Focus on the volumes of those coins because you should remain updated with your current investments before you decide to get more coins.
If you can, please share the list of the coins you have invested in, and we all would help you to decide if your coins are good enough or you need to add something to your portfolio. Still, it's better to wait some long because altcoin market is under slack atm and will rise once Bitcoin gets balanced.

If you take "me" at the place of an observer, I won't have any problems with someone doing it because I also do it. But I will never support somebody who would completely get addicted to it and forget their responsibilities that they need to handle of their families. And if it's about me, still I don't think anybody in my family and my friends have any problems from me gambling as they know that I don't get into it fully as well as remain in my senses to stop myself at times when needed.

Holding could prove better if the assurance proves right that our coins won't get harmed (like going totally devaluated).


Not good because after the fork, I am sure that some more downfall may be there in the cup of investors for altcoins before they stabilize and run the markets back to up.


Still not a better alternative, because being completely unsure that which coin will gain the most confidence, as well as value for investors, will prove to be a very escaping situation.


Hopes? Never. You need to believe or let it go.


Stick to Bitcoins as said in Step 1, no need to do anything but wait for the situation to take place.

Nothing new, because when you convert your Bitcoins to "fiat", it becomes turned into a local currency that you use for your local expenses and that comes under the Government's banking system as well as centralization hits you there which is why proper tax guide is needed in order to pay correct taxes. Here at my place, if you show that you got paid for Services, you need to pay Goods and Service Tax over this and if you show that you gained something through trading, there's a Capital gains tax that you need to pay. I try to pay Capital gains over GST by showing this as a trading income, but sometimes I don't need to pay anything because the amounts are not too high and non-taxable as well as out of tax slabs.

Randomly type something?
You think it's really that easy to get someone's private key stolen or be put over there?
That way, even Bitcoin possesses danger because there are some websites which leaked private keys of billions of addresses, but if you decide to find one with some balance in any of these, I guess you will need luck and power of light years to get one.
There are many users who are using MEW and are satisfied with the service including me, at least they are not like many other wallets that don't even give you the possession of your private key as well as don't support ERC20 tokens.

Any source? This one is seriously ridiculous.
Gold, Silver, Cash, Fuck. This is all creating too much mess in crypto world as well as confusing the ass off investors and becoming a pain for everyone thinking to invest in Bitcoins as the brand is now being attached to these "forks" that are providing nothing but creating too much ado for everyone.
Whenever we search for Bitcoins now, Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold's advertisements pop up at first and others leave it thinking there are so many types of coins in the market, they get scared due to being unaware of the fact that there's just one single real Bitcoin.

Giving all of you a reply one by one:

vv181, they may just try to make gambling a source of income but facts are a lot different. Nobody in this world could survive over gambling unless they have huge luck or they are too good at the games they play.

yoonah, nothing new as of what you said, the same thing was told by vv181.
It's not proven anywhere that "ALL" of the casinos are in profit because I have also seen many casinos going bankrupt over few people's huge winnings.

---

Unfair huh, szpalata? How is it unfair actually? It's you who gamble, it's you who decide to play at their casinos, so how is it unfair?
It's the rule that when someone wins, somebody also has to lose to let the game going. Tell me that if you own a casino, would you give the winnings out of your pockets?

It depends on the country where you reside because certain laws don't allow amounts exceeding "x" $ or the currency of your country per month, you may do it like try to redeem some amount this month pertaining to the limits that are to be kept in mind and the other in next month. I can understand that there is some risk involved of the price decrease, but going through law could be the best option than to get caught under radar for any fucking "accusation" they may charge you for.

Jameson Lopp, a BitGo engineer, and a lead developer thinks that Bitcoin is seeing a surge in its price mainly because of the upcoming fork that's coming in the way this 16th November. According to the charts, the price rose harshly during the month of October following the news that CME and CBOE will allow Bitcoin futures on their exchanges and the surge started from 3300 to over 7400 which is over 2 times and more than 200% in just a period of 30 days.
Do you feel the same way that we might be a victim of a big crash after 16th passes? Or it will continue its rally even after that?

No, because I have heard that Satoshi has set up a few nodes and machines already which will still maintain the efficacy of Bitcoins, but obviously not at a worldwide level (means when it goes mainstream).


Authorities are against it because it is somehow harming the ecosystem by using a lot of electricity and power to mine Bitcoins. They fear to lose it all over the mining equipment when in some areas of few countries, they are not even able to get electricity for an hour properly.

