The December 2017 thing was a onetime thing, even Novembers are like that, those are one time thing in the 10+ years of crypto existence, go check out each December in the past 10 years and you will not see mostly going up all the time, you will see that it is either going down or staying same or at the very best case it is going up just a bit like it goes up every time.

If there is one thing that is certain in the crypto world is that after few months passes in the year, the price goes up, every year around late spring to early summer the price goes up, that is a lot more consistent than the regular price increases on December, that rarely ever happens. Just because it happened once doesn't mean that it will happen every year, so do not get your hopes up about it every year.

Well, bitcoin can't change in the sense that people may not want to do something and that may not change bitcoin too much but simple stuff could always change. The biggest example I could give to you right now would be the 21 million coins versus the segwit thing.

When we are talking about 21 million being the absolute last coin and there can't be 40 million of them for example, that is actually something that can't be changed at all, yet when we are talking about something like segwit because it helps everyone and allows people to send and receive a lot cheaper and transactions get a lot more with the same fee that is something that can be changed. That is what I want to make sure people understand when we are talking about bitcoin being able to change or not.

I would say people who are trying to do something like that are as good as scammers, I don't know if it redirects to the real roobet or not because I didn't check personally but it seems like it does redirect but just via affiliate link and even if it is legit and just an affiliate link, that is still as good as scammer. What happens if I just put binance affiliate link to google ads and just put my affiliate there? You are basically stealing from the websites.

People want to go to that website and not from your affiliate, they know the website they already googled it and they are going there, you did absolutely nothing to bring them there at all, all you did was give money to google to help you steal money. I would say there should be some sort of punishment for this.

The little by little investment should be done for everything, I know a friend who uses a "bot" that is not a trading bot like everyone uses, it is just a portfolio bot that makes his portfolio like he loves and he arranged however he wishes whenever he puts new money into it the bot manages to divide it equally and so forth.

So, every 2-3 months he puts some money in there, and the portfolio bot manages to use that money to divide it however he wants amongst the coins he wants and so forth, that way he always puts some money into different coins constantly at every level, low or high. I may end up using that one day. Having said that, you could put NEO into your portfolio slowly, but by all means do not go all-in to neo, it is not a coin like that at all.

I believe if we could find a way to make it work for ethereum first, that means maybe it will move towards bitcoin as well. I know usually bitcoin doesn't have that kind of huge changes, plus we are talking about a coin that has a little over 2 million left of the 21 million, so only 10% left and by the time ethereum has its own PoS and bitcoin people wants to get that done as well and developers work on it and miners and users switch to that blockchain, it would be probably only 5% left, so I know how impossible it sounds.

But even more importantly if ethereum succeeds, maybe all these pre-mined horrible projects that owners give out tokens for free instead of stake or mine them by the users could switch back to staking it because ethereum did it and managed to succeed.

I still think even if it is not crypto and just a digital currency that is a lot of great work putting into currency going a lot more digital and that is what we really need, even if it is close that is enough.

Plus, these are not really that much of a big nation, I am sure they are great on their own, but neither Lithuania nor Estonia really matter in the financial world all that much, not like they are USA, China, Germany, UK or whatever else, there are basically some awesome and huge countries in the financial world, when those do it to each other that would really matter a lot, that would really change the world and make it a huge news in the news channels as well, but right now, this would make it news maaaaaybe in their own nation and maybe not even there.

When the system keeps failing with every single problem, maybe that system needs to be fixed? I mean we are talking about people getting screwed over and over again in their lifetime, one person who was born in 1980 would be 40 year old today and has seen 3 major and 1 minor crisis with 1987, 2001, 2008 and now in 2020.

Maybe if the whole world worked towards making the poorest people a bit richer so that even the poorest people in the entire world could get the best education and best healhtcare, that way we could make sure that nobody would ever be over 50-100 billion dollars worth but also at the same time nobody would die of starvation or they had to ration their insulin or anything so simple that it could be prevented. I agree that governments would take your tax and maybe "buy" stuff for government 100x more expensive from their friends and steal public's money, but that is also another topic.

