I also feel what we call and advantage is the reason alot of players are beginning to lose focus.  I think the aim should be on site that offers good bonuses not jumping from one site to another all in the name of looking for a fun site.

I understand so many people will not see any sense in what I am saying because many claim to be playing for fun and this is obviously the reason for the search for fun sites but I have to put it straight here that house edge that has designed to always be in favor of the casinos is because the site operators are aware that some players are only after the fun and do not care if they lose their money  To those who are only concerned about having fun in gambling, I have a short message for you, keep enriching the site owners while you go broke.

The wagered amounts are looking really nice, I remember top bettor being like 0.5 at one point, wolf.bet is getting bigger and bigger everyday, it is like a marvelous deal to watch a casino grow so much and it really feels like a special case for me, I know I have nothing to do with wolf.bet team but I have been here long enough to feel special to watch it grow so much.

We literally have zero other data about wolf.bet and how they are doing and if they are doing well other than just this contest but looking at the contest itself you can actually see them growing so much, it feels amazing. One day when wolf.bet is number one in everyone's minds I can literally say I was here long before anyone else and be like those hipsters who "liked it before it was cool".

Seems there is a deal that the team members of this project have signed with all these wonderful big exchanges that is making them all come out for EIOS at this period, and I have actually heard of the support of Binance, but never heard of that of huobi until now and this is really a great news for EOS.

EOS is definitely ready for a boost in the value of their coin right now as these two exchanges will be listing and supporting the project, many other projects may start picking interest in their own blockchain too which will definitely boost the price of EOS in the long run, but my major concern right now as EOS is ready to man up is that we will still have lots of people that will pull the price down when the coins starts increasing. This might eventually still force it to have a premature bull run and come back to bear market again.

Well, this is still not surprising to me because the USD has always been the dominating currency, and this is the most important currency to some people in the world, and it is even a perfect thing to me, if people are changing their dollar to cryptocurrency, it will easily make the dream of cryptocurrency to be achieved when it becomes fully legalized, which means majority of USD holder would have become used to making use of cryptocurrency and probably would have converted all their coin to crypto by then, by why talking of Libra when the coin we should be talking about right now is Bitcoin.

I am really not seeing the function of Libra coin other than the normal digital payment that we have around us, and also the fact that this coin is a centralized coin and will be fully controlled by Facebook and its team with all our information at their palm.

You mean that they are hiring Indians in order to cut the salary that they pay or what? Because, there is a hidden fact that they work with an Indian person does not mean that the Indians too will not spend as much as the American citizens is spending since it involves the Indian man living in the United States.

If it was an online job, we could say that it is justifiable because the standard of living in India will be different from the standard of living in the United states, but if they are both working in the United states, what is applicable to the American citizen there is what is also applicable to the Indian citizen there too because they are both under the same influence and under the same government. From what you said, this is what I could actually deduce, regardless of I didn’t get your point completely.

It seems facebook is not even bothered about this threat as I am still getting some update as regards their launch against 2020, so it’s like battle between Facebook and the government and I am waiting to see who would win, but I don't know why Facebook is so desperate about their Libra project if the really don't have some hidden secrete about it.

Before cryptocurrency became popular, they have been making enough profit and without cryptocurrency, they will still continue to make profit and remain world's largest social media platform with the largest users database, so if people say they don’t want their Libra coin, and government too are against it, then tell me why exactly they are trying to impose it on people. Libra coin seems like a threat to everyone and I don’t think it should be allowed.

The reason why bitcoin will be better than gold when it comes to profit is that dollar will lose value, and when dollar loses value, it will make the fiat cost of purchasing one bitcoin to be very cheap, which people can accumulate ahead of when the financial crisis will be over, when the financial crisis is over, definitely the value of dollar will appreciate also, and this means there will be enough profit for those that purchases bitcoin during the financial crisis.

Gold is also good but, the increase in gold can never be as high as the increase that you will get from bitcoin, the volatility of bitcoin create a very huge gap for people to be able to make huge profit while gold does not give that chance. The only difference between bitcoin and the gold is that gold is less risky.

I think some of these big exchanges too are beginning to take advantages of people by putting thousands of dollars to list a project that is even not going to worth it, it seems to me that they are now opportunist, having knowing what is going on in the ICO sector, and knowing that the chances of the altcoin even surviving is low, they want to quickly exploit them and make so much form them.

I don’t see what they are charging such huge amount of money for, and some stupid project and some gullible team are actually paying it, if they had all rejected the fee, by now, many of these big exchanges would have forced their listing fee now. Now, please do tell me exactly what service does the exchange offer that they collect so much money? I even learnt of recent that binance was beginning to ask for a protection fee against hacking, can you just imagine that annoying thing?

Despite all these that should have sounded positive for bitcoin and increase the price, yet I have still not seen any slight improvement in the price of bitcoin which I so much expected ought to have even started making impact before the launch of the project as a result of people's expectation which should make them make some minor purchases ahead of the back, but no one seems to shake their body that much to the news.

We are the one here full of high hopes, while I don’t think it has ever motivated the investors to make the investment that is needed to help push the value of bitcoin high. I am still giving it time to see how effective the use of bakkt platform will be and create that bullish trend you think it will create in the long run. Within the next one month, if nothing still happens, then bakkt isn’t the savior.

We would not really know what could lead to price increase of bitcoin because bitcoin is an unpredictable coin, ok look at recently the hype was everywhere that the bakkt will add some value to bitcoin, I expected that it would have been a motivating factor for some investors to start putting in money ahead of the increase, but rather than seeing any increase, the price plunged by $400, this alone sent signal to me that we may not really see much difference in bitcoin price because of the release of bakkt, but there is still time though.

