But this is now not a peculiarity of the crypto market. Just look at what happened to the stock markets around the presidential election in America. News that Trump might win has affected the entire market - not just in the US! - an drew prices down, news about Biden's victory, on the other hand, had a very positive effect.

So news affects markets in general, not just in crypto. What is very characteristic here, however, is BTC as the lead currency, which is something I don't know from the stock or bond market at all.

Exactly. He even announces new videos about lesser known coins weeks before posting them on Youtube without mentioning a concrete date to prevent pumps and dumps. That's very honest in my opinion and shows, that he definitely doesn't want to manipulate prices with his videos whereas other crytpo influencers have no scruple to shill their own bags. 

With respect, I don't think so. I can't imagine that GM in particular has the customer base that says "I'd like to pay with Bitcoin, why isn't that possible". I think if you start a poll here in the forum, who has actually ever paid something with Bitcoin, then that will definitely be a fraction of the users. Bitcoin and co. serve for many of us as a form of investment and much less as a form of payment system.

Rather, this is simply free advertising for GM to show that they are open to cryptocurrencies. It is very difficult for me to imagine that there is an actual demand behind this.

Well, by the time you're ready to learn from your own mistakes, you've probably already lost most of your capital.
If I were to start trading all over again, I would give my own self the following tip:

Never put money in the first 3 months but use paper trades. Only when you are sure that you understand the market even in the rudimentary way and do not let yourself be carried away to quick-fire reactions, then you can start to bet real money. But again, only very little at first, maximum 0.01% of your capital per trade.

This way you learn a lot, but lose practically no money due to beginner's mistakes.

What you must not forget here ... if someone has so much money that he can gamble with 10% of his money, then he has probably already afforded everything else he ever wanted to afford (status symbols, ...). If one is in such a lucky position, then probably 1 million for such players is as much as if one of us bets 100$:
It hurts a bit when it's gone, but one is far from being bankrupt.

A nice feature for sure, but of course also a completely different caliber in terms of implementation, maintenance and legal requirements. Therefore, I cannot imagine that a gambling platform would also consider and/or offer exchange functionalities.
In addition, there are now many solutions on the market with which you can quickly convert your coins from, for example, ETH to BTC, sometimes in seconds and is usually very cheap.

I think you missunderstood his posting, he does not talk about Bustadice not offering the chat box anymore. Rather, he means that many players have no interest in on-site chats, and I count myself among them.

Of course, chatboxes are a crucial feature for a lot of players, but I for myself don't pick gambling sites based on that feature.

CoinBureau is in my opinion one of the best crypto youtubers out there and not too long ago he published a video about exit strategies, how to recognize exit points and which indicators are available. The video lasts about 25 minutes, but it is really informative and easy to understand even for a trading novice:

When to SELL Your Altcoins: Complete Guide!! 📈

The video focuses on altcoins but the strategies presented can be used for BTC, too.

Of course, one thing has to be said here: Bustadice offers an unbelievably good script support and is therefore especially interesting for "high rollers" who want to place thousands of bets within a short period of time and try different strategies to achieve the highest possible profits.

Of course, Bustadice is also fun for games without bot support, but there is now a lot of supply from many different gambling platforms that are aimed precisely at the short-term entertainment of players and offer, for example, a variety of different games - but little or no scripting support. In my opinion, Bustadice has a completely different target group than Roobet, for example.

I would not limit this to (Forex) trading only, but this applies everywhere where you want to win something and hope to gain an advantage (increase of money, defeat an opponent, ...). You can see this very well in sports, for example, as soon as a tennis player throws away his nerves and lets his emotions get control over him, he will most likely lose.

It is no different in trading and a total control of one's own emotions (fear, euphoria, ...) is extremely important to avoid short-circuit actions and to end up with a loss.

Das mache ich genauso, ich verwende ebenfalls Yoroi. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Browser-Extension die man einfach installieren und ggfs. mit einem Hardware-Wallet wie Ledger Nano verbinden kann. Wie du zu Yoroi kommst hat dir ja Lydian schon perfekt beschrieben. Bitte keinesfalls per Google und co. danach suchen, die Chance, dass du auf einen Scam triffst, ist sehr hoch!

Zusätzlich gäbe es auch noch ein reines Online-Wallet: https://adalite.io/
Du musst dich dort aber jedes Mal neu einloggen und ggfs. immer wieder deinen Seed eingeben, würde adalite also nur dann empfehlen, wenn du ein Hardware-Wallet einsetzt.

