Considering this was published 3 weeks ago, could we say that the big increase we have seen in the past week could be attributed to this? Or should we assume that even today we are still waiting for USDT to make it go up? I feel like at around $15k-16k range we are actually not doing that bad with the hype but also going higher than this would be requiring some more cash capital coming in, which could be via USDT if possible but if not it could be regular bank deposits going into the crypto market for new investments as well.

Whatever happens next I can say that USDT does really have a big impact on bitcoin price, you get to see if people are bullish or bearish on bitcoin according to how USDT is doing and that scares me because our market is depending on Tether company not doing anything illegal and not get all that money seized by governments.

If you invest right now, you are going to start getting stakes later on plus you are speeding things up as well, if enough people deposit that will show the chain that this is what we want and that will take things considerably quicker to final destination versus waiting for the minimum to be reached.

I feel like the minimum will be reached in record speed and we will move towards 2.0 very fast, I doubt anyone would want something like this to be postponed and they will probably want it right away. There was also talks about being able to stake even today if you do something but I didn't really understand how, I assume it will start when the public release happens and not now but there were some ways around people were talking about, if that is the case things could change very quickly.

^I agree myself that 15 wasn't really that big of  a deal. In fact it was just some airdrop that I received that day which to me didn't really worth anything, normally I do not even deposit 6-7 bucks because sending that would cost a lot to begin with, let alone anything else. Hence why I believe 15 wasn't a big deal but I just wanted to exchange that airdrop into ETH and then gamble with it, what else was I suppose to do with just 6 bucks? That is not even worth the time or even could even be turned to fiat, hence gambling with it was a feeling like "faucet" where I got free money to gamble with.

I came here to talk about the withdrawal rate because I found it interesting, didn't really bother me all that insanely much but considering it could be removed and just let people withdraw 1 satoshi above the fee is possible, I just wanted to share that. Otherwise 15+ for eth is understandable (and can yes doge if you want less).

Honestly digital yuan probably will be controlled by the government anyway and that is why I do not believe it could ever be decentralized and that will make it not really loved outside of China at all. Sure maybe at first days people may want some of it, but considering it is a stable coin that means it will not profit you for trading or investing neither, it is after all just a money and that's about it.

However it could potentially be something to make it easier for people to move money around in china, crypto exchanges and miners and many people in china who are involved in crypto would have something that could help them move their yuan around between these companies and that could change some things for them, not like it will be USDT because that is much bigger but it could be just a Chinese thing for them to use.

Bitcoin started the year at 7 thousand dollars, it has peaked over 2x profits right now, and we are also at a level where we haven't seen since the ATH times, which shows you that what USA did and why dollar is a lot more worthless to many people's eyes (even if not in economical sense) while bitcoin is still quite valuable. This is the exact same reason why I keep saying that people should focus on having as much crypto as possible instead of focusing on how much their crypto worths.

I do not care how much 1 bitcoin worths, I want to have 1 bitcoin and that is the end of the story for me, I want to have 32 ETH so I can stake it, I would be happier if I can have even more, these are the numbers I care about because even when crypto prices increases, I know that it increases due to fiat becoming worthless and that is a sad thing.

I have gambled with ETH and the minimum you can withdraw from ETH was about 15 bucks, while I went as high as around 12 bucks, I couldn't gamble that last 3 dollars and lost all the other 12 bucks instead . I got in with like 6-7 so that was all I lost nothing big deal. I do not want to make it look like a complaint, like this is not really a big problem.

Wolfbet simply says "if you do not have over 15 bucks, do not come here and gamble for nothing because we ain't giving it to you" and that is understandable, 15+ is not like a whale or anything it is quite cheap. Usually not so cheap in third world countries like where I come from but still cheap for many people. Hence I think this is not a deal, sure if they could drop it in half to something like 0.02 that would be swell but during a period where even withdrawal fee reaches to high levels, 0.04 is totally understandable.

Everything else would be something easy to stop, I am not going to change the person I am just because I got money, and almost half of that money doesn't really require you to change your life neither.

