Re: Holding is bullshit?

It seems that you believe that investing is a kind of lottery. Of course, if you're very lucky you can guess a coin with 10.000% profit in a year, but you can't count on this. You need to have a strategy.

We are always late on something. But if we waste time regretting the lost opportunities, we also lose what we could gather now.

You MUST be afraid of hackers, if you want to save your money.
This doesn't mean that you have to become obsessed; just be afraid enough to take tne necessary measures of safety.

Re: Are Airdrops Profitable?

They can be profitable, but you can't know it in advance; so you need to participate in a lot of airdrops, hoping to catch the winning one.
It's lottery, not investing.

Re: Bitcoin traders, why don't you just trade forex?

Forex is a market where institutional investors move, is very stable and earns on micro-movements. Crypto allows much greater profits, if you know how to work, but obviously also big losses.

We are always late on something, you can not attend all the parties. But we can check which parties are in progress now, and find the one that is worth participating in.

You have to be both: if you are not strategic, you do not have a vision and your action does not lead anywhere.
And if you're not smart ... well, you can be sure that things will go wrong Smiley

Re: Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

Volatility is what makes the bitocin interesting, and that allows experienced traders to make big profits.
Obviously, if you are not able to handle it you get only big losses.

It's true. We continue to regret something of the past or to make dreams about the future, without understanding that the only time when things can be done is the present.


We are always late for  everything we could have done yesterday, but we didn't.
There are a lot of parties to go, a lot of trains to take, and sometimes we miss the winning ones.
But to regret is completely useless.
Moreover, if we lose our energy with regret, we will lose the parties that we could attend now.
So, if in the next months you don't want to ask again "Am I late?", stop whining and act now!

Well, they're just marketing promotional tools, so you can not expect too much.
On the other hand, it takes little time to get in, and sometimes you can have pleasant surprises.

Re: When your token goes down hard, are you going to sell it?
by
Cryptolupus
on 06/03/2018, 23:07:36 UTC
It depends what your opinion about future is: to sell something what it's going down usually it's not a good idea (I'd rather buy...).
But of course, if you think that it's going to die, it's better to sell and  forget about it.

Facebook is a totalitarian plattform, and you have nobody to discuss with.
So, it's true that they have banned only sponsored ads about ICO, if someone report you to a moderator, they'll block your account, and ot have it back is really difficult.
So, take care.

Re: How careful are you?
by

Well, I'm very paranoid, but I don't respect ALL of these indications.
Actually, some of them seem a little exagerated to me: if you have a good general protection, usually it's not necessary to change your password too often, or to have different password for any service you use.
But I admit that it would be a good idea.
I'll think about what to implement.



Do you...

1. Keep a cold storage for your hodl coins.
2. Use a ledger.
3. Keep a paper copy of your priv-keys
4. Create your transactions off-line and then launch them on-line.
5. Have different passwords for ALL the services you use.
6. Change your password often

How many points do you "score" out of these typical security advices?

Myetherwallet is very safe, but - as you know - it doesn't offer any protection.
So, there are a lot of security measures that you can take, and metamask is one of them.
It works very fine, and the protection is full.

Re: Cryptocurrency Will Kill Cash ? Is this True
by
Cryptolupus
on 04/03/2018, 11:05:52 UTC
The present high volatility has nothing to do with bitcoin itself.
Actually, in some country that suffered hyperinflation, the devaluation was much bigger, and we talk about "real" money.

In fact, with bitcoin may be you lose, but may be you are lucky and the next morning it will have a +20% overnight!
You can bet that with fiat money this will never happen!

Btw, in the future may be bitcoin will become more stable, but even in this case it will be very difficult to get completely rid of paper money.
But you know, everything is possible, so may be in short time all of us will have a QRcode tattooed somewhere, or just a chip underskin...
Scaring, but very possible.



I personally do not believe the cash will be replaced by whatever the crypto, although I hope to be mistaken.
The crypto are more to be a value reserve, as are gold or stock markets.
Why do you think so? Cryptocurrency has all the preconditions to replace fiat money.

Really? Would you like to receive your salary in BTC and find the next morning it just suffered a devaluation  of 20% overnight?

Whether we like it or not, fiat will keep playing a major role in our lives due to it's stability.

Cryptos are becoming more and more attractive has commodities to invest in instead of leaving the money in the bank.

But I don't see how I can pay my groceries with crypto unstable has it is.

Re: How do you deal with loss?

The only healthy way to deal with losses is to accept them (btw, if you don't accept them, it doesn't change anything...), learn what you can learn, and move on to the next trade. That's all.

I don't give my personal data to unknown entity: most of ICO don't offer any any guarantee of seriousness: how do I know that they won't sell my data on the black market?
Do you have an idea about what a bad guy can do with your personal data AND a scan of your passport?

High volatility is a bad thing if you don't know how to master it.
If you have good skill and technical bases, it's very easy to make big profit even with a modest capital.

Re: Some things to consider before starting a business
by
Cryptolupus
on 25/02/2018, 14:16:32 UTC
Of course, there are countless things to consider when you want to start a business, and you can find good checklists everywhere.
But the real point to check is if you own the right mindset: 90% of people can't run a business not by lack of skill, but by lack of self discipline.
It's very difficult to be productive when you are your own boss.
So, check this aspect on yourself: without this, all rest is insignificant.
