Better to just sell it off than regretting in the long run not selling it for those 96 cents eventually because that is what will happen when the whole wall of Tether starts coming down. I would advise you either use what you have to invest in some potential coins at the moment and have nothing to do with tether anymore. There are other more reliable and trustworthy stable coins pegged to USD popping up and they have good bank backing with proper audit, not like some shit stable coin like tether and you really want to be channeling your attention on those new ones instead.

I really do not see it affecting the market as a whole as I believe this is something that would just affect the holders of tether themselves as a lot of people will end up getting to feel the effect of losing if they are still in tether. Although, it is still pretty much early to judge the effect it would have on the market overall, but I really would not be counting on anything at the moment. In the long run, I believe tether will go down the drain with better stable coins taking over as we have even started seeing exchanges making use of direct fiat at the moment. It is just a matter of time before we started seeing the end of Tether.

Even tough it is not technically backed by gold I think it has a value directly attached to it. Think about it, when does gold go up in value? Over time and and when fiat devalues, exactly the same thing with crypto. Why does gold worth anything? Because people put a value into it and think its valuable and has very short amount of supply, exactly the same with bitcoin.

I know crypto is not backed by gold at all but if you check when gold goes up in the long term and when bitcoin goes up it will be the same times. The only logical difference between them is gold is a huge market that has been around for a long time whereas bitcoin is a smaller newer market but all the things that makes them move are the same (except there are more whales that play with the prices in bitcoin) and seems like will be like that for a long time.

I think for miners to make sense to mine it should be at least over 300 dollars to begin with, which means there are still a lot of miners selling at these levels because they have to but eventually it will dry up and the selling amount will be less and to balance the buyer/seller levels it will have to go back up.

Logically speaking bitcoin is mined by corporations now, it is run by people who have invested millions of dollars into mining however ethereum is still mined by a lot of people who have put up couple thousand dollars into a rig and started mining.

Now of course there are people who have invested a lot of money into ethereum mining but there are absolutely zero people who mine with 50k dollar worth of bitcoin miners however there are lot of people who can mine ethereum with 50k easily. We need to wait until small miners are done selling to pay off and than we will skyrocket once again. Or when ICO's are valuable and making sense again.

Ethereum has a huge upside, coin once worth above 1.5k dollars each and right now its about 200 dollar levels and nothing major changed for the coin and it is even better than it used to be and the only reason why it is not going high again is the market, everything else is bullish on ethereum except the market.

As soon as market trend goes up again ethereum will have a huge spike because there are a lot of people expecting ethereum to go up and the miners will stop selling their ethereum after a while which means price HAS TO go up so that people would start selling again.

Stellar has also built itself a great market with the content writing and with the content world of crypto being heavily influenced by stellar I think the world of content writing in crypto space will have to fight to death until stellar worths something again because they are losing more and more money by the drop of price for their works.

Heiken Ashi is actually an easy way to usually spot a trading trend and be able to deal with it accordingly. One thing with every market is that there would always be a trend and how you trade it depends on how you are able to identify the changes which is one of the reasons why as a trader, trend should always be your best friend. However, this is something that can only be easily done with knowledge. It sounds pretty easy in paper but in reality, you have to get conversant with your strategy, build on it, fine tune it and keep getting better to make market trend decisions.

Trading trends is not just only for beginners but this is something that is a general thing to know and be able to use to take advantage of the market fluctuations and it is what has been used by professional traders over the years. Generally, the basic of trading the market is to identify trend patterns and be able to make decisions based on those patterns. This is one thing that would help you come up with a good strategy when it comes to trading the market generally or whichever time frame you are trading. If you do not understand trend patterns and reversal, then you are not even close to being able to trade at all.

The absolute reason why a lot of people tend to get emotional when it comes to trading is because they are always so in a haste to want to make money and that is a terrible thing that would always backfire as emotions start springing up. If you want to avoid trading emotionally, then you should be working on yourself, your knowledge and the strategy you have been able to come up with. People tend to always forget that trading is always something that deals with professionalism, and if you see it as gambling, you will never be able to come out of trading with emotions.

The plan of trading comfortably will get collapsed when a trader gets greedy. We do see many traders are doing that even they have started well in their beginning days. I mean, learning alone will not help any trader but we must practice of not getting greedy at any point of time while trading. This is being called experience and only traders who show discipline while trading get chances to become pro traders.

