Knowing how cryptocurrency investment works and what it actually entails when it comes to the reason why you should be investing, it is something that is only going to be possible for someone who is even ready to want to know.

What a lot of people want to know this days is how they can get rich quickly and they are not understanding that the fact that they should be investing now is because they believe in the future tomorrow and they stand to gain a whole lot from it, but how can you be able to focus on the future, when your sentiments are affecting the way you think in the short term?

People will keep losing a lot of money in the long run as long as they do not end up putting their minds in check and this is the reason why not being able to understand why you are in a space of investment and knowing the main reason and benefit of being an investor and not just benefit for you but a huge value to the whole world, will always make you to take the wrong steps in the long run.

People put in all their savings because they heard of the promise of a moon, this is a currency and not a get rich quick scheme and until people started getting that into their thick skulls before they will start realizing how to go about things.

I still wonder up till date though, why a lot of people tend to attribute bitcoin to criminal activities as if, looting over the years have not been existing?

Criminal will always find a way to do their dirty works no matter what, but one thing for sure is that bitcoin is even pseudo anonymous and for a criminal to have converted funds to bitcoin, most especially for a huge sum like that, it must probably be through exchange, which we know it would be hard to get such sum from exchange without even a KYC.

Like you said, transfers can always be done across board without having to hold it on you, but rather than looking at the bad side of things, it is a lot better when we look at the value it has actually created and will keep creating.

It is not a surprise that trading and many other sectors can be really getting more for their buck if they used blockchain systems however this does not mean anything will change any faster. Maybe in austria ? But not in general, as long as there are no discounts on taxes for people who uses blockchain we will not see a fast change of pace on adopting blockchain.

The main reason for this is that yes blockchain can make some business' better however it is currently running as it is so why change something that is already working. However, newer companies start of with blockchain systems which means over the years we will be filled with blockchain systems but not quickly.

Actually, a lot can be found on that part of the forum but at the same time, what is important for any bounty hunter is to try as much as possible to at least do some diggings by themselves to be sure they want to be participating in what they can invest into. Actually, anyone who values their time will not want to waste it on things that are irrelevant, so it is imperative for every individual being a part of a bounty campaign to try as much as possible to do due diligence on any project they want to join which encompasses checking out the team and looking for product availability.

Yes, Ethereum will not be affected in anyway. Ethereum is a project and Vitalik is not indispensable as anything can happen. It is more like saying when Steve Jobs dies, did Apple crumble? No, it did not and we still keep seeing apple in the same light as we have been seeing it. One thing is that the market will move on, Ethereum will move on as there are so many developers on board and we will only have a name to remember for Vitalik for coming up with some smart contract platform in the long run. At least, he is a unique figure in this space whether we like it or not.

I am able to understand your concern over being a centralized project. I just wonder about 1000s of other coins which are all being taken care of its one developer or group of developers but if something will happen to them, how it will move to next step. I had never thought in this perspective but now onward need to analyze on this matter more seriously.

Sports’ betting is actually a different ball game compared to every other form of gambling which I believe really that with some good analysis sometimes and knowing how to manage the risk as well as your funds, you can be successful at it.

I am saying this not because I am a sport better, but I have seen people analyzing matches before and even though sometimes it is centered on luck as things may not work as planned, but most of the time, things get to turn out the way they analyze it and I can imagine how people in that category would be fairing over time when it comes to sport betting.

So many people that have ended up losing so much in gambling today are those who are just so particular about trying to recover losses, chase winnings and so on, all in the name of not having the right mindset before even venturing into gambling. Gambling can be emotional draining if you thread on the wrong path and that is the path a lot of gamblers tend to take. Self-control is the only thing that has always helped a lot of gamblers today from losing themselves, but once you give up that self-control by not knowing when you should tell yourself it is enough, then that is the start of a huge problem.

It is still very possible to make a lot from ICO if you are patient, you know where you are channeling your bounty energy by selecting the right and reasonable projects with future and you know the potential in the long run is huge. That is usually what a lot of bounty participants usually do not get to do.

Normally, choosing a path of participating in bounties or investing in ICOs all depends on each individual. I do both if I feel it is a project I really need to invest in and add more, and at the same time, I participate in bounties as long as I get paid for some promotional service I can render. So at the end, it is all relatively dependent.

There will always be good ideas and there will always be bad ideas, it is only left for you as an individual to either know how to identify the good ones from the bad ones. I would say nonchalant attitude and laziness is what has made a lot of bounty participants to end up participating in a project that is not there to bring anything to the table and all the team is just after is to siphon all the money they can in the long run.

