This is so true and it almost works like the domino effect where if you encourage someone then someone else encourages you and the chain goes on because all we can do in these tough times is become mentally strong rather than getting strongly mental.

Motivation but also togetherness because people in these times feel lonely and that is the biggest problem. If you have friends keep in touch with them and talk positive things, it just creates a positive atmosphere within you and them.

Yeah, because the doctors can treat the patient physically but the trauma one goes through cannot be cured by doctors. The worst thing people do when they know someone is corona positive is they stop talking to him and ignore the person. Love and kindness goes a long way and today it might be him tomorrow it might be you.

Even buying a computer these days is not that hard. I understand that if you want to buy the latest technology it is very expensive even in the most advanced nations, you could buy a computer for as high as 20 thousand dollars if you want every single detail to be the latest technology however if you want to buy "any" laptop that would work and just allow you to work from your PC, that could be found as low as 100 dollars.

When you have a mobile phone and a laptop and right skill set you could work from home and make good amount of money for your nation, this isn't really an ideal situation if you live in a place like USA but it is definitely doable if you live in India or any other place like that. Obviously getting paid regular salary for a regular career is better right now but online career is nothing bad neither.

Maybe the big huge altcoin increase will happen in 2021? I still think we are doing fine but most of the money for alts went to DeFi related projects this year and not into trusted old ones that we know of, which is why I think it is quite important we realize bitcoin may increase (or decrease) but altcoins may just stay like this and make some movement but not have a huge break out this year.

This year was defi year and they did great, next year maybe it will be something else and it could impact all of altcoins instead of a certain amount of them only, at which case the new tech or whatever trend next year will have could potentially change altcoins shape and could make them go back to their own ATH prices just like how BTC is trying to do right now.

There is really not that many coins in the crypto world that could go to zero. Sure it is a possibility and I have seen plenty of horrible scam ones that went there, but in reality as long as a project is decent and doesn't scam anyone, it never goes to zero. Dogecoin for example is literally a "joke" coin, it was nothing to invest and it was nothing to take seriously, it was created as a joke, look at how great it looks now.

So, chainlink could go up, go down or stay like this but I am 99% sure that it will not go to zero, even the worst type of fall a non-scam coin could have is 90% which happened from 2017 peak to 2019 but never really zero. Also chainlink does look like it is bringing something to the table, will people want it? I wouldn't know.

Obviously cloud storage is someone else and not you, which means you are not at the control of your own keys and as long as you do not own it yourself you are not going to like it when hackers come knocking at the door. When you use your own computer or better yet if you use something like a ledger nano or trezor so that you could have a bigger control even without having any specific PC, that would allow you to be in charge a lot better.

I would say this depends on how much crypto you own, if you own under 100 bucks you should not care about any of this because hackers do not care about that type of small amounts unless it is incredibly easy to get it, but if you own more than 1k+ you should definitely reconsider and switch to something more safe and secure.

Ahahhaha sorry guys if I made you think anything else, me and the misses are doing awesome and we are quite the gambling couple so it is not a problem. We were always like this for the past 10+ years we have been together but we are not idiots who chase losses, we usually just play within our means and we gamble with certain limits, if one spends that deposit that means they will stop gambling until next pay check, so it is more important to us to gamble with the deposit as long as possible and not important if we win or not, we care about winning because that usually means we can gamble longer with the same deposit.

So everything is fine with us, I am more a sportsbook person but I checked chips after my wife spent this much time here, I liked it as well but not as much as she did She still plays quite decently every day.

I understand the ones that pay out, and I still understand the ones that do not pay out as well. This is not an "official" result yet, and that means sportsbooks could technically hold it as much as they can until it is an official decision, there is nothing illegal going on there, in fact holding it until it is official would be the smart thing to do by sportsbooks if they are looking at it from financial stand point.

However we also know that Biden won and nothing will change that, look at the latest results, there is no way Trump finds fraud in 4 states totaling to 200k+ votes, that is not going to happen at all, which means results are in, so from financial stand point sportsbooks could wait but from marketing stand point the ones that pay out will get more love from gamblers.

We do not know if 2020 will be the year for cardano, maybe it will be the year for it or maybe it won't be. However one thing I can guarantee you that you will never know it beforehand, you can't just say it will be the year of cardano and expect people to believe you, we know that you can't see the future which means you are just making it up. Sure you can believe it, but that doesn't mean that we need to believe it either, we could just ignore that and see what happens.

