## My recent hiatus has caused this post to run late in terms of time, but in terms of post count it's spot on.
Please enjoy this most recent "monthly" index of my crypto posts.
For those newer Bit Brain readers; I publish a monthly index of my posts from the past 30 days or so. It gives you an idea of what I wrote, lets 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? π
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 dΓ©but 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.
Part 4 can be found [here](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/index-to-crypto-with-bit-brain-edition-iv-2018). More great gems like how much to invest in each coin, how altcoins behave as BTC superchargers, my take on crypto regulations, brilliant posts that debunk mass produced TA as well as so-called crypto "experts", some good NEO information, a song, some really good resteems, a post about how to get attention drawn to your own posts, I tell you how to use your STEEM/SBD etc, I wrote the most technically challenging post I have written so far: a two sided take on Stellar Lumens, a brilliant series about buying ultra-low market cap coins, an update on my long-term bot experiment and many solid predictions (and some not-so-solid ones too).

# <center>Index to crypto with Bit Brain - Edition V - 2018</center>
[BTC long-term pattern analysis](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/btc-long-term-pattern-analysis)
* BTC price predictions and overlays. Rather similar to my post of yesterday. Which was:
* [NEO MOON LAMBO?](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/neo-moon-lambo)
<center></center>
As usual there was a series. This was a very good series. It's all about gaming coins; an often overlooked but *very* rapidly growing sector with a *lot* of money in it!
[How to: Win the game of cryptocurrencies - Part 1](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-to-win-the-game-of-cryptocurrencies-part-1)
* The history of gaming and how games have been purchased, mostly written from a personal perspective.
[How to: Win the game of cryptocurrencies - Part 2](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-to-win-the-game-of-cryptocurrencies-part-2)
* Gaming economics. Mind-blowing facts and figures.
[How to: Win the game of cryptocurrencies - Part 3](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-to-win-the-game-of-cryptocurrencies-part-3)
* Types of gaming cryptos and how they will work. Also includes my recommendations.
<center></center>
[Poem 2 (cryptocurrencies)](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/poem-2-cryptocurrencies)
* My second poem about crypto. It probably won't win any awards, but it's better than the crypto poem that you *didn't* write!
[Bitcoin trendline analysis π latest update](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/bitcoin-trendline-analysis-latest-update)
* The latest in basic BTC trendline TA.
[BTC medium-term analysis π latest update](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/btc-medium-term-analysis-latest-update)
* A shorter-term look than the previous post. Features a photography section that used the (appropriate) Blood Moon as a subject.
* I called the top of the bull run at the time. I nailed it.
[Cryptocurrency Spotlight - LOCIcoin](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/cryptocurrency-spotlight-locicoin)
* Another detailed "Spotlight" post. This one is about LOCIcoin, the crypto for patenting and Intellectual Property. It's available at a criminally low price.
[Have an EPIPHANY! (Claim a FREE NEP-5 token airdrop!)](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/have-an-epiphany-claim-a-free-nep-5-token-airdrop)
* Not the greatest airdrop ever, and you have to work for it a bit, but a free airdrop nonetheless. Be nice, sign up using my referral link: https://www.epnex.io/sign.html?i=00ffJMT&lan=1
[Cryptos to buy in bad times: A spark β‘in the dark](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/cryptos-to-buy-in-bad-times-a-spark-in-the-dark)
* Another useful Bit Brain crypto technique: Sparkline Analysis done within seconds on CMC.
<center></center>
Another series - my longest one to date (in terms of number of posts). A bit longer (and truth be told, a bit more boring) than what I had intended, but something I wanted to do for a long time. Read the gaming series instead, it's *great*!
