And the fact that people hide the truth because they dont want to be judged. Just ask yourself, if someone was an addicted gamblers running through debts, would they want this reality to known to their friends? No. They would want to seem rich and famous. So their friends who are less informed would take it that gambling is worth the time and profitable giving them a false conclusion.

However this does not mean that there are people who only fake the truth. Many realize that gambling in the long term has got very less good effects on your bankroll and health. They preach that to those they care about too.

Both of them are risky. No speculation based marketplace is risk free. If you are doing it then you are taking an inherent risk. Thats the price for the reward.


I would not suggest someone to go for this or that. Depends on what the person prefers and what they are more comfortable with. Someone may have been doing forex for sometime and find trading it easier. Its possible to diversify and learn about another one like crypto but this is tough and practically needs a lot of homework.

Technical is not always the way to go. Its often based on simple assumptions that are going to go 50-50 so forex would need a lot of political news interpretation to determine trades.

Staking may sound pretty good but here are some downsides that one should consider before going for it.
1. You have to store your coins on the exchange. If thats not there then it good. But if you have to store coins there then be at risk when hacks happen.
2. They may force KYC on your at any moment and put your funds on lockdown unless you clear them. At the moment your hands are tied and you have no authorities to complain to.
3. Staking rewards are pretty low if you are hoping to find something similar like a good interest rate from bank - then you are mistaken.
4. The staking rewards token will also be dumped making it difficult to reap any profit in the sell orders.

Well the difference here is that those who are taking part in bounties are getting paid in shittokens which are useless. You can see me wearing a signature that pays in bitcoin which is what I suggest to people. Bitcoin paying campaigns are similar but not worthless. Good eyes though, I have been told this previously as well, and this is what I suggest them. Go for bitcoin paying campaigns and boycott bounties.

Its good that you take your time to reply here its helps me clear out some points which may seem contradicting. Appreciate your effort!

Sorry that you see this from your perspective but its not so. If it was something like that then the admins would have changed the system, its running for more than a year now I myself reached the self-made senior rank, will soon become self-made Hero and Legendary. I am pretty optimistic about it.

Whether you get merits or not depends a lot on your luck and how much merit sources have at the moment. There have been members who ranked up from newbie to much higher ranks. Check out the meta section and you will find some inspirational threads.

Sounds very nice but I would not suggest anybody to "follow" tipster sites. It is possible that they may have some insider news but using common logic you can say that majority of it is just a pseudo-science just like Technical analysis in trading.

I am not saying that they are bad. But if you are a sports enthusiast, its always the more healthy approach to develop your own charts for games, track records and outcomes to deduce predictions. Why waste money on someone who might be just bluffing you for their own gains?

I am sure people have heard about pump and dump groups where the owner tell his members that this coin would pump and while the brain-washed shills buy it the owner sells. Its similar here.

Firstly how do you confirm that "bad" projects are not longer here? A project can turn "bad" anytime depending on finances, development and management. What is doing great today may not be good tomorrow, such is this market.

Secondly, the fact that 99% or even 100% of the crypto-funded projects have failed to deliver even the minimum viable product should be enough of a slowdown to the market. If you look at the stock and IPO markets, they are doing well but crypto is not even close to that. To an extent blockchain hype is still on, there is no stopping that but crypto hype is down.

Expecting payment for work is normal. But these are not jobs. They are side earnings for the enthusiast who wants a certain new token to go up in price. That was there the concept of bounty came into existence and people have ever stretched it.

So whats the point in going after them? Your time is precious and you should not waste it. Going for these bounties means like going on a witch hunt. Since 99% of the projects here are going to be worthless you are essentially wasting time doing bounties while you could do something more fruitful. Develop some skills in the mean time and try to get a proper job.

What degree do you hold to be able to answer any question asked? Because people would need perfect answers and not made up bullshit.

Yeah for your information, they are paid artists, paid by the casino to promote them. They may decide to gamble but the stunts they pull off are completely paid. It is done in order to incite the hidden gambler in many risk taking personalities out there and make they register at the casino so that the usual traffic to the site keeps going up. In short, it is a marketing method and a public stunt.

This is simple to understand because a pro-gambler in an EV- game would not be running with profits for long before they bust. EV+ games are often skill based and they make some profit and then retire and the casino hires them as their promoters.

It is not. MEW is good for those who take their security seriously and know how to stop getting scammed by phishing websites. Use a hardware wallet for ether tokens if you must since that is the safest option here. However the system of using a wallet by MEW has changed now since they are was tussle between their devs and they switched paths, as far I recall.

