Not an exact comparison but they are somewhat similar. Overall, the ball is in their court and they can do whatever they are preferring. When there are a lot of possibilities to be cheated in physical casino, I'm afraid there could be multiple times of similar possibilities with online casino. Because, there will be the chances of sudden changing of terms and services and also chances for hiding evidences for the case to case like OP mentioned.

I like to suggest you to go for bitsler, they are being highly reputed among this community for year and giving them a try may enable some changes on how you are viewing online gambling houses.

In other words, the process of quitting gambling should be started from the gambler and then only the external help will be effective. It means the gambler must wish by their heart and not just on words. No gambler will be preferring to continue their struggle like they always want to stop their mess-up with gambling but they are finding quitting is more struggling one than their struggle of finding money from gambling. They choose which is less struggling one and this is the reason why they are continuing gambling and not taking steps to quit.

As per many gamblers experience, quitting is not easier hence they are preferring to continue their gambling regardless of how many problems they are facing. It is like when they want to stop, they are going for gambling more intensively. Probably there will be no end to this until an external help will be dragging them out of gambling world.

A little cooperation from gambler and an effective help from external world (friends and family) will definitely bring good changes into an addicted gambler gambler's life. But, most of the time these two things are not happening at right time simultaneously.

There were many institutional market experts who had predicted bitcoin to test $40k or even $100k in 2018 but we experienced a whole different things then why should I bother these hedge funds this time ? They sound like triggering panic for their plan of getting cheaper bitcoins. Definitely a sort of spreading FUDs, please do not listen to them.

This is the reason why I never look into anyone's opinion even from the crypto community then it will be with zero possibilities to bother for an outside analysis. Most probably those big media are not aware of fundamentals of bitcoins and not considering potential of bitcoin with respect to future but they do treat bitcoin very much similar to another stock and then speculating on bitcoins just like another stock. But, bitcoin market is fully relaying on its fundamentals of core concepts hence no need to bother about any short term speculations.

I almost agree with all of them but whoever made this list is probably in economics side of things instead of technological or leftist side of things. Bankers looking at crypto see different things than anti-bank people looking at crypto sees.

First of all one of the biggest reasons why bitcoin dropped was bitmex and the short futures which gave the chances to rich people to sell their bitcoins and use that money to buy short futures which they were gladly making money from, the lower bitcoin got the more money they made.

Another big reason was the mt.gox trustee selling 35 thousand bitcoins (and later craig selling another 30 thousand bitcoins 2 months ago for bch hard fork war). Yes all of those 10 were part of the reason why it dropped but none of them were the biggest reasons, they all played a small part in this drop.

Ethereum is still looking like a good place to put your money into if you ask me. I mean hard fork increased the price a lot but we are still way below the 200 dollar levels it once stayed, if you believe bull is coming and bitcoin price will be going up than you must see that ethereum price will go up as well. If you think bitcoin is not going up than no point on switching back to it neither.

Moreover, if we consider the fact that while bitcoin was 6.5 thousand dollars the price of ethereum was 200 dollars, and right now price of bitcoin is about 4 thousand dollars (with 50%+ more to go for 6.5 thousand dollars) and ethereum price is around 150-160 levels than we can say if bitcoin can go back to 6.5 thousand dollar levels price of ethereum could be 300+ dollars easily instead of 200 like it used to be. I would say instead of a 50% gain from bitcoin it is better to gain x2 with ethereum.

If you notice, even professional trader is also facing losses, it is not a thing only for newbies. But, professional traders will be having less number of losses compared to newbie trades. But, this does not mean that newbies should not trade. They also must start trading but definitely with very small capital. When the capital is small and within affordable limit on the occasion of losses, I believe they could be having a safe environment to look into the learning process more effectively.

Yes, newbie may start trading at any time but that process should be for learning purposes and should not for profit making. They must use small capital for this purposes so that they can learn all the required aspects of trading and then may slowly enter into the trades which are based on decent capital for profit making.

More than likely, I mean what is it that could stop bitcoin from being more than 20 thousand dollars ?

I am not saying it will happen anytime soon (it could or maybe it won't we don't know) but in the end all I am saying is it is definitely going to be above 20 thousand dollars one day. Maybe it will be before summer maybe it will be 2030 but it will certainly happen. That is why I always keep some of my money in bitcoin instead of cashing out and always keep my position stronger each week because I trust that bitcoin will be doing x7-x10 one day.

