Convenience is the main thing why I gamble using cryptocurrencies. There are other digital currencies but I do prefer to use cryptos because it protects my anonymity and also, the transactions cost less and faster compared to other digital currencies.
To be specific, I do not gamble really and the first time I gamble is due to the influence of crypto in a way that there are cryptos which are from projects related to gambling or gambling sites in particular. I did engage into such activity to make use of the tokens I've earned from projects than to just store it in my wallet.
Then eventually, I am gambling to kill time using some of my holdings. I also did try comparing it to other currencies being used in online gambling but I just find it more convenient , using cryptos to gamble.

Are you gambling everyday?
twice a week?
once in a never again?
if you gamble everyday, can you stop whenever you want or are you fully addicted?
would love to hear more on your habits here on the forum.
I gamble twice or thrice a week actually I don't have a specific time to gamble I just allocate time and small funds when I have free time and there's no interesting stuff that I will do online or any project that needs time, so I can say I'm a moderate gambler. That's a good thing given how addicted gambling is. Most of the gamblers cannot control themselves especially when they are losing that much. One thing that I have observed about gambling addiction is that, the bigger the loss, the higher the risk of being addicted into gambling because it will just give the gambler the 'hunger' to win back their losses. And as they are trying hard to cope up with their losses, the losses are slowly getting bigger. |

The vast majority of people who play the lottery simply aren't interested in the process, it's not what you would call a "game of fun."
The simple fact is, the lottery is a slow-paced game that is played by those looking to win the jackpot. Anybody who wanted to win big, while also enjoying the game would likely play scratch cards instead.
That's why a lot of casinos have a much faster-paced lottery, which is similar to scratch cards.
If you are a gaming addict, you dont even care about the process of the game or any lottery and you cant even wait for the outcome because you want an easy money. The essence of gaming just for fun slowly dying and also the greediness will eat you up because playing lottery or any gambling games is literally way too much addictive. It should be balance because if you are already an addict you cant even resist and refrain from playing anymord once you started. Greed kills the enjoyment meant to be provided by gbling games. Most of the gamblers are not playing to kill time but to just earn profit and such thing is no longer surprising given how many people became addicted to such activity. But what makes it addicting is the chances of winning. It will give urge to the gamer to play again on the other day to make a 'comeback' not knowing that their loss becomes bigger and bigger as the frequency of playing is getting higher given that losing is more certain than winning. |

2020 will be the year when more governments are going to be including blockchain in their systems to become more transparent and more reliable in order to offer a better service to their citizens.
Also, BTC will be more popular this year because since 2018 was mentioned a lot if the media, even when they talk in bad way about it, Bitcoin keeps growing, even negative news is good for the network of networks!
So many people are still just knowing bitcoin but can't understand the concept of decentralization yet! they just don't get it! because they have been indoctrinated for decades, and know it is more difficult for them to understand one important word: decentralization!
What's the bottomline? Blockchain being accepted by governments certainly don't mean that bitcoin will have the same status! Even a lot of countries including China will start their own digital currencies using blockchain. But does that mean, bitcoin will have an impact? Sure! bitcoin will have an impact, the more people talk and use bitcoin the better future for bitcoin! bitcoin is still in a non-massive adoption yet! Bottom line is, the more governments use blockchain, the better for btc! BTC is the door of cryptos! But the problem is, this year is devastated already by many problems from its early start. Health related issues, wars and such. Although the tension between the two countries have somewhat affevted the price of Bitcoin, I do not still think that this year would be a year where more governments would adapt blockchain technology because they would more likely focus on issues such as stated. But it is still early, and assuming is not a bad thing. |

We are moving forward back then, at last. I don't think that this upclimbing trend is just because of the upcoming halving, may there is something behind on it or it means that the market is gaining huge resistance by now. It is been alike that we are getting close to the bullish market. Looking forward to more market surge in the coming days...  Anyway, we are still early to say something for the bullish, yet to be exciting to see but I don't like to expect more at this time just like what most did. I am pretty sure that the next move will be price increases. I also think that halving will be the trigger. although there are some people who don't expect much on halving, but I'm pretty sure that with halving, other developments will be triggered, and make the price of bitcoin, or crypto, be higher. as you said, it's too early to say that, but we can see it in the next few days. That could be an increase in bitcoin because it triggers the halving happen again, maybe history will be repeated again this year. Even though this increase is still under correction this movement will still be quite up in the future. I also agree with you that halving is triggering the price of bitcoin to go up high. There's no assurance that halving would be the main thing to boost the market value of Bitcoin. There could be other factors. As we would go back to the past, forks were the main factor that pushed the market value of Bitcoin and broke barriers with regards to its price. And now there's this halving thing. For sure the price will go up once again but no one knows when will such thing would occur. And this for me is the reason that there are still no assurance that halving would be the 'key'. |

