Definitely I will categorize such kind of deposit demanding casino as a scam one. I am not ready to agree that depositing funds is the only way to verify that you're a human or not. Fortunately I have never faced any such kind of gambling houses so far which is like enforcing me to deposit so that I could play with them or will get eligible for withdrawing (But I remember, in paid-to-click services, some sites asked like that).

Moreover, I never go for availing the deposit bonus from any crypto gambling houses which might be the reason I am completely not in position to go for withdrawing with the any of gambling houses. At the same time I had no experience of withdrawing funds from gambling houses after making profits (but I had experience of withdrawing my signature campaign rewards).

Actually, I am glad someone mentioned it. I have been part of many fiat and crypto sportsbooks myself and most of them will either ignore the small players or just avoid giving too much attention to their problems. I am not a massive gambler but whenever (very few times) I have contacted support for any problems, they have been super nice and always made me feel like I am some sort of a VIP player.

Most of the sportsbooks don't have a max bet button but sportsbet.io does, at least for me it's there not sure about others. Then you have free withdrawals which save a hell of a lot of money, to be honest. ETH transactions were so costly a few months back and glad I was playing at sportsbet.io that I never felt the problem .

It depends, sometimes it’s an advantage and sometimes it’s a disadvantage. It all goes down to what you’re using it for. Like you said, when the market goes green and increases in value, it’s an advantage for a lot of people as they are able to make profit from the market. And when it goes down, that becomes a disadvantage since a lot of people ends up losing their money. That aside, I know people that wants to use bitcoin mostly as a method of transaction, but since it is volatile, they find it hard to use it, because they fear they will lose their money when they do.

What I really really really want is a pokemon NFT game, is that so much to ask? Think about it, let's say it is in BSC ecosystem right? We have tons of NFT games these days and technically speaking making a Pokemon NFT game is not impossible, and specially would be awesome if Pokemon Company actually worked with a proper company to do that, with great designers as well, "card" game is a pokemon thing and has always been like that and it would be insane not to think that a NFT card game for Pokemon wouldn't be awesome.

It would be same logic as all other pokemon card games, you buy packs using BNB and then some NFT's come out of that pack and then you use those to fight with other pokemon masters and whoever wins... wins something? I don't know what they win. The idea is not clear in my head and I doubt I would put too much detail into it since I can't do it, but the idea is amazing, a pokemon NFT card game could be a billion dollars marketcap in under a month if it were to be made.

It's beyond craziness now what's happening in the market right now. Elon Musk has become a small kid whom everyone follows and obeys, he can tweet about a toy and people will buy all the shares for that toy immediately. People don't understand that he might be joking about something instead of being damn serious so not every tweet is to be taken as an investment advice.

I am afraid tomorrow he might tweet death and people will suicide guessing that money will follow their death, such are the levels of craziness in the market and on the social media right now.

Anything he tweets doesn't always mean or is directed towards cryptocurrency guys although I am sure this tweet is intentionally made to pump that coin.

For me I don’t say that any cryptocurrency is semi centralized, it’s either that it is centralized or it is decentralized, no other option for me. If a cryptocurrency is semi-centralized, then it is already centralized. If the government should come out tomorrow and say that they want to  take action against all the centralized cryptocurrencies, even the ones you say that are semi centralized are going to be part of what’s going to be affected.

Anyways, as for what to choose, I would prefer a coin that decentralized. Coins that are truly decentralized gives you freedom to do things as you please, so there is no need going for the ones that are centralized.

Well there are lots of ICOs out there, but you have to be very careful with them, so many of them are scam and you’re going to end up wasting your time because of them. So, try to avoid these ones by going through the right source.

Even at that you still have to be able to understand the projects that are likely to be successful and the ones that are not going to be, and avoid them on time. Maybe you can make use of Coinmarket when you’re looking for airdrops and things like that, there are also other websites that you can make use of and you will be able to find lots of really good ICOs.

