I've been a fan of Electrum (an online wallet), just because it gives me ease of use technology and a factual possibility of sending my BTC instantly to anybody on-the-go as I sometimes use to gamble around $10-$20 and this also gives me an opportunity to send this less amount of BTC with least fee possible, so it's better to use an online wallet over an offline one because you'll need more time to get your BTC on the table while having your control on your keys through an online wallet like Electrum which is secure enough, you can utilize both the security and speed of BTC.

I believe there's nothing wrong in believing in a trader as being an investor, it's your first responsibility to trust your trader or else why'd you actually invest? Are you donating? No, right? The fact is, crypto markets are volatile enough to make your capital go zeroed out in no time if the trader gets into greed to quickly make more profits while having an opportunity by having those funds from investors. Trust me, that's how the mentality becomes when a trader gets other's funds. The thing is, even if an investor is interested in investing some of their money in a trader's strategy or trading itself, the trader should not just consist all the skills alone but also have some extra funds in backup, so to clear things up if anything goes wrong.

It's truly not a good idea to keep someone else's funds and trade as my experience had been bitter on this matter.

Btw TL;DR this thread, can you share the type of markets you'll be trading in? Is it Forex? If yes, then you can have a PAMM account and ask your friend to create a PAMM investor account and ask him to invest in your account directly where you can already set up your fees, your profit sharing percentages and minimum deposit.

If it's about crypto, I believe I haven't heard of any brokers providing such a feature like PAMM, you'll yourself need to calculate things as you mentioned in OP.

Cloud mining? Did you say cloud mining? F[_]¢[{ Off.
It's been an old-school technique now in order to scam newbies and they literally won't fall for such shit schemes after reading this - Cloudmining 101

It's true that slots have an edge over dice when it comes to winning, but the weird truth is, slots need more luck than anything on the table out there for you to hit those big numbers and win an awesome amount. I played one game a few days back but didn't hit more than 40x and after that, I lost even that 40x due to just betting it continuously and not winning/winning 1/3rd mostly for the exact amount of spins.

I believe it was (and is still) a do or die situation for Watford and they've done it. They played well.

BTW, I'm rather betting on some interesting T10 cricket leagues from Europe, Czech and Australia. They had been the easiest bets TBH and win ratio had been much higher compared to soccer nowadays because sometimes no team wins in it and we lose due to draw. I just don't like hedging my bets with an additional bet called Draw or just a combined one.

Dude, it's granted already before which is why they came up with this thread showing what they've taught to their students.

@OP, please include types of trading and gambling sections too (if allowed) in order to make those students aware of the fact that this asset class is too volatile and it is only good for those who don't overleverage.  It's also better if you put down the list of various types of mining equipment which changed from time to time for BTC and make them understand what it takes now to become a successful miner, now that BTC halving took place.

First of all, please link the source from where you took the logo of PayPal. Another thing, yes it will make a major difference if PayPal really gets into crypto as this had been waited for so long and their community is vast, so giving everyone a chance to take the advantage of both traditional and digital currencies at one platform will definitely give a boost to the crypto economy and make the total marketcap of the overall crypto spiked up (with BTC and other major alts that get listed over there, being a top priority).

I'm from India and I know the level of tensions going on between both the countries but you also can't deny the fact that taking the advantage of Coronavirus pandemic where everyone is busy thinking how to save their lives from it, China is just trying to invade some parts (specific areas) of Ladakh and trying to get in through our boundaries, breaking their agreements. I don't believe we played a political move here by boycotting the import of Chinese products as who knows, they'll just start sending Coronavirus through their products in order to increase the pandemic ratio in India knowing that it's 2nd largest in terms of population?

None of the exchanges would give you all the eggs (alts) under one roof and that's because each and every exchange out there has its own standards of measuring a coin's ability to be listed on that exchange or not. But as given by members, merge-trading is possible in order to save you the hassle of visiting each trading exchange and opening up a trade one-by-one at a time.

Actually I never told anyone not to trade for too long a term, but I said that just spectate whenever you are unsure of the markets and biased about the ongoing situation. Missing a trade could help rather than going in for that trade with bigger the size due to greed. And keeping it lower from the start (like max 3-7% of your total portfolio per trade) and having a trailing stop in order to move your stop loss from SL zone to TP (take profit) zone helps you a lot in preserving a trade in a much better way.

