ok so you're including all coins, even the ones that never get launched or hit Coinmarketcap, even the ones never listed on exchanges

6300 and going strong.

Guess what I did folks? I bought BTC when it was at $5800 and then sold it when it was at $6300. So let's see, let's do the math here....

Yeah, rocket science.

Buy any mid - high cap on the contrarian method usually work wonders. CMC page 1 biggest losers if negative 25%+ buy... or if holding on same rise.. dump it!

Would It be nice to go back to the 4000 dollar mark?

Thatd be great , apparently $5k is around the area many large institutions would jukp into BTC. Altho i dont think we can hit that low soon.

Haha , bizo!!

No, that # would be way over 1000. The list above of about 800 is coin with market cap of *50m or above*. Now we all know that "market cap" at the scam level only means a few suckers bought tens of thousands, but some of them apparently sold millions worth before going belly up.

such a smart guy like you should know the answer :-)

I'm smart enough to know and accept I don't know everything :)

Thing is, everyone knows the risk of investing in shitcoins and ico's. They are all interest still in the hopes that shit shitcoin will be the next bitcoin. Nothing can replicate the awesomeness of bitcoin

Beware all crypto besides bitcoin or the established handfuls (imo)

Thommy = exactly opposite of that lol

Nice swing range. If this can be maintained, traders stand to make lots of fairly easy money.

Bingo. With a handful of exceptions all other crypto is bullshit.

That's how I did it, riding the swing. But I've also lost money that way (not as much as I've gained so I am stopping while ahead lol).

I'd like some basic strategies for Alerts and such tho. Any good reading (besides our resident crypto experts)?

I read the craziest stuff today.... There's actually a prediction that BTC will crash because it's too slow and its authentication technology is obsolete. Obsolete? 10 years old maybe but not obsolete.

There IS such a thing as first mover advantage

People will FUD you to death if you let them. Bitcoin is changing the world so talking about it in relation to being obsolete is someone trying to implant worry (FUD)into you.

Can you share the sourse of this ?

Listen to Andreas Antonopoulos vids and ask him your question/worries via his Q&A, will put your mind at ease

That is sound logic, but BTC is really 8 years old or so. That isn't a real test. It is a proven concept, for sure, but now it needs the problems removed.

BTC is a hobby currency with a $113,523,676,552 market cap, less than half the cap of one of the average Dow components.

A real digital currency would have a cap of $15 Trillion at least and that would require acceptance of governments.

BTC is not the killer app. That is coming soon.

Bitcoin is a decentralized non inflated piece of awesomeness that ppl mostly dont know or feel they want or need.... yet. When ppl open their eyes and realize how badly banks and govs have fucked them them...they will embrace BTC .

$15 trill will take time to accomplish. But def possible imo

Here's one of them https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbest.../#78d0a80a68dc There were a few

Just sold :-(

Thanks for posting man... ya.. his argument in that is almost all invalid with Lighting network. If anyone complains about fees means they dont know anything, or believe what anyone tells them, or doesnt use bitcoin. It is literally 1-5 sats yet many anti BTC idiots still say "oh the fees the fees" lol

No balls, no belief or just in need of money?

BTC definitely has FIRST MOVER advantage. Hard to dislodge that.

Cha-ching!!

God´s gift is only for those who BELIEVE

Its great to see the get-rich-quick ppls exiting from crypto :thumbsup

How widely distributed is Lightning? Will it ever be incorporated into the core code of BTC or will it always be an additional layer?

Read this article carefully:

This is how the price was manipulated.
There's no real demand.
Bitcoin is pretty much useless.
The price will continue to slowly decline.

Until it EXPLODES 100x.

True. The same baseline realities can work the other way.

in the last 2 months most crypto action has been due to artificial pumps and dumps creating action...when bitcoin is left alone it just ranges to the side with no significant action or interest whatsoever...

the cart below is typical and changes like this happen once per week just to keep the action artificially going...5min candles:

the little hype you can see at the moment is a result of the decrease of china´s yuan.

it is a short term effect because all of them will invest in dollars and euros with the next interest increase.

as bitcoins does not have an own value but is always compared to currencies it seems for some people to be a "secure harbor" - but is isn´t as long as you can not say that a bottle of milk will cost X bitcoins. instead of that the bottle of milk will have a price in dollar or euro or whatever.

no normal investor will putt his money into stocks at the moment. what the dow still keeps alive are the billions what went back from offshore and companies do buy their own shares with it.

so in a healthy economy the dow should go above the clouds - what is not the case even with all this billions.
I am pretty sure that the DOW will be within the next 3 months around 20.000 and falling and this is the reason why people trying alternatives until the basic interest is high enough to make money without risk. then all this money will go back in traditional interest papers but not in shares and not in bitcoins.

world economy crisis is on its way and comes in 5...4...3...

What about the fact that there is only a FIXED amount of Bitcoin that can be mined?
You can't just 'print' out BTC like fiat currency

Praise Jesus

I agree my man. We're also soon about to hit the 6th. We're already in that range. The predictions are piling up, the money is flowing. I just hope people listen to us.

If i can be so bold to expand a bit on your analysis and add my few cents, maybe the nabs will see.

Here's my alarm graph with a curve that naturally displays organic STD and BST set on alarms based on TUSD and FETH movements that correlate with curves.

I think it's fairly simple and easy to understand, even to layman how you can set these alarms and be in huge cash. However, i understand, all these abbreviations and graph analysis can be tough on someone that never did any of this, so, there's a far simpler graph we can all follow and i think its easy to understand. It's a basic concept of rise and fall.

Here's the graph.

I think it's selfexplanatory. I hope you won't take this the wrong way like the last time, i just wanted to explore your graphs a little more since im sure not many people can read them as well as me and you.

my 2c. Im cashing out big on the 6th, alarm is already set.:thumbsup

The low fees, the instant transactions, and the lack of a middle man are some of the good things about BTC.

yes a fixed ammount of bitcoin, litecoin, etherum, fuckcoin and a few 10 thousand others.
the only value such a coin would have got lost when it was mined. it is the energy what was used to mine it.

what is so hard to understand what money is ?
