So I want to get into trading.

[Dudeperfect]

If look at the current progress, maybe it could reach $ 3k but I think maybe a few months ahead. And if this happens it will be good news for bitcoin users and will boost confidence to reach $ 4k next year. And it would be nice if continue to hold bitcoin because it could be a good investment and safe in my opinion.

The growth of the bitcoin on price chart is directly proportional to the growth of the users and demand in the market. Now considering the market conditions and the perception about bitcoin in outsider world, I have no doubt that we will have at least 100% growth in next couple of years in the user base. There are many people (users/investors) are waiting outside, looking for a perfect opportunity to join us. I believe we are going to see $5K on the price chart within a couple of years.

Obviously, I need BTC to get in but it seems like everything is high right now.  Should I wait till BTC is < 2k? Or ETH < 200? I'd like to get in and start trading alt coins.  But for me to maximize my profits in USD I need to wait till BTC is at a reasonable cost.  Or do you guys see it climbing to 3k in the next couple of months?

I believe the best thing to do is to start buying now, a little at time.. if the price will go up, you will be happy that you bought now - if it will go down, you will keep buying more and so on (just don't invest all the cash you have, but a small portion every time you feel like it)

This must be a working strategy as it will ensure the do not miss any opportunity like missing out current prices as well covering any future dumps also. As no trader is capable of predicting exact low prices for buying, following this strategy will ensure them buying at possible better average prices.

We can follow the same thing when we are going for selling. But with respect to potential of bitcoins, we do not need to sell bitcoins for at least next 10 years.

I think you need to study how the market work as you cannot really make it in trading without adequate knowledge on fundamental and technical issues on the asset you are trading. Expecting bitcoin to fell to this in just a  short time may not happen as you could have taken that opportunity last week.

Yes, I am sure bitcoin is goining only to climb higher next months, someone even supposed the top point as 3500$ before bitcoin will start to drop back. I think you may wait for yours < 2000$ very long. You can start to trade with that amount of coins that you have now, yes, the profit is going to be not so big, but at least something. Good luck!

For me he can invest in ETH too together with BTC. Though btc is very promising, but it is quite expensive right now, but still it has room for improvement or to grow. Also, in the case of ETH, it is quite popular right now, it popularizes the Eth platform and more Tokens are being successful  being launch here.

Fundamental and technical analysis knowledge are very important to achieve success in trading. But we do see people are thinking about making money from trading but none of them focusing on learning phase of trading. I guess a trader always must focus on improving knowledge so that we can withstand any type of market volatility/fluctuations.

Bitcoin is very high,... or too high for me
it raises too fast and people hunt for more. I dont think it is a good sign, I like the price rising but if it is too fast then it is scary.
Trust me, I have quite lots of btc,
but we have to maintain the price not only to raise it if someone wants to buy it.

I dont think anyone could predict the price,... if I could advise, chekc ICO and cheaper coins from your fiat directly (like coinbase to buy other coin - not btc).

starting into trade do not depend on the price of the bitcoin but when you start the trade then it depend on the price of bitcoin then you will look that where the price of bitcoin is going and how you will earn. I will say you start the trade to buy bitcoin.

indeed even btc value is too high if you really wanted to start trading you can still do it because what if the price won't went down and
continuously rising up? it will be much higher so better to start and keep your research and study to plan your own strategy or method
you have to set this in order to survive inside trading activities.

You're right! Buying now will be the best because we never know when will be the pump and dump of btc. When I trade altcoin I always use the averaging strategy (buying more when the price goes down) since I am not good in TA yet, and I can say it is very effective.

I too prefer buying low, because I too was new too trading. So now only way that I prefer is buying low and selling high. With altcoins the price pumping won't be happening often, so used to hold and sell even if the price increase happens to small margin.

Trading is really hard. There is a high risk in the trading and it is very unpredictable. Before we enter in the trading we make sure that we study the progress of the trading we want to trade. I want also to enter the trading world but I'm not yet ready.

One way to learn all these is to start with cheaper coins like Bitbay or  Bytecoin which the price is just 0.00000125 BTC.
Read it that its better to trade with cheaper coin and high quantity. You will have about 5Million of bytecoin and you can seriously earn trading and accumulating more of it by simply dumping and buying back each time.

The same applies to me. I am that kind of person who panic sells everything in case of market crash so as to at least get back something instead of becoming a bag holder.
I am kind of working on my situation and want to start day trading and I kind of like arbitrage, it's like easy and free money, you just have to buy and sell at right time.

[MnemonicInsomnia]

I've been trading crypto for a few years and had zero prior trading experience... I make more money when I keep it simple. I suggest staying far away from Poloniex and use Bitfinex instead. Bitfinex currently has 8 coins... and that's all you need to make money.


Every month, I predict which 4 coins will gain the most ground within that month... that means I stick to one coin per week. I know people say don't put all your eggs in one basket, but I'm looking to pull off only 2 trades per week that yield massive profit. Last month was my most successful month. On May 1st, I had $50,000 in crypto... today I have $250,000.


I invested everything into LTC. Segwit pumped, then I dumped everything into ETC. BTCC pumped, then I sank everything into XRP. XRP pumped, then I dumped everything into ZEC. Yes, i did miss the Morgan Stanley pump. Oh well. Couple days ago I sank everything into XMR before that pumped. Then, went back into ZEC last night at 3 in the morning and made about $30k off this mornings pump. Sold at 0.11 BTC.


Bought about 1,000 ZEC at 0.1 BTC couple hours ago and think I'll sleep on that.


Be smart, do hours of research every day, and trade like you got balls.

Invest actively and trade passively.

Invest actively and trade passively.

Does it mean we should focus on long term analysis so that we can get assure profits ? I need to agree with as my experience with cryptocurrencies has proved this many times. The key difference between trading and investing is time duration taken for profit booking. When we invest actively, we may need to wait for some longer period and with respect to bitcoin investments the more we wait, more the profits.

But active trading also will be profitable but we need to perform it with the support of strong technical analysis skills. Otherwise just focusing on investing would be a perfect decisions to prevent losses.

Traders deal with that every day, what you have post now. You wish to buy 1 BTC or 1 ETH, and difference in price here is big. With 1 BTC you can buy 10 ETH, but what will bring higher profit in next few days or months, everyone would like to know answer on that question, that brings profit.
I think price of BTC will go even higher, ETH is climbing like crazy also, so maybe best is to split your money on half an buy both, you will make profit on one coin that is good, risk from losing money is not so big.

I think you understand my angle.
My buying (investing) is consistent/short term, but my selling (trading) is inconsistent/long term. HODL.

if there is any dump of the price, then i think its a good chance to buy bitcoin but if you are not sure, then you can waited for a moment and see how the trends going up or down. this is not just for bitcoin but its related with altcoin so when you want to buy, make sure you know in how much price you want to buy the coins.