Yes, here is my whole point lies on. Just learning and then following all the formula of trading will not just land one trader into the profit zones. He must work hard each and every time toward not losing his control over emotions and must follow his strategies all the times for perfect entry and exit.

I have been holding Adbank as well for a while now, and I am still trying to see how it would all end with this one even after going pretty lower than the ICO price, which I have used as an opportunity to buy back lower anyway. Surely, a whole lot of the market will actually rise if the situation and condition permits it, with a whole lot of it being centered on how bitcoin eventually gets to move before the year end. We all know simply that altcoins move rapidly as long as they all are given the chance, so we can only be patient at the moment and see how things would pan out.

Yes, bitcoin's market is the deciding factor here. In the past eth and few other coins have showed their own market directions which were different from how bitcoin was performing at those times but overall bitcoin price levels are doing work of pivot point for entire crypto markets.

There are two reasons why there is always a crypto market bull happening once a while.

One is the banks, people are sick of the same type of financial world and want to take the control to their hands and even if they are going to lose money let it be because they made a bad investment and not because the bank they trusted their money with bankrupted because of bad financial decisions, I would rather lose my money than someone else lose my money.

When that happened in 2008 people lost a lot of money and banks were saved, it was the people that invested there that got the bill and banks got scott free.

Second biggest reason is the innovation side of things, it is a new thing and people believe if you get in early into something instead of really late than you can make bigger returns than anywhere else, now considering these of course there is always a crypto bull run coming along once in a while.

Really? How on earth will you know if something is temporary or not? Whatever has happened, those who want to see would have ended up selling and sure this simply affected the bitcoin/tether market majorly but at the same time, whatever it is, the market really did give a push generally.

If you really want to be assuming something is temporary, then it is not a market. You cannot predict anything, but whichever way, the sign still shows bullish however you want to see it for those who already took it as a chance to take advantage of the dips.

I am happy you said bitcoin can take a hit to the downside, but in that case, I am sure those who are smart enough to know that the market is unpredictable but at least taking a chance with a stop loss will always know what to do but at this point, I am actually seeing the possibilities of an upside than a downside.

The only thing that makes bots different is that they tend to execute your strategy when it comes where to buy, where to sell and where to be stopping loss without any form of emotions, but the thing is that bots inability to think sometimes, can actually be at your detriment most especially when market tends to extremely volatile.

Anyone who wants to trade should stop looking for shortcuts and should learn first, so at least to have some basic knowledge before even making any attempt to trading or even trying to use bot if there is any need at all. As long as you know what you are doing, and you have a great knowledge on trading and the market, you will always be better when it comes to making decisions.

Where most people always get it wrong is that they think everything is all about luck, and that is one mentality with trading or investment that would make a whole lot of people to flop terribly at the end. Making profit is not an easy task as you need to be knowledgeable enough to make some certain decisions.

Decisions are some things, you possibly cannot do without when it comes to investing or trading, and you really want to know when to buy, where to sell and how you stopping loss and all these things come with the zeal to learn them. Those who are not ready for that should simply just invest and hold for as long as they can. That is a whole lot better than trying to gamble the market.

You actually just sounded like a joker, exactly as your name implies. This is a market and first of all, I want to say there is no way anyone can tell what the future is going to bring. It is a mystery and it will keep being that way. However, when it comes to the market going that low, I doubt if this is something we would get to see happen. The market is always unpredictable, but at the same time, the market is growing daily, and unless something wrong happens fundamentally that caused a huge blow to the market, $2000 sounds far from it.

Well, it really was not a good time but still a good time for some of us who saw an opportunity in picking some of the ICOs that ended up going lower than their ICO price and they have great potential based on their product and future growth. It is the opportunity you see in every market that matters and it is not how the market is faring.

Not investing in ICO will not change a thing, just knowing when to invest is what should be most important thing. People can still be investing in a coin or token in the market already and still be feeding scammers as far as I am concerned, and as long as ideas will always pop up, I would not expect us to stop seeing ICOs for fund raising purposes.

Apparently, there would always be news to want to promote projects as the case may be, while trying to rubbish the other. For instance, we have seen news like this in the past with some coins being classified as BTC killer and I wonder if those coins even still exist.

This is a promotional article just like someone rightly said, and I would rather pay attention on the market generally and see how things evolve, than trying to imagine what coin will be killing the other in such a competitive space where there are also other smart contract platforms like Wave, NEO and the likes that XLM has to even compete with. I am not saying Stellar does not have a future, but whether something is a silent killer of another project is something that I cannot say.

