What they are saying

A highly respected crypto expert, Ki-Young Ju, disclosed the ongoing activity in the ever-volatile Crypto market on his Twitter feed, by critically hinting that buying pressure has paused in recent days.

  • “People trade $BTC with low leverage, open interest is skyrocketing, and the long-short ratio looks neutral. Strong on-chain buying signals that have driven this bull market hasn’t come up so far. Bitcoin might retest 30k, so I don’t have any position now in this uncertain market.”

    This is a zero-sum game;investors are on both sides of trading- what some lose is gained by others. I think it will be more appropriate to balance the story noting the other side of the trade.

    It is no longer a new thing that both Bitcoin and Ethereum is still making alot of people ” stupid rich” 10$ (ten) dollars seven years ago is now worth $7.5 million Bitcoins today. And $100 (hundred dollars) in ethereum has increased to as high as $66,290 in under 2 years! The trend is on a daily worldwide , investors in crypto and digital currencies are getting rich daily. I personally have invested in bitcoin and Ethereum and I have collected bigger gains investing these coin than anything else in my life. for example I bought bitcoin twice, last year and early this year , 10 coin $83.40. And 20 more at $128. today my 20 coins trade nearly than 24 times higher. And I also bought Etherium last November at $9.70 before it rocket to $355! I was up over 3,500%. But here is the thing nobody is talking about, bitcoin and ethereum aren’t the real success stories anymore, it is the smaller and unpopular digital currencies that are rewarding investors with the next round of huge wins. for example, I recently obtained 27,000 coins in a tiny digital currency just 80.5 cents per coin. does coins now trade around $4, each 1,981% higher and I invested in another one that jumped from one point $1.50 to $10.71 . Yet this opportunity is just getting started, today I will show you New digital currency that can turn as little as $10 into over $1million in the blink of an eye, yes that’s right . A single crispy of $10 can make you a millionaire. Now for the doubters, not only is it possible, it actually happening right now, a considerable number of investors worldwide have seen have seen gain of 75,063% in cryptonite, 59, 577% in influxcoin , 60,450% in Max coin and even 823,750% in Dubaicoin . Bitcoin is offering profit bigger than your expectation and much quickly. I have personally made 600% in Bitcoin. I will stop here so that I don’t bore you guys but it is sure worth your time.
