Trading not have know with your gender male or female, every one serious with bitcoin and altcoin investing will get much profit although women, but women looks not serious when trading and focus their mind on other like fashion and style. But if women looking serious want to get much money with trading I think they can be competitor for men at the next time.
"Women just focuses on fashion and style" - LOL! Dude, like really? You kinda sound like you are generalizing every female out there with your stereotypical thoughts. Not every women out there are obsessed with fashion and lifestyle. There are tons of hard working women out there that are trying to change the world. Even this whole post sounds kinda sexist.  I wouldn't call them "slow learner" just because they aren't interested.

Hello, I'm new in cloud mining, can you please suggest me best cloud mining website
I want invest $500 for this, also I find IQ mining what is your opinion about this website?!
As far as I know, most (like around 99%) of the cloud mining sites are just pure scam. You will invest, they will return you some profit, you start trusting them, you increase your investment, they still give you more profit, you gain more confidence on them and make a huge investment and then *poof* they are gone! You lose all your money. Most of them are just simple ponzie scheme like others mentioned. Those which are legit, will barely give you any profit.
Better off investing on some coin and holding it.

I was so busy for our upcoming competition for Robotics at school that's why I wasn't able to come up with a crazy idea yesterday, and actually even now I wasn't so sure about a thing so here's a little bit easy for all of you.

What if you have a kid on the house and you're currently making bets online and you accidentally have a phone call or what so ever thing you might do on that time and suddenly the kid mistook it for some fancy game and make bets on his/her own, would you be upset and get angry to the kid? Or would you rather trust a child's play on this scenario?


Due to our late discussion, thread will be open until Saturday.

Let me be honest here, most people will be very "proud" and happy if their kid some how being extremely lucky manages to win the bets placed. They would even start thinking that their kid is a lucky charm and might even allow the kid to make some clicks in the future. But, if the kid loses the bets, they will be very disappointed and might even yell at the kid.
I wouldn't yell at my kid but will make my kid understand that he should not touch my things without my permission. I don't want my kids to be scared of me.

Right time? Maybe. Maybe not. No one knows when is the "right" time. So it is best to invest when you think you can afford. Go for coins that are well known. Those coins like ETH, LTC, BCH has a very low chance of dying. So you will be risking less and very highly likely to be making a profit in the long run. Avoid shit coins that gets pumped and dumped at all cost.
And don't randomly invest on coins suggested by users on the forum or the internet.

Was there a worse feeling than when you missed your paycheck?
This topic is for everyone nervous and angry because they lost their money.
Losing money is not easy to endure Was there a worse feeling than when you missed your paycheck?
I just feel that way, angry, but I'm strong enough not to make desperate decisions and continue to ruin.
Is the best cure time?  Wait a while to get things back in place.

For all of us who have lost, HOLD!  Cry

Not really sure what you mean. If my company starts to miss my paychecks I would just bail as soon as possible. Missing paycheck and losing money is not the same. I guess to are comparing this with losing all your deposit in gambling.
If you "feel" like gambling is harming you, then stop gambling. Tell your family and friends about your problem and let them help you! Time will help you cure, but its of no use if you go back to gambling again.
3866  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trade Bitcoin - AVOID "Get Rich Quick" Shit Coin Pump and Dump on: November 26, 2019, 08:01:42 PM
Those shit coins are actually very risky to invest on, but I have seen people making profit from it. Those who get in first and also dumps first before anyone else are the ones that makes the maximum profit (usually the developers). Though the risk is never worth taking. You need to be extremely luck to make profit off them. But, don't even think of investing on those coins. All you will be doing is encouraging them and others to create more such pump and dump coins.
3867  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long do you hold on a trade. on: November 26, 2019, 07:47:57 PM
trading has been a difficult process for novices and minor traders. it could be tempting most times if you dont understand the market movement and TA. you might loose patience and cancel out a trade you might regret later. i have cancel out many trades that later ended up in huge profits. i have also cancel some successfully. i just curious to know if there is any sure way to this trading were by you hold on a trade.
What do you mean by "hold" on a trade? Trading depends on lot of factors. Most traders trade for making quick profit within a short time. They they the advantage of the volatility to make some good profit. They sell as soon as they see they some margin of profit available.
If you are talking about holding onto your investment, then it also varies from person to person. Some people might have short profit goal thus sells as soon as they reach their goal. Again, there are people with long term goal to make some slow but less risky profit!
3868  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Long term hodl ! What a joke on: November 26, 2019, 07:19:13 PM
Why do you refuse to face the reality of the present state of the crypto market? I always laugh when I see people still talking about long term hodl when the reality is staring us in the face. Don't be a fool, only the smart are leading the race in the crypto sphere of today. Why do you decide to hodl when you know that the price may dump? Why not sell at the peak and then you can buy back at the bottom. The race is not to the fool but to the wise. Selling at the peak and buying back at bottom is wisdom but holding at the peak expecting a magic spike is foolishness. Bull run is not here yet, do not expect a magic spike. When the bull run is here, you don't need a prophet to tell you that. Be smart.
Shows how dumb you are. Sell at the peak? Do you really know what the "peak" price might be? What if you sold thinking that the price has "peaked" but then you see that the price is still increasing. You have lost your opportunity to make some good profit. What if the price no longer dumps or goes lower that your assumed "peak" price? You will never get the chance to buy back at lower price.
Holding for long term is a joke? Compare the last 6/7 years price (this is long term) and then see it for yourself.
3869  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is Trading competition good way to earn money? on: November 23, 2019, 03:32:51 PM
Never heard of such competitions being held by an exchange? How is the contest made? You mean user that trades the highest volume wins or something like that? Well, then no it is not a good way to earn "coins". This will actually make you lose even more than you can make. Imagine having to pay those exchange fee when trading and then those small loss you will me facing when exchanging coins. Even if you be on the top of the contest, your overall net profit along with the prize money might end up being negative.
3870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble with a controlled mindset on: November 23, 2019, 03:13:06 PM
Ever had of a story of people who committed suicide or attempted it because they lost funds which is huge to them. Most of the stories are made up but also some a true and real.
I would never tell anyone to stop gambling come to think of it I gamble also myself but I will Ask we should be guided while doing so to avoid unseen calamity.

