Only in Las Vegas. They have great prices there and many different various slot games.
But online, its not really as much fun. Its better if its a physical slots game.
I agree. I also do not like playing online casino. But there are so many people, so many opinions. It is quite real that someone likes to play through the computer. I only have tried once to play slots in an online casino and damn .01 BTC was gone in a few minutes. I was very unlucky then that I won't play online slots again. Never. But its the other way around in a landbased casino. I have won numerous times in a slot machine, and even with just a small bankroll, I almost have the feeling that I will get the bonus spin and won big. That's why I still try to play a few times in a landbased whenever we go to a casino. But sometimes I don't have the excitement anymore unlike before and just play card games like baccarat or blackjack. |

As the title of Gambling and mystic so I wonder if the mystic can take a role in gambling
I'm sure you've heard someone involves supernatural powers to gambling nah whether it really works or just luck
I want to hear your experience or knowledge about it
It's depend on what religion do you believe but for me, it's about luck and chance based on math that I've learned at school Let say if someone able win big because a bracelet that he/she obtain from shaman , everybody will do the same , right ? LOL. I don't believe that someone can really influence the outcome of a game in your favor. Gambling is really based on luck and no outside forces that change the outcome lets say of a dice roll. Its only in the movie that all this mystic or supernatural thing in gambling can happen. I consider this as a superstitions and we all that for a logical person to really think that his luck will change by just believing in it is wrong. Probably someone will really believe in those specially in third world or developing or even poor nation. But for far more advanced countries, Shaman and Superstitions has no place specially in gambling. |

Seems like touching $5,000 has triggered a correction, as the price is now in $4,700-4,800 zone. I think what happened now can be explained some traders taking profits at important psychological level of 5 thousands, and since this response was too strong, the price dipped further down. Next we'll probably have a ground around $4,500-4,700, and than we'll either test 5,000 again, or 4,200 and lower. The later seems more likely, as everyone is expecting correction after a very long bull run. But I personally prefer to hodl and look for the longer perspective instead of trying to play the markets against people who might have more information than me.
Woke up to check the price, its around $4,700-$4,800 from a high of almost touching $5000. Yes, I believed we have put a barrier now, which is $5000. We can understand that traders jumping on and pushing the sell button because the price is really that high. The price increase was so fast that one has to expect a correction will really happen. Its just a matter of time. However, its a healthy one so that others can join the party as well and stash bitcoin. But I do believe that we may really see that it will break this barrier as soon as new faces coming in. |

Venezuelans are using Bitcoin as a store of wealth since the hyperinflation down there is getting out of hand. They don't care about .001 fees, they need Bitcoin so that they can survive and not lose all their wealth due to a broken fiat economy.
I think Venezuelans are not just using bitcoin as store of wealth, but they are buying things outside of Venezuela using bitcoin because as what you have said they are in hyperinflation. The economic crisis in Venezuela is getting worst and worst everyday and its truly brilliant for the Venezuelans to survive in this crisis through bitcoin saying in buying. I guess that almost most of us here hope that the situation in Venezuela will recover because we don't want to see a beautiful country like them turn something like this. |

Had quick glance at https://coinmarketcap.com/ and looks like its not only bitcoin enjoying the gains, and i thought people said when bitcoin gains altcoins fall....guess this crypto myth is busted. Biggest gains among the top 50 so far we have PIVX, Ethereum Classic and Litecoin hope to see BTC as a top gainer soon. Maybe the new investors are not just getting into the bitcoin market, but they are diversifying their portfolio and pouring cash into the Altcoin market as well? ETH as well is almost $400 and might touch a new ATH if the trend continues. I really thinking that those stocks and gold guys are diversifying and getting into the crypto market now. Perhaps they really think that crypto are really a safe heaven for now and they are taking advantage of the situation for their benefits. Lets hope the trend continue, and if their is a correction, its gonna be minor and a healthy one. |

