|
||
What are cryptocurrencies?
|
||
A cryptocurrency is a type of digital currency that is based
|
||
on cryptography, you know: public, private keys, signing,
|
||
SSL, DES, etc. Why? Well, for the usual reasons that you
|
||
choose to encrypt your own data. Confidentiality mixed
|
||
with the security to making money difficult to counterfeit.
|
||
Since cryptocurrencies often exhibit a distributed nature,
|
||
asymmetric cryptography (i.e. public and private keys) is
|
||
often preferred over single key schemes.
|
||
Leaving the technical view aside cryptocurrencies also
|
||
have political meaning. They are considered to be a
|
||
“counter-culture” movement similar to cypherpunks (tech
|
||
and cryptography enthusiasts) and the traditional hacker
|
||
spirit (e.g. Richard Stallman: “free software, free society”), to
|
||
change the political society.
|
||
Gavin Andresen, lead developer of “The Bitcoin Project”
|
||
told forbes that cryptocurrencies are an attempt to have a
|
||
decentralized “currency of the people” with no interfering
|
||
of a central bank.
|
||
One of the perks of distributed, global cryptocurrencies
|
||
are that they’re basically fiat currencies, meaning that the
|
||
value is dependent on the people’s estimate of it’s worth,
|
||
i.e. its value is basically determined by supply and demand.
|
||
Also they are not subject to central regulation, thus a
|
||
central bank such as the Fed (Federal Reserve System)
|
||
cannot lower or increase their value.
|
||
A side-effect of decentralization is that it is hard to
|
||
impossible for law enforcement to freeze, or wipe, user
|
||
transactions and accounts. Law jurisdiction also has a hard
|
||
time to track payments committed by users, this makes
|
||
it hard to block what would otherwise be illegal niche
|
||
markets (such as illegal drug acquisitions).
|
||
|
||
The most famous representative for a cryptocurrency is,
|
||
you probably guessed it already, Bitcoin ( ).

||

|
||
What can I do with Bitcoins?
|
||
Well, for one thing you can do what you do with traditional
|
||
currencies, such as Dollars ($), Yen (¥), or Thai Baath ( ,
|
||
yes the Bitcoin symbol is the same as Baath). You can buy
|
||
฿
|
||
products from various stores, you can trade them, obtain
|
||
them by trading services, but also give Bitcoins as a gift.
|
||
Although Bitcoins are usually an online currency, i.e. with
|
||
no physical manifestation such as coins or paper, minting
|
||
services have evolved1, that provide means to mint your
|
||
digital Bitcoins in physical form (see Illustration 1). What
|
||
we will discuss below are Bitcoin wallets (which are
|
||
similar to regular wallets), Bitcoin trading markets (i.e.
|
||
MT-Gox), and Bitcoin shops where you can get products for
|
||
Bitcoins.

