Basically, some of the public data being shared on that platform can be misleading. It usually initiates FUD and FOMO to investors which influence their investment decisions. Some of them were forced to invest in a project that has an undefined use case, thinking it will result in a high-yield. Besides that, few of the accounts have a verified badge, but can be a complete scam which means any person and information could be unreliable.

Personally, the forum is better than any platform to learn and understand cryptocurrency. As it consists of different details concerning cryptocurrency, like guidelines with investment and personal insights. It eases any biased opinion within a particular matter; therefore, you can conduct good research of the project you wanted to evaluate. Nevertheless, we can discuss the idea of the forum simply with people we usually interact with, like family and friends interested in cryptocurrency. It can possibly make good progress, even bit by bit.

Tbh, we can only tell if what you did can be considered as a mistake or not once we get there but I do believe that we will also get altcoin season soon so I have hopes too. As long as you are fine investing the remaining funds you have in Ethereum, I think that's already good and should not consider what you did as a mistake already. Also, Ethereum is slowly increasing now so you can just hold it and wait for the right time.

You already said that we never know what could be the price of bitcoin in the next 10 years so it would be hard to encourage other people around us to invest in bitcoin. We can't just tell them that the 1 Satoshi may be worth 1 dollar in the future because it might not happen as well. Bitcoin is a good investment but I would only suggest it to people who are interested, willing to learn about it, and patient.

As a new project emerges, they join the forum with a newbie account. Thus, they choose to purchase the copper membership that allows them to post any relevant details, like a picture related to their project. In such a way, they can effectively present their ideas and objectives to the investors. But remember, it does not mean that the project is reliable. Hence, you still need to conduct an inquiry to validate its reputation.

They are not required to join the forum to promote their project as there are alternative methods. However, it is way better to propose it here because there is a specific section in the forum where they can freely discuss their project. Besides that, they can gain some criticisms and remarks that may help the development of their project.

Maybe these institutions just needed time to realize the value of Bitcoin unlike in 2017 when they still probably have a lot of doubts about it. But with the time that passes, bitcoin gets more support and we have seen more of them investing in bitcoin this year because it already has more recognition compared to the previous hype back then. And it's good since if there are giant companies adopting bitcoin, others will follow so we will get to see more in the coming years.

Who would not be happy to see that bitcoin is doing great in the market and we keep seeing ATH? I'm happy and excited to see the current market situation because I never really thought that we would reach over $25k before the year ends, but I also somehow feel sad that I don't have much bitcoin with me. But regardless of that, I hope we continue seeing more ATH to come.

Might as well include receipts where did you get that idea that the covid is a fud, and how can you say that things will be fine on the 2nd of March, for us to believe you. It already shows that this pandemic does not entirely affect the crypto market, but has a big effect on economics. And AFAIK, a new strain of the virus was found in the UK, being more contagious that brings more threat to us. If this new strain continues spreading in other countries as well, another lockdown might happen so I don't know how can you say that just by the first quarter of the coming year, it will already be fine.

What an unfortunate incident, hopefully, they will be able to recover the funds and damages with their system. Regardless, it is inadvisable to store the funds in exchange as it is a third-party wallet, which means they are in control of your funds. Aside from being prone to hacks, they can elicit an exit scam.

It could be the potential reason, but as of now, it is difficult to make any statement as many exchanges have experienced a comparable circumstance. You can communicate with them via telegram, thereby, you can see any update about the exchange.

That's the advantage of bitcoin and for me, we find happiness when we are contented with what bitcoin can offer us. We can say that bitcoin indeed can bring us happiness and satisfaction because we were able to use it in various mean that benefit us. We would not be here believing in bitcoin's capability if we're not happy. However, there are also disadvantages so it's not only pure happiness but I'm really glad I get to know bitcoin because it helped me in different ways.

