2018? That year is really a bad memory, a very sad one that deserve to be mourn, I am sure so many investors will hate 2018 for the losses they experienced during that year and we thank God that 2019 did not take the step of 2018.

This year has really been a better one than the past, and we are still quite early in the year, which means greater things still lies ahead as regards the cryptocurrency. I can count the number of great projects that has lined up for the year pending execution, I think there will be more increase in the price of BTC by the end of the year, so this is also an opportunity for us to invest and wait for other good things ahead.

I have not seen this before but having read your brief summary about it, I took a step to courageously take a look at it and it seems to me that it will really be a very nice project, but all those rewards they are giving will be a temporary one because I can see they are just starting and the site is not that organized.

If they have genuine intention, they have to make the site user friendly, according to them, some users are already using it and until I really get a clear view of it before I can also take a step, so I am waiting for other people’s review, then I will decide if it is worth it or not after testing it.

Only satoshi team member would know who satoshi is, because I believe that he didn’t create the system alone, no matter how genius he may be, it will be impossible for satoshi to create Bitcoin alone, and then if MacAfee claims he know satoshi, then he should have testify to what Craig said.

So you really know all these people, what they just do is to take advantage of his hidden identity to promote themselves, and I wonder if they have really gotten anything much out of the false claims they have been making around the internet. When it is right time for satoshi to reveal his identity, then I am sure he will do so if need be.

Tether is not created for the purpose of making profit because its being controlled and the value does not fluctuate, since tether market is not a volatile market, the only benefit of it are the ones you and I knows, having you money stacked in a safe zone.

It is also very effected as utility token, it is tether that I see can really compete with cash and banks. The principal use of tether is use to keep ones coin value from other tokens without having to change it to fiat when the market is going down, I think tether is more beneficial to traders too, not in profit making but in terms of the services being rendered by it.

I think the clearest reason is when a company gets too big just bitcointalk is never enough. Stake is not a "bitcointalks favorite casino" anymore, it is much bigger, which means they need to do twitter promotions and they need to do instagram ones and eventually discord ones too. That is why they are trying to bring in people to other places because they are getting gamblers out of bitcointalk too and they want to combine this place and outside together in many places to see what they can actually do and how they are outside of this zone as well.

They know in bitcointalk they are seen as one of the best if not the best casino but they want to test out outside and see how they fair as well. When you write "bitcoin casino" on google they are one of the highest ranked ones out there which means a lot.

Unfortunately that is so true. Having a good reputation of "being legit and not scamming people" is really important in crypto space. It should not be like that but unfortunately it is. Think about it, this is a space we are accustomed to seeing people getting scammed and people stealing money from gamblers and just saying "we got hacked" and run away with the money without anything happening to them. So we are here talking about how "normal" freebitcoin is actually, they are not doing anything bad and that is enough for us to really trust them with all our money because they had so much money in their power and never even attempted to postpone a withdraw let alone actually steal anyone's money. Whoever tries to talk about freebitcoin and somehow they are scammers will find all of us against them, we trust freebitcoin not because they do something weird, they are just "decent humans" which we all yearn to see constantly and which is why we love them.

I think you should make that withdrawal thing with crypto instead of with wagered number. For example instead of 99 wagered hands it should be something like 0.01 in order to withdraw or so. That way it could be 1000 hands that doesn't reach there or it could be 1 hand that doubles it and it would make it fair for all that plays.

I don't know much about affiliates except few other places but those places do it like that, if you have withdraw fee at like 0.0001 for example than you need to make it 0.001 like x10 of the fee and than if my affiliates break that number than I can withdraw it. It just feels like more reachable if the amount is in bitcoin instead of number of hands. My guy could play like 1 hand for 1 bitcoin (I know highly unlikely for the first ever hand) but with this system I would get a single satoshi for it.

If you have to do this, it must not be in just anyhow coin, you have to invest in coins that you are very sure of, even if it is one, the coin might be worth more than every other coins available out there when the price pumps, it all depends on the project and the value it is adding to the market.

For me, if it is only bitcoin that I have, I would not regret it no matter what people say, because I am sure bitcoin is able to give me in future what 20 coins cannot give me, so why stress and bother myself over those coins that will keep giving me heart attack over my investment.

Even if you report them, the deed has been done and it will be like medicine after death, the money has already been transferred to them and no amount of name damage will affect them, they will only change the name, come up with another project, do the same thing and run.

I keep advising people to only participate in any bounty campaign by first looking at the history of the campaign manager, you check the series of projects he has carried out in the past, check the percentage of its success to its failure to decide if the campaign coming from such manager can be trusted, otherwise, we will keep wasting time on projects that will never pay us.

Trying to reply to game-protect is a futile attempt, I have been around for years now and I have been seeing him everywhere in all casino topics and I have never seen him say "oh okay this one is good", he has always been hating on all casinos and never really accepting any casino to be decent at all.

