In the end it's all investors' fault, because no one was forced to sell bitcoins and help the whales to dump the market, nevertheless investors did it for fear of loss or just because they wanted to follow the big investors and influencers' steps. Unfortunatelly few investors who think outside the box aren't enough to stop the crash that is caused by investors who move the biggest chunks of money in crypto market and their sheep.
All we can do is to hold and wait until the market starts recovering again. I would like bitcoin didn't need these big investors to be able to rise, but that is just impossible.

Now I ask myself if he is really serious about space exploration or if it's just another joke or bluff to increase the attention received and value of his company and his own fortune. What he did to bitcoin wasn't an act of someone who claims to be a visionary who thinks on the future. There is no problem in not endorsing bitcoin like many people do, but what Musk did was treachery. He surfed in bitcoin and crypto's wave for a long time, endorsed it in all possible means, adopting bitcoin in the end. And only after this he reached to the conclusion bitcoin was bad.

In my opinion Elon Musk proved to be a dangerous person and I would avoid him maximum as possible.

80% bitcoin and 20% ethereum looks a good customization for me. The problem with crypto investors is that they want 500% over their initial investments nowadays, so they don't want to invest in bitcoin anymore (or even ethereum) and put all their money in altcoins hoping to get rich overnight.
The problem with this strategy is the huge risk, similar to investing in a ponzi scheme. If the potential returns are too impressive to be made in a short time period, the risk of losing all this money is high as well. That is why I prefer a currency like bitcoin, which gains value slower compared to its pairs, but that keeps its value after reaching higher levels.

Ethereum is also an interesting option, that is why I would reserve 20% of the portfolio for it. But must be careful with another altcoins.

I remember when bitcoin crashed from 19,000$ to 3000$ and many investors were fearful about crypto currency's future and regretful about their own choices. And now look where bitcoin is. With all the corrections and difficulties presented at this currently moment, it's still doing much better than its ATH years ago.
If you are a long run investor and picked solid crypto currencies to invest you shouldn't worry, because the market will recover sooner or later and it will affect your investments positively. During a correction or a crash it's better to forget your coins for a while in a safe place, otherwise you might become crazy by following all these short run fluctuations.

Yes friend, I know about it. But my doubt is what strategy to use instead of martingale?

Because I see everyone blaming martingale, but no one indicates a better method to be used.

Why nonsense? Martingale really doesn't guarantee profitability (winnings) on long run, but it can help you making profit for a while. If you are lucky and know when to stop, it's possible to make some profit thanks to this strategy. Martingale looks bad, but playing without martingale can be worse. Or maybe is there a better method to play I am not familiar with?

Bitcoin pretty unstable right now, fighting bravely to stay in 40,000$ level, but the market keeps pushing it down to 36,000$. It looks like bitcoin is going to hit 33,000$ support level again soon. Now it's time to keep watching the fluctuations so we can reach to a conclusion if bitcoin is going to stabilize, rise again or enter into a deep bear disgusting season. So far it's not possible to say what is going to happen yet.
Institutional investors card revealed to be a big trojan horse and I don't expect to count with this to see bitcoin pumping again. A different positive and innovative event is needed to boost bitcoin's price.

It's unlikely, so far I have no reasons to doubt bitcoin's legitimacy. But even if you are right, we can do nothing about it. It's not possible to have sure if we are being manipulated, or if bitcoin's creator is member of a centralized organization, so it's a pointless discussion that will lead to paranoia only. The most important here is that you are satisfied with bitcoin fulfilling your objectives and needs daily.
Moreover governments are too busy thinking about their own centralized crypto currencies and businessmen too worried about creating or promoting their own shitcoins. They don't act like they were involved with bitcoin somehow.

Just imagine if it's actually Elon Musk who is behind this new currency profiting from his own haters. That would be the real meme coin without any doubts.

If investors want to teach a lesson to Musk, the best they can do is to buy bitcoins right now and forget about shitcoins.

Yes, many people rely on their governments to guarantee their basic needs nowadays because they are very poor and/or because they are unable to manage their finances correctly in a sustainable way on long run. But it doesn't happen only with gamblers. I see many people who have more children they can afford to sustain, alcohol and drugs addicted, all of them taking money from the government.
So it's actually not an issue caused by gambling, instead it's caused solely by human irresponsibility. Anyway it's really an absurd situation because who is giving free money to these people isn't actually the government, but the other citizens who sustain the government.

