I would say crypto world would be the least affected one. Right now we are already above the price when it first started and we are pretty much doing very well as well. Sometimes in bitcoin world there are movements on the price, and sometimes the investment doesn't go directly into bitcoin but goes into infrastructure of bitcoin that helps it go up later in its life.

For example, after 2017 there was so much money going into companies for them to grow and take advantage of bitcoins movements later on, a lot of companies were acquired by bigger companies, 2018 was basically a year of investing into bitcoin related stuff instead of bitcoin itself. I am sensing the same thing once again in 2020, instead of investing into bitcoin directly, whales are investing bitcoin related stuff to make money later on.

Any newbie that follows the steps that the op has listed here wouldn’t have any problem with these hackers. There are lots of ways that hackers can gain access to your cryptocurrency wallet, they might hack your device or system, they can send you phishing emails, they can use keyloggers/trojans against you, they can create fake wallets, they can impersonate you, use fake advertisements, or use your clipboard.

Explaining all these things is a long story, but just as the op has said, do not reply emails from unknown people (unsolicited mails), and don’t download browser extensions because as I said they can use it mess up your clipboard. There has been complaints of people sending to the wrong address which is not the address they copied.

I think it could also be some sort of virus in the computer as well right. Now don't get me wrong if coinbase or blockchain is at fault they are at fault and I can't defend them, I do not know them and I am not affiliated with them so I can't say anything on their behalf. However, there was once a very common virus that made your bitcoin address copy pasting impossible, you would copy your own address and when you want to paste it copied someone else's address, that way people would get your money.

It was a virus that was put into your computer, never bother you in any other situation and that is why nobody suspects it until it is too late, and even sometimes after it is too late as well because they do not suspect it and think it is something else. Try it couple more times, try to copy your btc or bch address somewhere else and see what happens.

Do not consider above other people, there are people who are amazing at some stuff and horrible some other stuff. I have a brother in law who is a professor in philosophy, by all accounts if he knew how much he knew just few thousand years ago, he would have been considered rivals of likes of plato and socrates themselves.

However this dude doesn't know how to kick a ball at all, he can't play football if it was his life depending on it, does that mean some other person with mediocre football skills is better than him? Now this is an obvious example, just because you are good at trading or you have nerves that can handle trading, do not think for a second that you would be better than the guy who stopped trading because it wasn't for him, people have different skill sets in life.

Usually all emotions related things will lead you to meet stop-loss lol ; To avoid this, like you mentioned long term should be the simple solutions. Yes, I am a long term trader hence I never needed stop-loss functionality in my trading.

If making use of stop-loss is too hard and requires all skills then we can simply skip it by opting the positions to hold for longer duration. I mean you do not need to square off your positions at stop loss; you may leave it open for long term so that market will recover. It is possible only when we trade at spot markets.


This is how whales do manipulate the markets to eat up your stop-loss levels. Sudden spikes are usually the manipulations to hit the stop-loss and you get you away.


But your protecting way should not be in a way to reduce your capital over the time. I mean when you TA is not good and you keep hitting SL more frequently then making use of SL is not at all has any sense. Whenever I face a SL, then I will go working on finding what was wrong with my SL. So, that my next trade will not be the repeation of same mistake; this way I will recover my SL losses with next trade itself at most of the times.

Quite funny how some people fell for this, they just rushed and sent money to these scammers without asking questions at least. People are always in a hurry to make money they forget to be careful and at the end they are misled. Even if all these cryptocurrency websites or organization wants to do such a thing they wouldn’t be asking you to send them cryptocurrency to double it for you, this is not a casino lol.

This is even a old strategy that is being used by scammers. I hope this experience is enough and people who fell for it have learned to be careful next time. Until we people learn and being careful, those hackers and scammer will keep attempting in all possible means to make us fall as prey for them. So, just ignoring all non-realistic tweets which are even from well recognized people will help us.