Obviously, we just think this because bitcoin seems like the best alternative currency to the current fiat currency we have and it is backed by the amazing technology of blockchain but if one day something better comes along as competition than I wouldn't mind checking that out as well.

There are right parts and there are wrong parts. First of all its true that there doesn't have to be any loss in trading if you follow OPs logic, yes people could buy coins and than sell for higher and the people who buy that will sell for higher and we will continue to have only profits and no one will lose. But that is theoretically possible only in theory.

There are absolutely no markets in the whole world (not even a single one) that only goes higher, you need to have both ups and downs in all markets and for that to happen you need to have people that sell for less than they bought.

Sometimes you can make profits while selling for a loss as well, you can buy from 6.5 thousand dollars, sell at 5 thousand dollars and rebuy at 3 thousand dollars and you can have more bitcoins that way, of course you need it to go back up eventually but you can "profit" that way as well.

I think we will have a good faith this year about upcoming good news. 2019 seems like a better year for bitcoin and crypto in general, even in 2018 when prices were going down there was a lot of laws and investments and so forth happened all year and that was great, so I think crypto space has moved to the second stage last year.

First 10 years bitcoin was basically trying to prove itself that it was a legit deal and not going anywhere, last year after 20 thousand dollars people realized this and people with money said "well if this thing is not going anywhere we might as well be part of it" and started putting their money there. That second stage is bitcoin moving from being something small and people unsure about into something corporate and legal with bunch of laws and regulations like stock market.

We will probably see an increase during this early nasdaq/bakkt/sec whatever things and we will move above 5 thousand dollars but that is nothing considering we were higher just 2 months ago, we will not even recover to the 6.5 thousand dollar levels, however after a while (after summer) we will probably start to see some increase due to the halving as well, there is a big chance companies and financial banks will start to put their money where their mouth is and after all the sec and so forth deals they will start to invest into crypto and have a part in this market.

They will want to do that before the halving so they don't buy it more expensive, if just "people" here can calculate that a huge investment firm probably has enough researchers to know this so they will invest before halving to make sure they get in cheaper.

Volatility usually means price of something going up and down too quickly, however looking at your post you are just wondering how you can trade somewhere you know it will be safe, so which one do you want, a safe trading or a hedge against volatility? If less risk you want than I can suggest binance and shapeshift.

Binance because it looks like they are the most trusted place with about 2 billion dollars traded there and not many (actually none I know) problems going on with the customers and thats a good CV to have when you are looking to put your money in there.

Shapeshift because that is literally trading right there without keeping your money in anyone's wallet, it happens between your wallet to their wallet and vice versa which eliminates the trouble of centralization. However if the hedge against volatility is the price than I have no solution since if I knew one I would probably use it myself .

If you speak on your own desire, hopefully no one will follow you after certain amount of time. I mean to say only when you remain accurate, there will be some support for your predictions and basically for all your actions. Moreover, you cannot speak anything freely but only with the support of enough evidence, meaning of freedom of speech doesn't mean like you said. Here in this forum people are speculating only based on their own analysis/calculations. At the same time we cannot do anything about when a prediction goes wrong or hitting perfectly, for both the cases.

Prediction and speculations are only guidelines and should not be taken as accurate calls for trading purposes. It is always emphasized here, people should go for their own analysis for trading but to get the overall idea about the market and its direction they may use what people do suggest here.

Nobody going to say anything about the second one ? It seems like a foreign language which I have no idea what it means.
I can see its about Bakkt so all of us here assumed that BAKKT is one of the three things that potentially could trigger the next bitcoin bull run but it would be nice to actually know what I am commenting on first.

Aside from that those three just the start, if nasdaq manages to put bitcoin ETF on their system and people will be capable of buying and selling bitcoin ETF directly from nasdaq like they buy stocks that will open up a million possibilities with 27 trillion dollars in their market potentially capable of trading bitcoin whenever they want.

All of it will not be into bitcoin of course but even %1 would be a huge huge change for us, right now volume is like 2-3 billion, if we can get only %0.1 of the 27 trillion thats about 27 billion in volume and that would make bitcoin insanely high right away.

