It would actually be hard for someone who is very busy in real life most especially when it is job related and takes bunch of your time to end up being so keen about gambling most of the time or not being able to stay away from it most of the time, because for someone who is totally addicted, and still on a job there is absolutely no way such a job will not be affected. I am not a hardcore gambler though, but I do once in a while and by once in a while, it could be once in a year.

A whole lot of effect. In fact, it goes hand in hand. It typically helps every country in a way within that circle as it heralds the emergence of a global cultural system and this plays the part in which a lot of countries find ways they can achieve a symbiotic relationship so as to help each other in boosting her own economy and in a way typically affects the global system at large.

After globalization from late 90's, we are having improved relationship among different political countries. When countries are not friendly to each other for the sake of world peace, they are now in relationship at least for economic reasons.

Right, as long as you understand the value bitcoin creates and the potential for the future, you really would not worry much about any movement in its price in the short term and will help more in focusing on the long term. Just as you have said, so far, we have been going up and from the look of things, we are obviously going to keep having this since the market is still growing anyway and nothing is going to stop it, not even this present condition.

This is something we should not even be debating anymore as it is so glaring that humans cannot do things all by themselves without some devilish punks coming to parade themselves just to want to evade the space and do things in their own way which may likely tarnish the image of a lot of things which apparently is what we have been experiencing.

Scams, manipulations, name them! However, we sure do know that the only way we can at least start getting to have a growing and matured space is when regulation comes to play.

I call those kinds of people archaic and simply borrowing a life that is not theirs, lol. This is a digital age and we cannot actually expect someone who has been used to traditional all his life, been rich through that process to just wake up one morning in his old years too adapt easily to the new world.

It is obviously one of those things we will have to live with for now until they start understanding they are living borrowed years.

Usually during summer, the prices of altcoins are always bound to increase hugely and that I am sure will be the case as well for this period.

We cannot say yet how things may end up turning out for most of the coins or tokens in the market, but let's just hope we at least get to see some upward movement around then. Like you said, with respect to ICOs, I am really and eagerly waiting to see the outcome of some of them around this time which I believe would be really worth the wait.

It is really a dream and for those who are looking forward to it like the OP, I hope they get to wake up from their dream eventually and then, face reality.

This is a market where nothing is guaranteed though, but not like $400. We have gone past the stage where there would not be some very huge support along the line for bitcoin, as long as it is simply not by any means dead which we both know it is not and I do not see anything yet that would warrant some serious level of dump on the market.

Yes, learning it both will be a great advantage, but to me, the best thing to learn as a trader most of the time is technical analysis so as to help guide you on making decisions. Even sometimes, most especially in the cryptocurrency market, fundamental really will not work. However, for those who may be in the long term style of trading, it can help combining some little bit of technical analysis and most of fundamental analysis but really, technical analysis gives a lot more advantage to a trader than fundamental analysis.

They all started learning gradually and then got better with experience and you cannot expect them to just spoon feed you. The resources are everywhere and it is your choice to use them or not to. A lot of people do not want to learn and that is the main reason why they flop a lot when it comes to trading. It is always good to learn, master what you have learned by taking your time to practice so you can get better and then seeing how that builds your confidence over time.

I have been using bittrex for a very long time now and I have never regretted it for once. The only reason why I am even considering binance right now is because of fees and volume, but at the same time, I just simply have not discarded my loyalty yet for bittrex. The most important thing is to find what suits one in terms of trying to do analysis and so on anyway but in terms of safety and longtime reputation, I give it to bittrex, with binance being my other preferable choice.

I like that word; ambition to take the opportunity with today so as to regain what you have lost yesterday. However, it is funny that the same thing keeps repeating itself for most people until it becomes a routine they will hardly be able to get out from.

Like they always say, it is only a fool that will keep doing the same thing over and over again and then expecting different results, but most of them just lose it completely to understand that they will just keep meeting the same thing unless they are just fortunate enough to get very lucky.

I have always preferred casinos as this is where the major fun generally is and at least, I get to go once in a blue moon to unleash that spirit to the gambling world. Gambling online to me has been really boring and the only thing that makes sense to me is just sport betting since that gives you the chance to make your bets online, get paid into your wallet if you win and in this case I am referring totally to cryptocurrency gambling which we all know do have a lot of advantage over fiat online gambling.

