Cryptocurrency excites me.

I don't know why, but the idea of having digital currency without the nuisance of paper or coin money is very practical for me, especially in this point of time in our digital age. How convenient it is to buy & sell goods and procure services anytime, anywhere on the fly. No more bank transactions, or going to an atm to withdraw. In this era, almost everything is in the palm of your hands.

Excited with some of my Steemit savings chilling there at Bittrex , i took a jab at crypto trading. Without any foreknowledge about the ways of the trade, my eyes was fixated with the green numbers in percentage. Woah, this (alt-coin undisclosed, oh the pain.. xD) is a big gainer! My untrained eyes focused on the lovely dancing candlesticks, reds & greens bobbing up and down, gave me time to analyze what was happening, or so i thought of. I concluded that it will dip low after a certain period of time & and will soar high again,
THIS IS TOO EASY!!!

AND I GOT REKT.

After my first bid, the green shot up the charts, & my heart was giddy! My eyes was filled with Bitcoin signs err dollar signs. To insult to my upcoming injury, i posted another bid when it leveled with my former bid. Then it rose up again, WOW! But after a minute or so, it stooped down a bit. "Im okay with that, gotta hold on a bit, i guess." What transpired next was a flowing red waterfall, streaming faster and faster. Seems that i have lost at least 10% of my investment, still i just assured myself that it will bounce back. But i had a looming, eerie feeling inside me. That something was wrong.

I knew it, deep in my gut, i know that there is something amiss. This is unnatural of me.
Guess i was right, the coin dropped like a hot pancake on your plate. I dozed off with my regular 4 hours of sleep, only to wake up and see that i almost lost half of my investment. /GG WP or in gaming terms Good Game Well Played but i assure you i played it like crap. X'3

It's over and done, i just scrapped whatever that was left of it and transferred it ASAP to my wallet. What a horrendous experience of mismanagement & over zealousness. A lot of factors dawned on me, and the main point is that:
I am inexperienced in any form of trading, whether FIAT or CRYPTO currency.

My 3 step by step points to consider are:


1. Do your research.

Before you go and invest in anything, make sure you have done your assignment. Check what is the purpose of a certain coin and also what is it's standing on the market . Check the internet about it, get into forums or discussions so you have an idea about the coin.
Monitor the flow first before you jump in the water.

2. Learn from Your Mistakes.

Whether you had a good or a bad experience in your trades, even after all the research, you should definitely learn from your mistakes. Take mental notes on what you had done and keep it in mind. Evade the pitfalls and make sound judgments.
Don't catch a falling knife.

3. Have Fun!

Crypto trading for me, as newbie in the field, was a terrifying experience. I compared myself as a soldier with a rifle but had no bullets. I will try it again soon, when i'm equipped with the proper tools and excess coins. ;) The thrill & anticipation on whether you will make or break it in the digital trading world is high up there. So if you'll ever venture in the crypto trading scene, better know your coin, prepare for the worst, & expect for the best!


GET HIGH ON STEEMIT!
(๑>◡<๑)

Ako ay nagagayak sa Cryptocurrency.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit, ngunit ang ideya ng pagkakaroon ng digital na pera nang walang istorbo ng papel o baryang ay praktikal para sa akin, lalo na sa puntong ito ng oras sa ating digital na panahon. Maginhawa ito upang bumili at magbenta ng mga kalakal at gumawa ng mga serbisyo anumang oras, saan man ng mabilisan. Wala nang mga transaksyon sa bangko, o pagpunta sa isang atm upang kumuha ng pera. Sa panahong ito, halos lahat ay nasa palad ng ating mga kamay.

Nasasabik, bitbit ang ilang deposit sa Steemit na naka stand by sa Bittrex, sumubok ako sa crypto trading. Nang walang anumang paunang kaalaman tungkol sa mga paraan ng kalakalan, ang aking mga mata ay nakatutok sa berdeng mga numero sa porsyento. Woah, ito (alt-coin undisclosed, oh the pain...) ay isang malaking gainer! Ang mga mata kong hindi sanay ay nakatutok sa magagandang candlesticks, pula at berde na pagtaas at pababa, binigyan ako ng oras upang pag-aralan kung ano ang nangyayari, ayun ang naisip ko. Napagaralan ko na ito ay babagsak at tataas p din ng bigla biglaan.
ITO AY SOBRANG DALI!!!

Rekt - Kapag ang isang tao ay makakakuha ng ganap na nawasak.
(Http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rekt)

Matapos ang aking unang bid, ang berde ay umanganat sa mga chart, at ang aking puso ay nagagalak! Ang aking mga mata ay napuno ng mga palatandaan ng Bitcoin este sa mga palatandaan ng dolyar. Upang mang-insulto sa aking paparating na pinsala, nag-post ako ng isa pang bid pagkatapos ng aking dating bid. Pagkatapos ito ay tumindig muli, WOW! Ngunit pagkaraan ng isang minuto o higit pa, bumaba ito nang kaunti. "Okay naman ako, dapat kapit lamang, sa tingin ko." Ang nangyari kasunod ay isang dumadaloy na pulang waterfall, dumadaloy ng pabilis ng pabilis. Tila nawalan ako ng hindi bababa sa 10% ng aking puhunan, di rin ako sigurado sa sarili ko kung ako may chance bounce pabalik. Ngunit may nakangiting, nakapangingilabot na damdamin sa loob ko. Ang isang bagay ay mali. Dapat kong muling basahin ang aking sariling post: https://steemit.com/tilphilippines/@yukimaru/let-us-stop-pretending-itigil-ang-pagpapanggap

