Of course it does exist, last market Pump and Dump really proved its existence but still with that, the price never crashed that low, I mean 1k that OP said is possible. This is why the mate said it is impossible to crash the price completely.

Because, the system also has check and balance in position which in this case are the traders and the trader are so wise now that they have learnt to monitor the activities of the whales when is about happening and I think this is exactly what is still putting a lot of them in control now and why we have not even seen sudden increase in price.

We also need to join hands not to allow them manipulate the system anymore.

This cannot be the case of visa because these type of project products is what is virtually every home knows, those projects you are talking about are new projects built from scratch but looking at VISA, they are building on already existing popular project.

Just like Facebook planning to come up with their own coin, which we all virtually expect the project to really succeed considering the fact that they already have a very large community that are ready to support the project once it is being implemented, and this will be the case of Visa too, their trusting community will make the project a success and we better be ready to join them.

It would have really been nice if we all live in a cashless society but that will be impossible for now due to so many factors and one of the factors is literacy, when you look deep into some parts of the world, the number of illiteracy there is still quite high, how the do you introduce such technology as cryptocurrency to them, and you that is educated enough will have to deal with them in one way or the other everyday of your life, most of them have what you need for your daily life and will only accept fiat as form of tender, so we really can’t do without cash except all purchases and transaction will be done strictly online, which is quite impossible, so yes, I still need cash, so kindly go on with your project.

I don’t think it is good to adjust our mind to this type of volatile market, if every believer of crypto currency keeps doing this, what input have we then made to the success of cryptocurrency and what will we pass to next generation.

When Satoshi created the bitcoins, what he purposely created was a system of payment that will become very stable in near future for everyone to use and also hold as digital asset but look at what we have all turned it to now, only means of using it to make profit, if we keep with this trend, how will the purpose of the system be established and how are we going to also pass positive information to the government about Bitcoin.

I think you should be happy that you are getting a lot of balance in your MEW account why a lot of persons are seeing their money being lost to scammers.

Maybe you have participated in a lot for bounties and you have been rewarded with some coins in time past that had no value but now has value which is reflecting in your wallet, I don't have a better explanation to give about this because I am making use of MEW also and I have never had this kind of experience before, I just wish I have one right now, lol.

Most of the real ICOs are even finding it hard to reach their soft cap target not to talk of hard cap because of some of the point you mentioned here, I think the best way for them to reach their target now, provided they are solid projects is to first of all run it through ICO first, then whatever money they get through ICO, they can use the remaining one to register for IEO.

At least it will be lot easier to meet their target when they go through exchanges, it will make the project faster and campaign also faster, most hunters that has already worked till the point they left ICO will be paid on time and easily.

I understand any project requires advertisement but most of the projects that has been carried out on some of these exchanges using BTT as reference didn’t do any advert before they reached their target, the IEO systems itself is a form of advertisement because most investors believe that any project listed on the exchange has automatically been verified and marked as safe in which there will always be a pop out of new projects through the IEO platform and majority of the exchanges will be the ones to generate the news themselves which will require little or no use of campaigns.

Great news from the stake team, kudos guys for building a product that has no bugs as far as we can see, it was really a great development process with all the great things you provided and all that. Normally the "beta" is the process where we find the bugs and so forth and tell you whats wrong with it and you fix it and you bring it back and we try to find more and so forth until there is none left, but as is the stake team tradition you guys had none from the get go.

This new update should be taught on schools on how to do an update to a website without disturbing the peace of the website, both kept the old one open and showed the new one and made people get comfortable with the new one and so forth and now the V2 is no more "V2" but the default option. To many more years with many more awesome updates like this.

The criticism of your website has nothing to do with stake, that you can be definitely sure of.

Stake is just an "example" of a proper website because they have been around for probably 5 years (not stake but primedice which owned by same people) and maybe even longer and they have never screwed anyone over, so by default when someone offers advice on where to play you go with stake since you know they won't scam you, which in return like I said earlier has nothing to do with your website and if it is good or bad, its just an example and by attacking stake you are not doing any favors to yourself neither, you should make friends not enemies, say stake is awesome but they don't have poker which you have and make that the difference, attacking them won't help you.

The biggest casinos in crypto all have owners that are friends with each other and go into each others topics to praise each other, with this way you are just making sure no stake player will ever play on your website, doesn't really help your cause.

Well, you can’t blame yourself for this, most people too are victims of this circumstances including me, we tend not to sell our coins when need be, waiting for a spike which is also not a bad idea, it depends on the angle at which you take the market but from your own angle.

It seems you took it from trading angle and that is why you could even invest in shitcoins which you ought to have  removed before it even got to 30%, if it was a good coin that has the tendency of spiking high to 1500%, I don’t think missing that opportunity should make one regret because it must surely come again and surpass that.

