I'm shocked about it. It wasn't expected, really strange to see BTC's price keeps falling without limits. Usually when the year is finishing BTC's price tends to rise (and a lot), however we are not seeing this happening now.

Why is there so much fear and uncertainties on the market? It should be a time for recovery after a hard year.
Maybe December can bring good surprises. I hope so, at least a Christmas gift in the end.

Yes, if you have fun when gambling with friends there isn't any waste on it. It's a pleasant activity like any other people do during their spare time. Some people like to go to the movies, nightclubs, malls, while others prefer to gamble (and on each of these activities you will have to spend some money anyway...). The important is to spend money with things you enjoy, even gambling.

What I most fear about Crypto-Currency are the regulations governments can put over it. Heavy regulations can be very harmful for Crypto industry and for all its enthusiasts. It's good to make use of virtual currencies as we do at this moment and it's painful to think it can change without resistance with the stroke of a pen.

It could be true, but BTC price isn't rising for now. So people won't have any reason to keep holding, they will tend to use it as currency, however once BTC's price starts rising again they might tend to hold again... It depends the situation we are living on the currently moment. Sometimes Bitcoin looks more like gold (when it stores value and get more expensive within time), but sometimes it just looks like a virtual currency, as it is on its basic definition (with negative fluctuations and difficult to show strength to grow again).

PlayStore is terrible to download this kind of app. The reviews are completely nonsense and irresponsible: you find a mining or faucet app, then you look the reviews and there are lots of 4-5 stars and when you look what they wrote you see things like: "testing, looks good", "wasn't paid yet, but I will give 5 stars for now"...

There is no way to really know if that app is legit or not. And in some cases they start legit and in the end scam the users and worse, steal their informations, with serious chances of invading cellphone's data. I reached to the conclusion it's better to not download any app on cellphones if you really care and want to preserve it for a long time.


Only people who aren't really interested in BTC and Crypto in general will let a negative app experience affect their confidence about it... Just don't download these stuff and you will be fine, use a browser, use popular legit sites and there won't be issues.

First of all we need to know what Newbie means on this case. Newbie on this forum? Newbie in Crypto world? Newbie in informatics? Newbie in financial market?

If there were a newbie in Crypto-Currency and/or on this forum offering an investment option I could think about it, if this person had some proof of previous successful executed jobs and experiences. With the correct approach even newbies deserve a chance to be heard to expose their ideas and advices.

To understand technically how it works is difficult, and of course, most people don't understand it, as it's very specific of informatic area. But the basic necessary to use the currency is totally possible to be understood, if the person has a legit interest on it. Humor is used to explain facts in a exaggerated way, but sometimes humor is pure exaggeration, the facts stay in second plan... Probably these people who don't understand Bitcoin aren't really interested on it at all.

Speculation doesn't last longer, even if there is big money on it. The solid inventions and improvements remain. So on short term you will see many speculative movements coming and going, but they won't go ahead, while some smart inventions and improvements aiming welfare will appear with less frequence, but once they appear they will really affect the world for the better and then technology keeps advancing, among speculation, brilliant minds and ideas.

Thinking on long term slow growth is much better and sustainable. Fast growth is only interesting for fast profit and speculation, consequently the price falls right after a high peak and then it's time to get the money off and wait for the best moment to invest again. It makes the environment more risky, so inexperienced investors will have more difficult to adapt themselves on Crypto world, probably avoiding this market again in the future.

Unfortunately, at this moment we have none, quick or slow growth... It's completetly stagnant.

No, it's not. Pedophiles and cyber children abuse exist since before Bitcoin was created. It's like criticizing any other payment method or currency because they "help" spreading crimes around the world. If money laundering and other financial crimes are tracked even if the individuals involved on these activities use Bitcoin, people involved with pedophilia using Bitcoin can be found as well and punished (not only the one paying, but who receives the money too).

If it's happening frequently in Philippines, it's time for the authorities to act with intelligence, taking advantage from the technology it's disponible today.

Most people are with Bolsonaro and hope he will be a good president after a long age of shadows and misfortune.

Like Trump, almost the whole mainstream media is against him, the artistic class, the traditional politicians and of course, the organized crime (maybe they could be compared to terrorists in Trump's case). These people speak too loud and it makes they look bigger and more influent than they really are. Actually they are nothing and are demoralized. The population doesn't do what they want anymore.

And although there is officially a difference of 10 millions of votes between Bolsonaro and his rival, plus a large amount of null and abstention votes, there are serious suspicions the electronic electoral system is rigged and the difference of votes at Bolsonaro's favor can be higher! But the authorities wanted to create an environment of "polarization", so the workers party and their socialists/communists can start 2019 stronger to make opposition to the new government.

They will do the possible to disturb Bolsonaro's government, with the help of media, their artists and opportunist politicians.
But there is much to be done, and Bolsonaro can not fail!

Congratulations to Bitcoin, its creator and everyone else who support it. 10 years is a big achievement for Bitcoin, proof that there is a solid purpose behind the currency and a loyal community of enthusiasts which make it work and grow within time. If there weren't so many impositions from regulator parties at this moment, I believe Bitcoin would be much more stronger than we currently see.

You are right, early adopters are the first ones, who believed in Bitcoin when most people didn't know it yet. All the merit and recognition to these people could be expressed by considering them early adopters, they deserve this status and only them. Those who came after and are still coming are just adopters, new Bitcoin enthusiasts. And in 10 years it won't be different, the beginning of something is a special exclusive moment, it can't be compared to fixed periods of time.

It's quite simple. Just don't trust strangers on the internet. No one will give you money for nothing and those promising this kind of thing will take advantage from you somehow, it never finishes well. Also, always check the site you are going to use, especially exchanges. Look for reviews and opinions first.

I think the main problem Bitcoin will face are the abusive regulations. Countries that will impose heavy regulations on BTC, charging high taxes from investors, traders and exchanges. Consequently it will become a snowball of fees making many people complain about the costs. Then there is a risk Crypto-Currencies will become mainstream and lose the decentralized status. I don't know if this situation could be reverted after.

These issues are connected to casinos without doubts. There is prostitution and drugs usage in casinos or near them because the mafias that operate it usually make money from these other activities too. But I believe there are some ethical casino operators that don't follow this modus-operandi and proportionate a decent environment to their customers, especially those casinos which have as main customers old ladies and gentlemen.

It really depends on who is operating the casino. Anyway I think casinos can be a decent place to visit, have a good time with class, confort and style, since it's well managed.

Yes, the problem is that Bitcoin breaks the system. It makes traditional banks lose money and governments lose control. But at same time they don't want to kill Crypto-Currency world, because it can be useful for them, if centralized. If a government says that they are going to ban Crypto-Currency it's just that they didn't find a way to control/centralize it yet. One common excuse used by them is that Crypto-Currency isn't safe yet...

This recent drop isn't any surprise in Crypto world. We are used to see drops like that and it's already normal for most people here. But surely, for me it's not good to see BTC price falling, I would like to see it increasing and getting stronger to close the year with good results, so we could start the next year with positive news, increasing the morale of investors in general and potential investors that didn't invest yet.

For me it wouldn't make any difference if Facebook promotes Crypto-Currency, especially through their own currency. They are a centralized platform well known by censoring contents that displease their ideology and Crypto-Currency represents exactly the opposite in my opinion. It's not a surprise they would want to enjoy Crypto's trend at some point, like many other companies will also want to do this.

Lol, the solution is to not regulate anything.

Those attempting to control fake news ARE the fake news providers. The point is that they just want the monopoly. 

Every human has the capacity to discern fake from the truth by themselves...
