I believe uniswap as a token is not really "that" important and loved if you ask me, because it is tied to something that makes it powerful but people like the thing it is tied to not the token itself. Do not get me wrong people do enjoy the token as well, I am not saying it is a nothing token but all I am saying is that the amount of people who uses uniswap as an exchange versus people who invests into uniswap are wildly different numbers.

For example, people who locked money in uniswap at liquidity providing is bigger than the marketcap of uniswap, thats a good example of what I am talking about. At the end of the day it could be definitely a good solution if we could have uniswap uni token to gamble, it is not really a bad thing to add a new token and it is definitely something positive to have another coin, specially one that has this much customers and community behind it.

I had a friend who lived near wherever Kucoin was (I really do not know where they are) but he said he was close to kucoins servers and security related stuff and he went to visit it. He even shared photos from outside and a few from inside premises but not where the real servers were for security reasons. He was an IT guy so he wasn't really foreign to this topic and he said that over 10 years of working in IT industry Kucoin had the best server maintenance and security he has ever seen, he said he moved to kucoin with ease after that visit knowing that it was impossible for kucoin to scam anyone after spending that much money and effort and it was also nearly impossible for them to get hacked as well. I believed him but for some reason I just use binance .

I was part of something like that because I got it for free and it was insanely difficult to sell it without destroying the whole market. There was two main problems one it was the fact that I got it for free so it meant if I sold it I would be doing a disservice to my friend who created it, there was about 200-300 dollars and he was working hard to get it known, if I sold it all I would drop the price more than half of it and it was already quite cheap.

However he gave me so much that it was almost 5 thousand dollars at the time so I wanted to sell it but also didn't want my friend to know it. What I did was I sold about 70 dollars and bought about 50 dollars of it creating a bit more volume, which attracted more people interestingly and eventually upped it to 150 sell 100 buy and got rid of it in 2 months. Price was higher when I left and the volume was x3 higher as well.

We can't just tell people "if you do not want to pay 10 bucks you should go with some other coin" like they are the wrong ones. We are talking about stake here, first of all stake could pay everyone's fee and would still be getting a ton of customers but leaving that aside, I believe for someone who has low amounts of money 10 bucks is huge and they may want to pay less, at that point we all know stake collects a lot of payments together and sends them all together which makes it cheaper so at the end of the day stake could offer 5 bucks and even less for transactions.

So, to tell the customer to use another coin like it is their fault that stake charges 10 bucks is not really a nice move, it is really victim shaming and you should be ashamed of it. I say stake could basically drop their charge 50% and combine it and send all transactions combined whenever it reaches to a point, customers can wait 1-2 hours that is fine.

People are not really realizing what that correction was and they are still looking for a new one and that gives me a bit of a hope. That 41k to 28k was the real correction like you said and I agree with that 100% however people still think that it will be like 2018 where we fall to 3k price when in fact we are not going to be like that at all, that is the same thing as what happened nobody should be worried about another 3k. The fall from 41k to 28k is already over 30% fall anyway, and 30% fall is a HUUGE fall so you should be basically upset that we went down that low, considering a 80% fall is just being pessimistic and nothing else. I personally think we will not go under 20k for a very long time.

Getting better at crypto trading doesn't really mean you could go towards altcoins, you could do that of course and it all depends on personal preference but you could also stay in bitcoin but get to much riskier trading. Let's say you are a great trader and rarely ever lose money and make great trades on bitcoin, if you do not want to move to altcoins, you could basically just focus on going to margin trading and high leverages that way you would be capable of actually profiting a lot while still staying in bitcoin.

I am not saying this like an encouragement, because I have never traded in high leverages, tried leverage trading with small numbers for a while but it was just under a week and never liked it, so it is not a suggestion. All I am saying is that there are people who do things like that and that is why I was pointing towards, you could basically do this if you want to.

I personally think that locking your money is not a good decision, not just because it may never open if the price never reaches that point and that is a risky you are taking, but also if you want to have the personal control over your money you should be able to rule it however you want and have the talent for it.

What I mean by this is the fact that if you have the chance to sell all of it with one click but you do not do it that means you have a superior control over your money versus you not being able to sell at all. That is why I think it is quite important we have to figure out crypto is not really controlling us, we are controlling crypto, as a whole community. Holding is a great investment method, DCA is great, keep investing into bitcoin or any specific good alt you want and keep doing that without selling and you will definitely have a better future.