So here you might want to decide one some things:
1. Is the airdrop really worth the time you are putting in to it? Considering it is,
2. MetaMask saves you from getting phished by clone MEW websites and itself has not been known to trick any user. So its more or less safe.

You are posting your own article for getting traffic? Not that its not something to be done, but its a blog after all and they are personal opinion instead of specific opinions. Whether one finds Coinbase exchange useful for their needs or Kraken ultimately boils down to whether they are getting their own needs fulfilled efficiently and in a timely manner.

There is no such thing as "best", only good for specific people. What would work out for someone may not be good for another. Its good try different exchanges and see which one is best for you.

The OP's view is completely wrong.

A person who has a lot of money need not gamble at all. They may consider gambling as a sin and abhor the practice altogether. This is pretty normal because only a person who has self-discipline will be able to make a lot of money. A gambler rarely because rich because a real gambler will always waste money while a person whom you see as Pro-gambler is actually a con acting to be a gamble but is actually paid by the casino.

Secondly playing does not necessarily mean you would win money. It could be a loss so why even think about gambling to increase money?

Which is one of the good things about bitcoin. Its usage is easy and it does not need the hassle of opening a bank account to receive a transaction.

There are problems in every field and bitcoin is no exception to it. But many of the problems like scams can be prevented if you are aware of how scams occur and know how to keep your money safe. Thats also true for a any fiat storage system.

MLM and ponzi scams that happen are often misleading people in thinking bitcoin is behind it. Thats wrong, because scammers use bitcoin as the mode of payment, not by using bitcoin are they scamming. The methods of MLM scams are also seen in fiat. One who is diligent enough there will be able to protect from scam with bitcoin as well.

You should aim to earn. Not collect.

Earning is one thing which is having a moral value behind it. Collecting on the other hand point to more ruthless scavenging of an article. The terms may be used interchangeably but there is a slight difference. All of us should focus on buying bitcoin during the sideways market for the upcoming bullrun. Keep it in stock for selling later on but dont waste it on gambling or altcoins.

The bounty golden days are over. Its time you all started looking for other ways to make money like skill development for a new job, or just join a bitcoin paying campaign. But for that one would have to start making quality posts.

Bullshit. All ICOs/IEOs are scams. Accept that and move on in life. If you think that bounty tokens would have sky rocketed because bitcoin did then you are mistaken. They have no value of their own that you generate their own market but bitcoin has which is why its price will keep going up and altcoins will try to follow but never come close.

Is this concept is not yet in your heads then you are literally wasting time on this forum.

Only a listed top altcoin can be accepted as valid collateral depending on the lender's discretion. Since you dont have any prior trading feedback or trust rating for some legitimate trade done, your chance of getting a non-collateral loan here would be near zero.

Suggest you to visit your local bank and pawn something valuable to get a loan or ask a close relative or friend if you are in dire need of money.

I have never considered losing money as fun but earning money is obviously fun. Gambling is a mix of both but people should keep a fine line between having fun and going broke. This is difficult for a person with the mindset of getting rich by gambling because they will evidently lose money by gambling. Some people play sports betting which can be fun if you betting on your favorite games and its more of a personal thing.

The reason why you see people post this in this section is they have to make up their quota for the gambling signature campaigns. Dont take all of them seriously but report posts that you think are offtopic.

First you would have to decide whether to keep using deribit or move to another site. If KYC haunts you then this might seen a good option to now. Now also note that the legitimacy of the site is also not guaranteed, you have to decide on that.

Again today they are saying that they would never go for KYC, but tomorrow or after a few years when people have forgotten about past events they will suddenly impose KYC and force users. Nobody will remember the news or even if they do and call scam, the owners will be least bothered since they have already grown a userbase and are not forcing KYC. It will be like a "Take it or leave it" scenario - know what I mean?

In short, just like you as a user are haunted by KYC, these exchanges are haunted by authorities who attempt to monitor them. Hence one fine day they have to crack down to their extortion and give out the KYC info to the authorities. Its the sad reality.

Honestly if these translators would do a real life work they would get paid in good amounts. Translating and Interpreter jobs are well sought after. If you have the ability to know more than 3 languages and be fluent in speaking and writing them you would not be coming to a forum to hunt for shit-tokens, rather you would be working as inter-country interpreters and similar jobs which have a good payment. Not all the translators here are bad though, but many are not scrutinized enough.

Timing is not important here. The ICO craze is done for and so it the Bounty craze. Stop wasting time on bounties and look for other methods of income.