|
||
Security (for non techies)!
|
||
Security for Bitcoin users comes in various flavors, the
|
||
most important ones:
|
||
(1) Are Bitcoins fraud-resistant? Yes, Bitcoins are
|
||
based on complex mathematical theorems that prohibit
|
||
manipulation of coins in any way (i.e. change the value of a
|
||
coin to an arbitrary amount).
|
||
(2) Are transactions save? Bitcoin transactions don’t
|
||
happen instantaneously. The transaction is verified by
|
||
the peer-to-peer network of Bitcoin users, in a best-
|
||
effort analysis. If there are multiple positive confirmations
|
||
(many more than negative ones) from the network, the
|
||
likelihood of a valid transaction is very high. The down-
|
||
side is that therefore the transaction can take a few
|
||
minutes.
|
||
(3) Erroneous transaction? If you send Bitcoins to
|
||
someone and want them back, they’re gone. So, Bitcoin
|
||
transactions are not reversible (obviously if the receiver
|
||
sends the money back you’re ok). But keep in mind: If you
|
||
send money you better make sure that the address is
|
||
correct.
|
||
(4) Is my wallet save? Ah yes, just as in real live you
|
||
absolutely have to take care of your wallet. What a wallet
|
||
is and various implementations (yes, a wallet is a piece of
|
||
software) is covered below.
|
||
(5) Do shops scam? There are many trusted shops, some
|
||
of them will be discussed below. Again as in real life, there
|
||
are evildoers out there to get your money! Select carefully,
|
||
check their ratings and you will do just fine.
|
||
(6) Last but not least, are transactions anonymous?
|
||
Bitcoin increases the anonymity of traditional payment
|
||
systems manifold. Whereas traditional payments over
|
||
|
||
Get Your Automated Bitcoin Trading Robot at www.btcrobot.com
|
||
wire, credit card, etc. can be tracked easily, since sender,
|
||
recipient, and transfer institute (i.e., the bank) are always
|
||
known, with Bitcoin usually only a recipient id and sender
|
||
id (both being public keys that can be changed arbitrarily
|
||
often), and an IP address are known. If none of these
|
||
items can be mapped to a user the identity of the
|
||
participants in the transaction is undisclosed.
|
||
Mining? Is it reasonable?
|
||
Bitcoins are based on blocks. Blocks are data containing
|
||
information about past transactions and contain a hard
|
||
to solve mathematical problem. To add a block to the
|
||
block-chain demands some serious processing power.
|
||
As an incentive whoever solves this problem and sends
|
||
the solution to the network (i.e. is able to produce a block)
|
||
receives (at the time of writing) 25 Bitcoin as reward.
|
||
If somebody solves the operation before you do it, your
|
||
work is lost and you receive no reward. Furthermore
|
||
the difficulty of the problem is increased or decreased
|
||
every 2016 correct solved blocks, depending on the total
|
||
amount of calculation power available in the mining
|
||
network. In addition, the reward per block is halved every
|
||
210.000 solved blocks. For that reason, also the number
|
||
of existing coins is limited to 21 millions. Given the
|
||
current progression in mining capability the last coin is
|
||
conjectured to be mined between 2033 and 2140.
|
||
Summarizing: Who offers calculation power to the
|
||
Bitcoin network is rewarded with coins. Hence, every
|
||
day new Bitcoins are created from miners and new miners
|
||
join the network every day. In order to keep the complexity
|
||
of mining steep self-regulating algorithms have been
|
||
included to Bitcoin to adjust to new processing power.
|
||
|
||
Therefore the work or mining becomes harder for each
|
||
block.
|
||
Assuming you had decided decided to start mining in 2009
|
||
and never sold a mined coin prior to 2013, you should be
|
||
rich by now.
|
||
If you want to you can start today, you can still make
|
||
some money, but keep in mind: the golden mining era
|
||
is past.
|
||
Let us give you more details about why that is: The amount
|
||
of total existing Bitcoins is limited and the amount of
|
||
Bitcoins that can be mined per successful solved block is
|
||
also fixed. The performance when you are mining Bitcoin
|
||
is measured in MH/s, meaning millions of hash operations
|
||
executed per second by your PC. In 2009, a normal PC with
|
||
a common CPU was able to produce hundreds of Bitcoins
|
||
per day, basically because the network had low computing
|
||
power and there were almost no transactions (A geek
|
||
hobby). But with the success of Bitcoins, the rising of
|
||
brokers and the increasing value in dollars per coin, more
|
||
and more users discovered this fascinating world. Hence,
|
||
mining became ever more unyielding. To counteract this
|
||
trend CPUs were replaced by GPUs, which were replaced
|
||
by Multi-GPU rigs and now ASICs (Application Specific
|
||
Integrated Circuit), hardware specifically designed with
|
||
only one purpose: mining Bitcoin.
|
||
For this reason, mining Bitcoins with a common CPU
|
||
is useless today. Mining with a good AMD distinct GPU
|
||
(AMD 78xx, AMD 79xx) is ok, but will not make you rich.
|
||
Making money heavily depends on your local energy price,
|
||
hardware costs, and (obviously) the exchange value of
|
||
Bitcoin.
|
||
Using an NVIDIA card at the time of writing also seems to
|
||
be useless, since there are no good GPGPU implementations
|
||
|
||
Get Your Automated Bitcoin Trading Robot at www.btcrobot.com
|
||
for mining for this manufacturer. To give you an impression
|
||
about the current situation, at time of writing, an AMD 6970
|
||
is able to produce 0.0077 BTC per day, this is less than 0.8$
|
||
at an actual Bitcoin price of 100$.
|
||
We recommend to do the math before you start mining.
|
||
A Tip: Use a mining pool where you can share the work
|
||
(and also the reward) based on the provided calculation
|
||
power with other miners.
|
||
The links at the end of this chapter give you information for
|
||
mining pool pages and Bitcoin itself. We suggest you make
|
||
use of BTC Guild or Slush’s pool. They provide as a good
|
||
starting point.

