I can really feel the pain in your statement so my suggestion to anyone else who is going through such times please find some other job where your passion is because once you follow your passion and make it as your profession, you don't have to work in your life.

It takes courage for doing what you did but now one decision helped you remodel your life and do what you actually like doing. Leaving your job is even more difficult when you have a family because you have nightmares thinking how you are going to manage if you leave the job and hence you just keep working despite knowing you deserve better.

There are more than 100 ways if you google about making money online but he problem remains the same, you are the one who has to decide which option is most viable for you and what you at good at. I read all the points above and yes they are good but not everyone can do affiliate marketing while Handmade goods require specific skills which only you would know if you posses any of them.

Graphic designing is a good career because there will always be growing demand with more and more businesses shifting online and there are many other options like consultant based on what you are good at, if you feel you have good knowledge about analyzing businesses you can become a business consultant.

Yeah, there should be no problems regarding legal matters when using a bot but mostly these bots are ineffective and people expect bots to be cash cows such that they will generate money for them but the truth is bots are only made to automate your trades and to save time, they do not have intelligence and at least I haven't seen a bot that uses its own metrics.

Agree with most of the part but you don't have to beat the market, instead understand the market and learn how to adapt with the various problems and learn about features like stop-loss and even stop-profit to avoid greed at times.

Yeah, there are so many peer to peer exchanges and they provide in-built escrow so there is usually no risk and you can deal with the guy who has a solid and reputed profile. One thing to note is that localbitcoins removed the cash deals ads but there are ads that indirectly allow that you just need to search for options like ATM cash or similar ones.

By the way you can easily buy through other platforms like you can buy skrill/neteller and then exchange it for Bitcoins via a known exchanger so there are multiple ways to do that.

Cash deals are good but make sure you are not meeting a criminal because I have read a lot of articles about how criminals buy a good account on LBC and then use it to make cash deals and you get robbed when you meet them.

Not sure about Huobi but actually binance is good like others also mentioned and one name that might be worth putting here is Hitbtc because they are really good too and haven't had any problems so far but they are certainly not topping binance yet.

It changes from user to user and not everyone likes the same design and layout as others which is also the reason why all these exchanges are running because users are divided among these major exchanges based on their own preferences and choice.

I don't care who represents the republicans in 2024 because it remains to be seen how Biden will operate and how his policies are going to roll out because while he seems the better option we never know because when Trump won last elections he looked good too but he all know what kind of a disaster he turned out to be for them.

Not sure how many people lost or won money with his loss but there was a serious and massive opportunity for arbitrage because the odds were favoring trump then it went ballistic and swung in favor of Biden and then again this kept happening and a serious gambler could have made decent profits without actually risking anything.

They don't have a direct deposit bonus as far as I am aware but let me tell you once you join and play for some time you will get tons of emails with bonuses and it is worth playing here.

Lambo giveaway and there are promotions on sports going on always so it is worth checking and they have some good promotions on the forum too but for that you have to reach bronze which is only 10k wager and technically 3.3k wager on sports because they count 3x towards wager for sports betting.

@tentan If you haven't registered yet, believe me try it, worth your time and the bonuses are god enough to keep you engaged.

It may not be lasting forever but right now we are talking about some stuff that will become industry standard. For example, uniswap has became something major, and yes it may not have billions of dollars traded on it every single week, it will definitely change and become something smaller in the future, BUT it is not going to end neither, it became industry standard to exchange worthless or even maybe good quality tokens that are erc20 based very easily, right now metamask even has a swap option that takes data from places like uniswap and gives you a great offer if it can.

This is why I believe defi has a future, it is not as big as this but it has a future that will continue as long as crypto does, and I do not see it becoming like ICO or IEO world neither.

I agree that there are tons of people who buy a certain project, it makes them a profit but they decide not to leave and fall in love with that project and they stay in it for far too long. I mean if you made a profit, you should get out and find something else you think that will go up, if you are not doing that it means you are missing out on next profits and you are going to lose a lot of money.

I would say best course of action for people who feel like they can't leave a project because they believe in its future and stay with it for months even years would be to check how well it performed compared to other projects. You will realize that if you got out and got involved with something else, you would have made serious profit but because you didn't, now you are stuck with this one.

The way we are going with this I hope that these institutions don’t buy up everything and just keep the market liquid. I have read somewhere that too much of HODL’ing Bitcoin wouldn’t be good, there should be more than enough being used for transactions so that it can keep circulating than just being stored away in a wallet where they will stay idle.

Last time I checked, all these institutions and whales are buying up huge amounts and storing them away in their savings wallet. The next thing they will start playing pump and dump which is one of the most annoying thing.

That might be a possibility because big businesses would always want to operate in a country where taxes are minimal and while having more taxes is beneficial for the government and spending it on lower earning Americans is even better but they would not want to lose big businesses because of a few absurd policies. Keeping a keen eye on this drama and lets see how it pans out.

The flip side is that everyone is going to face the same problem as America and when each country faces the same problem you can't really call it a recession because it is more like a worldwide problem caused by the pandemic.

