I have been following bitcoin price since the recent upwards price movement and I think $5875 has become the high and corrections has began. Checking price chart this morning I discovered that the down channel's line has been broken and that signal a dropped in buying momentum and price may get below  $5,000. However, this is another opportunity to buy bitcoin at a very cheap prices as before the end of this year bitcoin might hit $7,000. This corrections is not going to be a long one,  it might just be three to four days and we would resumes another upwards movement again.

I will only fund my trading exchange's Wallets with my bitcoin only if and I mean only if bitcoin  and cryptocurrency exchangers like poloniex and c-cex accepted to reward me with free coins from bitcoin gold. I have been using this two exchange platforms and you can actually taking there word to any were. During the last splitting in August this year I have little fund in my poloniex account and I was actually rewarded with free bitcoin Cash coins and I will likely do the same this time around too.  Another thing that I will like to find out is that if bitcoin gold teams has not make any serious promise to give free coins like what bitcoin Cash teams promise in August. I have also see that this splitting coin has not make any serious campaign on like what we have last time.

What you said is truth! Many investors invest in gold because it was the first stone recognized to be precious and others one that were found later nobody care about there price except few. Bitcoin core on the other hand is like gold standard to others alternative coins. That is why whatever affect bitcoin will also affect most of the altcoins either positive or negative. Bitcoin core contains all the features of others cryptocurrencies and as a first cryptocoin, most of the structures of coins were link to it. That is why protecting the images of bitcoins is like protection of all others cryptocurrencies.

Falling of coins price is normal and I will still keep my bitcoin for long term. However ever if I will invest in any coins now it has to be the following coins: I will buy lisk since I have bought them several times and I have been making money through it several times, I will also invest in ethereum since is a bit reliable and has over 200% returned to most of the early this year investors, since I am holding some bitcoin cash, I will also like to invest into bitcoin cash, wave, zcash and litecoin will also be some of the coins I will invest in.

This your theory may hold and it may not hold as we cannot really tell what will happen to bitcoin in future accurately. I have also find out that bitcoin has not been able to go down even when russia government attack it last time. Bitcoin gold splitting from bitcoin core has stimulate bitcoin's price since last week because of the free coins and like you have said, Funds are flowing from altcoins to bitcoin currently. However bitcoin will not fall because of the way people are pumping it now because of free coins and people hardly  convert they bitcoin to any altcoins because they believe that bitcoin will be going up when altcoins are going up. It happened in August and history is going to repeat itself again.

This portfolio is a bit ok just that some good coins were left out. My portfolio is like this: hold 40% bitcoin, 10% ethereum, 10% wave and neo, 10% stratis and lisk 10% litecoin and 20% ico projects investment. I do make most of my trading income from ico and most times I am tempted to put in more than 20% of my risk capital. 40% of my risk capital is being hold in bitcoin for security reasons and I do believe that bitcoin is more reliable more than others coins. Many coins are out there that are very good but I do put most of my investment  into the one that I have read the white papers and know that the developers are following the road map of the projects.

If it will be like bitcoin cash thend I don't think bitcoin gold is going to be a failure. Bitcoin cash has performed very well if you look at the way many traders has speculated it to be. Many has said bitcoin cash is going to die before the end of August but uptill now its market capitalization is still above  $5b, according to the data from https://coinmarketcap.com. Bitcoin gold may be different a little because of the  ideas behind both of them. We all know that bitcoin core has out perform all of them and will ever remain the face of cryptocurrencies because of the ideas of satoshi and the structure it has developed so far.

I will go with your strategy number one. I have decided to stay with bitcoin and sending some of my coins to exchangers platforms that will give free bitcoin gold. I could not make good money during the last August hard fork and splitting but this time around I am going to take advantage of the free coins. I also believe that after the hard fork we may get an upward movement in bitcoin core price and altcoins may get dump including bitcoin cash because many traders may like to cash up with the trend . The second option also may likely happen as many bitcoiner may just decided to hold the coins in there private wallet in other not to be taken unaware. 

Bitcoin mining business was profitable then and many people or miners has make a lot of money around 2012 to 2014. Bitcoin has gone too high in price and to mining them now is very difficult not only light but it will take you a lot of time to make reasonable profits. I will advise you to mining altcoins as some of them are highly profitable now. Another way that is easy to do is investing into bitcoin is very profitable and most of the miners are diversified to buy and holding bitcoin. 1000euro is a very good money that you can use to buying bitcoin now and sell when the price has go up maybe in 2020.

Thank you op for this useful tips and I hope some newbies in trades has learned something significant on this thread. One more addition I will like to make on candlestick is for you to develop your skills and knowledge on how to interpret there formation in a professional ways. Candlestick formation or pattern has all the information you can get from any were about the assets you are trading. If you are looking for something like insiders secret about the assets you are trading then candlestick is the best option for you. You should spend a lot of time and money to develop your skills on it as this is what professionals traders do and most of the bots are configured to place a trader based on the signal from candlestick formations.

