Every day we should be challenging ourselves in one way or another. It can be in keeping healthy or learning a new subject or even becoming a better human overall.
But whats important is we always try to move forward and never stay stagnant. Don't get into such a repetitive daily routine that the days become meshed together. It is easy to get into an online timewarp but avoid this at all costs, time is short and precious.
I challenge myself daily with all the above and I try to stay balanced. But one challenge I particularly like on a daily basis is to see my portfolio grow. But I also like to see it decline at times.
Why do I like to see it decline?. Because it gives me more motivation to get better as a researcher and as a student of trading. Trading altcoins definitely need a slightly different approach than the regular stock market, but many basic trading skills are universal across all markets.
Every week in the altcoin market there is bloodbaths and there are higher highs, but one thing remains the same at the moment, and that's the market is so volatile that it is a goldmine for anyone that takes the time to learn how to attack it from all angles.
Challenge Details
In this personal challenge, i will be trying to turn 6 Bitcoin into 7 in 7 days regardless of market conditions.
Start Time: 4:37 pm 18th June 2017
Finish Time: 4:37 pm 25th June 2017
Current account worth: 6 Bitcoin
Current Worth in actual Trade-able Bitcoin: 1.8
Altcoins currently Trading in order of worth:
[ETC]-Ethereum Classic
[BAY]-BitBay
[XZC]-Zcoin
[PIVX]-Pivx
[1ST]-Firstblood (small pump happened so just sold it at 6:30pm)

Now keep in mind I am ignoring my normal long hold strategy with percentages of coins I keep. I will also be ignoring my 2x/4x strategies. This is purely to try and reach 7 Bitcoins in 7 days.
The more coins you invested in the slower the rise can be because the value is spread out and it takes a big pump to have any real impact. But the same applies to the drop in the value of the portfolio.
My strategy for this 7 days is to make as much short-term profit as possible, and as fast as I can to reach my goal.
I will post my daily trades - buys/sells, and progress for each day. I will also be recording my progress and will post a summary video at the end.
I am actually excited because I love a challenge it's what really gets me pushing to new levels to see what is possible.
UPDATE:
While i was making this post @6:30pm, 1ST decided to start pumping a bit so I made some quick sales.
Great work and i love your post. Do things bit by bit to manover your accounts. Never rush anything just take it slow. I haven't result startwd my bitcoin journey yet but 1 day i will

Thanks:)....Yeah exactly slow but gradual is better. I have another account which is shared and I trade for my partner. I take a more long hold approach after trading the profit for initial investment out of it first. This challenge is more about trying to escalate in a more aggressive way. But we will see what happens :)

Yes you get paid in Steem Dollars (SBD) and in steem for your posts. SBD can be sent to an exchange and converted to Bitcoin. I have been using Steemit since July last year and it has helped me financially many times.

Wow, what a great challenge! I'll be interested to see your progress as you continue. A lot of times people tend to get complacent and not push themselves. The only way you can get better is constantly try new things because no one ever got anywhere by standing still. I'll be cheering you on and trying myself :)

Nice, keep us posted and good luck! I bought my first 2 ETH around 230-240 and that's turned out well so far. Still waiting on XRP to rise from where I bought in around .32 or so.

This is cool. It is a great idea and a cool challenge. I will follow you to keep up with your progress. And maybe even join in on your challenges. I began trading late last year and due to the amazing bull market this year has been, I have done quite well. It is a good practice to set goals for oneself and calmly and slowly try to make it happen. I consider myself more lucky than smart but trading is fun and exhilarating none the less.

I haven't been trading as long as that, but 'calm' is the word here that is important. When you first start it is very hard to sit tight and not let emotions drive your trading. But if you can get over this hurdle that's when the real light starts to shine. Some of it can be luck for sure if the coin you invested in gets hit by a pump team, but eventually they all do so good to diversify incase :)