Right, the entertainment part most of the time is actually more like a consolation for those who may be looking for a way to control themselves but if we really want to face the hard truth, it is hard to see gambling as an entertainment without the mindset of wanting to at least win but the ability to now control the impulse makes it count.

Nevertheless, it is obvious a lot of people find that hard to do, so it is best to stay away if you know you have no control than to even think of giving it a try. Knowing all the dangers of gambling well and even after those awareness testing it for fun is the big mistakes most gamblers do.

Not like it is possible, it is being done every day. This is a speculative market and the fact is that the whales do take advantage of it a lot and try as much as possible to gain huge position and make a lot of money with it.

It is nor a regulated market, so things like this should be expected but the investigation that is being done goes right, and we get to see some regulations in place to limit or eliminate things like this, then it would really be a great advantage for the space as we either get to see a real non manipulated uptrend or a downtrend.

It sure do have a lot of impact when it is not done over the counter and it is rather done on an exchange which was the reason the MtGox sell off was so easy to get the market running down pretty fast around last year that almost led to some fear in the market. The liquidity in these exchanges may not be enough to help with all these and selling a huge amount all at once will simply affect the value.

You need to understand that not all the coins in circulation are on exchange. However, like you have said there may be several other reasons which this that you mentioned may be a part of it.

That is the funny part in it all. We may see it as something that would not have been necessary to do or some possibility of the government robbing its citizens by not providing all that is needed or doing something tangible with the tax and then just some group of people looting all the funds, but as crazy as that still sounds, it is a law that one must abide, unless if the law is not that strict, but as far as I know in most countries, tax evasion is a serious offence.

Even bitcoin will become a main stream momentary system, governments may get their income stream in terms of licenses for running business and when a transaction will be done with fiats. Fiats will stay with us for centuries hence governments need not to worry about the rise of cryptocurrencies kind of virtual cash systems.

That would normally be an insane thing to do and a very risky one for that matter. It is everyone's choice to decide what they want to do with their money anyway, but with the way the market is; there is no point getting greedy as nothing is guaranteed and even though things are looking brighter by the day as we keep forging ahead, at least, it is always better to take calculated risks.

You are right as at least a few percentage of your savings should be enough at least to minimize the risk of any unforeseen stuffs and probably push it into other offline investments to diversify the risk.

I am able to understand your thoughts and situations. Shit happens and we just have to accept those shits as they come. I was actually a very big fan of buying the dips also for a while until I just could not any longer based on the fact that the feeling hurts so much and that made me to decide to just follow the trading path, learn so much about trend following and that worked pretty fine for me now but in any way, I am so happy to hold your hands.

It still works though for those who have the strong heart to overlook the hurting feelings. If we look into the past where how people managed their holding when bitcoin prices fell down from $1200 to $180 in span of 15 months then we also will get some mental preparedness.

Yeah, we are all hoping positively for the long term, but this does not mean that whatever would happen in the short term will still not happen. The dip this time around was like a happy price this time last year and I wonder why people are just so furious. bitcoin has been moving higher in the long term right from when this whole thing actually started but in the short term, a little bit of downward movement should be expected, but because most people who bought at the peak did so out of greed, they end up seeing the dip as the problem instead of an advantage to buy more. I guess there will be more other people are already buying might be helping the market to revert back.

What a better smiley to use. This is more like a question that definitely no one can give an answer to. The whole market is facing a downtrend situation with nothing guaranteed at all. Presently, ETH is trading below $500 and so the possibility of it going down lower is still there which means lower than $400 is even possible. Whether it will hit or not is what no one can tell since we obviously cannot predict the future unless to just accept whatever comes.

Eth would be hard to predict yet, but there is a slight chance and possibility that it could go lower than that from the look of things. The market is in a state of uncertainty and it would be too hard for anyone to start predicting what could happen and what not could happen. However, the best is to follow the trend and so far, ETH as well as almost every other market is in a downtrend, and until that changes, any value is possible for any market.
