101  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 2000$ to invest on: July 30, 2018, 07:05:05 PM
In this dip, invest in big, potential coins for your portfolio like Bitcoin, ethereum, Litecoin as these coins are at their lowest values right now and will earn you good profit returns. Litecoin is considered as silver to Bitcoin's gold and since adoption by Coinbase, has seen a great increase in market value. Ethereum is the second most popular crypto and also being used as a token for smart, decentralised applications, is highly popular in the crypto world. Bitcoin is the most widely accepted coin in the financial market and is a great coin.

I agree. Even my smaller altcoins are also experiencing dropping its price and it is on hold for quite some time now already.
I really would like to invest more with my little altcoins but don't have the budget for it at this month.

I think bitcoin will always be the king of all the cryptocurrencies that exist, altcoin and even tokens will not be able and will not have the kebranian to replace the bitcoin ranking position.

Indeed! bitcoin is the base of all altcoins and the more popular than any altcoins. It is a category creator in crypto world and so it could stay for a long time or even endlessly compared to smaller altoins.

In the crypto world, anything can happen at any moment. If you have invested, you have to follow it all the time.
If you do not follow your investments, you will be caught in the bear season and lose money. You need to be careful.

careful is the key here. If you just leave confidently your coin in the exchanges and hope that it will soon be filled up when the price goes up, you have high risk of losing all of your investment. Try to check some news about it and see its status because before you knew it, exchanges are already delisting your coins.
104  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HODL or REGRET!!! on: July 30, 2018, 06:53:45 PM
Everyone certainly never experienced losing money as you are experiencing. And the incident could happen again if we don't wait in determining the correct decision. I will hold the coins any longer and I'll sell when the price is already high. This is a basic us in trade in crypto, that when the coin prices down will surely back pumping again.

it has been proven several times that when the price goes down, there is no other way but to go back up again. That is really true but just be very vigilant, what appears to be a good price could lead to nothing - this happens when exchanges no longer accept certain altcoin and could no longer be possible to trade and earn.
105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Happen If Gambling was not introduced? on: July 30, 2018, 06:50:13 PM
I can not imagine if gambling is not introduced, maybe there is no fun and togetherness because I think gambling is a social activity that must involve money in the game. where the winner can earn money or reward valuable.

Well, I am sure that there are always fun ways doing anything else apart from gambling. Just imagine people who are very happy with their craft and are not gambling. That is just one example and the list is too many.

What I am trying to say is that everything happens for a reason - the very reason why people love gambling is the fun, thrill, and excitement it offers and if it was not discovered, there are surely many other things that people will be going to have same excitement, thrill, and fun.
106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbetting on: July 30, 2018, 06:45:06 PM
I always bet on nba games that has a meaning. I mean if I bet on memphis vs suns that makes no sense at all, both are trying to tank so we can't really know who will "win" because both are not looking to win. This year might be a bit different with the picks but they are still nowhere near Warriors levels so they may tank once again if they can. If you are not forcing playoffs you are tanking, thats the new NBA. Even raptors that made the playoffs so many times now kinda "tanks" with this trade.


Good point. I usually bet with my favorite team in NBA, especially during the playoffs. Good thing I did not bet last Championship game because I could have lost as my strategy was always bet on my fav team and stick to it doing martingale until it wins at least once - we all know the fate of my fav team, right?
107  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: When do you know its time to sell your altcoins? on: July 30, 2018, 06:42:14 PM
If I invest for a short term then I usually sell coins when the profit is more than 25-30%.  If I invest in ICO and the price of the coin is now higher in the market than the price of the ICO, then I immediately sell the coins.

25 - 30% is easily achievable in cryptocurrency trading as it is indeed a very volatile market. In my case, I usually have more transactions in a given day because I only target around 3 - 5% profit before I am going to sell.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To quit gambling is to quit yourself on: July 30, 2018, 06:40:10 PM
I play but do not depend, I can easily interrupt the game. 

You mean you leave the game in between ? That does not sound very practical if money is stake. You should not start the game at first place if there is time constraint. I have had been forced to leave games in between but it was only because of things out of my control.

You are right - just like in trading, you should also have pre-planned betting strategies and stick to it no matter what. This is a way to combat being too emotional in gaming because all you have to do is follow your pre-bet plan.
109  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price stabilizes? on: July 30, 2018, 04:41:52 PM
We cannot say anything, its mid year, its not late stabilize. We should not let anyone think in advance, we know how volatile bitcoin is. We should not entertain those who fear on the fall of bitcoin value. We should remember how bitcoin value goes high on before year end.

