Daily Bullets 💊: Which Narratives and Catalysts Does Crypto Have Now?

💊 M6 Daily Bullets 💊 Thursday, September 15th

Le Et hirium Merde has come and gone! What do we do with ourselves now!? This event has been the focus of most of the remaining crypto community for so long and pricewise it has been incredibly underwhelming. We initially stayed pretty flat for a few hours - and then ETH began dumping. BTC currently under $20k and ETH ~ $1400.  Looking pretty sell-the-news-y. Everyone is asking the same question - what narratives and catalysts do we have to look forward to now? There’s a few candidates floating around - gonna cover them in tomorrow’s weekly recap so check that out. In the meantime - the macro is still heavy and is likely to remain so for a while. Gonna keep an eye on that for a sense of when to shift back to being risk on.

Particularly interesting is that a ton on ETH was moved onto exchanges starting yesterday. Usually crypto gets moved onto an exchange to be sold.

HARD FORKS

Loved DR Leemon Baird's breakdown of what Hardforks are and how the Hedera Network Prevents them https://youtu.be/mYrTBxfanPU

''A hard fork is a new software update implemented by a blockchain or cryptocurrency’s network nodes that is incompatible with the existing blockchain protocol, causing a permanent split into two separate networks that run in parallel.

The most notable example of such an event was the creation of the new Ethereum chain after the original chain, now called Ethereum Classic, suffered a devastating $150 million hack in 2016 due to security vulnerabilities. In order to restore the funds of victims, the Ethereum Foundation implemented a new update that rolled back the DAO hackers’ subsequent illicit transactions.

The most famous hard fork is surely 2017’s Bitcoin's hard fork, which created Bitcoin Cash. A long-running community dispute came to a head, when Bitcoin Cash miners updated to a protocol version that increased the block size from 1MB to 8MB. As a result, Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash now exist as two vastly different blockchains, catering to different communities with their own rules and objectives.''

Crypto and fiat battle

Many people feel that within five years, crypto will supplant traditional money. By avoiding the dependency on banks, many participating in crypto contend that they would democratize currency. In theory, anybody with access to a computer (and some hardware) may "mine" for cryptocurrencies, and with the price of a single Bitcoin now fixed at $20,000, anyone can become extremely wealthy.

Transactions involving cryptocurrencies are typically handled in a matter of minutes as opposed to days for bank transfers. The parties involved and the specifics of the transaction are kept mostly secret. Cryptocurrency has several advantages, as seen by the industry's explosive expansion. Additionally, it has grown in popularity as a result of the genuine potential for cryptocurrency income. Additionally, new projects that actively and effectively advance and popularize cryptocurrency continue to be attracted to it. Projects as incredibly inventive as Bind.com have made this feasible. With Bind, we will have access to a clear ecosystem that will enable cryptocurrency transactions as simple and quick as banking apps. We will be able to make rapid purchases and instantaneously exchange cryptocurrency for fiat cash and vice versa. It is a chance for us to make money in addition to increased revenues for the sellers who will be selling their goods on the site. Such initiatives revolutionize the cryptocurrency industry. While ETH is the topic of conversation, other significant events are taking place.


Is trading difficult?

Is trading difficult?

📷

Is trading difficult? This is the first thing you might think of when you want to get into this field, after a quick search on the internet revealed thousands of articles claiming that most traders lose money. There is even some unsubstantiated data that up to 95% of day traders lose money and most of them are no longer trading. But the numbers show that trading is very difficult, and the risk of losing money is very high. 

Some people see trading as a shortcut to fortunes, while others dismiss it as a scam. Moreover, the truth about trading is that it is much more difficult than social media might think, but it is also not a definitive path to losses that the statistics indicate. The truth is that trading can be very profitable because it is very difficult. 

If it was easy, we wouldn't be able to make big money doing it.

 In this article, we will explain to you the concept of trading, where it is difficult, and tell you about some of the ways that lead you to successful trading. 

The concept of trading Most of the people are

 constantly trading 

in their daily lives, even though they are not aware of the fact that they are doing it. For example: everything we buy from shops is a kind of money circulation in exchange for the goods or services we buy. Thus, the concept of trading can be simplified by defining it as exchanging one thing for another. 

