^It is actually an amazing feeling when you find a new casino that you can trust and enjoy so much, I understand about people who got hooked so easily and so quickly. I mean after all we love to gamble anyway if we are here, most of us are here because we are gamblers anyway, but right now there is a limited amount of trusted places in crypto world, normally you do not trust crypto companies because they could "get hacked" or "ceo died with keys" and whatever which constantly happens and suddenly you do not have your money anymore at all.

However with chips it wasn't like that, we saw it like something out of respectable companies from day one, don't know what made them so trustworthy all of a sudden but me and as I can see from others on this topic all trusted it out of nowhere and the feeling of finding an entertaining and enjoyable new casino is like no other.

He was up as much as 600+ one point and he ended up with about 300 in loss as well, we could say 1000 lost to round it up (more like about 940 from what I saw last). That is around 15 million dollars lost in gambling. Now I know you are going to say he was rich and all, I know you are going to say he has a lot more of that and he could afford to lose and so forth which I am fine with, yes he may actually have a lot more money aside and this wasn't maybe 10% of his money, he could be a total whale with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of money aside richer than many people we consider rich.

However lets be real, 15+ million dollars lost on gambling would be something upsetting even for Jeff Bezos, who worths 200+ billion dollars, even he wouldn't be calm after losing 15+ mil on gambling, that is just way to big. So, no wonder on seeing him, deleting his account.

I do not think that just because there is a tool to be used by scammers, that tool would be the guilty one. If you are going to get scammed, you are going to get scammed one way or another, it is not going to matter if uniswap exists or not because if you are the type of person who would believe in a scammer you will get scammed eventually. However if we stop all these improvements in the tech world or any part of the world because those things are making scammers job easy, we are not going to get any type of improvement.

People call others on the phone and scam them and get their money, you think phones are guilty and making it easier for scammers? I mean they do, but does that mean phones are bad? I think uniswap is amazing and I believe scammers finding it easier doesn't change that fact.

I believe we are going to hit that 524k before it is too long. I know it may not be as quick as 1st of December, maybe it will take 6 more months, maybe we will be ready during summer but I think this is something that will happen one way or another and we will see it. Obviously people do not want to get involved right now, this is brand new and it is not even ready and you are paying for something that you will not be getting advantage of for maybe months, so people are scared and they are not getting involved.

However eventually with more and more money coming in, no matter how long it takes, it will definitely get done. Hopefully it gets done by 1st of December though, I would love to see the change, I know it probably won't but it would be awesome if it could.

People are exactly right, bitcoin is destined to go up in the long run and not every day, tomorrow it could fall but I know in 10 years it will be higher, which creates a problem with traders who lose money because they trade constantly. Would I do something like that daily?

I am not sure, but do I understand those people? Definitely. If you buy and hold you are going to make a profit for example if you bought at the start of just this year, you would have made over double of your profit, which shows you how great it is to buy and sell.

But, how about if you sold at 7k, rebought at 4k, sold at 12k when it hit there, rebought at 10k and sold now over 15k? I know you can't always be right like that but if you did that you would have made insane amount of money, even quadruple your investment. They try to do this, they fail most of the time but this is their goal.

If you consider bitcoin only trading along with long-term holding possibilities then there will be no risk at all compared to margin trading. I agree there cannot be any trading with no risk, but bitcoin trading with long-term plans might be eliminating all your risks as bitcoin market is always heading toward big prices in long-term which makes it possible. When traders are risking within calculated risk limit then the chances for enjoying successful run will be higher even in this crypto space regardless of its high volatile nature.

Accept the losses and look for new opportunities but you must take your more time on finding new opportunities then there will be a lot of chances for you to get back your lost capital. Definitely it will take more time but there are lot of chances for it. Never give up and always look for new opportunities .

Even I am already into peer to peer trading for years,  I'm not checking that I am getting best rates because I'm simply going for the best available rate from the order books. Basically I am not a trader still I am actively buying bitcoins for long-term purposes hence I never check for best rates in markets but simply going with available one.

