I remembered when I was a kid . We usually use bottle caps to gamble. Funny I think but it is true and since we are kids at that time, as long as we are happy then its ok.

I think that is the first time that I gambled but in terms of crypto gambling, I just started last year when I tried to gamble in sports. I stopped it right now because of financial problems.

everythings starts from one bet. and then you continue to make bets because you understand that it's really interesting to watch match where you have placed a bet.

Really, what is the reason to hide the cryptocurrency you are dealing with and trading? It seems to me that you should even promote it, so that more people will support the altcoin, and it will gain more popularity.

I have been playing into some few ICO projects lately, and the reality is that I lost a lot of money due to the domination of the bear market and uncertainty of the projects going forward.

As the old saying goes, more than 90% of those projects are either scams, failed to reach soft cap, or not getting any traction in the next few months or so.

Maybe it’s because ICOs are not regulated and investors like me holds all of the risks.

Until now, there are still new ICOs emerging. However, there are also new ones such as STOs (security token offerings), IEOs (initial exchange offerings), and so on. It seems that both STOs and IEOs are already being considered the next big thing in raising crypto funds for starters.

With their ongoing emergence, are ICOs gonna be over soon? Are they gonna saturate and may phase out due to projects turning to STOs and IEOs?

I wanna know about your thoughts regarding this one, and I would greatly appreciate it whether if you agree or not with my opinion. Thank you in advance.

I see it go up and down every day so I'm confused!

Genemind, thanks for asking. Our new approach to reviewing betting sites is informative. We use this approach mostly in instances when we were not able to gather enough feedback from real players of the casino we review. Here, the main goal is just to give the basic info about the casino including, but not limited to, its licenses, currencies accepted, payment/withdrawal methods, contact details, country restrictions, bonuses given, and games offered.

But when we get enough feedback and review from players of the casino, we include these in our bases for writing whether or not the casino is worth recommending or not.

Bitcoin, created to disrupt the banking industry has been faced with scaling issues sinces it’s creation. Temporary solutions such as the lighting network have surfaced to provide instant like transactions to be used for micro-transactions as it is not truly secure. Leaving a need for large transactions and micro-transactions alike to be conducted in an instant like manner while being secure. Scroda being fully aware of the problem affecting all cryptocurrency users who have decided to unbank their wallets, has found the solution to implement zero-confirmation transactions through the use of relay chains.

Scaling issues present in Bitcoin

With Bitcoin only processing an average of 8 transactions per second, a major obstacle preventing it from becoming mainstream for daily consumer use. In which stands true for the majority of blockchains when processing transactions on-chain.  Due to such congestions huge drawbacks are seen such as an increase in transaction fees and a long processing time are seen when transacting with Bitcoin.

Flaws found in temporary solution such as the Lighting Network

One Alternative that has been proposed is the Lighting Network in which works as a second layer on top of Bitcoin, where transactions are processed off-chain. When conducting transactions off-chain one moves from being able to conduct trustless transactions on-chain to conducting trusted transactions off-chain as one would have to trust that both parties agree to each condition accordingly, or that both parties stay online during the transactions as one party could run off with the funds of the disconnected user who is now not able to communicate or agree to any transactions. Due to such concerns users who transact on Lighting Networks only conduct micro transactions to minimize the amount of funds they risk of being stolen.

Why Zero-Confirmation Transactions weren’t achievable

Bitcoin was designed since conception to reach consensus on a block to block. Miners utilize a protocol known as Proof of Work in which the winning miner is chosen to upload their block. A downside being is that every miner on the network constructs a unique block with transactions that they choose to include, thus leaving the network open to many attacks vectors such as stealth mining and reversal of transactions through a 51% attack.

