Current resistance might be something near $9600 and support might lay down between $8500 to $8700. Price is already been traded on a bullish sign which makes most of the people bullish right now. Market showing good growth would also break the resistance and would straightly pump towards the next target which would be above $10,000 and it might than bring the start to the bullish markets after years.

Last time we experienced a bull run was in the mid 2017 and this year we could expect even greater bull runs than we previously experienced by studying the market phenomenon and this is what makes most of the investors invest in bitcoins to participate into the bull runs. Even OP might be holding some stable coins in order to participate into the bull runs but entry point should be appropriate in order to minimize your loss and maximize profits.

It doesn't matter if you require some sort of confirmation to withdraw, as long as people do double spending the withdrawing part is not important for them. To give an example if they deposit and play and win, they will let the double spending go to waste and pick the casino for the spending, which will result with them actually depositing and actually withdrawing like a regular gambler without it looking like a problem.

However, if they deposit with zero confirmation and play and lose they will just double spend on the other transaction and wouldn't have to worry about withdrawing. So if they win, let the deposit be, if they lose they won't, as simple as that. Withdrawing requiring confirmation of deposit is not an enough defense, it should be at least 1 confirmation to deposit and be credited.

Lottery tickets are not actually completely something which might be consider as gambling. A lot of house wives, school going youngsters, old aged ones, etc are the ones who continue buying lottery tickets with a desire to earn huge prices some day. But, there actually are thousands of people buying the same lottery ticket and hoping for their luck to show up.

But, only few selected ones afford to win the prices and rest are left with no profits but they lose the money they spent to buy those tickets. I always stay away from purchasing lottery tickets as what I think is that lottery is only meant for people who have strong luck within thousands of people.

Well, there actually are thousands of similar games which will gift you with some prices if you win the game. But these games are meant for entertainment purpose and not for financial gain purposes. I personally spend my free time in playing a number of such games but not for any price money. I play those to entertain myself with no intentions to gain profits.

In the previous gambling markets, I went across such similar games but I can't find any of those platforms in the market now which means they ended up as zero which itself indicates us that these kind of child games are not needed atleast in gambling. You can play those to free your mind.

I'm benumbed to hear that banks in Germany have started allowing cryptocurrency trades within the bank. This would be a great step by cryptocurrencies towards a bright future but how could this actually circulate? Prices keeps on changing due to their high volatile nature and this would make it difficult for the banks to buy or sell at those volatile prices as banks are not this updated to the technologies.

Banks needs to customize their internal affairs in order to get more advanced and start circulating cryptocurrencies into their monetary system. I guess, some of the banks which are not centralized may have started this movement as the governments would never allow the centralized banks to perform such tasks unless until the country legalizes cryptocurrencies.

Here are these countries doing their best to make the world accept cryptocurrency, while others are out there discouraging people from making use of crypto. I hope that other later change their mind and allow the use of cryptocurrency.

Although I do know that even if they do decide to go into cryptocurrency they will create their own cryptocurrency and that means they wouldn’t promote Bitcoin. But I seriously hope that they do make bitcoin legal everywhere in the world, even if they create their own cryptocurrencies, so that people can be able to make use of Bitcoin if they want to.

This is actually a common tendency of each of the altcoins. Even we did not hear any news from the Etherum platform since a long time which made the investors have least faith in etherum but in the corner of our hearts, we all know that etherum is a potential coin.

The same situation goes on with waves. Waves is a potential platform and also I do think that the developers behind waves might surely perform some development which would again make the platform cherish and would give major benefits to the investors. This might not be an immediate development process and for sure it would take a lot of time so it is better to hold waves until we see any such great news about the platform rumoring in the markets.

I would personally suggest you to create an account on any of the reputed exchange which you could even use as an wallet. You can store any of the coin on a single platform and also it would give you the ease to quickly trade with those coins if you see any good dip or pump.

It makes me reliable and I can also trade with my altcoins along with just holding them so I would store most of my altcoins onto exchanges like binance, etc. These exchanges too are secure and once you add 2FA, SMS verification, Email confirmation, Additional passwords, etc those might be more secure than the wallets. Only risk for you there would be in case the exchange is hacked and each user looses their funds over there but it is much rare scenario.

Why I think OP did not mention the decentralized ways to buy is because he mentioned in the subject itself about buying bitcoin with PayPal. PayPal is a fully centralized wallet linked to our bank accounts directly so any purchase made from PayPal might reflect the transactions in our bank statements which might create an problem for taxation and audit of our bank accounts.

Most of the countries have not yet authorized bitcoins and transacting with bitcoins is yet treated as illegal in few countries so why should we take a risk by buying bitcoins with PayPal(bank accounts indirectly). Most of the time, I have tried to avoid doing trades with centralized authorities like PayPal.

RVN seems a good investment so far. I can also see that it is ranked 41 in the coinmarketcap which might be a good sign of investment. Accumulating at 300 satoshi would be good for RVN as it might show some immense growth in the coming markets. We already have experienced huge pump in terms of RVN and the same could be expected soon. These kind of altcoins with lower value but higher volume might be something good to invest.

Volume for RVN is not that extreme but it is not that low as well. 24 hours volume of RVN is about 740 BTC which might not allow any whale to manipulate the price and hence it might serve as a stable source of income if we perform short term day trading with those market pairs.

