      "body": "On another Christmas with a blood red market I feel like sharing my views on investing in alts and the strategy I’ll be using for 2018. I hope this can be of some benefit to any beginners out there. \n\nINVESTING IN CRYPTOCURERNCIES IS NOT TOO LATE\nCryptocurrencies is the wild west of investing. It is a new frontier and it is just beginning. As the concept has reached the main stream media one can get a feeling that it is already too late to get in. It is not. Not by a long shot! Actually that is a fallacy of the mind. We look back in time and think “sure that happened” but when we look forward the uncertainty makes us insecure and hesitant.\n\nThat said there is a lot of potential in altcoins. They can make you rich and they can bankrupt you. Therefore, the first rule is to ONLY INVEST WHAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE LOOSING. If you invest more you WILL be too emotionally involved and you run the risk of not being able to think clearly. This means that you will be prone to rushing in with buy orders at all-time highs and to panic sell everything during corrections. Both will result in losing your money.  \nTo make money from investing you need a clear strategy and to stick to it. Different strategies may work but SWITCHING between strategies will not! Again, this will cause you to make bad decisions and to lose money. My advice can be summoned up as follows: \n\nPICKING YOUR COINS\n1.\tGo to https://coinmarketcap.com/. Unless you have some special information on a project, go for coins with a market cap > $100mn. These tend to be more solid projects with less risk. Trying to get rich by investing in an unknown project is a gamble and highly unlikely considering the huge amount of coins available. \n\n2.\tLook for projects with a daily trading volume of > $1mn. Again, this may be omitted if you have some special information, but generally you want coins with at least some interest from buyers. \n\n3.\tOnce you have located a potential candidate, go to the coin website and read about the project. Is it well described in a professional manner with good illustrations and possibly videos? Does it have a transparent technical vision? Does it make sense to use block chain technology for the project? Is there a clear timeline with progressive development of the project?\n\n4.\tLook at the team behind the coin. This is ABSOLUTLY key. Are they trustworthy? Are they competent? Do they have team members or advisors who have been successful in previous or blockchain related endevours? Is the team active and engaged in promoting their coin on socla media and at live events?\n\n5.\tGo to forums like http://www.reddit.com and https://bitcointalk.org and get a feel for what people are saying about the coin. Is there an active community supporting it? This is a clear plus. Look for people who are excited about the technology. However, DO NOT base your decisions on anyone saying that the price is going to jump 100x times in a few days or weeks. No one knows! \n\nRemember – there are so many coins to choose from that there is no need to compromise. Don’t be afraid to discount a coin if there is something you don’t like. Don’t think about what you might be missing. It is about what you choose and not what you don’t choose!  \n\nINVESTING\nOnce you have found a suitable candidate, you obviously need to find an exchange which sells it. I like Bittrex and Binance as they both have an excellent selection of coins and manageable platforms. No matter how much research you have done, be aware, that there is a large amount of luck involved in investing in coins. The fewer coins you choose, the larger the change is of hitting the jackpot. But at the same time the risk of losing your money increases. I like to focus on 5 to 10 coins at a time. However, this is a matter of preference and risk adversity.\n\nI don’t believe that you should kid yourself and try to hit the perfect market swings for investment. You should buy if you think the value is right. It is right if you believe it will go up. Simple as that. However, you want to be careful investing at all-time highs as this confers an increased risk. Contrary, it may be a good idea to buy during general dips in the market as your coin of choice will likely be down due to the general sentiment of the market and not due to intrinsic factors of the coin. \n\nSTRATEGY\nOnce you have invested you need a strategy on how to manage your new coins. As a default you must stick to this strategy. Now in this context, nothing is really right or wrong. You just need to stick to it!\n\nThe simplest approach is to simply hold the coins and forget about them for a while. This is a long term strategy and often the best way to go, especially if you don’t have the time to follow the charts on a regular basis. \n\nAn alternative is to set goals as you start. For example you can choose to sell everything once the coin has doubled or you can sell half at this point taking out your initial investment. With this approach you may also want to go long and reinvest some of your money with dips. You can also sell everything at a certain value. Charts can help you in determining this. If you are not skilled in making advanced analyses yourself you may find help at investing sites such as https://www.tradingview.com. If you chose this strategy, you must tell yourself that you will be happy taking home a profit. This means DO NOT keep following the charts after the sale and blame yourself that you could have made more money. It is almost impossible to hit all-time highs and lows and doing so is almost always connected to luck.