The thing about Bitcoin is that everybody knows about it. If you speak to someone who has no clue about crypto currencies, he will at least have heard about Bitcoins before. It all depends on the market awareness in my opinion. The more people heard about it, the higher the value of a coin. 

Sehr ausführliche Anleitung, vielen Dank. Über den TOR Browser hab ich schon viel gehört, muß ich mir auch mal zu legen. Welches Online Banking emfiehlst du denn zu dem Kauf? Bin gerade am überlegen mein ganzes Banking setup zu ändern um etwas Gebühren zu sparen. Monatliche Gebühren von über 10€ sind eindeutig zu hoch.

I am not sure if I understand you correctly, but just by holding coins you normally don't generate any passive income. The only real income you get is if the price rises and you sell your coins. One form of generating income could be to lend your bitcoins to someone else and take an interest on it until he repays them. But this wouldn't be a 100% safe because you can get scammed. Another form to generate income would be gambling, but this also is not safe. I am afraid that there is no completely safe way to generate income.

Hamster based marble games sounds like fun. There should be a lot of randomness involved which makes it suited well die gambling. I saw a few videos from some Dutch guys who make a European marble championship and comment om  it like it's a Formel 1 race Cup. Which basically complete randomness involved. Taking now hamster into that game could make some hamsters more suited for it than others. Maybe we get a legend hamster who wins us big money?

I am very certain the resistance analysis still works. If you look at current bitcoin prices close to 20.000 USD again than investors will take the price on reference. So if prices would drop to 5.000 USD then most investors would not sell their coins because of the high prices in the past. And without any sellers the prices would have to rise again. Most investors use at least some form of chart analysis.

A very nice list of space travel movies. Apollo 13 is definitely my favourite. It's so crazy to compare today's SpaceX rockets to the old NASA rockets from the 60s. The advancements we made on the last 50 years is huge and makes the quest to reach Mars more realistic.

I didn't see that interview before. Squawk Box is a great show to watch in the morning and always great to have some people on their to promot cryptos. I agree with him that it's hard to say how high bitcoins are going to rise in the near future, but the outlook is definitely positive.

Auch von mir Glückwunsch an dich. Ist eine echt schöne Münze.

I agree, geniuses in one area usually lack behind in other areas. Being blessed with a great mind is definitely a good thing, but creates a lot of other problems. I remember a very smart kid from my school. He managed to jump two classes during his school time and was much younger than the other kids. It was very hard to talk to other people, his social skills must be very lacking compared to his classmates.

I agree with you, the basic courses usually just give a broad overview of a topic. Taking follow up courses with advanced subjects is good in my opinion. Being specialist in some areas can increase your worth on the job market.

The thing with technology advancements is that once one company starts everyone has to follow, even if you don't believe in it 100%. The risk of missing out on a big trend is just too big. In my opinion its a good thing because I am fully convinced of Bitcoin's. Building up an infrastructure to manage cryptocurrency is just logical. And once visa did it, mastercard has to follow.

I am sorry to hear you got scammed. Unfortunately there is no way around it, there will always be people who want to profit from the success of others without doing the work. And especially in the last few month there was a big rally in crypto prices. I would argue that the higher the prices also the higher the number of scammers is going to be. For example, I have been trading a lot in CSGO skins over the last 4 years. There is a huge market with so many scammers that it is unbelievable, and they never disappear. Because the skins can be worth thousands of dollars, there will always be people you try to scam you. Which is really sad.

This is not such a huge surprise, because we all experienced the same on the forum. I am a huge fan of gambling, and usually went 3-4 times per year to a casino near my home town. But now with the pandemic, I couldn't even go once this year. And due to the availablity of online casinos lately, with more and more promotions being offered it's hard to gamble a lot more from home these days.

In my opinion the biggest issue for beginners in the crypto world is being overwhelmed by huge number of different coins available. When I first started out with cryptos I just focused on bitcoins. Any newcomer I would make the same advice. Look for one or two coins you heard something about before (this is likely going to be BTC or ETH) and just focus on them. It's easier to learn a lot about one coin in particular than looking at a different coin every day, also the risk of getting scammed is much lower like this.

In my country we are in lockdown since November, and it's likely going to continue until February or March next year. But Christmas and New Year are not cancelled for us. There will be a 2 week break from the lockdown just to celebrate christmas. I am really glad that christmas is not cancelled, because it's the most important holiday in the year.

I am not against the vaccine, because the corona pandemic is changing our lifes so extremely, I would be very happy if we could end this virus in 2021. So far I didn't really read a lot of news regarding the side effects of the vaccine. I hope they are not bad, but it's going to take a while until I get the vaccine anyways. I am assuming that older people, medical staff and high risk patience will get vaccinated first.

I don't agree with your bad outlook for 2021. In my opinion everything for the next year depends on how good we can manage the corona pandemic. Once we can contain the pandemic everything will recover. We are having multiple companies already mass producing a vaccine for next year. Now it's all about getting the people vaccinated and back to a normal life. It can't get much worse than this year and the many lock downs.

Falls die 9 immer noch frei ist würde ich sie nehmen

9 - Mauser

The human body is made mainly out of water, so drinking a lot of water makes sense. I would recommend drinking at least 2 L of water per day. The only problem I have when drinking a lot before going to bed, I wake up at night and have to go to the toilet. For me its better to drink in the morning.

Also once you start to play more regularly you should be playing based on a certain range of cards. Probability of winning is one thing, but if you only bet the top 10 cards, and fold/call the rest, you become very easy to be outplayed. For example, if you play J10 the same way you play your K10 or A10 then it becomes much harder for your opponents to put you on a specific hand. A lot of people take notes when playing online, there is wide variety of player colors you can assign to people. Which makes it easier to call or fold in some instances.