---

Noch kurz zu Daedalus: Dabei handelt es sich um eine "echte" Wallet, du musst dir also für die Verwendung die komplette Cardano-Blockchain runterladen. Das sind schon einige GB und dauert dementsprechend. Yoroi bzw. auch Adalite sind Lightwallets und benötigen den Download daher nicht!

I agree with you about diversification, it is important so that a falling investment is cushioned by other investments.
Unfortunately, this only works to a very limited extent with cryptos. BTC drives the market, if it falls, the altcoins fall as well. As an investor, I must therefore see my entire crypto portfolio as a unit and must not forget or forego other diversifications (real estate, stocks, ...) - stablecoins of course left out.

You don't have very many other options, unfortunately, that's true.
You also have to keep in mind that you are using a service of the gambling platform and the platforms (not only Roobet) have an effort with it. Of course, you have to pay for this additional effort, many gambling platforms - but also exchanges - therefore charge (significantly) higher transaction costs than if you perform the transaction from the local wallet.

This can only become a problem if:

• The gambling platform always uses the same sending address for the coins
• The batches are very large, for example, sent to hundreds of users at the same time

However, both can be easily circumvented by the gambling platform using a new address for each batch transaction and keeping the batches small, e.g. only sending the coins to 15 - 20 users at once.

Apart from that, we as players should also use an address only once to keep our privacy as high as possible.

Arbitrage trading was interesting in 2015 because there were already quite a lot of small exchanges and the spread could actually be very large, even with big coins like Bitcoin. Today, arbitrage trading is almost impossible for the top 100 coins, there are simply too many bots that would immediately exploit the spread.

From time to time, however, you can find very good arbitrage opportunities with low-cap coins, where a single trade can result in a profit of 10% or more. But this nowadays happens as often as Christmas, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, I don't know how Bustadice implemented this exactly, but what I noticed is that the batch sending of the coins took place at very different times of the day. So it could be that Bustadice simply waits for the best time within a 24 hour window and then sends the coins.

For me as a user it doesn't really matter if I receive the coins within 30 minutes or 24 hours. Especially if I can save myself a few dollars in transfer fees by doing so!

Besides using existing open source bots like Gunbot, you could also develop this yourself relatively easily. The APIs of the Exchanges are usually very well documented and anyone with standard developer skills can use the API.
Your desired feature can probably be developed in 1-2 hours. If you have a Raspberry Pi to run your program on then you have a very cheap and simple solution that you can extend at any time.

Here is an easy to follow tutorial on how to write a bot for the binance API in python:

https://dev.to/nicolasbonnici/how-to-build-a-crypto-bot-with-python-3-and-the-binance-api-part-1-1864

During my time in the Bustadice campaign I got to know (and love ) the "Slow Withdraw" at Bustadice. Instead of an instant withdraw, you could choose a withdraw that could last up to 24 hours. Bustadice collected all withdrawals and transferred them in one batch, which made the fees much cheaper (5-10x cheaper).

Maybe such a system would also make sense at Roobet, as a user you only have the problem of having to wait a little longer for your valuable coins.

Unfortunately, people tend to take incredibly high risks when there is even the slightest chance of a very high profit. For me, taking out a loan in order to invest already belongs to this category of "incredibly high risks".

Banks usually do not give loans for such "ideas", if then only with correspondingly good collateral through real estate or similar.
Taking out a loan for an investment with friends or relatives I consider even more questionable. This can lead to the fact that friendships are destroyed for ever.

Long story short: Don't do it.

OT#2:

Wir mussten für den "Airdrop" aktiv etwas machen, in dem Fall an einem Testprogramm (der Ceremony) teilnehmen und uns mit bspw. Twitter-Accounts anmelden. Das ist also definitiv kein Airdrop ala Uniswap, wo einfach an alle User ohne deren Zutun die Coins verteilt wurden.
Ich habe dazu jetzt noch nicht mit meinem Steuerberater gesprochen, würde es aber erstmal als "Bounty" einstufen, da hier Arbeitsleistung als Gegenwert steht -> Wäre dann zumindest hier in Österreich einkommenssteuerpflichtig.

Für dein "Lotto" spricht aber allerdings, dass nicht jeder Teilnehmer automatisch auch Coins bekommen hat. Ist auf alle Fälle spannend zu klären.
