No, because it's own by the same company, their only difference is the current popular one is a centralized exchange and Binance DEX is a decentralized exchange. According to the CEO of Binance, he once said IIRC that decentralized exchange is the future of exchange, so if Binance DEX will overtake Binance in terms of popularity, then it will still give benefits to the owner of the exchange which I said the same company.

Whales also make a mistake, so obviously they get burn also.
They are traders although they have a big amount of capital but they aren't perfect that they will make good decision all the time.

The fact that the market is so unpredictable, there is no way a person even a whale will make easy money.
As whales, they have the power to move this market due to their big holdings, but it's not guaranteed that if they move, they could benefit in the end.

Agree with this, and I think a lot of investors are agreeing that below that range is a gift because at $10,000 bitcoin is so stable.
I've seen some dump lately below $10,000 but we are back again, we almost hit $11,000 this month but we failed to break the resistance but good thing is that we are still at $10,00 now.

Back then when BTC was still at sub $3K, $10K was already an impossible dream for some people, but here we are now, if we cannot make a new ATH this year, we should be happy with the progress of BTC in terms of recovery.

For me, it doesn't matter when it's coming as long as I earn money from gambling, which until now I don't have the success in doing it yet.
Earning money in gambling is hard because most of us are losers, that's why some are just discouraging us that gambling is a dirty money so we will not play anymore.

The operators in gambling will always be a winner in the end and they are into a profitable industry, so if you will ask them if they are earning dirty money, they won't mind it because it's still the same money with the same value, as long as we are safe in what we are doing, lets just enjoy the money we earn, whether it's coming from gambling or other unusual method of earning money.

Halving will happen next year, 248 days from now to be exact, we can also check the countdown here https://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/.
If people believe that halving will help bitcoin's price to increase, we should expected a bull run next year if it will not happen in the last quarter of this year.

Just be patient, I know people wants to see a bull run as it's a good chance for them to see altcoins rise in value as well, but we cannot dictate the market, we just don't have the power to move it, let the whales do what they usually do, and when most of them unite in moving the price, then we might see a bul run and a FOMO created.

Be patient or be smart? If we are holding a shit coins and we know it's already a scam, patient would not anymore help because most likely the coins will not rise anymore as it will be dead in the long run.

If we make mistakes choosing a wrong investment, what we need to do is just from our mistakes and movement.
Hence, it's necessary to know how to diversify our funds so if we make mistake we still have other investment that we can rely and expect it will make us profitable, we should not go all in in one project only especially if we lack knowledge and experience.

Completely agree, gambling cannot be a dirty money if it's accepted in your country.
I know there are religion who prohibits their followers from gambling, maybe we will also consider that but then everyone has different judgement on gambling, if it's based on the definition by law, gambling should be considered illegal first to consider what we earn is a dirty money.

There are countries which ban gambling, especially from muslim countries as it's against in their religion, but in some countries where christians, and other religions are dominant in numbers, gambling is accepted I think.

Banning bitcoin worldwide is possible if the government unite in that decision.

They are the government, they have the rights to regulate and even ban bitcoin, however, banning does not mean it will stop the system, bitcoin will still remain and there will still be a lot of transactions in the market since no one can stop the miners from doing their thing, therefore, the government should see this, they can ban bitcoin but they cannot stop it.

What necessary in trading is the high liquidity and the volatility, with that, I suggest trading only in bitcoin as this one is safer and easy to predict compared to the altcoins market. Bitcoin is already a high risk asset but altcoins are higher since bitcoin is dictating the market now with a dominant rate of 70%.

However, in the long run, you could adjust your strategy as there are a lot of coins in the market that you might be interested trading with.
Sometimes altcoins are profitable but most of the time, it's bitcoin since it's the most stable coin in the market.

If the project is a scam, all they offer are all deceiving, but in general, bonuses are offered to attract more investors, it should not be viewed as a deceiving offer, if you don't like what they offer to you, just simply disregard them and look for other projects to invest.