\n\nIt is controversial if you should use a “stop-loss” in a market as volatile as altcoins. Personally I don’t. However, you may want to set it at for example a 20% drop and keep adjusting up as the price rises. This is both a way of limiting losses and taking profit but it may seriously compromise your gains with also a way of taking profit if the coin takes a lot of swings.\n\nADJUSTING YOUR STRATEGY\nThis should be done rarely and ONLY IF ANYTHING CHANGES. You want to follow the news about your coins and the market in general in reliable sources. This includes the website of your coin and the official twitter feeds. Changes may cause you to buy (for example if the team behind your coin is strengthened by a prominent name or makes a deal with a well-known company) or to sell (for example someone leaving the team or failure to deliver on a certain promise). It may also be something in the general market and not related to your coin specifically. For example it can be good to take out some profit if you believe a general market correction is coming. However, this is tricky and decisions should be rational and NOT emotional.\n\nAnother reason to change strategy is if something changes with YOU. This could be anything that changes your risk adversity. For the positive you may come into more money somehow and want to invest more. But more importantly, your willingness to take a risk may go down which should cause you to reduce your investment. This goes back to the fact that you should ONLY INVEST WHAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE LOOSING. Otherwise you will become too emotionally invested and your ability to make good decisions will be compromised.\n\nAbove all: NEVER rush to buy a coin just because you see it going up or hear a rumor and NEVER panic sell because something is not going your way in the short term. You should always have a strategy and if you get caught with emotions it is time to step away from the computer, take a breath, and do nothing. Emotional split decisions are how money is lost. I cannot stress this enough.\n\nLet me know if you enjoyed the post. Comments and questions are welcome. Critiques as well. I’m just a guy sharing his views and opinions. If you liked the post and decide to go invest in smaller cap alts, my referral link for Binance is: https://www.binance.com/?ref=15712293.

      "body": "On another Christmas with a blood red market I feel like sharing my views on investing in alts and the strategy I’ll be using for 2018. I hope this can be of some benefit to any beginners out there. \n\nINVESTING IN CRYPTOCURERNCIES IS NOT TOO LATE\nCryptocurrencies is the wild west of investing. It is a new frontier and it is just beginning. As the concept has reached the main stream media one can get a feeling that it is already too late to get in. It is not. Not by a long shot! Actually that is a fallacy of the mind. We look back in time and think “sure that happened” but when we look forward the uncertainty makes us insecure and hesitant.\n\nThat said there is a lot of potential in altcoins. They can make you rich and they can bankrupt you. Therefore, the first rule is to ONLY INVEST WHAT YOU ARE COMFORTABLE LOOSING. If you invest more you WILL be too emotionally involved and you run the risk of not being able to think clearly. This means that you will be prone to rushing in with buy orders at all-time highs and to panic sell everything during corrections. Both will result in losing your money.  \nTo make money from investing you need a clear strategy and to stick to it. Different strategies may work but SWITCHING between strategies will not! Again, this will cause you to make bad decisions and to lose money. My advice can be summoned up as follows: \n\nPICKING YOUR COINS\n1.\tGo to https://coinmarketcap.com/. Unless you have some special information on a project, go for coins with a market cap > $100mn. These tend to be more solid projects with less risk. Trying to get rich by investing in an unknown project is a gamble and highly unlikely considering the huge amount of coins available. \n\n2.\tLook for projects with a daily trading volume of > $1mn. Again, this may be omitted if you have some special information, but generally you want coins with at least some interest from buyers. \n\n3.\tOnce you have located a potential candidate, go to the coin website and read about the project. Is it well described in a professional manner with good illustrations and possibly videos? Does it have a transparent technical vision? Does it make sense to use block chain technology for the project? Is there a clear timeline with progressive development of the project?\n\n4.\tLook at the team behind the coin. This is ABSOLUTLY key. Are they trustworthy? Are they competent? Do they have team members or advisors who have been successful in previous or blockchain related endevours? Is the team active and engaged in promoting their coin on socla media and at live events?\n\n5.\tGo to forums like http://www.reddit.com and https://bitcointalk.org and get a feel for what people are saying about the coin. Is there an active community supporting it? This is a clear plus. Look for people who are excited about the technology.

