I think I can consider this as a guide for newbies for a deeper understanding of what they should do or prepare for. This can give newbies the right path by doing their own research and having experience over time. Of course, this won't happen overnight, Continous knowledge, experience, and determination are needed on gaining this kind of advice.

If I am a newbie and see this advice, I would probably expect that these qualities is needed and I would expect that losses can't be avoided in the learning stage. This guide would probably bring me curiosity by making more research on what should I need to do.

If I am on your spot, I will think about my safety on peer-to-peer trading of course depending on the amount of deal. I know you are trading with the people you know but sometimes betrayal happens and your life might be in danger because they know you hold such an asset. As I said it will differ on the amount you are dealing with. But it is a good thing that your community does have active bitcoin users and it seems that there are many of them.

Basically, the demand would be very high depending on the status of the environment. The circulation of bitcoin would be limited and can possibly cause a massive pump or a massive dump. If people got a hard time buying bitcoin, There would be a chance that people would just settle not buying and abandon it cause whales can easily manipulate the price and will have sovereignty over bitcoin and the government would do something about this if this happened.

I agree, That friend might secretely using bitcoin or discovering it for a time now and he might just want to see the OP reaction when he got that kind of message. There's also a chance that his friend start being curious about the message he sent and might askin for some insights about it. There are many possible scenario why OP friend sent it, We need more context about it.

I don't know how people would trust this casino even the coins777 and the upcoming ones if you still have an outstanding negative trust in your accounts. A negative trust rating on an official casino account would make people here want not to play in those especially there are many good competitors around. I think it's better to settle the past issues that cause negative trust rather than consecutively making a free trial promo.

1. Scalping some coins if there's an opportunity, I'm mostly trading BTC and ETH
2.Nope, I prefer to just use our local currency.
3. We don't have tax to pay in using cryptocurrency in our country 
4. I really don't know if I will get to that point in my life hahaha
5. Still acquire some bitcoin even it falls into disaster and hodl it!

This is one of the advantages of a reliable exchange, You can get an assurance that the tokens you have will not be affected by the hacking. If a small exchange is hacked and if a hacker cleaned its hot wallet, There is a chance that the exchange hardly function anymore and it might abandon its users due to bankruptcy.  Improving the security would be a solution to the latest hacking, Everyday hackers improve that's why exchange security should be actively improved as well.

I think the most logical gift that a crypto enthusiast would receive is the bitcoin hard wallet with few bitcoins inside   This would be logical if you know that the person you will be giving doesn't have an existing hard wallet in his possession, Casascius physical coin would be great too. It's just that the loaded coin is a bit expensive. I never received a crypto-related gift ever in my life, Someday I know someone who knows me personally would be giving me some gift that is related to crypto. It would be the greatest gift I will possibly get if it happens.

I don't really look forward to every year lows but I'ved experienced many lows in each year since when I actively use and hodl bitcoin. The year 2017 is the most memorable low before, I remembered that I earned and bought as much as bitcoin as I could on the start of that year and really didn't expect to have a monstrous grow in its value at the end of the year. For now, I don't really target the lowest bitcoin value on each year, It's just better to stack them up on whether of its value.

This will only happen if the exchange rate is for you low compared to other exchange site, This could be easily the main thing for people if they know that's the case. But seeing the exchange rate in this casino, It's a bit close to other exchange and I think there's no reason to here just to exchange some tokens. In mixing assets, There are different services that offers that, Why would people bother going here just to mixed up some tokens.

In our current generation where technology is booming, There's nothing unhackable now. Banks can be breached if an excellent hacker/group of hacker want to breach a bank. Bank security is considered high and hard to penetrate but it is possible to get past through it. The bank is known to have high security that's why people are trusting it with their money and people should agree with their terms and agreement. Surrendering your personal data is one of them. This is why cryptocurrency enters, If you don't want to get controlled by the banks, Cryptocurrency is the answer. You have your own freedom to keep your asset and be responsible for what you are doing with your own money.

