Get Ready for a Bumpy Ride.
The next few weeks or months are going to be quite exciting for all of us crypto fans. This slow down in Bitcoin has made all of us who hold shitcoins much wealthier over the last week. Just remember that the pendulum always swings back the other way.
How to Play the Bitcoin Volatility.
1. You can just Hodl Bitcoin.- You will receive all of the hardfork coins that are coming.
2. Hodl Alternative Coins and Tokens.- Much more speculative, but the possibility of huge gains can't be understated.
3. Trade Bitcoin with Leverage.- You can do very well but it is the most dangerous way to trade.
4. Trade Alternative Coins.- If you have the patience to read charts, follow the news and social media you have the opportunity to hit home runs regularly.
5. Buy into High Quality ICO's and Tokensales.- This is highly speculative but the returns can be huge if you do your research.
What I am Doing with My Crypto.
I am now only doing 1,2,5. My days of trading with leverage are over. Our business has grown so much that I no longer have the time or patience to trade full time. I love buying into ICO's. The difficult part is finding the high quality ICO's. Thank goodness my team helps me figure that out.
Hodling is something I am not used to doing but it sure feels good. The change of heart happened while I was at Steemfest in Lisbon. @LukeStokes and @TobyDaniel2 the guys convinced me that being a Hodler can really pay off. I have literally not traded with leverage since I returned from Europe. I do trade alternative coins based on news still but that type of trading does not take over my life.
Thank you Guys!
Everything has a down point the the real point is to hODL which I know leads to a better future . Everything going on with bitcoins fall is temporary

Thank you for your post! I just want to ask you where do you hold your btc? So that I will receive all of the hardfork coins? Today was a nice surprise when I received free bitcoin cash in coinbase.. currently my btc are in bittrex and I am not sure if it's the right place to hold ! appreciate any reply XXX

Glad your business is growing it is maybe a good sign that you have no time for trading. But you are still active in the crypto world and taking full advantage of the pleasures of the speculative nature of the field, risky yet rewarding in so many levels. I hope you will have an even better 2018 as we walk slowly towards the end of an exciting year.

Good advise, it is really wise to grow with the flow.
Since coinbase adds BCH, we will see the progress of both coins in the market, but I know BTC market is huge compare to BCH.

That is a fine strategy @hilarski :-)
I am basically doing 1,2 and 6. Six? 6 being trading BTC to fiat gateways and back without leverage.
Number 5 is too tricky for me, but that is just personal preference. We're in the post-ICO hype phase and although there are quality ICO's still starting, profit are now mostly made during the pre-sales and pre-ico's. Next to that, I don't like to lock up my investments for 3-6 months in this crazy crypto world ;-)
Anyways, good luck with the hodling!

Hodling (and in some cases, just forgetting about) the tokens is paying off very well for me. I am also keeping BTC and BCH on a token for token basis. Right now, the new counterbalance to BTC is not ETH, its BCH.

Thanks for the shoutout, Randy.
One thing I've really been enjoying lately is being a long-time BitShares and STEEM holder. I think some people are finally starting to realize the value and utility of these platforms. The increase in value of my BTS has allowed me to branch out and invest in other projects I find interesting. I'm a little hesitant about ICOs though. I need to get my confidence back up there, I think. The "NO US citizens" stuff frustrates me and though I've had some great wins, I've also had some duds where I wish I just held instead of speculating on an ICO.
I love posts like this where you share your story and what you're learning.

A lot of money is being reshuffled now. Me too, I see BTC keep going up north but maybe a little slower than most people recently expected.
Some smaller coins might be a nice alternative for a while before switching back to the coins which will finally survive

Hard to argue with your logic. You've been pretty in tune with the crypto market overall, at least from my vantage point. I would not have thought of intentionally holding BTC for the fork coins, so that is very good advice.

Have you read of any plans for the BTC devs to increase the block size or decrease the transaction fees in the next fork?
Sure, BTC was the first, but if it doesn't keep up with the technology, then cryptovestors might start shifting to ALTs that can handle the bandwidth.
Having said that, I agree HODL is the right approach for now.

I do not think the numbers should be mutually exclusive. The timespan / period is key in my opinion. Therefore I would go for something like:
Correction - More then 20% decrease within a period of maximum 2 days
Bear market - Decreasing more than 40% over a period of at least one month.
Crash - A decrease of more than 50% within 12 hours.
What do you think?

Yep hodling is key but so is keeping an eye on the market at all times. For example, being a hodler of MySpace shares until 2017 would not have paid off. If there is a real switch away from Bitcoin to another coin with more scalibility and utility people are going to have a tough decision to make

So we're in the bear trap right now you think? Wish I had the guts to sell at the high and buy the dip, but alas I will end up just hodling. Due to small dollar amounts in my account (until recently since I dipped into crypto), my trading has always been medium to long term so as not to lose much money to churn, so I'm used to it. But trading these dips looks oh so tempting. Glad you're at a spot where you can just take it easy.

You're pretty brave to go after those ICOs @hilarski... but you've been in this game for a long time. From my unskilled perspective, it feels like half of what's coming to market has no reason for being aside from some people deciding they can "make a lot of money" if they create a White Paper and use the word blockchain enough times.
I like things like Steem and Bitshares because it feels like there's a "something" behind all the semantics. But maybe I'm just stuck in an old paradigm that an idea needs to have an "underlying reason" in order to become something. In cryptopia, it often seems like simply "the idea" is enough, and nobody cares about a functional application...