      "body": "I'm an MD and PhD. For a long time I've seen a strong need to democratize medical research  to make it work directly for the people who need it. It seems clear that blockchain technology could provide an opportunity to make this a reality. If this has your interest, give it a read. I'd love to hear thoughts from the Steemit community!\n\n**Introduction**\nToday almost any scientifically sound trial conducted is aimed at making money first and solving a healthcare problem second. Don't get me wrong; the technical developments and new medications are often amazing and modern medicine is a great achievement for mankind. But the money focused structure means the interest of users and developers are not always aligned and it has created a gap in the field of medical research in which potentially valuable treatments may not be fully explored. This could possibly be mended by the democratic structure of the blockchain. \n\n**The Global Healthcare ICO**\nThe purpose of  the project would be to finance high quality research in substances and technologies that can benefit individuals and communities but do not have the potential to generate income for the pharma industry. \n\nExamples may be: \n\n- Cannabis in the treatment of pain conditions\n- In depth exploration of the effects of acupuncture \n- Lifestyle and exercise based interventions in various conditions \n- The role of vitamins in cell function and healthy aging\n- The calming role of animals in relation to dementia and other cognitive disorders\n- Exploration of older un-patentable substances  in new problems. \n- Comparisons of available therapies not in the interest of pharmaceutical companies. \n\nThe funds to achieve this would come from a a *Global Healthcare ICO* in which stakeholders select the projects to recieve funding through use of coins.\n\n**Structure**\nAfter initial fundraising, eligible projects will be selected by a board of trustees with a strong scientific background. Subsequently, final decision of projects will be made based on a vote among token holders. This allows for a democratic selection process while maintaining a high level of quality in the projects to make sure they may in fact provide reliable answers to the questions they pose. \n\nFunds will be delivered based on approved projects with detailed budget. Paid out in either local currency or bitcoins in order to ensure that limitations in researcher's and academic institutions ability to understand and handle virtual currency does not become a barrier in the execution of valid projects. A charitable foundation will be set up to handle fiat currency transfers. \n\n**Next Steps**\nI need collaborators who are knowledgeable about blockchain technology to further develop these thoughts. The use of coins and benefit for stakeholders also need to be defined. My thoughts are preliminary and I am first and foremost a doctor and a scientist. Send me a message. Comment on the post. Tell me how you can help. Tell me why I am wrong. \n\nThank you for your attention!",

      "body": "When I was a kid, I was once told that 90% of people do what is expected of them. The guy who told me perceived it as a way of controlling others. Even manipulating them. I sometimes think back at the advise. And always with regret. Because not only have I not been able to use the advise to my advantage. I've become one of the 90% who are controlled by expectations of others. At 35 I feel stuck in the expectations and frustrated that I have followed them for so long that it is becoming unclear which of my actions are actually controlled by my own will and my own desires. It's very few I suspect. I feel a growing desire to take my life back. But it also comes with a fear of loosing what I have. Even if I'm not happy with the way things are.\n\nMy alarm rings at 5.55. This gives me the time i need to get dressed, eat 2 precooked eggs and drink a large cup of cold brewed coffee before I leave the house at 6.20. I used to have fried eggs and real coffee. But that took too long. Especially drinking the hot beverage. I tell my self I like the eggs and cold brew. But I miss having time. If it was up to me I would sleep at least 2 hours longer and take a slow morning. And I would meditate. I real life however, it seems the time is not there.\n\nI get on my bike for the 12 km ride to work. I hate the cold but I appreciate the almost empty streets early in the morning. I don't like traffic. Or crowds. I wonder why I live in Copenhagen. Once I get to work I go into the gym and work out for about half an hour. I find this exercise important partly because I do enjoy it but mostly because being in shape makes me feel more comfortable in my own body. I'll admit I'm a bit vain. But not pathologically so. At least this feels like something I do for myself.\n\nMy work is helping others. I think this ties back to the bit about expectations. It's worsened by the fact that only a minority expresses gratitude for my time and commitment. Mostly it's taken for granted and some even seem to struggle to find things they can complain about. If you've ever waited in a doctors office and found yourself getting irritated you are likely a self absorbed prick. The time is obviously spent on helping someone else who has a problem that takes longer. Wouldn't you want that for yourself?  The entitlement and complaints often makes me hate my job. In fact they take up an unreasonable amount of energy.\n\nI've started investing in bitcoins. They seem like the fastest way to get rich and get out of my shitty job. It's like playing the lottery. Only I hope the odds are better. I check the rates several times a day although my investment is nowhere near a level where this even makes sense.\n\nBefore I'm home it's usually five in the afternoon. At this time my email has had time to fill up with correspondences from people who expect something from me. Again this is usually without any sense of appreciation for my time and efforts. I'm asked to do research for free, to review the work of others for free, to act on behalf of different associations for free, to give (so many) lectures for free. I never finish. And despite the fact that I donate my free time I often get implicit abuse about the things I don't find time for. I'm driven by not letting people down. No matter how unreasonable they are.\n\nI have a wonderful girlfriend. She loves me. She supports me. She usually makes dinner while I work in front of the computer. In return I neglect her for people I don't know but who show the kind of expectations I feel obliged to fulfill. And even that is really nothing compared to how I've neglected seeing my family and friends over the last several years. It seems I tend to neglect the people who doesn't have unreasonable expectations. Even though it's laughably obvious that these are the ones who deserves attention.\n\nThe last bits of my days I spend tired in front of the tv. The moving pictures serve to turn off my brain so I don't think about all the expectations I haven't been able to fulfill. \n\nThen I sleep",
