Indeed, other cryptocurrencies' market value are also in green marks which is a good makret indicator. Probably due to the hype of this last month of the year. But I doubt it would be continuous before this year end but if it will, then that would be good to have a strong start next year. If the market price would be in green marks for a somewhat consistent period (like 2weeks or three), there's a possibility that its market price will be back again at $20k and if it won't then it might stay on $16-$17k price range. Eitherway, holding for now is the best option until there is a clear sign of bullish pattern. Investing would also do so, if you can endure lack of assurance with uprise movement of cryptos' market prices.

To those people who have encountered Bitcoin and this technology in general, way back years, did you buy an amount as an investment?If not, why? 'coz I also did not.At first when this 'thing' was introduced to me, I did not even put my attention to it. For me it was just the same with other digital assets. I've invested only on year 2016. Do I regret it? Hmm nope. Never engage into something if you're not ready. If I have invested at this technology's early years, there's a bigger chance I lose profit than to earn 'coz its market value was not that big. It just became popular when its price started to go up and that was just the time I invested into it. As I've read stories of other users; many regret not buying when its price is low. But think of people who managed to hold it for years or decade; there's only a few so not buying or holding that long, is quite a normal thing 'coz that ain't simple.

Not to mention unexpected circumstances which is why for me, it is not surprising to know that there are people selling their assets inspite of their plan of holding it for decades. Indeed, the money one should invest should be also an amount he can disregard no matter what happen but things just don't work as simple as that. There will be instances wherein investors would be 'forced' to sell in order to solve problems on ither aspects or concerns. 10years is a long interval and there are many things that may happen during that period. With that, I think long term holding simply means hold as long as you can; no exact span.

Indeed, adoption of this technology won't mean that demand will increase in a sudden. It will only do so IF Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies will have a function impossible for fiat and other fiat based digital currencies other than lower cost and faster transaction as well as anonymity with transactions, which would boost demand from people to invest towards this industry. This is a long term misconception; many people believe that once more countries allow usage of cryptocurrencies for daily transaction, price would go up eventually. But that's not true. There's a bigger chance that it will have a less volatile market value 'coz its supply will circulate on a daily basis unless it would be the only currency to be used which is impossible. So once this thing happen, will there be many people seeking for Bitcoin and other cryptos telling how advantageous it is compared to fiat? Let's be honest. This industry is so popular as an asset. But if it is regarding this industry in general being accepted by more countries, it is really a good thing for this technology, no doubt.

I think the security on 'regusterint' an application in playstore isn't that hard which makes it accessible to bad people in different industries involving payments and transactions. AI have a colleague which is a programmer and he managed to list his application in the said platform and when I asked him, he said he just complied with certain requirements, which gave me this idea. But if proper background checking will be done, wherein casinos may post their affiliation with the apps in the market, I think a player would be able to find a legitimate gambling platform in his/her preference. But I suggest local gambling sites still which can be played in browsers. I think it would give you more assurance that you are playing "live" than recorded stuffs wherein odds won't be on your end.

Your analysis is the strategy and not the way how you guys get a capital to invest because that's the thing which contributed to the outcome, so that would be more helpful to be posted in this topic which you may consider. Well, what highlighted on my end is the bond which you have mentioned. Atleast whether you guys win or not (ofcourse winning would be more preferred), you have enjoyed the experience itself which is not evident to many gamblers who are just seeking money from this activity or industry in general.  What is unconventional on my end is betting at night. I am not even having basis with this one, but as I have observed my guesses turns out to be winning bets. I consider it as a coincident but I'm on a 2 week straight wins already. Maybe our brain is just more active at night which helps us to analyze accurately.

Indeed happening not only in this industry but also to real estate businesses. But there are factors being considered if you are about to buy an established business or platform perhaps in this case. Factors such as its reputation if it was released to the market already, and if it would be more profitable to do so than to build a new one regarding costing. Buyer would surely know the answer because he's the one to gauge risks. Ofcourse potential buyers would also do the same thing. Another thing is if there will be things to add on this platform which would mean additional costing for the platform. All of these, just to measure if it would be worth buying something.

