price started falling I didn't sell because I knew that after this Coronavirus thing cools off, the price will still go back up and I will recover what I lost. I still went ahead to buy more at the rate of $5,000 after the price dropped to $3,800 and started going back up.

OHHH NOOOO. With this new friends and messages thing, I fear there will be too many messages each day for me . When you play as long as I do (in general, not in one session) and stay there after your gambling is done just to chat and so forth, you are going to make some friends but also you get into arguments as well with some people, not a nice thing I know but it happens.

Please tell me you also made some sort of blocking feature as well because after having so many personal messages to you, you may want to have some blocking as well. Otherwise only thing that could stop people from spamming your PM would be reporting them and they could simply start another account. I see this as an absolute win, no matter how it ends up, I think this is just amazing.

Just the regular old one coming back is literally what we will need direly, there is no talk about it if it is coming back or not, but that would be enough for now.

Yeah, additions are definitely better and the more the merrier for us but if we are not going to get even the premier league one, that is quite sad. Not to be mistaken, there is no announcement about it just yet, so I am not saying it won't happen, or it will happen, I am not saying anything about its existence when the time comes.

I am just saying that instead of going forward with an idea, we should focus on not going backwards with it, there is a huge difference between the two. Since we are talking about sports, think of it like "you don't need to win, just get a tie and you will promote" type of situation.

Blockchain can help universities and colleges in lots of ways, even if it's just for payments, it's going to make payments for services to be a lot easier. And I don't think it's all about payment, there are other ways that Blockchain can be useful in universities, they can use the Blockchain to give control to students and educators over their own information. Instead of having to go through a long process, they will have easy access to their information on the Blockchain. Like I said it doesn't end there, there are lots of things that can be achieved by making use of Blockchain, it all takes time for us to discover them.
