Sorry but I don't feel the same, this year is all about BTC and its dominance and I see it does not create a healthy market.
I miss the old market where altcoins has the power to pump not relying on bitcoin, right now, it has been the case, it has been all bitcoin and there is no progress since bitcoin is not yet bullish, that's for almost 2 years already.

That's not gonna work all the time or even most of the time.
For example, what is your best team in the NBA now? if we think its Clippers or Lakers, of course they keep winning but are they always covering the point spread, the answer is no, and if you keep betting on them ML, you will just get a small percentage of your bet since they are the heavy favorites most of the time as long as they keep winning.

sometimes, you will get a line of 1.30 ML, and therefore you need to win at least 4 wins to have at least 120% return of your bet which the chance is low IMO.

It's the 2nd time this problem occurs, but don't worry this will be refilled soon like they did last month I guess.
The campaign has many participants so its expected that the budget will be fully consume by the participants, but just like they always do, they refill.

next time if you have this kind of problem, better PM the manager too so he can get an update from the cryptotalk team.

There are gambling sites who are doing this, they are promoting their own token to increase its value once the sites gets popular, and this is a kind of gambling sites also that allows investment since their token will increase its value so if you hold you will gain, provided they have the success.

However, TBH, I am not fan of this kind of site as we know how unpredictable the market is, anything could happen and if such token is not listed in different big exchange, liquidity might be our problem in the long run.

I like you wisdom, that how we should think, think on the other side too because its really possible that the coin we will receive as bounty rewards will pump once the altcoins season is here. We can actually do this with ease if we will not only rely on bounty hunting as our source of income, if we were able to make a lot of money in bounty hunting before, we should consider looking for another source right now and wait until this market will settle again.

That's too expensive for people living in the 3rd world country, the NBA really wants to make money to their wide number of fans here.
For bettor maybe this is the answer they are looking, they can access any games, so they will be updated of what is happening inside the nBA.
Fo now, I am still using an IPTV, sometimes games are televised live sometimes its not, but that's alright since I can access a lot of online live streaming but not really as good as the quality when you are subscribed into their service legally.

We failed this year, we will have to think of the other year, probably next year if the halving would bring positive things in the market.
People will just invest again once the rally starts because there still a lot of people which will again FOMO when everything is pumping, especially the altcoins.

Last 2017, the most profitable were the altcoins, so at this very cheap price now of altcoins, it will result to major profit once a bull run happens.
Don't loss hope, keep the faith because crypto is here to stay, bull run will just just only come at the right timing.

If there is a hype, then probably we won't see ETH drop from now, it might have a great run by December since ETH 2.0 as per schedule will be launch early next year.  Hopefully there still some hype left because we have hype this year about that but only to found out that it wasn't release as per expectation.

We are talking about favorite here, so my answer would be Bitcoin.

Most of the sites I played with are accepting bitcoin and bitcoin is the most liquid so any time I can convert it with fiat.
Although sometimes I choose altcoins like TRX for my gambling needs since BTC's network sometimes are congested but once the network is okay, I'll still get back on using bitcoin.

Actually its nice that some gambling sites are having a lot of deposit alternative in their sites, it does not only promote btc but altcoins as well and that is good for the market, but we can't avoid people to choose mostly btc since the market is not yet stable.

LOL, GGG should be heated with that one, I mean no respect but I like to see both fighters fight again as what Canelo think was different from what the judges think. How about Canelo vs Mayweather rematch? people are just always talking about MAYPAC, how about this one?

If we can make a new high this year, I mean not an ATH but a new high for this year only, btc reaching $13,000 is already enough for me.
With that, I believe we will see a good rally before the end of the year, a small rally would be alright as its enough to at least boost the price of altcoins as well.

During the early months of this year, I was thinking we can make a new ATH this year but it looks like its not likely to happen but at least with a great recovery this is a great improvement for the market.

It's hard to analyze altcoins at this time, I think to make it more conservative, I would agree that it has a potential to hit $250 by the end of the year.
ETH will always react to BTC's bullish run but since it didn't happen yet, this means ETH will remain stagnant at the current price, hopefully there's one last run for BTC but I don't expect much for altcoins to follow easily.

This means more regulation that is in favor of us, any action of ban is should not anymore enter in their mind if they will fully understand bitcoin and crypto as a whole. At this early stage as we remain hopeful, we are also putting an investment for our future and let's hope crypto will eventually be mainstream in the long run, especially bitcoin.

Probably but Mayweather is a better fighter than Manny, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
I think he just want more money so this fight until now is still not happening, getting the biggest payout in his career is probably his target here.

maybe that time he will know who Jack Ma is, because he will become a billionaire then, in usd.

Bitcoin has to pump more and if it could make a new ATH, I am sure that time, altcoins will start to rally again.

Actually at this price, a lot of people are still not fully confident to invest because there are still a lot of traders who got caught buying the peak during the last bull run, so if bitcoin will be able to surpass its ATH, we will all be profitable and price might be overvalued again.

These players of the Clippers does always play with their full passion, I mean it looks like they don't have an off night.
We are already appreciating the Clippers now even without Paul George, they will be more scary when PG will come back, both guys have almost the same type of play who are contributor in every section (rebounds, steals, assist, and points).

It's based on each investors judgement, and its really tough to choose the right coin since there's a lot of them that is available in the market.
With that, we need to be careful in evaluating the coins as one mistake might make our investment loss forever.

you know, in crypto, its like gambling, you lose big time and you win big time, so you need to be smart (basic requirement) and lucky to get your goal.

Bitcoin has always been very surprising when it came from a big correction (dump) to rising and breaking a new ATH.
There's no problem with TA but I don't really much of the possibility by TA only, its just based on price movement but actually the big reason why we can see some big pump or big run is its good fundamentals which IMO bitcoin is long due for a big pump or recovery.

No one can fully guess where it should it should hold before it will begin to grow.
Remember that this year, we reach almost $13,000 but the growth did not pursue, instead a massive downtrend has happened and that brought us to where we are now. Maybe its best if we just relax and wait until the right time will come, in fact, if we are true believer, we are willing to hold, right?

I am actually expecting a repeat this year, I was so optimistic from the very start but I think its almost that we will not see a bull run this year.
Maybe in the next 1 to 2 years if there are big adoption that would result to some hype, we can't really tell when but we just have to believe sooner it will happen, that's being optimistic and actually that's my only strength why I was able to cash out a good profit last time and I still survive until now.