What you have said here is like a normal thing that happens with altcoins whenever there is a bull run, they all go up like crazy, a lot of them do that. We have seen all these meme coins increase so much this year and we even got to see a lot of new meme coins get introduced into the market.

These coins are for sure going to increase when the bull run comes, although I think the bull run is over though there still people still saying there will be a continuation of the bull run, but I just think these people are dreaming and they are yet to wake up and start believing the fact that the bull run has happened and has also ended. Some of them are those that missed the bull, so They are just forcing themselves to believe that there is going to be another big chance again. Finally, if you ‘rebuying meme coins, be ready to take a big risk.

The best one is funding, if there is funding then people can do something with it, and unfortunately these days creating a coin is not enough, people somehow expect you to do marketing for it as well? I do not understand that, I do not remember satoshi going around the world putting ads for bitcoin, neither Ethereum and Vitalik or even Charlie for litecoin, none of these were like getting big ads.

Nowadays you see tezos on mclaren formula car, like what the hell is that? And not only that is bad for decentralization, but people are literally willingly give money to project owners just so those project owners would spend that money on advertisement and bring more people and evidently money with it so that the price would go up. So basically we are all putting people in charge of coins and making it centralized and making someone rich just for marketing purposes, just doesn't make sense. However that is how it is, so that is how you should look at it too.

I am sure most of the holders who own significant amounts must have secured them by giving the private key to their loved ones or locking it in some kind of a box which would be opened in emergency cases.

People buy life insurance because they know, uncertain and unlikely events can happen and a tragedy can change your life completely so they plan about it.

I would also add that sometimes we hide our emotions towards our parents. I am sure most of the people reading this love their father but how many of us have actually expressed it to him? I am sure very few of us. While they are alive, I wish they live forever, please thank them and show appreciation and the emotions you had for them for years.

Of course, everyone please get vaccinated at the earliest and anyone spreading rumors please think twice because such actions can't be forgiven at all. You don't want to be the reason for someone's death, surely!

First of all, I will like to point out that some of those people you see that are like that have no single interest in cryptocurrency. They just saw or heard someone make huge profit from trading cryptocurrency and got rich, so they just hop on it expecting to become the world’s next richest man overnight.

So, a lot of them deserve what they get. They don’t even ask questions for people to teach them how it works or even seek for advise for the right they should trade, rather the just hop on it and start trading with all their money all at once and they lose it. How can you lose all your money in trading if not that you’re trading all at once? But you’re being advised to trade with 5% and some people even trade with less than that.

All these meme coins are just jokes for real, the way they are easily pumped and dumped is something else.They all went up very high, and then all of a sudden they crashed , and to make it worst they crashed more than other coins like Bitcoin. Imagine someone that held their coin throughout the bearish times of these meme coins. I saw a lot of people complaining of what they have lost due to the meme coins crashing.

And it just happened instantly and resulted to a lot of loss. Investing in them is something you will have to do to your own risk, and you also have to understand that you’re taking risk in doing it, so you have to thread carefully. If you’re lucky, there is every amount of possibility that you will make huge profit at the right time, and if not, then it’s going to be some serious loss.

There are people who invest in ICO, you’re not the only one that has plans to do so, people has been doing it since. And why their prices are way lower than their opening price is because after the ICO launches, a lot of the earlier investors sell their tokens to make profit ,and as the token gets dumped, the price goes down.

So, if you’re investing in the ICOs and you have plans to make good profit in return like you have said here, then you will have to be ready to sell earlier once the project launches, although I usually advise people against doing this because I feel that it is totally wrong for them to be doing it, since it affects the newly launched projects and their teams, they should be given the time to grow.

Six figures is a mere formality if you ask me, might take 3 more years but reaching $100k is inevitable. I am looking towards the million-dollar Bitcoin because I have seen ups and downs and I am glad I got into this market and community at the right time and watching Bitcoin touch a million dollar would be a dream come true moment for all the crypto enthusiasts like me out there.