For one thing, there are so many smart contract platforms competing within that space with Ethereum taking the lead, and in such cases, it would depend on who is able to come out with something that would really attract project owners mostly at the end. It is a competitive space and there is enough to go around, but I do not see how stellar would be an Ethereum killer when obviously Ethereum will not stall in development.

Comissions of trading is one thing but you should also take a look at the withdrawal fee's of these exchanges.
For example binance is one of the best exchanges however even tho their maker and taker is great, their withdrawal fee is insanely high compared to other places and they charge insanely for listing other coins.

It means there are other methods for them to make money aside from the obvious trading fee we see. Of course, the trading fee is probably still their biggest income but the money they lose by trading fee is compensated by other stuff behind the obvious ways. Hence, just trading fee's wouldn't show much to any of us.

Honestly I do not see any trader that is really successful for a long term in the crypto market. You can be right couple times in a row, you can be wrong, you can do whatever you want but in the end you do not become a great trader by any other fact that you got lucky.

There have been friends of mine that made insane profits during this bear market thanks to coins like sys and gvt and similar (and lets not forget ripple) but I honestly know them personally and they just got into those coins with their gut feelings and purely got lucky. Aside from that they had no expertise at all but made x30 returns in a bear market thanks to their luck.

Yeah, and it is either you are trading or you are not. For anyone who is not trading, I do not expect having to take such a risk of leaving their funds in an exchange because they can lose it all. However, for someone who is trading, and they do that consistently, they apparently should not be trading with all the funds they have on an exchange. There should always be an amount in percentage allocated for trading purposes only so you would not end putting too much risk on yourself as a trader, just in case something goes wrong with the exchange.

Well, you would not have any other means of not having to leave your funds on an exchange, which is one of the reason we always say as well that people should only trade what they can at least afford to lose not just because of their idea or knowledge about trading, but most definitely for the fact that anything can go wrong with an exchange.

For this reason, I have always traded on 3 different exchanges while making use of all the available securities at my disposal with most of it being 2FA. As long as you are trading, there is no sense having to withdraw every single time to a cold wallet unless you have to.

Comparatively speaking I was saving for a computer and thanks to what I made in 2017 summer and how it went up in price during December I cashed out and got myself the top of the line alienware laptop. I am so thankful for that purchase because buying that really saved me, right now dollar is increasing in value in my country and bitcoin dropped insanely so I would have less money and laptop would have costed more money, I would have been in double loss.

Thankfully I always saved for a goal, I spend as much as I need and I put the rest into some savings so when the time comes I do whatever I saved for. That way I can honestly say that I have saved for this and than go out and spend that money, if you do not have any goals to save that's usually spent on the most useless things.

I think binance still leads the "best place to invest" in a manner of trading however if you are going to go long term on a coin I would definitely suggest you to download the wallet of that crypto currency to keep it on your pc, that is definitely miles better than holding on any exchange and definitely safer option.

Unless of course you are investing really small amounts like couple hundred bucks which means you could use anything you want. Best way to invest is to find a coin that you trust blind-foldedly and definitely go after it and collect as much of that coin as you can but divide your money into smaller amounts so you can invest every month instead of investing all at once.

If you do this you can ride the bear market and bull market all the same without worrying about swings since you already got in at highs and lows as well.

The main topic of discussion should be what type of trader you want to be. There are "investors" who buy into something for a long time but there are long term traders as well, long term doesn't really need to mean investment, you can buy to sell in the end however if you want to be called trader you need the part where you buy it to sell later on and not get richer by holding and trusting the company or the coin behind it.

Hence I think you need to select what you want to be, short term day trader of sorts that deals with the indicators or you want to be long term trader caring about the company too ? Being a good trader will be an easy task when you are ready to dedicate your time. If you are a student or already into some profession and then you want to trade in your part time, then just focus on research and analysis rather than being a professional or good trader.

Because, it does not mean all the good traders are capable of making huge profits all the times with their all the trades. It is proven even professional traders also book losses time to time but they might book less losses but more profits.

As long as we still keep seeing ICOs popping up and we get to have a lot of projects seeing bounty as the easiest and cheapest way to get their projects pitched to potential investors, then, I do not see the way bounties will come to a halt.

However things eventually turn out though will depend on time and whether we will get to see the space get more matured and ICOs being regulated and how that would generally affect some few things, only time will tell in that regards, but for now, i really do not see how bounties will not keep being useful for ICOs when it comes to promotional campaigns.