Ofcourse proofs would make it more convincing. Allegations and accuse won't make sense unless it would be supported with evidence. Also, not to be biased but as other users in this topic have mentioned, this ia an old issue wherein it was also being discussed in the main thread. With regards to fake ID's and accusation of fixed matches, as well as penalties, that would be between accused and the gambling house. But if this is true, I'm sure it won't be limited to a player alone; ut will be evident to many players but why are there only few allegations coming out and without fair proofs? Which gives a more emphasis with being balanced to both ends; gambling platform and player in this case. Stake is not a new platform in this industry and for sure they are handling cases of such with basis.

Actual performance would be difficult to be predicted but atleast you can make an educated guess based on your analysis with previous matches and overall stats of a team or specific player,  which could determine the possible outcome of the match- the idea behind sportsbetting. Biases would also work sometimes but unfortunately there are times wherein resulta are being manipulated but this often happen only with small leagues or tournaments. If that's the case acceptance and moving to another sport or league perhaps , would be the best thing to do if this instance is obvious and proven otherwise you have to endure losing often unless you are lucky enough to guess which team is in favor of the manipulation.

Entertainment? I doubt. Entertainment is a big industry. But realistically speaking, gambling still has a bad image in the eyes of civilians wherein we cannot change in an instant. There will be another generation to break the bad impression. But something to appreciate are governments considering regulation through taxes. It somehow a win for this industry than to be completely prohibited.
This is unending and ofcourse, sites won't declare whether they are scam or not, technically, it is indeed subjective but on their end or simply one sided in favor of them to victimize players. No matter how you attest; if they are not really paying then they won't. The only thing you could do is to report them and to help other players avoid such platforms.
The topic is quite timely since it speaks for present reputation if this industry so somehow, it makes sense. Indeed, through years, more gambling platforms keep on rising and fortunately that included good ones which are popular at this moment. If things would be more developed for this industry, we might eventually know which is which in terms of legitamacy of gambling sites and those which are not.

Good thing that we are now seeing green marks in the market such as with 'main' tokens. A good indicator in my opinion but won't guarantee recovery before this year end. Problems and issues are still fresh on investors perspective which might give them hesitation whether to invest or not at this point. To some, it would be good to invest already but we cannot blame those investors who are waiting for a clear trend line before they engage investing in tokens of their preferences. I'm guessing that the market price could go up to $18k if green marks would a bit last long before this year end. And if not, maybe it would be firmed with $16k. So for now holding and waiting, I guess, would be the best thing to do.

Technological mining does not cause that much harm to environment. It is not literally the same with mining concerning land and minerals. It only uses electicity and ofcourse equipments. If it is only electricity which is concerned, then governments could demand miners to use solar panels. Also, it is another thing if prohibition is directly towards usage of cryptocurrency. An individual can mine Bitcoin and be not allowed to use it for daily transactions, as simple as that. Governments are just wanting taxes and they just cannot do it with currencies other than taxation. Sk if it is mining alone, then I guess it would be a blurry reason for them to ban such activity, especially if it won't be announced and such.

No matter how you look at it, exchanges are not meant for your assets to be stored with, for a long period of time. For reasons even if the FTX incident happened; people would get easier access with your funds especially if you are using mobile phone. Unlikely with wallets wherein you'll be needing passcodes from time to time you are accessing your funds which means better security.Another thing is being easily tempted with making your action such as selling or buying. Decisions should be well backed with ideas before engaging into it. If your funds will be stored in wallets, you'd be more hesitant 'moving'. These are just more practical reasons why putting your assets in a wallet, would be much better. Practical and logical reasons of why it should be done is better than to think of reasons because of the recent issue, which may just feed the worries of new ones in this industry.

