Bitcoin is gaining ground once more almost touching $17K so its really hard to gamble when the price is going up. We really love to gamble, but if the price keeps going up, sometimes to better to hold than you gamble all your bitcoin and hope that you will win, otherwise all your bitcoin could be gone in an instant. Although I still gamble online, I have to limit myself, that's why I would just go to a landbased casino and just play it there. At least I can only bring amounts that I  can afford to lose.

LOL mate. That was long time ago and time changes very quick. I used to play it back in the days, however, when the advent of technology, everything changes.


Damn mate, that was a huge windfall you got there if you really won $15K. I will go shopping around with that amount of money and treat my friends. Sadly though, it looks like gambling has given you a taste of medicine resulting you in being addicted. That's what we call beginner's luck and then gambling will suddenly eat your mind and soul becoming a addicted one.

What do you mean it will collapses? Can you site a good source to backup your claims?

Its just the nature of bitcoin, price moves upward or downward, even last year we have seen a lot of ups and down but bitcoin didn't collapse actually if went even further and no one really thinks that it can reach $19K in 2017. So to say  that it will collapse is total ridiculous. It may be facing difficult times, but a total collapse is very unlikely.

Nice prediction, we all love to see the price goes to $50K. However, we don't know when its gonna happen. I'm sure that we all know that bitcoin as of late have been very bullish and even been challenged by Ripple in terms of marketcap.

And as the question on the OP, we have seen bitcoin fall several times but was able to get up multiples times as well. Its just another challenge that bitcoin will have to face in its storied career.

Did has been the trend lately if I'm not mistaken, teams making huge leads before the opposing team made a mark and try to close out the game. But this time, it didn't work before we have Steph Curry here. Since coming back, he has been spectacular. Although it will really made a lot of people happy if Dallas wins because they have a beat, in this case, we can't really deny how Steph is for the Golden State, they can win without him, but its much easier if he is playing for the team. What a screen though, and Dirk was late picking up Steph in the three point line.

Congrats if you reached 4 digits because the price is now picking up. I'm also ecstatic as well when my portfolio suddenly grow after a few months of holding specially last December.

Everyone here is in for the money mate, so I'm sure that you will find a lot of greedy cunts around. LOL.

Railblocks? its been dead for quite sometime now.

Everyone here is very passionate about crypto, and most of us really see it as their bread and butter.

That guy is crazy, LOL. Nick Kyrgios is a huge underdog to win the AO. The only logical explanation that I can think of is that the guy wants to see a Australian to with AO in 2018. I checked Nick record's on AO last year and it looks like he only gotten on the 2nd round.

I believed that the guy has talent, but sometimes he has the tendency to lose focus and have some attitude problems as well. He is still young and others have really saw some potential in him. But I guess the needs to mature more, and with that said I don't think that he will win this year AO and goodluck to the guy who bet on him.

What the hell are you talking about? Did you know that the fight was already done. I'm sure that you didn't read and just comment here. Please go to youtube and see some highlights. Cyborg already won the fight and its one of the greatest fight that we have seen for the ladies division.

@bbc.reporter, yeah, probably Conor with fight Nate for the trilogy and will just wait for the winner of Khabib vs Ferguson.

Payment received in my bustadice account. Thanks Yahoo and Bustadice and congrats to those who got the bonuses.

Of course, Lebron, wouldn't be call the "King" for nothing. He has still something to proved against the upcoming guys specially to Durant. He still hold great stats and for this age, he still at this peak. Although Cavaliers lost last year to Durant and Curry, we can't really deny that they beat them the previous year.

I want them to face Durant and Steph for the NBA once more, however, I wouldn't be surprise if they didn't. Boston Celtics is young and with Irving as the main point man, Cavaliers will have a tough time in the East. But yes, he is still the best in the NBA today.

The ladies (Cyborg vs Holly) put up a good fight, actually is a great fight to watch. I was rooting for Holly, however, I think Cyborg really proves that she can adjust and raise her bar. Respect to both of them. I don't know who will be her next challenger, but I love to see her go up against Nunes.

Khabib? Just wow, one of the most lopsided fight I have seen. Khabib vs Ferguson should be next. Connor wouldn't fight Khabib. He is enjoying his millions from his fight with Floyd. 

