PayPal has its own fees. Is using them so important to you that you'd be willing to pay 20% exchange fee and then pay again if you decide to do anything with your paypal money? That's crazy.

They closed down because there was no demand and I don't think they'll reopen. There's really not that many people who'll pay premium just to get paypal money when they can get cash from an ATM much cheaper on any other platform.

How many times have I said something like that? A lot that's for sure!

Altcoin can pump by themselves but you have to be ready to sell at that exact moment. The rest of the time they will just move up with Bitcoin and you'll gain nohing but when they dump they go down hard and investors lose more than they would if held Bitcoin.

Common cold also isn't deadly and its spread rate is no joke. Most of us get it once a year.


It became a pandemic because the government officials overreacted. The bans are already being lifted.
The virus has been spreading in February and is spreading now. It's just not as deadly as they had thought.



Those who feel vulnerable and feel scared can stay at home. It doesn't mean we all have to.

People have been doing similar attacks 20 years ago when there was no Bitcoin.

I remember this being done in games and chatrooms where the system would allow someone to register an account with "I" instead of "l" and the names would look the same.
Some services did not show spaces so you could make a name with a single space in the begining or end and use that identity to get some private information.

One way of fighting it is to use password managers. They won't recognize the site and won't give you the loging and password if the link doesn't match 100%.

So you guys always obey the rules of your government? Is that it?

How come the government banned people from entering casinos but did not shut down casinos and allowed them to operate? If a casino is open you can expect people to go there. The rules should not forbid people from playing but casinos from being open.

Of course! You can have all the plans and strategies in the world and the best attitude ever and still fail. These do help but don't make you a winner.

OP mentioned superstition. That doesn't help for sure. THe only good thing it can do is give you confidence but confidence is a double edged sword. It can be good or bad depending on the situation. Luck isn't a measurable thing so I won't even talk about it.

Instead of worrying about about being killed by the pandemic you should relax and think how many people that you know got sick and died. You'll realize that there's nobody around you who is sick and suffering besides people who were sick and suffering aleady before the outbreak.

The first step to feeling good and confident is realizing the position you are in and seeing the possible ways out of it.

If you woke up and realized you've been burried alive you would gave reasons to panic because the situation would be dire, but as long as there are ways out you're fine and shouldn't worry.

Most people choose chance based games and the statistics confirm it.
70 or 80% of casino profit are slots that are the purest and most newbie friendly form of chance games.

I'd choose a skill based game because when I gamble I like to focus on it but I know that many people gamble while doing something else like watching TV or even working.

I agree with you. People always think 2x is a big thing and they keep waiting for the ATH to appear once again so they can unload.

I bet most people who came to bitcoin during or after the 2017 bull run is looking at 20 thousand and dreaming what they'll do if it comes once again. The rest will sell at 2x that just like it was in 2017. The price struggled a lot at 2-3000 USD because that was the goal for most sub 1000 buyers. Then everyone and their mothers bought back in.

It did not fail. Temporary drops do not affect the average price per year.

It's not a good coin for daily payments because it experiences these flash crashes but that's mainly an effect of little market depth on exchanges. It's still a good safe haven. If you bought coins for 10 thousand dolars before the pandemic you pretty much have the same value now.

Baseless assumption. Do you always label people like that?

You don't work as a mechanic so you don't know where cars come from.
You don't have a cow so you can't possibly know how milk is made.


That's what they want you to believe.

Yes, and it's a big one - Bithumb.

It's a real shame that they show the world they don't care about privacy and try to blame the coin for the actions of its users. This is never a good idea to find a scapegoat and call the case closed.

I really don't mind if the world sees what I'm buying but I prefer privacy if given a choice.
Saddly we are getting less of it and will be getting less of it in future.

What's happening to Monero is a good example. It's getting delisted from exchanges left and right because of its privacy. They are afraid it can be used to launder money but I thought KYC was going to prevent that. If they take all your information and still don't allow you to use privacy coins it's a sign of something bad coming in the near future. Possibly the end of cash payments.

Is it finished? Was it meant to be blurry and a bit transparent? Is there a message there that Bitcoin isn't as solid as a coin or something like that?

I'd like it with a bit more hard black and white depth or in color.

I'd be afraid to put my money in a centralized token like BNB. It may be doing well now but it's very risky.

If you have a chance to buy something buy Bitcoin because it's the least risky.

If you already have BTC and want an altcoin get some ETH. There's really no need to risk money by putting it into things like Polis or BNB when you can get a nice safe profit from other coins with less risk.

When you see that the site designers can't even write a few correct sentences in English and there's a mistake in every paragraph but at the same time they say they're trading "trillions in currency" you know this currency has to be simbabwean dollars or some other worthless fiat, there's no other way

For trillions traded their site really looks bad and is in low resolution so they don't have good hosting. Probably running on some free server. Pure garbage!

It's not the pandemic that is a threat but the actions of the governments.

The pandemic did not kill staff of all the restaurants in the EU but the governmentas effectively made them all useless, as good as dead, bu shutting down their businesses.

The coins will gain value as people realize that the pandemic isn't as dangerous as described by the media.

It's a pointless act if you ask me. It doesn't matter if something is rare because rarity doen't equal value! Rarity can boost value if there's some utility or beauty somewhere in there but rarity alone will not achieve anything.

Excrements of white tigers are very rare but are they valuable? You can't make a gold ring out of shit just like you can't turn a worthless token into a valuable one by cutting its suppply in half.

I bought BTC long time ago and the most important factor at that time was an investment opportunity.
I heard about the previous halving, had some cash at hand, invested in altcoins first and traded them and noticed that bitcoin is much easier to predict. Less volatile but also less speculative.

I liked that and later as my trading was going well, I became a holder.

I'm also positively supprised by Bitcoin's resilience. I also expected that this dump require more time to recover.

Some well known traders were more bearish with Tone Vays predicting it to be a start of a nother downtrend to 5-6 thousand and we have to remember about those all out bears like Ross Ulbricht who thinks we'll go to new lows this year.

I think we'll see a new ATH but in 2021 or maybe even 2022. If it happens this year I'll be euphoric.
