Cryptocurrency is really bring with it so many changes. Most especially the banks will be worried that cryptocurrency is now creating a means for people to bypass their services, they are really not going to be happy with this if they should see the population shifting towards, since the transactions we make is their means of making income, they charge us card fees, check fees and other fees, which is their way of earning money. Now cryptocurrency is changing that. And as for the government, I don’t know what kind of way this is going to influence it.

Moreover, for those "futures", we might need to wait a bit which could be longer than we do imagine. I am just speculating based on what most governments are doing against cryptocurrencies and how most common people are still expecting their government to take initiative on cryptos so that they will adopt it with zero risk. That is not the way a decentralized environment needs to be working. You must understand the power of decentralization and then adopt it regardless of what your family/employer/government says about it.

To be sincere, the poster has got a point here lol. Even as a newbie I was always sceptic about things that talks about money.
I can remember a lot of people who would come through my DM on Facebook then and be talking about some schemes they claim will help me make if I put money them.

I usually question the strategy, and I ask myself a lot of questions before anything, and I don’t forget my friend Google, was always helpful in those days; although even I didn’t have to do research, I don’t think I was ready to put penny in a anything. People have to be careful and not be in a hurry to make money all the time.

I also saw the tweet on Twitter, wasn’t on Elon Musk page, but on Bill Gates’ Twitter and I didn’t need anyone to tell me that his account was hacked and it was a scam. Later I got to discover through the media that it wasn’t just Elon Musk and Bill Gates, a lot of celebrities were hacked and that includes Kanye West and his wife Kim, Joseph R. Biden Jnr., Barack Obama, and others.

And of course there were lots of people that fell for it, I got to learn that the hackers received around $100,000.People should know that celebrities can’t do this kind of sh*t, telling you to send $1000 to receive double lol. It’s time they learn to be careful.

I believe that apart from investing your money in Bitcoin you have other Business you’re doing or maybe you’re working in an office. So, do you ever see that business as boring just because you’re not the only one that’s into that Business?

Because, I know for sure that you can’t be the only one. If it’s a restaurant, there are so many restaurants out there that you will have to be competing with, but you never say that it’s boring since that’s your means of income. That’s the same with this cryptocurrency/Bitcoin, it’s not going to get boring, it’s like a business.

That is correct but from a gambler's perspective why would you even want to risk any amount when other trusted casinos are there running smoothly and either the new casino has some unique games or it is operating at a lower house edge, which I mean how low one can go when the market standard is already 1% house edge.

Any latest casino that enters the market needs to understand that there should be something unique about them otherwise why would a gambler leave their regular casino and visit you? And we all know that the gambler base is pretty limited in crypto and it is being already captured by few big casinos so either you bring something new and disrupt the gambling industry or you operate at almost 0 house edge which lures players to think about playing at a new casino.

Yes and if you sell as soon as the coin hit exchanges then you are the one who would regret if it ever goes to any better price so this is a cycle of dilemma that can't be helped and bounty people can do nothing around this cycle they have to just work and try to hope the coin gives them the best value when it hit exchanges because that is the time when most of them will sell off.


And holding a coin that us being sold in the exchange like dust is hard because from my experience most of the alt coins have a limited life cycle where they will be significant for a very small time period and then once the value starts to drop it just never gets back up at all because there is no plans and no one is working for the project once they get their ICO satisfied.

Please do not get yourself deceived by this kind of promotions by devs. These are all simply the traps for investors and also for generating hype by hitting in to crypto magazines.

Why someone need to sell their assets for lesser than exchange prices. I just wonder this way they might be getting more safer method to dump their assets rather than selling in open markets. Because if you keep selling in exchange then you cannot get continuously same price which will be definitely lesser than 2 or more cents after some big round of selling. So, promoting like lesser than 1 or 2 cents must be a high level of trick to sell.

I wonder why they took one hour? I mean when they plan to buy themselves, they can finish it of within 5 or 10 minutes which will again get them more hype how some ICOs tried same thing by 2018 (they start an ICO and will close it after 10 minutes by saying they have raised targeted 10 million dollars but that project right now is dead and not listed anywhere).

