I do agree with not all predictions to be believed and they are just "estimations" and by just one person so not believing one person is a good idea in crypto. If you do, then you are going to make their trades for them and would be basically their workers with your own money so it is totally understandable.

However, saying 70k is not the reason to not trust someone, we were 68k+, close to 69k and many people round it out to 70k, I do it sometimes as well and say we reached 70k ATH and yes I know we didn't reach that but I just like to round up to make it saying ATH easier, saying 68.5k is a lot more weird and just saying 70k straight up makes it easier. Otherwise I do agree with you on not trusting someone from bitcointalk, not even me I would say myself, I just wanted to correct the idea of saying 70k since it is such a close call.

I am "sort of" like that, I mean sometimes I make a debt and still do not cash out my investments, I rather keep them waiting there and making me profit. I believe that if I spend my investment instead of making a debt then I would just not reinvest that, so instead of spending 1000 from my investment and putting it back 100 dollars each for 10 months, I take a debt and pay it and then pay 120 bucks per month for 10 months (or 100 for 12 months) and yes I am spending more that way but I am also hoping that it will be much more with my investment growing eventually so I would be in profit.

Extra is that, I would probably spend that money and not invest it so I would be left with no debt but no investment at all. This way I push myself to pay the debt because otherwise what you gonna do? Not pay your debt to bank? They will take it somehow anyway.

Imagine demo trading, it is not real money and you do not end up with that much in the end. This way you will end up with learning while trading with the real market but fake money instead of real money. It is not an easy thing to learn, and yes even when you are great at demo trading that doesn't mean that you will be great at real trading neither.

However, what we are trying to achieve here is not that you could become great trader via demo or paper trading, it is that you would be better than someone who never traded before and started real trading as the first thing. Just make it a bit better, understand things a bit better and that's how you become better at it as well. Compared to someone who never did it and starting right off the bat, demo traders at least gain a tiny bit more experience and that is why they "may" have better results in the short span, then they all become equals anyway.

People are not really interested in "working" for money neither, we can make a lot of money by working anytime we want and that is not really a problem. I have to say that the best case in crypto is that there are multiple ways that you could make money without working.

The thing is, if we all have a job, a career, and we wear our suits or whatever and go work for someone else and earn a paycheck every month, we could live a life, sure it could be either good or bad but it would be guaranteed income and we would know how much we would make with our work.

There is absolutely nobody who got rich enough to be wealthy just by earning a salary, even CEO's of the biggest companies do not get wealthy that way, they get stocks to get rich or do not get rich at all. So that means you need to earn money even when you are sleeping and that is how you get rich. These people are looking at exactly that, sure chatting and earning is fine, do that if you want to there is nothing wrong with that, but staking and earning the same amount means I could make a profit when I am asleep, and that is the path to wealth.

I will do recommend it to anyone who wants to just play blackjack. Yes there are millions of people out there who wants the casino experience, they want to gamble in many different places and that's fine, if you want to play in 20 different games, 50 different slots or whatever then yes this is not the place for you. However, if you really want to play blackjack and that's it, and you want to do it in crypto, I can't think of any other place in whole of crypto that has it as good as this place does.

Not just about the promotions or wagering competitions or anything like that, it is just that the game is pure perfect and there is nothing wrong with it and it is by far the most fun you can get out of blackjack. These guys are also not leaving any customers behind, if you ever have to talk to support (which is rare because they are great) then you will know they are as quick as lightning when it comes to helping people out.

CMC is good for checking the rankings of these coins but the reality is that you can't make a decision based on checking just those information. I get that it is definitely a good idea to check it before you invest, but not to make up your mind, just to make sure you are doing the right thing. You need to first find the good coins that you should invest somewhere else, make your research and meanwhile researching about it then you can check CMC as well, but not for finding good coins or tokens.

I personally check the news, whenever one coin gets too much news about it, then it means there are people talking about it as well and it could be hyped to a higher price soon. After finding it via the news, I start to check and research everything about it that I could. This is how I make my investments, and I rarely ever invest into anything outside of top 50 as well to make sure I invest into good stuff.

