Buy low - Sell high the common strategy for traders
I have question on this. Say you buy bitcoin at say $250. Let say you bought 20 of them so $5000 and you paid 1 percent fee to get it so $5050. So you look at bitcoin price and let say after 2 days it goes up to $270. Now you see you are up $20 per bitcoin and have 20 bitcoins so you are up $400 - $50 fee. But if you want to sell thse $5400 in bitcoin, it will cost you 1 percent thus $54 correct? Thus you would get $5346 in total. Then of course you paid $50 earlier when you bought it. So $5346-$50= $5296. So basically in this situation, you make $296 in 2 days correct? So isn't it good strategy to keep checking btc price and once it goes very high, immediately sell it? Then wait for price to drop, then buy it. Then wait for price to up then sell it again vice versa? Of course it can keep going down but im curious if lot of ppl do this and if so, is there a way where you dont have to pay a 1 percent fee each time buying and selling since that eats up a lot of your profit assuming you keep buy/sell a lot such as every few days? What about those ppl that buy/sell a lot everyday etc that has lots of bitcoin etc?

What about those ppl that buy/sell a lot everyday etc that has lots of bitcoin etc? this work only if the there are everytime big bubbles and then big crash, but this isn't the case, you see we are stuck there at 230-250... many good traders rich in bitcoin can do good with shorting, so the fee for them isn't a problem for example with the current price, who shorted at 250 and bought back at 230 would have gained 20, 1 % of fee is only 0.2....

Buy all the bitcoin in existence so you set the price and nobody can tank the markets constantly.
I'm waiting for a government to do just that. It will happen. The first tycoon figure that out will control the price ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

The localbitcoins method is a great way to earn bitcoin on a regular basis guarenteed. Like me, after waiting 30 days after my first purchase with a verified credit card at coinbase, I have a 1,000 instant buy weekly limit which is plenty, because if you buy $50 worth, it doesnt take 7 days to go back to 1000, it grows back up...I think it's about $2 per hour...
I use a netspend card, and sell bitcoins for the netspend reload packs, or netspend flashpay, i dont ask for receipts or pictures, because I always turn the money RIGHT back into bitcoin..Ive never had a chargeback using this method. Over 1,000 trades.
Good luck!

In short, bitcoin would lose its value if it's bought by a single entity. That would be a dumb move to make if you might ask me.

The main strategy is Buy low sell high. That is the main strategy that you can use , but there are some strategies that make you have a big profit in selling btc like If you sell a btc and your target price is 200$=1 btc (example) then make your selling price to 220$ so that if they make a bid or they want a discount you can make it 210$ OR 200$ . Now you have your target price and then if they not make a bid or discount you have a 20$ profit.

And if you buy all thr bitcoin and you set the price of it? The bitcoin users will not agree with that. And also the government they not want to outweigh both of you and the bitcoin users.

I know the OP will never care to see this, but for discussions sake: Selling in markets where Bitcoin is uncommon is the best way to profit off BTC. In a few foreign markets where Bitcoin is highly valued due to multiple reasons, BTC can be sold at ridiculous markups because the demand for Bitcoin is too high and the supply just can't keep up. If you're entering this type of market you need to isolate yourself from other sellers which can be a problem. Notorious example is Ebay. We've all seen the ridiculous prices offered on Ebay that can range from a 20 to 30 percent increased price rate, and even at that they sell because the demand is huge. Like I said, it's all about the market. Find yourself a place where BTC is hard is highly valued and get straight sales at amazing rates for the seller.

sell them on localbitcoin(after you bought them on any other exchange or where you want), because due to the advantages that localbitcoin brings, you could set a higher price(something like 5-10), thus earning on your selling

I think it is not easy to find the ppl from the localbitcoin, who are willing to pay premium like 5-10. They can directly buy at market price from exchange.

Bitcoin cap and volume is huge. No one can easily control the price. You are placing the sell order at 220$. The other could possible place the sell order at 200$. And the buyers could pace buy order at 190$. So do you get my points?

It is common sense. But the fact is that most of the traders are losing money. I think the most important part is yourself. You should set your buying price, selling price and how much you want to earn. Of course the plan should be applicable and persistent. No many ppl can achieve that.

They can directly buy at market price from exchange. yeah but it would be slower and not anon, also localbitcoin is more confortable to use in many zone, this is the reason why people are willing to pay more for that service take a look at all the sellers, basically everyone is charging +5% at least, and i don't think that all those are not able to sell at the end....

This strategies need a patient but it can make you a big profit. If they dont want your price find another buyer . Thats it.
