Maybe there are good reasons to not trade Crypto but the fact is that the price has rocketed and people have made millions. I think crypto can be traded but only as a small % of your portfolio

- Although I have lost half of the money that I put in Crypto, I am still hopeful that the prices will rise once again 😊.

It is that mindset that prevents bitcoin from hitting the floor .. Please do not sell they just see it as a blip and soon they will be millionaires . For many bitcoin is like a lottery ticket

This thread is in response to Leo23's discussion: 'Trading the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin,Etherium, Litecoin etc....'
https://www.myfxbook.com/community/general/trading-cryptocurrencies-bitcoinetherium-litecoin-etc/1513362,1

I am blocked and unable to post in his thread, but I would like to share some important information related to cryptocurrencies that all investors/traders should be made aware of prior to their foray into this new market.

My only questions are:
- Is this another case of Tulip-mania?
- Does Leo23 have a vested interest in garnering support for investment interest in cryptocurrencies?

Here is an important article I think the community should read to get a better understanding of recent growth in cryptocurrency demand (specifically BTC):

https://protradingresearch.com/2017/12/14/one-bank-believes-it-found-the-identity-of-who-is-propping-up-the-bitcoin-market/

Sharing (information) is caring. 😎 Feel welcome to share your personal and professional opinion on cryptocurrencys, especially if Leo23 has blocked you from his thread. Please backup all opinions with evidence where possible. Unfounded opinions, posts contrary to generally-accepted social norms of respect, and posts in breach of myfxbook's Terms of Use are deemed inappropriate and may be reported.

Full disclosure: I have invested $0 in cryptocurrencies, and have 0 intention to do so any time soon. The phenomenal gains are the only reason it has caught my curiosity. I will continue to trade 'normal' forex only TYVM.


How's that going for you these days?
All or nothing

There are both pros and cons for trading cryptos. But like @LemonFeather said, there are chances for cryptos to gain more value as well. Whether or not to trade cryptos is up to every individual choice, but I personally think they have good growth prospects in the technology driven future.

Completely agree with this. You need to know what you're doing and not go in half heartedly. You need to make sure you can afford what you risk and also you can stomach the volatility. 10% swings are very comment and that not might sound like a lot with a couple of hundred at stake but if you have a couple of thousand those swings hit a lot differently

If you do that then you will end up losing all your money. As good investor needs to look at positives AND negatives

@Karlos Fandango spot on , and I believe there is plenty of scope in crypto and many people can make tons of money if they trade correctly in that market.

I believe traders already are risk takers. When you are trading, you are not doing anything with 100% certainty. Confident traders are those who don't expose themselves to the risk they can’t afford to take.

There is risk in everything we do. The important thing is to understand and manage the risk. Nothing can be gained without risk
