Banks are so greedy that they are killing themselves. Bravo. They are helping Bitcoin so much, thank you.

I certainly hope you're right but I'm not holding my breath.

Banks have never lost a war. They bet on both sides and always win.
They have the money for this, and we can’t beat them easily. Banks knows how they can still earn despite of growing cryptomarket. But I like the idea of investing with cryptocurrency for long and just make a short run with the banks because banks can’t make us rich.
3982  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETH after "Constantinople" on: January 16, 2019, 01:59:07 PM
Going by multiple news channels, this "Constantinople"  fork/upgrade has been postponed to next week due to a security hole discovery. That is the reason for today's ETH selloff. Hope to see it go smooth next week.
Yep, that’s the reason why the price of ETH drops again. I think if we will not see a great improvement with this, the price will go below $100 again. This is more on speculation now and ETH should deliver a good one. Investors still trust this market for sure they are just having a good vacation in the market
3983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this sound realistic? on: January 16, 2019, 12:49:27 PM
but my neighbors and some of my family members treat gambling as oppose to what i do . they play because they want to win badly . i feel so bad about it but i dont confront them because i dont want to hurt their feelings  .
I guess the neighbors and relatives of yours got no jobs or a more decent means of earning money? I might be wrong but it's true that unemployment is one of the causes of gambling addiction.

Well, it's up to you if you will confront them or not but for me it's much better if you tell them what you noticed. Choose to tell the hurtful truth than tolerating their bad deeds. They need serious help and your simple advice already means a lot.
It is fun both ways, not only when you are winning but also when you are losing.
Are you having fun even when losing? I can't understand why.
Maybe because he’s ready for the risk, and he don’t want to gamble for money but for a more entertainment game. I have to agree that those who don’t have job are more prone on gambling, its also happening in my place where you can see people gambling in every streets. Confront them in a good way, and in a simple way so they can understand it well.
3984  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why do some people refuse to accept bitcoin? on: January 16, 2019, 11:11:19 AM
Bitcoin’s fluctuating prices
For any currency to be accepted as a trusted medium of exchange, its value needs to remain stable. Sadly, the value of Bitcoin isn’t even remotely stable.
Fiat money also fluctuates, I think this will depend on the people because cryptocurrency is really good if you fully understand its technology. Yes, its highly volatile but it doesn’t mean its not good, those who don’t want to use cryptocurrency now will have no more choice but to adopt in the future.
3985  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are your plans for this year on: January 16, 2019, 10:37:08 AM
Everyone keeps saying 2019 will be profitable for the crypto community... but in life I've had to learn things the hard way.. which makes me always want to look into things in 2 ways no matter the odds