We can't really say for sure that XRP can go up and increase in 2018. We all know for a fact that this is a huge pump that we are seeing and the next thing that we are going to see is a dump, a dump that so hard that you are going to regret your decision for not selling at the top price.

In my opinion, its really the best opportunity to sell it right now mate because of the above reasons that I have given. And then wait till the price goes down again before entering once more. But its really up to you, make up your mind, otherwise, you might lost a good potential profit.

Maybe you are talking about coins.ph mate. Its really convenient and we are happy that they have support for the paying bills like internet, water and electricity. I have used that functions as well and its very convenient to us.

But as far as the OP's questions, Yes, there are really wallets that do support that function. However, the issue is that no grocery has yet so far accepting bitcoin or crypto as payment method. We have been dreaming that this, used bitcoin as micro payments. But sadly, it will take a couple of years before we can see this happening.

As much as whales are doing some manipulations and as fraudulent as it is, we can't do anything because the market is based on pure speculations. This is only the main reason why those why some people hates bitcoin. But for me, its part of the game. Fluctuations due to them are real, its up to us how to deal with it.

However, manipulators can also turn the tide of bitcoin in a positive way. So it can go either way, the price can go down or the price can increase because of them. Its up to us how to deal and face the challenge in order to make a profit out of this price fluctuations.

That's why its really better not to check the price like every hour or so. What I do sometimes is that I will stay away from checking the price and will just look at it before I went to bed. I'm not worry though if I see the price is going down. I have strong faith in bitcoin and the investors that are around the ecosystem. No regrets as well.

But for those who are regretful, LOL. those guys are really funny because they worry too much and not believing in bitcoin. And for those who have been in the market scene, this is just normal behavior. We have seen this a lot of times, no need to panic and worry.

Wohohhhh hold your horses guys. Its the end of the and just give bitcoin a break. If it heads to $8K, so be it. We can't really control where the price is going to be, we have been in this kind of situation before but bitcoin always recovered as long as you have the patience.

But yeah, this downward trend seems to make a lot of people very nervous here because of the amount they have investment, so if they want to get out now you can do it and don't wait till the price sinks to $8k. The bears and bulls are still fighting, this is want we are seeing in the last couple of weeks. And no one is really giving an inch. Let's see how it goes though, I will buy when the price gets below $10K. Perfect time to hoard a lot of bitcoins.

People have choice, if they don't like bitcoin because of the issue that we are facing today, then by all means they can go and shift to altcoins. No questions asked. But I really don't know if they can profit as much as they want if they go to altcoins market. Bitcoin has given us so much opportunity to really gain, you just need some patience.

Having said that, if some people moved to altcoins, bitcoin will simply not die. Although it will lose a huge chunk of volumes, but there are more people waiting and willing to enter bitcoin market so it will continue to lived.

I think by now that you have understand that marketcap is less significant right? And most of the time its fake and very misleading specially if you are a newbie:

Market cap = price x total coins in circulation.

So if newbies that are getting into crypto and getting in XRP will come face to face with a rude awakening. Once the pump on XRP is burst, they will be trap and one way to get out is to incurred losses on your end. And do you think that XRP has the capability to sustained that growth?

I wouldn't be bothered by the rising price of XRP, sooner or later it will crash and bitcoin will remain the no. 1 crypto.

Like most of us here, we want bitcoin to really go up in 2018, But with the current issues that we are facing, it will take a lot of time before it can really took off again. Specially if LN will be implemented to resolved the problems.


I'd like to see the price goes to $30K-$40K. There will be a lot of bumps along the way, just like we see in 2017. Nevertheless, it will rise up again and face those challenges and overcome it at the end, reaching $40K. So everyone, just better hold and invest on it while the price is still cheap at the moment.

How time flies, beginning of the year bitcoin is just $700 then it reaches $19K, then it plummeted in $13K. That's the nature of this market. Very volatile and unpredictable. People cash out take profit and that's it. I guess by now you should understand how the market works and it will not go upward everything. Most of the time is will go on a sideward and downward trend.

You will hear people advising you to HOLD. Because of this very reason. HOLD and never sell because bitcoin is for long term investment. If you see prices going down and sell, then you will lose a  lot of potential profit in the future.
