Forex trade is actually the exchange of one country's currency at a certain rate with that of another country and these days, forex trade is no longer tied to trading with fiat, most brokers now also accept some cryptos as base currency, since cryptos are also currencies - digital.

One won't be out of place to say crypto trade is also a form of forex trade, because they both share a lot in common. Crypto trading, however is not structured around margin/leverage trading as is prevalent with forex trading. In terms of stability, forex trade is relatively stable because they are well capitalized and more liquid than cryptos and  which makes pumping and dumping a phenomenon with cryptos, nevertheless both are manipulable one way or the other.

Have just downloaded the demo version and testing it out, a lot needs figuring out! AT ANY RATE, I think it has the making of an utility trading tool to make analysis and automation come easier. Want to know if there is provision to add custom indicators and strategies? Can the guys using the paid version air their experience here?

Understanding that we can't never rake in the profits from every move the market makes is the beginning of our journey into effective and profitable trading. What's more, profitable trading opportunities will always abound, all that needs done, is to be able to identify and take some share before they're up and gone. Help is usually at hand in technical analysis, especially in the areas that render clues about oversold and overbought market conditions.

Of course predicting the exact date for a pump or dump is beyond anyone's ability and the multitude of coins doesn't help matters. Nevertheless we can still hazard a way around it by following and observing the trend of pump and dump. I have observed that even shitcoins do get pumped though their dump are often terminal.

The suggestion is, we can ride the waves by buying a selected number of altcoins - some cheap and shitcoins especially as they are coming out fresh from the mint and more of some stable altcoins. Then Hodl and keeping tab with news at their various sites and general development in the ecosystem. Must add that patience and commitment are essential to have this work and then one cannot catch every nickle that shows up in the market. Best bet is to always take profit after a reasonable increase in price, the market is not about to end and there will always be other opportunities!

I sense you ain't telling yourself the truth - you didn't lose or failed to become a rich kid all because of day trading, must be you ventured into it with little or no knowledge and skills and those are more or less indispensable to be able to find one's feet in the market. Holding is really no strategy and requires no skills at all and that's the reason it is particularly appealing  to newbies and those hard at understanding how to trade. As a matter of fact, much more stands to be earned with a combination of trading and Hodling for the trader that knows what to and when.

 I think this competition is more appealing than the highest wager competition, but why there are so many "Dicerlossers' in the list and they were all registered, same day, 12 days ago? Is that a single player with multiple accounts or a syndicate working to fill in every available spot?

Other than that, outcome of casinos cannot be easily predicted as could be possible with proper analysis of sport events. Moreover outcome of casinos can so easily be manipulated by unscrupulous casino owners, with sport, the incidence of match rigging are less frequent.

If it were quite easily said and done, most casinos and gambling sites would have closed shop by now, but the reverse has been the case because casinos understand they have upper hand and  player cannot help their greed and illusion that the next bet would surely be a winning bet!

The worst mistake gamblers do is to assume that whatever strategy that have won a couple of times in the past will continue to win unending - as a matter of fact, no one system wins all the time, because the house have edge over every player.

That is the unmistakable reason casinos take their time in employing beautiful ladies! Looking at them, most players are sure to lose focus in their presence and that would be the gain of the casino. As for going to a casino with ladies, I think it is capable of prompting the guys to bet more and even high rolls in order to impress the ladies, because money is essential to take care of ladies!

It should be obvious that China does not hate Bitcoin and have no plans to ban it neither is the fear of its use for illegal activities strong enough reason to give up on their lifelong pursuit of master minding one of the world's reserve currencies especially as it has failed to do as much with Yuan. What China desperately need is control,control and control and every thing they have done is geared towards achieving that. Unfortunately however, Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general are not the best of candidates for their scheme.

This is a newbie account and with suggestions of having tens of thousand of Bitcoin and asking for possibilities for cashing out! First thing first, how did you come into that much?

Be sure to have proofs, most exchanges are going to insist on verification of id and address, which is normal if you have nothing to hide, but in case you do have something to hide, withdrawal of huge amounts (crypto to fiat) will always raise a red flag and don't fool yourself into thinking your transactions would be anonymous!

I would rather we realized that banks are really not the enemy of Bitcoin, they're businesses out to make profits which ever way they can, only they have to constantly look over their shoulders, not to offend their masters - the central banks! Most of the central bank are the arch enemy of Bitcoin and anyone here that doesn't know yet, deserves not to be here in the first place!


Bitcoin have proven to be a very speculative tool and I would be taken aback if the banks could afford to sit on the fence, watching such profit making opportunity to pass-by.

As for manipulating the market, that's nothing new and it mustn't  take a bank to do so, even if you and I have millions of Bitcoin, our sell and buy orders will likewise jolt the market, but then that would only last for just a while and the market soon absorbs that constrain and move on. That is a reason we should all be doing our own bits to maintain a healthy and robust community, where decentralization is our most formidable weapon.

You need to update your ideas about Bitcoin:

1. the limited amount of Bitcoin is an advantage and not a disadvantage and would always make Bitcoin scarce and more valuable;

2. Bitcoin already is used internationally and that is one of the purpose it was created;

3. at no time would everyone convert their cash into digital money as both digital money and cash have their roles in the society.

The governments uses their local currencies as of the tools to control people and which is some Bitcoin denies then, so I strongly doubt the governments in their numbers are going to hand over their economy to a technology they're not in any position to effectively monitor and control. Of a fact, we're never going to hear the last of any fiat currency, because those are actually symbols for the various countries they stand for.

I quite agree with your take, the Bitcoin we see today is far more resolute and resilient than the Bitcoin we knew couple of years back. It has actually been through a lot and the fact, it came out of it all more formidable have endeared it to many.

And yes, an end to hard fork of the network is not in sight, many more will happen, but what's good news is that Bitcoin core is unwilling to shift its grounds and it will always remain the one and only Bitcoin.

There already are petitions for Bitcoin at Amazon, however I think Dogecoin can stand a chance too, given its near discrete nature, very low transaction fees and of course, fast confirmation time.

At the end of the day, digital currencies requires to be compared to physical money to get a feel of what it is worth and its conversion to real money becomes inevitable to meet up certain needs. Put in another way, cryptocurrencies were not created to make real money go extinct, rather the real idea behind their creation is to end up getting a better combination of the two.

A variety of stores accepting Bitcoin would be a worthwhile business idea if it would be able to meet the yearning of many bitcoiners. Have you thought about how to manage the fluctuations in the value of Bitcoin and transaction costs? Those two can make or mar your business, so it is not something to be treated as an afterthought, when thinking up any business that plans to support Bitcoin as payment option.

It is as you said, legalization or not, Bitcoin is here to stay and will without fail, keep breaking even more barriers. As far as Bitcoin is concerned, legalization is not absolutely necessary, though when it is, it becomes easier for high networth individuals as well as corporate institutions to bring in their money with some level of assurance and expectation. These increase in demand of Bitcoin is actually what is the impressive value of Bitcoin.

That is right, Slot games unlike many other casino games are 100% dependent on luck, there is no known strategy or ways to gain any advantage over the house other than hopes that one could run into some luck! I however have a preference for games that a player should be able to create some advantage for himself/herself by reducing the house edge.
