Great updates thank you ethan and guys for keeping everyone up to date and informed! I think I can agree that if we ever bring back investor versus player we have to really examine how to make cold wallets and security work better. I think especially when public funds are all exposed with stats and numbers,,, it naturally attracts malicious parties. With transparency comes great responsibility!

Actually I disagree. The worst time for most alts, but it is also a good time for a few others. Some I have been holding had their worst times in 2018 and late in 2019. But they are now mostly at least recovered over 100% from their low. I have optimism for most of them,,, and if you see other old coins are doing even better just quietly. I agree with everything in your list except TRX and XRP;)

I noticed they started adding a lot of emojis from last week,,, when they were having a Holocause memorial day they used a new emoji. And now a lot of emojis popping up for random things, so glad they included Bitcoin.

And now Bitcoin Cash people will start campaigning for real Bitcoin;)

Good to see someone say development and adoption,,, and not price,,, as actually they are not even really related!

I would say development is important in long term, but adoption is important in the very very long term. I have seen incredible coins with super development but totally no adoption and they suffer. Look at HEX or other free airdrops though, so much adoption and practically zero development and they are so popular.

Speculation is always short term, for me,,, mid term even is not predictable with the way altcoin projects go. You never know except for the big ones which ones will stay longer after they made their profit.

BSV and BCH have not only limited use case (like you I think not even) and their founders as everyone can see are not even developers properly. I cannot ever suggest them except for pump and dump but if you play that game,,,

I think Piatek move to Hertha was good,,, I actually do not follow any of the games until I saw his pistol celebrations and he looked like such an exciting player.

I guess he moved partly because Zlatan came to AC,,, so many strange moves in my opinion especially all the guys from England going to Inter. He would have been good at United too bad.

Thanks for your responses to my query about how to approach gambling when it is culturally, religiously and legally inappropriate. I of course agree with you,,, that my life is my life, but the reason I ask is simply that, for some of us, we earn money on a normal job and it is enough of course to eat and feed people.

But like now I am not ashamed to say I earn a small amount from a gambling site which I myself play at. And I also invest that amount in another gambling site and profit is good. So I do not earn from gambling, but my extra bitcoin earnings are all gambling related. I am proud of that personally for sure.

But I can never tell my family where it comes from,,, the extra money. They would get upset:) And someone might report me;) So guys like us we have to make things up.

Like I said we all gamble actually everyone does,,, but those who do keep it silent and obviously we in the circle know each other.

Every altcoin in general loves sharing progress on coin development so this does not make Zcoin more special than others!

All these things you mention sound so nice and hype but come on,,, what does it mean to the normal user and why should this result in a price increase?

I really should start to learn more about Super Bowl and how to play it. It looks so confusing,,, but the half time shows are nice to see;)

Other than football/soccer,,, what is the most popular team sport in the world in terms of watching views and of gambling? I always wondered if it was cricket or basketball. I just watched the latest movie from Adam Sandler: Uncut Gems. He bets all on basketball.

BNB had its good run and if you think about it, all the BNB burns kept happening and price did not recover. For sure when the btc bull run starts like it is kind of now in a rally,,, every coin including bnb will rise but its potential is already reached IMO as a centralized coin.

People do not understand mathematics in their head;)

I like martingale but I know I can bust any time and I have in the past. But I do like having a bankroll that can last 20 streaks (not necessarily x2). And then I bet normally and wait for a bad streak, then I start martingale. Such as on roulette. If I see 5 reds in a row, then I start martingale on black.

I cannot believe a guy like that would go out and make himself look so stupid,,, then again maybe all of his followers agree and they do not really understand Bitcoin. It is like all those guys you see coming into casinos online and saying they lost 10x in a row so their math is good they should not lose, their casino is the one cheating;)

"I did not lose my money, the bank lost my money." - Joke but also legit;)

Keno is nice and I do like the idea of playing with people, but I suppose that means Keno could be slower so maybe 2 options. A single player keno for autobetting,,, and a big keno lottery thing that you can bet on, and you can have leaderboards like most wins, biggest total wins, and even sidebets like betting on who wins leaderboards!

I am so so in 2020. I started out actually losing quite a bit, you know, you feel lucky and you gamble big. But in the last two weeks I won back all my losses in the losing sites and took a bit more in one site (the usual one I promote) so at the moment, after deducting sports betting losses on Spurs I am more or less break even.

Me too my friend. I actually uninstalled Telegram like even long last year because it was literally nothing but spam. My fault in the end for joining a few channels in 2018, and then even after I left those groups I got invited into one after another. I regret using my real phone number too. Not to mention all the projects I actually joined and got scammed in 2017/18!

Interesting to read some of these. My question for you is, how do you suggest a person approaches gambling when it is culturally frowned upon and also not legal in their country. Should they just do it in silence? How do you explain to people what you do? Knowing it can get you or even your family in trouble.

And no this is not a question for me even though the situation is true where I am.

Exactly! I of course would like altseason to arrive again, so my Waves and NEO and LTC can all go to $100 and above;) But the problem is, when is this coming, or will it even come? And people seem to keep thinking ATH for bitcoin is coming any day now. They thought it in 2019 and they think it again this year but what if we have to wait 5 years?

Sorry for cluttering the post for Hold'em but it is very interesting for me! Actually never knew the terms for the various stages in english till recently, we play Poker where I come from but because it is not legal, we always host it at someone's house and we only play with people we know (or invite someone rare but still within the crowd).

We all have different names for it locally! And we call Jack "uncle" Queen "grandma" and King "grandpa" and a lot of variations of rules in between the turns. Like if you have both Aces red, you can "challenge" one guy to choose one of the first three cards to open, against you, whoever higher wins automatically like on a sidebet,,, Now that I have seen Hold 'em I think our versions are too complicated!

ICOs about to increase? Oh god no,,, we have had enough of them please. Dapps and mining going to increase I agree and that is only an indication of how active the community always is despite of the price.

Crypto is part of the future, but the future will be a lot of things like AI and data and IoT. Not just crypto:)

I only play Keno at one site, and it frustrates me,,, but it is also fun in a way, because unlike dice, you can sort of pretend that you are only aiming for small hits and play for it on auto, and if you hit the jackpot it is REALLY huge.

But I am most interested in an original game that no other site has I feel we should spend the most money and time on that,,, we should all brainstorm!

Something social is definitely needed I believe, add a mix of skill and luck and chat?
