the only safe investment among cryptocurrencies, specially when you are thinking long term is bitcoin and nothing else.
other altcoins can be good too such as litecoin and monero and even ethereum but it is best if you treat them in short term not long. meaning buy in a dip and sell when they rise to add to your bitcoin holding.

ethereum can be profitable but it is full of problems and has some bugs too. there are some good news on the way and it may be pumped again, but i am waiting for a good opportunity to get in and seek profit. for now bitcoin price is rising up again and in case it rises suddenly and big, ethereum price may drop.

i have not tried many of them, maybe 1 or 2 tops because most of the times i check their rules for cashing out the bonus and also read some feedback from other people who tried it and then decide to invest or not.
and so far the requirements for being eligible to withdraw that bonus has never been good. it is actually in the favor of the casino not the players because they usually ask the players to make a huge number of bets or have a big wagered amount and we all know in long term and with high number of bets the chances of losing is higher.

this is yet another proof that China has never been as big as a player as most people around here think it is. we can't obviously deny the effect that Chinese have they are big traders but we can clearly see that with them out of the picture bitcoin price is still strong and even it is rising.

seems like your first prediction only lived up to half of that price. it is already 7 days and SHIFT has still not reached 10K let alone 20K. the highest it could ever reach was 6900 satoshi and is 3600 currently.

do you have any speculation about this coin?
because i am curious to know why you said 10K and mostly because of its high volume.

i seriously hope that SegWit activates on litecoin eventually.
and price is only one of the reasons i am hoping for it, obviously that is a big push for litecoin to go to the moon because of the new development being segwit. and the fact that i am holding lots of litecoin

but mostly i hope this happens because we can all see SegWit in real life action, and i do believe that the bitcoin miners will be more willing to adopt SegWit if it activates on litecoin and is successful (living up to the promises).

1) the most important one is being fair, this can be the provably fair system or in other games being a reputable and an honest casino.

2) the game they offer. not all casinos offer all the games, and i like only a couple of them not all the games.

3) design. it needs to be good, and good means a design that is interesting not boring but at the same time doesn't slow my device down because of the type of device or the internet speed.

4) feature. this can be the autobet system, referral program, API so that i can use a bot, speed of the rolls in dice games, and many more.

5) giveaways. it is always to get prizes from time to time. either as a faucet, a rainbot, or some promotions like jackpot or rolling the 5 billion roll in a dice site.

google trends is people using google search engine to search for keywords and in China people already know what "blockchain" is, so obviously when they know about something there is no need for searching about it.

and the same goes for other countries such as Ghana that OP mentioned in his second comment after about a year! in third world countries people are not familiar enough with bitcoin and blockchain technology and since recently there is lots of activity in those countries, obviously people use search engines such as google to find out more information about bitcoin and blockchain.

apart from the stories such as the famous pizza story that everyone knows, the most interesting thing bout bitcoin is bitcoin itself.
think about it this way, someone someday created something out of nothing and ever since that day millions of people have adopted it and are paying a thousand dollars for that thing. bitcoin is indeed a very powerful currency without boarders and limitations.

when you have a hypothetical situation in your mind, first you have to think about why would that situation even happen?!

is it because they want to make profit from bitcoin?
they can't bitcoin is too small for a "country" or "central banks" to even consider entering for profit. there are lots of there ways and markets for them to make 100 times more profit from.

is it to kill bitcoin?
they may be able to hit the price but there is no benefit for them to do so and bitcoin can not be killed so again there is no point in doing such a thing!

memes have always been there, the biggest one was Doge and ever since then, there were many more that i have seen here and there with so many different and stupid names. and none of them live to see the light of day for long.


i doubt that.
because mostly people who already know about bitcoin and altcoins after bitcoin will find out about these memcoins! and someone who is unaware of cryptocurrencies in general will never even hear their names unless it is something as big as Dogecoin and that still have a small chance.

and right now coins like pep are in the hype mode and are getting pumped , the chances for these coins to stay around for long are so slim!

p.s. i missed the train too since it is not listed on any valid exchange!

i think investing in newer dice sites is even better than investing in the old ones. simply because there are far less investors which makes any new investor a big whale because of the percentage share he gets. so with smaller amounts you can make a large profit.

although i totally agree about the risks of investing in a new casino because of it being unknown and without history and trust.

playing poker against the house or even other players or looking like players online will always have so many problems with fairness because there is no proof for the hands and there is absolutely no proof to know whether others know our hand or not.

playing against a powerful AI is the least of our worries in my opinion and that is one of the reasons why i never liked online poker games despite loving the game itself in real life.

besides, poker is a game of reading your opponent and playing him not so much playing the game itself. hence the word "pokerface"

maybe "Re-branding" is not the best word for it.
because it is mostly about the perception that people have of bitcoin not what bitcoin really is. we need to change that.
and it takes a long time, specially if something has wrongfully became common among people no matter how wrong or how big/small it is.

again which markets?
the altcoins you named (ETH, XMR, MAID) and lots of others are the top coins that are being traded daily. these big coins always have a much higher volume compared to others.

the rest of the altcoins, specially those that are smaller (e.g. less than 1BTC volume) have a nice ride while they are being pumped and then die, with their volume go down to zero.

also in all markets without exception when price is not changing, meaning a stable phase, volume drops because simply there are less trades being made.

i believe one of these less knows casinos were offering a service like that to its users (you didn't have to pay anything though). i think it had a Japanese looking name

it was like a one time cash back in case you lose. they had multiple options, if you lost once per week you could take all your money back and had some other options to get a percentage back,... in general things like that. but as i said the place is not so famous around here.

i will add more information if i can find it again!

increasing the bnkroll is based on how much you are betting and it is assuming you still have the same bet sizes not increase the bankroll and then increase the size of your bets too, that would be pointless.

also i didn't say increasing bankroll is going to guarantee your win. i didn't even say increase your bankroll. if you read the comment again you can see that i am saying the problem with losing in martingale is the bankroll which means if you have unlimited bankroll you can win other wise it is not guaranteed.

with a higher bankroll you will only increase the chances of winning.

if all you care about in a cryptocurrency is the speed of transaction and the "charges" or in other words paying lower fees then use Dogecoin or even Reddcoin (RDD) you can even send them with zero fees and get confirmation in a couple of seconds.

well bitcoin exchanges are like forex market, they just trade bitcoin versus different currencies and not have different currencies against each other.
also i believe there is at least one Forex market that accepts bitcoin too. in any case, anyone who wants to trade bitcoin, can easily do that through these available exchanges and little by little these services grow and add more options also become regulated.

yobit is such a funny business to watch
they are supposed to be an exchange service, and instead of being a good exchange with better features, a better API, a fast platform with better charts and information,... they turned into adding gambling games to earn money!
and the most funny part is that none of their games are provably fair!

open coinmarketcap or an exchange and look at some charts of coins that have been around for a year or so, that can help you understand what is going on with altcoins. try looking at more than 10 different coins.

altcoins aren't known to go up in long term. they start of hot, go up fast and big in a very short time (usually 1 to 3 days) and then get dumped just as fast. and from that point onward it is all drop.
obviously there are exceptions to this rule but this description matches majority of altcoins out there.