This is why there should be going up taxes, the companies should be a part of it as well. If you have over certain amount of profit, you should be paying insane amount of taxes, you should be paying most of it back, FDR had as much as 90% and he really wanted to do 100% over a billion but couldn't.

So, I would say that if a company makes over a billion dollars in profit, I would say tax them over 70% new tax for every dollar they make over a billion dollars, keep all the taxes they are already paying, but a new tax for anything over a billion dollars, that could go towards helping people who are working but not making enough money. Or simply just get their whole revenue and tax that, facebook has Ireland as their main place of taxing because it is so low, I would say check their worldwide revenue and tax according to that.

The great part right now which is sad that it happened but thankfully it happened is the fact that doctors learned how to cure it, they are not all powerful and just click their fingers and cure you, but at least they know the method, they know that how a person could get better, will they get better or not the same way is unknown but the method is there. That is a huge deal because thanks to that we are talking about people recovering a lot faster and leaving a lot more places for the sick people, hospitals do not get clogged like our bitcoin blockchain does .

So, even if second wave comes the whole world is a lot more prepared for it, the first wave was a shock, nobody expected something this huge, so they weren't really ready for such a drastic change in life, now that we know we are ready for it.

Unfortunately things are not looking great for now, I am sure it will look better in the future, right now price is about $11.5k and that doesn't seem to be moving up or down, it got stuck there for few days. However at one point there is really need to be a change, we can't have bitcoin at $11.5k forever right? So, that means there will be a moment when bitcoin moves and it looks like up is a great possibility right now, that is why bounce back will definitely come.

Maybe it didn't come as fast as we thought it would come, maybe it made us wait a bit longer and that is why I believe there is a big chance when it happens it will happen even faster and higher because it has waited this long for a movement and that means it is like a bow, it is getting draw further and further and when released it will shoot right up.

This doesn't really gave any sort of date though, did it? I didn't see one. So that means $9k and $17k both will happen I think, price will eventually hit to $9k, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not in 6 months, maybe not in few years, but EVENTUALLY it will reach to $9k, that would happen. On the other side of the story, $17k will happen as well, that will happen with the same logic as well, it will go up maybe tomorrow, maybe in few months, maybe in years but it will reach to $17k for sure.

So, there is no doubt that price will not go up, it will eventually both go up and down. But, if we really want to make sure which one will happen next, I agree with that next looks like $14k or so, that is a lot more possible, it is close enough to make it realistic, other options are wee bit further away.

I do see that 100k is totally possible and it really could work out very well for the crypto world as well, if the price goes up, the more price goes up the more money will go into it, that is why I think there is a big chance that bitcoin would go up a lot because when it goes up it continues to go up. Like think of it this way, if bitcoin goes to 20k tomorrow, it would be easier to reach 30k after that as well, and even easier to reach 40k after that, it just gets easier and easier.

The only thing that hurts is the fact that sometimes people with a ton of bitcoin decides to take out profit and sell tens of thousands of bitcoin all at the same time which stops the going up and that causes the price to suddenly plummet to earth, as long as that doesn't happen 100k is totally possible.

I feel like the sports side is getting updated time to time and that is when you could face it, otherwise I have never faced any problems going to the sports side.

Especially now that NBA restarted for the past month or so (well it was preseason, then regular season games, now playoffs) I have been gambling like crazy, honest to god I should stop gambling, it has hurt me so much recently when I have gambled, I am losing AND having fun which is a very dangerous combo because you do not care about losing money, and when you do not care about losing money you just keep gambling since you love it and when you love it so much I am afraid I am going to be left with no money .

In any case I promised myself, after NBA part is over after the finals, I am going to just stop gambling for a month straight.

Anybody knows the people who put like millions of satoshi for the lottery?
I mean are they just wagering a whooooole lot of money or are they just spending money to buy the tickets?

