Very small or new casinos can be fixing games which is the reason why people stick to the well known ones that were reviewed by many people and have good reputation. Those will never scam you because the reputation is worth a lot of money. Much more than they would be able to steal from you. Be aware of exit scams though.

It's much safer not to bluff and focus on the cards, but there are exceptions. If you play with newbies they will sometimes be scared and playing very offensive and bold can scare them even more and make them fold with something like a pair in hand. So bluffing can work but it's much better to avoid bluffing with nothing. I never bluff with a bad hand, only if I see a potential in a flop.

It can go much higher than 20000. Bitcoin is like those small companies before they sold shares and became huge. We can trade Bitcoin already but those exchanges are nothing compared to stock exchanges. If the money that is being put into companies like Google or Facebook went into cryptocurrencies Bitcoin would have to be worth 10 times more.

Maybe on some insignificant exchanges. The low was was 6900 on Bitfinex.
We have a press section on bitcointalk. Would you mind moving articles to that section so that they're not spamming bitcoin discussion?


What rejection? Winklevoss ETF was rejected months ago. This was only their appeal.

Sure, it's just that it wasn't his post but an article from CCN. It's a copy paste.
A very good one though that shows the recent innovations implemented into the best coin out there. I hope that we'll finally snap out of this bearish trend especially that there are no bearish news and everything seems to be going the right way for Bitcoin.

Because it's an option. Why bar yourself from potential free money? There's always a chance that somebody will find your site so useful that they will donate a couple dollars in Bitcoin and putting an address out there doesn't cost you anything. Money is money, I don't see why somebody would be willing to donate ETH but not BTC.

All you were doing was spamming bounty campaigns and writing short low quality posts about altcoins. Forum is full of people like you and many of them get banned sooner or later. I doubt that you will get it unbanned. Better start working on a new one. Anyway, if you really want to waste precious time of our mods start a thread in meta and ask what was the reason for the ban. The answer should give a probability of your appeal being a success.

This is completely fine. We are in a long term bearish trend since January but short term there was a breakout into bullish trend which is still in play. For long term bullish trend we'd have to go to 10000 USD or at least stay above 6500. This time TA is working but what it fails to predict is the point when long term bearish trend will reverse. It can happen this year or next year.

I must be very foolish according to OP but I believe in Bitcoin and will continue to invest even if it falls below 6000 USD. If we aren't in a bull market yet it means that we haven't been in despair long enough.

If you ask one of the older traditionalists they will say that stocks are backed by companies and Bitcoin isn't backed by anything. I think they're idiots but that's their first line of defense.

The article focuses on OKex exchange. I have never used it, have you? It's trying to fight for first place in volume with Binance and with the high volume that they have it's really easy to hide some fake trades. Chinese exchanges were doing that in the past and this was one of the reason why they were banned and had to move somewhere else like Hong Kong.

The 2014 rally wasn't smart money. It was mostly that scammer Karpeles and Chinese exchanges went on to manipulate the price with fake volume for the most part of 2014.
I wouldn't want to see a similar fake rally ever again. Most people believe we'll go up in the coming months. Some that it will happen in 2018, some in 2019, some in 2020. This means that people are waiting with money. All they need is a spark that will start the fire.

I do since prices of altcoins depend on Bitcoin and not the other way round. It's a fact that you can make more money by investing in altcoins but in a bear market you can also lose much more because altcoins tend to go down much faster and end up much lower.

I think that we should get rid of it. The argument with rounding the prices isn't viable because the penny has such a low value that rounding the prices wouldn't change anything. You wouldn't feel that and it would even look better on the tags. This trend of making everything cost if $1.99 and not $2 is dumb and should be stopped ASAP.

They eventually will. If they don't do it now they will give guidelines for future proposals like did with Winklevoss ETF. THe problem with that one was they never changed anything and only filed a complaint that didn't achieve anything. Smart people would try to make it more secure, make the project bigger and safer and then try again.

I think it will at least double from its previous ATH. There's still many people who would buy it if they knew about it, mostly in poor countries. Bitcoin is limited so to buy you have to get it from someone else. In time it will be much harder to make people sell, you'll have to put a lot of money on the line to persuade them.

Of course I do. I don't have a hardware wallet but I keep my coins offline on a drive that doesn't get connected to the Internet. If I ever need to use them I'll connect the computer, update the wallets and send everything to an exchange. That is if it goes down and I need to get rid of it. If it goes up i'll buy a hardware wallet to be even safer.

This is what it ultimately comes down to. There are many factors among which we have news, acceptance, popularity, legislation, the corresponding value of fiat currencies, but in the end they increase the demand and the demand increases the price.
You're only wrong in one thing. We don't have a low demand. Bitcoin gained 30% because it's high and increasing every day but the prices need some time to keep up.

The best short explanation is that it's electronic money of the Internet. Money independent of banks and governments not controlled by anyone. Some people are comparing it to virtual gold because it doesn't depend on banks and local economies and its amount is limited.

It would be bad for him with so many people trying to track him down. He could be using the forums under a different name right now and remain safe.
Also for those who think that he should move his money at some point, he doesn't have to and probably never will. You know his officially mined coins and he could be solo mining in 2010 and make millions.

It doesn't encourage scamming. Do you even know what the word means? To encourage they would have to openly say that scamming is fine and supported. Being passive about it and letting the community deal with scammers isn't encouraging. It's staying away and not getting involved.
If you're stupid enough to trade without escrow or trade with someone who has negative trust you are to blame not the forum.