Kyrie Irving Thanks Cleveland Cavaliers Fans""My special thank you to Cleveland" *Link in Bio. My love extends way beyond the court I have for Cleveland and it will always be a place thats special because of the great people and experiences. The Ups and downs, we stand and fight no matter what the circumstances are, and that's what being in Cleveland embodies, it is all Love and a whole lotta pride. To the incredible individuals I've met who support the Cleveland organization and help allow us as Players to feel a special bond to the State/City and shared countless moments with, keep being YOU and know that my appreciation is eternal. Thank you From my whole being for being there as I was a 19 year old kid coming into the league, to now where I start another step in the journey as a 25 year old Evolving man. It will Always be Love and respect Cleveland. "The journey is always the Reward" #KyrieWick"Cleveland Cavaliers fans will definitely miss this young guy but they have to accept that no Uncle Drew will be played on Cavs jersey this upcoming season. But hey Cavs fans already knows the feeling of being left so I think they will not bitter by this trade. Respect as always and thanks this guy for his distribution on Cavs franchise. Yes it's different when LBJ left Cavaliers so I think acceptance will just be an easy task for Cavaliers fans now that Kyrie Irving left. He wants a new journey so let's just respect this without linking Lebron James shadow issue because Irving must accept that if no Lebron James, no such thing as Cavaliers will make their first NBA champ. It's a team play and every Cavs players contribute to that championship. Now a new chapter for Irving and goodluck. Can't wait to watch the season opening. It will be a blast. It was nice to see Kyrie bidding goodbye in a nice way and it clearly shows the guys has good manners. LOL. It closes another chapter in Cavs history. We all remember and watch 1 hour of episode of Lebron talking about his basketball plans then at the end bailing out of Cavaliers. The rest is already history though. Again I admire the Kyrie and showing respect for your previous team, we all have to wait and see how he performs on his new team and how far he can get them. |

I do think to invest in anything you need guts and knowledge about it's market.Well now bitcoin's value is increasing like anything so buying bitcoins would not be good idea.Best time to buy bitcoins is when their value has fallen and then just believe in bitcoin and hold them.Holding bitcoins is the best investment as their price keeps on increasing at good rate as starting of this year it's price was around $900 and now it's around $4600.Investment in Bitcoin is long term investment if invested at right time and rate it would be quite profitable.
Yes, I totally agree with this. With the price of bitcoin now, I don't have any guts either to buy. I will wait when the price drops so when it will soar again, I would have a good profit from it. I also would like to hold it long term for my long term plans. Buy low, Sell high. That's the key. Its not about the guts but the price is too high for just ordinary traders. But for a individual who have lots of money, then they have the guts to invest eventhough the price is too steep for us. But if you have really the guts to put money in the market about a few months ago, then it have paid of by now. Its seems to be that in trading or investing, you should be at a risk taker because we may never really know what it will bring out in the future. In this case, your guts in buying bitcoin before have been paying big time today. That is, if you have taken the risk. |

Is this a step towards accepting crypto in Russia? I seriously doubt it.
We have been seeing a lot of news lately coming from Russia regarding crypto currency lately, but they all contradicts themselves. You will see that they hate bitcoin, then suddenly making a U-turn saying that they will put up a mining farm because they have a surplus of energy. Everything that comes out of Russia regarding crypto's, I would always take it with a grain of salt. And I don't think that the government would allow something that is decentralized like bitcoin, we all know they are authoritarian so they want to control everything which the design of bitcoin does not point to a single authority. Unless I see a official announcement coming from the government, for me they are still anti-bitcoin.