What does corona virus have to do with bullish bitcoin ?? any effects
Corona virus caused the activities of the Chinese community to be a little stopped and the workers also did not work as usual and more rested, and that I don't think will have much effect on bitcoin even though the effect will still be on a small scale. How come that it would affect the market value of Bitcoin? The issue with regards to NCoV has risen weeks or month ago, but the market is fine unlike when the tension between Iran and U.S arise wherein it somewhat affected the price of Bitcoin that uprise occured then at the moment that the tension cooled down, the price again fell down. And at this moment wherein the virus is still a hot topic, things are not that different. So maybe, it won't affect such aspect. |

I personally still believe that the rise of bitcoin can be very high if it is in a bullish trend. and for the estimation of halving bitcoin I hope it will really start this year, because I believe growth will be able to until 2021 the same as 2016 which ends in 2017. And I believe this because some history has proven, and I think the trend this will happen periodically.
Actually I hoped that it will really happen this year. In fact bitcoin has a good start this year and we can see that it wss slowly increasing its past few weeks. And hopefully it will continue. When the price of it keep increasing surely lot of holders will get huge profit from it because we wait it for a long time. Even if the momentum become a bit consistent, market value such that high sounds absurd still given that the market behavior of cryptos are going up and down. The price of Bitcoin really showed an increase recently but it has been followed but a little dump and is now again recovering. The patterm simply shows that its market value could really increase but not as high as 400,000 usd which is way far from the reality. But who knows, jumping into conclusion still is not advisable. |

In my own personal opinion, bitcoin is really a safe haven asset for your money because it is one of the best ways to store your money and making it as an investment that it could give you a good profit in the long term, but there are still risk in storing your money in bitcoin that you should know first that it could go down if bitcoin's price is also going down.
For me, bitcoin is not totally a safe haven for my money because of its own high volatility. We may gain huge profits from investing in bitcoin but it will be gone also in just a blink of an eye. It's good to invest just a partial amount of your money in bitcoin as long as you can afford it to lose. Just to clear things out, Bitcoin is a digital currency and is more of an investment due to its 'active' market value. If it is safe haven, go for bank accounts because in such way you won't lose money unlike in Bitcoin wherein there are changes in its market value from time to time which serves as a risk unless you are using Bitcoin to earn profit someday as its market value is growing. A 'safe haven' is meant for securing something, meaning there are no risks of 'losing' it. |

A new year – at the start of a new decade – always feels like a fresh start. The last two years have been a bit sluggish for the crypto assets industry, but things are likely going to change as we go into the 2020s. Here are the top 5 predictions for 2020, and how you can use them to your advantage. Read more here: https://zycrypto.com/top-5-predictions-for-cryptocurrencies-in-2020/Five different predictions does not make nay sense. I would be happy to know if anyone can predict one correct value of bitcoin. No one can predict it precisely. It is impossible for anyone to accurately predict the market value of Bitcoin because its price is naturally volatile. Predictions of such cannot make a change on the market value itself. It will just drag those who do believe that much on the majority's assumption into high hopes and when things go to the opposite of everyone's expectations, regret would take place. People should now be not surprised everytime the market price fall and rise because it happens a lot in such currency. |

I read the article, how a person of disabilities especially blind person can access Bitcoin. https://coolblindtech.com/developer-making-the-first-bitcoin-wallet-for-the-blind/. Are there any wallets like electrum, ledger or Bitcoin core can access by blind people?. And I am searched about Bitcoin Bitcoin Whitepaper in Braille project, but still not continue or I am missing something?, let's me know, I want to help my friend. Why would a blind person use bitcoin?To buy something?To invest?To trade cryptocurrencies?To gamble,which is impossible,because online crypto casinos and crypto exchange platforms aren't user-friendly,when it comes to blind people.This topic is quite interesting,but I don't see any benefit that bitcoin could possibly bring for the blind people.I've never heard about Icywallet and I don't trust such wallets.Use with caution. It is just many people are relating Bitcoin and other cryptos to many things. Just like recently wherein corona virus was related to the price of Bitcoin. There's really nothing wrong for doing so but some things can be answered easily without the need to ask for other people. Just like in this case, why would a blind people use a digital currency? Ofcourse they would prefer fiat since they would be able to be familiar with it through touching it and be able to identify its value. |