Yes, top 100 coins means sounding like unable to manage them effectively. Moreover I do see lots of those coins are highly manipulated due to its surplus supply. Due to the reason of they are having big amount of circulating coins, they are able to get listed in top 100 coins in coinmarketcap analysis. If we are going to invest with this kind of coins blindly, I'm sure no one could help us.

I too believe this will not be a good practice to choose what are the coins we are going to invest based coinmarketcap. We must go for different analysis and researches rather than looking only on marketcap of one asset.

I do not know how this kind of strategies people are being discussed here as it will be completely misleading this community to go for investing into shitcoins.

Not just that particular project you are referring, but many devs are being scared of this down fall market and most of them are delaying listing their coin/token into exchanges. This is basically due to they do not want their coin/token to get dumped due to the condition of this crypto space. I think this must be a good action as delaying for some time before market will be restored into positive trend, may ensure that their coin will not be wildly dumped so that they will not let their project to go down.

This could be another reason for why some ICOs are delaying their exchange listing but OP has clearly stated that the project he is engaging is really good one and I believe he must have did all the needed due diligence.

There are lots of steps are involved in the process of finding ourselves successful in crypto trading. The very first must be showing interest toward various aspects of trading like what other currency pairs are available and what are resources are available for learning and training purposes etc. I believe you have done as per the recommended way of learning process to become a pro in trading. I am not sure how many people are doing the same even we are having many discussion like this.

I believe resources for learning and practicing is not a problem for anyone as we have the powerful internet now a days. If you need one particular book for learning some strategy, I believe definitely this community will help you to find out and moreover may get you the exact download link to get that book. This is just an example on how this community will be ready to help but only very few people are making use of it.

What are real digital assets ? This is the first time you are going to buy or are you already holding some cryptos ? If you did not face any big losses with the downfall we had in 2018, I believe you may start afresh like you sound but for people here who had the big frustrations in 2018, what you are saying may not be attractive as they have heard like this many times and their expectations were failed on those times.

I believe no one will be existing like they had booked profits by end of 2017 and might have been waiting all the months of 2018 and then planning right now to buy back at current markets. Even some people have book profits in 2017 they might have re-entered at some times in 2018 and now they are also into potential losses. Facing situations like this is very common but I believe most of crypto adopters have not lose their confident as we all believe into long term whereas short-term is mostly unpredictable and frustrating.

Crypto investors who are believing in to the futures in long-term definitely had not lost their confidence but I'm sure most of the mid term players might have decided to stay away from cryptos and they might have started focusing into some other opportunities.

Honestly not sounding like a good resolution. You must keep investing into bitcoin so that you will be getting wide opportunity to recover all your losses. Please note I am suggesting to go for only with the bitcoin and not with any other coins. Because, if you are keep buying on both rising and falling market you will be covering all the dips and peaks (given that you will be having enough capital left), it means you will be able to catch the most effective average buying level.

This way you will be ensuring a secured way of multiplying your capital. Most people buy sometimes and then going for watching the market and then missing out the perfect lower levels to enter. That is the reason and suggesting you to keep on buying as long as you are having some capital to do so.

It is kind of acceptable that bears might be in favor. To understand it clearly in layman terms the real problem is there are people with a whole lot of bitcoins, that is why even if the price looks great and everything is going amazing at the end we can definitely see someone selling a lot of coins and we can still drop. In order for us to get away from that danger we need to have such a big volume that even if someone sells 10 thousand bitcoins all at once it shouldn't be a problem and for that to happen we need to have probably at least x10 more volume.

Bears do not really have the "upper hand" maybe because not many people want bitcoin to fall further right now but the situation is just too available for anyone to sell and get out of the market, not for purposes of selling to drop the price but just getting out and finally profit after months of loss.

Adoption of bitcoin can be done for any reason and there will be no compulsory (nor any theory) it should be for making use of bitcoin only as money. True adoption sounds like people will be continuously "using" bitcoin and NOT they will buy and sell and then forget it completely.

For example, you may adopt bitcoin for paying your VPS hosting or to hoard in cold storage with the target of $1 million price levels. When you are continuously paying your VPS with bitcoin then you have become a true adopter of bitcoin and all the long term holders are obvious true adopters.

The right usage of bitcoin for percent time must be using it as a money making machine. Only after, it will be having considerably stable prices, it may turn into be used as money. I wonder how many people are understanding this facts about bitcoin adoption while entering.