I'm not quite sure. Things are just hard to predict in this industry. From ICOs, Memecoins, P2Es, and NFTs; no one managed to predict each of these trends' emergence. If I am about to guess the next trend, maybe it is again ICOs. Why? Campaigns are slowly coming back this year and I think it would continue for the next year to come. More projects are being released so I think it has a chance. But if there will be something that would rise, which is for sure, existing already in this industry, it could also be 'halving' of token which is somehow ringing a bell already this year. Bitcoin's next halving is believed to happen in 2024, and I think it could be the next big thing for this industry. I've mentioned different thing since we are talking about 'trend' and halving, alone, is not.

Well that is really a different story. People tend to use the word cryptos separated from Bitcoin because altcoins are from projects mostly. And I think there's nothing wrong with that. They are having different  attitude across cryptocurrencies. If people are used of investing not only in Bitcoin,then that's just fine. We are different individuals and we have different perspectives when it comes on this technology. Also, golden rule is to diversify your investment than to just settle with it and wait for money to come into your wallet
 Let us accept it; profit from altcoins or other cryptocurrencies are bigger than what an investor may get from Bitcoin.

Aside from profit, what are the other positive impacts of Bitcoin to one's life? Many people indeed earned huge amount of money not only from Bitcoin but to other cryptocurrencies as well. But that is enough with gaslighting its flaws. Investors cannot do their 'investing' habits without Bitcoin? There are other assets which are less risky but are profitable such as with stocks. Investing to cryptos would be more profitable but that would also mean bigger risk because of too volatile market price. We just tend to highlight positive sides of a crypto investor story. But try asking big time investors on how much did they lose before reaching that certain point. Makes it no surprising why ither investors moved out. Simply because we have investment preferences.

To some people it gives more of a challenge or simply making it more fun. But to some, perhaps those who are just into profit, they'd choose convenience or getting it in an instant to generate profit from bonuses. Eitherway, nothing's wrong; it is just a matter of gambler's preference. On my case, I'm siding with people who would prefer getting it through unlocking the feature such as complying with some in game requirements or such. I don't know, maybe I am just satisfied with making it literally as a "bonis" from playing. But with games having buy-in features,  unfortunately they are already mentioned by users in this topic and they are Money train and that zenith thing. Well, I enjoyed it but I just enjoy other gambling games more; oreferrably traditionals.

I had my first timer's luck. But after that, I've lost countless times so I temporarily sropped; I was just in high school that time and that was a card game I guess which is similar to poker. The next time I tried playing was in college already then I just came back playing three years ago. Through the years of playing, I've experienced various gambling games but I am now currently playing on sportsbetting. I find it more enjoying since I am into sports; gambling is a bonus
Atleast you have experienced and became aware of what greed is than to learn it the hard way. Given how addictive this industry is, people who are wanting to engage with this activity should really be knowledgeable of what they are trying to go into. Things are just not as easy as it may sound and one thing I learned is that, some are just lucky and not everyone has that.

Majority of cryptos' market value are falling at this period due to factors and if you guys are not new in here, you'd worry not much. Part of its volatility are periods of ups and seasons wherein prices are down or struggling to uprise, just as what we are seeing at this point. If you're quite tied at the middle, then holding would be the best thing to do and avoid selling ofcourse. If you are planning to invest on the other hand, this is a good point to buy but don't expect profit in an instant. At this moment, it is still not clear when will bullish trend enter the market. So invest only what you can afford losing(as being mentioned x10 daily in this forum LOL). However if you cannot endure market downs, then wait for the trend line to be clear before you enter.

Just a normal impression by people who are not yet aware of its potential and that is just okay except for the regrets and such. But it will never be too late to engage with this developing technology. There is still that 'promising' future ahead for this industry. For sure there are people who had the same experience; being introduced to cryptocurrency before and not paying that much attention 'coz at first it won't be interesting if you are not really into it. What makes this technology interesting is the profit to be earned from investing and its nature of price volatility, atleast for now. It may not be interesting as a currency to some at the present, but anything which generates profit is wonderful right?