Think about this way, someone (investor) who is ready to risk their hard earned money to some trader who themselves claims like they are perfect in trading and promising about consistent profits, then that investor must ready to accept whatever results bringing up by those traders. It means once you are making yourself accepting their terms and conditions than you need to accept whatever the consequences.


But, from the perspective of investors they are ready to risk by believing into some traders' skill set. It means they are unable to trade by themselves and that must be the reason why they want to hire someone else to take care of their funds but for trading purposes. I believe this kind of dealing is already happening on most of the markets and because of it remains profitable to the investors, I guess this kind of trends are still keep popping up.

OP's case can be different and it is all about dealing only with friends. I guess this type of traders in the beginning days, they will start with friend's capital and then they will slowly expand their business model which will be allowing anyone to invest with them with the basis of profit-sharing at some percentage. Nothing goes wrong until they manage days in profits .

Basically all trading bots concepts were innovated for that purposes like when we are unable to trade yourself due to some reasons then we can engage a trading bot to take care of few of your trading procedures but definitely not for automating each and every steps of your trading.

Unfortunately it seems we are all misusing trading bots because we are letting it to completely take care of all of our trading procedures. This must be the reason why we are unable to find big success out of automated trading.


This is what the final conclusion most of traders are experiencing and sharing after trying bot based trading. I am sure even we are having artificial intelligence kind of enhancements with bot trading, nothing will be changing in the final results of our trading. Because manual trading must be more flexible to and controllable which is completely missing out in bot based trading.

Your approach sounds like super-safe-heaven-strategy against fail proof because when we are having backup plan then definitely we can cope up against any kind of market fluctuations. This is simply a derived approach of not depending on only one resources; definitely this will help any trader. You must need to keep checking like everything is going as per your plan if anything changes then you need to react immediately so that you could avoid unexpected things; for changing things, you are already set with plan-B .


When you are not experienced enough then you will approach trading without any proper plans. For example, most traders in the beginning days will enter the market without any idea about stoploss ranges. Only when market goes in negative direction, they start thinking about stoploss levels and then get panic and do whatever hit in their mind out of emotion failure; which usually leads to big losses rather than cutting losses earlier.


This is nothing but improving your technical analysis and strategies. You must need to do this periodically so that you will stay competitive in the markets. Traders who are stuck with their old strategies definitely will fail over the time.

I am not sure what are criteria you traders are following while choosing your preferred exchange for day-trading; but in my experience all non-scammy exchanges are good for day trading for known trading pairs given that it will be having enough liquidation on one particular exchange. For example, if you plan to day trade BTC against USDT then any exchange which is listing this pair will be good to go because it will definitely having sufficient liquidation as far as I have checked.

I have seen price gaps in small exchanges due to lack of volume and this types of exchanges should be avoided for day-trading as high volume must be the first criteria traders need to consider when they plan for crypto day-trading.

My local exchange is seeming buying liquidation which is the reason if I try placing orders, on first attempt no order gets placed; and the prices change in both buyer and seller sides and then if I try again then orders get placed. I guess this kind of practices definitely not suitable for day-trading.

Government might actually have to adapt a digital payment system because no touch payments will be more preferable in future considering how the virus can be spread through touching a person and let's be honest the corona virus is going to be with us for a long time until vaccine is developed.

The problem government face with allowance of bitcoins is that there are more illegal activities because while decentralization offers benefits there are those downsides too where people can evade taxes since there is no way to know who holds how much money. If these challenges can be worked upon somehow then there is no way that bitcoins cannot help a cash-less economy.

It is logically impossible to test every citizen and treat them and hence to say that the only solution is to test everyone and treat them is really impossible practically.

I think if only people take proper measures and operate their businesses and people who go to jobs are made to sanitize themselves and wear a permanent mask then the severity of this situation can be reduced to a large extent because it is not possible to close all the business and sit at home for an year as people will die of starvation already in such a long time.

I think the virus might spread even more viciously if right measures are not adopted in the required time frame.