||
Conclusion
|
||
If you want to start with Bitcoins and you don’t want to
|
||
spend money on brokers, you can still mine coins. But this
|
||
is pretty much to search for gold nuggets in a river or trying
|
||
to find the needle in a haystack. Maybe you find something,
|
||
maybe you waste your time. Our suggestion: if you want
|
||
to make money with Bitcoins, don’t mine them, trade
|
||
them!
|
||
What do I need to start?
|
||
The first thing that you should install is a so called Bitcoin
|
||
wallet. Bitcoins are a decentralized currency. No bank
|
||
account is needed. For that reason, a Bitcoin wallet is
|
||
the counterpart to your real money wallet. You can store
|
||
your Bitcoins in it, use it to send Bitcoins to other persons,
|
||
and of course receive Bitcoins even if you are offline. If you
|
||
lose your wallet, forget your password, or (heavens forbid)
|
||
somebody steals it, then your contained Bitcoins are lost.
|
||
Bitcoins are like real banknotes, they belong to the person
|
||
that owns them. So keep your wallet secure, make
|
||
regular backups and choose a secure password!
|
||
A wallet in itself is a very small piece of software for
|
||
windows, linux, or your smart-phone. You can see the
|
||
transactions in it, you can receive Bitcoins and send
|
||
Bitcoins using it. There is nothing more, small, simple, easy
|
||
to use.
|
||
Bitcoin.org is a good starting point if you need a wallet. You
|
||
can find several different wallets there. We recommend the
|
||
use of an open source version of a wallet, don’t use web-
|
||
based wallets or versions where the source is not available.
|
||
Remember: the web is dark and full of terrors (Yes,
|
||
nerdling, this is a direct quote from GoT).
|
||
|
||

|
||
We suggest the original version of the wallet called bitcoin-
|
||
qt. But also the mobile version works very well and you can
|
||
have your coins always with you.
|
||
Bitcoin-qt (windows version)
|
||
Download the wallet from bitcoin.org first. After the
|
||
installation, you will see the main page of the wallet.
|
||
Now you have to wait. As explained, there is no central
|
||
authority in the Bitcoin network. Check the validity
|
||
of the transactions: No Bitcoin can be spent twice
|
||
from a user. You cannot send or receive Bitcoins until
|
||
this synchronization is done. Unfortunately this needs
|
||
time. Actually you have to download around 8 GB of data
|
||
containing the block-chains. If you have a limited available
|
||
data rate, you can also order the block-chains via DVD.
|
||
After you start your wallet, you will see the following
|
||
screen. As you can see, also my new installed wallet was
|
||
out of sync and I had to wait several hours till the system
|
||
was synchronized.
|
||
|
||
Get Your Automated Bitcoin Trading Robot at www.btcrobot.com
|
||
After that initial step is done, it is highly recommended to
|
||
encrypt your wallet. Over “Settings-> Encrypt your wallet”,
|
||
you are able to protect your wallet. For every transaction
|
||
you will need to enter your secret password from now on.
|
||
So please use a secure password and store it in a secure
|
||
place. If you loose your password, also your Bitcoins are
|
||
lost. There is no central authority that can reset your
|
||
password, so be careful!
|
||
Bitcoins are sent and received using addresses.
|
||
Addresses are unique, long, alphanumerical strings
|
||
that represent the id of the person you want to send
|
||
Bitcoins. If you’re not careful it is entirely possible that
|
||
you send Bitcoins to the wrong person! Sending Bitcoins
|
||
to non-existent addresses does not work. To protect your
|
||
anonymity, a good wallet usually creates a new address for
|
||
each transaction. If you’re not interested in that feature you
|
||
can also opt to always use the same address. For example if
|
||
you send Bitcoins to some broker.
|
||
We strongly advice you to change the address for every
|
||
single transaction, since transactions are (as opposed
|
||
to urban legend) not anonymous! In order to secure
|
||
transactions, every single step in the transaction history is
|
||
recorded. But since you can change your address for every
|
||
transaction, you improve the protection of your anonymity
|
||
even if all steps are logged.
|
||
Synchronization of your wallet allows you to send and
|
||
receive Bitcoins. The fancy part of synchronization is that
|
||
you don’t have to be online to receive Bitcoins. In fact, if
|
||
you are offline and receive some coins, the transaction(s)
|
||
corresponding to the coinds is stored in the global
|
||
block-chain. Hence, when you finally come online and
|
||
synchronize your wallet Bitcoins come trickling in.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Important to remember here is, Bitcoin transactions
|
||
not instant are (Yoda-speak!). You can send Bitcoins
|
||
to a friend, but in order to avoid fraud, the nodes in the
|
||
network have to confirm your transaction. You need to
|
||
have 6 confirmations in order to have a 100% confirmed
|
||
transaction. Usually this needs around 10 minutes, but
|
||
since this is a dynamic network, sometimes some more
|
||
time is needed. From the first confirmation on, you are able
|
||
to re-transfer received coins to another wallet.