The platform is a new one and just launched, I believe that as time proceeds, we will surely see if this is going to have some effect on the price of bitcoin, but beyond bakkt, I know that there is still going to be an increase in the price of bitcoin soon because we are much due for the bull run.

It is at least worthy to keep your purchasing power the same. The trouble with all other stocks and gold and what not is that your money stays around the same (or make a bit of profit at most) and then you still lose purchasing power, whereas in bitcoin if the price of bitcoin goes up according to how much purchasing power you lost then you still can buy the same things, it is a temporary situation where you can't continue to make that much money but at least for a while your investments wouldn't lose value.

It is risky and something we shouldn't hope that would happen but at the end of the day if it is gonna happen anyway then I would rather stay on bitcoin than anything else, its a very risk free compared to all other investment options to be honest.

Ripple surged, verge surged, doge coin surged and so as other coins like you said, but it is quite too early for us to have believed that it is bull run for altcoins, if I tell you that I am beginning not to believe in bull run for altcoins again, will you say that I am crazy? No, I am not crazy, because what created bull run in the last bull run was just simply ICO.

Through the ICO, many big investors with very large money believing they could triple their money based on the hype then pumped their money in large amount into altcoin market, But majority of them has been dealt with by whales and they have kind of gone down now financially, so it will take more effort for people to even believe in putting money in cryptocurrency again, and you can see what I am saying from the rising dominance of bitcoin.

I guess the little increase we saw in ripple was just a test for holders to see if they are willing to still stay with ripple or not, but it is obvious that ripple team was disappointed as the moment they witnessed a little increase of recent, it was not long that the price dumped again, because people were virtually quickly pulling their money out which I honestly did too because I was tired of this project.

I don’t think that we will ever get the chance to remove the coins we have again and don’t be surprised if you see the price remain stagnant on this value for a very long time because they will not be willing to manipulate the price higher again having seeing how people are eager to move their coin out and it will then get to a stage where their investors will get tired and pull the remaining pieces out.

How to stop doing that is just for you to stop being greedy, because i can see that it is typical greed that is just making you to leverage high, someone who is not greedy will never leverage high and would just trade normally and if we are going to leverage, the highest that we should leverage is 2x.

Leveraging is a very risky trade and it is not all about being an expert in trade, you can be an expert, but it will only be shown when you are trading without leveraging, so if you really want to minimize the risk and losses, make sure that you reduce your leverage, at least the experience you have had with high leverage will help you to scale through low leveraging and you will find yourself actually doing much better with low leverage.

I use to trade on bitmex before and their service has actually been great but I later switched to Binance because of the great things that I have heard about it, and because they have more trading volume and coupled with the fact that they have very low trading and withdrawal fees, I was actually considering trying okex exchange also because of the hype that I have also heard about them and I was just about trying them out when I heard of the news of how they have delisted all the privacy coin that they have on their platform which there is no point in me using them since I cannot have all the coins that I want to trade on them.

It was because of this that I think they will lose a lot of Customers no matter the other benefit that they have, privacy coins are very important to some of us and I really don’t know why they chose to delist it.

I hope that this will be the catalyst for the bull run that we have been waiting for, many people have really spoken high of this bakkt factor and I have heard how people are eagerly waiting for it and I believe that this bakkt release will set a new goal and set a new value for the price of bitcoin.

One more thing that I see about this bakkt platform is that for it to have been released, the owner of bakkt must have gotten some approval too from the government being the owner of the largest stock market, so he would want to do things in the right way, and it means that their government too his even in support of this, which means regulation is gradually setting in and I am sure that this bakkt owner will also be in partnership with government.

That is what most of us who has suffered this loss of investment are now doing, we just focus on gathering more coin through bounty campaign, but there is still an issue even with that also, most bounty campaigns end up wasting our time, we work for long time, and in the end we end up not getting paid no matter the research we do on the project, it is a little difficult to really spot the very bad ones out of the market.
 
This year has not really been a great year at all, I could remember that in 2017, after I participate in a bounty campaign, I still go further to invest in them because of the prospect that I see, but the ones nowadays does not even have any prospect and neither does it have any future anymore. We just jeep holding them and believing that things will change.

I hope so because we are beginning to turn the cryptocurrency space to a Ponzi scheme game where we want our money to instantly turn double the moment we leave it and it really does not make sense, the reason we invested in those projects is because of the technology, and they asked for the money to be able to build the technology to a certain standard, investors needs to ask if it is the same day that we put the money is when we want instant result, and how can technology develop the moment we put money.

When it comes to technology development, it takes time a lot and we should just allow them to get to the full developmental stage first before we start expecting what we are expecting from them. I also believe with you that the crypto space will also be purged of all these issues that is delaying its growth.

Right now, I am trying to sense that there is a blackballed thing going on with Melo, I don't know if he did something wrong with rockets or even OKC because dude is literally not given a contract by force, we are talking about 30 teams and 8-9 man rotations which means 250+ players needed for the league and owners can't possible make us believe that there are 250+ better players than Melo, that is not possible we all know Melo is still a better player than half of the league.

This is why I think this is more personal, either they don't like his character or his treatment to teammates or something, no idea why but its too obvious its not related to basketball. We see players saying "Melo needs a contract" but we never see any player saying "we should sign him to our team", that means maybe even players do not want him on their teams? I don't know but he should definitely be playing based on his talent even now.
