I am glad cryptocurrency runs on a decentralized system that makes it impossible for them to be able to control, as time goes on, what will prompt them into adopting crypto is when they see a massive adoption of crypto beyond control and large decrease in the number of people that uses their traditional system.

I really don’t know why banks are having issue with a system that would even benefit them and make their already existing system a better one, if they can incorporate this system into theirs too, it will make them have more users and there will also be more funds for them, I am sure they have no problem with crypto, they are just being careful since they operate under government, because if they had problem with crypto, how come most of the banks recognizes XRP.

Bitcoin is the only coin so far that I have vividly seen that does not depend on any  other coin, be it stable or not to perform or grow, you need to first of all compare their functions and community base, if not because you are even bringing up the topic, I have never for once in my life look into the area of tether, my main focus has been on Bitcoin.

I have been using bitcoin for different purposes, investment, transactions, trading and so on, which I am too used and addicted to bitcoin than any other altcoins, I love ethereum a lot but when it comes to BTC, I dislike listening to any other system that it is being compared with, no matter how promising they might look. So a big NO to you, it is impossible for tether to do so.

Yes, it is true that many projects rely more on ethereum smart contract and the main reason why they do is because it is cheaper to run and not because it is faster than BTC,  ethereum might completely drop in its relevance soon because we also have so many projects coming out now.

Proposing to do what ethereum is doing and even better than ethereum, these many competitors they have to face when they all arise will make it difficult for ethereum to struggle and meet up with the king of crypto, their focus will be more on how they can stay relevant in their position while Bitcoin is doing better too by gaining more attention of users and investors to its side.

Skills and practice is the most vital thing like you said, when it comes to trading, money cannot buy us success if we don’t approach our trading in the right way, and the only way we can have a better approach is when we have the necessary knowledge and strategy to carry out such trade, and coupled with the fact that we have to know that mistakes are bound to happen no matter how perfect we think we are, that is why as a normal trader, we should only trade with any money that we feel we can let go off and not money that will make us stay away from trading finally after we have blown it finish before becoming perfect.

No trader can accurately guess the prices of cryptos and that is why it is impossible to always get 100% profit on one’s trade, but as a day trader, technical analysis will go a long way in deciding for such trader, most day traders uses charts to determine the best spot to trade.

I think most of the traders I have seen who are day trader have successfully rely more on technical analysis, because they don’t even have much time to listen to news, because news takes a lot of research too and timing, if you completely mix both, you might end up not trading anything, technical analysis too is not that easy to study, it also takes time too and by the time you take another time to study fundamental analysis you will realize that time is already getting shifted.

What we need right now are factors that will create these demands, though we already have some few listed projects for the year that will create demands, but in don’t know if those projects are really more than enough to push it high to ATH, but I do believe that as we are waiting patiently and preparing for the bull market, the market will remain positive all these year and as I have believed and see in many other post I have ready on this forum, I think next year should really be the time the bull will settle in, especially the having expected to occur in may 2020, what the halving will first do is to create enough buy then while the bigger whales comes to play the remaining roles.

Everyone all do their own prediction according to their own understanding, but that doesn’t mean it’s a promise, predictions are good and it is always right if we stay positive if we really believe in the coin, whether the prediction is a genuine one or not, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, shockingly, BTC might even grow faster than that, we don’t know what will happen that will make people panic sell.

Until now, no one can still say exactly what happened that made Bitcoin speed up recently, there was no news or any sign that is given that would have pointed us to the right direction, so we just have to continue watching BTC perform in its own way, because his ways cannot be successfully predicted.

New is not the only thing that get people into making an investment, the bitcoin system has more to even offer to some people than the investment part, you will agree with me that BTC bull run of 2017 really created lots of awareness, and since then, many people have been developing projects that will have Bitcoin payment system embedded in it as one of the payment processors, so we have some institution that are presently developing their own technology that will incorporate cryptocurrency, which will make us have many adopters of crypto through them, such as Visa, Facebook, twitter and many more.

It is good to to go by that method of picking from the old altcoins to invest in, but even in picking from the old altcoins, we still have to be very picky, we have some projects that are about to die or some that are already dormant and would take the miracle of God for them to survive.

So we have to make sure if we are into invest in older coins, we pick from the Top 20 or we can extend it to top 30. Although we still have some very good new projects, so we should not just overlook them so we don’t miss some lifetime opportunities, we can still do thorough research on one or 2, to pick from and add to the selection of the Old coins.

This is very common with altcoins, although we have different types of pumps, the whales pump and the natural pump, whales pumps are difficult to catch and once it has been dumped, it is better not to go near such altcoins again, because they are not strong enough to recover, the only pump that recovers after it gets dumped are the ones that follows bitcoin trend, we will notice that these altcoins, no matter the dump, the moment BTC climbs again, they rise along with it.

So, with this natural pumps, we can try to strictly follow their moves, take advantage of the short profit and re invest again, this is what great traders does.

Yeah I agree, this place is what primedice became prime dice, if you check the early messages you can see all kinds of different things, its like taking a stroll in history I love it.