I suspect that a lot of people who invested money into crypto around the end of 2017 will have probably cashed out already. It takes some strong hands to hodl from those highs. That said, anyone who already sold may have already bought back in to try recoup their losses. I believe there might be a difference due to the wave of new investors. We've got +1M addresses still holding their coins... so when the next cycle comes, these address might become active. If they do, it'll probably be a huge selloff from those who invested @20k.
It would be a bit unsurprising to see if there are many holders who would sell immediately once the price starts to rise, and when the market value is enough to cover their losses from the previous downfalls. They would surely take advantage of the situation and make sure to prioritize regaining their profit, and would probably not risk it again. Many people have regrettable not selling before when the price was still at the 'peak'. |

-snip- I learned about Bitcoin when I was a kid, -snip-
You learned it when you were a kid? So, how old are you now? I guess you are still a teenager now. And it is very interesting to know that a teenager can get extra income from the Bitcoin business. Regarding me, trading and investing in Bitcoin have become the routine side jobs in my life. I can get enough extra income from these jobs. Even, sometimes the income from trading and investing in Bitcoin can be higher than my real-life job.  Maybe he just exaggerated in that aspect wherein he pointed out the time he learned about Bitcoin. Going back to Bitcoin's profitability, it is a good source of income but it cannit be the main source of income to MOST of the people. There are people who primarily get their income in crypto but since there are changes with regards to the market value movement, it is only good as a sidejob and not a primary job, in my opinion. I do also earn profit from campaigns and sometimes, trading. |

I think this isn't possible. China can definitely provide for its people considering they were able to build a hospital to treat patients affected by nCov. Based on what I am seeing online since yesterday, so far there are people now that are healed. Those who died are those with existing conditions.
It is a virus so what would you expect. There are lot of ways in order to help and also, the problem starts to spread to different countries. In China, patients are being treated but since it is viral, it also causes panic and if yoj would watch news, there's still a shortage in terms of other medical services. It is possible to help, maybe not direct crypto, but fiat could be used or by other means. In my country, there is a shortage of face masks, since many people panicked about this issue. Some people hoard and make use of it to make money, which shows greed. |

We are on the level of $9k again and bitcoin should not dump again to confirm the bull market and let’s not hope that this is just a short pump. As many says, this year is for bitcoin and cryptomarket so let’s wait if that is true or just another hype to us. The article says it all, but time can only tell and still bitcoin should break the $10k level. Dumps cannot be prevented or stopped because it is a part of the market value volatility. It is really good to see that the market price is now rising again after a slight downfall recently. Well maybe, this is a clear sign that this year would be the recovery period for cryptos especially Bitcoin from being downed last time which tooked the interest of most of the investors away from investing into cryptos. But still, there's no assurance of such thing and being careful still with our actions is more advisable. |

Today Bitcoin price growth is incredible! It seems the bull run already started from the first month of 2020! Bitcoin price is 9K USD again, Chinese Lunar year is not affecting the crypto market anymore. The way Bitcoin price growing, it can hit 10K USD even before February! I strongly believe this is the Bull run and Bitcoin price will go to 15K USD before the halving! What is your opinion guys, share here!
Unfortunately, but I'm afraid there are very few chances for a bull run before halving. It is much more likely for me that it is a bull trap. Of course, I would be very happy if the price never fell, but I think that before halving we will see big price drops. Many people are saying that the increase on Bitcoin market value is due to the tension between U.S. and Iran, wherein the market price almost reached the 10000 usd barrier, but unfortunately yet fortunately, when the tension cooled down, the market price fell in a sudden, for a little. But it gives us the chance that there is a tendency for the market prices year to be back to its 'feet' omce again. All we have to do is to wait patiently and avoid hasty and absurd assumptions as well as decisions. |

Between the question of electricity consumption, the pollution produced by mining and many other things.
What if that would ultimately turn to the benefits of cryptocurrencies?
There's no pollution produced by mining crypto! What are you talking about? Maybe you're talking about coal and oil mining? What pollution does a bitcoin miner produce? I'd say the same kingd as your PC and TV. Sure I'd invest in a company that would improve the environment but it would have to show real results not catchy slogans like Greta.  the environmental improvement program is indeed an environmental improvement program that is currently getting attention throughout the world, so it is not surprising that there will be many people interested in the theme of this program. so for the project's success I don't think it's something that is difficult Not all people would invest on such program to help the environment, ofcourse there would be people who would take advantage of the scenario, and would invest to earn profit if it is a project involving cryptos, perhaps a fundraising program. But OP did not clear things out on what kind of investment would help the environment whether it is a real estate project or digital. So it definitely depends and people nowadays are clever enough if that program that they would invest their cryptos with, would really help the environment. |

