[AMA] Ask a Crypto Currency trader anything

[ArtisanSEO]

I have been been managing funds and margin trading Bitcoin and alts full time for over 2 years now, it's been a crazy thrilling ride.

To celebrate this I'd like to give back some advice to this community as it has helped me a lot during my IM days.

So ask away, I will answer any trading / investment related questions to the best of my ability.

Peace

What funds do you manage and why have you decided to post this after not posting on this forum for more than a year?

So, around Sep 11, you predicted BTC will deplete in value in next 3 months?
Dude! Its 8k now!

If I throw a basket ball at 145mph and the ring is 7ft tall, how many days would it take me to double my investment?

 

[REDOnyx]

You think POWR has reached its peak or will it continue to raise to higher sats?

I manage several crypto funds which include long term exposure investment and also short term.

And for your second question, read OP, I used to be somewhat active on this forum but gotten too busy to stay active.. I've learned a lot from BHW, gotta give back someday!

I'm no expert but i'd say around 12 parsecs, give or take.

You're reading the timing wrong, that projection was for august, and i was correct. You gotta hit that play button on the right.

Good question. Although right now is not the best time for long term Bitcoin investments (it should top by the end of the year), there are good opportunities in altcoins.
Ethereum is an excellent investment right now, it has spent 165 days with no new high (long time in crypto world)

NEO is also a good investment, chinese version of Ethereum.

Always do your own research, dont put money in ICOs, dont invest in low capitalisation coins or coins which do not offer much value, i.e, Litecoin.
Look into dollar cost average, invest an affordable % every week / month which you can afford.

None. You'd lose money with that attitude.

What's coin trend to day and next week?

You think POWR has reached its peak or will it continue to raise to higher sats?

We don't invest / trade illiquid and risky markets like POWR, but looking at the chart it is showing some bullish traditional patterns.
Although I don't trust 80% of these new coins as the market is being controlled by very few people and most of them are scams. I avoid them as much as possible.

Exchange(s) of choice?

When buying alt coins through a place like Bittrex, would you buy them with ETH or BTC or LTC or some other way?

When an ICO comes out, gets pumped, then gets dumped and disappears, who made all the money? The guys who invented it or the first potential buyers that heard about it?

[Buzzika]

wallet recommendations that can hand multiple altcoins?
For BTC I just stick with electrum.
Not sure what to use when I start playing with altcoins.

 

[living2xl]

Monacoin? Or not

 

[primechecker]

Do you know any good guide for crypto trading and investing for starters?

 

[TylerSplash]

Why exactly do you see NEO as a good investment? Everyone is raving about how big they are over in China, meanwhile 90% of trading volume comes from the west. NEO has an enormous hurdle ahead and there's hardly any decent projects using the platform it has put forth as it is. I don't see it, sorry.

NEO will the same BCH and BTG :v :v

Bittrex, Bitfinex and bitmex.
I'd buy with whichever pair is convenient, not sure why that would matter.

The way that a pump and dump works is that they take the asset to a high enough price which would cause people to emotionally buy in due to fear of missing out and then dump the price until the guys which bought in at the top sell their coins at the bottom, repeat, make profit..
What you're describing is an exit pump, they take the coin to a high enough price to cause FOMO, and pumpers begin selling all their coins causing a dump.. the only people which made money is the pumpers and lucky ones which bought cheaper and sold at their distribution price.. The guys whch created the coin is responsable for this.

I can't share my strategies. Not sure what indicator you're referring to, tell me in PM.
Will be posting a crypto trading course.

Exodus is great for multiple coins, dont forget to create backups.

I am not here to convince people. Do your own research, but i can say that China will only allow ICOs with NEO.