If time factor is not a criteria here then definitely anyone could get the best of best rate for sure .
In my opinion, p2p trading is not for active traders. It is only for the people who are buying and selling once in week kind of timeframe.

I make use of DEX, but I don’t make use of VPN, the ones I have tried are really frustrating or maybe I have not seen the better ones, and who even needs them when I have nothing to hide? VPN might be good, but it all depends to the level you want to keep your privacy, that’s what will tell whether you are going to be needing them or not.
Decentralized exchanges I have used: I make use of Bisq, but the number of coins you can exchange is limited.

Another one I make use of, which I started using when I discovered Exodus wallet, is Shapshift, and there are lots of coins you can exchange there, seems to be unlimited. Uniswap is still new and it’s trending because of DeFi, so I haven’t tried it yet.

Price is not changing that much but the real trouble is volume is not changing all that much neither. As long as idena doesn't have enough volume to be supported in places like binance, it will not reach to 1 dollar levels, probably not even 0.5 levels neither because it has very low volume and the moment the price increases people start to sell and get out.

I realize that 0.25 wasn't really something sustainable because the more idena that is printed the more reason why it could go down, we need some sort of volume and trading in order to make it look good, otherwise it is not going to change anything at all. Maybe if we could find increasing the volume without decrease the validation rewards, that could solve all of this but that is not looking good for now, with this low volume it could barely stay at 0.1, maybe could even drop.

Yeah, people are also forgetting that when there is a big crash with the investments because someone won, you could get in right after that when everything is cheaper and make a bigger profit from the recovery process as well, so gamblers making a profit is not always a bad thing for the gambler neither.

For example let's say there is 120 million doge, it drops to 100 million because someone won, you get in right at that moment, same guy loses his 20 million earning an hour later, what happened? You won so much more money than you could other way around with the timing of your investment. Obviously this is not going to be something common as you might imagine but it is definitely possible to do. Which is why I believe even the fall of an investment has a silver lining hidden somewhere within.

Definitely going towards a new all time high, there is no way that bitcoin will stop right now at this price and never go back up, this can't be the high that we reached never to be seen for years to come, we are definitely getting closer.

I can't say if we are going to break over $20k in a week or in a month or in a year but I know that we are on the right track and we are going to break that $20k eventually, and we are getting closer so it means we just need a bit more push and we will be there.

Right now price is around at $15.5k which means we just need $4k more in increases to break the all time high price, which is only 25% increase. Considering we already had like a 50%+ increase in a month or month and a half, we could easily say that 25% could happen in the next month as well.

By the looks of it, trying to see bitcoin reaching 17k lacks a lot of vision. We have moved from 9-10k levels and even lower during the pandemic period (which we are still in but I am talking about spring time) where price bottomed as much as 5-6k and now we are almost at 16k right now, and you wonder if it could reach 17k? Why not wonder if it could be 20k+ and break new all time high? Why not wonder about 30k and do a double?

Those are things that could actually make a big bang noise all over the world when that happens, 17k is just 1.5k or so away from where we are right now and is like a 10% increase in bitcoin which to be honest is not a big deal. Bitcoin can do 10% increase in its dream, it could happen while you are sleeping and wouldn't really be a huge news when you wake up, 17k is as possible as it gets.

I guess printing money at its core is created needed due to shareholder greed. Normally companies have just one goal, to make as much profit as possible and if you are profiting you are expected to profit even more in the future, if you profited 1 billion in 2020, you need more than 1 billion profit in 2021 so that you can cover the inflation difference as well. Which means by logic all these companies needs to gather as much profit and money as possible, where does this money come from? If we assume nobody prints any new money, shouldn't that be impossible?

Without new money you can't have more money, hence why central banks keep printing money to keep this system going. We need a system that rewards not losing money and maybe not focus on growing profits but just keeping profits, that seems like only logical option.

Lol where you said it doesn't depend on supply and demand afterall what you explained there is still the same supply and demand that is causing the Bitcoin to keep increasing in price.

The price will be momentum for now, and people will have FOMO for sure since the time it took to move into $15,000 from $12000 was a short period unlike before, they are rushing it now, so we are likely to see more of the fast movement up on the chart, especially now that December is coming.