Not everyone is a trader and not everyone has the patience, knowledge and skills required to become one. There are so many crypto jobs in market because with the creation of a single token or project imagine how many jobs are open, even if temporary and fixed pay based, there are designers who can find work, then there are coders and developers who will deploy the smart contracts and there are other jobs like marketing and advisors, etc.

There are countless jobs for a freelancer who looks to work online and earn via small projects and with time they can make a name for themselves in the community and get bigger and long time projects as well. If one has the will to work and the skill to compete they can earn unlimited in this crypto market.

I cannot believe some guys still think that the covid-19 is not responsible for the economic crash and instead the government is responsible. Please wake up and see news and every country is suffering and stop believing in these conspiracy theories.

I was baffled when I saw this statement in OP:

I mean the economy was doing good, yeah maybe going down for some countries but overall everything was fluent and it is corona virus that doomed down things such that from sports to weddings and everything is suffering. I think people have the right to complain and blame the virus for the tough times and there is no way you can hold anything else responsible for this.

As a player on stake for more than 2 years or so I trust you guys to sort it out and even if it is not sorted then there is no way we as players are affected at all. A casino that refunded my losing bet because I explained them how it was placed at wrong odds and the system had issues, I don't think any sportsbook would ever had refunded the bet to me. There was no reason they cannot deny my claims and keep the bet as lost but they showed a great gesture and refunded.

Stake also have kept my Trump bets as active while all other sites have settled as lost so there is no reason why I would ever care about license and other shits as long as stake doesn't make any statements about having any problems. I haven't had the same gambling experience anywhere with daily, weekly and monthly bonuses on top of the time to time promotions for UFC and almost all other sports. And yeah they will get it fixed no doubt though so relax fellow gamblers .

Yeah, the price is even closer now so I am quite sure the talks should be around 25k now because we are still long way to end the year and if the current trend continues we can actually see 22k or 23k being reached by the end of the year.

I don't think that will ever happen again what happened in 2018 because now the market is much more healthy and a few whales cannot even shake the market like it was possible back in 2018 or earlier. Also there are new investors coming via other mediums like Paypal and others plus there are news of big investors investing so the market is now rising naturally and should never drop down by much because small drops are normal and expected.

I do not think that there will be a "massive one", obviously there could be some corrections here and there and I agree that it is not a big deal that if we have some corrections down and keep going up later on, but I just do not think it will be a massive dump. The biggest talk in the market right now is to go between $13-14k levels and after that breaking above $20k from there. And if the price of $18k right now becomes $13.5k in a week and becomes $20k before 2021 reached, I think that is still a win.

In order for the market to create more volume and more liquidity, it needs to move all directions, only going up doesn't really make a big deal and just because of that I think there needs to be some downs to make more money and use that money to get even higher highs.

That's great to hear and since you look experienced with GunBot please can you help me determine which package is the best one for a starter because I have been into trading for a long time but I haven't used many bots apart from a few free ones.

So, I see there are 4 packages on their website (https://www.gunbot.com/ right?) I was wondering if I should start with the Starter package but they work only on 1 exchange while I would love to operate the bot on at least 3 exchanges but the Pro version is 0.0375 BTC and I am not sure if investing that much is worth it. Please can you suggest some details like which one is best suited for traders new to bots.

Demand and supply is the obvious reason but to be honest I wonder sometimes like why the demand increased so much suddenly that the price jumped from 12k to 17k and beyond because I mean there is no particular news of why someone would need so many Bitcoins. People often give the reason that as the end of the year gets closer people buy Bitcoins but in all honesty I cannot think of them increasing the price to such high numbers.

I believe whales sometimes buy Bitcoins and they must have enormous bankroll to do that or maybe there are companies investing into Bitcoins as I was reading a thread about Mexican 2nd richest person investing in Bitcoins, maybe that is the reason behind the price rise.

Volatility is cruel but generous on the other side like right now the bull run is going on so even a bad trader can profit easily as he just needs to buy and sell his coins and even if he buys right now the price is going to inflate further so there is no way they can lose.

In general crypto trading or dare I say altcoin trading is very dangerous because there are new coins listed on exchanges every day and you never know which coin is good because from outside they all look good and seem to serve a purpose behind them. Once you have learned about the technical analysis it helps a lot as you at least start spotting brutal scams that are promising and promoting to the moon but they are not even working working on a solid model.

I think it is more about winning contest? I can't really say because I am not involved, usually requires too much capital and I rather not change the way I gamble just because there is a prize at the end.

Many people do not realize this but when casinos offer you something in the name of contest but basically they want to trap you doing what they want you to do, for example competitions are a way of casinos trying to make gamblers fight against each other to wager as much as possible and that way they could earn more. Deposit bonuses with high rollover wants you to deposit and lose it before you can withdraw.

Basically there are tons of stuff casinos do to make you gamble differently and take your money, which is their job because that is how they survive but I rather not change my gambling ways just because of a contest/promotion. I simply stick within my monthly limit which is definitely 100x lesser than what 25th player in leaderboard wagers.
