But everytime i remember those days gives me motivation to not becoming a gambling addict for i know there is no future ahead of me
That's a good story. In reality everyone should have such story so that they can stay away from being addicted to gambling. I also get motivation from my biggest lose. I made a lot by playing couple of hours at a row and lose everything less than an hour. Controlling our self from getting in will surely give chances not to fall into gambling addiction. Not really hard if we think it and we know what we are doing, it is our own decision who made it and we can lift it up if we want to. Many millionaires or billionaires came into gambling just for fun and they never mind if they loss but for those whoa are in limited resources, they actually wanting to win and that makes their life miserable. Actually our only enemy from being addict is our self and no one else.imagine that self control can stop this stupid wrong doings from happening but the problem is gambling really is undeniable addicting most specially in time where we are chasing to recover our losses or to gain instant amount And from where does this gambling addiction comes from ? Going in the root cause will show that it is basically the greed which makes us addicted to gambling and if we are able to overcome this greediness than i am sure we will not see sad gambling stories which yield to death in extreme cases.

Ill go for fiat for now. Bitcoin's market value is fit for holding until the market becomes stable. It also makes me have more resources when the prices are still low. A few bets maybe but not as many as possible. We can still have fun using fiats and i think that has no difference at all.
I think it is better for us to not playing gambling for now because we still used fiat, we still want to see bitcoin and altcoin market to go up in someday. I think by take a break for a while from gambling, it could help us to refresh our mind and we can do another thing so when we decide to come back in the bull market, we could have a new power ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) In the bear market, it will be good for us if we can just hold bitcoin or altcoin, so we don't have to spend on unnecessary things if we are not selling to make some profit. But if you still want to play gambling with fiat, then you are free to choose but still be careful because you can lose your money. Yes, crypto are valuable assets and keeping in view that one day bitcoin will rise to 50K or more, it is not wise to risk it in gambling. It is better to keep the crypto assets save with us. Doing gambling with fiat is good option but still do not risk the amount which you think is not affordable to lose.

Everyone should understand that gambling is good only in moderation, excessive enthusiasm for gambling leads to disastrous consequences. If you want to teach someone how bad gambling can lead to - show him examples of players who have lost everything in life because of the game.
If you want to tell anyone about the gambling, then you should tell do justice and tell both sides of the gambling, Good and Bad, advantages and disadvantages. We should tell both aspects and leave it to the person to decide whether gambling is good or bad for him. We should not force anyone to join gambling.

Some crypto-currencies exchanges are charging their customers extremely high fees for withdrawals, and I always try my best to avoid using their services, because I believe one of the main reason for using crypto-currencies instead of fiat money is to save money on transaction cost, and it totally makes no sense to me when I see the high withdrawal fees charged by some of the crypto-currencies exchanges.
Cryptocurrency Exchanges want their customer to keep the funds within the exchange. In order to discourage the withdrawal from the exchange, they charge high fee. I myself keep some funds always in the exchanges even if i am not trading. I know that if i move my finds out to my wallet, then few days later i might have to trade and transfer funds back to exchange,so to avoid High transfer fee i keep my funds within the exchange.

so my account has just been frozen for no reason i use it to transfer my mining earning to btc and they froze my account out of nowhere and they are reading my support tickets but just not answering them, with my .25 btc worth of coins in account. anoter cryptopia scam coming ? i suggest pulling your funds out of there for now ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) i loved yobit for the fact that it had tons of altcoin but now 90% of wallets are offline with no response from admins or yobit team and now they are randomly freezing acounts. Do what you will with what ive said but if it goes down due to (hacks) cant say i didnt tell you so I think we should all avoid yobit and other small exchanges which do not have good customer support. The exchanges which often have such withdrawal, account frozen problems are likely to get scammed. Recently we saw cryptopia being hacked and people losing their big funds there. Yobit is a pump and dump exchanges and mostly coins listed there are pump and dump ones. Also there customer support is not good and i will surely not recommend anyone to use that exchange.

I don’t think the next halving is the last hope for bitcoin. IMO, adoption and other stuffs can help to push the price of the bitcoin as well. But no doubt, halving can help to push the price as well.
therefore my hope is this year with the help of users who want to adopt bitcoin that will help bitcoin to experience price increases in recent years There’s so many ways to pump the market, if there’s a new improvement with bitcoin it can bring good price. The next halving will be great also but I think this is not our last hope. I agree that the mass adoption is still the key for the growth of this market, bitcoin moves slowly but surely and we will reach it soon. By the time the next bitcoin halving takes place, many institutional investors will already have entered the market and i hope market will already be in bull trend. This halving will future push the price up and we will see some very big high prices in bitcoins & altcoins which we cannot imagine at the present time.