|
||
html where you can find information about how to backup
|
||
your wallet. Remember, if your wallet is lost, your Bitcoins
|
||
are also lost and nobody can give it back to you.
|
||
Mobile Apps
|
||
You may want to carry your Bitcoins with you, to pay at
|
||
a local restaurant for example. Or maybe you want to
|
||
trade them with local friends or resellers. Then a mobile
|
||
application (or App, as Hippsters call them) may be the
|
||
right tool for you. You can send and receive coins via QR-
|
||
code or use NFC. For more information about mobile apps,

||
Where to buy Bitcoins
|
||
There are several possibilities to get Bitcoins. You can mine
|
||
them as explained in a previous chapter. But nowadays this
|
||
method is not a top choice anymore. If you want to make
|
||
money with Bitcoins, becoming a Bitcoin trader is the best
|
||
choice.
|
||
There are different brokers out there. A Bitcoin broker is
|
||
like a regular stock exchange where you can buy or sell
|
||
coins.
|
||
The first place that you should visit is bitcoincharts [1]. This
|
||
is a site, where you can see the actual exchange values for
|
||
different brokers and currencies, but also statistic values
|
||
that should allow you to plan your purchases.
|
||
As you can see, there are several brokers out there. We
|
||
will discuss the biggest two in the next pages, Mt.Gox and
|
||
BTC-E.
|
||
[1] http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/
|
||
Mt.Gox
|
||
Mt.Gox [1] (pronounced “Mount Gox”), a Japanese company
|
||
founded in 2009, is by far the biggest Bitcoin exchange
|
||
on the web. In July 2013, around 54% of all exchanges of
|
||
Bitcoins were made using Mt.Gox. If you want to trade
|
||
Bitcoins, Mt.Gox should be your starting point.
|
||
|
||
Get Your Automated Bitcoin Trading Robot at www.btcrobot.com
|
||
You can trade Bitcoins for US Dollar, Euro, japanese Yen and
|
||
many other currencies on Mt.Gox. It is also a very mature
|
||
and nowadays very secure platform to trade.
|
||
[1] http://www.Mtgox.com
|
||
Registration
|
||
Mt. Gox has a long history of hacks, attacks and problems
|
||
in its past. For this reason, the company spend a lot of time
|
||
and money to create a secure platform, avoid fraud and
|
||
become a more serious player (for example it implemented
|
||
measures against money laundering). Unfortunately this
|
||
also means that the registration is a little bit more complex
|
||
than expected.
|
||
First of all you need to register on the site. Because the high
|
||
amount of new accounts per day it can take a little while
|
||
till your receive the confirmation mail, so be patient.
|
||
Once you received a confirmation mail, you have to provide
|
||
your credentials like name, address, city etc. Mt.Gox is not
|
||
the right place for persons with a strong sense for privacy
|
||
anymore. If you want to trade, to deposit or withdraw
|
||
money in your currency, you have also to conform your
|
||
credentials sending copies of an identity document and a
|
||
bill (gas, TV, ect) via fax or email. The confirmation of this
|
||
documents takes 5 to 10 days. Doing so, Mt.Gox wants to
|
||
prevent any sort of criminal or illegal transactions.
|
||
During the last 12 months Mt.Gox became a very serious
|
||
bitcoin exchange that wants to have nothing to do with
|
||
some of the more semi-legal services on the web.
|
||
But there is no immediate need to provide your credentials
|
||
if you buy bitcoins somewhere else and want only to trade
|
||
with your bitcoins. Only if you want to remove bitcoins
|
||
|
||
Get Your Automated Bitcoin Trading Robot at www.btcrobot.com
|
||
from your Mt.Gox account or if you want to send the
|
||
earned money, you have some limits till you confirmed
|
||
your identity. As mentioned, Mt.Gox tries to avoid money
|
||
laundery and bring Bitcoin to a serious level.
|
||
Furthermore you should secure your account with a Google
|
||
Authenticator key. You can download Google authenticator
|
||
via Apple Appstore or Google Play for free. The provides
|
||
key changes every couple of minutes and protects your
|
||
Mt.Gox account from password stealing. You can add your
|
||
Authenticator key in the Security center of Mt.Gox.
|
||
BTC-E
|
||
BTC-E is the second most largest broker for Bitcoins.
|
||
Since it is by far smaller than Mt.Gox, BTC-E tried
|
||
another strategy to be successful: the security is lower
|
||
and the anonymity higher on BTC-E. There is no need to
|
||
provide any kind of further credentials to trade on BTC-E.
|
||
Username, password and email, that’s all needed to start
|
||
making money on BTC-E. Furthermore BTC-E has another
|
||
special feature: alternative cryptocurrencies!
|
||
Excursion: alternative “cryptocoins”
|
||
What we didn’t wrote till now is, that Bitcoin is not the sole
|
||
crypto-currency on the web. With the success of Bitcoin,
|
||
and based on its open-source principles, other, most
|
||
smaller alternative coin-types came up. Usually the trading
|
||
amount is smaller, the price lower and they are somehow
|
||
related to Bitcoin, meaning that if the Bitcoin market value
|
||
goes up, also the value of this alternative coins rises and
|
||
reversal.
|
||
So, whats the difference between Bitcoin and lets say
|
||
Litecoin or Featercoin you may ask. To be honest, not much.
|
||
One of this alternative cointypes changes the mechanism
|
||
|
||
Get Your Automated Bitcoin Trading Robot at www.btcrobot.com
|
||
behind the mining, so that ASICs and GPUs have not such a
|
||
big advantage against CPUs, other decreases the time till a
|
||
transaction is validated in order to speed up the transfer of
|
||
money. Probably none of this newer cryptocurrencies will
|
||
became as famous and high valuable as Bitcoin, but that
|
||
didn’t mean that you cannot make money with them. Check
|
||