With a big and growing competition in the market, it's expected that projects will be more aggressive in giving good offers just to attract investors, it might look desperate but that's their strategy and there are still some people who believes in them and seeds the bonus as an opportunity.

BNB's high this year is usd 38.90 according to https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binance-coin/.
$40 is very conservative while $50 is very reachable this year, BNB sats value does not need to move and we will see a new ATH this year when BTC will reach at least $15,000 this year which is also doable since we've reached $13,000 already.

Just one big run or big pump and we shall see BNB to be hype again,when it break its current high, it will continue to rise and might reach over $50.
But then again, there are just all predictions, it could be the opposite that we might witness but we aren't hoping for that.

Thanks for introducing me to this new sportsbook, I was surprise they still have the line to which team will win in the FIBA.
According to the line shown in https://www.sportsbook.ag/sbk/sportsbook4/fiba-2019-betting/odds-to-win.sbk, It's still the USA who is the favorite to win the competition.

I screenshot the odds for you guys,



Anyone here have the balls of taking the Czech Republic for x101?

Really up to the investors but smart investors who like to play safe all the time and would always choose bitcoin because of how people trust it over altcoins. It's not safe to put our money in altcoins when bitcoin dominance is still 70%, it will make them panic easily since altcoins is more volatile with that rate and the trend is not attractive at all if we look the one year trend of altcoins.

Expect that the market will improve and mature in the future, obviously, what we are seeing now is more on hype because even those projects that I believe are good but are not hype in the market might fail if the current standards of the market now will be followed.

I think we have to judge it based on how investors sees it, at this stage of the market, a lot of investors who are not matured yet, most of them think of instant return than the potential of the project in the future, that's why the market moves on how they react and that is why whales can easily play their game.

That's a safe choice with the way the crowd funding is being done now, especially BNB where they have more success in terms of IEO compared to other exchange but it's good to grab Huobitoken as well since it's not as expensive as BNB yet.

If these 2 exchanges will compete, one might go down and the other might go up, and their value will be affected.
Good thing with Huobitoken is that it's currently cheap and if it will have more success than Binance, we can expect that Huobitoken will value at 20 usd too.

Also, I believe sportsbet market more on their sportsbetting platform as they carry that brand which is obvious by the name itself.
If they see this necessary, they will add this feature, but most of the sportsbook I played with has no feature like this, so I'm not expecting they will add it soon.

Sometimes things like that happen due to the change of market situation, normally, most of the investors are starting to invest when the market is good because they believe that the progress will continue and they'll be able to have their ROI in short term period, but that expectation is only brought by lack of knowledge in the market because if they will study the history of the market, they will know that there are some big ups and downs in that happens in times when people aren't expecting it, that is why this market is labeled as an unpredictable market, hence the risk is high.

Which new ICOs you are talking about? I like to know because it seems like no matter what they do, it's still hard for them to sell their tokens.
The new trend now is IEO, maybe you are referring to this one, am I right?

When it comes to judging the project, it's on the eye of the investors, not because the project did rise its value, it's already considered a good project, that's a bad judgement because we also need to be aware about the hype in the market, what's important here is the long term effect and the continues growth and not the pump and dump scheme only.

It's too ambitious to think that gambling could be a source of income, a lot of us gamblers wants to experience this but most of us does not have the skills to earn money in gambling consistently.

Compared to trading, I think we have more chance to make money in trading because gambling is not really built for us to make money, but it was built for us to enjoy why we are spending money for operators to be profitable, that's how simple it is, we don't need to think complicated about this thing.

Winning in lottery is a life changing event, for sure a gambler would forget all his loses because we are talking of million or millions here.
However, let's be realistic, we know the chance of winning in lottery is very slim which is close to nothing, but we still hope we can win one day.

When a gambler continues to spend for lottery ticket, I don't think it would hurt his pocket a lot because the amount that is spend is just a small amount, unless he is crazy to spend for many tickets thinking it will improve his chances of winning.
