Bitcoin (BTCUSD): Full history from GenesisOfficially Bitcoin trading began in July 2010 with MT.GOX, but this was only the first dedicated exchange. Before this however Bitcoin was exchanged for goods as well as money on a peer-to-peer basis. The two transactions I know of where Bitcoins were exchanged for other currencies or commodities (lol) are shown here. The first ever transaction was famously sent on 12 Jan 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto to Hal Finney but these 10 Bitcoins were sent free of charge and therefore NOT exchanged. The Malmi Transaction is recorded here www.blockchain.com

95% WINRATE STRATEGY? (MUST WATCH!) PART 3/3There’s a better way to do things. I don’t care what you’re using, maybe, just maybe, there’s a way to improve your strategy. I can confirm this idea is seen as wildly offensive. Ask someone why their strategy works and they’ll cringe like you just asked them if their spouse is cheating. “How dare you question their effectiveness! I’ll let you know we have a long history together and I love them very much.” I’m sure you do, but have you noticed some of the warning signs? They’re all right there in front of you. It may not feel good when I ask, but if the signs are there and 3/4ths of marriages fail, it wouldn’t sit well with me if I didn’t speak up just to keep you comfy cozy. Analogies aside, your “spouse” is your strategy. The warning sign is that you keep on losing trades, blaming your loses on “volatility” without wanting to admit what the real problem is. Perhaps you’re still green for now, just wait for a larger sample size of a trade history. Much like your imaginary marriage, the odds are wildly against you. Why do you think 95 plus percent of traders fail? You can massage data however you like, the problem is at some point you decided to stop improving because you got confident.

NIETZCHE AND TRADING PSYCHOLOGY, (MUST WATCH!)If you're a middle school basketball star, do you cry when you skin your knees after getting fouled when you chose to play street ball in downtown Detroit? No, because you should have known what you were getting into, and if you do cry, all the street ballers will tear you to shreds. If you don't want to play street ball and learn to play like everyone else does, go back to your middle school basketball court. If you can't understand why you keep getting hurt trading crypto and are unwilling to adopt the winning fighting style, go back to trading securities. Winners don't need to play by the rules of "golden standard" of TA. What if the "golden standard" is only so because they're tools that make you predictable for people who know better? If you have the masses all trading the same information, that makes for predictable moves. Predictable traders make for a predictable market. A predictable market makes for a profitable market. The only reason you've been given the "golden standard" is to provide liquidity for those with more buying power, resources, knowledge, experience and connections than you. 95% of retail traders lose money, so if you’re watching this, that probably includes you. What matters is that you take steps to learn rather than keep throwing money down the drain. Market manipulation in crypto exists, and with respect to trading, it’s not that it’s good or fair so much that it just is and you have to play the game as it is rather than what you may want it to be. There are ways to do that, and we’re confident we have one of them. It’s worth noting for the record that other markets have manipulation too. Just less egregious amounts of the kinds you’ll find on the list on the Wikipedia article for market manipulation. If you've found this info useful, dive into the links below.

Gann using 192 VibrationsHow to set up a GANN 192 vibration. Step 1: Using a 4H BTC chart I first lock my price/bar ratio to 5 in settings. Step 2: Now use a date range from the recent low to range 192 candles in front and then use a vertical line on the 192nd to help in step 3. Step 3: Now use a gann square fixed from the low to the 192nd bar infront. The vertical line will help the square meet the 192nd bar infront of you. Step 4: Now use a gann box and in the style settings apply angles to help overlay on top of the gann square fixed. The 1/1 angle will always be 45 degrees. Step 5: Now you can take the high from the gann box and use a fib speed resistance fan from bottle left to top 5 to make it look like a unicorn rainbow. Enjoy Did I just GANN in 5 steps?

BTC may have a short - term opportunityAt present, BTC has gone through the first wave of rise and entered the horizontal consolidation stage. If it does not break below the trend line below, there is still a chance to rush higher in theory. For the fund that was shorted yesterday, it can be considered to make a short term, but please do a good job in risk control. Standard of entry: zigzag line Stop surplus, upper pressure level, Stop loss: enter below the purchase price Contract position: 10 times or less Applicable people: have enough trading experience, understand the risk of contract trading, and understand the standard of the word war.

Bitcoin's Fake Breakdown: Another Bullish Signal (We Go UP!)Bitcoin (XBTUSD) had a fake breakdown, which only assists us in buying more for our active LONG XBT trade. Bitcoin breaking down is bad because we are at an important phase for Bitcoin and we saw one recently that we can now say was completely fake. A fake breakdown, or bears/sellers rejection, is a perfect bullish signal. Bear trap, shakeout, whatever you want to call it, Bitcoin is moving back up after yesterday's drop. We remain bullish on Bitcoin short term and have an active trade for it with over 100% ROE potential. You can see it here: Thanks a lot for reading... Feel free to hit LIKE. Namaste.

Still a bull run opportunity? YES but guess what...read belowHere's why close above 20 MA is key. The good news is that price recently did not closed below 20 MA. Here's how I worked out price right now above 20 MA is still key to possible big move up. Using my custom MACD (6, 13, close, 31), only interested in dark green in the histogram. Here's the magic key. You need to mark all the first days when the bleu MACD rises from a trough (don't include days when blue MACD turns positive). From those first days up it's vital that price does not close below 20 MA. That's when I added in the light blue background squares to mark out Price x Time = Volume covered before price dropped below the 20 MA again. The stats and strategies possible are worth a look. Then again not sure if the size of sample in my study was good enough to make findings relevant. So I'm a bear for now because based on my earlier studies 20 MA was broken, but because price closed above 20 MA if it continues to hold we are still in a potential upside opportunity. Not Advice. DYOR.