Trading depends mainly on supply and demand, as the price of the thing that a person or a group of people wants to buy changes depending on the change in supply and demand, and the high demand for the commodity or financial asset. 

On the other hand, the increase in the proposed commodity means that there is no demand for it, or that the quantity supplied of it is higher than the volume of demand for it. 

Which may lead to a drop in its price in order to attract customers to buy it. 

Why is trading difficult?

There are many reasons that have made trading difficult, for example: 

The difficulty of mastering the trade 

One of the difficulties of trading Many new traders aspire to trading thinking that it is easy to make money. Usually, most of them are tempted by advertisements that tell them to easily make money by taking some signals, and spending only 30 minutes a day watching the market.

The truth is that learning to trade is not easy. Trade is a profession that requires high skills, such as a doctor or an engineer. It takes about 3-5 years to obtain a certificate in these professions. 

After that, the student still needs to gain experience for a few years before knowing the specifics of the profession. It may seem too easy because of what the ads are telling you. But the reality of trading is much more difficult than you think. It takes time to familiarize yourself with the different concepts. It takes time to master the different concepts. It also takes some time to move from biblical knowledge to trading with real money.

 Losing money is emotionally painful

 One of the reasons that trading is one of the hardest places to make money is that we are so attached to our money. As we all know how hard it is to make money with physical labor. A person may earn $10 an hour working from day to night. While he can earn $500 a week. In the stock market, you could potentially lose $500 in an hour.

 Nobody can control the direction of the market

When it comes to the stock market, not even the richest and most powerful individuals can control the direction of the market. In the event of a stock malfunction, a rich person may be able to support the stock for a period of time by buying the stock. But if the stock is for a shoddy company, no matter how much you buy, it will eventually go where it wants to go. This is one of the reasons why trading is difficult.

 Trading requires tremendous discipline to follow the rules

 When it comes to trading, a trader who has a clear strategy with certain rules is able to succeed in the market in the long run. Additionally, as a trader gains experience in the market, he or she will notice what works, and what doesn't. You must also avoid the things that do not work, and follow the things that do. Reading books, listening to other traders, and discovering oneself can enable traders to come up with a set of rules to follow, and make trading easier.

Trading requires a lot of hard work

 Many people do not think that trading requires a lot of hard work and that it is not very difficult. But it doesn't work that way. It takes time to learn technical concepts and skills. Analyzing markets and stocks also requires a lot of hard work.

The most important rules to facilitate the difficulty of trading

  • Using a Trading Plan: A trading plan is a set of rules that determine the entry and exit of a trader. Knowing that money management is an important criterion for every purchase.
  • Treat trading as a business: To be successful, you should treat trading as a full-time or part-time job, not as a hobby. Furthermore, trading is a business and involves expenses, losses, and risks as well. As a trader, you are basically the owner of a small business, and you must research and strategize to get the most out of your business.
  • Use technology to your advantage: Charting platforms offer traders a wide range of ways to view and analyze the markets. It also allows them to get market updates via a smartphone, and monitor trades anywhere, which can make it easier for them to trade.
  •  Trading capital protectionYour: Securing enough money to fund a trading account takes a great deal of time and effort. And it can be more complicated if you have to do this twice. It is important to note that protecting your trading capital is not synonymous with trying a losing trade. Protecting your capital also requires not taking on undue risk and doing everything you can to maintain your business. Become a student of the markets: It is important to realize that understanding markets, and all their intricacies, is a lifelong process. Hard research allows traders to understand the facts, such as what the various economic reports mean. Focus and observation also allow traders to hone their instincts and learn the nuances.
  •  Knowing when to stop trading: There are two reasons to stop trading: an ineffective trading plan and an ineffective trader. The ineffective trading plan shows much greater losses than expected. This happens when the markets have changed, or the volatility may have decreased.

 In conclusion, don't let the difficult reality of trading intimidate you. If you really want something, persevere and work on it without asking yourself if trading is hard. And if you are able to profit from the markets consistently, it will open up a whole new world for you that you have never known before.
