Yesterday I just lost 1.8k USD, maybe in USA or in West Europe that's doesn't much, but here in my shitty country that's a f* big amount of money. Here the minimum wage is ~ 300 USD / month. So that's like 6 month of work if I cut my bread and water and live on air. Half of my saving were other investments, but anyways... I'm feeling shitty right now. Oh, and I break my laptop. So yeah, that's another - 500 usd.

I though I can trade. Buy low, sell high. Sounds good, doesn't work.

Looking at the charts and candle sticks and watching old bitcoin values, and huge spikes (pump, I saw here how people uses the pump word, daaaamn...) I was... yeah, I can totally do that. I'll just buy when it's low, and sell it when it reaches the top. Well, I was wrong. You can't see the future, otherwise everyone would be a millionaire. That would be true if you would have a delorean from '85 with Emmett Brown and Marty Mcfly and you could f* travel in future and see the PUMPS!!!1

So anyone who will read this message (noobs like me) if you don't have any trading experience, don't do it. There are expert traders who know how this market works, when to buy and when to sell. Don't assume your skills by watching youtube videos and reading "daily indexes and predictions" of how the price will rise or go down by shitty sites. That's just dumb. You don't know what's gonna happen. Maybe a little bit of luck, or I don't know.

So yeah, from now on, I'll just leave the trading area for experts and I will invest in bitcoin by buying every 2 week or monthly and saving into my wallet. And one day (I hope so) the price will rise and I will buy for my self a delorean.

Cheers!

I can't really say much about the specifics for JPN currency, but here in the US.. you can sign up for an exchange like GDAX/coinbase and transfer BTC there to sell it to withdraw to USD.. you don't necessarily have to buy the USD on that exchange to transfer it to bank account (provided you pass KYC procedures and pay for the fees... if for some reason you need to have JPN currency on exchange to sell, then just buy a stack at whatever price and sell that BTC stack along with the BTC stack you already have later...

On GDAX BTC/USD pair you can for example have 10 bitcoin and 100,000 dollars on the same pair, and having USD for example wouldn't automatically transfer it to your account so you can park it as a placeholder until you wanted to buy with USD at a later date.

the BTC/JPN pair should work both ways however, switching one for the other over and over if youre doing it on an actual exchange instead of some instant "sell now" or "buy now" built into the site as automated...

To answer your question directly you "SHOULD" be able to hodl btc on the exchange until the price reaches a certain price and then sell it to JPN.. you should then have JPN parked on the exchange to either move to withdrawal into a bank account or rebuy BTC at a better price as a day trade.. its hard to imagine the limitations youre describing on an exchange unless its some sort of automated "cash out to bank" by hitting a button and its not really a 2way exchange.
