That's the first thing one should have on their mind while starting to trade. In fact its not just about trading but also any kind of investment you do.

Peeps do get greedy in the gambling as well. I have seen greedy peeps who lost money on gambling sitewide and then posted their sad stories on the forum. That is the enough and living proof for us that what we should not be doing in reality.

Greed is an emotion that can be controlled with great efforts. When it comes to money, everyone want it more and more. So yeah, if you are into greed then you gonna make yourself poor as fast as water moving out of your palm.

The difficulty may not change and I think it does not change for sure however, there is one major factor that can profit us while mining in the current times and that's increased shared by our miners.

I am currently mining RVN on my rigs and I have seen great amount of change in the pattern of payouts. When the prices changed drastically after the miners of RVN left for the ETH mining protocol, network directs most of the "job" to those who are still mining. Thus, increased workload on the miners and increased reward after the successful execution of transaction confirmation.

Not sure how true is this, but from my observation my payment per hour always increases whenever the workers are decreased!

I think apart from the different techniques of trading they have also helped the better understanding crypto currency and what it can bring to the future generations. Trading is all about earning the money where you stand good chance if you are very knowledgable and could compete the market. In the process user needs to understand the project in which they are investing, they can understand how the different techs are being developed and how they are shaping the future. Yes, different profitability projects are out there but crypto is so volatile that it has also taught the youth how to be patient and how not be greedy about your money. 
I am not sure of others, but for me these are the lessons from crypto trading and now I always take the whole thing in calm way.

In my perspective that depends on what you consider as success in the trading world? I mean if I am earning couple of bucks daily by doing so part time and consider this as my success then yeah I am successful. However this could be just spoonful of stuff for someone with bigger success dreams, who is always in adrenaline mode and wanna earn like crazy around 1-2K or more on daily basis. For that guy my trade is like awful but not for me. That is why I think success depends on how you perceive it really. However, there is very small group who trades whole 365 days and every minute of their time.

Looks like the news was fake as 14th is already passed on and market is behaving just right. Moreover, there was pretty small chance that if they even banned the exchanges then market would have reacted it. Korea does not contribute that much in the crypto space. All the geographical investment is from the USA and Europe and some parts of Asia at the end. So this news was just another fud and nothing else. Also, these kinds bans only move the market in temporary sense. Meaning peeps will always find a way to come back from p2p and what not.

Higher valuation? Sounds crazy because bitcoin is worth 40K USD plus and moving back and forth these days. I am not sure how much more value it needs to prove itself. Because last time we check Gold was worth and popular of all even when it was worth few dollars back in time. The rare nature of the gold applies to bitcoin too and we call it as digital era gold.

I am referencing gold specifically because there has to be some assumptions for proving the point in solid ways. I think bitcoin has become thing of everyone's assumption now. For me bitcoin has achieved good value in my mind, I respect it and I can't wait for countries to accept it. I own it, I use it on routine basis and I am happy with that.

The question is who are these anti-bitcoiners really? I would have understood if the war was Civilian Vs Government, but this is first time in history any government has listened to the civilians and put up the set up of bitcoin for them. In short they are also from the side of those who always wished they had world of bitcoin ran by the Government.

I am not sure what's causing them so much hatred and who are they really? Seeing the bitcoin ATM around the town is still dream of many peeps and here we go one dam government does it for you and you go wreck everything off!

Literally had no idea about it few years back even though it was in existence and I started my new job in the pharmaceutical industry. So I was all equipped with the new lab stuff, research and what not. I wasn't kinda guy who would go for an extra income at the time since it was just beginning of my career and low expenses so never thought about it.

However, it was not so far when I mate guy online, who was from the another state actually and we used to speak about new tech, online stuff and mostly internet of things. Then the idea of bitcoin came in first but it was about its tech, the backbone behind it, you know the blockchain and inventor and his mysteries kinda stuff mostly.

I was not aware that my new friend was good bitcoin earner. The guy also introduced me on the bitcointalk forum and lead me the way to whole new era of digital crypto space. Well this was very first when I started thinking out of the box and got involved with bitcoin.

It was the era of ICO's, bounties, airdrops and what not. I pushed myself everywhere and thus gained lot of knowledge regarding how stuff works in the crypto space. Started with bitcoin wallet and then MEW. Slowly moved into mining and how I can be one of the miner in my town was the excitement. Literally I learnt it from my friend and also pushed my limits.

It has changed my life completely. On top of this I never thought my pencil artwork will be paid into Bitcoin payment and thats tells the story where I am today! Thanks to forum and friends who introduced me to the bitcoin and to all the peeps who support this community. Life changing for sure!

With my personal experience I am pretty sure of one thing in the crypto: there is no right or wrong time to enter into crypto space. You will always see peeps arguing that I wish I had invested back then and this conversation is going on since decade now. So imagine you asking the same question today and if you do not enter today you will be asking the same question decade after this. Believe me crypto investment is full of surprises and there is no limit on how much you can put in and how much you can grab from it.

The only thing you need to take care is, what kinda investment you are making? Whether you are going to trade, stake, hodl, gamble etc. you need to be sure of the plans, and targets.

There are amazing projects which are taking shapes in the market. If I were you then just go for cardano and matic projects. They are the best currently and if you read the roadmap they are the one on track. This move can be seen from the their sudden increase in the value and eve when there was recent dump in the bitcoin they did not move an inch but kept rolling upwards. The final coin in which I would invest and investing as I get funds is the FUN fair token. The best and backed up by freebitcoin and binance with their lock fund program. The advantage here is way simpler: locked funds = increased demand = increased value. So you can buy them with the confidence. There are around millions of tokens already locked up for next 365 days. So bigger moves can happen for this project. They are also utility coin and advancing as we speak.