I think yes, it is possible post 16th November.
Many CEOs, Developers and Engineers are giving statements that it's all increasing just because they want to knock out SegWit2X hard fork completely out of the game which is why investors are pushing the value so high and at a stretch, it's all looking extremely epic. While I still don't know where will it be before 16th, I can clarify that we may see a big crash (not necessarily, just a speculation) in Bitcoin's value after the hard fork scene gets settled and/or it could even head upwards. Who knows? But all this is getting very exciting day by day.

As I already said, odds are very odd and they are not here to lose just like us.
For someone to win, many have to lose and that's how these sites pay their winners.
Just like you, I also like dice and sports betting because we know the outcome sometimes and we crack on them easily, but in binary options, it's easy for these sites to do some "molestation" with the system and show the price they want to show and you already know that people lose by even a single point as it's all been seen on a point-by-point basis. It's still better to stay away from such sites.

SHIFT looks to have been dumped 10 times from its highest level at 0.0012 and if you got in at such values or even half of it, you must have incurred a huge loss. But if not, try ADX and BTS as both possess better volumes than this coin. If I were to go trading alts at such times, I would never choose a single coin but diversify my portfolio into different coins as if one goes the wrong way, at least the other could recover my loss. Each coin has some potential and with your capital, you only need a 10-12x to become a millionaire. So why take chances?

It was because the value of Bitcoins got stabilized at 7395 and was stuck between 7300 - 7500 and so, alts started to rise but still stay calm as these altcoins' bull trend could be a trap currently as BTC is not going to stop yet. It's always better to get out with 10-20% profits which are still better than waiting for long and seeing the same coins going down even below your buy price.

Do you mean that we won't have our tokens locked when you said that there will be no thresholds?
Sorry to ask that because I am unclear about it.
Are these "tokens" (DTR) just going to be traded over your "decentralized platform like Waves' DEX or you are planning to get it over Bittrex or Polo?
Because I have not seen too much trading going on over such exchanges that are provided by ICO devs and even DEX by Waves.
According to your statement, your crowdsale ends when your target of 15 million gets reached. But what will happen if it doesn't?

0 is an unreasonable number when you know why it is succeeding currently. I don't think it will ever get to that price.
If we don't get mislead by some delusions that are getting seen daily by some giant names and continue to support Bitcoins (which is why Bitcoin is here and will be at the price I am going to say), we will and should not be under a million after the last coin mined because miners will still get their mining fees paid (not the rewards as it will be ended after the last mined coin). Until the situation occurs, I believe we will already have Bitcoin be taken as a globally tradeable asset all around the world and when everyone joins their hands, the speculation level will also be very high compared to now.

Under which BIP proposal does this SegWit2x scheme comes?
Can you exactly explain what this S2x BIP contains so special?
Will the upcoming addresses be different and acceptable?
Why are all these "proposed upgrades" needed? Or are they even needed?
Is this an upgrade itself or a "casual" split?

I am too much confused over this and decided to ask you that is SegWit2x going to be seen as an upgrade here to the current ongoing chain?
Or will it be split the way we witnessed at the time of Bitcoin Cash? I have not seen so much about B2X but I think it's still seen as an alt and to run an alt, we need a different chain or the same chain but with a split, no?

This will be the worst decision the Government of India will take because they should not stop the use of cryptocurrencies but rather try their hands on stopping the ongoing scams. Just the way Roger said, they will be stupid enough if they decide to eject cryptocurrencies out of their country just for the sake of their own satisfaction (to keep control over people's finances). Governments are scared due to the fact that they might lose it to Bitcoins which is why they are in the making of something that could give a shock to either people who are in support of Bitcoins atm or could be a shock to themselves after seeing money being sent offshore for trading.

Firstly, the decision of SEC to take down ICOs or check them if they are going to keep their words or not is actually fantastic. We really need someone to protect us, not after getting stuck by investing in an ICO, but by reviewing these ICOs and giving a fair decision over what to be done and what not.
Bounty campaigns will surely change the values in BTC but not in fiat, still, it all depends on what kind of project is it and how much investment is needed.
I have seen many devs claiming that when bounty campaigns don't work, they decide and stop these campaigns but not the project. They keep the project going and work on it, try their best to complete what they have promised and come up with the finished product.