I don't know about mining mush but have deep knowledge on investments as I have about ten years experience in forex and commodities trading. From what I have read based on the comments I have read on this thread I think investment into cryptocoins market is far more profitable than mining though more risky than mining. In mining you risk of investing into a dead coins that will wipe out your entire investment is not there. If you buying a right tools and software you are sure of getting little coins daily. Trading on the other hand can make you a very huge profits in just few days and the opposite can also happens.

I have started to get use to bitcoin analysis and that has become part of me as I have to check bitcoin price several times to see if price is moving to my favour. I don't think that there is any hours for several months now that I don't check the price of bitcoin. I do refresh https://coinmarketcap.Com and https://coindesk.Com several times a day. Op you are not the only one in this as we are all configure to behave in this way. " were a man treasures is that is were his heart will also be" said by our Lord Jesus Christ. You mind is on bitcoin because you have treasures in it and since you have treasures in it you cannot but help to check the price several times in a day.

I do get most of my bitcoin and altcoins through trading and signature campaign. I have also been involved in faucets some time last year and doing micro jobs online for bitcoin. I am comfortable with my current earnings and do a little panic about it consistence time to time if not I could have lived my current job since.  I have participated in four bounties and my earnings from there is also helpful. I also tried to render cryptocurrencies consultancy services though it has not been materialized yet. Hope to go into bitcoin business fully by this time next year.

I have bought some lisk sometime ago and this coin do really appreciate. If it is about to make some gain again I think after making this  post I have to long into my account to be able to buy some lisk now that is not too expensive and hold till sometime next year. I have been trying to invest in some of the coins from the recent bitcoins gain and I have in mind that lisk will be the best options before come across this  post.  I could still remember that, that is how I hear about lisk last May and I bought it and to my surprised after few days with a profit of about 227%. Since then lisk has been one of my most favourite coins.

Hardfork is changing some bitcoin mining's laws and fee that makes bitcoin better/ bad in operation. If the forKS disagree, it will be bad for bitcoin and if they agreed based on some term then bitcoin will get pump. Like what happened in August this year when we have hardfork, bitcoin get pump because sigwit was activated after this a great agreement to change mining's laws. When should not pray for regular hardfork as op suggested because the more negativeserious one we have the more bitcoin get dump. We cannot continue have positive  one.For bitcoin to go mainstream we most work for its price stability and reliability. Many big investors will like to invest in bitcoin but are afraid of the way price fluctuate.

This your speculation may happen but I don't think bitcoin is going to dump to as low as $4500. I doubt if we would get to that level before end of this year. However, funds are going to flow back into alternative coins market from fiat and bitcoin market as many traders will definitely take profits from the recent up rising of bitcoin price. Sigwit2x activation and all the hardfork issues are going to push bitcoin price up like it happened during the last one in August this year. Moreso, we may experience both bitcoin and altcoins market getting pump as it happened after first of August splitting.

Nice to hear that people around Jamie Dimon are investing in bitcoin including his own daughter. I also had that majority of Jp Morgan staffs are bitcoiners.  The reality is that Jamie know what is doing maybe trying to make bitcoin popular through his comments and from there get his pay or trying to bring bitcoin down or lower so that his associates can buying cheap. In which ever way I think Jamie is up to something and bitcoin is ready for which ever way. My advise to many traders is that stop selling your coins because of comments from the enemy of cryptocoins technology.

Altcoins market has started to pick again as bitcoin core's investors find it very difficult to continue buying at the price we are now  $5768. The ask price of most of the major popular altcoins like ethereum and litecoin is increasing and even the volume of trade is increasing across most of the exchangers sites. Ethereum is currently around  $341 after breaking the upwards channel around  $307. Litecoin on the other hand has moved up to around  $59. Though bitcoin as they fathers did not carry them along and keep  them behind when it get pump three days ago above  $1000 increase within 24 hours.

I think this speculation will come to pass as the buying momentum only need to break  $6000 for us to get to $7000 and this may probably happen next week. I have been following the trend and it seen after a correction we would be heading toward  $7000. The hardfork in First of august this year has teach many of us leason and this next one that is Sigwit2x activation will not be mush different from that of August. Many people are also buying bitcoin now so that they can benefit from the free coins that is going to come out of the splitting.

Fund has started flowing from bitcoin to altcoins market  since last night and many coins have been pumping since yesterday. I have seen ethereum and others coins started appreciating in price since yesterday and this is happen because people have started taking profits from bitcoin all time high of $5875. Corrections is under way and bitcoin will fall a little bit further before another serious bullish momentum.