Scam is something that we cannot remove at the moment, and it is left for each individual to always do their own diligence before being a part of any project. Most bounty hunters usually do not see themselves as investors, which is the reason why.

It is even one thing to be actively monitoring the market and it is another thing to know what you are actually monitoring.
Day trading generally is very hectic and there is absolutely no doubt about that, which is not something new anyway, but the thing is that as long as you know what you are doing, the chances of really doing well hugely is there.

Now, that knowing what you are doing is something a whole lot of people do not want to get enough patience to be able to do right and they just feel as long as they just start, learn from experience, things would be good. I have never even advised a new trader to start with day trading in the first place.

Yeah, and the best way to make right decisions, is to have a great knowledge of the space you are in and what you are doing. Naturally, without knowledge, you are lost and that perturbs me when I see a lot of people tending to rush into something without trying as much as possible to gain the knowledge they will need to thrive in that space.

You cannot consider going into an investment if you do not have exactly what it takes to be able to understand the investment area and be able to make quality decisions that would help the investment in the long run. Making profit in cryptocurrency is the same way, which has to do with the knowledge you have and the decisions you make with those knowledge.

Even the market cap as far as I am concerned got there via series of manipulations as long as it is a centralized coin. Sure, they may have experienced some development lately with the Xrapid project, but that is all it is. Being centralized means easily manipulated and as long as the team holds most of it, the chances of instigating FOMO by pumping the market up is always going to be there. Those behind ripple like you have said are the ones doing all these and generally anything related to being a banker's coin sucks and as far as I am concerned, Ripple sucks!

I would even say the solution to this market is that people should just stop talking nonsense just because they just want to increase their post counts. It is the same nonchalant attitude to learning and not being able to come up with something tangible that has made so many people over the years to end up making terrible investment decisions because they have refused to learn.

People tend to get problems surrounding them as long as they want to keep the problems coming themselves. If you want to stop having market problems, then seek knowledge and be able to add to the society, not like this!

The rise in price of bitcoin in December was actually expected even though no one expected it would be that huge which the outcome of it is where we are presently. The decline was very much expected and being a bull year throughout last year, we ended up seeing a bear year, but with the way things are going and with the optimism in the market, I want to believe that Q4 is something that would bring about some good moves in the crypto space for most of the market.

Market is bound to always go crazy most especially when it is more speculative in nature, so I guess this is something we should all expect. By crazy, I also want to denote the upcoming surprises which may happen in the remaining weeks of 2018. Expect the unexpected in coming weeks.

We are not even close to the real price of bitcoin yet. Probably you do not have an idea how low adoption is at the moment and the fact that with more development, mainstream adoption and thereabout, there is still a huge room for growth as far as I am concerned.

Presently, the value of bitcoin is just being stalled inside a triangle but that does not mean it would not eventually take to one direction in the next few days. What this direction is going to be is one thing no one can know yet, but with time, I guess we will eventually get to see it anyway. So in that case, I would not want to put my mind on any stability within this region.

Financial crisis erupting is something that is inevitable and we are beginning to see the signs glaringly with all the trade wars and some economic policies going on in most countries. It has happened before and it will most definitely happen again even though we may not know exactly when.

This was the main reason why Satoshi decided to come up with something decentralized so as to be able to wade off all these bullshit that revolves around fiat and the usual centralized system and in this kind of scenario when a lot of smart people will be looking for a safe haven, I can pretty much imagine how the growth explosion might be for the crypto space.

Yeah, and so far we have moved past that gradually and now in the digital money age and even within the digital money ecosystem we keep seeing changes as we started seeing a lot of countries go cashless even though the digital notes are tied with physical and now we are having cryptocurrency which certainly is what I refer to as the new age and the future of money and payment.

We may not be there yet, but we are definitely getting there and I really do not see anything stopping us, which over time, we will get to see improvements in technology and even newer ways of doing things.

There is no trick or whatsoever you want to call it that would supersede the idea that luck is actually the main thing when it comes to gambling and it does not have anything to do whether you are a beginner or not.

I understand plainly what you are trying to say, considering that you may want to make use of some strategies to at least be able to have a long game and have something probably to play by when it comes to the rules you have placed for yourself, but really, it all still balls down to luck at the end of the day which would determine you losing or winning.

Don’t deceive yourself mate, I do not consider any form of expertise when it comes to gambling. Gambling is all about the luck and even if you have some strategy or some skills you feel you can make use of to play the game and may be have an advantage to some extent, it still all balls down to luck eventually. People get it all wrong when they think that gambling is something they can be able to at least do well and be able to get something substantial from it in the long run once they are skillful at it, which is some fallacy that always backfires at the end of the day.
