This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf
Again we are testing $600 on Stamp.   I am hoping this upcoming week can be strong for us and we can stay upwards of $600

There is  a new note on OKcoin announcing new bitcoin services. I cannot make much sense of it, but someone may find it relevant perhaps:

We're in a secular bull market, looked at in a scale of months, in my opinion.
Drops will be temporary.
The problem I see with daytrading in such an environment is that you need to keep a cushion of fiat so that you can go in and out of the market.
Let's say you're an active trader and your holdings, averaged over time, net half crypto half fiat, because you're always buying and selling.
And you're competent enough that your trades come out in the black, on average.
That's not enough.  You have to do more than just come out in the black on your trades; you have to beat the returns you would get by hodling.
I keep most of my stake in cold storage, and play day trader with less than ten percent of it.

Using you own analysis: why not 100%?

I would like to learn how to trade, and this is my way of doing it.  I would like to learn how to trade because the recent bear market taught me the disadvantages of holding.  

How is it a bear market?


It is now about $600.

Last month was $400

6 months ago was $200

Last year June was $60

18 months ago was $10

2 years ago was $6

Ahem.
My post referred to "the recent bear market."
Like, about five months of down, down, from over $1100 to less than $400.
That is a bear market.

I also said I think we're now in a secular bull market.  On the scale of months.
Is it so unclear, my writing, that the ideas don't come across?

I did a quick survey of what people are writing about in this forum:

it would seem that the forum posts are now evenly split betwen Bitcoin and altcoins (~45% each).  Apart from mining, the Bitcoin-related posts are evenly split between Chinese-language posts and non-Chinese (mostly English).

I am not the OP but I would say 10% is approximately Kelly-optimal given my empirical edge (about 5%).  It gets a little more complicated if you allow for leverage.

This is amazing, Stamp never veering from $599.99 for days.  Nope, no manipulation involved at all.  Nope, pure free market, makes perfect sense it should stay that price.

It is weekend, just wait for tommorow, you will see real manipulation, every market has manipulation but all depends how much manipulation going on.

Buy and sell bitcoins,
It's easy to regret staying put a bear market once you've been mired in it for a long time. Trying to trade it is going to be a bit more hair raising.

More difficult to me is trading this type of sideways. The run-up and correction through February were very volatile, and trends were very easy to follow. With all this sideways and choppiness, it's pretty frustrating trying to stay on top of the trend.
