Thanks, that helped although my question was of a more general nature and not specific to your project necessarily.
However, I dont think you addressed this:

Can someone explain the token metrics to me?

Specifically I don't know what the liquidity reserve is or what it's used for.

The team gets 18% and the company holds 20% - what's the 20% held for?

It seems like a lot of tokens are held by company/team (20% +18% + 9% = 47%).

Also, 4 year vesting with 1 year cliff means the tokens will be released in intervals of 1 year with the last portion released in 4 years, correct? Is it implied that it's a proportionate amount at each cliff, eg 4 years = 25% every time.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Hi

I hope I'm violating any rules by posting in English here.
There's a chance I have to relocate to Portugal and as I'm pretty heavily invested in crypto I need to know how I'm taxed there. Can anyone shed some light on how crypto gains are taxed in Portugal?

Thanks.

Quantstamp is surely the most interesting upcoming project right now IMO. They are looking to improve on the infrastructure of smartcontracts with regards to security and execution. Judging by the team this mission is within reach if you ask me. And if mission accomplished, this will be a top 10 or even 3 coin in time.

Is it possible to do a poll in this forum?
Would like to ask TA vs FA - what is the better strategy for predicting btc price movements?

Thanks. So no Wl and anyone can participate? Any individual cap? Any more info on token sale anywhere?

Is there a WL to sign up for the crowdsale?
Is there/was there a presale?
Edit: just saw telegram in ann.

Hi Dario,

I am having difficulties understanding why I have discrepancies between the balance shown at cointracker and my actual holdings.
To give you the most simple and obvious example:

I have deposited $20k, $20k and $100 to one exchange. This is the only exchange I have deposited fiat to and I have not made any fiat withdrawals or transfers, only used it to buy coins. All three deposits show up nicely with fees and everything in my trade list on CT. However, on my CT dashboard under current balances it says $663.54 and on the exchange it says 630.05 (I have $6 in my sub account but I'm pretty sure the API is only associated with my main account). I have also checked all transactions and they are all there with fees and everything.
Do you have any suggestion to what could cause this discrepancy?

Furthermore, when I untick 'Add Deposits & Withdrawals to remaining amount' my USD balance is $2097.33. This also confuses me a lot.

Current balances on my dashboard is the same as remaining amount with 'Add Deposits & Withdrawals to remaining amount' unticked (u)nrealized gains - correct?

Hi

I am trying to register for the Bithumb exchange.
Having a dropdown menu where you can choose country, I will assume they accept non-Korean citizens - correct me if I am wrong.
I chose my (EU) country but I'm having trouble getting the sms verification code sent to a non-Korean phone number (even though my name + address popped up when entering my phone number. I looked for customer support but didn't find an email and their ticket system demands that you log in first. Does anyone have a support email address or is there a representative present in this forum perhaps

Thanks.

Is it a commonly accepted viewpoint that this is happening? Thinking about it I'm actually surprised the bots haven't already taken over. The only reason bots aren't a bigger problem in poker is because they are relatively easily detected and gets banned. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any exchanges have banned nor have any interest in banning bots. The right algorithms can certainly beat most games with 4+ players at the table and I'd say they are further from perfect information in poker vs trading - do you agree?


Thanks a bunch. Read through the article on now working my way through the book.

Also thanks to the rest of the comments. Is there a way to thank/like comments btw?

This seems to good to be true. I saw a random youtube video with a guy (who didn’t come off as someone I would take advice from) advocating this strategy of basically watching candlestick charts irt and selling when prices are dropping and buying when they increase. Is anyone here practicing this successfully?


That’s a good point and one I wanted to incorporate in OP but left out to keep it simple.
Initially I set out to just buy and hold BTC and ETH (+1 year unless they come crashing down) but digging deeper into the crypto space I am now curious about trading in any time frame (I have the time).
What are the rules of thumb in terms of time intervals when people talk about short/long-term trading?
Nice examples. I looked up NEO and looking at the graph from the launch of the coin, the sudden increase is even clearer.
How do you handle a scenario like that? Say you notice a coin getting a lot of hype months after going steady and prices increase slightly – do you buy in even if you don’t believe in long term prospects but just to ride the ‘pump’ and sell before the 'dump'?
On FOMO: When/how do you decide that you are late for the party?



This mainly applies to short-term trading, correct? Hence mjglqw’s post above.



Actually 99% of my poker career was online . 6-10 max cash, then HU cash and lastly a short period of playing Spin’n’Gos.


Nice. Do you have any recommendations for a good book/resource for learning about this?
I have had the titles below recommended already:
“Top 10 Trading Setups: How to Find them, When to Trade them, How to Make Money with them” - by Ivaylo Ivanov
“Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns”- Thomas Bulkowski

Does anyone know these books?


Thanks all for the inputs. Much appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm new to the crypto space. I played professional poker for the past many years and thinking about trying out trading cryptos. However, I am skeptical from a game theoretic point of view as to whether I can gain an edge.

In poker part of your edge comes from knowing who your opponents are. With that information you can select your opposition to a certain degree, thereby increasing your edge. In the world of trading this is not really possible. I guess maybe some exchanges will have softer competition than others but you don't know exactly who you're trading with (amateurs or pros).

From what I understand the main skills needed is to predict trends and understand the potential of the new technologies popping up. On a micro-level that would translate to:
a) Being first at receiving market news and understanding how they will affect certain coins and the market as a whole.
b) Understanding market dynamics including being able to use a variety of charts to identify possible patterns.
c) Have a technical understanding of the technologies behind the different coins and thereby being able to estimate their potential.

1) Am I missing some?
2) How would you weigh these skill sets?
3) Is it possible to gain an edge without much technical knowledge?

4) Someone told me around 1 in 10 traders are able to beat the market. Not sure where he has the number from though or if was on the stock or crypto market. Has anyone heard a similar or different number?

Lastly if anyone can link to previous best threads on:
- Best books for learning trading.
- Trading strategies in general

Sorry if this post comes off messy. I still have a bunch of questions but I'm gonna cut it short here and save the rest for a different post.