Fundamental knowledge is sufficient enough in some cases but we are on a crypto market and things change quickly, Trends are going in and out and without proper experience and just by relying on the knowledge you have, The success chance is reduced definitely. Working hard to make research and to gain experience is a necessity in this market and we can't just believe in what we can see in our eyes or what other people want us to see, There are different factors to be considered especially when investing on some altcoins.

The amount stolen is just mindblowing, What if the hacker tries to dump half of the tokens    This is a big loss for Kucoin and for the crypto community as well. We see Kucoin as one of the best-centralized exchange today and when hacking incidents happen like this, It would make us think that even a well-known exchange that has good security can be hacked, What more if it is a small exchange. I don't know what Kucoin will do in this situation.

I think It will depend on the people point of view if 2017 is the golden year of bitcoin, Those who experience it will surely agree that 2017 is the golden year since the price leap of bitcoin a year after that is so huge that even the public was curious what's happening. It also gave so much publicity that year because of media reporting it's growth on national television. As a crypto believer, We will all agree that 2017 won't be the last and we should expect an equal or more than what happened that year.

Some investors just want to take their part on the current market trend, As long as they can make money from it, They will just throw their money to earn more money. People are just getting tired of some unreliable project plans that gained so much in their crowdfunding and leave their investors after collecting investment from them. Investors just want to earn money and compared to shitty ICO and IEO before, They can earn real profit in the latest market trend. Those investors don't really care now that the pump is because of the hype.

If this Defi projects introduced before when ICO is on it's prime, I'm sure that everyone will just ignore Defi and there won't be a hype happening. Picking the real project over the shitty project that there is no goal is a logical choice before but today after many "real projects" became scam, Investors bend the logical way of thinking and just go with the project that can make a profit.

Well having an airdrop now is mostly on a promotion. Uniswap does give airdrop tokens and it seems to be effective, Their project got into different news articles and hyped people so much that attracted some investors that are hoping to receive some airdrop. This airdrop's main purpose in the project is to give a hype to the people that leads to the project's success. But as we know Defi project won't long since it is hype-driven.

If bitcoin loses its volatility, That's the time we can tell that the crypto market isn't acting normally. Being volatile is the nature of cryptocurrency and it is pretty normal for it to move on a crazy pumps and dumps. Our current situation is normal, especially on those mainstream tokens.

I think he is expecting to have a bull run like 2017 in this year  We can't really tell if that going to happen this year, I think you were just hyped by somebody who's telling everyone that this year will gonna be the year that a massive bull run will happen. I'm not telling that it's not possible but it's a no brainer for us to just wait for it to happen and not think that crypto is broken because it doesn't give you a bull run your expecting,

This is probably what happened and what the hacker tends to do. The account of AkosiDogie (The hacked account) is recovered, restored, and given back to the real owner. It didn't take more than 24 hours for it to recover. The referral thing might be the goal of the hacker since he knows that it won't last long for the real owner to recover the account. It just somehow gives a little bit of negative image to cryptocurrency because I've seen some comments that are giving hate speeches about crypto and most likely some clueless people will think it's true.

I remember this video karera game, Our place used to have this way back when I was younger and though it's illegal there are many gamblers devoted to playing it. People who are addicted to playing it most likely won't care if it is illegal and has a chance of being rigged as long as there's a change of winning.

Some people don't have the luxury of paying the casino entrance fee, It's one of the reasons why some gamblers just chose to play on these unsafe machines. We can't blame them for choosing it, They probably see the convenience playing on these illegal machines.

Expanding their market scope by having cryptocurrency in their site would be helpful to some of their clients, It also gave awareness to their possible users. I didn't hear this sportbook until now and this can be proof that by just expanding the payment based to cryptocurrency can give awareness but I agree that if this sportbook give a better promotion here I will notice this earlier than today. I might give a try on this sportsbook this week