They have their similarities like what you have mentioned but for me, they are somehow on a different level so I don't consider them as something really similar. They both have risk and you either win or lose when you trade or gamble but I guess I can say that we can assume that trading is like gambling but gambling is not like trading. Trading is like gambling because you are risking your money for the aim to earn profit but gambling is not trading because it does not require market analysis and such.

It is an innovative idea that may help the development of the business. By implementing it, the customers can purchase a service easily and quickly. Besides that, the customers will have an option of a mode of payment based on their preferences. It is an advantage for the buyer because it minimizes the cost as they don’t necessarily need roaming around to purchase it. Regardless, it is a good start, and I hope the successful result for your business.

If this is the case, it's unfair and a loss for op. He could keep emailing them about that it was not stated in their TOS as his defense because he has the rights over his winnings, but I think the site is hard to contact because they rarely reply to his emails.

But for the op, I'm just wondering why would he still choose to play on that site if it is restricted and still have to use VPN. I mean, there's a lot of other gambling sites he can choose tho, but I really hope that his problem will be fixed since it's been a while already.

We should always consider the site first before betting because we will be giving our funds there. And you're right that we should avoid prediction betting platform that we lack trust in or we are not that sure since it's better to ensure the safety of our funds when we bet on longer betting events like the presidential election.

I also feel the same that sports betting is much more fun and exciting than predictions. Only big events get a lot of interest when it comes to prediction betting.

Bounty hunters should be rewarded for their determination to accomplish the different tasks to promote the project. Thus, they are deserving to get a decent salary for their diligence. However, some of the team of those projects neglected their responsibilities to the bounty manager and hunter. Hence, even bounty managers complain and reported it as a scam to raise awareness to the interested investors.
For an instance:

[1] Hitmex Exchange {Scam} The owner is a fraud

Also, even if they were able to raise an amount that is capable to support their project, but it contradicts their plan to scam, they still won’t pay them.

Sa ngayon ay mahirap masabi kung darating sa point na yan though alam naman natin na pwede paring mangyari yan. Pero kung titignan sa performance nya ngayon sa market, mukhang malabong bumagsak sya ng ganyan kababa or matagal pa (kung sakaling mangyayari man yang sinasabi mo).  Kaya kung darating tayo sa ganitong sitwasyon ay siguro naman mayroon na tayong sapat na extra funds para makapag invest pa ng mas malaki.

Well, I don't consider this as a con of the platform because I think it's more appropriate to say that that's the nature of what you bet on. Betting on election takes a little longer compared to sports betting since it's a more serious matter so it's kinda understandable why sites tend to lock up your funds for a longer time. So if it makes you more nervous, you can avoid betting on this kind of stuff or ensure the legitimacy of the site.

Both have a point if it might encourage gamblers to gamble more or not if gambling sites would offer such things. But it depends on the gamblers If they will let themselves be tempted with the insurance or not.

The service seems good but gambling is a risk and it's our individual choices and free will to gamble, so gambling sites are not obliged to give us insurance services for our possible losses.

For me, it becomes more complex because that's part of innovation. During the old days, when the technology is just starting, it's also complicated for other people but they eventually learned and adopted it so I think it's kinda similar. For now, not everyone is ready for bitcoin adoption due to several circumstances but I believe it only needs time for people to adopt because if people are interested, they will learn.

Bitcoin will surely gain more attention now that it's doing good in the market and that more companies are adopting it. But I always doubt that bitcoin will dominate and replace traditional currency because the first thing we should look at is the government. They won't let a decentralized currency to dominate their country and replace their own currency. Rather than replacing traditional currency, bitcoin is an alternative and they will co-exist together.

Bitcoin is a gem, and it already shows. It can give us convenience but not everyone is ready for it yet since a lot of people are still relying on paper money. If the government would adopt digital currency, they would start their own but I doubt that every government will accept bitcoin.

People are indeed adapting to technological changes but it is not that easy to do. Other countries may start digital currency but for other countries, it will be hard to follow so it will still take some time.