Everyone asks this question but no one ever gives you an answer besides "as much as you are willing to lose" which is excellent advice thats what I do, but thats not a number.
My reasoning is this. The market swings up and down about $400USD a day. The most you can make off a trade will be that number. It has to be worth your time. My minimum wage is $15/hr since adjusted for inflation that what US min wage is supposed to be.
Anything less then 4000 is just a hobby. I'm starting with 2000 because I don't care if I lose it and I know I'm going to make some mistakes and any higher amount will start to trigger emotions and cloud judgement. I suffer from fear of mission out. I had bitcoins over the last several years and thinking it wasn't going to go any higher I sold. That was stupid. I have realized this is going to stay and keep going up over the long term since it has out lasted mt gox, hacking, and the fork, and as well as altcoins.
$400 price swings on an entire day on bitcoin price movement is possible but its not guaranteed that it would do everyday on which it stabilizes it price on a certain range for quiet some time. There are days on which moves only on $100 range minimum. We do know price of bitcoin is really unpredictable and if you do think on this kind of indications on 400 swings then most likely you would lose up money. Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen bitcoin price moves along the 400$ price line, although I observed after Japan has legalized bitcoin there are days that it is moving in $100 daily until a dump started. As for the OP, it seems that you have learned your lessons in a hard way, dumping bitcoin because you think that it can't go any further but then it continue and will likely touch $5000 in coming days. But with a starting capital of 1 btc is very huge for some of us here. For me a minimum of .05-1 BTC is a good investment to begin with in trading. |

This is great news. I remember earlier this year someone posted that btc would hit 5000. We all thought they were crazy, but we are almost there  This is like a dream to old users and investors since we are all sticked to the common price $2000. Ever since the fork has ended, the price goes up rapidly and everyone is really amused. I think we will not be reaching that price this month but in the last month, we will be seeing an ATH at the price line of $5000. Yeah, I think $5000 is the next stop for bitcoin. I still remember the wall that was put up by $3000 and now its seems a breeze passing $3500-$4500 in just one month alone. For those bag holders, this is really a very good news. But for most of us who are new we can take the profit of all of our hardwork for just holding on it for a couple of months. Yeah, $5000 is around the corner. I am hoping there is no way to go but up. I don't want it to go down anymore. Keep going up baby...
Yup, but sooner or later, there will be a price correction but I seriously doubt that it will be a major crash. Just a few bumps along the way before reaching $5000-$7000 at the end of the year. |

Dear, does segwit make any changes? It seems the fee is huge. I need to pay transaction fee .0007 BTC in order to send 0.001.Why transaction fee become so high after Segwit
this is a temporary situation that has many reasons. the spam attack, the drop in hashrate for about 2 days, increase in number of transactions because bitcoin price was rising fast,... and eventually this will be solved and fees will come down. even without SegWit. with SegWit things will be a little better too and eventually if LN can take some of them transactions away from the main chain (like the gambling sites or exchanges,...) it can help with the fee situation. Agreed with this, there is a lot of upcoming upgrades that needs to take place, as for me , i will wait till the transaction fees will come down, i know that this is temporary and developers will not let transaction fees to stay in that particular range. Fees might come down in the short term as the ecosystem transitions to Segwit, and also when signature aggregation and LN come into play. But in the long term, I think that most Bitcoin developers actually want to see fees increase. Core has done an incredible job implementing optimizations to keep the network running under increased load. By and large, the point is to fit more transactions in less space. But that doesn't necessarily mean lower fees; if adoption is happening, then demand for confirmations might still outweigh the ability to increase capacity without sacrificing decentralization. I understand it, but the main problem here is the slower transaction speed and the transaction fees, with this existing problems that bitcoin developers currently solving and bitcoin-enthusiast/bitcoin users currently main concern, bitcoin might die because of unresolved concerns, I might be wrong but if casual users cannot pay a high transaction fee, then bitcoin will not be globally acceptable, enough to make bitcoins die. This is only my opinion. We understand your concern, but with the current high demand for bitcoin, the rising may may be continue. But if you would look at the mempool now, its currently down from 82000 2 days ago to 67000 so there is a improvement at some point. And the the highest fees to get your transaction to confirmation immediately is around 400 satoshis/byte. But I would suggest to go as low as 200 sat/byte if you don't want to pay high fees. But I don't think that bitcoin will die because of this factors. Solutions have been rolling out since but we may feel the effect in the next couple of weeks. |

Wonderful news, bitcoin should hit $5000 in short time, then after November will be going to $7000-8000. Way to go!
Bitcoin will be 10.000 next year Not to fast. We still have the looming November fork that could make an impact to the price. Although I'm still positive that the this event will not completely affect the price but we may experience some minor price correction. But whatever happens, the price could really peak at lower $5000 and as high as $10000. The current price took a minor dip today, but boy it looks like its holding at $4500 which I initially thought wouldn't sustained. But let's see how it goes in the next coming weeks if we could really push to $5000 then next year at $10000. |

