So close to having One Bitcoin!steemCreated with Sketch.

in trading •  7 years ago  (edited)

I have used around 20% of my Steem to trade in Bittrex for the last few months and am feeling very proud of myself now that I am on the cusp of having one BTC.

I know it may not sound like much to some, but for me this is a great achievement!

Two months ago I had no more than $100 worth of crypto to trade with.

...Now for some hardcore trading to turn it into two BTC!

Onward and Upward :)

20% steem to reach 1 bitcoin is great. And this is the start you need in crypto trading. 1 btc can get you many btc in coming months.

That is true. I just need to not spend it now!!!

it's actually quite a lot* for most European more than a month salary.

Not sure I understand?

Well done. Here, have some more crypto...I upvoted you

Well thanks very much. Here.... have some more crypto in return :)

Way to go! Keep it up and give it time, the more you own, the faster it can grow! Let us know when you get to two BTC!

I will do my best not to spend it! :)

And keep you informed on my progress!

Thanks very much for the comment :)

First stop is 1 then 2. The next thing we know you're going to be telling us that you're going for 10. Good for you though all that hard work is paying off and in the long run I bet it'll be worth a whole more then it is right now! Let us know when you finish off that first one!

I will keep you informed but I must say it's not looking too good. The missus tells me we are out of cash so must go to the Bitcoin exchange now :( Never mind. More steem coming soon.... and lots of cunning trade moves!

Congrats my friend, almost in the 21 Million Club! I originally bought 1 BTC back in January when it was priced around $1000, through trading and portfolio management I've managed to grow it to around 3 BTC valued at the $2500+ that it is today.

I'm always posting about analysis about my investment decisions and advice on portfolio management. If you ever wanna chat crypto hit me up, I'd love to talk :) @jhcooper7

I would love to talk. I am a total newbie but completely addicted to crypto world now!

If you have experience or advice on trading I would love to hear it :)

Where are you from?

We've all been there! The addiction doesn't go away either!

I have articles abouy crypto investing coming out daily, you can always follow me and read my advice and suggestions there! Just tag any questions in the comments, I'll always reply.

Based in the UK currently, yourself?

Born in London and lived there my whole life as a film maker till 3 years ago when I had enough of the rat race, sold everything, put a bag on my back and set off into the world. And now I have a missus and two kids! Currently living in Bali. Send me a link to your stuff :)

That is the dream! My girlfriend and I are moving out to South America for a few months in September, unfortunately the plan is to move back to England at some point :(

If you're just starting out this may be worth a read:
https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@jhcooper7/the-cryptfolio-matrix-a-matrix-for-analysing-crypto-investment-decisions

I reference it in a lot of my posts. It talks about the matrix I use to ensure that I have my portfolio isn't too skewed towards a certain kind of investment.

Then, for an example of which coin I've invested in and why give this one a read:

Do you still do some film making out in Bali or have you almost given that up now?

Many thanks for these links. I will check them out.

Yes, I still make films every day. It is my primary love in life!

I am sure you will LOVE south America :)

I used to dabble with film making and photography, it's great fun :) I miss using a camera regularly tbh. I'm hoping to take my old Canon with me when I go and get back into the swing of things :)

I hope you are able to get back to the dabbling :)

There is nothing better as far as I am concerned!

Steem on :)

congrats my friend ,its really appreciating . well done ,keep it up.
My best wishes are with you

Thanks very much. Appreciate the comment :)

keep it up!

I will my friend! Don't worry about that!

Congrats, keep it up..;)

Thanks very much. I most certainly will :)

Well you are a lucky champ.
@samstonehill

I believe we make our own luck. I worked very hard to understand how best to capitalise on this new world of cryptocurrency :)

Yes I know.
I am doing same for earning
infact trading is my main earning source and I totally rely on that.

It may not sound like much? Man 1 btc is a lot! And will be even more in the future. HODL to it!

