Hello, I don't trade crypto and I never will. I'll give you one tip. Look at a graph of bitcoin, litecoin etc. that extends past the last bubble and collapse and ask yourself if you are willing to eat those kinds of losses if they occur again. https://99bitcoins.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/bitcoin-ma...

Looks like your link is broken due to some hotlink prevention stuff. :(

That's a shame. Good news is that any graph of bitcoin's historical price over the last 6 years will serve just as well :)

https://statetable.com ~ $30/month from donations covers my Digital Ocean bill for the month. I'm also trying to get some sales & affiliate revenue going with athletic wear designs on Zazzle. Starting with a niche to get rolling then probably expanding to more general designs. The biggest problem I've hit so far is their fulfillment times & prices.

Any revenue from the ad?

Trading cryptocurrency - in stock markets charting, Elliot wave don't really work as well (or not easy to use), you're trading against hyper experienced investors. In Bitcoin, ethereum, there is broad participation by less experienced investors and speculators, and there is much more emotions in the chart. It makes technical analysis very easy, because the patterns are obvious, easy to spot, much less likely to be ma…

How much have you made since March with bitcoin?

Thanks for filling out your profile! Helped give some background.

No problemo, let me know if you have any questions...

No questions, algo trading is not something I want to get into. But it was interesting to read about your approach

Yes, if the purpose is to make money as opposed to learning or for fun, I agree it's better to ride the trend. :)

I flip stuff on ebay and/or craigslist (or the german equivalent). I want to experiment a little bit with retail arbitrage on amazon fba too. It is really easy to get started (just sell stuff that you can find in your house and don't need anymore) and I really like this treasure hunt feeling when entering a thrift store or looking for clearance. made me so far around 300€ in less than 30 days and still have inventory…

>It is really easy to get started (just sell stuff that you can find in your house and don't need anymore) and I really like this treasure hunt feeling when entering a thrift store or looking for clearance. Interesting. What is the process for getting started and then doing it? Can you provide some links? And by flip I suppose you mean buy and then sell?

Well I just looked around in my house for stuff I haven't touched for 3 months or so. I just looked it up on ebay and craigslist and posted it there. that was how I did my first 300€ bucks now. And then for flipping (buying and reselling higher), look for thrift stores, garage sales, yard sales and so on. If you want to know what to buy look for some youtube channels e.g.: Ralliroots, 10konthebay, rockstarflipper

Just one tip for eBay: don't do auctions. You will usually get low-balled. research the market price and price the item accordingly.