It looks like it is not really a smart idea to put that much money into lottery, it is not a guaranteed win and makes no sense to wager on lottery when you can spend on the dice itself and get tickets anyway while also getting a ton of other benefits (like reward points or higher free faucet or even lambo tickets) so why keep investing all that money into lottery?

I saw people with millions of tickets all the time, well at least it is something not hurting people out but I really hope that people would realize how they could spend it a lot better than how they are spending right now.

Look guys I am not saying that Luka will be better than Lebron James, however I should point out I am not saying he won't be neither!! Thank god the game was a bit early and I got to watch it, the game ended a bit later than midnight here but it was amazing game and I am so glad I watched it, normally neither teams are teams I really follow, I like Lakers and spurs but honestly this game was amazing.

Luka played like no other 21 year old has ever played, it was unbelievable and honestly I feel like that could be the best performance by a 21 year old in the entire NBA playoffs history. No idea whats wrong with Paul George though, dude hasn't been himself all series, watched him miss a lot of layups, simple ones as well, I don't know if it is injury or mental but I know he is better than this.

That 12 thousand jump basically showed the hands of the traders. It showed that there are people who are willing to buy and make the price go over 12k, however there are people who do not want it to go above 12k or maybe just want it but the price reached to a point where they want to sell it and make a profit.

So, that basically shows what the situation is at around these prices, anything under 11.5k and buyers are stronger, anything above 12k the sellers are stronger, eventually this will change and there will be a lot of people who will basically overcome the other side and we are going to see some sort of situation where price will eventually either go down under 11.5k or go over 12k to make the price a lot different, but that will just take some time.

I would think that if any financial giant and not just warren buffet want to change their idea about bitcoin, that would happen with something a lot more major, like for example right now there are some big companies dabbling with bitcoin right now but not all of them go in big.

For example, the whole worlds financial companies like investment companies and banks and so forth have like a forex side right? Well, not all have crypto and the ones have crypto do not have that big, when they go that big, I would understand all of them get in, by that time Warren may not be alive like you said, but I believe it is possible for other financial giants, think of them as companies instead of people, like Berkshire might even if Warren is not around anymore to be getting in.

I doubt it is just sports industry, it is in fact all the industries in the world who are looking at crypto and specially blockchain technology a lot better, which means everyone in the world is giving more attention towards bitcoin and blockchain. Sports is not niche in this regard, they are on par with many other ones.

Finance is the big one that is involved with crypto a lot and gambling is coming second, exchanges and casinos are biggest in the crypto world and that is not changing anytime soon and nothing will take over those two anytime soon, not the way they are growing right now. However, I would say other industries finally taking a look at crypto is actually quite cool because we need adoption to grow stronger and this is a great way to do it.

Blockfolio is definitely one of the top ones ever, they have been used by so many people and there is really not that many competition that could make it a thing.

I have actually a great story about it, when it first came out on its third month or so I realized it is a great product and I was lucky to find the owner, so I messaged him and asked him to sell the product to me, I would own the rights to it and get the code for it, dude was willing to discuss which I wasn't expecting, I offered 5 thousand dollars and he just laughed dude said they were making more than 5k per month, it wasn't even a serious offer to him . He never said how much he was looking for, but I know for a place that made more than my offer per month, I wasn't even considered .

I wouldn't want that neither but I also do not want USA or EU to do anything neither, I hate china so if I was given an option of China or USA or EU at least I would pick EU that way I could say that they are not good people but at least they do not have that ill intention in a very backwards way, they would try to profit economically at the very worst and that is fine, they wouldn't make you go backwards in political way. Compare that to USA and China, they are very backwards countries, I already live in a backwards country so they would make it even worse.

Look at Syria and ISIS, that is basically what USA did that caused ISIS to grow bigger and bigger, or look at what China is doing at Hong Kong, they are trying to own them by brute force. I just want every nation to be independent, why can't we have big nations not meddle with other nations.