I agree. Bitcoin prices is really volatile but it takes a lot of courage to hold and benefit from holding still once its price goes way up again as the last year. I think the price will not go as high as we want to at anytime soon because I see that it is now stabilizing and there are no quite excited big fish that is going to the market as yet - that is unless there will be good big news going in the coming days or months.
110  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: SAFE TRADING METHOD on: July 30, 2018, 04:36:29 PM
To me, the safest way is to follow the trend instead of trying to be UNIQUE. In the business like trading, you don’t need to be over smart, but you need to be sensible and on the track. It is the simplest formula to be able to make money and I do just that.

My way of doing it is through keeping track of the latest news. Like recent news of JD.com to purchase a 30% stake in Alianz China, it’s all very attractive news and something that could make a noticeable impact.

I agree and we all know that it is easier said than done but that is really the way to go. If you find that a certain coin is going down and there are a number of bad news about at current times, better prepare and position yourself in the most bottom of its price and once it gets there, open a sale position right away with a reasonable target profit.

The same is true if a coin is going up and there are many good news about it, determine if the rise is just starting and if it rose far already it is prudent not to buy it because it could go down fast and you are really in the bad position - better wait until it stabilize and then decide at what price point you are going to buy.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To quit gambling is to quit yourself on: July 30, 2018, 04:31:47 PM
After loosing in gambling people situation will be in a dilemma and thinks negative about gambling but after some days again they will start gambling with fresh money. It is impossible to control ourselves after addicting to it.
This is very true. Once we got our money from the payment of work or from something else, you will back to gambling and use the money to gambling. To be honest, it's really hard to quit gambling. When you have so much money on your hand or your wallet, you will think to gamble it.
Yes, it is an addiction and it is hard to quit gambling if you can't set up limit.
This is what addicted gamblers think of and furthermore they do not give importance to think about it but just involve in gambling and gambling. They have nothing in the whole world except gambling in which they are involved anytime.

Sitting a limit for gambling is a better strategy and is a solution to get rid of addiction which is a danger to your whole life when you get addicted with gambling.

Each individual person is different and the very person who knows your deeply is no other than you yourself. Hence, if you find yourself easily hooked on things that you love doing - whether a good one or bad, you know for a fact that when you indulge to gambling for that matter, you will easily get hooked as it is really addicting.

Better stop once and for all if you have the tendency of easily get hooked and better spend something productive for you and for your loved ones because you can't go wrong when you get hooked that way.
112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: July 30, 2018, 04:03:14 PM
it is hard to see that positive thinking will affect gambling because as far as I know, positive thinking only works on other things. but I don't know if this could help you or not because so far, I don't think about positive or negative thinking and I only play the games without thinking too much about the games. and if I can win, its mean I have my luck works well. but if I lose, then I don't have my luck in that games so I need to quit as soon as possible so I don't have to lose more money.

It can boost your confidence but if it isn't checked and controlled to a certain degree it can backfire and get you over confident and make you prone to mistakes and unforced errors while you  gamble away your hard earned money.
I do agree with you in this regard because positive thinking is of great importance not only in gambling but also in some critical situations like the result of an average student, a criminal scenario or a war etc because when you will be able to think positive, you would automatically be able to put more concentration to the game and will win with much ease.
Yeah of course positive thinking affect gambling. When you fully concentrate on your game especially cards game which is more technical and more tricks are used in this game, you will have control of your game and the result will favor you. If your mind is scattered and you cannot concentrate your game definitely you will lose the game.
I disagree that positive thinking is equivalent to becoming focused at something, not only gambling. Positive thinking means being optimistic about the outcome, thinking that the results will be "positive". On the other hand, being focused at something means that you are looking at the whole picture and you're not being affected by external noises. Your focus is only at one thing. Positive thinking can even be a bad thing because you're hoping that the outcome will be positive and thus you will not anticipate the negative outcome as much as when you're focused at the whole picture, not being positive or a negative thinker.

Positive thinking has zero connection with your edges in gambling as positive thinking is happening only in your mind, not affecting anything else. If the outcome is negative, then the outcome is negative. Positive thinking doesn't do anything but make you delusional to a degree. After losing tons of money from gambling, so-called "positive thinkers" will be like, "I had fun anyway. Always look at the bright side!" Sounds deluded, doesn't it?

