Oh yes, I just remember that bitvest and 777 from lightlord, , it is interesting how much the names we all know in crypto business world that got in early managed to get bigger. This is kind of showing one thing about bitcoin and crypto honestly. If you do a business properly without ever bothering your customers and never doing anything shady or scam anyone than you will get bigger and better and make a lot of money.

Sometimes you need to cover the losses on an hack attack, sometimes you need to work 24 hours to fix something without any sleep or break, however in the end if you don't bother your customers with like "provide me kyc!" "prove that its really you!" or whatever and never go "sorry got hacked your money gone" and all that than the only way for you is up. Stake and Primedice is the "prime" examples of this, they never cheated anyone out of their money and done things properly and now they won 2 websites that combine for 33+ billion bets made.

About the same team owning and all that. Stake and primedice got super big, we are not totally sure about the inner workings of what happened and what type of moves and ownership changes happened in the past but the one thing we are certain is that they are owned by same people.

Stunna was the creator of the primedice in original, now of course there is a whole team behind all of this and how much stunna is involved and if he still owns both of them fully or there are new buyers or maybe shareholders or even partners we don't know, they even have  CEO that runs both companies which shows how big and professional the companies are but all in all they are still owned by same people.

Not knowing stake is owned by the same company as primedice is cool because it shows how much stake got bigger without using their previous fame from primedice, stake is good as it is, without even mentioning primedice.

The same way, central bank, government, SEC and many more that has really been against the technology will have no choice than to work with it because virtually everyone they feel they are protecting from the disaster they feel blockchain might cause are solidly behind the technology and already adopted it and see the benefit it has brought to them.

Hence, I expect more and more of these happening factors this year to facilitate the movement of cryptocurrency market to its ATH. I really see Facebook coin being a major booster of the market when they roll out their coin and I know their project will be more professional as they have always been.

I am just confused on what it will benefit coinmarketcap to do that, they are not exchanges for us to have said they are using it to hype their platform in order to gain relevance, coin market is still the most popular for now and I don’t think there is any strong competitors, bitcoin is also a decentralized market and not being controlled by anyone for me to also conclude that they have been bribed to do so but whatever their purpose of doing so is, they just have to reverse it before it gets too late for them which is also bad for the market as this will discourage a lot of investors and make them see crypto as scam.

Fake trading volume has been a persistent problem in crypto. It didn't start today, a lot of exchanges has been doing it; putting up fake trading volumes to deceive people. It also happened last week as two exchanges were about to overtake Binance on CMC Rankings but it was later discovered that the it volumes are fake. So, this is not the first time, that's why I don't trust most of these exchanges, it would be better trading within us in this community or with our colleagues and friends.

Moreover, faking trading volume is not a new thing just due to crypto space. It has been done in stock and forex markets for decades. Still, we need to be careful up to the level that we are able to. One simple right away tips we must learn out of these discussion is, volume is not at all a criteria anymore for choosing an exchange nor choosing a trading pair.

I am not really comfortable about this project because of the fact that it is free, one thing I know for sure is that no one does anything in this world for free and would always find a way to take what they have giving you for free back, this is why am very scared of this platform because I might end up downloading a trojan into my mobile/pc that will keep monitoring my activities until it's able to get the details to my wallet, I think I am going to pass.

Yes, free tool but you are having a paid version too, right ? I do see this contradiction on the OP itself, it is like 100% free for limited signals and if we need "all the signals" then need to purchase a subscription.

I have not seen any of STO projects yet but I think the whole STO idea is still presently being developed and not launched yet but I really doubt the survival of STO since it still has a link to the government and they will still be able to probably monitor investors and their funds through the STO system which has still defeated the objective of blockchain, but this would really have been the best form of secured investment.

I just hope it won’t really take them very long to be meeting up with softcap in STO projects. For ICO, that is why you have the option for IEO now, you can invest in the ones from IEO which for now still has more security than ICO.

I am also optimistic about that because BTC has really been performing well by breaking all the necessary barriers that tried seeing it test $3000, for the past few days, and I think that the bull has been prepped for the run, we just need some good institution to come in and kick start it which like you said, this march has really held lots of good projects and other months will see to it that these projects manifest fully to have positive effect on the market value.

I see bitcoin entering $5000 before July and from there keeps its upward momentum till it reaches the speculated $10,000 on or before the end of this year.

Those predictions can be very tensing and annoying sometimes when you see some prediction and will be like where did the analyst throw his or sense of reasoning, imaging someone telling me that the price of bitcoin will reach $200,000 this year.

I wonder the kind of magic the analyst wants to perform that will make the price reach that amount, this $9000 price is the most realistic price I have ever seen too over the internet and it is not really a bad target for a start, from there I know we will still experience some dumping because many investors will tend to sell their coins now but this will no longer force it below $6000.

The only thing I know for sure is that I don’t see anything major happening until the halving of next year, even the litecoin halving slated for this year will have good effect on the market but not enough to bring the market out of the bear market fully into bull run but might set it on its part, the major halving expected to really turn the market round and make the major bull run is that of bitcoin which will not happen until next year, sure we will see some major signs this year irrespective of whatever everyone believe will be the course but not the complete bull run. So, let us all wait and see.