|
||
them if you want!

if you want to be totally anonymous, you can look for local
|
||
reseller in your town or city. Localbitcoins [1] offers such
|
||
a service. And here is how it works: On Localbitcoins you
|
||
can create an advertising if you want to sell Bitcoin to
|
||
people in your own city. Or you can look for persons that
|
||
sell Bitcoin near to you. Usually the price for coins is higher
|
||
then, usually 5-10% over the actual market price in Mt.Gox.
|
||
If you want to sell coins, wait till sombody answers to
|
||
your advertising via mail. Then decide on a location, meet
|
||
the person, let you show the money and then transfer the
|
||
coins preferentially using your smart phone. When the
|
||
transaction ifs confirmed, take the money and the deal is
|
||
complete. Simple, secure, and totally anonymous!

Top 5 Bitcoin exchanges
|
||
by trading amount
|
||
As we have seen above there are multiple ways to attain
|
||
Bitcoins, ask a friend to exchange some of his Bitcoins with
|
||
some other currency (Dollars, ..), user LocalBitcoins, trade
|
||
wares (i.e. become a shop owner), visit a website such as
|
||
BTCQUICK [1] and fund your wallet with your own money.
|
||
From their website:
|
||
„Purchasing bitcoins through btcQuick is the fastest
|
||
way to buy Bitcoins with a credit card or debit card.
|
||
The entire process can take as little as 10minutes of
|
||
your time.„

|
||
When you have a wallet full of Bitcoins you are able to buy
|
||
products, but there are ways to increase their numbers: The
|
||
Bitcoin Exchange Market (or markets).
|
||
There are many different market places, but we restricted
|
||
ourselves to 5 of them since they, by far, outperform
|
||
their competition in terms of market volume, Mt.Gox
|
||
[2], Bitstamp [3], BTCChina [4], BTC-e [5], Bitcoin [6]. For a
|
||
sample view of Mt.Gox consider (Illustrations 2 and 3).1
|
||

|
||
out there (it’s volume is larger than the next 5 markets combined).

