I think it also depends on the method, house is not always the one that tries to win in every game. If we are talking about something like dice for example which has an house edge literally told you before you even gamble than you should know you will be losing money playing that game long enough, it literally tells you that they have a edge over you and its not even a secret.

However, if we are talking about something like poker for example than its you vs another player and house just takes a rake, which means if a great poker player plays vs a bad poker player the most likely possibility is great poker player winning the game and making money, house has no edge over any of them, they just take their rake. So the "house always wins" only applies if you gamble against the house.

If you think those people are gone than you are very very wrong. There are people who write those things even today! when we are going up. Bitcoin is loved by some people of course (obviously) but there will always be haters, there are haters of everything in life and bitcoin is just another of them, there will be people who love it but there will be people who hate it.

People who hate it usually are the people who either missed out on making huge profits from bitcoin by not buying on the right time and missed out or people who bought on the wrong time and lost money when the price went down and sold. So basically these are people who got hurt by bitcoin and either not made profits or even lost so it is obvious that they are going to hate bitcoin and tell things like "IT IS GOING TO BE ZERO ONE DAY" and all that, they are obviously very very wrong.

I am not going to even go into detail about how horrible this idea and how it could be taken advantage by the people who run it, that has been talked for pages and nobody has a single reason to trust these guys, if you can please never even visit the website.

Nonetheless, the most shocking and horrible thing we can talk is the ticket pricing, it says 2 euro per ticket for CRYPTO PAYMENTS and 1.8 for the others. Dude we are in crypto world, if you are going to make something like this and than publish it here and than ask for MORE money when paid in crypto people will see you as a scammer very easily. Hell dollar and euro payments in fiat is a lot worse with fees compared to bitcoin whereas with bitcoin it is so cheap, why would anyone charge crypto more than fiat.

I think it depends on the game a bit, for example slots should definitely be mobile friendly, it certainly has a lot of aspects of the game that could be gambled on mobile phone and not lose any of the fun, or maybe even dice could be done on mobile properly as well, that would be lovely too.

Moreover, I played poker a lot back in the day (3 or 4 years ago) and honestly even on the biggest poker places in the world (pokerstars for real, zynga for fake) it was not as good as PC gaming, it just feels much better on computer. That is why casinos should first test out which games would be fun to play on mobile and which games wouldn't be fun at all. I think all games should be mobile friendly anyway but if they lack the funds and talent they should start with slots first.

I think there will be a correction soon, this can not go forever unless we are in a huge bull run yet again, if you think bitcoin will reach to 10k+ again and keep on going up and up than the price will be on a steady increase however if you think it will be around here for a while than I think it should also have a correction as well, some people will realize profits and that will drop the price a bit but only a bit, nothing huge, it can stay above that 4700+ price for a long time from what I see.

All indicators show bitcoin going up but do not forget that right before November 15th the price and charts looked like bitcoin going up but than Craig sold a bunch of bitcoins and we have been waiting to go back to pre-November numbers since those days. I would like to be happy and get excited about the prices too but I am also very scared as well.

Small amount such as what? Right now there is a transaction fee in bitcoin and if you look at the exchanges most of them even charge over that transaction fee so it means that you need to have more than a tiny amount just to cover the expenses. I think the cheapest I saw was at idax.pro and they charge like 0.0001 for your withdraw, which means anything over 0.0001 you can just take into your wallet or pay someone if you want.

If you do not want an exchange and just look for a wallet than blockchain.com is always the best option to use while transferring funds. If you just want to sell tiny amounts and do not want to share your information I can suggest localbitcoins, it might be a little bit more riskier but you can find a trusted person there and sell as little as you want.

Right now, if you check the bitcoinfee website it shows that fastest and cheapest option is to use 148 satoshi/byte which means it is not the slowest but it is also not the most expensive as in it wouldn't be stuck there for hours but it also wouldn't be idiotic like spending 1 btc for a transaction, with 148 satoshi per byte you get the regular speed that is expected from the transaction. Considering the size is usually around 225 byte than you should be paying about 33k satoshi per transaction.

It is certainly not cheap and it all depends on what you use (core, segwit, lightning network) but that number is about the expected as you can get. That way you can get it under 40 minutes for sure and you won't have to wait, it will not take hours to get your coins.

I think it is very normal that we are seeing a lot of IEO today selling out today, we should not forget that we have seen something this familiar even in the ICO market and where is the market today, IEO is pretty new and this is the main reason investors are running into it because we haven't began to see scam project rising up in the IEO space.

But, I can assure you that in few months to come, we are going to see a lot of scam IEO projects rising up daily and then users will begin to loss trust in IEO same way they have already lost trust in ICO market.

It is already positive, seems like it must be a great month to have always. I think the peak will be $6500 by end of this month and that kind of makes me think hitting 5 digits will not be a waiting for too long as it might be possible within this 2nd quarter of year.

The price is now above $5k ever since last November and we will see it break that level easily if it doesn't go down again. From now on the only options bitcoin has is going back to $4k levels or it will break that $5.5k level because the resistance is so much less there, it required more money to break that 4200 levels and since we broke it it is now easier to go all the way to 6.5 thousands without too much resistance, there is still some but not too big so we can definitely manage to find a way to do it.

I believe we are already starting to see what the market is thinking about bitcoin. It can stay at the same price for months but eventually it goes up, people still think bitcoin is a good investment and they do buy it and increasing the price. Bitcoin could drop to 100 dollars even if it could and I would still not lose hope because people think bitcoin is a great investment and it will eventually go up as always.

