Mark Cuban: Although he has dismissed Bitcoin as a bubble, he made it clear that he believes in the value of cryptocurrencies, noting that “I’m not questioning the value. I’m questioning valuation”. This is in line with his concerns about a bubble, and he back this up with his own valuation, albeit a lot lower than current values.

The article might be support for crypto in general, but there are some that think BTC is way overpriced.

FX is more a bubble...especially those who think you can trade it profitably.
Putting your money into stocks, ETFs etc is safer. Buy and hold beats FX trading.
99% of FX traders lose yet people want governments to ban btc lol.
Also the reality of current money is that the debt tied to it can never disappear. Yet people vote for politicians who favor austerity.
BTC is more aligned to reality than the endless printing of government money.

The most common warning I have seen made by Central banks about Bitcoin is that it has no intrinsic value. The present valuation is simply driven by greed and the greater fool theory. Bitcoin is just digital codes of 0's and 1's.
The notion that cryptocurrencies will replace fiat currencies is simply reasoning based on fantasy and not an understanding of the fundamentals and the function of a governing sovereign state. The major currencies act as a medium of exchange in international trade because they are backed by the sovereign nations that not only provide stability but security, law and order in which international trades are conducted. Without security, law and order there will be no international trades - just chaos. Imagine when an orderly society is displaced, there will be no functioning electricity, and no internet. Try transacting with your crypto then - good luck.

'Without security, law and order there will be no international trades' - this is the old system.
Think about what you are saying if we replace currency with the internet
'Without security, law and order there will be no internet'. Computers can make transactions with no humans overseeing them. Think about how ridiculous it is when you want to advocate manual work rather than a robot doing it.
'Without a manual worker, there will be no cars being made' yet cars are being made with robots.
So the old system = fiat currency will of course push peoples boundaries since they will violently reject the new.
Not saying anything about the price about btc but talking about fiat currency vs digital currencies with a limited amount.
Also on this site people are invested in fx so they want btc to fail otherwise they would have to learn something new.
In the end if btc and other digital currencies win, fx fiat trading will disappear like all old forms. Blockbuster vs netflix etc. Napster vs the music industry that kept on rejecting the new.

PETER SCHIFF - Bitcoin may look profitable, this is a trap that you should never be fooled by - update 2017
https://investivdaily.com/how-will-you-react-to-volatility
Temporarily offline? Woops: can't offload the BTC while the price is high; losing money by the minute (poor BTC investors)
https://investivdaily.com/how-will-you-react-to-volatility
Investors usually hold through the downturn only to sell in capitulation and buy back in when things turn back to optimism which leads to terrible long term returns. Where are you now on the above chart and how does your emotional state influence your investing activities? It’s extremely important to have a clear strategy in place for when we see an increase in volatility as this will prevent you from making emotional decisions.

More than 95% of forex traders lose money trading forex
https://www.theforexguy.com/forex-traders-lose-money/
In some cases only 2% are profitable.
Who earns money on forex?
Banks and brokers.
Stop promoting forex it is a pure gamble, like a casino.

The title of this thread is 'Reasons why you should NOT trade cryptocurrencies'.
I welcome your input on cryptocurrencies and why they are to be avoided.
There is another thread if you wish to promote cryptocurrencies, by Leo23:
https://www.myfxbook.com/community/general/trading-cryptocurrencies-bitcoinetherium-litecoin-etc/1513362,1
1. there is a big difference between cryptocurrencies and forex.
2. myfxbook is a forex community: I question why you are a member if you do not support forex trading.

The problem with your reasoning is the fallacious logic used.
No doubt that AI and robotics will replace manual activities in the future but that itself doesn't mean that cryptocurrencies will replace fiat currencies. That is a fallacy of equivocation.

Every business is a gamble, unless you know what you are doing and are good at it. With the right skills, trading(forex, stocks, commodities) is actually one of the safest business opportunities out there.

We should then focus on what the 2% know. Clearly the 2% don't invest and flip these currencies as we see on the charts day in and day out. It is only the retailers that buy/sell and hold for the big win but no one on wall street trades that way.

Nice videos. However, it doesn't change the fact that we can profit a lot 'trading' it!
I mainly sell bitcoin but it moves and has the same patterns as forex. Why not do it?

Agreed. Well done my friend. 😎
I am unable to change the thread title from 'Reasons why you should NOT trade cryptocurrencies' to 'Reasons why you should NOT invest long-term in cryptocurrencies'
Indeed, it would be a more accurate title to this thread, and this is the purpose I intended. Cryptocurrency has volatility ten times higher than gold (so I heard somewhere) - if your broker permits it, trade the hell out of it! Just don't invest in it long-term (or rather, only invest money you can afford to lose - consider it lost already). 😎
Thank you for your input!
PS. In addition to increasing margin requirements, IC Markets has 'Close Only' on BTCUSD positions.
