While it seems like it might be fun to be able to outplay the market almost every individual trader does not beat the market, with 97% of them failing to even make a profit. And of those who did make a profit they did so with great risk to their capital (and probably sanity).

Day Trading is incredibly risky and the odds are you won't make money 97% of Brazilian day traders didn't make money. And the 3% who did...

History: There are many people within the cryptocurrency space who think blockchain is a completely new concept created by Satoshi Nakamoto (Bitcoin’s creator), unfortunately, they would be wrong. The concept and theory of the blockchain, as a database, has been around for 27 years with the theory being developed by some cryptographers named Haber and Stornetta. Haber and Stornetta were looking to create a cryptographically secure system where documents could not be tampered with. [ 1,010 more word ]

Update

I've been not maintaining my presences as much on this platform as I'd like to. I want to support the crypto and steemit community more. So I'm planning to start a daily crypto news blog post. I will be posting a gathering of crypto news items towards the end of each day.

Further, I'm hoping to post an educational article or a coin review every week or two from here on out using steempress. Steempress is an app that allows bloggers to post to both their blog and steemit without much hassle. Seems pretty awesome.

"Investment is so to speak a game of snap, of old maid, of musical chairs. A pastime in which he is the victor who says snap neither too soon nor too late, who passes the old maid to his neighbor before the game is over, who secures a chair for himself when the music stops. These games can be played with zest and enjoyment though all the players know that it is the old maid which you circulate or when the music stops some of the players will find themselves unseated." - John Maynard Keynes.

Don't let yourself be stuck holding a bad asset. Stop losses are important. Investing is less about making good choices and more about knowing when you made a bad one.