I feel like it is just manipulation that they like to do, there is really nothing that makes sense anymore. Sure it looks like it is going to be a bear market time to time but I can't really say for sure. I feel like maybe china could do it as you said, but what if people assume it is china but it is done by someone else.

I have heard all the stories about how Chinese government CCP ends up buying shit ton of short futures and then create a big news about how it is illegal to even own bitcoin and then it crashes and they make so much profit and they just wait a year or so and then repeat the task. I mean thinking back there has been so many "china banned crypto" type of news, if it is banned then it is banned, how many times can you really ban something? This is why I do agree that all of it could be manipulation and maybe it is all fake.

I doubt that the return to 55k could be resulted with that if we include the hype involve right now. The year is ending and whenever people are getting closer to something like that, they end up getting excited about it. Consider it like a reverse panic sell. Whenever there is a price fall, it could be regarding ANY reason at all, there are also people who panic sell, and the number of them do not grow smaller because even though old "newbies" become veterans eventually, there are also brand new newbies that end up doing it again and again until they become veterans.

Same goes out for bitcoin prices going up, the moment it starts to go up, there is a "panic buy" or whatever you want to call it and people jump into the bandwagon hoping that they could get rich and that usually end up being not so much profitable at all for them but they still do it every single time. This will cause it to not drop under 50k if it starts to go up too much, people will turn it into a bull run.

I do not agree with this, I agree with the part that there are tons of people who are greedy and want to gamble in stuff they can get paid very quickly, but this place doesn't offer it for a limited time only. So, let’s say there is a bet that you will get the results 100 days later, you could also wager 99 days later and that means you are going to wait just 1 day. That is the type of deal those people could do and in that case they will not be waiting for too long.

Most bets are closed only 24 hours prior, or maybe less, and those are the bets greedy and impatient people could gamble. On top of that there are tons of people like me who do not mind waiting for a bet to happen, I could just wager and wait for the results anytime, could be in 24 hours for a soccer game, could be 200 days for an election result, it is all the same to me and I do not care.

I have been using Opera browser with VPN on for years now and I have not faced any problems. I have probably wagered way more than what is required for me to be fine, I do not have any multi accounts, and it doesn't stop you getting fair and legit affiliate marketing neither, I put up banners in some places with my link and I got a steady income from that, wasn't really worth keeping it on forever because sometimes it was very profitable and sometimes it was nothing but it was legit and I was doing it all with my VPN on.

It is important to be not doing anything against the rules, if you stay within the rules and never break them, then you are not going to have a problem just because you have your VPN open, I can vouch for that.

Day's first session will be challenging hence I will not be surprised if I need to see that England to be losing all their remaining 8 wickets in two sessions. Still, if Australia need to chase anything beyond 250 runs then I guess England will get chances to take the lead of this Ashes series. I guess playing like counter attack will help any batsman for better scoring and we have already seen Head cracked a century that way. I guess we can expect expect a cameo from Ben Stokes to turn this match on England favour but Australia will not give up that easily hence we can expect more exciting test cricket days for next 2 days if weather allows.

There are fortunate and unfortunate situations here at a same time like, all the usual strategies are applicable to slot machines fortunately but unfortunately I am sure none of them will be profitable to you in any means. So, just playing slots for killing your boredom or to make fun with your friends may help you. If you go for finding a strategy for slots then you may miss all the funs of playing slots with friends.

You are concerned about only physical casino, it seems from your questions but when it comes about online slots then there will be no point of heavily played one or anything related to that (as per my understanding most people here are having only access to online casino hence experiencing real slot machines is not at all possible for gambler like myself.).

Indeed, I will not prefer playing with crypto casinos with open accusation here on bitcointalk community. People from this forum are knowledgeable enough to judge and provide right trust score and feedback so I guess we can easily rely on them to finalize whether we can play on one casino or not.

All the above, I am always conscious about all the regulations of any casino. Because, we need to bind to rules anywhere and when it comes about money related then we need to be more careful than ever.

