Mostly in casinos people walk in shame, though I experience this thing but I don't loss much. I think its normal for you to feel like this specially when you loss no matter what the amount is. Gambling is very risky, there's no easy way to earn it or if you earn at the end of the day you still lose it. Settings yourself on what to do can really help you, and prevent you from losing.
I still do not know where people are getting the idea that mostly in casinos; people always end up having a walk of shame. Well, unless you are scared you are going to end up gambling your car, then you should have at least considered going to the casino with the car. Oh! That reminds me, gambling your car, can still make you end up walking the walk of death and not just shame alone. Jokes apart though, anyone who finds themselves in this situation should really go back and think about where they are driving their life to, as that always ends up bad. |

I am pretty much interested to know how many people here uses bitcoin because of it's system, because of the anonymous and the security it provides, and because of the fact that it is really easy to transact over the internet, and there's no one who can just block your account(unlike paypal, a platform that provides an easy way to pay over the internet, but you rely on PayPal to keep your account open).
So, are you guys using bitcoin because of it's nature, or because it's a financial tool of making money?
of course I will still use bitcoin for all transactions on the internet I prefer to use bitcoin because with bitcoin transactions more secure and simple than using other currencies. I am sure those who have not really made use of bitcoin with respect to transnational purposes, are the ones who will have a problem with stability. For some of us, we have really gotten used to the idea of bitcoin as a currency with the way it has really helped a lot over the years to make payments across border without having to deal with the government issues with monetary policies when it comes to international transactions. So, with that, it still gets useful. Who keep saying that people would not use bitcoin on the event of stable prices, are just forgetting the aspect of bitcoin as a currency and the fact that it is deflationary compared to fiats that is highly controlled. Hopefully, some of them may get to see this over time. There is nothing that will make me to stop using bitcoin even if it is stable which I totally doubt it will, and for one fact, I am sure the volatility will still remain, even though it ends up not being too much in the long run. |

Cost of living is something everyone should consider and even more so for those of us who can make our living anywhere in the world, but there is more to life than just cost of living, you also have to consider how happy you will be in a certain place. If we look at the countries with the highest happiness ratings we'll often find that they are also among the happiest countries.
The cost of living is actually affecting a happy state of certain persons in most cases. If people don't have enough of financial stability which will provide the security for a life they also cannot enjoy that same life. Those countries with the high cost of living actually have the higher standards so someone from a different country cannot consider his/her move to that country if he doesn't have the steady work there. Happiness is connected with the financial situation and no one cannot deny that. There are few cases where the rich people are not happy with all their wealth but that are only a few cases where the certain people have low morale and will. Yeah, once the cost of living is perfect and you can easily live every single day out of worry, then there is no way the person in such countries or cities will not end up happy and living long. There are so many countries right now that over 80% or more live everyday like they are slaves and they live frowning each and every day. I have been to some countries like this and they are always aggressive, but you cannot blame them. As long as you are happy anywhere you are in the world, you can live fine; you will even be more productive. |

Why such a negative idea? All we need to have faith. The downward trend is part of the investment risk and so as the increasing trend.
I really wonder. Even without having faith, nothing is going to stop bitcoin from still experiencing a rally which is normal for any market anyway. People always just like jumping into conclusions based on the present and the same way people like OP jumped into conclusion that bitcoin will never go lower than $10000, the same way they are jumping into another conclusion now. We do not know anything and we cannot see the future, so I think it is best we stop with all the bullshit and baseless prediction game. |

Bitcoin born to increase. Its the only currency which never fall down. The thing which we can do is to hold more coin as much as we can. Price is around 9k it will increase soon since its the only currency which go up every year as compare to other altcoins. Every one is trying to join bitcoin which can increase his demand so not only 11k it will increase up to 50k this year all we have to do just wait and hold our coins.
Well, it depends on the way everyone is seeing it. Either short or long term. It is not like bitcoin cannot even increase, but we should even be considering the future than the present. Every market is volatile and even though cryptocurrency in general is more volatile, that does not mean that we cannot see some pretty good value soon. We may not even need to speculate what will happen tomorrow, but at least we are not where we used to be. For $11k I think it will not be reached in this month, maybe next month. Well I guess if the price is already at $ 11k.. it will be more likely to lead in a higher direction slowly, it will not fall like as before. Hopefully there is not much news that affects to the many people until the price is hard to reach $11k.
I want to hope and be optimistic that $11k is something that will be attainable anytime soon. Everything is gradually changing, the news, the development and all these put together can really help to sprout the rally on the bull side anytime soon. Even though the market may have been a little bit slow for a while now, it does not mean that we are not going to increase in the long run. |