I could not agree more with you, mate!
Positive thinking is just in your mind and could not affect whatever be the result of your bets.
Of course, there are a lot of things in our lives, other than gambling, that needs to have that positive outlook in order to get through to any stumbling blocks a long the way - but not in a game of chance that is based on pure luck.
113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Happen If Gambling was not introduced? on: July 23, 2018, 02:53:16 PM
If Gambling was not introduced then many people have to do the hard work for earning money.
In my own personal opinion, if gambling was not introduced i think everybody are working hard in their jobs, so they could earn to provide all of their basic needs. And also people are not taking a lot of risk in just to earn a huge profit.

For me, I think when gambling was not introduced, people will be very busy on their social media platforms and other physical activities that could really improve overall health and healthy living.
114  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: SAFE TRADING METHOD on: July 23, 2018, 02:45:38 PM
With cryptocurrency safe trading is not possible all the time. The market being highly unpredictable makes it harder to be on the safer side profiting big without any loss. Even the professional trader encounters loss, learning to overcome takes time. With trading one more think needs to be considered is to learn from experimental experience rather than from others experience.

This is especially true to games that are based on pure luck. Although you already have used a particular method successfully, it doesn't mean that it could be reckt at any moment in time.
115  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Another Bear Market coming soon? on: July 23, 2018, 02:44:04 PM
Every investor goes to the market being aware that there will either be a bearish run or bullish run and strategizes to profit from the two scenarios,. The fact is that anything is possible when it comes to investment

You are right and I think that an investor could just do very basic trading skills and can be able to spot the lowest point price and sell it at a much higher price for good profit.
116  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: All Alt Coins are a scam. on: July 23, 2018, 02:41:14 PM
you know that aint true,if u have been hurt by an atl coin ICO scam am really very  sorry about it.existing companies and product based ICO should be what yall have to look at.i repeat again alt coins are not scam. Lips sealed Lips sealed

true and could not agree more. however, it is really a fact that there are a couple of fraudulent altcoins being produced out there. So, better try to do your homework first before buying any altcoins for that matter so you wouldn't be surprised that the coin you were buying just a few minutes ago are now gone already.
117  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: HODL or REGRET!!! on: July 23, 2018, 02:36:10 PM
Well I expect the people who sold when you made this post are feeling fairly happy with themselves lol

of course, you will really feel happy especially if your investment values are growing up. Nothing beats seeing your open sale at profit is already filled up.
118  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Is Ethereum a good investment? on: July 23, 2018, 02:33:15 PM
I believe ethereum is the best investment and right now I think ethereum is the future potential apart from bitcoin. ethereum itself also has a very good potential for the future. smartcontrac and their platforms that have been widely used by people

This is one of the coins that you could never go wrong investing your hard earned money with. Although there isn't any certain in all things though as it could collapse who knows. But yeah, investing to etherium is a good investment to have.
119  Economy / Economics / Re: What would happen if another cryptocurrency took Bitcoins place in Market Cap? on: July 23, 2018, 02:31:39 PM
So what do you think would happen if another Cryptocurrency (Example Monero / Ethereum etc) were to take Bitcoins spot as first in market cap?

It does not matter if there will be new currency that will be surpassing the price of bitcoins because people will just keep on investing if they are still interested and the price will keep on increasing.

I agree with you. I even come to a thought that I could even welcome this kind of scenarios when it happens because, at the end of the day, we are most likely is up to earning profits through any altcoins for that matter - not unless you really love a certain coin or you belong to a team that creates it.
120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does positive thinking affect your edge in gambling on: July 23, 2018, 02:25:52 PM
Whatever you think the same things you are going to experience today or someday so, I feel that there is nothing wrong in having a positive attitude if it can lead you
No one would actually gamble with a negative attitude but being positive isn't too easy, as for most when they roll their first bet they lose and that causes lot of stress and negative attitude towards their game.
If you lose your first bet it's always better to roll once more and if you win that roll once again and stop gambling, but if you lose 2 times in a row it's better to quit

It is true that it is really hard to get along with negative people but sometimes you can't avoid it and you really have to change that person and just focus on his/her good side. But in the case of gambling, although it really doesn't affect at all the outcome of games that are based on pure luck, it is could be an external factor needed to accept any loses.
