there are a lot of these ideas out there, it is best to come up with some combination according to where you live and the household objects you have!
for example i read once about someone who was keeping his electrum seed in his physical phone book. among names and random phone numbers!

the dump (those big red candles leading down) is perfectly normal. people were holding some of these shitcoins and as the delisting news came they started dumping.

but what people are missing are the pumps 3 or 5 days before the announcement and the dump. they all started days before the news and price pumped and those with internal information made their exit on top then the news came!

are you sure about this because i have never seen anywhere on their site saying this, also they assure you that they don't guarantee any exchange to fiat.

i can't see how what you say relates to what i said but ok!
i have a couple of things to say to you too.
- i have never seen satoshi making speculations like this, would love to see where you saw satoshi saying price will be 10K in 2030!
- also if by hard fork you mean the BU drama split then no it won't happen but if you are talking about hard fork in general then it is a possibility, we have already had one hard fork.

it sucks but Bittrex doesn't offer candlestick (OHLC) data. i've looked everywhere.
i hope they add it, also while you are at it add sockets too like poloniex, it is an essential part of any professional API in my opinion.

you can still use polo for chart though, the difference is not that big.

a coin that has a possible future and that is a real future not just an illusion hype that the shills create so that they can pump the price. with this criteria i limit the coins that are worth my time to a handful. and that list consists of bitcoin, litecoin, monero and two others that i am not so sure about so i won't mention them.

then since this is trading board i'll assume your questions is about trading. and for that, you only need to invest in the altcoins before they are pumped. sounds pretty simple but it is hard to buy low and sell high and don't get greedy and miss the chance. for that you mostly need to look at the charts and look out for some news.on twitter on in altcoin board.

i think it is more of a bold prediction at best.
reaching $1500 is going to be a big rise and although i believe bitcoin will still be cheap and under-priced but i can not see it happening this fast. there are too many people wanting a price like that to make their exit and dump the price to buy back.

they can't tax it unless you mix fiat with the business
meaning if you trade on an exchange and link your bank account there so that they can know who you are and how much you are trading. otherwise it is easy to deny possessing bitcoin

although you may end up like Burt if you are in US

if you can't make up a decision on your own then i think it is best if you don't invest. besides how do you know if i tell you it will or will not go down to $1000, i am telling the truth or just spreading FUD.
it is your money and you need to decide on it yourself.

you just have to know the risks and accept them first. it surely is easier and more convenient to receive payments, specially in altcoins, in your exchange account. and it is actually a better idea than downloading one of these scamcoin wallets and installing them, risking contaminating your PC!

but an exchange wallet is always going to be a third party service that have access to your funds and can either block your account or runs away with all the funds.
so it also depends on the amount

- the "real" price is on other exchanges and that is $1310 at the moment of typing this.
- "preev price" is not accurate it gives you an average unless you change it explicitly to a specific exchange.
- btc-e has never been the real price, it usually is lagging behind!
- no bitfinex issue is not yet done.

another way to look at it is that the people are getting dumber and dumber. in all the hacking news that i have heard so far, it was mainly mistakes of what an idiot employee of that business made.
and as for most services, if they are honest and legit, they will pay the customers back if it were they fault. i believe btc-e had at least one major hack back in the days and paid the users back.

everything is free, but not everything is open to everyone. the public stuff such as querying the blockchain or getting your balance for example is open but the "payment receiving part" is not. you have to make a request to get a key.
and i believe they denied OP because he is running a "MLM business" as he calls it business!

unless you think those who rejected ETF are a bunch of kids that just were born into the world of economy then no, that assumption is wrong
but on a side note, yaaay ATH, we have already broken $1300 ($1400 on fakefinex)

the only thing that the post you quoted shows, is that certain group of people will always remain where they are and never advance in their lives because they will always remain scared in the present and regret the past.
and unless they stop this behavior you will see them in the future saying the same thing about today: "i wish i did ... back then"

first of all, don't fool yourself. all exchanges add what gives them the most profit. they do not see things that you and i call shit or scam, etc. the only thing they see is how they can make more money from adding such coin. and if they have to choose between 2 they will add the one that gives them the most profit.

secondly, do not even begin to compare bittrex with yobit. bittrex a legit and good service that has been working very well for years without any serious problems and the coins they add are all good and they are what people want.
yobit is a shitty scam place that is run by scammers who will add anything they want even if people never trade them.

i'd like to think of bots mostly as two things:
1) a way to make things faster, specially about some of these platforms that are pretty slow. for example opening poloniex and letting all the charts and stuff load and to place or cancel and order it taking a lot of time but clicking a button in my bot is only half a second.
2) run some special strategies, this part is not as useful as the other in my opinion but there are times that you want to do some quick analysis and some calculation and then execute some trades. a bot can do it fast and automatic without needing you bring up a calculator!

MT GOX was a stupid fake price rise that was done only because it had way too much power and influence. i mean there were literary no other exchanges even remotely big to have any effect on the price!
right now the volume that bitfinex has is the same percentage as those small other exchanges at the time of GOX.
and also gox pump was a one time thing that happened because of that influence that place had. and it was done by the exchange not the whales.

it is not supposed to be just about trading. but yeah these days altcoins are only for trading and nothing else. you join the pump and dumps and make money from them.
but in fact altcoins are supposed to be alternative ways of exploring different possibilities in cryptocurrency world. offering new features, different ones. and a lot more interesting stuff, which all have been forgotten and only the money is all people think about when it comes to altcoins.

that $1350 back at the time of ETF doesn't count the same way this $1350 doesn't count.
the first one was a whale going crazy and messing with all the shorts of everyone when they bought all the way up and dumped all the way down in one minute!

and this new $1350 also doesn't count since bitfinex is getting empty of traders as they buy BTC and get out. you have to want to take high risks to sell BTC on finex and keep fiat there.