It would be all up to you, on whether you plan to stay for long and when do you intend to cash out, if ever. It's currently at $8,800, some hundreds higher than yesterday. You might say that that is already expensive but if you compare it to the ath at $20k, it's still quite a steal.
Apparently, the ball is in his court. Everyone have their own decisions to make, we have made ours and if he eventually decides to make his own, he should be ready to live with it. I do not even know why people advise those like OP, because left for me, they really do not need an advice. At the end, they will still end up doing whatever they want anyway and the reason most of them always end up joining FOMO is because they are busy waiting for a lower value to buy when they had the chance now and blew it. |

Isn't it so unfair for the people who is new here? That will be struggling making such as good quality post so they could be given a merit by someone. I know all of you is having a hard time thinking what are you going to post such as good quality.
It
It is really hard to have a merit it is because as far as I know:
People are selfish. Even though you post a really good quality post still there is a people who won't give you a merit.
Some are alone. Like me, I don't really have much friend who would give me a free merit. I know that it is easy to have a merit with a friend that have an account of bitcointalk.
My question is. Why still need merit? We are still struggling to rank because of the merit.
It is fair enough. they are just protecting us by preventing spammers clogging to the forums posting irrelevan topics (being able to earn from it). with the merit system i think they wanted us to post helpful ideas that can help the crypto society. Yeah, at least we have to keep looking at the good side of things. So far, a lot of spammers have reduced and with the way things are going, we are going to get the system cleaned. Nevertheless, I totally understand how some new members may be feeling with the whole idea of not at least giving them a chance to rank up as a result of the merit, but those who bother too much about merit really should not, and once some merit givers see the consistency and quality of their posts, they will hit those merits and rank up in no time. |

Yes, at least now the transactions fees are acceptable again and we have Lightining Network's promise, [...]
I wouldn't call it a promise since it's actually working on the mainnet. Every person can download the latest lnd client which finally allows you to setup a Lightning Node on the mainnet. I'm afraid that transactions fees are going to surge right after Bitcoin price start to increase again. That's why I'm rooting for Lightning Network developers, I hope they will make it on time. Yes. It may not be on a large scale yet but at least it is a start and the way things are going, I expect this to gradually set ups up for the mainstream. So far, they have already released the beta and I am sure that would change a lot of things. In addition to these, segwit adoption is increasing seriously, so at the same time, I believe that should help a lot transaction wise even when the price starts surging. People are beginning to see the advantage of using segwit wallets now over the legacy wallet. |

My country has some gambling culture but it’s not one of the top gambling countries. I never gambled as a kid, nor I see kids in the streets gambling.
I would say rich people tend to gamble less, some of them do, of course, but it’s more a middle-lower class thing.
The classical type of gambling was playing card but nowadays you see young generations making all kinds of bets from their mobiles.
I would not say only middle and low class people gamble in general as some rich people do too as well, but it just depends on the level of gambling and where it is being done. In my country, the low and middle class actually prefer the local bet or lottery while some middle class and high class would rather do sport betting or visit big casinos to do their thing. I would not say it is becoming a culture as some still have that negative perception about it, I just see it as a means for some people to actually want to try their luck which is human but at the end, the owners of this casinos and gambling spots are the ones making the money. |

