online dice and offline poker.
dice games are so much fun and easy to play online with bitcoin. fast and easy and from any place on any device you can play them. also you can do so many different strategies on them. plus you can always start from a very small amount of in your bets even with faucet payment.
and poker is only good for offline games, i have never seen a good site for them and all the online games lack the human interaction which is the main part of any poker game in my opinion.

if this is a common thing for you and you are losing this many times in sports betting, then i guess must be doing something wrong because in sports betting you are only successful and know what you are doing as long as your stats are better than other games. more wins than losses in short.

it depends on which topic you are talking about, they are mostly FUD topics and full of lies wanting to achieve some purpose, mostly filling their own orders they have places before.
but you do the same as you do with any other market price, it is based on analysis of the market.
you can read about so many resources in the sticky here and also if you search for them on the internet about how to speculate the price and be a trader.

this may have been true once. specially in the early days that bitcoin came out but these days with these new coins i have indeed lost my faith in altcoins to "invent" anything new and good. sometimes a new project comes out that seems to be good but after a while of checking i see it is the same pump and dump as always.


the fees are lower mostly because the block rewards are high and difficulty is not high enough to make mining that hard. also it is low because the price of altcoins are low.
also they are lower because if they were high nobody would have send anything.

there is no trick in gambling.
you are either playing a chance based game such as dice and have a strategy so that you can have a better game and a better chance of winning with your strategy or you are not and taking risks that can be avoided.
or you are playing a skill based gambling like poker in that case if  have lots of experience and have been playing that game for a while you can make a decent profit out of it but otherwise it is again taking risks that can be avoided.

i did some day trading with Monero for a while and this was a couple of months ago when the price was rising like crazy and i made a very good amount of profit from it. but since day trading needs lots of tools and a lot more time i have paused the operations for now! so i don't know which one of these coins is best for day trading today. but i have my eye on Ethereum to see if we can see another pump to the moon.

if i had 1 bitcoin and i was new to trading, i would hold on to that 1 bitcoin and start learning trading without money first. then i would invest 0.01BTC at least and start testing what i have learned and then increase it to 1 bitcoin little by little when i gained some confidence.
if you invest 1 bitcoin right now you will be burning it so fast.
but after a while you will know how to make it double in a short time.

bitcoin price was the last thing that i had in mind when i started using bitcoin. i was interested in the rest of the features such as decentralize, low fees and security. and then price was a thing that i also enjoyed on top of all that.

and also you should all remember that if and when bitcoin price becomes stable that means people can start treating bitcoin more as a currency and that means a lot more shops will start accepting bitcoin as soon as price stability happens.

check out the bitcoin exchanges that are offering bitcoin/fiat(USD) exchange https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/
and find out which one of them is more suited to your needs. they mostly offer the same options for bank transfer sometimes with different fees,...
i believe your best and easiest option would be coinbase as you already have an account there. but generally you can use any exchange for selling bitcoin for current price as long as that exchange is trusted and all the high volume exchanges nowadays are trusted to some extent.
my suggestions: coinbase, bitstamp, kraken, cex.io, bitfinex
but make sure to check out their ToS and fees.

yeah you will waste your life finding a "perfect strategy" because there is none. it is like wasting your life finding bigfoot
gambling is always going to be gambling, a risky game of luck or chance. and if you are lucky you will win and if you are unlucky you will lose, it is as simple as that.

the strategies purpose is to guide you through a strict rules so that you don't get crazy emotional and lose all your money. and also if the strategy is any good it can only increase your chance but never to a 100%

you either know programming and website design and then look for scripts or build one yourself and design the site. which i think you don't know any of these. so you hire someone to do it for you.

if you mean for regular user, then no. you can't just open up a casino and expect anyone play there! and certainly you can not expect making money this way.

it needs lots of experience, and a really cool idea/game.
you can download a dice script from internet, pay for hosting and start your site in matter of hours. but what is the point of that? no one will choose your site unless it is different in a good way.

bitcoin is on the rise again, and yeah the dips are always the best time to buy bitcoin but if you look at the time of fist post it was a round the time when dip happened and he should have bought then.