Relying completely on BTC for all your daily needs and stuff?
I'd say a straight no to this as there's no such possibility for BTC and the whole cryptocurrencies yet to handle the whole world at a stretch because of their least prices and uncertain distribution, while another thing is that cash is still available digitally which is why BTC won't really be a big deal for any consumer out there.

Hey, first of all, congratulations to you as you just stole my dream. Trust me, I've had a daydream a few days back in which I had the exact same bet amount and I won slightly higher than you, i.e.; BTC200 but my bad, it was only a dream.  

I believe that BitCasino had been a highly reputed and trustworthy gambling website but your win seems to be a number that they possibly won't be able to afford or manage. I think that you'll be asked for a settlement in the end, but who knows that if you're lucky enough in terms of getting the whole amount withdrawn to your BTC address, do remember us and shower some rains here hehe... /jk  

https://www.buybitcoinworldwide.com/who-accepts-bitcoin/

While you were searching for almost everything, these are a few major companies that accept Bitcoin and allow you to spend them at their place while also giving you some great discounts for doing so. The list is probably the latest one and it's for those specifically who are willing to know about some companies from where they can usually purchase almost everything from food supply to industrial stuff and whatnot.

I know that and I never said that it's all about earning bucks but learning from our mistakes and not repeating it. Another thing is that if we trade with patience and don't get into too many frequent trades, then I believe that it could save us from losing our funds if you talk about focus, as then it's not about earning but prevention of loss.


I didn't come to the point of shorting or leverage/margin trading yet. If you were to talk on this, the subject will become such an argumentative debate that we'll just try to bother each other hard on just one topic, i.e.; shorting. TBH, margin trading and leverage trading are more riskier compared to trading alts normally. Another thing, these types of trades have limited options available so it's better not to touch them if you don't really know what exactly are you doing (this is for those specifically who just jump into leverage trading at 100x and cry later).

Who says you can't know that? Yes you can, but it takes a bit of time. You can just use your brain by watching only lower timeframes on charts such as 15m, 30m, 1h. These will show you that from where it started to spike and you can easily calculate the gains by just subtracting the current value of the token with the value it started going up from.


Nothing is too hard if patience is kept at that time because if you've set a rule and have your instinct saying that the price won't cross above 60% and you bought in when price was already showing +20%, then I believe you shouldn't even wait for +60% but should get out of the trade at +50%, which will make it around 25% profit for you. You should get out of the trade earlier or else FOMO will just kill the opportunity to even break even when it starts falling and you keep hoping.

@deisik, you're in to make dough? Really?
I mean getting dumped down by several investors of a project would really help if you were in the trade itself? It's sometimes better just to spectate instead of getting into a trade and losing. Even if you lose a %, you lost a few bucks and vice versa.

And @spike420211, neither way can you really dictate nor decide to go for n number of trades before stopping because as I said, every single person uses a different approach towards his/her trades with a completely different or maybe same strategy but what matters is the size of the portfolio you are using in terms of % that you'll put in that trade. Some traders lose too much that they end up getting their capital exhausted and that's why I said this that you should spectate only when not sure about your trade. To those taking it towards wrong way by saying that it could take them months and even years to decide whether to get into a trade or not? My suggestion for them is to just sit back and never trade because it's their disability to find assured trades then.

Hey, your English is too good to make me believe that you're a genuine business man. Please let me know where should I send you the coins, man! Hah, I'll just be waiting on my 2.5x till then, 2 months right? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how may I lose it? Post your BTC address immediately and I'll send you the coins right now! /sarcasm

Yeah, that's why I said that the time to get out of the trade is what matters here as in most cases, those who FOMO'ed in, do it when the price rises just around 10-20% and they have got higher chances of gaining some good profits compared to those getting in when it's already high at around 50-100%. The buy side gets exhausted and that's when you need to start getting out of your position immediately because you rarely get the chance to sell during the exhaustion period.

Unlike many other gamblers out there who would take a casino's welcome offers, I'd rather look for the casino, and if it is my type, then I'd definitely pass those welcome offers or bonuses. The reason is, I don't feel so lucky when it comes to meeting wagering requirements to be able to withdraw my bonus.