True. These sentences, I have heard many times with me. More or less I asked my friends to invest with me in the mining equipments however none of them listened to me at that time. The startling thing was, they were from the IT background but always thought that it's not worth to invest in such projects and there is no future for the same in the country. Considering the regulations at the time, they might be right but you have to take the risk if you have to be on the top of something. Today I am proud that I listened myself and at least I have two mining rigs up and running and important thing is I am biotechnologist and artist, not an IT guy. They still regret their decision but it's too expensive to mine now in my country considering the electricity costs and hot temperature.
I did also introduced many of them to the forum but eventually they got out since they did not work that hard as I did. It's sad they miss the bitcoin investments now and story is the same as OP stated.

Yeah it's like gold and precious metals from the history. The usage were limited in the earlier days but they started to grow as the dynasties and kingdom rose and as the demand got increased with the popularity. Later came the time where peeps found out more characteristics of the same and how valuable that asset could be.

I see same potential with the bitcoin also. In this scenario it is all digital and this could be beginning of new future for the generations to come. May be they will make bitcoin so valuable that precious metals won't be a thing of the era. I dont know but, there will be a day in the future which will be celebrated as Bitcoin day for real.

Interesting facts about the crypto world and it never gets too old but always wins the heart of many. Yes there are ways but there is one major factor that makes peep worried about their investment and that’s “trust”.  No one can easily believe in other projects and if they are the poor investors then man it’s very hard for such peep to put their hard earn money into something that may or may not give the proper returns. This is the prime reason why most of the peep will prefer to invest into bitcoin. Without the trust other projects are failures. However there is still great hope that such projects will emerge as official platform in the near future.

I dont think that this will be quick move like that. The cycle of buying and selling will keep going forever the way it happens today and was happening yesterday. Lets not forget we have all the time in the world to mine more and more bitcoin since network difficulty is growing day by day which will keep minting more bitcoin over time. This will also drive the prices to next level and thus peeps will keep selling the bitcoin that they are holding so that they can book the profits.

When they sell, somebody will be buying it from them and that would be the first day for that person to hold and then onwards he will keep holding. This, now imagine on huge scale throughout the world, every second! Its big cycle and it won't be altogether sell.

Remember:
If you are selling, then someone is buying it.

This is why NFT's not much of interest to me. You never know when you will hang out your millions of dollars middle of no where and there wont be anyone to buy it from you. The investment would be nothing much but an NFT thats all. In the mean time, to answer your second question I think someone at the corner of world might be working to make another break through! May be someone thinking to create tech will allow us to own real estate lands across the international border sitting at your home country. Anything can happen through these contract stuff. May be I will be landlord of your property in my country for which I will have an crypto based contract etc.

This is crypto, this is borderless and that's what making it way bizarre yet interesting to invest.

That does not work the way you doing it. It's just about your luck and what number you roll when you are spinning it and most probably when you spinning it! The system draws the random conclusions so you can try to change the time of spinning.

However, I am not looking after WoF as some sort of strategy. Whatever it gives me is an extra bonus and I am loving it. Lets not forget you will have this thing for next 365 days and it's enough to earn huge amount of free RP's, Satoshi's etc in addition to your APY of FUN tokens.

Just keep rolling and wait for your turn,  someday you will hit big someday you will not hit anything at all. 

All of the above, and there is more to understand about the market. It’s deep actually than just technical analysis and fundamentals. We must understand that crypto space is changing all the time. On a one beautiful day crypto could be gold and diamond mine while on the another it could be as hilarious as a joke of the evening. So we need to be very firm while trading any bits of it. I think we need information of next big moves beforehand so that we can save ourselves from such big crashes of market. If market is crashing then all the news channels has to in front of us so that we can understand what’s the basic cause for it. These things must be kept in mind so that next time we can judge the market with instinct itself. 

This is either naturally occurred correction or there is high chance that someone did it on purpose by dumping their bitcoins. Let’s not forget bitcoin is the vast economy ran by billionaires too and they are here to make the profits. There is possibility that someone got their investment profited as per their needs and then they started dumping it. I also hear that there are exchangers who also keep selling the bitcoins for Fiat to profit the organisation and what not. So peeps let’s understand that this is just another normal day at the crypto space and excellent opportunity to buy more coins. Just bag it and wait for your share in the future.

Exactly the attitude I wanna have right now and want everyone to understand the importance of same. The market is still crashing and what to say I am in love with this. Last month only I had that urge of buying more coins and where I was in the situation of wishing I would have bought more last month. Lolz. You see how complicated it was and this I don’t wanna repeat today. So I’m planning on putting at least few % of my salary this time into the coins which I have not bought already. I am thinking about ADA, MATIC, WRX, FUN etc. Seems to me reasonably good way to increase the portfolio.

Many thoughts pointing out NFT as the greatest proclamation in the near future. Although this does not seem to be the case if you study bitcoin properly. It took bitcoin almost a decade to reach hearts of peeps throughout the globe and the journey was not easy. So many regulations, unwanted bans, uplifting of the infra for miners and what not. I am not against NFT but if you think it is taking time for bitcoin (after a decade) then what’s so important about NFT that will make it acceptable all the way over bitcoin?

The scenario just does not work bitcoin against NFT, simply it’s idea to show bitcoin as failed asset which is not the case at all.
