It never ceases to amaze me that tokens like these continue to develop and grow... and even pull in more hordes of people. Even after all the early signs that would normally make any company ashamed of itself for trying to get away with amateur things. Tron and EOS are the two most recent examples in my memory that I just stayed away from as soon as I saw their painfully obvious coding deficiencies. But here we are today and they are both still pulling in the crowds.

Does anyone think Tron getting a mainnet only now is such an incredibly funny thing?

LTC is nothing compared to ETH? You would have to compare coins in the same class, actually, and this is where the oranges start to look less like apples. I have grown to have some respect for Ethereum over the last months, though not yet converted to their cause, whatever it is. I even bought a little for mid term holding, but ETH's status in the market is derived from all its marketing push and currently game apps. Don't tell me about utility tokens and commercial dapps other than games. Take a look at tx on networks and it all speaks for itself.

Well, that's what stop losses are for, aren't they? I'm honestly always surprised to hear that most traders buy the dip, thinking they made the smart move, only to lose it all and more just buying more into dips. Get yourself straight first. You're a trader, not a holder. If you buy to hold, then fine, every dip is your cheaper entry point. But if you trade, keep to the basics. Entry point Exit point. Simple. Win or lose. Then you survive several dips until recovery happens.

Bear markets actually mean the opposite of what you're thinking. Yes, I know, there are those who look to buy specifically in bear markets, but the bear is defined by the majority of sellers, not buyers, defined by the weak demand, defined by the encouragement to sell rather than to buy.

It is the bull that encourages people to buy and hold.

I was more nervous when it was approaching and then hit past $800 to be honest, although the nerves were more related to Bitcoin's climb to 10,000. I'm really keen to see crypto move around these tight ranges (for ETH that's 600-800) for a very long time, as I feel this is the important consolidation phase that's been neglected for too long. Further dips would be okay too.

Sweeping statement but true enough for everyone who is in this forum and reading this thread. Greed is the motivator for profit, which is the objective of gambling. True, some people only gamble for leisure but these will never be considered "good gamblers". I don't believe in such a concept, but I definitely agree that there are bad losers, and bad winners. Those who don't know when to stop, basically, whether losing or winning.

Site opens for me. It's not a business opportunity or a site claiming to offer insider tips on rigged matches. Just a rather simple site of about 5 pages explaining how sports rigging or match fixing happens.

Has a form to submit information, but I don't know why anyone would do this when they would prefer to just report to enforcement authorities. Whistleblowers thankfully are still alive and well in sports.

Thanks for the post. I rarely thank people for these type of posts but I had NO idea these types of scaling solutions existed for Ethereum. To be honest, I'd already heard about Plasma, but I thought it was simply a tech upgrade (like Lightning Network is to Bitcoin?) that would help scale, so I guess I still have a lot to learn. I'm going to spend time now looking at these, Striim looks a little quirky at first glance.

Phew, hard to decide. I've made a lot of profit from Verge already and the ones I hold left are for pure speculative value, but I wonder if the recent hacks + market dip in general mean this is a super discount? Always tempting in these dips but I will want to be cautious in case the floors give way more.

I'm adding to my general hoardings: Waves and Stratis platform currency, Litecoin.

You missed out on one of the big things about this token, other than the fact that it is associated with one of the most famous names in dice gambling. You usually only get one kind of hope for holding a token, and that is whether it grows in price or not. But CSNO gives you an additional bonus for holding out, dividends! All holders get share of BitDice profits, distributed proportionally to the % of tokens they hold. That's almost guaranteed profits every quarter (barring losses, which is long term unlikely with casinos). House always wins.

And here comes all the panic. Was really surprised to see ETH drop so hard but with Bitcoin just falling, there was really no other way for this to not slide. Just slipping below $600 as I speak in one market. Guess a lot of people sold when it hit $820 weeks ago, then again when it recovered to $720 just a few days ago. People aren't patient, you see.

Depends on which coin it'd be. If Bitcoin, hold no question. If Monero, Waves or Litecoin, which I hold, nothing. If it's coins I'm keeping to flip, like Verge (heh heh) I always sell half at 100%, keep the other half for speculating. Any Bitcoin I recoup from initial alt buys is a win for me.

In fact, most of my stupidcoin holdings already have half in sell orders at 100% increase. That way I sleep better at night without checking every few hours what's going on.

Please sign me up for both the World Cup and Premier League pools at 25 pounds (not dollars?) each. 100 pounds/dollars seems a bit of a gamble for me at the moment and you all seem to be quite good if I peek at the last pool thread. So how does this work, we just sign up an account at that FIFA game website and post our results here every week? Looks like I need to explore that a little.

Never tried EtherDelta thanks to all the complaints I started seeing, and definitely not going to try ForkDelta as I suspect this will go the same route as ED. People need to realize that the ETH network simply cannot handle the stress of trading, when it is already struggling with all those collectible crypto games. Psst, time to move on to Waves platform guys. Quick and fixed fee so you all don't need to worry about gas price.

Can't say this often enough. You put in peanuts, don't expect monkeys back. Think about it. All you're doing for Twitter and Facebook is reposting or reTweeting. Almost no effort. You can even do it for 10 or 20 campaigns, no campaign ever forces you to be exclusive.

Why do you think these are the most popular campaigns? Because they are the easiest. And why do you think they started banning crypto ads? Because of how easy it was for people to spam and earn.

It is quite strange that the best times to make any kind of trading decision is usually to go against the flow. When everyone is saying doom and gloom, that is usually the time for people to book in value buys (like in March). And when everyone is bullish and saying the moon is the stop on the way to the sun (like it was during January highs), that is the time to book in profits and wait for consolidations.

The worst is when there is uncertainty either way (like now). But if you're a believer, you're rubbing your hands with glee at the prices today.

What I feel is "good" news is that BTC today is almost on its $8k floor and yet people are generally saying now is a good time to buy. This was really a big difference from when it was around the same price earlier and people were saying "wait until it dips to $7k". Personally, I think dipping time is not yet over. We've been experiencing the pains of corrections and consolidations, but there is more to come. Of course, this is still a bargain price at any time as anything below 10k will be limited buys. Once Bitcoin properly crosses over that holy mark of 10 grand, it will never look back again.

Sorry but I have to go with the majority here and say this is your fault. There is even a confirmation button that asks if you really want to bet max, and if you clicked on that as well or disabled it, this is your fault.

Let's be honest. If you had won that by accident, would you have wanted to return the winnings? of course not.

I've done this mistake myself and lots of others do. If you're gambling with hundreds of dollars, you have to be a little more careful, that's all.

Every economy has its benefits. Even if you look at dark economies or the blackmarket, they of course contribute to jobs and income. The drug cartels in South America are a huge GDP. The smuggling and ransom activities of groups in South East Asia, and piracy in Somalia all contribute to employing people and feeding families. The US declares war on other countries to take resources and give jobs to military and industrial activities.

Not saying gambling is like that, I love gambling, but this is a funny way to look at its benefits.

Interesting. I think it is fine for freeroll players (I am one of them!) to try out and build a bankroll for proper tourneys, since we always do want to deposit later to try attempt more buy ins, that is the way with poker, or for poker losers like me. Though I'm not sure I want to download any software, the web play is enough for me. What's the benefit of trying out the software itself? Oh, and I registered, didn't see the registration bonus though.
