# It's monthly Index time again! 😃 

The event that the entire crypto world eagerly awaits on a monthly basis is finally upon us!

For those newer Bit Brain readers; I publish a monthly (well, *roughly* monthly!) index of my posts from the 30 days or so. It gives you an idea of what I wrote, let's you visit any gems which you may have missed and best of all: has a series of links that should make it easy enough to go back in time to find *any* of my posts! ALL THAT FOR FREE! What more could you ask for? 😉

Let's start with the older (but no less valuable) stuff:

Index Part 1 can be found [here](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/index-to-crypto-with-bit-brain). There is a lot of valuable information in it, like my series on understanding crypto vs fiat money and the battle between them, or the post where how I explained the importance of being realistic and how you aren't realistic, even though you may think you are.

Part 2 can be found [here](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/index-to-crypto-with-bit-brain-part-2). Part 2 features highlights such as me telling you exactly which coins to buy, a lot of trying to guess what the market would do next, a picture of a bird, a poem, the worldwide début of my idea for an optimal system of government - the Blockchain based Electronic Direct Democracy (BEDD) and why Buffett has a distorted and incorrect view of crypto.

Part 3 can be found [here](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/index-to-crypto-with-bit-brain-part-3).  This part contains a great "Best Of" post that links to all my greatest (older) posts, it describes the best  types of cryptos to buy, I list ALL the coins I hold (over three posts - it's along list!), discuss people who shill their coins, *finally* carried on with the next part of my "Diversify" series, *finally* did my promised post about KuCoin exchange (the best exchange there is), spoke quite a bit about BTC dominance, covered the difficulties with mining in a bear market and of course many other topics.

By way of apology for the very boring picture featured in the last "Index" post, here is a *beautiful* picture of a Grumman F-14 Tomcat. I consider them to be the most beautiful things that have ever flown the skies of Planet Earth. Yes; those are the aircraft you saw in "*Top Gun*".

# Index to crypto with Bit Brain - Edition IV - 2018

## In no particular order I present to you: 

[Bottom of the TOP 40](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/bottom-of-the-top-40)
* The coins I think don't belong in the top 40 market cap positions and will drop out of it.

[MCT - Sell, Buy or Hold?](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/mct-sell-buy-or-hold)
* If you held NEP-5 tokens in a wallet (at the right time) then you would have been dropped some MCT. What should you do with it?

[HOW MUCH to INVEST in a CRYPTO](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-much-to-invest-in-a-crypto)
* A stroke of Bit Brainian genius - I describe to you the very best system to use to decide how much to buy/hold of each of your cryptos.

[I NEED MONEY! Which crypto is best to sell?](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/i-need-money-which-crypto-is-best-to-sell)
* I told you how to buy, now I've told you how to sell too.

[SUPERCHARGE your Bitcoin!](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/supercharge-your-bitcoin)
* The relationship between altcoins and BTC. Under what circumstances which of them do better.

[Regulation is GOOD for decentralisation?](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/regulation-is-good-for-decentralisation)
* \*Spoiler alert!\*: Regulation is BAD for crypto! This post tells you why. Remember: "Rich" does not equate to "good".

[Bitcoin Technical Analysis - Major Indicators](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/bitcoin-technical-analysis-major-indicators)
* Ah this post is so *brilliant*! I *thoroughly* enjoyed writing it! 😄It's a little bit evil. 😈 Read it! *Read it now!*

[Crypto Experts](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/crypto-experts) 
* I debunk the fallacy of the existence of "crypto experts" and tell you why these so called "experts" are full of 💩

[BUY recommendation : NEO](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/buy-recommendation-neo)
* What it says on the box. I suggest that you buy NEO because it's a *very* good time to do so. I really do...

[Crypto shopping cart - 24 June - I pulled the trigger](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/crypto-shopping-cart-24-june-i-pulled-the-trigger)
* Right after suggesting a NEO buy, I went and bought some (more) myself. And a few other odds and ends with the change.

[THE BEAR IS OVER - At least for now](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/the-bear-is-over-at-least-for-now)
* I called the end of the bear market. Looks like I got it spot on. I'm still following the predications I made in this 26 day old post to see what the market is going to do next.

[The insanity of bearish expectations](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/the-insanity-of-bearish-expectations)
* I explain why it's silly to expect the bear market to return/persist/etc.

[While you were sleeping...](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/while-you-were-sleeping)
* *Another* post about *another* NEO airdrop. This time it was NNC. I explain the potentially confusing relationship between NNC, NNS and NEL.

[A Troubled Relationship: CRYPTO DIVORCES DOW!](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/a-troubled-relationship-crypto-divorces-dow)
* A look at a relationship between crypto and stock markets that is now breaking down.

[Bursting at the seams](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/bursting-at-the-seams)
* I look at signs that show that the crypto market is more than ready to *Moon*!  🌒

[If I get 100 upvotes for this I'll make a karaoke version!](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrencies/@bitbrain/if-i-get-100-upvotes-for-this-i-ll-make-a-karaoke-version)
* I wrote a song about crypto - based on Nirvana's "*Smells Like Teen Spirit*". I promised to sing and record it if the post got 100 upvotes within a week. It didn't. It got 41. So I won't record it. Yet...

### I don't normally index my resteems but:
A few of my resteems this month are rather important to the Steem and crypto communities as a whole - so here they are:

[Seeking Beta - All are Welcome!](https://steemit.com/money/@timm/seeking-beta-all-are-welcome) is a post by @timm about joining TIMM (Traders and Investors Mentor Market); a website with a Steem interface that is designed specifically for traders and investors. (All types welcome, not just crypto.) What have you got to lose?