A 10-year is a lot of time though and predicting things is really hard. I can almost write down one thing and be sure of it to happen after 10 years and that is, the price of Bitcoin will be at least 5 times from what it is now and I don't think any investment even today can guarantee you 5x profits in 10 years. That's the minimum I expect in terms of growth for bitcoins.

It's hard because of a few reasons.

1) The growth for any coin is highest within its first few years. Bitcoin has seen like 50,000x growth, if not more, in the last 12 years but if the same growth happens in the next 12 years, it just sounds ridiculous and funny.

2) As the market gets mature there are other projects ready to outplay Bitcoins and although I am sure no other crypto will ever have a bigger market cap than Bitcoins, all these altcoins do eat up a lot of funds that come into the market.

3) It's entirely possible that the government has banned the use of bitcoins within the next 4 years and hence although insane possibilities are there, I don't think the same growth can happen in every 4-year cycle.

1- If I sell then I go buy BNB because most of the time I am investing something in BSC and that means BNB is the king there, plus I believe BNB will go up to 700+ dollars or even to 1000+ dollars eventually so it is not a bad investment.

2- I do not like the interest rates on stablecoins because there is nothing that can gain you interest by default, those places are either ponzi scheme or use your coin to gain profit in which case they may end up failing and losing money so its going to turn into ponzi eventually when they lose money.

3- I would say btc and eth is a good decision, but keep some BNB because like I said before I like BNB and see a future in that as well.

4- It depends from nation to nation, some nations do see it as something you still have to pay, whereas others do not even recognize any tax burden until you cash it out to your bank account so even if you made millions in crypto as long as it stays in crypto its free (but this is only some nations, check with an accountant in your nation to learn the answer).

5- Investing into real estate is always a good idea because you already spent your money and now people have to work for you, finding proper people to rent your estate is a very very very difficult job and I would advise against that, but the building itself will gain value thanks to inflation so keep that in mind. Remember you can show your profits as collateral and get even bigger loan to buy something even bigger if you trust you can make money from it.

Now things are a bit different because we have BSC growing so big, however that wasn't the case just few months ago, back in early 2021 or a bit before that BSC was empty land and that is the reason people still preferred paying 40 bucks on ethereum gas fee over investing into anything in BSC because there wasn't anything to invest. So when one place have 500 projects in it and other has maybe 10 at best, you know that you are willing to lose money on each move, you limit your moves but you still took those.

However these days it is getting a bit different, ETH has lower gas fee once again, not as cheap as BSC still but getting there, and meanwhile BSC has a ton of projects, maybe even more projects than ETH at this point. So it is a bit of a confusion, it is not simple and it will never be simple but it is still a very fun thing to compare and it is never a clear answer for many people.

I used to think that when people say stuff like "next bitcoin" or "next ethereum" they mean something that will be as big as that, but that turns out to be not correct for some people. What they mean is that the trajectory ethereum took. So let's assume that there is a coin now, and in 5 years it will be where ethereum is today, does that mean ethereum will not move at all? We all know ethereum will be much bigger in 5 years, so that means people are talking about a coin that can become what ethereum is today but in 5 years. So, invest into something smart and you can get there.

I believe I own a few coins like that, I believe a few coins I own could make 10x to 20x return in 5 years, I can't guarantee that so I am not going to name any of them but if that is what people are trying to find, I am sure they can find something that will profit like that.

There are way too many people who are willy nilly about their money and that shocks me. I care about a single dollar I have, and this is not a joke because my friends mock me about it but that is how I just grew up and even though my parents weren't poor, they weren't wealthy neither, I would say I lived a very good childhood yet I knew how my father worked and saved just so I can live that life.

We had horrible periods where we paid certain bills and postponed some other bills, I had banks coming in to seize stuff because we failed to pay our debt, but I had moments where I went to private high school and spent anyway I want while getting all kinds of games and consoles as well, I lived both sides. I learned one thing, if you are not careful with your money when you have it, you will wish you were when you don't have it and that is the lesson I took to my life after I got married and built my own life.
