YUVAL GOV   LAST UPDATED ON  JAN 11, 2018 Safety rules were written with blood. That statement sounds familiar to every soldier around. Although we are not dealing with a risk to human lives, losing your expensive Bitcoins by making mistakes trading is definitely not a fun situation. So, how we can avoid those mistakes in our trading? How to be mostly on the green side? First, it is important to note that to trade right requires attention and your one hundred percent focus. Secondly, trading is not for everyone. The following tips are easy to internalize because these tips were “written in blood” (my own blood). However, it’s still difficult to apply them in real-time. After all, we are not rational human beings. Have a reason before entering each trade: Start a trade only when you know why you’re starting and have a clear strategy for afterwards. Not all traders make gains from trading, since this is a zero-sum game (for everyone who benefits someone else loses o...

Countless experts and pundits,  including Chase CEO Jamie Dimon , have proclaimed that Bitcoin is in a massive bubble right now, and it certainly could be. Yet these “experts” fail to consider one possibility that  some in the Bitcoin community  are beginning to suspect:  mass adoption may be imminent.

Bubbles throughout history History is replete with examples of financial bubbles that popped disastrously. Britain’s  South Sea bubble  came about in...

11 October 2017 Summary A subsection of the Bitcoin economy including prominent businesses such as Coinbase, Xapo, and BitPay have signed an agreement to adopt and implement a contentious hard fork of Bitcoin  sometime  in November. A hard fork is a backwards incompatible change to the Bitcoin network. This hard fork is not supported by the majority of the Bitcoin users and developers and is therefore a contentious hard fork.

By storing BTC on these services, you could find that after the hard fork, your BTC has been renamed to something else or replaced e...