Actually yes dice is pretty easy for people who are new into gambling too because you just need to choose a number and if the prediction is right for under/over you win and if not you loose, simple and straight forward plus it is easy to implement strategies into dice like martingale while slots are a little complex as you need to pick how many lines you need to bet and it can be tricky for someone who is new to gambling and slots and then understand how the slots pay table works. You cannot even apply martingale or other strategies because the payout for each slots bet is not fixed, I mean at dice you know you can set a fixed payout but in slots you don't know what payout might come as it can be 0 or 10 times also.

I would still say it depends on your gambling habit, if you are the one who likes lotteries and similar big paying structured games then slots is better for you mostly while if you are a standard gambler then usually dice and keno are best as they are easy to understand too.

Yes same here as I check their ANN thread here and I also google about the casino before playing there because usually if a sportsbook or casino have some poor history it would somewhere on the google index will show up and we can read their situation there.

I would really appreciate if there was a casino news portal where we can read all the news about major casinos, their promotions and news about them and a separate section for scam and bugs in past with casinos. There are many such websites I know but none is covering all the action that is happening around and all scam accusations against casinos should be added there too.

I just want to share on few number where I really got amazed whenever I do check. The first one is freebitco.in; they are into crypto gambling industry for more than 5 years and the amount, they gave away is really massive one. Here are their stats to make you speechless:


Another one is what I come across last week which is a new casino and their stats on wagering amount really made me surprised:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5199911.msg53024378#msg53024378
Look into the date when this casino was announced here and the total amounts in bet. There must be at least house edge as sure shot profits which may sum in millions.

Windice is another new casino which is achieving 10 million bets consistently for every 10 to 15 days. By considering its age on this crypto gambling industry and its competition against primedice and bitsler, I am really wondering on the market size of this crypto gambling space.

Stake has always been from day 1 one of the best casinos in the world. Even though I sometimes criticize them, I do it out of love and that is why I give my feedback. Sure sometimes I am harsh, sometimes I go into arguments, yet that doesn't mean I dislike this place, I still think this place is the best one ever. If I felt like stake wasn't any good, I would just move on and go to another place and why would I care if stake did anything wrong in that case?

I wouldn't mind at all because I wouldn't be here, I would be somewhere else. Yet for years (and even at first days of primedice was created) I have been here, a loyal gambler that has been with them from day 1 in both places, and that means sometimes I do see some stuff wrong and I find it quite acceptable to share my feedbacks. This place is just surreal about how professional they are doing their job in crypto space, that is why I love them so much.

Yeah, 2% is definitely a smart method to make sure that people stay in long term. Makes no sense that anyone would just get in and get out free willy without any problem. If there are long term investors who happen to wait for over a year and investors who get out after a week. This is inactive for now of course, so anyone can get in and get out but eventually it will be activated one day. Plus the amazing thing about this is the fact that yolodice is not getting all the money back to themselves, they could just say 2% dilution goes to their own pockets and nobody could say anything about it, but no, they are not doing that at all, they are actually doing it for long term investors so that is something that could be appreciated as well by long term investors that casino is looking out for them.

Yeah, but you might pick an username that you could have used in other places as well. Let's say your username in roobet is the same one as the one in bitcointalk as well, that means there is easier way to find you out. Of course, if it is a generic name like "michael" or "joe" because you were one of the early gamblers in roobet and every name was available, that means you can't be googled.

However if your name is like "hurayingblowbackfish1872" or whatever specific, they could google that and find you in other places where they can send you a message. Hell there are people who use the same username in twitter, instagram, bitcointalk and other places so if they do not hide your username, it will be very easy to contact them. Which is why hidden names do make sense for some people.

When a coin is not having a solution to our problems then its value is just a speculative one and in that case, we must look into total supply and circulating supply so that we can predict the future of such coins. But, I guess we do not need to bother about total supply and circulating supply when the coin is addressing a problem we do face in real life more often. Only very few such coins are available, Ethereum must be one of them. Even ethereum is not having any restrictions on maximum supply it has managed to reach 0.11BTC by the beginning of 2018.

Recently when I tried to research about GRIN, I came to know its economy rules like it is having unlimited supply with 1 GRIN per minute kind of emission. It is block generation gap is approximately 10 minutes hence its every block produces 60 GRIN per block which must be making GRIN as a inflated coin hence we cannot expect good value for it over the time.
