There is no point in estimating your gambling losses. Most people are happy to see that even with a small amount they have been a success and can not offset all the losses. On my own, I never calculate because if I know how much my losses compared to my success, it will be regrettable to my side. One thing I've learned, it's priceless the pleasure I get in gambling and I guess that's enough for me.

In investing, everyone will feel the loss and not always get a benefit, but when doing the same thing, the loss will be a lesson and learn as a Person not to make the same mistakes. Never give up when losses are on your side and keep trying to be a good and right trader, and learn all well and don't be shy to ask those who have learn and keep trying to find good information in investing for consideration and decision remains in us and our own conscience, and that's my experience and forgetting losses and always remembering motivational mistakes.

yes i agree with you op the price of bitcoin is now very volatile because there is manipulation by big traders. Large traders sell or buy bitcoin in large quantities and this will affect demand and supply. and sometimes small traders are also influenced to buy or sell, so this trade makes the bitcoin market very volatile. and also news about the banning of crypto at local exchanges in China later also affected yesterday's bitcoin dump.

I strongly doubt that. Bitcoin's price would undoubtedly once again hit an all-time high, but I believe it would come only when other governments decide to accept it. In the long run, this would certainly increase their use in the world and their quality. It definitely wouldn't happen soon, so holders should be careful and stay strong. Hopefully bitcoin will hit millions in the distant future.

Gamble from time to time and don't find it a source of income, particularly not your main source of income. Gamble on the things you know about. If you're playing sports than betting on the sports that you understand and obey. Don't look at the odds and make their assumptions. A serious player is playing single matches and only the matches they know about. That's the only way you can make money out of it.

Typically, privacy, reputation and good services like withdrawal and deposit are significant. These are the most common factors that gamblers wanted every time gambling sites are searched and reviewed. Just to make sure they don't get abuse, and the gambling site should have a validated fair system and algorithm. I can recommend that you first have your own research before using a gambling platform to avoid future problems such as getting scammed.

Be realistic about the bonuses, are you confident the bitcoin's price will pump that easily? You're too greedy because you don't take the risks into account and you're focusing only on rewards. That's the other people's problem, they think the value will immediately become a million dollars per person. Bitcoin's price won't be as easy as that, you should be mindful of support and resistance.

How is this guys posts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=176777;sa=showPosts are better than mine? Because he's in the campaign shitposting for a while already.

I can bet that you wouldn't buy any bitcoins when and if it crashes back to 500 dollars at the moment you will not want it. The reason why is that it is most probably going to crash as well even more as the market cap of ethereum and most probably ripple would surpass it. That would be disastrous for bitcoin and the newbies that are coming in now and don't care about technology would just jump in to the ones at the top.

However, it's really good that such crash is impossible at the moment and will remain impossible. There are just too many important people involved with it that they would let the price crash just like that. There are tons of bitcoin businesses like exchanges, card issuers and atms services that would survive a huge loss. Even if something horrible happens on the uasf date as the chain split, bitcoin still wouldn't go down under 1k, so if you believe in bitcoin and don't want to take a loss then just hold it long term.
It's not absurd at all, everything is possible with bitcoins. Remember when the price was 500? it mooned to 3k, thus it was 6x gain. Right now it would need only a 5x gain so it's really realistic.

Ok, so first of all why would anyone use your website again? I mean there's no proof that you're legit and that you will not runaway with the peoples coins. How can we be sure that we won't get scammed? You're a newbie member, you have no trust in the bitcoin world, I would be really surprised if someone uses it.

Besides that there's no way to make the fees lower. No matter what thing you're saying that you're using, no matter how many transactions per day you process you can't make the transactions get confirmed in the blocks quick with such a small fee at the moment. Of course you can send it over and eventually it will get involved in the block, but I doubt that someone will be willing to wait for days to get their transaction confirmed.
It is possible to send a transaction with the fee you want with some wallets (at least blockchain.info has this option) but the fact that you will send it doesn't mean it will get confirmed. The problem is that it might be even returned back to your wallet if it doesn't get confirmed for a really long time.The fact that you're trying to brag that you have the best wallet services makes it even worse. I can almost bet this is a scam. People should be careful, remember to use only trusted services.

Well it would be good if the price actually consolidated though there is a possibility that it would go down even more if the eth market cap would become bigger than the bitcoins. If this happened people psychologically wouldn't be able to be in bitcoins because bitcoin would become an altcoin and eth would be the main coin. That's the main reason why I wouldn't want for bitcoin to go down even though it would give a chance to buy some cheap coins.
Believe it or not, it's not gonna happen. At least not the next week, the support is too weak at the moment and it still has to go down for a while in my opinion.

If eth wouldn't manage to overcome bitcoins over a long time then we might see a huge growth again. Especially before the halving, I wouldn't be surprised if the price went up 5x or even more.