There is no specific way to win in gambling but positive energy is a good vibe which can bring positive results sometimes. One of the ways of winning more than losing in gambling is to play games where skill plays a big part like texas poker or sports betting. In these kind of games experience is what gives you an upper edge and makes you feel confident.
Yes, positive energy lead to successful results in every field ( even in gambling), many believe that profit in gambling is by the chance only and this is a false belief. For me, when you have great energy and good experience and some strategies in any game ( like, poker,sports betting..) ,then there will be great potential for your win. In addition to that, I think the self confidence is one of the basics of success or win in gambling. And unfortunately , many gamblers always lose because they have a lack of self-confidence. Keep that story bro! Have a positive mindset in gambling because you believe it will make you win all the time, then, you are totally doomed. Believe what you want to believe but whether you like it or not, it is pure luck. The main reason why some people were not able to control themselves and got so addicted is because of the positive mindset that they can win, and with that, they will keep pushing themselves to keep going even when they are already losing everything. That mindset exposes you to more risk than you would imagine. |

For the last 24 hours the rate of crypto currency Ripple fell to $ 0.81 per coin. Recall that in just a few weeks of crypto currency, Ripple lost half of its December value. Today, the Ripple rate is fixed at around 1 dollar, which means that the goal has been achieved. It stabilized at this point. According to analysts' forecast, the drop in the rate of the Ripple below the $ 0.7 mark for a coin by the end of 2018 is unlikely, since the currency is stable and is constantly supported by large investors.
Yeah I think it's in a pretty stable position right now. Just wondering how it'll look like by the end of the year. Nothing is ever in a pretty stable position and almost all the whole market was like that for a while with bitcoin trying to think on the way to go, which is how I see it anyway. I really pity those of you guys who are holding ripple now and I really wish you know the history of ripple, but we all have our own decisions to make anyway, so I wish y'all holders’ good luck, but do not expect much. If you people listen to some misguiding predictions to continue holding your ripple out of greedy, I cannot explain what are the disasters you may face for the reason of just holding a centralized asset. |

If it has a successful ICO, has the good review by the community I think you can not buy their tokens with a cheaper price on exchange site. Bounty hunters are smart guys, they can realize this.
You may need to take back what you have said. It is not all bounty hunters that have sense to know they should not sell below ICO prices and as long as they list it and someone is willing to buy what is worth more from them at a lower price, which would always make the bounty hunters to lose out the more in the long run. I wonder why people do not use their brain anyway. Is it better to buy during ICO or Market? Buying at ICO is relatively cheap price than in Market, but the price can be uncertain at any time can change and to buy in the market its price is certain if my knowledge so far.
A lot of things can happen to the price once it hits market, so in the real sense no one can actually say exactly what may end up happening. However, if we are to keep considering not buying from ICOs, we also have to consider that a lot of bonuses in percentage are giving to those who register during ICOs which you cannot get on exchanges, and also, we have to also consider the fact that, we cannot predict the future and the trend also have an effect on the market generally. |

At least market starts recovering, hope that was bottom. I think next rice or fall would depend on G20 summit results
Yeah, I guess we have to wait for the outcome but from what I can see so far, I guess it is really nothing to worry about. All these are just a way to spread unnecessary FUD in the market and there is really nothing serious here. The market once a rally starts now will be so glaring and we all will see by then, but this is a good phase for everyone to load up more for that moment. Basically we are in a bear market and that is exactly what is happening right now but I really would not be worried in this case as there is a lot coming for the cryptocurrency world. I am sure with the whole regulation of a thing; so many people may be withdrawing in large quantities right now until they are sure there is no serious fire on the mountain, so we may have to get used to this moment right now. |

I love crypto world and I`m supporter of bitcoin, so I want bitcoin to be more stable than before, based on my personal experience bitcoin price is multify in every year so, may I ask to anyone here who knows that bitcoin price will reach the higher price again.
I think many bitcoin user choose to hold their bitcoin instead of use it to their personal needs so bitcoin price is decreasing.
now one knows mate when will be the growth rate of bitcoin goes up and reach the ATH 'cuase the market is very unpredictable due to the volatility of price time on time. And actually if price reach the higher value it means there's a mass adoption in the market and if the price is decreasing for sure there's a panic selling or any negative issues with bitcoin. that's why we have no idea nowadays where the price will go because the price always fluctuate. Yeah, as no one is a soothsayer here. We can only stick and work with whatever the market gives us at the end of the day. Everything is based on whatever ends up happening in the market, be it negative or positive and so far it seems bitcoin is just being punched down every now and then for a while now but that does not mean the downtrend will not be over at some point and we will see glorious months as time comes but it takes time. Do we all even have any other choice than to wait ? Market cannot be predicted and we can only play along based on indicators and some analysis even as traders, but we cannot say exactly what can happen, but maybe the whales do, I cannot say. However, no trend lasts forever and as long as bitcoin market and crypto market in general is not dead, then I do not see it happening which I believe the condition of death does not even sound more like it. |