I really didn’t read my own meaning to it this way but he might actually be right, though this can only happen if the stock market falls beyond control and panic which I have never seen any major stock market fall beyond control but this action can actually force many investors into the cryptocurrency investment as majority of them all their lives has been used to one major form of investment or the other.

Since cryptocurrency, especially bitcoin which is the most popular blockchain investment now, and once bitcoin increases as a result of this act, many other cryptocurrency will follow behind too, aside this point you mentioned, I don’t see any correlation too.

I think the other poster for socialbet was a bit more professional, if you guys want to be taken seriously it would be better if socialbet account responds instead of stickyfingaz. I mean nobody really wants to see their casino respond with "bro" and than ask for a funding.

I think it would be wiser for a company that definitely has this much potential needs to find "business" people at heart as well, I know finding the developers and the designers are the main bulk of the production but if you are lacking funding and you need marketing than you need some "business" people who can do those sort of things, I know those type of people are not loved in coding and startup worlds but those are the ones that help you out during this stage of the company.

The part that really caught my attention in this article is that part where you said Central Banks are stocking up on digital asset too, I doubt this though but nothing is in possible seen we are not with them to witness what they are doing covertly, this might probably be one of the reason why they have fought Bitcoin so hard so it can fall the value for them to be able to accumulate more but it will still be good because their action will end up forcing the market to bull run.

Every of your analysis is possible and I really see bitcoin getting to $5500 by May, I am sure a lot of people will start acquiring with FOMO.

You are very right man, patience is the main key to successful crypto trading because the crypto market is very volatile so no one can know what could happen in the next minutes, but one way not to lose your funds is to be patience and wait until you see a rise back in the price of the coin, some people give up too easily and this is why they can't make profit from the market even while others are making massive profit from the market, so let's learn to have patience when trading so that we can make profit.

I have always suspected project developers too, just that you were faster in raising the accusation than me and if we look at the developers, they create the coin which means they will automatically have the larger part of the coin, just that they might not display this for public consumption which they end up dumping first ahead of any major investor that might wish to dump it too, but I don’t know if I am making any sense in this, don’t we think this act also might be good to control the rate of dumping from users, this might make the investor decide to hold the coin for long since the price they crashed it to might not be the desired one which will give such project more time to develop their project.

I wouldn’t even do such mistake of giving out my personal information to any airdrop too because majority of them are scam, if they are not okay with my email and wallet add, they should keep their free token to themselves and even in giving out email.

I have learnt to always create a special email for airdrops that if they want to hack it, they can go ahead and do so because we have to be careful not to give them email that contains our sensitive information, has they could also use this means to steal funds from us. I do join some because we might never know which one the manner is sent from heaven;I just don’t release my information.

That is actually the best way to buy an altcoin, it is very necessary to make sure the price has really bottom before making any form of investment in it but has to be a good altcoins because we also have so many shitcoins in the market now that has gone so low in price and may never rise again even with the bull run as a result of failed project, so buy those type of coins without investigating their base first may lead one to a total loss or get a stocked fund in an investment that has no much trading volume and activities for one to even think of quickly pulling out. Hence, I think it will also be good if the coin we are buying at low price is also investigated first.

I think it will be telegram, I would have said instagram but when it comes to Facebook, then what Sapp and instagram is already covered, I have not heard nor read anything about twitter coming up with such idea too but there has been so many rumors that telegram will be rolling out their own which I believe they are working on presently, this is why a scammer could take advantage of their plans to scam people last year by rolling out a project set to come from telegram which saw a lot of investment before shutting down their platforms.

It will also not be a bad idea though if twitter can come with theirs too, at least these ones already have products that will make the cryptocurrency more popular.

Do not be too hard on yourself mate lol, those mistakes are what will eventually make you to be a good trader, when it comes to greed, it really takes time and determination to fight it off, I have read so many articles on greed in trading a lot of times and sometimes, I still get caught up in it a little, some greedy actions of mine has actually helped me while some failed me totally but I don’t want to keep gambling with my emotions.

So right now, I go into trading, use my analysis to place my order and sell it immediately my analysis tells me to do so no matter how little the profit is and I have learnt to quickly take my eyes of it so that I don’t end up regretting my action when I eventually see how much I would have gained if I had not taken that step of selling it.

Thank God it is called marketing strategy and not scam, if I was to be in their shoes too, I would do the same thing, I know a lot of people will be looking at me as a bad person but these actions of theirs is being influenced by us and I term it as a reprisal for our judgment.

Majority of us tend to judge these exchanges at the early stage of their life when they still have low volumes and we look at them as not qualified enough to hold or handle our trades because of their low volume meanwhile they might have the capacity to do so even with low volumes. Now with that fake report, they have been able to gain the attention of trader who are still performing well on the same platform they believe was not worthy because of low volume.