There's nothing to hope for. There were tons of newbies coming into the crypto world during the last few weeks. Right now they are dumping their bitcoins and the thing is that they don't buy other cryptos, they just buy back their fiat.

Just look at the past few days. The price of the bitcoin went down half a thousand in like a day. The thing that you must know when you get involved with bitcoins is that everything is possible and the price might go as low as back to 300 dollars in a few days easily if the massive dump starts. The price is fluctuating all the time.

I remember the day when mtgox scam happened, that was terrible. All people suddenly understood that they might lose all their savings on the exchange so they started selling it massively. Other people who saw that the price is going down started fomoing and selling it as well in order to take as small loss as possible.

To be honest at the moment, ethereum seems to be way better investment option short term. A lot of people are jumping in order to make as much profit out of it as possible, so I wouldn't be surprised if the price started going up again. Bitcoin is becoming weaker and weaker with time as eth market cap is going up.

I never trust the cloud mining services because most of them have failed in the past and it's almost impossible to make profit with it. However, the genesis mining have kinda proved their legitimacy by showing their mining farms and stuff, so they might be legit. Though it's one of really not many cases so all in all I wouldn't recommend you to invest in it as there's a possibility that you will lose money.
For trading altcoins you actually need to spend tons of time on research, know how the psychology of traders usually work and have balls of steel. Thus, It's tough to make profit with it while investing into cloud mining it's way easier to make money if it actually doesn't turn to a scam.Well if we take into consideration that they use those money for buying the equipment and you have to pay the fees of electricity and maintenance, it is possible that you can end up in profit. Though it might take a really long time because the fact that the difficulty will also increase over time you could need to wait for a few years.

I think it's more of the way to freeze your funds so you don't do any stupid moves with it. When you deposit it to the cloud mining services you get small amount of money every day. It's kinda like a wage.

First of all I highly doubt that right now bitcoin will reach 3k as the price of ethereum had a huge pump recently. Besides that the pump was without a dump and the price doesn't seem to stop growing. It just took a little break, thus I think putting your money into ethereum right now might be a better choice of making money. Also eth has a lot of potential on overtaking bitcoins market cap during the flippening what would be terrible for the bitcoin price.

Well here you are talking about a long run hold. Of course the adoption is small at the moment and the price will be way bigger in a few years of bitcoin. But most of the people want to get rich quick and the unfortunate truth is that bitcoin cannot make you rich anymore over night. After 10 years I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches the said 10k dollars each, but most of the people don't have enough will to hold it for that long. It's better to do your research  on cryptos and which one has the highest potential to get pumped. Then throw what you can afford losing into that coin and potentially triple your money in a few days.

Well obviously, though I doubt that many people back then thought that the price was going to increase six times. I wouldn't be surprised if many regular people bought in at 1.5/2k price. If only there was a way to tell whether the price would grow or not. There was a decent chance that the price would come back down from 500 back to 300 again so you can never know.

And why the price would go up again from 3k dollars? These are just wild speculations and I can say that the price will be dumped back to 1k which is possible if bitcoin gets overtaken by ethereum. Everything is possible and if you want sure profits with bitcoin then you have to hold in a long run. Otherwise you won't make any money out of it as it's just like gambling. Get over it

Afaik first of all segwit is not removing the unnecessary information from the block, it would just make the transactions not require the approval from the blocks in order to get confirmed. Basically there would be no need to send the transactions via the blocks and pay the massive fees as they wouldn't get filled as much. Though it should be still possible to send it over the regular way.

What hardfork means is that the blockchain of bitcoin would be split in half. There would be two different chains like it happened with ethereum after the dao attack. ETC (ethereum classic) and ETH (ethereum) was created and one etc is dominated by eth ehat would most probably happen with btc as well, one chain would die off and another would dominate. Though you shouldn't be worried about it as you would get your coins on both chains if you control your private keys. Thus, basically segwit and harfork are two different things, but it is possible that it happens one after another.

If for example on 1st August when the uasf happens for bip 148 and segwit gets implemented via the soft fork (same as hard fork: the code change, but without splitting the coin in two) and after the implementation the nodes that do not support segwit will remain ignoring it, the chain will split in two as well as the uasf nodes will stop accepting the regular nodes that don't tolerate segwit blocks. Thus a hard fork would happen.

Long story short, segwit can help with scaling bitcoin as it doesn't need the miners, hard fork is the change in code that causes the chain split, soft fork change in code that is accepted by everyone thus it doesn't split the chain. We need segwit with soft fork as the  hard fork with chain split would do a lot of harm to bitcoin.

Why would anyone want to jump in into mining at this moment? There's no need to do that for companies because there are way more efficient ways of earning bitcoin than mining. Getting involved in some projects like building more btc atms or accepting bitcoin as a payment method would grow their profits significantly.