What if 2019 is the beginning of another dump?? What would you do as a investor?? Wait till your portfolio goes to zero?? ... or sell whatever is left of it??
I have no specific plan for this year, but I know I’m willing to hold for more years so it doesn’t matter for me if its continue to dump this year, but of course I don’t want that things to happen maybe let the time work for this market. I’m just happy for a small profit that I have right now, and actually plan to save all until the end of the year, let’s see how much its worth.
3986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where we are now with Gambling on: January 16, 2019, 07:45:29 AM
Yup, most people I know in real life also mostly gamble online nowadays with the occasional trip to the local casino, but I don't see online gambling completely replacing physical, land-based casinos anytime soon. There's still some hassle in verifying yourself on some fiat digital casinos and some crypto-based casinos, and gambling IRL is special in its own way. That being said, there's still a lot of improvements that can be made with online casinos, and they're nice and convenient for when you don't want to go out just to gamble.
There is no need to replace the traditional gambling, it is still good and I think Casinos should really be in the right place so gambler can still find time to go on that place. Gambling continues to grow, and now through online gambling its a lot more easier to play. I expect for a more innovation in the future, for us to have a better option to play at our own convenient.
3987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Big day for ETH on: January 15, 2019, 11:48:48 PM
The fork will happen on January 16, 2019 - right?
So do you think this can be a great day for ETH or just a normal update?
The price right now is not making any big move, what do you think will happen tomorrow?
Of course it will be a big day for ETH because it able to make a new update that can help its own technology to survive in this market in the long run. The price is not the only basis of a good coin, it may moves normally right now but when bulls come expect a higher value with ETH. Don’t be too impatient for the price to pump, it will happen even if there is no update.
3988  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Mysterious instant drop? on: January 15, 2019, 11:06:25 PM
This is because there are investors who sell a lot of bitcoin, which causes the price of bitcoin to drop suddenly. there are two possibilities that can occur, he wants to play the price or he wants to stop investing.
For sure they are trying to manipulate the price, and this can be the main reason why it drops easily. BTC is a big coin, but behind this great technology there’s also a big people who keeps on moving the price. I still want to hold my bitcoin, even though a lot of manipulators are in the market now, because in time they will have no more choice but to pump the price and get profit.
3989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How gambling sites can cheat you on: January 15, 2019, 09:44:02 PM
How? Lol basically they have control over whatever's in their site. You balances, your account information, the games that you play, name it they have access to do anything they want as long as you're in their platform.
Yeah, they control everything so if we don’t take extra care, our money will be gone for sure. We should not play on any gambling site that is not trusted when it comes to security, always think about your security and don’t be too greedy. Gambling sites can take our money without any notification, so far I don’t hear any cheating situation from the trusted gambling sites.
3990  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Your advice is needed on: January 15, 2019, 02:32:38 PM
I want to dedicate my life to cryptocurrency from now till five years time and see what I can learn and make from it in all way ,is it a good path to follow? Is it wise to leave my crap job behind and be fully into cryptocurrency? Anyone on here that already did the same? How is the experience??
Someone did this, he leave his stable job and depend on cryptocurrency and now he’s suffering from a big problem financially. I’m not saying all the people who did this are suffering, there are few who succeed but its too risky. Better to keep working, and save some money before you quit your job and study cryptocurreny to trade better.
3991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Addiction Stories and Possible Solutions on: January 15, 2019, 01:17:58 PM
That means, that person is not going anywhere and only playing gambling. But we don't know if that person is addicted or not and perhaps, it's just coincidence because he saw the same person playing the game. And if that person is playing in every day, then maybe he can talk to him and make conversation about who is he, where he comes from and else. I think it's part of his job too, he can pretend to give nice services to his customer, and I think that person will accept that.
Maybe, but the moment you continue to gamble you can tagged as an addict gambler. Its unfortunate for that guy to fall on the trap which can damage his life in the future. A guy who can live in the casinos for almost 24hrs is really insane and addict, maybe all the casinos should make time limit for every gambler to stop this, but of course it will not happen.
3992  Economy / Economics / Re: Mastercard is investing in blockchain on: January 15, 2019, 12:06:54 PM
Mastercard keeps searching for ways to provide a better service...
Read more: https://www.xmlgold.eu/en/news/article/769/mastercard-blockchain/

I hope this become a great news and become catalyst for bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Its much better if master card issuing debit card with bitcoin deposit option and i am believe many people will use it
Its a good thing of course but hopefully its more on cryptocurrency technology and not a bank system anymore. Mastercard is a big company, and if more companies will adopt cryptocurrency this year expect the market to go up high. A lot of big companies are interested in blockchain technology, let’s see who’s next to speak about cryptos.
3993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is playing casino games online a good idea? on: January 15, 2019, 11:18:12 AM
If you are careful and play with consumer protection service inclusive, online is a good idea as it is very comfortable and 24/7 available.

However, register directly is very risky because the chance to get scammed is 1000 times higher in regard to online casinos!


