Company News

So far the main topic of 2017 is the cryptocurrency hype. Rates of Bitcoin and Ethereum have surged several times and the newbie miners started to buy video cards used to mine cryptocurrencies. CEO of Grand Capital Giancarlo Spinnato gave an interview to Finance Magnates on the "hot" topic, shared his thoughts on why cryptocurrencies became so popular and estimated their potential.

Bitcoin has been rising since the moment it was created. In the 9-year history of its existence, it has gone up from $0,003 per 1000 BTC to $2700 per 1 BTC. And here comes the question: what are the grounds for such strong dynamics? Is there a limit to its growth? Will it bounce back at some point?

Let’s begin with the fact that Bitcoin initially was created as an alternative to the regulated currencies and it quite naturally found its use in certain niches.

For example, let’s look at the big and wealthy China, the country of huge amounts of money, developing businesses and, at the same time, strong government control over financial transactions. How is the shadow economy supposed to survive? How to avoid paying taxes? In China, cryptocurrencies are successfully used for this kind of purposes.

As a matter of fact, we develop Bitcoin integration solutions for Chinese Forex brokers. Now there are around 3 000 brokers in China that provide Forex and Binary Options trading services. Nevertheless, Forex is not completely legal in China and for that reason, many brokers may take an interest in Bitcoin transactions.

As per the Bitcoin rate surge, there is an opinion that Bitcoin develops following the pyramid pattern, which means that it will continue rising as long as it is convenient for everyone, but sooner or later it will start bouncing back, as the currency is not backed by anything. As a result, the investors will turn to other cryptocurrencies, for example, Ethereum.

Ethereum is also gaining popularity. Will it be able to catch up with Bitcoin?

Judging by the dynamics, it can happen in the near future. Ethereum is 7 years younger than Bitcoin — it only appeared in 2015, but for the past several months it has jumped to the second place among other cryptocurrencies in terms of trading volumes. To a large extent, it has to do with the fact that the Ethereum has considered and corrected the main drawbacks Bitcoin is criticized for. For instance, Ethereum offers shorter transaction times.

Our new interview round-up features two Futures Trade winners and one Drag Trade winner. Our contests gather traders not only from different countries but also with different levels of experience. Rodrigo from Brazil has been trading for only a year and we translated his feedback for you. Yury from Russia has three years of experience and Igor from Belarus got into financial markets for the first time twenty years ago.

Yury Nikolayevich, Russia, the winner of the 51st round of Futures Trade. The prize is no-deposit $1000 bonus

“I operate a drilling machine at a factory and I first started trading three years ago. Now it’s mostly a hobby, but I want to turn it into the main source of my income. It’s great that I can work close to my family and the rate of earnings depends only on myself. The biggest mistakes that I’ve made are rash trading decisions and unwillingness to wait for a favorable time to enter the market. I don’t use a single distinct strategy. I just base my trading on technical and, occasionally, on fundamental analysis. This contest was the first time I tried trading futures. I liked trading with oil and Russel 2000 index. I think I’ve won thanks to my experience and luck. It was hard to compete with skilled traders who also participated in the contest. My advice to the beginners is to find patience, gain experience and don’t stray from the path you’ve set for yourself. Also, it’s important to choose a reliable broker, so you won’t suffer from slippage and problems with withdrawal”

Rodrigo Silva de Sousa, Brazil, the winner of the 52nd round of Futures Trade. The prize is no-deposit $1000 bonus

“I’m 24 and I work in metallurgy industry. I always wanted to try my hand at trading, but I didn’t have enough money for decent investments. That’s why I’ve been trading for only a year. Forex companies offer high leverage to their clients. It makes it possible to earn a decent income even with a small initial investment. I didn’t have problems with learning how to trade, as there’s plenty of useful info available online. Controlling your emotions is the key. I don’t use news for trading, my method is based on the asset’s price. When the market volatility increases because of the news, I’m already making profit from a trade. The moment of greatest joy for me was in the last August when I opened trades with GBP/CAD and EUR/GBP and suddenly the market moved by almost 10000 points in less than one minute. It was a fantastic day! Among the CFD I prefer to trade silver. Futures Trade is a good contest to test your abilities. I wanted to see what I was capable of in the competition with other traders. Luck, patience, and technique are the three ingredients of success. I encourage all traders to soldier on even if something goes wrong. Even if you fail it doesn’t mean that you’re a bad trader and need to urgently change your strategy. Analyze your mistakes and arm yourself with patience. Everything can change in one hour!”

Igar Dubodelov, Belarus, the winner of the 369th round of Drag Trade. The prize is withdrawable $200

“I first got involved with trading back in 1996. But it was superficial, I learned a little, tried demo accounts and contests. But it’s not until six years after that I got back to it. I started learning trading more diligently and earned my initial capital in contests. Now I’m more of an amateur trader, the main job is still there, last I checked. There used to be very few learning resources, but now there’s more than enough of it to study trading by yourself. The key part is having your own method and keeping a cool head. Forex is work, not gambling. I mostly trade with the main currency pairs. My strategy is based on the levels of support and resistance and candlestick patterns. Generally, I trade with pending orders, but I still can’t discipline myself to make stops, although I try it from time to time. I only open accounts with brokers that have been on the market for at least 4-5 years, demo accounts and contests are also a requirement for me. Only then I examine order execution, client support service, and withdrawal. I’ve been participating in Grand Capital contests for four years now. And finally, I took the first place! There were times when I was in the top ten, or when I was on the second place, but I hadn’t won the prize until now. I’m especially excited to have won in a speed-run contest with a real prize. Let me repeat myself: the formula for success in trading on financial markets is to obey the rules, observe discipline and follow your plan.”