Bringing Zero-Confirmation Transactions to life through Relay Chains

Scroda has solved the solution to bring instant-like transactions on-chain with security still in mind. Having taking note of the risk associated with verifying transactions on a block to block basis, Scroda decided to take use of relay-chains in order to verify transactions on a transaction to transaction basis. In doing so consensus on the blockchain is able to be reached before a block is uploaded. Ensuring that each transaction broadcasted to the network and that is true will have the guarantee of being uploaded to the blockchain. From having such security in place a receiver can be assured that they will rightfully receive the funds sent to them before the transaction has been permanently placed on a block in which is to reside on the main-chain.

Many benefits are obtained for confirming transactions on a transaction to transaction basis such as the reversal of transactions through a 51% attack.

Making cryptocurrency mainstream through zero-confirmation transactions

Due to the ease and security provided by zero-confirmation transactions, users would be able to see cryptocurrency become mainstream in daily consumer use. Users would be able to securely purchase items such as a TV, Furniture, Computer, Diapers, Cribs and more in the time it takes to complete a handshake. Giving benefits to instant-like transactions to both micro and large payments.

Please let us know your thoughts below! Would you conduct a large transaction on a lighting network?

Hi!
I read the article about the forecast of the Ethereum Classic price: art
What do you think is the future of ETC?
Should I buy it now?

I recommend to put the percentage of profit in the area of 30% and download a mobile application of the top exchanges, where you can put yourself a notification of the achievements of a certain price, the market is not yet growing very rapidly and there are opportunities for shorts

Is there any alternatives to erc20 tokens?
That have a very low or no transaction cost on another blockchain?

We are thinking mainly for the use case of tokenizing services.

Actually I believe it BNB will never overtake ETH, because Ethereum market situation always good one. This is very demanding and smart currency, Where the details of a larger market volume. You can check coinmarketcap Ethereum always have been second position in the market value mate.

That's also I believe that this month the bull run started. In the month of April since the bitcoin started increased I think it is only 50 chance but since I saw a lot of different changes to the value to the bitcoin which is increasing now Im sure we are in bull market.
We cannot force anyone to believe to the people who believe we are on bull run like us mayne once bitcoin up high again they will believe too instantly.

Nothing in the market has changed. Just a new model for investing. I think until they eradicate fraudsters in the cryptocurrency world there will be many changes. But these are all derivatives of ICO.

Of course, the burglary situation is extremely unpleasant, but I don’t like how many white spots remain on this story. For example, why have 80 stolen bitcoins returned to a hot money wallet?

I came across this article this morning and I want everyone's input on this idea...

https://cryptotradernews.com/cryptocurrency/is-bitcoin-gold-a-scam/


Is Bitcoin Gold a scam? Think about it...  Ever since the BTG Wallet scam happened I've been a little concerned that all of these "alternate bitcoins" were just trying to take advantage of people.

Idk... thoughts?

There will never be any coin that will rival bitcoin ,its never going to happen ,Facebook is a very popular social media platform but that's it to it ,going for crypto is not a bad idea but that doesn't mean it will outperform bitcoin,I'm sure it will help crypto get more popular but that's all there is

It's funny to read few comments here, few of them is like teaching OP about basic knowledge trading. All you need to know is that OP wanted  to start Intra-day trading (find out about this one, I'm sure most of you in this thread didn't know what is about) which is not his expertise area. The reason why OP wanted to have a partner is because he wanted to focus on getting more clients.

It's okay to find few trading partners to manage trading activity but I can't find you one. I will just suggest you to be more careful, I'm sure you are not stupid but scammers can be always smarter than us.

Even though I haven't experienced many parabolic sessions of the crypto market, my little observations I made in the immediate past one is that, we're all likely to miss the boat of the next run again. Especially if you're not holding much coins already. I'm saying so because the bull run/market comes like a snake attack- subtle, tactical, unexpected and quiet and by the time we realize, we're already at the top again.

I quite remember telling a few friends to buy BNB when it was around $20 buh they were saying it's high buh now look, it's even higher.

My advice: Stop thinking there's gonna be another last bottom (it's a 50/50 bet which can go either way), and just buy /invest into anything you think it's good to buy...Procrastination is a thief of money (crypto version )