The idea of Bitcoin ATM is really cool, but I don’t know if I’m ever going to make use of them. There is one that I know, but it’s very far from where I live that I will even have to take transport and not just a bike lol . And the high fees is something else that makes me feel like it’s not really worth it.

Why would I be paying high fees for just to buy Bitcoin when I can do that right in my room using my smartphone? So I don’t see the need for it. But like I said, it’s something cool, maybe those that likes it can continue making use of it or if I want to use it, would be just for fun.

Lol, someone is telling you to pay a thousand dollars to get your funds back and you still want to ask whether it’s a scam? Lolz. Even if we are to assume that it’s not a scam, do you think that it’s right that you’re going to be paying such an amount just to recover that amount? This is a full scam, so I will advise you stop talking to them so you don’t end up losing more after this.


Yes you’re saying the truth, there will always be people who are inexperienced, and they usually fall for these scams. I have reached a level where I can easily tell that something is a scam, but even when I was a noob I was still never scammed, although back then I wasn’t able to identify them easily, but I still never fell for it.

Yeah, people used to care about the price of a coin too much and forgot about the market cap. There was a time during 2017 peak times when people looked at xrp and other coins like that which worth under 20-30 cents and they said that maybe they should buy that and when it became price of bitcoin they would be super wealthy.

Well, it could never be like bitcoin one day because bitcoin is limited to 21 million and right now there isn't 21 million neither, still getting mined.

So, it was a bad idea and they never considered what the market cap of those small coins would be if it ever reached like 100-1000 dollar levels per coin, that would be bigger than top 30 biggest economy nations gdp combined. Which is why looking at the max supply is number one thing you should do.

@arallmuus
Well, odds are basically like that for everything, not just scorers. For example when you see a regular match and Madrid has 1.2 and opponent has 3.8 or whatever, that doesn't mean that Madrid has a chance to win the game that much, it could be around that much, lower, or higher chance to win.

However since it is football, anything could happen and that means Madrid could lose 10-0 as well, sure it is close to impossible but it is there, we never know the real odds because it is not a provably fair dice game we are talking about, it is human game played with humans that could do well or bad and we will never know.

But, the odds are given based on how much people bet on the teams, sportsbooks basically try to create a "rake" system between people who wager on one team versus wager on other team so that they do not lose money.

But in my view, I would say that bitcoin could be the biggest winner because people have been looking at bitcoin a lot more these days. We also became the first one to recover perfectly, that is why I think that was the most important part of corona for us.

If we are talking about nations or type of people, I would say it was perfect for the rich companies and people who bribe countries. Why? Because, they were capable of getting a ton of money and billions of dollars combined that helped them out and they didn't get any trouble at all and they simply continued regular life whereas poor people are not getting the help they need.

That is how rich got richer when there is limited amount of money, countries print out even more and they give a ton to companies and just a tiny bit to poor people so that rich people could get that from poor over time.

It’s not just something that can be caused by a particular factor, but I think a very bad government can lead to the downfall of a nation. When the supposed leaders are not doing what they are meant to do to lead the people to the right direction, then they are definitely heading for a fall.

Some politicians (or should I say all of them? ) are greedy to the core, and they can do anything once they are voted into power to make money before their leaving the office. These kind of people are the ones that are hurting a country, because they are not there to serve, but to destroy what’s left. And in the case of having a huge population, I think a country can still have a good economy despite having a huge population, so that doesn’t really matter (only problem might be there will be lots of poor people).

That is right because anything that is being offered online has seen a pleasure in this disguise situation of corona virus because their sales have been great during this period for example the online shopping has been greatly and positively affected during these times because people cannot do much movement outside so they are ordering things that are delivered to their house.

Apart from these all, I believe online gambling sector has gained tremendous growth in this time because people are so bored that they find nothing bt gamble because even myself I don't gamble as much but now that watching movies is over and there are no better netflix stories left, I am left in a situation where I just roam around the forum and gamble more often than before.