Top Bitcoin debit cards
|
||
Assuming you made some „serious dough“ by leveraging
|
||
stock market techniques (or the Bitcoin robot) you may
|
||
want to exchange it to some other currency, or to cash it out
|
||
via debit card on-the-fly.
|
||
At the moment of writing there are not too many
|
||
possibilities for debit cards around. The first one we found,
|
||
BitcoinCard [1] is actually a debit card based on normal
|
||
currencies, such as Euro (€). The benefit this card has
|
||
though is that it can be funded via Bitcoins. Which turns it
|
||
to a Bitcoin card! Hence quoth the internet:
|
||
„Prepaid credit cards are not new. However, a prepaid
|
||
credit card that can be funded with bitcoins is. The
|
||
BitcoinCard is a credit card that can be funded via
|
||
BTC.“
|
||
What say the people behind BitcoinCard?
|
||
“The card works as a normal prepaid credit card. The
|
||
difference is users can buy it with bitcoins, and fund it
|
||
with bitcoins.”
|
||
The second card is a true Bitcoin debit card, according to
|
||
the guys from Coindesk [2]:
|
||
|
||
Get Your Automated Bitcoin Trading Robot at www.btcrobot.com
|
||
„A new way to pay by bitcoin is on the horizon, a
|
||
bitcoin debit card called iBTCard. That name stands
|
||
for International Bitcoin Transfer Card. The company
|
||
behind the project, Tradecoinz LLC, is hoping to
|
||
provide an alternative payment method to VISA
|
||
and MasterCard, but in a way that most people can
|
||
recognise and understand.“
|
||
This sounds very promising indeed.

||
How Can You Profit with Bitcoin?
|
||
Just a few years ago, the only way to profit was through so-called
|
||
“Mining”.
|
||
This is the “Hard Way”, for which you receive coins by helping the
|
||
system to verify secure transactions. This process requires a lot of
|
||
computational power, typically multi-core CPU system or specialized
|
||
Bitcoin miners. The algorithm is designed in such a way that mining
|
||
becomes more and more complex and less and less profitable with time.
|
||
Mining days are over!
|
||
The time has changed and we are the ONLY solution available to
|
||
increase your Bitcoins!
|
||
THE Inflation FREE currency!
|
||
Bitcoins are limited in amount... you can NOT produce them out of
|
||
thin air nor reprint them, thereby making them safe from inflation!
|
||
100% Secure! NON-CLOSABLE!
|
||
Bitcoins are unhackable lines of code that you can even stash on
|
||
your cellphone in an E-wallet or download to a USB stick and keep
|
||
them SAFE! Pay using them, store them, collect ‘em... the option is
|
||
yours!
|
||
To make it even better, Bitcoin is decentralized. No one owns it...
|
||
it’s like the Internet... you can shut down a machine but you can`t
|
||
kill it. It’s a living and expanding entity on its own.
|
||
So, no matter how hard a government might try to put it down...
|
||
they cannot succeed!
|
||
The bottom line to EARN them, however, is that...
|
||
|
||
Forex is DEAD!
|
||
Automated Bitcoin
|
||
Trading is the ANSWER!
|
||
Imagine if you had a fully automated Bitcoin trading robot, working for you on
|
||
autopilot around the clock?
|
||
Trading Around The Clock??? Even on weekends??
|
||
Forget Forex limitations such as not trading on weekends, Bank Holidays and
|
||
other big bank B.S.
|
||
Bitcoin is traded around the clock, 24/7, 365 days a year.
|
||
There are no banks controlling it, meaning we don’t have any bank limitations
|
||
on the trading time, thereby giving you a unique opportunity to profit around
|
||
the clock, two extra days a week!
|
||
The robot does not sleep, does not take holidays or stop on weekends. It is an
|
||
everlasting profit machine at your fingertips!

