There is money to be mad in cryto but it is all very speculative. I would never dream of putting any serious funds into it

So true, but I think it’s a good option as a long time investment!

Cryptos are risky - we all know this. But those symbols are still tradable and getting more popular each day. Cryptos are definitely something different on the market. Also you have a lot of options, entertainment with the price changing - something which is considered by the 'rich' traders as interesting.
I consider the cryptos non-tradable for the average trader and very much tradable for the traders who like to risk a lot and that do not care about the account balance. It's up to you guys - trade what you like and don't take someone's opinion as a must :) GL

It’s a good plan! For short-term trading cryto is too much risky; I have also a buy trade from 2K (BTC/USD)! I am holding this trade with a long time target.

Currently Bitcoin software is still in beta with many incomplete features in active development. New tools, features, and services are being developed to make Bitcoin more secure and accessible to the masses. Some of these are still not ready for everyone. Most Bitcoin businesses are new and still offer no insurance. Currently its bit risky to invest in bitcoins rather I would prefer to invest in Gold.

Forex is dead in the EU.

Now crypto will rise.

Not at all :)
Just the brokers will apply for licenses in exotic places in the world... and then will attract clients with high leverage but in different legal entity. To bring some more clearance, here is an example:
Company 'A' is a solid EU regulated broker with many clients and the same broker establish company 'AA' in Marshal Islands. Now when a client (new, but this is valid also for current clients as well) comes to them asking to open a trade account, the company representative will explain - if the client open account with company 'A' then EU regulation should be applicable, but if he select company 'AA' which is the same company, the client may use conditions offered by 'AA'. :)

This is just very basic example :)

Trading crypto is like driving F1 - lot of adrenalin, lot of profit.
Trading forex is calm and stable income, but boring.

That won't kill Forex. Forex trading is here to stay. There are restrictions like that in the US and there are still plenty of Forex traders. Just because there are leverage restrictions it won't stop people putting in money

The link you provided is NOT referring to Spot Forex.
The link you provided refers to DERIVATIVES of Spot Forex, namely CFDs (Contract For Difference) and Binary Options.

An explanation of the difference between Spot Forex and Forex CFDs:

Derivatives are being regulated, and the same approach needs to be taken with cryptocurrency - the sooner the better. Cryptocurrency is currently where Binary Options were five or ten years ago...

(Spot) Forex is not 'dead'. Get your facts straight.

Interesting chart but I would take a 26000% gain one year and a -76% fall the next any day of the week

You are comparing the whole year of 2017 with couple of months of 2018. At the end of 2018 these number will look completely different. Hopefully better :)

True, the comparison chart only displays partial results for 2018 compared to whole year results for 2017. Early days yet for this year (things may only get worse).

Keep in mind: a loss of 50% requires a gain of 100% to recover.

Maybe, it will! But, right now it’s under 7000 USD. Really frustrating.

Do you know in JAN 17 it was under 1,000 :)
