That settles if the authorities are implementing ban to gambling, that's the sign that I must stop. I don't wanted to be tracked by the locals that I'm gambling so even there's an option about VPN, I'm not going to try it. I'll install some gambling games on my phone just to replace my crave in gambling.

Just check on what are the high altcoins and if you found it quite expensive like ETH, you can still buy a few of it and not as a whole.

Leaning on the high valued and popular altcoins is a sure profitable for you.  If there is a community behind that coin that is much better.

The title is asking about why there's more of bounty scam.

And when I have read what you're going to ask, why are you whining with the merit system? you can directly ask the question that correlates with the title.

If world Economy will suffer there will be a massive effect to different tier businesses from smallest to biggest but a normal citizen won't feel it.

Connecting it to the crypto market, I can't say if there will be no effect on it or at least we have to see it first before looking at different scenarios if it will have an impact.

As a normal citizen that's into crypto market, still I have no say on this.

No they aren't partly affecting the fall of cryptocurrencies. They are even said to be one of the biggest influencer for the market but also they have something to do with pumps as well.

Scammers are rarely reported to medias but most of the time hacks are popular than it. When there are hack incidents and reports, the market is reacting quickly.

Crypto's are decentralized so we can't blame these countries too, they have their own way of implementing sanctions to scammers/fraudsters/robbers/stealers IRL.

Mate they are busy somewhere in Africa spreading love and giving foods to the less fortunate kids there or let's say exploiting kids for BCH?

I don't know if that twitter owner is associated with them but it promotes BCH and there are questions raised about it.

If bitcoin is doing great, let's expect them to fade....

Buddy. You are asking for others opinion and then you'll tell it that it's nonsense, how come that you know the answer and you are asking it?

You can't compare crypto's to such companies like Tesla.

What crypto company? crypto's aren't company. Bitcoin wasn't even marketed before it enters to the mainstream.

No whale will listen to your consent about the market.

Don't spread FUD, the market isn't falling so far if bitcoin goes to lower than $1000 then we can start it calling falling or even lower than that.

But have you seen what's with it today? it has moved up anyway, the market itself went up today.

I thought there's another company(sportswear) that started accepting bitcoin on news and link.

I won't cast a vote but that will come for sure, there is an NBA team that's now mining crypto's so these sportswear company are considerably aware about bitcoin too.

It will just come and I don't want to expect something from them now but that's coming.

It can be the starting point now again.

For this year, yes it is the lowest drop that has been seen but it can also be possible that there's another big drop soon but I hope that's the last and lowest.

I hope so but no indication yet.

Bitcoin and the altcoins are in a roller coaster most of the time, the lower it goes dipping when it starts entering the bull, the greater possibility that it will come to a higher price.

Only the newbies that are worrying about it.

Yeaah right.

They have the power to do that but they won't gamble their business to something decentralized by adopting a coin that they don't have the authority to control it.

They can create their own cryptocurrency but it can be a stable coin which is not volatile for the sake of their business and customers.  It will be a digital currency if they do that but there's no need for them to do it, they have online banking and adoption of blockchain is what they only need to do.

Bitcoin won't disappear and the common words that you will hear from the crypto community is that "Bitcoin is here to stay".

This professor is either no coiner or wants to see bitcoin at the bottom so that he can start picking up the weak handlers coin at a very low price. It's common when someone wants a lower price of bitcoin, they will call the media and cover their opinion which creates bad view though they don't have bitcoin to hold.

This is also my mentality that during the year end, there will be a surprisingly growth for the crypto market especially now that it's well known a little by little.

All speculations about the stay of the bear market can be until next year.

But I don't want to give that negative opinion about this matter. Bear market will last with no certain measurement but let's hope for the best that by July and August there will be a positive progress.

Is there are a time that bad news helped the market? all these hacks gave everyone an headache. And when there's a news like these expect that a dump will follow.

They won't buy at the all time highs so they are pushing the price backwards so they will manage to get it somehow at cheaper rates.

$5,900 today but it was $5,850 earlier.

Differences and the number of coins that they are supplying makes sense on why their capitalization aren't from others.
They are different in a sense of projects, focus, value and usage so expect that in no way they are going to be the same. Some of them has more than hundred millions of supplies and others has billions of supply so by computing it, you'll get to know why they have difference.

Mature and regulated crypto isn't the only factor that can't make big investors come.

There are big players out there that are still speculating and they are not prepared for the market and they assumes the outcome already. As much as possible they are calculating risk and most of all, they are not well versed and knowledgeable with the market.

Thanks for the hint about the bull run but I'll focus with the news about bitcoin crypto ad ban being modified by facebook. Very good news as it is so interested retailers who are mainly focused with bitcoin and exchanges, casino's that wants to keep on promoting through them will now have a chance to advertise. There are some twist now that they have to follow or fill up a form until they will be approved by the facebook management itself.

Before the ban I keep on seeing but I guess the ban has been effective, those ICO related ads are gone to my wall.

You know what you are saying and all what you said are correct. Being optimistic to an investment that you are trying is a must, don't get discouraged with most of the people that are whining about their losses.

Don't get dismayed if you have read some bad experience in trading, not all have a bad story and experience in such investments and in trading as well. My experience about trading is quite good so far and you don't have to chase and do day trade, it's like buying and holding.

You buy at dip and wait for that coin to increase a bit and sell.

I saw some newbies that are wearing a signature but stakes of it are very much cheaper than higher ranks.