All the matches today we're suspended due to the torrential rain earlier I am sure that it's going to affect the other matches slated for today if the rains doesn't stop.they will all need to be rescheduled on a later date.
Yeah its a shame that rain has stopped almost all the matches for the day, being the US Open they should make more indoor stadiums like Australia has done for their Australian Open. What a shock loss to the defending Women's Us Open champion Angelique Kerber losing to Osaka in straight sets, I believe its been 12 years that a defending champion has lost in the 1st round of the Women's Us Open. Kerber is the first defending U.S. Open champion to lose in the first round since Kuznetsova in 2005. Its no shocker at all, after winning the US winning the U.S. Open champion last year, She had then the worst season ever. She didn't advance past the fourth round in any of the four grand slam tournaments, including first-round exits at the French Open and now the U.S. Open. While Osaka has shown promise this season with victories over ranked opponents including the former no. 1 Kerber, as she continues to climb up the world rankings. |

I have read from ETH News that the Central Bank approves licenses for two cryptocurrency exchanges. Do you think it is true? They said the implementing rules are still to come out. Is it really true?
How will it affect the Philippine banking system?
News like this should always come with link in other to properly analyse and even verify the source of the information whether its true or not. Or else, its going to be just an hearsay which does not hold water and cannot be relied on. If it shoulder happen, its good news but with choking regulations that might not be the right thing for the crypto world now. Here it is: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/two-bitcoin-exchanges-gain-official-licenses-philippines/I don't think that the Philippine government will put a tighter regulations on it. Actually they have coins.ph will already complied back then with the Central Bank regarding the KYC and AML regulations. And I'm assuming that they will also apply the same regulations to the two new trading platform as well. I don't know the extent of the effect to Philippine banking system, but this would be really a welcoming news for Filipino bitcoin enthusiast and pretty sure that bitcoin will attract more investors coming from the Philippines. |

I have found two exchanges[1][2], the first one seem to be old and no longer being updated while the second one last update was 23 days ago so you might want to start with that. It's worth mentioning however that If you have absolutely no programming and more importantly security knowledge, Its better to not start your project because It's very likely that you will get hacked If you don't know what you're doing. [1] https://github.com/peatio/peatio[2] https://github.com/txbits/txbitsIn addition to that, if you really have a plans to put up a trading platform, at least give your customer a better support because most of us are really looking at this at somewhat a measurement if we really want to used your website or not. I also suggest since you have a lot of money, invest and get a good designer, not just programmer, but a designer that will understand how to properly put up a security tighten platform around your system because hacker are really targeting it now more than ever because of the huge amount of money involved. Good luck to you mate. |

There are another fews problems with Bitcoin. You might want to include them in here. First of all, Bitcoin’s price is pretty volatile. Just to give you a sense of its volatility, just look at the price chart of Bitcoin a few days ago. Bitcoin price dropped almost 300$USD in the space of 2 hours! That is amazingly bad. Such a characteristic makes Bitcoin a terrible currency. The second characteristic is the freaking high transaction fee. I payed freaking 0.00115742 to transact 0.00396661BTC to another account! Far out! Fiat fees are like a few cents. And here I am paying $6! So as you can see, Bitcoin is not a very good currency at all. The only good thing about it is its decentralised platform and peer to peer network. I still have hope that transaction fees will decrease.
Transactions fee will decrease as infra become more and more developed. Competition between different exchanges and wallets, financed on ICOs and with other venture capital should push fees down. The other point is what to do with the speed of transactions. Segwit has been activated a few days ago so I don't know if we can feel the impact of it right now or we just needed a few more months of so. If miners would have upgraded their software to support Segwit then it will be a breeze to make transaction and we don't need to pay high fees because it is design like that isn't it? I think exchanges should lower the fees now if really Segwit becomes successful. I guess its really up to the individual to still used bitcoin or go to altcoins to pay less fees and faster confirmation if you keep on complaining about it. |