Alam ko ito, malalim sa sking sikmura, alam ko na may isang bagay na mali. Ito ay hindi natural sa akin.
Tama ang hula ko, ang barya ay bumaba tulad ng isang mainit na pancake sa iyong plato. Nagawa ko na ang aking regular na 4 na oras ng pagtulog, para lang magising at makita ko na halos nawala ang kalahati ng aking pamumuhunan. / GG WP o sa mga tuntunin ng paglalaro Mahusay na Laro Magaling na laro ngunit tinitiyak ko sa iyo na nilalaro ko ito ng sablay. X'3

Ito ay tapos, ini-scrap ko lang ang anumang naiwan nito at inilipat ito sa lalong madaling panahon sa aking pitaka. Anong kasuklam-suklam na karanasan ng maling pamamahala at labis na sigasig. Maraming mga kadahilanan ang dumating sa akin, at ang pangunahing punto ay ang:
Ako ay walang karanasan sa anumang paraan ng kalakalan, kung FIAT o CRYPTO currency.

Ang aking 3 hakbang-hakbang na mga punto upang isaalang-alang ay:


1.Gawin ang iyong pananaliksik.

Bago ka pumunta at mamuhunan sa anumang bagay, siguraduhing nagawa mo na ang iyong assignment. Suriin kung ano ang layunin ng isang tiyak na barya at kung ano ang katayuan nito sa merkado. Suriin ang internet tungkol dito, sumali ng mga forum o talakayan upang magkaroon ka ng ideya tungkol sa barya.
Subaybayan ang daloy muna bago ka tumalon sa tubig.

2. Matuto mula sa Iyong mga Pagkakamali.

Kung mayroon kang isang magandang o isang masamang karanasan sa iyong mga trades, kahit na matapos ang lahat ng mga pananaliksik, dapat mong talagang matuto mula sa iyong mga pagkakamali. Kumuha ng mga tala sa isip sa kung ano ang iyong ginawa at panatilihin ito sa isip. Iwasan ang mga pitfalls at gumawa ng tamang desisyon.
Huwag saluhin ang isang bumagsak na kutsilyo.

3. Magkaroon ng Kasayahan!

Ang pangangalakal ng Crypto para sa akin, bilang baguhan sa field, ay isang nakakagulat na karanasan. Ikinumpara ko ang sarili ko bilang sundalo na may rifle ngunit walang bala. Susubukan ko ulit ito sa lalong madaling panahon, kapag ako ay may tamang tool at sobrang mga barya. ;) Ang pangingilig at pag-asam sa kung gagawin mo o i-break ito sa digital trading mundo ay mataas up doon. Kaya kung sakaling mangahas ka sa eksena ng crypto trading, mas mahusay na malaman ang iyong barya, maghahanda para sa pagkasawi, & asahan pinkamaganda!

Let's learn fron experience... I'm a total noob as well, but guess I was a bit lucky the flow went up after a few hours and I got my btc back with a slight increase.. hahaha...

Thanks for sharing... :)

You are welcome... :)
Yes, the best teacher is through our experiences. Lucky you then! Skill & luck goes hand in hand. ^u^

Lucky indeed, but I wouldn't risk that way anymore.. haha.. As you've said on your post,

So if you'll ever venture in the crypto trading scene, better know your coin, prepare for the worst, & expect for the best!

(^_^) v

And i learned that the hard way. Hahaha. Thanks for the input! :)

No worries. :) Kaya natin to! hihi ^^

I'm into cryto. my advice is to buy coins that is less than a dollar, before you buy investigate the crypto, company,projects, and the team. If it is worth your investment then buy and hold it for a while when it reach to 1-5 usd per coins then sell it. you will have big profits in the future. don't trade everyday it is so risky...Unless if you are risk taker.

thank for the tips bes! :)
I will take note of those. Impatient kc siguro ako at excited sa unang trade :3

@yukimaru you can buy in Bittrex and Poloniex. Please do not stored your coins in exchanger. After you buy coins.
you can stored your coins in here: https://www.coinpayments.net/index.php?ref=f64b61a5e581d2f4cf04b7e6fe933553
I suggest you buy, digibyte, dogecoin,verge,ripple,nxt,golem you have to diversify your capital and hold it for months or 1-2 years buy thousands of coins or hundred thousands of coins. when they reach to $1 you are already a successful person. Then sell it back to exchanger to have Bitcoins. That's a huge profit. Then transfer your bitcoins in coins.ph and then exchange it into fiat currency in peso send it directly to the bank and other outlets. I hope it helps.

It's great to see that you are practicing your trades. Learning more and more will put you in a situation wherein your gut feel will always take you to the right direction. God bless you. I just HODL in my coins as a fundamentalist. :) Great sunday ahead kabayan.

Amen bro! Praise the Lord! :)
Yes kabayan, i'm still sorting out stuff, di gumagana ung pagka psychologist sa trading.
So much more room for improvement. ^u^

This Is Sparta Crypto! 😅

Lol, hang in there. Its all about patiences and/or good timing.

I was kicked down the pit and fell halfway! :3

I've been trading for 5 years......and I still sometimes buy into 'FOMO' big green candles!
Occasionally, it works but often not....you need to quickly bail out as soon as your position turns into a loss, I find.

Now, I really only try to buy at 'the prefect moment', or not at all!......otherwise the odds of a reversal below your buy in price are very high.

Perfect moments for me are:

  • end of a triangle pattern
  • very tight b-bands
  • ema cross-over
  • ema lines coming close but then moving apart
  • MACD turing green
    😀

Thank you for the insightful words Mr. Snow... :)
I understood at least the first 2 paragraphs, but the perfect moment list made my brain go BOOM! ^u^

May risk talaga. HODL na lang!

Pump and dump tpos may halo pang kaba. Hahaha. Di bale, bawi next time. Dapat mapagaralan ang the ways of the trade ;)