Now it is a very good idea to enter into the crypto market because still, the prices are very low in the market, once the market starts recovering means we might see the prices of altcoins will start kicking again. People who want to invest better this is the right for you to enter into the market.
maybe if people wait until high prices will cause them to be disappointed. maybe now it is an opportunity to invest in large amounts in order to get big profits when the market starts to improve. This is a time where whales are gathering bitcoins and altcoins. Those who are serious in bitcoins investment, this is the best time to invest and save it for medium or long term. This is the great time where every altcoin is at very low price. There is very less chances that bitcoin and altcoins will go below the current price, so the risk involve in investment is also very less.

I'm interest in trading but I have no clear idea how to do it in a profitable way. I saw that in some threads technical analysis is very important when trading but the way of doing it was not mentioned. So please can you tell me how to do it? Are there any resources which can be used to learn it?
If there something else which I have to know before trading please let me know.
Thank you
Hi! There a lot of services video courses like coursera, for example. You can try to find in Google what is better exactly for as well. Wish you luck! There are too many videos and knowledge of Technical analysis on internet that it is very easy for anyone to study them and become expert of it. But one thing which i have observed that the information is too much scattered and it is difficult to find all the information at one place. There should be someone who gather all the important information and make one comprehensive course of T.A.

Hello Bitcoin Forum.
Can anyone suggest a good alternative to Coinbase? I personally don't have much respect for the company with their recent actions and many failed wire-transfers in the past.
The reasons I use Coinbase are...
1. Instant bank USD -> Coinbase USD wallet and I can make a BTC purchase right away (unfortunately paying their high fee). 2. I can use limit orders to purchase/sell BTC without a fee 3. Trying to get my folks into crypto, so I like their simple interface to buy/sell crypto for those not using Coinbase Pro.
Are there any other exchanges that I can use that have these features?
TY!
I am using Coinbase and i think it is the best one. But still you do not have control over private keys so in case of hack or scam attempt, all our funds will be lost. Coinbase often freezes withdrawals for a few days. it's unacceptable, I think. to manage funds faster and safer we should use trusted exchange services, to exchange coins in a few minutes instead of a few days. so, your question is about alternative, my recommendation is - Changenow. I read its reviews on trustpilot and find it reliable.
I think it is normal for any exchange to freeze the withdrawal for any purpose which can be security purpose too. Whenever there is any big transactions which is not normal, the exchange should freeze the withdrawal for sometime and see it there is any hack attempt.

Greediness. When someone are losing more in gambling, he keep motivating himself that he can get it back. Because he wants to get it back, he continue gambling until he gets back his money.
It doesn't trigger the addiction,it comes from the environment of a person mostly which gets trigger them to just gamble too often to get away from something. actually you have a point on that. if he has other things to do more important than being hooked into gambling, then he wont be addicted, right? greediness is just part of it but it is not really the root of why you are getting addicted to something. this topic has been discussed several times already and i would say gambling addiction is related to psychological disorders that a person is suffering from. not so nice to hear about but many studies have shown that the vulnerability of a certain individual to addiction is due to his state of mind at that moment As long as people think gambling as a easy way to make money they are going to be suffering from this issues. So if you heard about someone who got addicted to gambling then try to get him into a rehab centre that is what we can do most. Gambling is not an easy way to make money and if anyone thinks like this, then surely he is wrong. Win is difficult to achieve again and again in gambling and the losing percentage is more. But since no skill is involved in gambling, many people keep on trying to win and this make them addiction to gambling.

Another bad performance on Day 1 from Bangladesh.They all OUT for just 234 and NZ is on 84 without losing single wicket.The only positive thing from day 1 is Tamim Iqbal got an hundred on overseas after 9 year's.Bangladesh need some quick wickets on day2 to comeback.
I do not see any depth in the bowling of Bangladesh which can trouble NewZealand. If NewZealand does not lose patience, they should make 400+ score in their first innings and try to win this match by an innings+ score. NewZealand Just outplayed Bangaldesh and make it look easy.

The major disadvantage of gambling is loses. The odd is always against the gambler and it is very difficult to win in gambling. You should expect to lose most of your investments if you have decided to go into gambling.
Loss is just a part of gambling and it should not be considered as a disadvantage. We cannot have a gambling game which only gives us win. If this happen, all the people of the world will keep on playing gambling and earning money, which is not realistic.

The issues that affect the market are many and most time it is very difficult to summarize all the information coming into the market and make an informed investments decision. I do used technical indicators to analyze the market before investing and we have many traders and investors that holds the views that we must used technical and fundamentals indicators in analyzing the market in other to be able to make an informed investments decision. I believe that candlestick formations and patterns contains information about both technical and fundamentals issues that came into the market. Should I continue using candlesticks formation in interpreting the market or something might happen happen that might suspend candlesticks formation information.
A trader needs to become stronger in both fundamentally and technically because it will be the complete way to be a good trader if you had has the same equally if we gives you the better idea for getting good profit. If you comes from the Forex field, then you are already good at Technical analysis which is an added advantage for you. If you are new, then you have to learn it first in order to better understand and do good trade.