It's ridiculous. People who use BTC should not attempt to evade tax.
It's obvious that the IRS (and other governments) are only going to get better at catching BTC tax evaders with time. The more significant BTC gets in ordinary society, the more it's going to be tracked and regulated.
Unless they're extremely clever, they shouldn't even bother trying. They're only going to get burned.
I don't think the people are intentionally hiding in bitcoin because they don't want to pay taxes. Perhaps this the reason why IRS has reportedly acquiring software to track down individual not paying taxes if I'm not mistaken. If people would really want to evade they are better off with Monero, anonymous and IRS would have a hard time chasing them. But as what I believed, we are into bitcoin not to evade but to profit. But I guess everything that involves big money movement IRS is there. LOL. |

BTC makes tired it can actually be an early struggle, where btc has a good track record and a fairly high rate from time to time. But all the fatigue is paid when getting bitcoin as income and managed to sell it at the highest rate.
Dude, no one will give you money for free (with the exception of crypto-coin airdrops), either in fiat currency such as US Dollar, Euro or Japanese Yen, or in crypto-currency (BTC, ETH, XMR.etc). Work hard, if you want to earn Bitcoins. Indeed! We need to work damn hard to earn money for ourselves and our families. As we all know that there is no gain without pain. You really need to sweat in order to earn much more than your fellow people. No matter it is fiat or crypto, hard work is the key to success everywhere. Good luck! Correct, even in a signature campaign, you need to put a lot of effort to earn bitcoin. In life, if you get easy money and not work on it, if will definitely gone as fast as in came in your hands. So at least earning bitcoin is really hard now, but its very satisfying indeed if you see your wallet growing. In the beginning there will be struggle and you may experience disappointed and hardship, but as time goes, you will take it easy eventhough its really hard and if you learn to trade, then its another way to earn bitcoin as well. Patience is the key. |

i might be wrong but if you're using 180 sat/byte you need a time around 0-300 minutes every 1 confirmation. and the fastest and the cheapest based on https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ is 450 satoshi/byte which is need 0-40 minutes evert 1 confirmation. so if you use 180 sat/byte you need around 1-17 confirmation, and 0-1 confirmation for using 450 satoshi/byte correct me if i am wrong,even though it's an estimate time based on fees but because of this we can make an estimate for every trx that we did, 0-90 minutes for them whose using 331-360 satoshi/byte, right ? (everything is based on the tables,so i don't understand why you said 0-90 minutes/conf for them whose using 180 sat/byte) I uses 150 sat/byte and it confirmed just over a hour. I'm no complaining and for me its quite faster as compare to before. Are we really feeling the effects of Segwit now and miners like Bitmain has really switch to Segwit as we understand they did not and mining 0 blocks initially that cause the network traffic. I'm not saying the https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ is not accurate, but sometimes if you get lucky and even with smaller fees, the transaction is picked up just like my experience of paying less transaction fee and pick in the next 5 blocks. |

It might be a good idea to add gold to any portfolio for when a crash would occur. It has been a safe haven in the last financial crisis so even for that reason alone people might be looking to move money to gold and silver again which will make it go up (somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy). In any case the biggest losses will be made hodling fiat. For my perspective think that it wont be effect at least not that much ok it might go down but bottom line for support think it will be around 3000-3200 $ per bitcoin.
So if crash comes price might go to this line.
A long term bear trend in BTC/crypto's would easily push BTC sub $2500 imho, we were sub $2000 just a couple of weeks ago. Of course it is really good and to hold and hedge gold/silver and include it in our portfolio which have been a practice of people who are really preparing in an event of financial crisis. But casuals like me can't, so I have no choice but to hold fiat and crypto's in general. For me if a crash comes a long, it would be around $3000 lowest point. I agree we were sub $2000 a few months ago, but it has risen dramatically in the last couple of months pushing to where we at right now. We can't really predict when its gonna happen, but the best thing to do is be ready for this 'self-fulfilling' prophecy. |
