This is the strong point of your thread that I am strongly agree with although your all point alsmot true. Exchange themselves are involve with manipulation. They can manipulate easily if they want. Actually whales are not only manipulate but also play pump dump. To be honest whales will not sell on loss. They buy on dip and start manipulate or pump when they need to sell. Exchanges and whales both are playing with our money. They will never lose, because they are player and they are umpire. So obviously they are winner always.

Not only adoption in payment and transactions but also acceptance of bitcoin by authorities is crucial for seeing a higher price than its ATH. Manipulators are actually making this process slow down for their short term interest.

I have never been a gambling expert. I played it for fun, some time i won but as i progressed i lost everything. I don't understand how you can be a gambling expert, its just a lucky thing.

This should be understood that not all the gambling sites are legit and genuine. There are different way in which the costumers and users in the gambling sites are cheated and manipulated. Not all of them are cheaters. But yeah those who want to make money in gambling should know the ABC of gambling. Without enough knowledge, I believe you bets could be risky.

Why are you even thinking about those things? bitcoin is already applied to many services, merchants, stores and other stuffs that we can use and exchange together with real products. It's not really a problem if you ever think about what you have said.

There's already a true use case for bitcoin and the gov't is even the one that wants to integrate with it. Bitcoin isn't even forcing itself to get attached with gov'ts but the gov'ts are the ones that are pushing themselves to it, why? because bitcoin is usable and has a large market cap that they can take advantage.

So far everyone here has talked about loss and how much they have lost in gambling etc. Why in the first place do you guys enter the gambling if you cannot make money in it? It is a big industry and is valued around 530 billion dollars but if it is how the industry makes money, do not be a part of it. But there are people who are making big profits out of gambling industry so better work on the way things happen. DO not just rely on luck.

It good to hear an awesome feedback from you buddy. Although, almost windice users would have know by now how committed windice is in terms of fulfilling their promises and providing their customers the necessary services need but your feedback make things more better.

All of us we can manipulate the crypto market if we really want to do that, because we are not only user we are also a investor that can cause for the bitcoin to rise and dump. Everyone will get benefits once the market rise because they will sell their bitcoin if they want.
But if you are billionaire maybe you can control your market but only a little flow only because if you have big shares once you sell it price decreaswe but better to invest more instead of selling.

So they cannot make a profit if they are scared to trade because if they dare to trade and they are willing to learn more in trading, then I am sure that they have a chance to get the profit. Besides that, trading will be the way for them to increase the number of every coin they have and not just holding for a long time. With making a trading strategy, we could find a good time to buy and sell, and the best is we could use the chance to make a profit.

Once BTC touches the $4800 levels as speculated by you, I don’t see it getting anything below $4k levels again, it might be possible for us to see the $4k line because many people with smaller coins may sell their coin thereby forcing the price drop a bit but not to the extent of going below $4k because the major players are not willing to dance to the tune of $4k trend but rather aiming at $10k trend and above before creating any form of action on their holdings.

I am very much sure about big rally in coming months. But, we cannot be sure about any immediate movement as of now. Bitcoin market may enter into direct bull rally from here or may dip up to $3.8k levels before getting ready for bull markets. It will be a slight fluctuations hence we can make use of any dips if occurs.

I find it remarkable that people are depressed about Bitcoin being $4K USD. I remember when BTC was $60. I remember when it was $120. I remember when it was $225. I regret ever selling any BTC I have ever owned from the $60 price point and up. HODL. 

Central banks are trying to put bitcoin in their definition of money and it doesn't work and will never work.
Their definition of money is stuck in the 20th century. We shouldn't worry about it and move on and the definitions will have to be changed in time. When people were travelling on horses and shooting bows there were many laws that later changed or became forgotten when they didn't do those things anymore.

This is against children's right, at a very tender age they will not understand a thing about Bitcoin and blockchain, let them think and act like a kid and learn stuff in their own way, there is a time for everything, you can teach them when they are in high school, at that time they will know the value of money and investing.

Well a lot of those riders probably have exited at a loss anyways during 2018 lol. And there's nothing to lose if you prepare for worst days to come. I know that we've probably bottomed out already but there are times when the market just wouldn't give is a good shot, and being prepared for anything that can happen is the best thing anyone can do.

There is a specific price that they are waiting, and once they will see that, they will jump right away.
Sometimes because of the big price uptrend it will cause a FOMO and hopefully we will about to see that soon.

I have the same prediction, minimum two years, more or less. Yes, one year is already behind us, so just one more year from now and things will look much better. For me it`s the same when will it come, I think this period suits to all real crypto lovers, we need more time to earn more coins. People need to be patient, to work more and talk less, it will come when it comes, use that time for something useful, like earning more before it comes.

Very few give importance to it as an advantageous one, while majority indicate it's decentralized usage and usage on crime as a reason to stay away. With bitcoin only if experimented the truth will be understood. Technology keep things advanced, to grow through the same it is our responsibility to travel along with it.

I dont think there is a problem for using it as both.

Dont you see people keeping USD like a commodity in other countries? Why? Their own currency value is getting lower and that is why they prefer to still keep USD rather than their own.

It is also a currency. The new age had began for so long and we really need something new that would change the payment system specially the online world.
Credit cards and banking system should stay in land. Let bitcoin be the online currency and nothing else.

The growth has gone to the extreme level with funeral services accepting bitcoin. This is limited, majority of the locations hasn't got even a small store accepting bitcoin. I don't find the acceptance to be high in my country as other users mentioned. As of now I've seen more online services accepting bitcoin and apart from the same I prefer using it within friends.

Halving will boost the price dude, be patient I am sure the news about halving will make many people interested in buying, of course many people will definitely see the previous halving influence that makes bitcoin skyrocket and many people will not waste that opportunity.