[July 1: Minnow Uprising Kicks Off](https://steemit.com/steem/@taskmaster4450/july-1-minnow-uprising-kicks-off) A post by @taskmaster4450 about the Minnow Uprising initiative for minnows to support each other and fight back against the Steem whales who greedily hog the platform. Thanks to @newageinv for reposting the link (so that I saw it) and for always supporting the minnow uprising. **Please support it too - July is Minnow Uprising month!**

[Byteball Airdrop to Steemit users 🤑 Pretty nice, I got $40 worth](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@pandorasbox/byteball-airdrop-to-steemians-pretty-nice-i-got-usd40-worth) Fellow Steemian and crypto blogger @pandorasbox describes to Steemit users how they can (probably) claim free Byteball tokens! I claimed mine.

### Back to my posts:

[Which cryptos are blasting off?](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/which-cryptos-are-blasting-off)
* A look at a metric I use to determine which cryptos *may* perform well in upcoming bull runs.

[What is your STEEM doing for you?](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/what-is-your-steem-doing-for-you)
* I investigated how people use their STEEM - with surprising findings. I then suggest how you should use yours.

[How to get rich with crypto - my strategic plan](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-to-get-rich-with-crypto-my-strategic-plan)
* I reveal my secret plan to get rich with cryptos. Oops, I guess it's not secret any more. 

[Crypto Snippets](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrencies/@bitbrain/crypto-snippets)
* News highlights from a quiet day.

[Crypto Snippets 2018 07 08 ⇐ (For Americans: this is how dates are supposed to be written!)](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/crypto-snippets-2018-07-08-for-americans-this-is-how-dates-are-supposed-to-be-written)
* More of the same (with a catchier title 😜)

[Investing in Crypto is too close to gambling!](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/investing-in-crypto-is-too-close-to-gambling)
* I posted my "end of 2018" guess of Bitcoin's price - in the form of a competition. Entries are now closed, but you could always submit a late entry just for fun! Sadly you will not be eligible for the ***ULTIMATE PRIZE IN CRYPTO***: being featured in a "Smarter than Bit Brain" post!

[🛑 HOW TO DRAW ATTENTION to your blog posts for free! 🛑](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-to-draw-attention-to-your-blog-posts-for-free)
* I tell you how to get attention for your posts (not only for crypto ones).

[STELLAR LUMENS : I'm in two minds](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/stellar-lumans-i-m-in-two-minds)
* I'm still really proud of this post; it was *exceedingly* challenging to get it to look anything like I intended! It took quite a bit longer than my normal 3-5 hours of research, formatting, typing and editing.

[Did you follow my KuCoin "buy" recommendations?](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/did-you-follow-my-kucoin-buy-recommendations)
* KuCoin changed its reward system and the price of KuCoin Shares did very well after that.

### Every so often I do a series:

[I bought it; should you? : Arbitrage Crypto Trader - Part 1](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/i-bought-it-should-you-arbitrage-crypto-trader-part-1) 
* I talk about buying ultra-low market cap coins, specifically ARCT. This post is about why and how to buy ultra-low market cap coins in general.

[I bought it; should you? : Arbitrage Crypto Trader - Part 2](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/i-bought-it-should-you-arbitrage-crypto-trader-part-2) 
* This post is specifically about ARCT. I look it it as a possible buy based on the previous post, and we see if it looks like a bad or a good buy. It's rather surprising...

[I bought it; should you? : Arbitrage Crypto Trader - Part 3](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/i-bought-it-should-you-arbitrage-crypto-trader-part-3) 
* Only about a day after post two in the series, I surprised myself by having to write an unexpected part three. People had been buying ARCT and that changed a few things and prompted a few reminders. The people who bought had made avoidable mistakes.

<center>![Coin line mini.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmemKc65ki6LjiCkrSdcwJPxwJfLxx6rnererZkWzPhNVK/Coin%20line%20mini.png)</center>

[🔥🔥 THIS IS FINE! 🔥🔥](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/this-is-fine) 
* Why you should be positive about the future of crypto (from more than one perspective).

[This is a good sign for crypto😇](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/this-is-a-good-sign-for-crypto) 
* I identified something on the charts which I believed would cause a change in market behaviour and a rise in prices. It did.

[I've been waiting to get this many followers just so that I can post this...](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/i-ve-been-waiting-to-get-this-many-followers-just-so-that-i-can-post-this) 
* I got my 300th follower and wrote a little post about it.

[Give the bots a chance (Follow-up post)](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/give-the-bots-a-chance-follow-up-post) 
* I continue with my experimental use of an upvote bot. This is a report back on what I have found so far.

[Analysis of centralised crypto news](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/analysis-of-centralised-crypto-news)
* What the title says

[🔇⏫🔈⏫🔉⏫🔊TURN UP THE VOLUME!](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/turn-up-the-volume)
* Another look at recent changes in market behaviour - and why a price rise is on the cards. This looks at the oft overlooked "volume".

[Crypto Mergers – planning for the future](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/crypto-mergers-planning-for-the-future)
* I dust off my crystal ball and look at something which has yet to occur: crypto mergers

[💉 There will be blood...](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/there-will-be-blood)
* I really love that post picture! (Probably not good for the very squeamish.) I warn about what the rise of BTC price may mean for alts, and suggest you avoid this situation.

And that brings Index IV to a close! Don't forget to bookmark it so that you can find all your favourite Bit Brain posts later and share them with everyone you know! 😀

Hope this helps you to navigate through my masses of otherwise bewildering information. I use my own Index posts daily; how else do you think I find all the links I use in my posts?


Yours in crypto,
Bit Brain