Anything until 10 million dollars would be good enough money to have 3 lines of generations live comfortably if you are careful with your investments but it will not become money that would be world changing for everyone, it would easy life but it wouldn't be spend it on everything you find type of life, you have to still live a proper sane but above middle class life, your biggest expense could be a house and even that takes up a huge chunk of your money. Above that would be silly to earn that is for sure but I don't know what would happen in that case. Family and friends are the only trouble here, that sounds like a real problem.

If you are newbie and you want to deal with regular btc/usdt type of deals I would suggest coinbase and kraken they are very known and they are very good at what they are doing as well, you would be at very safe hands when using them. Obviously if you are not capable of doing USD deposits and from another nation that has trouble with swift type of deals that would mean you have to pick something from your own nation and we can't suggest any about that.

However if you want bitcoin versus alts as a newbie that is definitely binance without a doubt. I do not agree with people saying everyone should pick the ones they like and all, binance is a great gateway to start and after that you could change however you want. Uniswap on the other hand is getting very famous for DEX reasons and if you are newbie that can understand that, it could be potentially very great for you as well.

Uniswap became something huge with the tech it provided, I don't know what their token will be like because it promised way too much and I doubt that would happen but we should be able to differentiate the token and the exchange itself.

I am sure many people got the hold of it and showed interest towards Uniswap all due to them offering hundreds of dollars in bounty prize, which I believe will not be as high as advertised, but thanks to that fake looking bounty, they managed to get a lot of interest towards a product that is unseen anywhere else.

With them allowing people to exchange and trade without worrying about centralized exchange getting hacked or anything, their exchange part will become huge. I only worry when the bounty rewards come in and look like it is few dollars at best, many people may complain and try to destroy its credibility.

Not gonna lie, everyone could call themselves a "crypto currency consultant" or whatever crypto tag you want to have, doesn't mean you are going to be credible or even respected, look at linkedin, there are tons of unemployed people who call themselves "blockchain expert" or "crypto investor" and stuff like that. At the end of the day, I would say the best way to approach these kind of people to check what they wrote and see if they know what they are talking about and how valuable what they bring to the table.

Looking at this one, he knows what he is talking about and not talking about something wrong, that is a good sign, but it is also nothing too shocking or things we don't know so he is not awesome neither, I would give him 7/10 for this topic alone, didn't check his medium.

From these options I would say IEO could be the best according to which exchange doing the listing. If you see a coin doing IEO at binance you know that it will be liked and traded, even on the dex platform it will at least get some attention and that is why I like it a lot.

But, obviously if we are talking about a bad exchange that you do not trust, or a shady looking newbie exchange, or anything that had a problem before, that means IEO or not it is going to suck for that project.

Second in like would be IDO because that is the popular thing right now and looking at all the bounties and airdrops, some of them actually do end up being decent, not all of them though because there is a small chance of it being awesome but you could find some gems. The rest are not really that great in my own opinion.

This feels like it could potentially be just a shilling of a product and not the reality and there is really no other way to check if this is a fact or not by actually using the app and seeing if you could actually make a profit.

I can tell you that if there was a legit way of making 20 dollars a day, it would be used by not only Philippines but all around the world, even in countries like USA where life is a lot more expensive, kids would be doing this like crazy to get their money up and buy some games, even the most expensive ps4 game is about 60 bucks so a young kid working 3 days on this could buy the most expensive game without asking money from parents (just permission) and 600 dollars a month would be a very good side income for them. It would be literally higher than minimum salary in 100+ nations.

All these sportsbooks giving Biden or "winning party democrat party" type of bets under 1.6 for the past few days really started to excite me. I do not want to talk about politics here, you pick whoever you want to pick, but in wagering world I have a lot of money wagered on Biden so to me it is more than just politics, it is about money in my pockets .

Thankfully I got in at 1.88 way back when and I got in with some other websites as well so at the end of the day I have like 250 dollars laying on Biden in probably 6-7 different places, and each of them had Biden starting from about 2.2 at highest I believe during primaries to now as low as under 1.5 odds which is quite low considering that is like Liverpool vs Sunday league team type of odds. I will have about 150-200 dollar profit if he wins!

