So many ICOs right now. Everyone is trying to get in on the excitement of crypto. I would only consider trading the top 5 crypto and even then only in small amounts. More of a gamble than anything else. Even the oldest crypto BTC is very volatile

To the people saying you don't need leverage to trade with Bitcoin, that's untrue.
Higher risks come with higher rewards... If you know what you're doing, and you work within the industry, you will be able to see the ups and down trends so you can push for short orders.
There's a lot of content and step-by-step tutorials you can read on the internet about trading with Bitcoin.
https://insidebitcoins.com/trading/bitcoin for instance, has a few brokers and explains the basics to beginners.

Have you ever looked at daily volatility of any coin, how many times you can survive before blowing up your accounts?
If you are talking about leveraging at 1:2 or 1:3 for shorting purpose as well, it is okay. But more than that for "high risk high return" illusion is simply just insane, a small dump/pump will blow your accounts. If you know the fundamental of any Value at Risk (VAR) model, then you know what I mean.

Can you explain more about the "Value at Risk (VAR) model" - I have not head of that before? is it a way to trade crypto?
It is a factor to consider when you build trading strategy. VAR is common risk management model.
VaR are models that study the extreme events of your investment assets (Btc,eth in this case). Basically you divide the whole history data of BTC to equal-length periods (days - weeks), pick extreme point (up or down) in each period. And then build the model to simulate those extreme points arrays.
It answers the question what is the probability you will lose x% of your accounts in next period (days-weeks) if you trade y position.
There are many VaR model. I personally use Extreme Value Theory because it is easy to apply.
You may find some useful resources here:

- https://www.statisticshowto.datasciencecentral.com/extreme-value-distribution/
A bit complicated but I hope it is helpful.

So you think it's all scam all this crypto world or how it's to explain ? I haven't read whole 42 pages of this thread, but basically I see forex like more stable source of income since it depends on real currencies and that's it, it's backed by something real.

If you don’t have an emergency cash fund, you should not invest in cryptocurrency,. Don’t treat cryptocurrencies as an equivalent. While cryptocurrencies may be ‘liquid’ to trade against other cryptocurrency, they are not so liquid in real life. Withdrawing cryptocurrency and exchanging them for fiat always takes longer than you think. It can be an extremely arduous process.

Crypto is still a very high risk asset. Sure you could make big gains but there could also be losses. I see crypto as a novelty speculation assets. Worth a few % of your account but no more

A valid opinion, but please back up your statements with links to articles or evidence.

This thread intends to balance the overly-optimistic perspectives on Cryptocurrencies as portrayed in other threads (especially Leo23s).
It is important that all aspects (both positive and negative) are considered before making an objective decision to invest. Discussion is fine, except when contrarian perspectives or information is censored. People should be permitted to make up their own minds and not be silenced simply because they speak the truth or hold opposing views.
Thank you for supporting free speech.

In other words, this thread is intended as the forum where those participants that have been censored in Leo23s post, have an opportunity to contribute their contrarian perspectives (with evidence please).