There are few other things that could be added into this but this is the main thing. However this is not a small thing neither, we have to realize that this is actually a quite good deal and we should be happy about it. Think about it this way, governments are regular people, they are not another species, which means they have motives and agendas, this causes money to be something very important in the world of politics since they would act depending on whatever makes them richer, and that is why I have to point out that we are in a situation where we have to realize crypto gives us freedom from it.

There are no people controlling it, which means whatever bitcoin is today, will be the same decades later, and that type of power is nowhere to be found in any other currency. This is not just a small difference, this is a whole ideological change that we need.

I have done that with bitcoin and I am fine with it. On early days of bitcoin I have gambled 150 bucks with bitcoin, If I am not wrong that was a bit under 2 bitcoins at the time, and I ended up losing it. Today that 150 bucks is 60k+ dollars, and would have changed my entire life.

However I am not really living with a regret of that move because of two main reasons, one of them is the fact that I would have sold it if the price reached over 500 bucks, I wouldn't have waited for it to reach 10k+ let alone 30k+ price there is no way I can hold that long.

Secondly and more importantly if I was capable of figuring out how high it would go, I would have put everything I owned into bitcoin and not just 150 bucks I got some where, since I didn't see bitcoin going this high, I just had 150 bucks, that is proof that I never really understood what it could be in the future.

I do not believe anything bad could happen neither. Sure it was a huge increase and I understand the scare, however "although crypto is volatile, price moves according to candlestick pattern" is not correct in my view, I do not agree with that. What happens is, you go back in retrospect and you see that it moved in this pattern and that pattern and you put the same patter in the future and see something horrible and get scared, whereas the real situation is patterns work in retrospect because you take a look at it that way, but doesn't apply to the future because it all depends on what's going on.

We could have grayscale putting 1+ billion dollars in shorting bitcoin, sell all their 500k+ bitcoins, earn from 100x leverage shorting,  and eventually have 100+ billion dollars from all the way bitcoin drops. However we could also have them finding another investor, like a huge morgan stanley, jp morgan type of one and get another 20-30 billion dollar investment to buy bitcoin and we could be 50k+ in a day too.

Yeah, we can clearly see that 35k is the right answer here, unless something major changes in the next 24 hours, we are going to see being closer to 35k easily. However what we are going to see next month is going to be a very difficult deal.

We are not in a all laugh and joy situation right now, we are having hard time going up, it was very easy to drop as low as 29k and even though I find that still a very high price, I can't say the same for people who bought at 30k+ whereas going up is not that simple, sure we had a spike recently thanks to elon musk putting bitcoin on his bio and wallstreetbets suddenly crashing here and buying all bitcoins but they left and we dropped again. So, I would say we are going to have a bit of a hard time and I believe we are not going to be able to actually end up going up that easily, it will be very difficult.

The price is too close to two bets and I am not sure which one it will become, the top 2 is definitely the top 2 possibility as well. We have 35k to 40k one and we have 32k to 35k one, those are the most likely outcomes as it seems but they are the top 2 as well on wagered. Do not assume that most likely ones are always the most wagered ones, I would say 30-32k range is the third most likely one but the 40k-50k range is the third most wagered one, people assume it will be 40k+ by the time month ends so you can see that it breaks the possibility chain.

I would say 32k-35k is definitely the most possible outcome, since we can't gamble anymore I can't really talk about it and some person may see it and go wager and lose money because of me, it is really 90%+ at the 32k-35k level by the end of the month, we have picks and ups but it is going to be 100% certain by the day's end.

That is the case in anything that becomes big and hyped. When ICO world started there were only a few one that was really good and all the other ones sucked, I could name like maybe 10 or 20 that was "decent" and few that were really good, all the rest? They ended up with almost nothing, they were literally just a way for the creators to make money and that's it, they got hundreds of thousands of funding and used that for personal gain and the end, coin was gone.

Same happened with almost anything, STO, IEO and now DEFi as well, people saw that investors put money into defi and they are creating useless worthless stuff just so they could actually profit from it, do pre-sales, and mint some for themselves and jut let that be. That is the case for majority and it is not a shock, tomorrow if something new becomes popular same will happen there too.

Banks? I mean you do know that you could put anything you want on a bank vault right? There are personalized bank vaults, not those huge funny "let's go rob a banks vault" type of thing, those are rarely in some places, others do not even have a huge one, it is just a regular room size usually.