I have never said Trump will lose, I wouldn't know that, I am not a political science major nor have any type of credibility when it comes to guessing election results neither, I wouldn't trust my own guess let alone someone else should. What I simple said that it is way too close to risk that much money and I am 100% sure it doesn't matter if you think Trump will win or Biden will win, you should realize that it is close, it is not going to be like some candidate will get 450+ or whatever, that is not the case at all, it is going to be deadly close no matter who wins.

This is why it doesn't make sense to bet on Trump 130k+ dollars, does it make sense to bet 130k+ on Biden? Doubtful, but at least he is seen as the favorite right now, doesn't mean he will 100% win but at least he has a higher chance, whereas trump does have a chance to win but it is lower than Bidens so putting up that much money on the underdog is just way too risky for me.

Different people are having different perceptions. I am seeing this year very much similar to 2016 regardless of what we had due to pandemic. I mean that even world economy got suffered due to consequences of pandemic, bitcoin must need to be performing like gold as gold and bitcoins are falling into same category compared to stocks and other bonds which are related to economy of a country.

Moreover, we are going to see a new ATH by the end of this year which will make us to assume that potential of bitcoin is more than enough to defeat the consequences of pandemic. This way history will repeat itself and I am not having any doubts about its timing as well because I am foreseeing the possibilities of coinciding time frame as well.

By the times of May/June of 2019, bitcoin prices peaked only up to $13,800 and never got power to test $14k levels. So, the last time we had seen prices around $14k was when the prices were falling from ATH by the first quarter of 2018. It has been more than two and half years since bitcoin markets traded above $14k price levels.

What is two years and halving? The next halving may happen by May month of 2024 or earlier to that also possible. Bitcoin market is slowly gaining momentum and it last up to end of next years (as per the four year cycle of BTC markets) and only after that you may see most altcoins may test their new ATHes.

Airdrop shouldn't really be a good source of income to begin with. Let's take a look at what you do with airdrops? I can find some right now on airdrop directories, it shows that I have to like their tweet, I have to like their facebook page, I have to follow their instagram, I have to join their telegram.

These are the most common ones and usually ends up with all of them being like this, you can have additions on top of this like bitcointalk signature bounty or maybe there is a tweet where you have to follow them, retweet them, like their tweet and reply with tagging 5 different people? That is an airdrop too. All of these are not that much work at all, these are things you can do in under 10 minutes, how much money did you think you could get for something so quick and easy to do? I think few dollars is more than enough.

I live in a nation where crypto acceptance is sky high, we use crypto for anything if we want to and other party accepts it, legality wise there is no problem at all. Yet we still do not have too much places that accept bitcoin or any crypto easily, adoption is very slow compared to what it could be, considering the law allows you to accept crypto I would assume it would have been a lot more common but unfortunately it is not.

This is why I believe it is going to be a bit different to have a mass adoption one day, it is not about legality, it is not about price it is basically all about people not having the trust in crypto enough to accept it and cash out later, they are afraid of the volatile price situation of crypto and this is why I think it is not going to have any sort of mass adoption until it is more stable.

But, it doesn't make sense to wager that much on Trump unless you are very well off financially. Right now, nobody can deny that elections could go both ways, I am not going to say that Biden has 100% chance but he does have the "bigger" chance from everything else, and I understand that Trump is also in play and he is very close to Biden, it will not be a race where the winner will be decided right away, it is going to take a while to see who wins and whoever ends up winning I can guarantee that the difference can't be all that huge.

This is why betting 130k dollars on either Biden or Trump would be something silly to do, why risk so much money when you do not know who would be the favorite of the people? Only logical answer could be having tens of millions of dollars and doing this for fun.

I have gambled a bit today but I have never checked the minimum withdrawal amount before until today, which I find a bit higher than should be. I didn't had too much money left to gamble for today so I just sent my 6-7 bucks into wolf.bet to have some fun, it was definitely a good amount of money and I gambled for a good long while, at the end I had about 12-13 bucks and I said to myself since I doubled my profit I should probably cash out and leave for a while before I restart.

After that I realized the minimum to cash out is 0.04 and that is about a bit further away from what I had. So I had to gamble a bit more to cover the difference and obviously as is gambling tradition I lost during that period and now have none . Since it was a tiny bit amount it is not a big deal, but I would have been happier if withdraw allowed me to take my money out without restrictions.