This is the risk of playing online, so better to gamble only with the top sites who already earned a good ratings from the gambler. Its good to play online if you want to have fun everywhere you are, but be sure that you are dealing with the right person so your money will be safe from the scammer.
3994  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do You Think A Bull Run Is Really Coming on: January 15, 2019, 06:02:22 AM
Bullrun can happen if there are news or trends that trigger new users or new investors who buy large quantities of cryto / btc in the same period of time. Until now trend or good news can not  do those thing..
There is nothing wrong to believe and for sure I have nothing to lose if I continue to believe for the bull run this year. In time the market will move forward as we continue to invest. Good news can attract more investors but we don’t need to depend on it, we need a strong new development with bitcoin and other coins, I hope to see it this year.
3995  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Short now = make lots of money? on: January 14, 2019, 11:31:02 PM
The major take on this is that crypto trading is full of surprises and your plans go to shit in seconds

first always be ready to risk what you can lose!!

yes you can make good money also you can lose lots of money
Yeah, whether you trade short or long you are still vulnerable and in trading losing is normal. Of course its good for us to be ready for the possibility of losing because you took the risk of trading. Your trading skills is also important, you can make a lot of profit in short trade if you have it.
3996  Economy / Economics / Re: Will 2019 take us to Moon or Mars? on: January 14, 2019, 11:02:24 PM
From 2019 on, I frankly do not have such a big expectation. if we can only see the numbers we saw earlier, it's enough for me. In 2020, the big ups will follow.
Its good not to set up any big expectation since the market moves on its own will and timeline, but I still believe that 2019 will still be a good year for cryptocurrency and for those who choose to stay even if the market is not in a good condition. We will stay on Earth this year 2019, where you can live happy and full of hope that the future will bring good things to you.
Yeah, its good to stay on Earth where everything is possible. The price seems moving in a different way we want but later on it will start to grow again. We can’t reach the moon easily and no one knows what is the price on the moon, let’s just wait for that moment and hopefully 2019 will bring us so much joy and a good price.
3997  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When is the best time to buy Altcoin? on: January 14, 2019, 09:54:26 PM
It all depends on the situation in the market of crypto currencies. When everything is good in the market, prices are rising, it is better to buy tokens of promising projects during ICO.
Otherwise, buy coins only on the stock exchange. So you can evaluate how well the coin you are interested in is traded.
Yeah, if the market is not in a good position I think that’s the best time to buy more good altcoins. If we are in a bear market, its too risky to invest on a small coin so always choose the top coins and wait for the next pump. Investing on any ICO during bear is too risky, better to analyze na market well before making decision.
3998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I LOST OVER 10 BTC IN GAMBLING IN 2018 on: January 14, 2019, 03:00:27 PM
i want to know did you make profit in gambling or lost and i know 99% people lost their money in gambling Gambling is only for fun not a way to make money what you think Gamblers Wink Always Gamble what you afford to Lose Don't Give up LOL

With 10 bitcoins you could buy a house in my city, not a big one but a house... Is hard to end with profit in gambling and this is mainly for the fact about: 'We don't know when to stop', if we are in profit we are feeling lucky and that pushes us to bet more. So, to end with profit we have to play it really smart. No one say it would be easy but is possible.
Well, in my place its already worth of a house and lot, a brand new car and some money for you business. Its just sad that after winning 5Btc you still choose continue to make more profit but it didn’t well according to the plan, and now its hard to get back that money. I believe you hold a lot of bitcoin, but you should not waste it better to spend it right.
3999  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Ethereum prices disappoint you again? on: January 14, 2019, 12:26:25 PM
very disappointing. see ethereum prices at this time.
In fact, even though it will face hardfork, eth will not experience a significant increase.
this is proof that hardfork is not a good choice to determine when to buy or hold.
Its not done yet, so there’s still a chance for the price of eth to pump. This coin may disappoint us for now but for sure in the future, it will  be more expensive and that disappointment will become happiness. I will still choose to hold on this than to invest on any shitcoin, eth will recover soon.
4000  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My 2 cents on: January 14, 2019, 11:25:03 AM
I am sorry for your loss but it is your fault because you made some bad decisions. Crypto has never been stable and quitting your job for it wasn't a good idea. It is good that you have learned to forgive yourself but now you need to find a good daily job and forget about bitcoin gambling for a while at least.
This is the thinking of every addict gambler, because they thought gambling will make a good fortune for them. Its a big mistake to let go of your stable job and depend on gambling. I’m just happy to see you fighting and still alive, and its good that you share you bad experience in this forum and encourage every gambler not to take much risk and know how to control yourself.
