You cant blame people not to think like that yet we do able to experience those big gains back in previous years.
Back on topic talking about options where im not really that fan of it since from forex options. Huge price swings or high
volatility will surely kill you easily unless if said time limit wont really be that big or can really be adjusted.


Well, There is Options trading for long duration. You could set the time period for up to 6 months. I think that's fair and long enough. Make Volatility your friend by straddling your positions. So, that even in the worst case scenario. You don't lose much and in the best case, you are into good profits. The best part about Options is that, You don’t need 1 BTC to buy a 1 BTC call. You just need to pay the premium. So, you are already limiting your losses in case things turn south.

I think the problem is not in the emotions anymore, the problem will be in the profit plan in the future.  Some people often have a trade habit without a plan, so that when the cows gradually disappear and the price goes down, they decide to sell.  This is one of the most misguided steps and from now on you need to set a clear profit-taking plan.  For example, you have 10 bitcoins.  so okey, you would set a goal that if bitcoin increased to $ 11k, you would sell 2 bitcoins;  If the price of bitcoin rises to $ 12k, you will sell 2 more bitcoins, etc.This is the best way for you to manage risks and profits, because when the price drops quickly, you still have profit.

Absolutely agree. Nothing will come of it if you wait for superprofits and hope that you exit the market at the best price. This never happens. As a rule, people lose their money due to greed. You need to have a clear plan and follow it, and not wait for superprofits.


If people become greed to expect a bigger profit, yes, they will lose the profit because they cannot use the time to take the profit. As long as we can sell at a price we want, and the price itself reaches the target price that we want, we can sell it for some amount while we will have another time to buy back the coin. I am sure that if we can use the right time that we can see, we will not lose the profit.

We need to have a target price to buy and sell by analyzing the market because if we don't have the target price, we will hard to get the profit because we will want to chase bigger profit.

But we can't deny also that more people become rich because of greed and equality.
If you are buying hundreds of Bitcoins today it doesn't mean that you are greedy enough in preparation for the upcoming halving. Yes, it might look like that but it is their way/strategy to generate more profits once the market is in the bullish. We can't hold them back and told them that is was a fool because just like them, we are also wanting to make money as well.
That's why crypto investors are often said to be panic-sellers because we as investors have too big of expectations on the price of bitcoins. I mean, there is often a case where you ask crypto investors and they will say we only managed a 10% profit, while it's so easy to say for them in real world you would struggle to make a 5% return on investment.

This is where I feel that despite being the biggest investing opportunity the cryptos .. we as investors are still very immature in dealing with the small hiccups and sharp downfalls. I am not expecting halving to bring massive price swings but I at least expect the market price to go up only.

It depends how you utilize options trading. It is completely up to the trader. You could play it safe and sell calls at a distant price to earn instant premium. You could buy puts and a target price and pay negligible trading fees to use Options as an Insurance (which is a much better implementation than shorting). With the market being positive, you could buy long term calls and basically do what you intended to do anyway, HODL. If it does go up, you are boosting your profits. Of course it does come with risks, that is with any form of trading.
Always all the traders want to trade safe but we need to consider the possible outcome of our trading which means not touching leveraged trading must be the best option regardless of how much capital and how much risk you are able to take. Just due to the leverage trading and options way trading, I am also thinking trading is turning as gambling.

Spot trading must be the best one because we are able to hold without paying any fee for our holding. Moreover your capital will be living within your wallet and you never need to worry about exchange hacks and scams.

Are you prepared for the upcoming Bitcoin (BTC) halvening?
I believe nothing needs to be done for the reason of upcoming halving for my bitcoin stash, I mean I will just keep them like how I am doing for years. The bitcoin market is working for me to make the value of my bitcoin holding into multiple folds rather than I'm just looking for multiplying it in numbers and losing some percentage of them. Yes, when we are having a completely risk-free way, why should go for any other methods?

Options, being versatile tools, enable you to boost your trades in any market condition, whether you think the market is going up, down or sideways.
Options or leveraged trading is not a recommended way of boosting methods for your bitcoins due to its high risk involved. Please do not misguide new traders. Options trading nothing different from gambling. If you recommend gambling to boost bitcoins for the occasion of halving, I feel something is not good here.

