There's a very little possibility IMO.

Look at the country that loses their trust to their government, the country is not progressive anymore and there's a lot of crime happening.
We don't want that to see in the future, that's the reason we elect government officials to implement the law and govern people.

Fiat will remain, bitcoin or crypto might grow but it will not be as acceptable as fiat, there's a limitation on using crypto as whether we like or not, we are still subject by the law which the government has the power to implement it, and let us not think if they still believe they have the trust of the majority, they will always put their interest which they think good for the many, and IMO that is not crypto.

The government will allow the casino to start operating but it will not be secretly done, government are suppose to be transparent, they created the law and they implement it, so if it's really coming from the government, they don't need to hide it. Tax is a public thing, the public are aware of it and we know how much the government have collected from certain businesses including casinos of course, so no government that is not corrupt who would do these things, otherwise those agency that monitor it might be at risk of getting sued.

Top coins means you already included altcoins on it because there is only one coin in the market that is considered as bitcoin, the rest are called altcoins and there are thousands of coins listed in the altcoins market.

In addition, speaking of FOMO, it happen not only on bitcoin but on altcoins as well, in fact if you remember, during the last bull run where FOMO was evident, bitcoin wasn't the most profitable but some coins in the altcoins market.


That's the gamble we have to play, with very less liquidity price could be more volatile, and if we fail we will be a bag holder in the end.
Hence, if you are afraid of taking a high risk, better stick with bitcoin or altcoins with good liquidity in the market.

Correct, if we compare it with crypto investing, it's like investing a coin that has a very low value now and you think it will rise in the future, therefore you risk now but it's considered a very high risk.

Everyone should put in their mind that anything or any game that has a house edge, it will never make a gambler win consistently in the long run.
Games can be fun, and we think we like the game and we can win it, but sometimes we forget our real chances of winning, so we lose in the long run and that's the only time we realize that it's because of the house edge.

It's hard to say they are holding because as a government, they should be transparent on how they will manage the wealth of the nation.
Also, it's kinda odd that a government who like a centralized policy investing in a decentralized system, if they would like bitcoin to be a success in the future, then they should be legalizing everything to give way on improvement of the adoption process.

Bitcoin has always been an speculative asset, being a store of value is sometimes makes people doubtful due to its price volatility.

This thread belongs to the gambling discussion I guess.

But anyway I'd like to give my opinion, this is a very simple question but we can find a lot of information about its probability, at first look, you can tell that the probability is 50/50 but actually it could be not because depending on the form of the coin, the head and the tail is not always equal, or the other side could be heavier.

I think OP has another extra funds to buy 32 ETH if in case his BTC is not enough to buy 32 ETH.
The only important here is if we believe that ETH will pump, once the ETH 2.0 will be launch, we can always consider buying ETH at any moment now since the price is still cheap, if you have that instinct just go for it as sometimes it could hunt you when it will lead to a big regret of not buying.

It's all about instinct because in reality the market is very unpredictable.


As the schedule is approaching, I would not expect for ETH to drop below $200, but I could be wrong, it's really up to the OP and he should based on his personal analysis and not from random people.

That prediction might not be too much if that is not coming from McAfee, the problem is he does not have a reputation anymore, so whatever he will say, people will not believe on it. It's true that he has predicted the right price before, but it doesn't mean he will be right again, and looking at his past mistakes, it will just file up that people can no longer believe in him, maybe there are still some who will believe but sooner or later they will also become as one of his haters.

I witnessed the pump, but it seems like it's already over now.

When there is a big event in crypto, people usually make an speculation and its good if Media will be attracted as well as it would help to bring the hype higher. As we can see, bitcoin is now struggling to break $10,000 and that is because the hype is already over.

At the moment that bitcoin is still not that stable, I believe it will  only just move side ways or pump and dump which we can always take advantage of instead of panicking. My way of enjoying bitcoin's volatility is to always buy at dip and when there's a big event happening, I always buy the rumor and sell the news.

Investing does not easily give you money, you refer to 2017 which is a golden era for bounty hunter, then I guess bounty hunters are still looking for that same situation where they will not invest but they will just earn without risking any money.

Time will come that the market will be bullish again but actually when the market is not bullish, we can't expect we will be able to earn a good amount from bounty hunting, we need to adjust and change our strategy, investing is good if you have a capital but if not, better find a job outside crypto since as of the moment our earning in crypto is very unstable.

At least bitcoin did not dump, so I guess it's any time bitcoin could pump to $10,000 again because it was stable at over $9k range in the past few days. I did dump a bit after the halving, but look at the price now, what's the reason why it's still pushing uptrend, maybe we can consider that bitcoin is due for a rise post halving, but like you said, it's very unpredictable but let's just continue to believe as bitcoin is a kind of asset that always surprises us.

I would like to believe that bitcoin will grow in the future, this is a currency and investment that anyone can use.
it's a global currency, so it should be bigger than a currency of the certain nation, if some experts believe that bitcoin will rise $100K to $1 million, then we should expect it will make the founder and the big holders one of the richest in the world if not the richest.

Making satoshi to be the richest in the world would already put bitcoin in the map and it will lead to big adoption.

It seems like the rate of the people infected with the virus is not slowing down and even if it slowed down but they have the biggest in the world with over 1 million people infected with the virus, without a proper measure, the virus will easily spread, therefore if the government has no measure to prevent the virus from spreading, they better not force opening this kind of establishment too soon.

Based on my experience in a project that I participated in the past, the buy back usually happen in an exchange, they will set a rate and the number of coins that they will buy back, so investors that does not anymore trust the project, they can sell their coins and leave, but for some, they might continue holding and wait for the project to be more develop or wait for the next scheduled buy back.

So what would happen to ETH if less project will use its platform, it will not grow, right?

BNB is an exchange token but it's not heavily reliant on Binance since it can be use for online transaction as they have their own blockchain already, they develop their own because they are planning to compete with the best platform in the market, decentralized or centralized, for me, it does not matter anymore since its about on how people will see the future of project.

The first thing we do is understanding the tax law relating to gambling, every country there's a different law on gambling and in my country the law on gambling is not define, and therefore most people are not paying their tax when they win. Also, I am just a gambler who gamble on sites that is operating within my country and I think the closest that would pay their taxes are those who are constantly gambling in a physical casino.

I think altcoins will likely increase if bitcoin will reach at that level, but maybe not as profitable like in the past, possibly a recovery only for altcoins but if Bitcoin will rise further then maybe we will see altcoins to rise more since it's hard to stop the FOMO and when the market is in FOMO, no TA can help a trader since movement are mostly uptrend.

If XRP would dump, it would still at top 10, TETHER just have a good volume at the moment since people are putting their money on it, but they aren't really investing, so things could be temporary and XRP will get back on its slot.

I am not a fan of XRP either, anything that is centralized except BNB, ... I would rather invest in a coin that is undervalued right now and hope it will increase in the long run but we can't deny the fact that XRP has a big community and supporters.

not sure if that would really help for online transaction, what I have in mind is that since the world will be in economic crisis, the value of our fiat will decrease and therefore we should be looking for a good investment opportunity to protect our money from inflation and crypto or bitcoin is the answer for that, at least for people who believe in crypto.

I'd love to see that ETH hitting to the moon, however, I don't think that ETH 2.0 is enough for that big achievement.
For ETH to rise that big again, I like to believe that it needs bitcoin to hit to the moon first, like a new ATH that would make this market crazy once again.