However what I am talking about is the regular personal vault things that are basically drawers but opens with keys from you and the bank worker, so you can go there and put anything you want and nobody can open it without your key or the banks key, if they steal your key, they still have to convince them that they are you, and bank won't bite it, so basically it is as safe as it gets (pun intended).

You could have like 10 different usb and put it on 10 different bank and make sure that none of that would get hurt, or just do it for one bank and put 2 copies that should normally be enough.

There was a decent sized increase in bitcoin as well, I think he put bitcoin on his bio and that triggered many others to do the same and it lead to people buying bitcoin like there is no tomorrow. This all ties to wallstreetbets if you ask me, people there who couldn't do anything when the markets were closed decided to run to bitcoin and doge for extra income and they bought and they sold and then they went back to buy more GME stock instead.

I feel like this is not going to help the crypto world a lot, it is going to end up with those people who get hyped so much to get involved in order for personal benefit and not for crypto reasons and get it out as quickly as possible to go out and fight wall street with the money they make from the crypto markets. Elon Musk is just a pawn in the game that shows the direction but there is a whole ship that works even without him as well.

Honestly I have one of the shocking ones as well, sure we have seen bigger numbers before but actually living it is something else. I had a 22 loss streak, and that was one of the worst days of my life, I actually tried to calculate my wager based on 20 loss streak would not bankrupt me, so that means I had chance to lose as much as 20 and still would recover on 21st bet if I won, and somehow I still managed to lose 21 in a row, and had a payment coming my way during that time and deposited there as well and lost that too right back so it became 22 in a row loss.

I have to say I would agree that it was provably fair, it was just-dice back in 2014 or so when it became super popular with their first off-chain betting system (either them or primedice was the first) and I gambled for many times before I had that 22 loss streak, but life happens, what can I do.

Unfortunately those people who make mistakes due to being new in the crypto world and thinking there is something talked about that would go high are the reason why they will not be making a lot of profit in the future neither.

This is crypto we are talking about and if you are not sure about what you are doing and depending on someone else to do your thing, you are about to lose a lot of money because of it. I personally think that the best way to approach is always find the best crypto you want to invest yourself.

Look at bdo for example, it is bdollar on binance smart chain and it has been paying people so so well for the past few weeks and people who invested on it made incredible amount of return, nobody heard about it, only a few people did, it was just in a few million dollar range for all its existence and people argued it would be bad, but the ones that invested made 3x of their investment in just 2 weeks, finding those are incredibly hard and very very risky but when you do you make great returns.

It is really a freedom thing we have right now, if you came in at 2017 you are not too late, I came in earlier than that and I can say that since bitcoin was first created all of these situations were created in order to help regular retail investors to get away from the stock market and the banks that screw them over and find a place where they can make a profit among themselves.

I personally believe that making a profit here is ten times more important to making a profit anywhere else. Plus if you can build a strong portfolio that can test the time and do not sell, in 10-15 years we are all going to be very very rich, these prices will be tiny compared to what it can be in 10-15 years. So we should all stop caring about if it goes down, and just focus on buying more and more, even after it reached this peak again we should keep buying more.

Honestly there are way too many people I know that thinks that way. My spouse plays on spins with maybe 2k+ spins per period, she doesn't gamble everyday and that is good but when she does, she deposits money and keeps gambling on everyday for a very long time on the same thing. My spouse is not even after making a profit, she just likes the fun, so most of the time her gambling ends when the money ends, is that 100 spins or 2000 spins? All depends on luck but that is when she stops.

So, I know the feeling some people have over believing that next one is the big one, I have seen it live, I have seen with my own eyes that people do have gamblers fallacy, even if I wouldn't realize my own, I have seen it on others so I know.  It is really not a bad thing if they can keep it under control and not ruin their finance and just do it for fun like they suppose to.

Unfortunately gambling is a bit like that, a lot of people gamble and a lot of people lose, because they do not know how to stop. I would love to say there is a cure for that, but unfortunately only thing that can stop them is themselves.

Casinos nowadays even allow you to mail them and close your account and even ban your IP just to help you get rid of gambling addiction, most casinos wants to make money from gamblers who have fun there, they wouldn't want to have gamblers that lose their food money, because if you keep gambling 50-100 bucks a month for 50 years to have fun that is more profitable for a casino than you gambling 10k and lose it all and starve to death. At the end of the day I would say best case for us would be to make the information of being able to get banned at a request more popular, if we can make that more popular we can help few people.