Fundamental Analysis is also important in crypto trading as bitcoin depends too much on fundamental analysis and the current news about the coins in the market.

Since 2017 after bitcoin got its all time highest, the market has kept it down and there has been no real sign of going up again, but when will it get back to its all time highest?
I don't think anyone have the answer to this question, even experts that has predicted in time past mis-predicted, so no one can actually tell when bitcoin will get back to $20k, it could even take up to 2 - 4 years how cares. We should learn to focus on how we can maximize the technology instead of just putting all our focus on when bitcoin is going to moon and when lambo. Bitcoin will reach 20,000$ again in next year 2020. I do not think we need to wait for another 4 years for this. What i see is that slowly the institutional investors are coming in the crypto field and the next bull run will be a natural one based on the actual high demand of bitcoins.

the moment of truth is here, btc fell into the support zone.
It has fall into a support area but it is currently recovery. I strongly believe that this time around bitcoin is about to come out of the oversold area and the volume indicators are showing sign of bullish momentum now. I think we are better now than when bitcoin was completely down in December last year. I think we will move between the area of 4000$ to 6000$ for almost 6 months and will break out in the last quarter of this year. There is not much buying momentum which can take us straight up. It will be more of a slow movements for the next few months. You can call it a consolidation phase.

Those factors that always interrupt when bitcoin gradually getting value will not disappear pal to be honest because that's how the market play nowadays and since bitcoin surge to the top .wherein there is always a blocks that trying to stop the growth rate time on time without knowing. That's why some true investor and holders here understand the situation of bitcoin and always didn't panic because of being always ready to protect their portfolio.
Yeah this kind of speculation makes prices fail and stops to rise. because it makes a lot of people afraid and hesitant to buy, but in my opinion as time goes by, speculation and the wall will definitely be destroyed, I hope the current price can exceed more than $4k I think we should be positive about bitcoins and those who say negative things about bitcoins should be ignored. We have seen bitcoin crossing 4000$ now and with passage of time it will grow further.

i think bitcoin price depends on the presence of buyers and sellers or it can be said that depending on demand and supply available, when the supply of bitcoin is very limited and it is increasingly difficult to get bitcoin the price will be very expensive and certainly many people will be looking for bitcoin. More than the demand, it depends upon the news. If there is positivity in the market and overall good news are coming about crypto, it will surely make bitcoin volume and price rise.

I think if bitcoin should be able to cross $6000 again it will get ignited. The momentum will be high then and we would see bitcoin moving as it was last two years. The market is going to recover no doubt but until bitcoin get to certain level we should not expect too much bull run.
Well bitcoin cannot cross 6000$ all at once. It will have to cross few milestones and resistance before. Last night Bitcoin crossed 4000$ and now it will test 4300$ resistance level. The important think now is that bitcoin remains above 4000$ and do not fall below it.

With good anticipation and if you really watching the type of games you bet with, you can take the advantage of your good knowledge regarding to any sports gambling that you are engaged, odds affects you since challenge is there with what you think will perform well against the tempting odds that you are seeing around.
Yes, that is the reason that I mostly prefer to play gambling on cricket matches. I have good knowledge about most of the cricket teams and about the players, therefore I mostly give preference to sports gambling and specially to cricket matches. I really feel confidence while playing gambling on cricket, Big bash, IPL and PSL are my favorite league to play gambling on. Sports betting is also my favorite betting as it gives me maximum profit. If we have good knowledge of the teams which can easily bet on the right team and in most cases will win the bets.

There are a few people using the word "impossible". Thats wrong, if it was impossible lotteries wouldnt exist. This is the correct meaning of impossible "not able to occur, exist, or be done."
Imagine telling the winners of the lottery as they are about to pick their numbers not to do it because it is impossible......
I would rather buy 2 lines (the minimum) for €6 per week in the lottery than buy 1.5 pints of beer to pee it into the toilet for that 1 in 139,868,130 chance.
A life changer if you hit the winning combo, there's always possibilities especially for a lucky person's pick , we do all understand that playing this type of gambling is holding against 1 in a million/billion hopes, logically correct that if you won't buy one it's impossible for you to win, but if you do have one chance still there if you are the lucky one. It's all about how you believe with luck, and tight you will hold from it. There is always a probability that one may hit the combo to change his life forever. However the chances are very less , even close to zero, put still people try this as you never know you are so lucky one day so win such a big win. I haven't seen anyone wining such a big lottery near me but every now and then i hear news of someone wining such big wins which changed their fate.