I'm still wondering why bitcoin suddenly dropped over 11kUSD. i thought that it will hit 30k usd this year, but how come it's suddenly dropped? i dont think so if its manipulated by whales or maybe the supply and demand of bitcoin is one of the problem . or maybe uts a chance given to us to buy so we can havea good profits. can someone explain?
The price drops because someone is selling his coins and the market can't absorb the excess quantity. This needs a new buyer to pull the price up, with the popularity of bitcoin this will attract new investors as the price is cheaper. So, this is a good opportunity to get bitcoin at cheaper price. If you are referring to MtGox trustee, he has even paused the whole selling for now, but we cannot expect the market to just start a bull run immediately after all that has happened and that is still going on. It is a market which is normal to respond to the current environment that it is in and from the look of things, there is really nothing that can actually gear up the buying forces right now, so I guess we just chill and wait while dealing with what is at hand presently. |

In my case i start in cryptocurrency without having any capital. Because i don't have a capital to use in investing or trading. I do bounty campaigns so that i can earn money.
I actually started investing at some point as that was how I got here anyway but when I ended up realizing all the opportunities I could get by making use of the little resources that I have to earn some cryptocurrencies, then that story changed for good. Actually, anyone can earn without a single dime and that is really good and while combining all that with your knowledge of trading, one can easily make a lot from this world of cryptocurrency. But eventually after realizing that I actually do not need to be investing my real cash as I can easily work for that, it made it easy to be part of the investment of any project I have a desire for and that has even given me more at the end in investment than I would have actually invested myself. Anyone can start with zero cash and if they have even more skills to offer, it can increase speedily in no time. |

I think if the income from crypto is not great then it works real because we need a definite income to meet daily needs but when income from crypto is big and can meet the necessities of life then get out of your real work and focus on cryto develop until you can leave income from crypto to open a business or investment.
Why would anyone even leave a good income paying job when they are not even sure what they are coming to get in the cryptocurrency land ? It is like the biggest mistake anyone will ever make. At least, it is better to even try to do both, over time, get good and conversant with the cryptocurrency environment, weigh those options and see if what you are getting from crypto is worth living for if you can devote the time you give to your job and be so sure about it, but unfortunately, some people like taking steps without even thinking. |

It could only happen if Govt. adopt Bitcoin as the legal payment mode. Fiat is failed in economy and poor are getting poorer as the money value dec. due to inflation. If currency value is being standardized then we can overcome with such situation, otherwise, the dream of freedom and equality will last as a dream only.
Hmm. Well, we can still have a chance now as it seems that regulation is going to be knocking on the crypto door as the governments would rather just embrace it, but I see the regulation as the little price to pay to see the freedom happening, but at the end it is still not a total freedom, just something a little bit close to it. The dream of freedom and equality is something that is over rated, and we cannot see happening, so I feel people should just get over themselves and face the real world. |

It would still continue to be volatile as long as it exists. Even if it consecutively drop or continuesly up, its still a normal thing for cryptoworld. Its a part of every investment, theres always no assurance whether you will gain or not, you only have a chance. This is just a prove that the market and the traders are still alive.
There is no point of denying this fact that the crypto market will always remain volatile and that you will keep on hearing good news as well as bad news but the only thing we need to do is that we need to handle the situation very much carefully and that we need to keep our emotions under our control at time when things are not in our favor. Market is getting better and that we will be able to have a hear some good news in near future too. Right with keeping emotions under control irrespective of whatever happens and that is absolutely true. Market has shown huge sign of strength in the past, and it will keep showing great sign of strength in the future. Anyone who understands that it is a volatile world will believe totally that it is always bound to happen and there is nothing that can be done about it. I want to believe that after the G20 summit, with some of the things I have been hearing, the government globally should at least have a different perspective with the idea of cryptocurrency. |