I am not sure about hitting another ATH price, but we are close to a very big thing from here. From all these, we can be sure about 2021 would be another more exciting year for this crypto space, let's wait and wait whet time unfolds on this regard.

The data that you could definitely go look for would be the minimum salary and car prices and house prices and school prices. If you look at food prices they are somehow better, they grew lesser than the inflation so right now buying a gallon of milk today is cheaper than buying a gallong of milk 50 years ago, maybe not in price but it is definitely better versus inflation.

However if you look at someone who worked a minimum salary regular mcdonalds work, look at a house 50 years ago and today, look at a brand new car price and today, and look at how much college cost 50 years ago and today, you can see the differences in these things that basically doesn't even come close to inflation rates that was given. Drop these into understandable levels, just these three (house+car+school) and you get yourself a better world. Healthcare was always expensive, that needs something else, I wouldn't know what but something else.

Do you guys all buy it because you think it will have a great future? I mean sure we are talking about "holders" but isn't the question a bit weird with first half and then the second half? If you are a bnb "holder" that means you are holding your bnb for a future profit, that is literally what a holder is, if you are asking "what do you do with your bnb" that means you have to do something with it and if you are doing something with it that means you can't hold it but can only use it or trade it.

This is the reason why I am not sure who this question goes to, if you are asking about the holders they are holding but if you asking to people who use it, we use it. I personally buy BNB time to time in order to cover my trading fee's, it is helpful that it is cheaper to use bnb if I want to.

I think it is not about "getting close" or anything like that, people who got excited about this news (including me) didn't get excited because we think 2.0 will be tomorrow, we know that it could take a long time, it could be as much as 2022 before it happens which means we are going to have to wait a loooong time before 2.0 is a reality and we know that.

What made everyone involved so excited was not the time period and getting closer deal, it was the fact that it is worked on and reached to a new level, that means we are done with major parts of the upgrade and that excites us, obviously we are going to wait awhile but that doesn't change the fact that we are now one step closer and that means something to us. Every single improvement matters right now in something that we have waited for years, even a slight light on it would make us feel at more ease at this point.

^The funny part about what Trump was trying to do ; he tried to stop Michigan count because "voter fraud!!" but he wanted Arizona and Nevada to be keep counted. If everything ends like this, he loses, if there is continuation, he loses, there is no scenario where he can win anymore.

Plus, no matter how many times you count the ballots again and again, you are not closing that gap, which means either he wins with the late arrival ballots becoming in favor of him in one state, or he loses, there is no path to victory on the finished states. In any case, the real trouble begins when everything is settled and Trump goes to supreme court, dude literally appointed his own puppets there and even if it is something illegal thing to do, when supreme courts deems it legal, they could do anything that would help them win.

If I remember correctly, 2000 elections were decided officially in like ... December? So, it can take a whole lot of while before it could be decided, I would say people who wagered on this election should be patient because even if we do know the unofficial results give or take and even if it takes a while for just the unofficial ones are decided (looking at you Nevada) we will probably not get an official one anytime soon.

Since the results will "most probably" be like 270-268 and very close, there will be a lot of recounts, lawsuits and many other things thrown by the Trump team, and there is a big possibility that nothing will change in the end and still will lead to same results but until the courts take the case and makes a decision it will be at least another month of waiting for the official results.

This is not something new, we are experiencing for the first time; if you have enough experienced then this must be the right time to go for shorting altcoins against BTC; but unfortunately most exchanges are not supporting that kind of trading still you need to do it on your own like you may sell your altcoins stash and then need to buy back at lower price levels.

Yeah, it will take time for altcoins to follow bitcoin's trend but immediately when bitcoin is entering into bull mode, usually altcoins face downfall to maintain equivalent USD value. Yes, if you have enough BTCs then you may buy altcoins at its every support levels.

This needs intensive analysis so that you can easily multiply your BTCs in comparatively more quicker time. I do buy reputed altcoins at every resistance levels of bitcoins; one simple trick I do follow to maximize my BTC holding.