The strategy depends very much on type of investor, long term or short term.and also on risk apetite.
But no matter which type of investor you are don't expect too much of halving, you might get disappointed. In a way halving will influence the price but I don't expect some huge price rise or long term effect.
Your first like is what the article is about. Its upto you, which path you take. It also takes your 2nd sentence into consideration. If you dont think halving will have a huge impact, you can still make money out of it, to an extent.

1. Turn your halvening bets into profit
2. Protect your crypto portfolio from potential halvening REKT
3. Think the halvening will be a non-event? Make your crypto assets work for you anyway.

So, to be short: "We don't care what you do as long as you use our platform and we get the fees".
I understand that you try to get people trade there, but you have to find some guys who can make proper speculation posts (like this example), most probably on shorter terms, but at least helping newbies try to understand what happens around them. You should have better luck on getting at least readers to that.
Nope, that isnt the idea. The idea is, nobody knows which way bitcoin is going to go post halving. It could be positive (it has to be) but there is a possibility of it going south(should never rule out the possibility, if you are an experienced trader). The idea of the post is to how do we get in control when Halving could be a turning point either way. It ends with the 3rd point, if you think it wont be turning point, you could try this to work for you utilizing Options trading.
Those decisions don't even need the halving to be considered. Read it, but it contained close to zero information that could possibly help any newbie or experienced trader in their trades. Not only that, you didn't even discuss on the basics of what Options are and what are the possible pros and cons in case of the development in what your 3 cases entails. Halving is discussed, sure, but it's quite irrelevant, since the core idea is still playing around with options.

I understand what you mean. We do have other posts about Options trading. I think in this post, the author is just suggesting possible plays you can make, depending on your position on halving. If you think BTC will be on a bull run? try 1st point and utilize Options trading to your advantage. If you think there's going to a potential bear market? try 2nd point. If you think Halving will be a non-event, try step 3 and utilize Options. This isn't a post with a mindset to tell its readers to do something, it was written with a mindset to help you in whatever choice you think is right, and make it more profitable.

Yes, I agree with you, the writer try to invite people into his mindset by ignore all possibility about halving it self. He try to create negative sentiment and fear about halving, I must say if you pessimist just switch your crypto asset into currency and wait until halving arrive, his post is not helping at all.
You need to assess deeper and not just to follow each words coming from speculation by other people. It's not going to be helpful since the information is not concretely supported by real facts but just another own observation and opinions by OP. If you want to believe into something best to research and investigate.

As of now, we can't determine which cryptocurrency will be the best one to switch for. However, this person made that certain statement behind this due to an emotional affection. That came up to that idea about a speculations, because halving was really unpredictable while the right price hasn't arrived yet. Don't switch your asset while there's no proper awareness on the asset that you're going to invest with.

Bitcoin halving would never be a problem to all those who already have their roots strong into trading.
Yes, some new traders who might have joined the markets recently might find it difficult to spot the halving and also they might need to face loss just in order to gain some experience. Most of us already have been experienced halving in the past and hence that makes us prepare ourselves for the next halving which might occur soon.

This halving process can also give us major profits if we have the skills to convert the bad impacts of halving into profitable ones for our individual sake. Halving may bring bearish signs into the market which might also make the bear markets to arrive so hence we should manage our portfolio in such a way that even if the bear markets arrive, they bring profits for us.

There are two kinds on investor  short and long then there is a trader. As for me I am short ter investor and for a person like me halving is the right time to accumulate till end of April and then sell.
Each trader follows different upcoming news well. Because news based trades often give good profit. I'm a long term investor. So I don't worry too much about this. I think this halving will have a long term huge impact on Bitcoin prices. Your thoughts are good. Earn good profit by accumulating low prices and selling at higher prices. However, those who are in the long term they do not think much about these issues.
Following any news is the basic start of making our own technical analysis which plays the most important role into our trading careers. There have been an major impact on the society only because of the news and we have to accept that the media has an major influence on the people and they can also manipulate the prices for coins.

There might even be some fake news trying to create FOMO but these news should least be trusted. Only news from official or trusted platforms can be relied upon. Also, as you said Long term holders might not need to worry about the halving but yet, halving might bring something exciting to the markets which might even affect the long term holders.

Price might quickly pump or dump and might remain constant after the halving takes place which might even give profit or loss to long term holders.