but again, you can't always wait for a dip, specially a big dip to buy bitcoin. the opportunities pass so fast by you that you will miss out if you adopt this strategy.

there is nothing called officially in my opinion.
you can call a coin dead for many reasons for example:

• when the developer gives up on his own project and nobody else is interested in picking up where he left off.
• when the price goes to 1 satoshi and there is no buy orders and nobody is buying from the asks either.
• you can even go as far as calling a coin dead when it is getting dumped real hard down to 1 satoshi
• technically a coin is dead if there is no one mining it and there is no full node of it available any more.

i started gambling with dice, and it was in a faucet that had a section for multiplying bitcoin, and in there i faced the biggest house edge i have ever seen (5%) but i liked the idea of gambling online with bitcoin. so ever since i have been playing different games, and gamble on many of them. but mostly i have been playing Dice and sometimes some sports betting.

i don't see you give a definition of anonymity, it has such a wide range of definition. from what i can read in your post you mainly consider them anonymous if they don't ask for ID but that is not all. a truly anonymous casino is the one that apart from not asking for any ID,... doesn't keep any logs such as loging your IP address.

i don't know any case that someone would want that but whenever there is talk of anonymity keeping logs is the main issue.

and also if you want more anonymity then they should offer TOR mirrors for extra anonymity. again i can't think of any reason why anyone would want this. and besides all the casinos that i have seen so far which were working with bitcoin never ask for any ID and Email is optional and good for increasing security.

altcoins are supposed to be used for newer technologies, trying out new ideas, improving the blockchain technology that bitcoin introduced to public, and many more things. and you can see many of these in many of the altcoins. but what happens in reality is that altcoins are used for trading only, there is no transaction apart from a trader sending to exchange or from exchange to their wallet to sell later.

and to be fair there are some potential here and there but they all have so many weak points.

what you are saying is highly speculative. and i have been hearing it for many years about USD value dropping and failing economy of US, and i am not saying it is never going to happen but i have never seen any valid argument and it has not yet happened.

and besides bitcoin price goes up and is better to go up with adoption not just because somewhere in the world economy is shit and more people want out with new investments. that just makes price more volatile.

why does everyone thinks if bitcoin fails, disaster or whatever, people are going to look for a substitute?!!
well they may look for an alternative but won't substitute it with the existing altcoins. they are all bad. and if bitcoin fails all of them are doomed.
there was actually a good, long topic about it around here talking about what will you do if bitcoin fails. and it is similar argument, most people dust themselves up and move on with their lives. back to fiat.

you are right on that. this news is one of the oldest ones around. and a while back i found out that the news about China banning bitcoin dates back to 2013, it may even be older than that but i could find this much

every rise and fall should be think of as a relative rise and fall.
this so called knock down was not significant when you compare it with the amount that of the rise.


there is lots of arguments to be had on this!!
China is not the only place using bitcoin, there are many other countries that are using bitcoin more than you imagine.

i have one more hope for SegWit's fate and that is litecoin SegWit. as you may know litecoin is similar to bitcoin in every aspect and they recently added support for SegWit.
according to http://litecoinblockhalf.com/segwit.php the start is in 28 days and i really hope the miners accept it and we can see SegWit in action.

that will surely clarify many things, so maybe we can finally make up our mind about SegWit and whether to support it or not. (by we i mostly mean miners )


well i don't follow these things much and don't really know R.V. but from this tweet is seems to be an idiot who doesn't know how manipulated market cap is.
let met explain for those who may not know it.
ethereum has a huge supply (and this supply is just a number in the code, unlike real commodities this can easily be created and since not all the 80+ million coins are available to public it is a fake supply)
now market cap is just supply * price
when there is two chains, there is two sets of that massive supply. even if price of ETC were $1 its market cap was 80+ million dollar

and not to mention the market he is talking about are pump and dumpers enjoying another altcoin among hundreds of others to pump and dump.

p.s. maybe he is heavily invested in ethereum and wants his payment