||
What’s Behind
|
||
the Bitcoin Robot Trading Engine?
|
||
When it comes down to technology and IT
|
||
developments, hats off, nothing comes close to
|
||
Russian brains!
|
||
We united our efforts with a team of the brightest
|
||
Bitcoin traders and programmers from Russia.
|
||
Don’t get me wrong though. It’s hard to be a
|
||
pioneer in the field. It’s even harder to develop the
|
||
first fully automated system in the new market.
|
||
Yes, it was not easy. Over 2 years in development,
|
||
plenty of trial and error.
|
||
We really wanted to perfect it. Over 127,199 lines
|
||
of code. Sleepless nights and betatests in private
|
||
groups.
|
||
|
||
FAQ:
|
||
1. If the robot wins money, who loses it? Does the Bitcoin
|
||
exchange lose money if I win and eventually ban my trading?
|
||
Good question. No, the Bitcoin exchange market does not lose any
|
||
money due to your profitable trading. In fact, it is gaining a lot of
|
||
money because they charge 0.4% commission on every trade. For
|
||
example, yesterday their exchange volume was $512,213 , which
|
||
means +4000 BTC commission made. The losers are other human
|
||
traders that do not use automated trading approaches and trade
|
||
manually or just pay too much when buying Bitcoin!
|
||
It’s harsh but money is not produced from thin air. It comes from
|
||
losers that don’t have advanced tools like our Bitcoin robot and
|
||
keep trying their luck with old outdated manual systems.
|
||
2. How much money do I need to start? Thousands of dollars??
|
||
No, you can start as low as $100. This is the main advantage of
|
||
Bitcoin trading, the entry limit is very low.
|
||
3. Is it risky? Can I lose the deposit?
|
||
You are trading only on your own money without taking huge
|
||
leverage from the brokers like in Forex, meaning the risk of losing
|
||
all your money is small to non-existent.
|
||
4. Will it provide 100% winning trades?
|
||
100% winning systems are impossible, so don’t be fooled by so
|
||
called “Get Rich scams” promising that.
|
||
|
||
Obviously, our robot is not a crystal ball and you will have some
|
||
losing as well as winning trades. The goal is to make a solid net
|
||
profit monthly.
|
||
4. Do I have to keep my computer ON all the time or buy a VPS
|
||
server like with forex?
|
||
You can choose between two options. The most affordable Silver
|
||
plan comes with Windows based software which trades from your
|
||
own computer. Similar to you trading Forex on Metatrader4 on your
|
||
computer. So it must be on at all times during trading.
|
||
If you choose the Gold Plan, the robot comes fully preinstalled
|
||
in your web browser based members area! Nothing to setup or
|
||
configure. It’s completely human error-free & 100% autopilot.
|
||
5. What if my internet connection gets interrupted during
|
||
trading?
|
||
No problem. The robot will resume trading from the point it left and
|
||
catch up on the trades.
|
||
However, if you experience constant internet connection issues in
|
||
your area, it’s safer and more profitable to use the Gold plan where
|
||
the robot is pre-installed on our trading VPS for you!
|
||
5. What if many people trade it, will it become less effective?
|
||
No. The beauty of Bitcoin trading robot algorithm is that it uses a
|
||
special trade stealth technology which allows to separate different
|
||
traders and avoid all of them taking the same trade at the same time
|
||
overloading the market liquidity.
|
||
This way robot stays effective even if many people trade it
|
||
independently.
|
||
|
||
6. Is it better than Forex?
|
||
Yes. Less risky. More profit. No broker spreads or ridiculous
|
||
commissions. No bank regulations and fees.
|
||
You get all the profit. You trade 24/7 not 24/5. No bank holidays. You
|
||
get profit around the clock. No need to install Metatraders and other
|
||
complicated software. No need to sit and watch charts. No need to
|
||
buy expensive VPS servers or keep your computer online.
|
||
7. Do you trade it yourself? If it is so good, why would you sell
|
||
it?
|
||
Yes, we do trade it and you saw the live trading proof. Why do we
|
||
sell it? We could probably write something hypocritical here, that we
|
||
want to make everyone rich and happy, but I will be honest with you.
|
||
We are just greedy. If you have an opportunity to make more money,
|
||
will you pass it by? The amount of traders using the robot does not
|
||
affect its effectiveness, so we thought, why not release it to a limited
|
||
amount of pioneers who, like us, can take advantage of a growing
|
||
opportunity.
|
||
It’s like when people invented the plane; nobody drives such long
|
||
distances in a car anymore! Same here. Why bother with manual
|
||
trading, spending the whole of your life glued to the PC when you
|
||
can use this new technology of automated Bitcoin trading!