We are already getting all we want out of this topic anyway so there is no need for reddit just yet. I mean thats from our point of view of course, otherwise the primedice subreddit would be help in SEO sense (not like they need any) and it would create this big social media for them, twitter/instagram/reddit/facebook all needed for big companies, otherwise someone else will open an unofficial one which you wouldn't like anyway. So, this is more precaution and business thing than actually take us from here to there. If they could they would take us to their own forum instead of reddit anyway.

I believe freebitcoin is still by far the best one considering you get a big house edge on your side as well and it offers other stuff too. Like you can get an affiliate and get profit when they play dice on that website but you also get money when they claim free faucet too and than you get tickets to lottery as well.

So, all in all the more affiliates you have the more type of ways you can win, lottery is of course luck based compared to others (you get a ticket but you may win nothing) but all other options are amazingly certain, even just a click of free faucet that is guaranteed to make you and your affiliate money (no chance to lose, its just free money giveaway) is good to have. That is why I always try to put banners on crypto websites with my link to maybe get couple more from the money I make from my affiliates.

Checking news on phone is not the same as playing games. Playing games can really disrupt ones Activities for the day. I was doing that before and I remember how much delay it does to my other works because the time is should spend in other things I have my mind on playing games with my phone, so I stopped playing with my phone.

I think PC is even better because you know it’s time for game and there will be better concentration. I plan my schedule very well, I don’t gamble during the day because I am not always with the PC. So, I play better at night when I am on bed, at least I will be more relaxed during that period and would have been through with the activities of the day

And that is the truth because many  times, we do our research on the gambling sites we promote to ensure they are not scam,  the truth is most of us who promote gambling sites also gamble, it is just that we smart in playing and we don’t gamble what we cannot afford to lose.

I have a limit I set to play each day and it never exceeds. There are actually so many gambling benefits of gambling aside the ones the op has listed and ill say that gambling has at least added to the crypto users and mostly Bitcoin, many want to play to increase their bitcoins by gambling, though some loose it along the line and many gambling sites now accept crypto to gamble on their website which is also good.

That is just someone’s opinion that doesn’t hold much weight, $190 is too close to the present value of ethereum now for it to find it difficult to penetrate $190, it almost even did, when it got to $180, if not for the strong resistance that Bitcoin could not break yet to assist all of them in spiking far above that price.

But, I believe very soon ETH and other coins will double their value once BTC can break the resistance that will usher its way fully into the bull market, we are just 4 months into the new year, we still have about 8 months for more development to happen in favor of the marketcap generally, especially that of BTC that will further assist the rest.

Any ICO that can meet up with the requirement of these exchanges is surely guaranteed of listing but I don’t think that is the Major difference between them, the idea behind IEO project of exchanges is to create an avenue that will verify projects before investors can invest in it, with these through verification being done strictly by these reputable exchanges.

This makes difficult for investors to fall into the hand of ICO scammers, so IEO strictly guarantees the security of investors as regard losing their investment, while anyone can just make use of ICO to raise fund without getting verified if the project team developers are real or not and if the project is worth raising fund for.

I wasn't for the project in the first place because I believed that he was just using the privilege that is name was written in the whitepaper to get more fame for himself.

Though I believe he is still looking for fame, but I can see that the project he is coming up with is a very good one and would mean a lot in the future, this is why I am going to invest in this project even though I have vowed that I won't invest in any project anymore because a lot of projects are just out there to carry out scam activities on innocent investors.

What you read is the truth, ever since Bitcoin moved from Bear Lane to bull lane early this month, the market capitalization has been tremendously growing, I think as at 5th of this month, the total  market cap experienced an total growth of about $20 billion, which is quite impressive despite the fact that, the institutions we are expecting to join the cryptocurrency world are still yet to fully join as they are still in the preparation time.

So, by the time most of these institutions joins too this year, we should expected a bigger growth in the market capitalization that will push most coin values, especially that of Bitcoin to the moon.

If he has sold all his bitcoins in 2017, is it not sending signal that he is just trying to join other in creating FUD to the price he predicted, even though he was a bit diplomatic about his speech, it means he is eagerly waiting for BTC to fall back to $3000 for him to be able to buy again, but unfortunately, his plans would not work for now, people no more believe in news creating FUD and just has he said, $6200 will really place the market on a very fast bull run , so he had better respect himself and the future and invest now, before it gets to $6200 when FOMO will make people like him to start rushing investment.

Wow, I never really knew about this and if you data is accurate, then their ban will have a major effect on the market supply, demand will really become high leading to an increase in the cost of BTC, but since it is still a rumor as many people claim, the effect might not be now until future, we will be able to notice its significant effect on the price of the coin they mine the most which I believe should be bitcoin.

It’s a good news for present holdlers but won’t be too good for those who are yet to invest, has the coin may become too expensive for them to hold 1 of it. Giving chance to more purchase of altcoins, so altcoins holders too may feel the effect too in the long run, but why would china want to do so?