We are seeing that going up right now, it will continue going up with time, sometimes it can fall but in the long run it will be higher, maybe this year it won't, hell maybe next year it won't but in the end it will be higher than this price if you wait long enough. That is why some people love "hodl" stand point, no matter how long you wait in the end you will profit.

The altcoins had to wait a bit more to react to the market, if you check while bitcoin was going up the altcoins didn't exactly went down, their dollar value didn't lose much and even gained a bit, it was just their bitcoin worth that got down a bit because bitcoin value increased.

Given enough time and bitcoin not falling back all altcoins followed the bitcoin and when the bitcoin price of something gets back to its old price while bitcoin is high just meant all green bars for each coins out there. It is simple economics that happened way too many times before, bitcoin goes up first, altcoins wait, bitcoin either continues going up or stays up and than altcoins go back to their old prices or even higher which means a lot of dollars. It is only not applicable during bitcoing going up but than going back down which didn't happen this time.

It is super dangerous to believe in these type of projects. We have seen with facebook and Cambridge Analytica what the data storage could cause, giving away all your information to one place in exchange of small chump change will never lead to anything good for you.

The money you receive is at the expense of your privacy and it never really worth it. Not even thousands of dollars would be enough to cover the damage that could be done with that type of data at the hands of someone bad and noone good would really want to have your information anyway.

KYC is the root of evil in bitcoin world because bitcoin and crypto was created for being anon and not having to deal with the governments whereas KYC is literally counter productive on that sense. Keep your information to yourself.

I guess they published a new thing on how they could handle a 30 day electric cut as well, when the problem is going all the way to not having any food to eat and literally losing weight as a whole nation there are bigger problems than just electric but since its the year 2019 many of the foods do have a fridge requirement to keep fresh or they go to waste, not like I think the food there ever goes to waste but the ones that are left will have a rotting issue as well so they need to store them better.

I don't know whats going to happen there but bitcoin is not enough to battle this out all by itself, bitcoin is a good helper for people who are losing their money and for people who had some bitcoin beforehand but its not going to be enough to get them out of this situation.

Just not joining is a not a solution for popularization though thats the issue. I would love to just not join and I do, I hate giving away my KYC and never have to anyone ever but that doesn't stop the new ICO's coming out with KYC requirements neither, there are more and more of them every single day. Which means maybe one day most of the ICO's will have KYC requirement and that is definitely not nice to hear.

So, when people talk about and complain about the KYC requirements "just not join" is not a good solution, yeah I will not join but I also want them to stop asking for it just for the future as well, so they don't become an example to the other ICO's coming up. We would like to find a way to stop KYC requirement all together or at least keep it a not liked option so we could continue having good non-KYC ICO options for ourselves.

This is a "bull start" but not bull market all together, bull market only happens if it continues long enough but it if it is short lived than we can't call it a bull market. Consider this if bitcoin reached to $5k but now it falls below $4k would you consider this run a bull run? No it is an increase that was followed by a decrease right afterwards so its just trends changing and that's that.

Moreover, if the price reaches to 5.5k tomorrow and next week it moves beyond 6k and so forth than we can call today the start of that bull. As you can see what this is will be decided upon next weeks and depending on what the price is we will be able to call it either a bull run start or we can call it just bitcoin moving in prices as always up and down. I would say it is a good start for a bull and hopefully it would continue going up.

I think you can just check on websites to see what is the ideal range for sending money but also remember the byte you are sending and the load has more to do with it than the price, a billion dollar transaction on lightning network could have a less transaction fee than a 10 dollar send with old systems even before the segwit came. That is why you should try to find the optimum way to send before you decide what the fee will be like, because with the optimum way you can basically send via almost zero and not have to worry about it.

I even got sent 200 dollars with just 0.03 (literally 3 cents) and it didn't pass for about 2 days (about 35 hours) and it still reached to me in the end, bitcoin usually doesn't deny unless it is definitely zero and even than sometimes passes.

Betting on the direction of bitcoin markets ? We are already doing the same in the name of binary options trading.

I just checked your site and I am unable to see any registered address for your business; who is the operator ? Your name betinance sounds good but it is not good that you are using logo and graphics are very much similar to binance.com as it may give a false impressions like a sister venture of binance for gambling industry.

For those gamblers who always look for new way of gambling, they may find themselves entertained here and there are chances for traders too give it a try. But, you need to prove it as a legit business and for that you may start with providing us a licence info.

I think there is only one path to go from here, up. I mean we are talking about 2030, how could anyone seriously say that we won't be higher than today in 10+ years that is beyond me. This is bitcoin, if we ever face a problem we will fix it, if we ever face an issue we will find a solution, whenever we had any troubles we found a way to go around it and never look back, it only took us higher and higher.

Back when it was 2011-2014 people were all like "oh bitcoin, don't go into that, druglords use it" now I am looking at it and bitcoin and blockchain all getting used by huge companies and they are investing into crypto world as well with companies and all that getting acquired by bigger companies. From now on it can only get stronger the more we build upon this.

I agree with first post regarding dollar having no backing at all but I am not really seeing the point at the second post about the 31 million dollars. If we are going to argue about the fact that dollar is printed out of thin air you are certainly right and it has no backing aside from the government.

If you trust the USA government and the US Banks than you use dollar but know that globally it is starting to lose value, china even sells his USA debt papers for less than what they are worth because they want to get their money now and not later so they are selling at 60 cents per dollar rate and others who buy that are just buying it because they know in the future some day they can get one dollar for it.

Nonetheless, that 31 million is another topic, its the CEO of a huge company, even though the company is shady and one of the reasons why we are in this economic mess but what would you expect him to get 50k a year for being the CEO of JP Morgan?