None of the traders might be shocked reading this news from the respective countries. The countries mentioned above have very little number of traders who do trade in mass volume so also I think that they might not be holding excess funds onto localbitcoins. localbitcoins is one of the reputed exchange since times and we have faith in it.

Also if it had any intentions to scam the users than why would they give time to the traders to withdraw their funds from the platform? They might be facing some verification issues for those above mentioned countries as localbitcoins have made KYC verification mandatory which needs to be verified by the authorities.

We were actually in the bearish markets until now and OP has bought coins in the bear market so hopefully they would give immense profits for OP. But if OP wants to sell some of his coins than it would be better for him to start trading with them and earn the amount he would need to fulfill his requirements. It would not be that difficult to earn profits from 1.2 BTC until feb 21st.

Bitcoin is having a volatile price and that keeps the price changing each hour which can be utilized for short term trading. Quick buy and sell would even give good profits from the initial capital. OP should think about trading with his coins because if I would have been on his place than I would have gone for trading.

Bitcoins were originated as an anonymous currency and we are not even aware about the main developer of bitcoins. Bitcoins have shown us immense growth from the date they were launched which has opened doors to profits for a lot of unemployed community. This serves them as a passive source of income.

Bitcoins might be having some disadvantages which might include their use in illegal firms, etc which would need to be changed in order to start accepting bitcoins on a larger scale globally, but excluding this I do not really need any more changes in the bitcoin networks. Bitcoins can be made more advanced with the newly emerging technologies but it might ruin the original caliber of bitcoins.

Mixing services are really causing a pain in the neck. A lot of mixers are been introduced which might be giving a boost to all those hackers to convert their hacked funds into unknown funds which would than make it easy to get whitelisted.

Mixing services tend to keep the cryptocurrency transactions more secure and anonymous. Even it might be possible to track the transactions underwent through the mixers but if by any chance the hacker uses multiple mixers to mix the same coins than it would never be possible for us to track the transaction. In this case, we have no options left. The mixers too can't shut down just for this reason as there also are some legitimate use of such mixers.

The one that I was most surprised about was Link, I really didn't expected it to see it there. BAT is around 31th in the rankings right now but I can understand why people hold it, yet Link is 17th and it has been out for a while, if people wanted to get rid of it, they would have done that already, so I think they might actually think of it like something that may go further in the future.

I didn't looked at it the way people do so far, maybe I should try to get some Link myself as well. Its nice to know my portfolio looks a lot like others as well, if I had to make top 10 of my own portfolio I would probably only change BAT and Link, I don't do tether or bsv as well but not many other people neither as far as I can see from here, I have like 6 of the coins in asset popularity, just no BAT, no Link, no BCH and no TRX but I will probably get TRX this year as well.

This is not the first case. A lot of people have already been experienced such problems where paypal asks for the charge-back. The worst case once was about the charge-back which took place after more than 6 months so you would never know if you have made a correct deal with the appropriate person in terms of paypal. PayPal transactions should immediately be stopped for buying bitcoins as bitcoins are not even legal so we cannot even file a case in order to reject the charge-back.

We have to forcefully pay the charge-back or the bank might take some legal action against us. How much was the amount? This would never allow you to trade bitcoins with paypal again so treat it as a lesson.

There would be a huge list of such projects if we start numbering those. There already have been a lot of scam projects busted by some of the reputable members of the forum and also you could find list of their individual busted projects which would perhaps save your time to hunt those yourself.

ICO and IEO industries have given birth to a lot of scam projects and some of those were also successful to collect funds from the investors and vanish forever. This has made a lot of investors stand on a verge of loss but the markets might change in the coming times with more advanced features which would never allow anyone to develop a scam project anymore. I even feel some potential projects might be scam as we would never be aware about the actual team behind those.

Etherum is trying to stand up in the race again by launching its 2.0 version. Also I heard some rumors about etherum that it would enter the mainnet and would allow staking on the platform. This might create a dense demand for etherum back and it might also allow most of the investors to start trusting etherum again.

Etheurm is yet on the second rank among the crypto coins and hence the developers might surely try to make it more valuable before the bull runs arrive this time. Reaching $1400 might be a challenge for etherum but more developments like 2.0 version and staking etherum can make it possible. Huge demand needs to be created for etherum which would drive the price in the ascending graph to meet $1400 soon.

Reserve bank only stated that the regulated entities cannot offer crypto assets but it no where mentioned about the ban on cryptocurrencies. Also I think, Central Bank and Reserve Bank are two different banks so how could you co-relate them here?

India is the country which is undergoing the legalization process of cryptocurrencies and from several months, we can see the hearings in the Supreme court of India about the circulation of the cryptocurrencies. I do no think that India has arrested anyone until now for using cryptocurrencies or transacting with them. Good news about the legalization of cryptocurrencies should be spread globally so that most of the countries can start supporting the act.

It would actually be a lot strenuous for bitcoins to surpass the traditional methods of payments.
Traditional methods of payments are been made to ease the transactions in between people of the same country.

There have been a lot of methods implied for oversea transactions so people do not really assume to use bitcoins as a payment method because they are already meant as an currency for investment and to multiply our profits with. Traditional ways are been easily available for a lot of people who are not tech driven and I think this would never allow bitcoins to overtake that position. Bitcoins are doing great but they are not assumed to get legalized soon which would never allow them to surpass the traditional means of payment.