[How well do you know: CoinMarketCap? (A detailed Bit Brain guide)](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-well-do-you-know-coinmarketcap-a-detailed-bit-brain-guide)
[How well do you know: CoinMarketCap? (A detailed Bit Brain guide) Part 2](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-well-do-you-know-coinmarketcap-a-detailed-bit-brain-guide-part-2)
[How well do you know: CoinMarketCap? (A detailed Bit Brain guide) Part 3](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-well-do-you-know-coinmarketcap-a-detailed-bit-brain-guide-part-3)
[How well do you know: CoinMarketCap? (A detailed Bit Brain guide) Part 4](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-well-do-you-know-coinmarketcap-a-detailed-bit-brain-guide-part-4)
[How well do you know: CoinMarketCap? (A detailed Bit Brain guide) Part 5](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/how-well-do-you-know-coinmarketcap-a-detailed-bit-brain-guide-part-5)
<center></center>
[A Bit of crypto news](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/a-bit-of-crypto-news)
* News that was too important to sit on. It interrupted my CMC series. It features two of my favourite low market cap cryptos: LOCI and CargoX (among other things).
* This was also the first day of my strange and very persistent arm injury. That injury endured for a long time, and only really went away now during my recent break. I now believe it to have been caused by a combination of chaffing and bruising from the seams of my thick clothing (it's been cold in Bitland lately) and my mouse-pad. Yep, it looks like hours of blogging every night can cause real physical injuries! Who knew? Next time I'll try for carpal tunnel.
[Bitcoin / Crypto medium term analysis - Past, Present & Future](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/bitcoin-crypto-medium-term-analysis-past-present-and-future)
* I made a lot of predictions during this period, didn't I? This was a good post, published to reassure a panicky market (reacting to the dip I had already predicted - if people only trusted me more...) There are good predictions in this post, believe me. All ow me to share this pearl of wisdom from this post:
>Try to stay ahead of the market, instead of running to catch up.
In other words: keep following Bit Brain π
[TA of my favourite low market cap crypto: CargoX π](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/ta-of-my-favourite-low-market-cap-crypto-cargox)
* I love CargoX, I really do. I consider it to be the best deal in the crypto world. This post tells you why. Since I wrote this 24 days ago it has risen about 30% vs BTC.
[Crypto Token Economics Q&A - CargoX](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/crypto-token-economics-q-and-a-cargox)
* The previous CargoX TA post caused a debate about token economics of CXO. I presented my argument in full in this post. It's very valuable information for prospective investors. (If you aren't one, then you are missing out. Don't make me say "I told you so.")
[Bit Brainstorm - your inputs required](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/bit-brainstorm-your-inputs-required)
* I am considering a standardised daily post, but a good one, not the normal thing you see others do (not that they are necessarily bad).
* I continue to refine and design this idea on a daily basis (mostly mentally). I hope to start publishing this way soon.
* If you have any more inputs for me then please comment on this post, all inputs are most welcome.
[BTC price movement - Short-term](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/btc-price-movement-short-term)
* Another prediction. What happened in reality was more or less a hybrid of my two prediction scenarios. BTC dipped to the level I predicted, then recovered quickly and ran sideways for several days.
[The Turkey that lays the Bitcoin eggs](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/the-turkey-that-lays-the-bitcoin-eggs)
* I like this one's title, it amuses me for some reason.
* I spoke about BTC and how it is becoming useful, pausing sufficiently long to berate those who are still stubbornly bearish.
* It also features this great little picture of mine, published for the second time (the first one being in the CargoX TA post). Note how my picture is becoming increasingly relevant and true as the ridiculous ETF mania starts to subside.
<center></center>
[π° BTC is KING! π€΄](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/btc-is-king)
* I came to a conclusion about how to do crypto macro analysis, after having studied the issue for a long time.
[BTC long-term pattern repetition](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/btc-long-term-pattern-repetition)
* Patterns and BTC, two things I love mixed together in the form of yet another prediction. It's doing very well so far.
<center></center>
[Good as Gold π°π](https://steemit.com/life/@bitbrain/good-as-gold)
* One of the saddest and most painful things I have ever been forced to endure: the death of my precious golden retriever.
* This marked the start of my two week disappearance from the STEEM blockchain.
[A quick hello](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/a-quick-hello)
* I popped in to say "Hi" before taking the Mrs away to clear our heads.
* I confirmed that my market predictions were still on track.
And that's it folks! Until next month, bookmark this post and you'll always have links to the entire Bit Brain library of published posts!
Yours in crypto,
Bit Brain