Besides that we should not forget that a lot of big businesses are concentrated on usd and are doing really good. If you were a billionaire already in usd would you actually care about bitcoins that much? You would most probably just want for everything to go at the same pace at least thus you could be set for life. People who are already rich don't care about bitcoins and bitcoin is usually a way for the poor to make a huge fortune (not talking about a few rare cases like Winkelvoss brothers and so on).

Also at this time there is a competition for bitcoin which is ethereum. It might be a wiser idea to mine eth at the moment because if the "flippening" happens btc will take a huge L. Then eth price would be unstoppable as the fiat from bitcoins would be moved to eth by a lot of users. So if you mine up a lot of eth now you might become more rich than with btc.

Well if they would put in their own capital in it, then yes it might be bigger than bitcoin, but if it depended on people I really doubt that it could overtake btc. I mean why would anyone buy some shitty company coin that would be most probably centralized and controlled by that company when you have eth and btc? It just doesn't make any sense.

Well if you have enough funds you can always make profit out of it. Just invest into tons of mining equipment and if you have a massive rig it will eventually overcome the price of electricity and in the long run would give big profit. And assuming that big companies can afford it, theoretically they could make big profit.

Nope, it's not all good for sure. The market cap difference between bitcoin and ethereum is only 7 billions at the moment. And the more time passes the closer it gets. I wouldn't be surprised if ethereum surpasses bitcoin in like a day or so. Of course it's a good idea to buy bitcoins still because there are a lot of money invested in bitcoin infrastructure and it can't just evaporate. If it happened those millionaires would take a huge loss. So in the long run it is definitely going to come back.
Is there a limit on how much profit you want to get? that's kinda bullshit, I've never thought about it in such way because you always want to get more and more money out of your investment

I don't know if it's actually the best idea to invest in bitcoins right now because there will be a massive price drop when eth market cap is going to become massive. Right now it seems to be that bitcoin might take a huge L when eth because stronger and stronger.


Or the price is going to come back down and continue dropping. You can never know.

The fact that we haven't seen a dip in a while doesn't mean anything. Eth is growing nonstop for a while and it didn't have a dip, besides that it doesn't show any signs of stopping and going the strongest from all the coins.

It depends on what are you trying to achieve with your investment. If it's a short term one then it might be risky because as like right now, the price has dropped from 3k to 2.3k what would mean a huge loss. Though if you are a long term thinker then you shouldn't worry about it because the price bounces back all the time no matter what and you would end up in profit at some point. You might need to wait for a few year, but I think it's worth it.
At this point there's no risk because the bitcoin is going to come back sooner or later. I wouldn't be surprised if it touches 3k again in like one week or so. Though if I wanted to invest into something today I would definitely go with ethereum because of all the fomoing happening at the moment. To be honest the idea that bitcoin might become the alternative cryptocurrency is a little bit scary.It does not mean that the price is going to go up if the price is actually down. If there's no interest in the coin it doesn't matter whether the price is higher or lower it won't grow and potentially will be dumped at some point. However, bitcoin will always have people interested in it so if you really believe in it then just buy in and hold long term.

Naah it won't happen. At least not in the upcoming year. For that to happen the market cap of eth should increase 4 times more than the total amount invested in the cryptocurrencies. There should be some heavy investing from governments and banks in order for it to be possible. However, the fact that eth is going to surpass bitcoin is inevitable. It's just crazy to think that bitcoin will not be the main currency like bitcoin is going to be the alt from then on. I can already imagine the news articles like "Bitcoin Decrowned by Ethereum", "Is it the end for bitcoin?", "Bitcoin is dead, long live ethereum" and so on. It's a little bit sad because if I want to use cryptos I will have to choose eth and the problem is that I don't believe in it's idea :/

Well no one is saying that it is going to disappear, but the fact that it is going to go down is definite. And when you take into consideration that there will be governments pouring money into it and tons of app creators it is kinda possible, though not in just a year as I said. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens in like 3 years if the pace is going to continue like that.

Well I used to think that there might be an involvement of banks in bitcoins in order to make it go down. As you said the fed can print as much money as they want thus increasing the us debt (which they don't care about at all) and buy bitcoins endlessly. What they could do after a major increase like we see now is just dump all those bitcoins in order to make people scared of losing money. And that is what is happening at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an involvement of fed in it.

Well duh, that is what's happening for years already. Haven't you ever heard about the inflation of usd? Basically why they're printing money is to bail out the banks and pay the debts that they already have. BUT what's happening is that they go into even deeper debt then and inflate their own currency. It's just fucking ridiculous this whole system is gonna fall apart in a few years, you'll see.

What I find interesting though is that ethereum is having a huge pump at the moment. It is most probably going to surpass bitcoin in the upcoming few days and it can be regulated way easier. Could that be the actual plan of the governments and banks? To eliminate the main opposition of bitcoin and then bring up the ethereum? Because I mean it's kinda clear that after eth passes bitcoin in market cap btc will have a huge dump
