Anyone with a good understanding of Bitcoin and the technology behind it, is hardly bothered by talks that Bitcoin is crashing, already dead and all that negativity, because of their conviction that Bitcoin and its technology gave the world some unprecedented gifts, no one can afford to ignore. Instead of Bitcoin going under, let's watch out a great rebounce is by the corner.

Having patience is one of the strongholds of HODL, but in the situation that a trader is the type that thinks little of what price he gets to enter the market, a market in red zone might be too unnerving for the trader to remember and exercise patience. At times like that, a trader is between the devil and the deep blue sea - to avoid such a situation, a trader should always plan their trade and endeavor to trade their plan!

If the above still represents your reaction whenever the price of Bitcoin plunges, it shows there's need for your trading skills to be overhauled. First and foremost, a good trader analyzes whatever asset they're going to commit their money on and whatever change that needed to be made, is never done midstream. Beyond that, you do not invest money you cannot afford to lose, because emotionally one would be destabilized and end up making avoidable mistakes.

HODL seems to be mistaken for some holy grail or fail proof strategy, but it's not! Quality studies and analysis of the asset is still very vital to forestall a situation where one ends up buying at the peak price and losing so much value when a plunge ensues.

I was wondering why anyone would be capable of such negativity until I looked closely and found, it was coming from a zombie afterall. I hope you'd get to look at things from a rational point of view, you'll discover Bitcoin and cryptocurrency are now deep rooted in global economy and they're not going anywhere. Whenever there's a drop in the price of Bitcoin plunging smart traders see opportunities while others look for coverage

You don't seem to realize that HODL is only an arm of a long position, so traders are already applying it and much more tactics in their everyday trading.  Worthy of mention is the fact that day trading presents traders with the opportunity of making money regardless of the value of the asset, unlike the hibernation period and which could be indefinite, which HODL often entails.

As par the bull market returning in April /May, you shall be needing a crystal ball to be able to decipher that, but what  really does that help? What's necessary is to stay abreast with developments in the market and taking informed market decisions and the profits would most likely follow.

BitcoinCash despite all the noise was unable to outwit Bitcoin at its weakest point, when very high transaction fees and congested network nearly tore Bitcoin apart, then I Don't  see it capable of doing it now that confidence in Bitcoin is back full force. We can give it to the BitcoinCash enthusiasts that all the decedents of Bitcoin will continue to enjoy the spillover of the successes of Bitcoin, end of story!

That would be a terrible mistake to make and you would most likely end up shooting yourself in the leg, because price is always decreasing and rising. I guess you were going to say, selling at peak prices and buying back at bottom prices is one of the best trading decisions any trader can make.

However, when already in a losing position, you wouldn't want to make things worst by selling and foreclosing the chances of a recovery. At this stage, a systematic buy back, popularly known as averaging have been proven to be effective for such a situation.

When you're HODLing and price is down, you don't say, you're losing, rather it's price that is against you and that is exactly why you're holding onto your Bitcoin until whenever price improves to your satisfaction.

You're right 99% of airdrops are not worth the time and efforts put into them but when one stumbles  on  the remaining 1%, it is usually well worth it. I have been receiving airdrops from Bitsend (BSD) for close to a year now, it's still paying and promises to paying  till 2019.

I quit my job years back, because it was getting on my way and I needed my time. Since them I have been a forex trader and now also a crypto trader and life has been much better and still promising. The impressions that being a full time trader means staying glued to one's trading platform day in, day out, is actually erroneous. Though at the earlier stage into full time trading, the tendency is to not lift the leg off the gas pedal, but experience and knowledge soon put lot of things straight. For me, these are a few of my collections for trading:

1. not every market, pairs are worth trading;

2. better entry points usually reduces risk and exposure while increasing profitability;

3. some days, the market can have a different mind of its own;

4. you can never have it all, regardless how hard you work;

5. there will always be other profitable opportunities;

6. live to fight another day,

7. the safest trade often times, is not to place any trade at all, till further notice.

Couldn't agree more, market condition is continually changing, making it impossible for anyone strategy to fit the different market conditions that may ensue. However we see many traders especially newbies struggling with that, because most of them are simply unwilling to learn or yet to find a need for it.

Yes trading are these days automatic, especially by the high networth traders, who can afford to engage the services of developers and coders to produce bots that can effectively man the market 247. Because of these bots now taking center stage, we shall be seeing some whoa trading from time to time and which are some trades a human trader would have likely avoided.

A number of people including my very self have asked for our previously entered Ether address to be changed to ones that can support ERC20 tokens, but after all this while, no one have been attended to. What is the fate of people with this concern?

Payment received! Thanks Atriz and TV-TWO

It's obvious you're not a trader and it's not really as you said that trading is a big gamble, though it could be for some category of traders - those that see no sense or need to adequately equip themselves with sound trading knowledge and skills prior to delving into the market, because of claims by other trader.  Trading actually is not for everyone, so for the ones that're keen in making it worth while, it has to be taken as a serious business.

It's ambiguous, if not confusing to newbies, when you say, your strategy is to buy low and sell high. In view of the prevailing volatile nature of Bitcoin, what is a low price and when can one rightly say that the price of Bitcoin is high or low? Some people are of the belief that use of some technical analysis tools can go a long way in spotting and identifying market conditions, how exactly do you guys go about yours?

No too long ago, people with success at the back of their minds used to work hard and even harder in order to accomplish the success they crave. Time however have moved on and knowledge have also increased, so that success and accomplishments are no longer dependent on the size of one's muscles. To work hard have over the years been likened to being diligent, dedicated and long suffering, but now all that transmuted instead to working smart.

Suffice to say that one does not, anymore need hard work to make a success, though there're no doubt people, who would rather walk 20 km than catch a cab and they would even glory in the fact that they also made the distance!

I know digital money have been in existence well ahead of Bitcoin, but Bitcoin is the undisputed pioneer of cryptocurrency. If Bitcoin was never created,  there won't have been blockchain or cryptocurrencies.

The driving for the creation of Bitcoin though was for the liberation and setting free, the captives of our sick and enslaving monetary systems. We must have to appreciate SatoshI Nakamoto for this great and might feat.

It's indeed as you said and regardless of what picture  the Wall Street guys and professors may have painted of  Bitcoin, what's fact is that Bitcoin doubles as an asset because we're already investing in it and making handsome profits. Nonetheless, we're also able to buy and sell with Bitcoin though the scope is being hampered by instability in price.

At any rate, as the popularity and adoption of Bitcoin remains on the increase, we would likely get to that point where many more merchants would embrace Bitcoin an create the enabling environment for its price to stabilize.

No, you're actually the one in error as working smart, essentially means producing more with less input. With education and specialized training, people become able to work smarter by adoption and application of tools that increases efficiency and reduces waste of time and materials.

The reason there're differential in wages is because workers are classified according to the quota they contribute on the efficiency table. That is why you can never see a laborer earning more than his manager. With training and experience however, a laborer can also one day, become a manager and his earning would certainly reflect this change.
When you work smart, you would have reduced the time you put in to produce even much more, so you would be getting more for less.

You would be a robot to think you could remain sane with such distractions on your head and mind. Those temporary relieves are hardly worth the boarder because they are relegated only to the background, ready to bounce back and even more daunting when the game is up. Soundness of mind is inevitable to be able to flow along with a game.

You won't be able to live off of such jobs, because they're  not secured and offers no guarantees. However, Bitcoin plays the vital role of being a leveler and on that pedestal, people can find their feet and create jobs but talks about Bitcoin capability of eliminating unemployment are unfounded.