I do not even know if bitcoin will have an awesome year in 2021, maybe it will have an awesome year or maybe it will have a horrible year. At the end we saw 2020 and it was not a good year, so just calm down and assume that cardano is just like any other coin in that we don't know what is going on.

That is because they are betting too big to be relaxed within their mind. Imagine if you have a balance of 1 bitcoin and you are betting 0.0001 BTC on sports would you be tempted at all chasing the loss? Never! That is because you know you have enough in the balance and you can bet tomorrow. Now similar instance when you have 0.01 BTC balance and you lose 0.005 in some sports bets now you would be so hyper and tensed that you will without even realizing lose the remaining balance in chasing those loses.

Limiting your betting amounts can help control chasing of the loses because when you are chasing loses that means you either bet too big or you cannot accept loses in life which is a terrible behavior. It is actually familiar to how some traders will sell their coins at cheap prices to avoid absolute loss while some will stay arrogant and lose everything just in hope to recover it all.

One day or other those third parties will run away with all your Bitcoins.

This is not the only time I am seeing something like this, seems like some old guys are starting to move their assets they were storing for a long time. There was an old address that moved their bitcoins and it was reported on this forum, and I think that was October, and now here is another one of the old addresses moving funds again. I’m still looking forward to a run up this year.

If I had 1000 BTC and I am still holding them at this time, I am going to sell some of them and leave the rest. The rest I am leaving there is because I still believe that there is going to be another ATH price in future.

I hate this website so much because it took my wife from me All jokes aside, she was always a big slots game person while I liked poker more, and we tried to arrange her to gamble on crypto casinos a lot before and she enjoyed them as well but the max was like 2 days and after that either she lost enough money to stop and not gamble anymore because she gets upset over losing money gambling (it is so cute ) or just gets bored. Here she got lucky few times in a row and that helped her reach to 2x of what she deposited, which now means she has a lot more time to continue gambling until she runs out of money, and boy does she get lucky! Now I am all alone watching netflix while my wife is on her phone checking chips all day lol.

All jokes aside, great website guys, definitely one of the best slot places we have ever seen!

OP is sounding like seeding an idea for on-going higher BTC tx fees. So, it can be side-chain or all new blockchain or anything; I guess it will be up to devs who feel which one is compatible and efficient.

Bitcoin cash? Then we have already such things at least in 100s.

OP, I like your idea. But, not sure about the feasibility in real time.

You sound like we need same bitcoins but on different blockchain. It may become possible if this will be possible: a trustless environment based 1 to 1 swap with backward compatibility.

Well, you can just PM cabalism13 and ask to lock the topic in that case but I see some different answers as well and I agree some are just completing their quota but really the basic aim of the forum is to have an open discussion and if we get too sensitive and don't discuss topics just because someone might have his quota filled through it, then that really doesn't make sense. Maybe some people who are jealous of others earning might think so and I am sure you are not among them since you also wear a signature and make posts in this section .

Coming back to the topic there might be not many casinos offering bonuses and promotions via telegram might be because of the nature of telegram and the amount of spam that comes with each group being made and the possibility of users interacting directly and the casino might lose it's players.

Yeah I am just betting on IPL matches these days. If you are able to provide predictions, I guess it may help for me to crack some easy profits as I feel I am not too good on predicting T20 matches.
Looking forward for your topic on IPL tips .

I agree and USD is not going to drop like a pack of cards because it is used as a international currency and it would take massive collapse to drop it's value anytime soon.

Keeping money in crypto is a good idea I agree but if you imagine USD losing it's value to inflation then there is no reason to believe that even bitcoins can drop under such times.

I believe USD is safe and hence is USDT so there is no need to create anew panic without any proper reasoning.

I haven’t been seeing people talk much about them these days the hype is dying slowly, unless another new project that will seem good to people will come out and revive the DeFi market. But right now it seems like it’s dying slowly and before this year runs out we likely wouldn’t see people talking much about DeFi.

Nah the bubble got burst already, that’s why the DeFi tokens have dropped more than 60% (majority of them). It’s not new, I was already expecting that to happen, we have seen other similar things that came out and trended for some months and suddenly they burst and everything is over.