I am not that optimistic, but well, that would be great obviously.
What would you guys do? sell at 27k or hold to the next cycle?
reaching 27k this year could lead in more investors being interested and that would make the 100k goal more doable.
I am very optimistic that Bitcoin may really hit 27K USD after the halving but I am afraid that it won't hold it for a long time. As you know people are still in huge loss, they would go for recovery by selling at a high price. Even I will sell if Bitcoin hit 27K USD and then I will wait for a dump to buy again. 100K USD seems daydream to me. How sure are you guys that its market value will reach that high given how inconsistent the increase in its price? This is the problem with some investors, they are just making unrealistic assumptions just aiming to earn profit. Accept the fact that the price won't go 'boom' in a single snap. Analyze how the market behaved at the past which should serve as a lesson. My point is that, if ever the price become high, then it is normal to be happy, but to anticipate it and be disappointed is another thing. Just let the market be. |

It looks like it....  There is some artificial inflation of the BTC price. Pure air. When this happens is easy for the price to come down, because it doesn't have any support whatsoever. Whales & good traders will continue to take advantage of FOMO so they can accumulate more. I think we will revisit 8k, but just under 9k. After this dip, it looks like we are going to be saying bye bye to 8k for ever. So, prepare those usd guys for this next dip $$ If you want to know more about my reasoning in this matter visit this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5221788.0I'm actually not expecting any real dump again at this time , every price flunctuation now will still be around this present value and not lesser.This Moment is close to halving and we are leaving $8k for the next level. We may not have much puch till April but there will be steady increase till the halving in attained. The majority of people believe this. I don't. We will see. There is still 100 days to halving. Not close enough. How can you say that there's 100 days befofe halving? Can you please share a proof to this? Because I am not aware of such thing. All I know is that, it is normal for its market value to fall and rise since that is the nature of market volatility. I no longer anticipate dumps because as what happens everytime, it would be followed by a recovery although the price won't be back to its state before the downfall, but still, recovery is there, same thing with the uprise. As an investor you should know when to sell and when to hold. |

It's really a simple one. The signature campaign is not for primary income. It's just an additional income so that when you post good stuff, you will be paid even if what you did was just to post something you are really interested in. Faucets and minings should not be in the list of the high risk and high profitability part, as well. Because honestly, minings and faucets don't really give great profitability compared back then when there's bull run. It seems like the chart is outdated.
I would rather join a signature campaign and do blogs than mining. The highest profitability you can get in cryptocurrency is in Trading, Business, and Gambling. But if you really wanted to earn big income in cryptocurrency, try to learn and master taxation. And Big shark bitcoin holders will find you.
For now, my signature campaign is only the main income (for payments using Bitcoin), because doing this is a sure thing to produce. Compared to having to do the Faucet or create a blog. I would also suggest trading your altcoin holdings(if there are any) because it would give you additional income. Signature campaign is the most common way to earn profit in this industry without the need to invest. But it is now hard to join such campaigns because of the requirements with regards to merit and such. Also, the rank in this forum limits the participants to do so, a bit unfair to those who has low forum ranks. Gambling is also another way but do take note of the risk. |

This makes wonder whenever it's possible to buy real estate with Bitcoin?
This topic has been brought up before, as I remember seeing at least one other thread asking this same question--and I do find it an interesting one. I do recall seeing someone selling their house on bitcointalk a few years ago. The OP provided pictures and all, though I can't remember which country it was in. And in another thread someone mentioned a huge real estate sale that happened with bitcoin being the payment method. But those cases are isolated and rare to the best of my knowledge. I don't think there are any real estate agents or mortgage brokers who deal with bitcoin routinely, nor do I think there's a huge demand for that service. People barely spend bitcoin on little things, and the number of people with enough bitcoin to purchase a house or land is probably very small. And besides, I see bitcoin as an investment more so than a currency. Buying a house with bitcoin would be like buying one with gold or stocks. It just doesn't make much sense--that's what fiat is for. Yes, a lot of people believe that bitcoin is an investment. I don't forget that bitcoin is meant to be a currency. The only instances where one could buy real estate with Bitcoin is if the company behind real estate property perhaps, do know the concept of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency and if it decides to do so, or if cryptocurrency is widely accepted in that particular country. But such instances are rare and also, the point that Bitcoin is better as an investment, is another thing to use it to buy things. But who knows, maybe someday we would see transactions of such. |