I agree. I really don't care if Tesla accepts doge or bitcoin anymore. People and companies which are constantly changing their opinions aren't trustworthy, so personally I think it's better to stay away. Tesla and its owner have already done too much damage to crypto market that I think it's a big mistake to put them and any crypto currency on the same phrase.

I think it's not possible to deny this dump was mainly caused by Elon Musk, because it's a fact right after he tweeted Tesla was going to stop accepting bitcoin as payment method and that bitcoin is harmful to the environment, bitcoin price started crashing. Of course he wasn't responsible for the entire crash, but it was him who started the fire.
After seeing such news, speculators sold btcs as well, to take the opportunity for extra profit, but already thinking about buying the dip, like always. But it's important to emphasise the cause which triggered the crash was Elon's tweet.

Furthermore anti-gambling campaigns turn the common opinion of the society against gamblers. People start seeing them in a wrong way, as all gamblers were sick, irresponsible, mentally ill or unstable, because that is the portrait of gamblers exhibited in propagandas, movies, soap operas, news... When we see negative representations of gamblers' behavior on those campaigns, we never see an attached disclosure message pointing out that only a small percentage of total gamblers are actually problem gamblers. They represent the situation luring the public to believe every gamblers are addicted and impulsive individuals.

So it's accurate to suppose gamblers feel offended by such campaigns.

In my country there are cases of people who got the two doses of the vaccine and still died due to coronavirus. So I wouldn't go back to normal life as the threat were finished just because there is a vaccine. I would especially avoid visiting closed places like land based casinos, full of unknown people entering and exiting all day long. The authorities must be really testing the effectiveness of the vaccines since they removed the previous restrictions, that were a lot more severe. But I think they are risking too much.

On the other hand, probably there was a lot of pressure from casinos to reopen, because many employees were fired out and others weren't being paid due to the lockdown. So these people are desperate to start working again as their families depend on it.

Elon Musk will keep bluffing from now on pretending to be the main catalyst of crypto universe in hope whales follow his unstable thoughts daily. It can't last too long, because sooner or later people will get tired of his nonsense. Investors must be already aware a guy like Elon is dangerous for their own crypto investments, as he just worries about himself and won't think twice before sacrificing someone's else investments if he can take an advantage of it, even if it's needed to subvert the facts to achieve what he wants, like he did using the bitcoin mining excuse to dump the market.

Self-pity, victimization or blaming the casino and gambling don't solve any problems. There is no easy solutions, but potential solutions are only going to get harder if the gambler get focused on the pain. Money comes and go all the time and nobody should get too attached to it. It's different than losing a beloved person: the amount you lose today, you can recover tomorrow or even more since you set your mindset on this direction.
Good and positive thoughts attract energies of the same kind which help us solving our problems in different areas of our lives, that is what I believe.

Maybe Morocco friendly stance towards gambling is due to the french influence in the 50's, when the country was under the european country's control and had the first casino opened in their territory. Another muslim countries didn't absorb the foreigner influences in the same way, and prefered to fully stick with their local culture and traditions.
Anyway it's interesting how a country with 90% of its population belonging to muslim religion operates casinos. Probably they focus on tourists to make the industry profitable there. I believe in the future UAE will go through the same way, because these countries need income to survive and oil isn't going to be profitable forever.

Yes, there are so many sports involving fight: boxing, wrestling, mixed martial arts (mma), slapping, judo, muay thai and so many other regional sports categories... All these sports schools are conducted by experienced tutors and master who teach their apprentices to respect the adversaries in every situations and to not use their fighting skills outside the tournaments and matches for trivial issues.
There are some problem sportsmen who don't take these rules and guidelines seriously, but they are the minority and suffer the consequences in sports industry for their bad behavior. So definitelly they aren't going to get mad on each other, because they will have their careers prejudiced later for doing so.

Indeed. But this gambler, as any other who also has lost big, have no other option than recovering the gone money through healthy methods like working and investing. For a first world country's citizen like him I think it must not be so hard to earn 20,000 euros in a year or so. I just hope he has learned an important lesson with this loss and that he overcome his addiction with the help of his family members who already know about the situation.

Diamond hands dumping DOGE -30% today and -26% on the last week, plus the whole crypto market bleeding intensively.

It looks more like dirty coal hands for me.

If he were so influent like he says I think the situation would be different. Especially because Musk announced his cooperation with Doge developers team to make improvements on the currency. As we can see this news didn't help Dogecoin in anyways.