Gen Z is called to people who were born a bit before 2000 and a bit after 2010, thats the age we are going to have voters, probably already did in most nations many times already. Which means that we are talking about old enough people to who either go to college or even maybe early in their first job. Mark Zuckberger started facebook when he was just 18-19 or something like that right? Maybe not every GEN Z will become a millionaire thanks to bitcoin, but it is surely possible for some of them to do that.

Imagine a few rich parents giving some money to their kids, they are capable of investing that into crypto, do that in 2019 and do it until 2022 and we are talking about so many chances to become millionaires from just a few thousand dollars. Plus, they are capable of building their own tokens as well, they are hyped about it and that means we are talking about making some profit by selling their own tokens or NFT's these days. It is totally possible, not all of them have 10 bucks.

I would say that it all starts with one MP, then it would get bigger and bigger and bigger. Why do you think politicians end up taking a stance on some policies all of a sudden? Something that wasn't talked for decades, suddenly becomes a very big talking point? That is because if the MP that says something ends up getting a ton of votes, that usually results with a great deal of other MP's to change their view in order to get more votes as well. That is what we are talking about here, we want to see people get a great deal of profit with the help of their government and politicians will realize supporting this will get them votes.

I have to be honest I never heard of Tonga before, but I believe that wherever that place is, the same logic of getting popular equals more love from voters probably is still the same with every other nation in the world.

Exchanges do matter a lot , but sometimes there are projects that the devs wouldn't have enough money to afford launching their coins or tokens on a big exchange like Binance and the rest of them, so they might just decide to start with small exchange to at least get started and not keep their investors worried about the project.

So, it's a thing of whether the project is good enough, if they are really good, then the exchange might not really be a problem at all, as with time they are going to launch it on bigger exchanges once they have gotten the money that is need for them to be able to do that kind of thing. Although the good thing about being launched on a bigger exchanges is that it shows that the project is less likely to fail.

I don't know, I mean are we sure about that? I feel like there is a good chance that whatever you reach at Binance is the place you reach at the maximum. If we are getting delisted there (which USDT still stands so no problem so far) then how could other places be any more of a help? This is binance we are talking about and if you are good at binance then you are good, if you are not good at binance then you are not good.

This is why I believe that there is a good case that no matter where we get listed could possibly change anything, we just need to realize that. Fun token is a good project, and it will probably even profit people, but just not be something that is like a top 10 or anything ever, accept it the way it is and you will do better.

You know, it is quite nice how El Salvador keep advancing everything that they have done. At first I thought that it was just going to be an ordinary Bitcoin adoption and that’s all, I’m surprised to see that they keep working hard and bringing up new ways and ideas on how they would move forward with their adoption of Bitcoin.

I’m seriously hoping that someday that this is going to benefit them, and I know that for sure, that it is going to happen. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that has a chance of increasing in value in future, and imagine in no distant future when it will be worth far more than what it is today, El Salvador will be one of those few countries that will be benefiting very well from it, and that’s because they have taken the lead earlier before others.

I doubt everyone approaches it the same way. For example I believe that we should not be focusing on gambling that way at all, I don't even check where I am in vip level, I just gamble the way I do and if I happen to hit a VIP level during my gambling then it is a good surprise for me. That is all we should be focusing on, we should be gambling the way we want and not the way casinos want. They can talk about responsible gambling all they want and could ban people who want to, but they will also try to get you to gamble more than you could afford to lose as much as they can, why? Because that is literally the whole business idea, to take your money in mathematically guaranteed way for them.

This doesn't make any casino bad, they are great source of entertainment, stake is one of the places I have the most fun in my life, it is amazing, only if you careful play and do not lose a lot.

That type of increase proved us something very crucial, we could be as hopeless as it gets and something crazy could happen anyway. I personally believe that we could raise to 100k in 3 months and it would not be shocking to me, or we could not go up until next year and that would be understandable as well. Bitcoin is "capable" of doing anything it wants, meaning we as the investors are capable of whatever we want.

If we all wanted to increase the price, there are so many USDTs in the market that if all of that went into bitcoin and other altcoins then we would be not only 100k, but probably 200 or 300k. Obviously not all of that would go into bitcoin, but even a portion of it invested into btc would change the price significantly. There is nothing stopping people from doing it, will they do it? We do not know, but the possibility of it is there.