^^When I meant gambling shouldn't be your income, I didn't mean the casino owners, casino staff and so forth, I mean the gamblers themselves, I mean you can't make that your living because you can't keep winning in gambling forever, there will be a time when you will lose and that is what I was trying to go for there. And none of the topics were ever about the casino owners or casino staff, we never even mentioned them, it was always about gamblers who think martingale could help them make a profit.

Obviously gambling should be entertainment and not an income, that is the whole point of my message, that is what I am trying to say here. I gamble because I think it is quite fun to do so, I do not gamble because I think I could make money, that is what every gambler should be aiming at.

But the article mentioned in OP actually shows that various factors like Home Purchases and Air travels have seen a hike and that actually indicates that the economy has at least stated to recover I think. But that said, it is hard to imagine after the BLM and covid-19 how they are suddenly improving the economy when there are so many protests and problems going on.


It's not as simple though because china is known to be a super power in terms of the weapon they have and having India as a face to fight against China might actually back fire for both India and US because there is never an over statement of how powerful China have grown in the years that have gone by and you can understand their economic mechanism that even after the corona virus they are now almost fully recovered.

Actually the best value one can gain from bounty and airdrop coins is if they hold them and let the initial phase pass where all the bounty hunters will sell off their coins and the coin will slowly begin to gain it's value. But the problem here is that most of the coins that are being given away in airdrops are useless and even the developers don't have any plans apart from just wait for exchanges to list them and sell off the coins.

But in rare cases if a genuine and well planned project launched their coin and they give away some coins to bounty hunters to help them promote it, then it is worth to just hold them for some time and you might very well be getting 20-30 times the value you would get if you sold with the initial listing of the coin.

@davinchi There are plenty of ways that a casino could improve itself, there is really no end to what you can call "improvement" because you could basically call everything improvement as long as it is an improvement.

For example, if you can dice a little faster, that is improvement, if the design is a bit better that is improvement, if there is basically anything that is looking or feeling better it is improvement. If you add anything that is improvement, if you remove anything that wasn't wanted that is improvement.

So, there is really no end to what you can call an improvement if you want to. Sure adding new coins and adding new games are huge improvements, those are the big ones that you can use in your marketing campaigns, but the smaller ones are still working as well.

Anything can work. If trading was the best, then I guess everybody in the world will choose to become a trader. You just have to know what works for you and channel your energy towards that direction and put in more hard work and try to succeed. And I think freelancing and trading are two things you can do together. As a freelancer it’s not all the time that you will be having a job to do, so those your free times can be used for trading.

So, you can make freelancing your main business, and trading as another means of income. But, you need to manage your time for both of these more effectively otherwise you might get stuck at one thing by leaving another thing unattended. Because, trading requires continuous watching and if you fail to keep it tracking then no one could help you.

Why not take a break for now and learn those strategies you’re talking about? If someone should recommend a strategy for you to use, you won’t copy and paste it and it starts working immediately, no it requires work and time before you will get perfect. That’s why you have to chill and create a strategy that you believe is going to work for you , and after you have created that strategy you can try to apply it on a few trades and see how it works.

Trading is not something we rush into, you have to relax and sort things out. Slow and steady will definitely get you easy and assured profits in consistent way. There are lots of prescribed methods are available on how to approach cryptocurrency trading; if you follow them then you can easily shine in crypto trading for sure.

There is a HUUUUUUUGE difference between "could have been better but lacks a lot of stuff" to a "failed website". I mean one of them is literally closing down website paying everyone their money back and that's it, they are literally just saying people that they no longer will be existing and they are closing shop. The other part is just continue existing as not a big place that never really got enough attention because they are lacking promotions and care.

Of course we all know that bitdice should be doing more, everybody knows that and that is a given thing, however we can't really say they could be awesome right away neither, even if they do something it will take some. All in all I am just guessing the team is not marketing people but purely software developers who have hard time understanding marketing and just thinks they actually do. That seems to be the trouble.
