well in my experience trading is a good way of making money and it is possible to make lots of it from wise investments. but also i agree with the fact that it is risky when market is highly volatile, but there is a solution for that. you can diversify your investment, reducing the risk of one market going down and you having all your money in there.

you can trade cryptocurrencies, gold and stocks at the same time and pull out from others to come to bitcoin when time is right and back.

blockchain technology is just a technology that you can use in any way you want. and that is why there are hundreds of altcoins created so far.
you can check them out, but don't get your hopes up. in many cases they fix something but mess up lots of other things. such as faster confirmation but lots of orphaned blocks which makes low confirmation numbers worthless.

not only price has gone up with a pretty nice speed and percentage rise but also it has stayed up there. which is more important in my opinion.
the days of thinking it might come down are over, and all those who were saying the last drop is going to go even lower must feel pretty dumb and sad because of the amount of money they lost.

it depends on what you call profit.
making something on your $10 investment can be called profit too. but it is small. you may earn a couple of hundred satoshis (100 satoshi) and call it profit. if you are ok with it then do it.
but in any investment you should not ONLY think about how much you are earning from the profit, but you should ALSO think about how much you will lose in case something went wrong.
with 0.01BTC you can only lose that much and earn small amounts. but if you invest 1BTC you make more but you can also lost more.

analysis is not knowing the future!
analysis mostly means you analyze the situation, the game and your plan (aka strategy) and make a better decision on what to do.
in sports betting, or in poker it means how you use the knowledge and information (you can't still predict the future in here too) and come up with a plan.
in dice this means you, instead of making random bets make bets based on a strategy that is going to make it easier to win.

using fiat is free, at least in my country with our banking system it is. if i want to tranfer money from one bank to another i can do it for free with no fee. if i want to do it from my card it will cost me a fixed fee of about $0.1

with that said, if i want to treat bitcoin as a currency i wouldn't want to pay anything more than 0.01-0.1 dollar for transactions.

first thing you should know is that bitcoin is not a separate and different thing than other things you see in the world. it is a currency and an investment. it is new in some aspects, but when it comes to investing, it really is the same.

you need to know basic economics and basic rules of trading if you want to invest in bitcoin with an educated move. don't think too hard about it being bitcoin.

and the second most important thing to learn is basics of bitcoin, how it works and most important is how to secure your wallet.

this year we may come a little bit short of $2000 (for example a price like $1800) but we will get there in a couple of months after end of the year. the say way we have been rising up until now.
there is nothing special about $2000 it is another 2x rise like any other previous rises.

and no amount will satisfy me, because whatever i get, i want more.

they are talking about a strategy of saving called the 52 weeks savings plan. you can google this term and find out more about it.
i read a bit about this strategy a while back and tried it but i don't get nor like the strategy for saving money, i just save money based on how much i can get extra from my expenses, i am a lot safer that way.

you are thinking about money and that is why you never found any of them particularly interesting enough to play.

when you are a fan of a particular sport or even s-sport, and watch all the games and follow them around it means you know a lot about them and enjoy watching the matches so when you add money to this process it becomes double interesting.

next time try to find what you like and then make bets on that, i am sure you will find it interesting, unless you are like me and not a sports fan.

no, only an idiot gives up bitcoin and moves on to altcoins specially altcoins as bad as ethereum which are full of bugs, centralized and with all the hard forks look like a swiss cheese!

and i am sure you agree with me on this otherwise you wouldn't have been here saying all this
because someone who isn't holding bitcoin or getting paid will never waste his time saying the same lies over and over on bitcoin forum!!!

i beleive it is because gambling is a highly addictive game that when you are hooked up on it, you can not let it go. and this is a big problem with most people who are gambling these days. they, without knowing it themselves, are spending a lot of time and money on a game that they can never win. the house always wins and takes their money.
everyone will give it up some day though.

the most important thing to remember when making an investment is to not listen to anyone else but yourself and also to not be affected by market manipulations.

there will always be people around here who sell before you and at a terrible time, and becasue they miss the chance to buy back, they will start telling everyone else to sell their coins too. and they start saying price will go down to $500, etc because it is their wish.

if you listen to them you are the one losing money.

oh boy, OP must feel pretty dumb saying what he said about price, now that the correction is over with the $750 as its bottom and now we are $1030+ and still rising.

but again, i am kinda certain that this topic was not created for speculation purposes but to say up only...

the solution is increasing the block size which sadly doesn't seem to be happening. and then on top of that there are groups of people spamming the network and making the situation even worse than it should be.
so we end up paying higher and higher fees.

if you are a day trader with short positions it may make some sense. although i never like it in times like this because things become much harder to predict.

in any case if anyone sells he has to be prepared to face the consequenses and lose money and if he waits he may have to face loss too. but the difference in waiting is that if you wait and price goes down you can be sure that it will come back up again so it is no all loss.

it is pretty simple: bitcoin price will continue to go up, even if it is high in your eyes now. a while later it will be $1500 and then $2000 and then $4000 and so on. and you will keep saying price is high.

mean while altcoins like ethereum are falling hard. their price is 0.03BTC and then 0.02 and then 0.01 and keep falling and in a year or two the price will be 0.0001BTC and you are still saying bitcoin price is high.

i have started gambling with bitcoin and started it online but not because of games and rounds board! those giveaways are mostly small as small as faucets.

but promotions are sometimes big and it has been one of the causes for my gambling habits. i wouldn't have made any bets in most of the sites if it weren't for their promotional giveaways.

your case is full BS and you keep saying the same thing for years. at least say something new.
we are still waiting for your case of $100 to happen and we are 10 times over your predicted price now but you keep sticking to it.

have you ever checked steam store?
when you purchase something worth $X they will charge you and additional amount called tax and you end up paying $X+$Y in the end.
why are you surprised about this?