He seem to have some places he promotes because of legal things but even he doesn't write on their topic, he just likes to say how much he hates all casinos and say how illegal all casinos are. That is why I honestly think talking with him is not the right way to go because he will answer you, however if he asks something and you ignore him and do not reply he can write only few more things however in the end since he won't be getting any replies he will just leave, if you keep writing to him than he has a reason to stay around. Stop replying to him and eventually he will leave  .

I agree with the doge deal as well, after all the most important thing for people who wager is not losing money and if we are losing money by just moving around and not even while we lose the bets than we can clearly say that we want that changed.

Bitcoin does cost a lot to move around so there is not much you can do about it so the best course of action would be finding coins that would help the customers get money move around with cheap stuff and doge is the cheapest it literally the only way to move money around without paying anything, it is literally fractions of a cent, its not even 1 cent to withdraw money with doge so that would be a glad edition but I think any similar coin would be fine as well it doesn't have to be doge, just any fast and cheap would help out a lot.

Of course, we have lots of exchanges and sites aside the one he even mentioned that offers trading demo, you can also check all these brokers sites like FOREX brokers, I think they allow crypto trading now, and they have an MT4 trading platform that you can use to trade, so all it requires is for you to create a demo account and not a live account, with demo account, I believe you are entitled to trading with some dummy amount till you perfect your skills.

This is what I usually advise most people who are new to trading to do first before entering a live trade.

You have said it all, the Op might just have to compete with some exchanges, because when it comes to trading fee, I am not so sure he will be able to compete with some exchanges like Binance, before he will be able to talk of low trading fee, he must have really gotten enough volume that will assist him in deciding on reducing the fee, which usually take lots of years.

Anyway, he can compete with other attributes, such as the ones you mentioned and I am sure that if he tries his best, the sky might decide to favor him and be his limit.

You are right, photograph will also be good but I think identity is easier changed in a photograph than video, I think this will be a very great idea, and if their identity is known, what is stopping them from being apprehended.

I am sure they all live in a country and with their identity; we should be able to track them down if I am right. If we can trace them to their country, they can be reported to the law even if cryptocurrency is yet to be captured under legal document but at least, scam is scam and should not be entertained by any authority no matter the mean at which they are being done.

What more research can investors do other than the ones they are doing already and yet still getting scammed, Most of the activities surrounding investing in ICO are being done over the internet, and even if you have to verify anything, it cannot be done physically.

The use of whitepaper is no longer effective and even if you talk directly with them, the scammers no longer even care if we get to know them or not, that is why you see some of these projects blacklisting IP of countries that they feel will easily find out about their whereabouts. The best to do now is to probably have a link to the country where the project reside and get a friend or someone to help verify them.

I understand it is unfair to regular bounty hunters, but their little they can do, it is just like the captain of a class in a school, for the fact that he is a captain doesn’t exempt him from following the rules of the school, the only difference between him and his class mate is just that he has been delegated to control things but not formulate policies.

Bounty managers are not the ones formulating these KYC requirements but rather project developers who gave them the project to manage and I think they don’t have much influence over their policies. Although they can advise against it, but it is left for the developer to take it or not and not obliged to do so.

You are right, we cannot solely rely on these whitepaper any more, even if the whitepaper discloses what such project aim to achieve and its objective, it might still be all lies as they just do that to convince people into investing, although it is not all whitepaper that does this, we still have lots of whitepapers in the market that I have seen what the projects is all about and could vouch for it.

Using whitepaper, we should still be able to have the discernment spirit, no matter how promising the coin may look.
We need to start looking for something else that is other than whitepaper that could help conclude on the genuinely of the project and of the developers too.

I think this $6000 mark has become fact, because virtually every place I have read prediction all point out to $6000 soon, I am sure it wont be long before we see this value, hopefully by the start of next week. No one can really tell exactly the peak of BTC when it goes on bull run, the $50000 is possible and it may even go far above that, depending on the things that happens now, the year might really not be too strong to accommodate that price but I am sure within the next 2 years.

The bulls would have gathered enough energy to push the market to reach such value within the next 2 years; we need to just focus our mind on a long term investment, the longer our investment stays in BTC market, the more increase we will get over time.

I do not doubt that fact that adoption is happening in large scale but that is happening within peer to peer but we need massive adoption from countries themselves, we cannot compare the adoption rate we have now to that of when a country fully adopt it which will automatically increase the number of users.

There are lots of people and lots of institutions who are very much interested in the cryptocurrency system, including banks, but they are still scared of adopting it because of the backup of government they are yet to get, that will assist them in applying it to their daily functions, so we need larges countries, so we can see a very effective system.

Tell them please, instead of getting frustrated over things that we cannot reverse, we can just look for a way to work around it. There are lots of projects that are available pout there that doesn’t ask for any KYC from us, we can just focus on those ones If we are not okay with KYC, or like you said, we should do good research to know a good project before investing.

I like this clause because it will make a lot of people sit up, so many of us just participating in any ICO we see and promoting scams will learn to do a lot of research, now that they have a requirement that could work against us in future, so if we don’t want our document to get into the wrong hands, we better study the project very well before making input.