Sadly I must spend it! Life to live. But with 500 steem a week coming at me from Steemit, life could be worse :)

GOALS!

You know it! GOALS!!!!!

Go go go! Steem Powerrrrrrrrrr :)

Oh please I just converted to 0.01 BTC lol good job and it's ALOT who would tell you it's not much!!

haha. Give it a few months of good consistent steemit posts and you will be playing with lots more BTC :)

happy for you!! sincerely.

thanks very much. Your gif is certainly a very happy one!

Way to go...congratulations on your bitcoin...keep growing:)

Many thanks. I will do my best not to spend it! So many new things I would love right now...

:)

That is so amazing, congratz and nice work! I hope to be able to follow in your footsteps myself through time and effort. Now, bigger and better goals!

You will get there my friend. Steemit is the answer. I made no financial investment of any kind, yet here i am :)

But I did work bloody hard at creating awesome daily content :)

Nice! I need to sell some things on craigslist and buy as much steem as I can. I know that we are going to blink and its going to be worth $5.00

You blinked already. It's back up to $2. Well, it was an hour ago. But for sure, in a few months we should be looking at $5 :)

Congrats on this awesome achievement ! Wish for the best :)

Thanks very much for your kind comment :)

It's good to see it's working out for you! Having one Bitcoin is starting to become harder these days with the price going up. Thanks for sharing and motivating the rest of us :)

Many thanks for the positive comment. I am so pleased it serves as motivation for others! I just share what I love doing :) And my intention is always the same.... Enjoy the moment!

Hearty congratulations. Hard work, talent and tenacity has got you there!

You said it sister :) That about sums it up! And one other thing... I have always been a photographer so I have a lot of visual goodies to share :)

That's awesome! Congratulations dude. Waiting to earn my first bitcoin as well! :D

You will get there my friend. See it in your mind's eye. Know that it is yours already and so it will be :)

The law of attraction! :P

Steem value dropped a bit, so I'm still just 'almost there.....'

COME ON STEEM!!!!

Many thanks :)

Try using some pivot levels to trade.

This is way over my head bro. I am a beginner! Upped and commented

Appreciate it.

Wow

Thanks for your very strange looking wow!

Great idea!

Many thanks :)

Awesome man congrats!

Thanks very much :)

You gonna sell that before August 1st or what do you think you'll do?

Why? What happens on August 1st?

I've been hearing murmurs (and sorry if this isn't completely correct) about a possible soft fork due to two different schools of thought from those running nodes as to what should be done to address transaction overload problems on the BTC network. Worst case could mean BTC splits into two chains, and thereby two different coins (like Ethereum and Ethereum Classic). It seems to me the likely outcome is a drop in price, but maybe it actually soars if the two schools come together and prevent a split. Who knows, but something to be aware of for BTC investors.

Read more here or Google it :)

Many thanks for the info. Was not aware of this. It will be very interesting to see what happens.

I actually don't hold BTC very often. The value of my Bittrex account is made up from other alt coin investments. But I am wondering now how these will be affected if BTC were to suddenly crash?

Sure, no problem. So far, things seem to be okay, but it will be interesting to see what happens. I'm quite sure the value of altcoins would crash with BTC in the event of catastrophe at least in terms of USD value since their value is tied to BTC's. But if BTC does split, maybe that will cause some changes to that, or maybe ETH will become the leading coin used as a base. Who knows!

Hey @samstonehill ..that is AWESOME...it must be such a relief being so closed to 1 BTC using just your STEEM. I hope that you also use some of your STEEM to buy a bottle of champagne to celebrate the moment that you hit 1 full BTC!

Keep up the great work...it is people like you that inspire noob steemians like me to keep on pushing and contributing to the community.

Again, thank you and congrats!!

If she wan't breastfeeding still the champers would be a great idea. But drinking it on my own wouldn't go down well at all :)

Thanks for your positive comment my friend. Ready to offer support to you any time you need it :)