It is very important to have confidence in our investment, either in a wrong coin or a good coin but we must not 100% rely on them, this is why I will buy into your idea of not making it one or major source of income. Many people that have invested in wrong coins didn’t actually plan to do so; they might have seen the light in the project when investing.

Including the project members themselves but probably something happened along the line beyond their control that made the project shift from being a good one to a bad one. If we don’t build our confidence in any of our investment, this is where panic selling comes in and eventually makes us to lose it all.

There is no algorithm that will accurately analyze the crypto currency market except time. As we get people on daily bases that are using each of the cryptocurrency for one thing or the other, we will always experience the fluctuations.

There are other sides to the crypto currency which is not limited to investment alone but usage for making payments and as medium of settling financial challenges, it’s the usage that we need to put pressure on so it can then generate profit the other way round. As long as we have human factors operating in the system, no algorithm will accurately predict the market.

It will only get rid of ICO scams provided most project migrate to IEO and I do hope their policies for IEO is not too strict to force the project into staying with ICO, if they can succeed in making virtually every crowdfunding projects migrate to IEO, then we can be rest assured that they will regain the trust of potential investors out there and aside the scam issue too, is to also be sure that whatever project they are listing is very viable and will definitely continue to grow in the long run and not eventually turn to shitcoins they will end up delisting themselves.

This is the expectation of this community but how far this new trend will go by keeping their word will be a time determinant. I remember ICO industry was highly successful when crypto market was trading positive but in downfall, due to lack of investors, most ICOs ended up failing due to improper managements.

I expect any token to actually have a low volume at start and low value because at that stage it got listed, they must have paid heavily for listing too which the cost of listing was withdrawn from the hard cap reached and cap recorded on listing will definitely reduce.

Secondly, if the project went through bounty campaign, a lot of hunters has the tendency of dumping the coin for the profit on it which will surely in turn have effect on the price and lastly, the project team will need up to a month after listing to start working in order to boost the growth. So it’s not all coin on exchanges that has low volumes that was as a result of cheap listing.

You are absolutely on point, this is one of the great ways we can use in knowing a good project by verifying the team directly, at least a very good project should not be afraid of displaying its location and location of the team members which any of community members residing in same country as the team can verify and give feedback.

It will really be great if groups can be created generally for people to join other than the ones created by the projects, whereby people can come and discuss generally about any form of ICO for verification purpose by any member residing in the country of the project team.

That's the problem around here, they are very very tough on the withdrawals.

Many many people had issues withdrawing because somehow cloudbet finds "suspicious" stuff with people constantly and they require bunch of stuff to be able to withdraw the money and all that. It creates a whole lot of work just to withdraw your own freaking money. God knows how many people said "screw this I am done" and didn't even withdrew their money because of all this haggle. We all know just the ones who come in here and write about it.

There are plenty of sites where withdrawing is as easy as depositing and cloudbet is not making things any easier for them since this recent 330 bitcoin dude, yeah there could be troubles and problems caused by the gambler but making it harder for people to withdraw for "security" purposes has a limit and cloudbet has been over that limit for waaay too long.

I think Bitcoin gambling has now become more popular because smart gamblers are taking advantage of the current market cap by involving immensely in Bitcoin gambling because they are believing and are of the full knowledge that definitely Bitcoin will get back to its feet sooner and there will be good increase in their bankroll.

I think is really very right because any sudden increase in BTC would bring about the rise of gamer's bankrolls. So, this period is quite encouraging for Bitcoin gambling. I do see lots of new gambling sites and their intensive promotions to this community. I believe they are all targeting bouncing back phase of bitcoins, it means everyone is looking for making use of current situations of bitcoin markets to get the maximum benefits when market will be bouncing back.

Trying to recover losses in gambling is like chasing after shadows. They would always lead to more losses. The best thing to do when one has lost is just to stop the game, Better to stop immediately, think about how the mistake can be avoided in the next play, and maybe next time go more prepared.

Trying to recover losses by playing back the game immediately is not always successful, I think if we all go into gambling with the mindset of it’s just a form of entertainment, we would not  get so hurt when there a loss.

Despite the fact that he came of live TV to analyze this, everything is still speculation because no one is really sure of the direction the coin will take since the major determinant is the usage and adoption of the coin. This year will record its number of newly introduced investors to BTC which will definitely have a very great influence on the value of bitcoin, and so long the market cap keeps increasing. I see no reason why BTC will fall below $3000 but rather keep appreciating till it succeed in finally breaking the $4k resistance.

I am a bit still surprised at why they have not given up yet on predicting especially the ones that are not major analyst and just leave the system to do its job and fulfill the reason why it was created. I equally understand that predictions can do better to the system provided it is a positive one because good news can encourage investors to invest because of FOMO.

But, as the best time to come into the system, predictions can lead someone astray because no one can entire predict right, we just have to do our own personally analysis, invest in the right project and keep it in mind to wait for a very long  to see its result.