How can you control your mindset while gambling, this is really not easy I must say you are drawn to playing it over and over again it doesn't matter if you are winning or losing

Set your target~ before a days gambling you should have in mind what you want to win or what you can afford to lose its easier send than done I know but with constant practice you might just develop the mindset.

Get engaged in other things~ other than this helping out it can also fetch you funds that can be used for gambling or any other uses.

Have time to enjoy your winnings~ I don't know if its also happens to anyone, when you you gamble
And you immediately win a sum that was above your expectations if this happens you can try enjoying your winnings and then latter come back

Your mindset can be controlled is only if you put in effort into it.
Points you have mentioned is easy to say than done. Set your target? What if you changed your target when gambling. I mean when people gamble and starts to lose a lot, they tend to kinda forget about everything and they become more focused on recovering their loss thus forgetting about their "fixed" goal.
Same goes for "enjoying your winnings". Once they have made some good amount of profit, they end up "enjoying" so much that they start gambling even more and ends up losing everything.
3871  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did China really crash Bitcoin again? on: November 23, 2019, 03:00:32 PM
Really funny how people starts to blame other countries with no specific facts that can back up their claim. Why do you really think China has caused that crash? Any recent event that caused people to panic and sell? If it is really because of China, then this crash is just temporary. It will recover in few days after things starts to settle.
We have seen these ups and downs of the price from the very beginning. This is nothing new over here. So spreading false news about "China" banning exchange and other bullshit news should be stopped.

Infrastructural deficiency

Another user highlighted the problems encountered with bank’s ATMs:

https://twitter.com/SirLordStacks/status/1187470363208208384

These are the kind of problems that you will not have when making transactions using BItcoin and cryptocurrencies. For many people, especially those who are already familiar with using Bitcoin or other kinds of cryptocurrencies, such limitations can be really frustrating.
Just pointing out your key points. It is true that banking system does have its own problem, but we can't deny its importance right now. Similarly bitcoin and other crypto currencies also have their own drawbacks. What if you have some sort of connection problem when you need your coins the most? You won't be able to access your coins if you are having such problems. What if your device were you stored your coins and private keys are out from your reach temporarily?
Bitcoin does not have a "good lending" system as of now. This is a decentralized currency, thus making a lending platform means you will need a centralized platform.
You might also face problems when making transaction. What if you were supposed to make a transaction of 10 BTC, but you make a mistake and add an extra zero? Remember your transactions are irreversible!
3873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social experiments in the world of gambling on: November 23, 2019, 01:43:27 PM
If someone bet and he suffers a big loss and then goes here to ask a little help from you, are you willing to give him help?
Have you ever experienced something like that, how do you deal with this loss?
I have never experience such thing (did lose small amounts but didn't care much). But I have seen people in  online casino losing a shit load of coins. I have never seen that begging on the chat box after losing his coins on a big bet. Instead I have seen some of them laugh it off and in fact they come back later and gambles as usual.
If someone who lost a lot of coins in gambling and asks for a little help (coins to gamble), I don't think I will give him any.
3874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling with Fiat or Crypto? on: November 23, 2019, 01:38:37 PM
Since you said that it was online, for me gambling using crypto is better than fiat. When you are gambling online using fiat, you need to do many things before you deposit your fiat money to your site and the anonymity of it is very low unlike gambling in crypto where nobody knows who are you (unless you submitted KYC to the site itself). For me, gambling with fiat is for the casinos only and gambling with crypto is for the online gambling websites Cheesy.
Most of the online crypto gambling sites now ask for ID submission and they will have to go through the KYC process. This is because the casinos have to abide by the anti money laundering laws. There are sites that don't ask for KYC (yet). Crypto-games.net is one of them. You should give it a try.
I would still prefer gambling with crypto currencies even on a physical live casino. Every thing is more easier that way.
3875  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin: Long term prediction. on: November 23, 2019, 01:25:25 PM
Those predictions were done all based on mathematics. The guy probably got extremely lucky when predicting it. Just remember, those are predictions are never very accurate. The market price does not just depend on the previous values. There are also various unpredictable external factors that causes changes in the price of the crypto currencies and affects that largely. Halving of the reward is just one of them (looks like this factor was included in the prediction). Don't forget about manipulations, hacks and good/bad events that might take place.
3876  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you use cryptocurrencies in your daily life? Are they useful? on: November 23, 2019, 12:57:06 PM
To be honest, I really want to use cryptocurrency in my daily life, but since the country where I live does not allow
cryptocurrency as a means of payment. So from this moment I only use it as a digital asset. If one day I  need money,
the cryptocurrency that I have, i will convert to fiat. So even though the cryptocurrency that I have can not used directly
in my daily life, still useful in my opinion. Because it can make money by becoming digital asset.
Your country doesn't allow using crypto currencies as a form of payment inside your own country. This does not mean that you won't be able to use it to buy anything online. You can always make purchases indirect using crypto currencies. Like for example, you can buy gift cards using crypto currencies and then use those gift cards to make your purchases. This way you won't fall into any kind of legal problems. Bitrefill is one of the most trusted site for buying gift cards. Those have a whole lot of collections of different gift cards!
3877  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 6 safety concerns? on: November 23, 2019, 12:25:43 PM
There aren't a specific list of concerns I have when it comes to crypto currencies. But right now, when I choose a platform to exchange, I am always concerned about their security, their reputation and their support. All these three have a major impact on a users trading experience. When I choose a platform to gamble, I am concerned if they are legit or not, how long they have been on the market and how easy it is to deposit and withdraw. Different activities related to crypto currencies have different concerns. None of them can be compared with the other.
3878  Economy / Economics / Re: Negative interest rates in Germany on: November 22, 2019, 09:58:58 PM
I don't understand countries that insist on negative interests. The reasoning could be whatever they want, sure they can give you a solid reason if you push them and it may sound amazing when they say it but the reality is they are basically forcing you to spend your money.

There is no reason for anyone to force you to spend your money so the government could get a bit load off their shoulders by citizens investing their money into everything and building the country instead of keeping it on their books. I believe that high interest equals high inflation and that is not something we could handle right now in the world since high inflation is a problem in many countries. But, you can find a sweet spot of 1-2% interest rates that would not only allow people to save money but also be risk free.
You probably have little knowledge on how the economy of a country works. Always saving money in the bank will help people earn interest but it won't help the overall development of the country. Again, negative interest rate is a monetary policy which affects the commercial banks. The commercial banks stores their reserves in central bank. Once the negative interest rate has been applied, the commercial banks will have to start paying the central bank money in order to hold their reserves. Thus it becomes expensive for them to do that and that is why the commercial banks instead of holding the money starts to give the money to the people as a loan with a very low interest amount. Thus people get more money to spend on their lets say business which will help in overall development of the country.
3879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have control or not? on: November 22, 2019, 09:42:11 PM
Can you consciously and willingly stop gambling at any time?
If you can do the above, you have great control and discipline, of course you are not an addict and you deserve to gamble as much as you want.
If not, clarify your ways of stopping gambling.
Gambling addiction does not just randomly kick in. If someone who has the will to stop gambling at any time, this does not mean that he won't become addicted in the future. I have seen and heard about people who had control over their drinking but then ended up becoming an alcoholic since "he drank as much as he want because he thought he could control his addiction". The same thing applies here. If a person can control his gambling activities, he still does not deserve to gamble as much as he wants.
3880  Economy / Speculation / Re: No need to PANIC! on: November 22, 2019, 09:17:23 PM
I’m a little surprised that people seem to be panicking about the recent Bitcoin price drop to $7000. I guess I’ve watched Bitcoin for so long (since 2012) that the volatility doesn’t phase me.

What we need to remember is that just a few months ago the price was a little over $3000 so it’s doing fine. That spike to $14,000 was way overpriced.

It doesn’t really matter to me if people panic because it gives me an opportunity to buy more Bitcoin at a cheap price.  And I still am very confident that the price will hit $20,000 sometime mid next year and probably quite a bit higher by the end of the year.
So someone newly invested on crypto currency when the price was around 9,000 USD and all of a sudden the price drops without any reasons and you want them not to panic? Lol, obviously they are going to panic. You probably don't have much invested on bitcoin for which you don't care much if the price goes down.
Anyone who have high investment, no matter for how long they have been in the market, when they see the price dropping, they will start to panic at least a bit. If they exit at the right time, they will also have some good chance of saving some loss and make more profit once the price has hit the bottom range.
