What else can happen with alt when it gets abandoned by developers or supporters, or both, for any reason? It will become dead and worthless! I don't think all of them are initially created to be scams, simply they didn't have what it takes to develop the idea. There can be many reasons for an idea to fail along the way, not enough knowledge in the team, lack of support and money... for whatever reason, even if it's some small one they fail. Scams are scams, those projects don't last to long, they serve the purpose once they cheat enough people.

I thought we will play today, but next Sunday will be OK too. I don't have account on SwC, at least I think I don't have, maybe I played there years ago but I can't remember, I will have to check that. Count me in for the next week, good rules by the way, I like when blind levels are +10 minutes.

Edit: SwC username Iv4n, see you there in Sunday!

Nothing interesting in this article! Except that Tone Vays stands by his prediction, there are no other arguments about why he believes that Bitcoin can drop to 4k. It would be a huge drop, for more than 50%, and just before the halving when we expect hype? To me this drop sounds impossible, I think price will drop but to 8k, or around that. Only thing that is good in this article is one sentence:
"Tone Vays responded that there were still two months to go and that “anything can happen.”
We all know that anything can happen in crypto market and that anything can happen in short period of time. For me dropping under 8k is almost impossible, very low chances that to happen, but in the end who knows, we will who is right in next couple months.

He already has a plan, to start trading with some part of his saving. In trading timing is everything, I would suggest to OP to start with some small amount and to try to sell at top, or at least close to top, and of course to buy when price is at bottom, or at least close to it.
Of course nobody can't predict top and bottom, that's why you have more than one sell order, and of course more than one buy order. You check from time to time your orders, if they are executed you make new ones. We never know will price change direction, we don't know where is heading, so I suggest newbies to always have some dollars and bitcoins on a side, if price surprise you and do something unexpected you need to have some bitcoins to sell, or dollars to buy, depending where price went.

There are some good platforms that reward people for using them, steemit, publishx0, some tries on tron network, but I think we are still waiting for some big blockchain social network. People spend time online and people would like to get paid for their time. We already have nice browsers that pays for using them, just for surfing the internet, browsers that pays you to watch ads, and soon we will have social network in the same manner, when that appears people will forget facebook.

And what if whales make a group? You will not be able to win against them.
I think that this game will be without gambling excitement! You place a bet and you wait 24h to see what will happen, in the meantime others will place their bets, higher than yours and if you don't have enough money to place new bet you will just lose the first bet, where is an excitement in that?
Your concept should start from 1 sat. Who would risk 0.1 btc or higher at some auction? You can have great gambling night with that amount, playing slots and all other games you wish, and with nice bets!

And when it drops for the same difference people are crying that we are going to zero! Yes, it can be said like that, again the same thing, over and over again/. Significant rise will happen one day, but not before the halving, so this is just a regular price volatility in my opinion. I'm not sure that we are heading to 15k, in my humble opinion price will go under 10k again in some short period of time, I have my sell orders ready at this price and up to 11k, in my opinion that's the highest price mark we will see in this rise.

He don't get any money for that lunch, all that money goes to charity, it's called Warren Buffett charity lunch.
" For the 20th year in a row, Buffett is auctioning off a lunch for the highest bidder to support one of his favorite charities, San Francisco’s Glide Foundation"
It's not money for him, as he gives all that amount to a charity. When he doesn't keep money we can't say that he earned them in some easy way. That money doesn't go to Warren Bank account, don't you think that if this money doesn't go to his bank account we can't say that he earned that money!

If something is destroying you, you should leave it. This is not just about gambling, it's about our lives. Gambling, like everything else, has its pros and cons, if you are not careful you can lose all the money you have! If you are reckless you will borrow money for gambling and that will lead you into bigger problems.
Without risk, you can't win in gambling! You should know how much you can risk losing in the first place before you start with gambling. When I gamble I know how much I can lose, I can go a little over that amount but I never risk all I have, keep control over your funds and emotions and gambling will be a positive experience for you.

It's not easy money for Warren, he gives money from that launch to some charities, as far as I know. I think that Justin Sun is just paying for promotion, this is the thing he is doing from the start. He is going around, meets with celebrities, promoting his project, and so on.
Warren is an old man, but not only that he survived, he made his fortune in the most turbulent times. His investment skills shouldn't be questioned. I don't believe that he will join crypto, but his companies maybe will some day, who knows. For sure, he has enough money to create his own, but maybe Justin came with some good offer, future will tell! 

It all comes down to trust in chosen alts. We can't generalize this, not all alts are the same, not all of them have the same potential. For sure, it would be good to dump some alts now, but some alts worth keeping I believe. We can't give some advices here about keeping or dumping some alts if we don't know about which alt's OP thinks about.
Trust in your investment is essential for long term holding. It's crazy to invest in some alt and change mind whenever price drops or don't move for some time. If you chose to trust some alt with your money, be with that alt in good and bad times.

Only one thing, zero balance without money for re-buy, to be completely broke! But I hope that will never happen to me! Only some big, terrible tragedy can ruin me financially, other than that I fell myself pretty safe, I don't spend too much, I know my limits, I have regular income and some saving, so for now I am fine, I don't plan to stop gamble!

Its psychological aspect, real money means real emotions. There are many articles about it, I found one interesting one that explains very good what I wish to say:
3 Psychological Differences between Demo and Live Trading - https://www.babypips.com/trading/demo-live-forex-20181031.
When you risk real money you know what's on stake, you know that good moves makes your profit bad moves hurts you, and that's a school, you need to learn what is good and what is bad for you if you wish to survive in long run. Article explains that, I figure that out by myself years ago. It good for reading, especially for people who think to try demo or real for the first time.

I can't resist sharing this with you:

I never understood people who like to use demo versions, especially people who trade or gamble with a demo version! Why would anyone do that? I think it's exactly like in this gif, it's what demo is, you are doing something but actually you are not doing anything! Better spend couple dollars and get the feeling of the real deal than to fool around.

I am in, both dates are fine for me. I didn't find anything about will there be a late registration or not? Maybe I will be late a bit, who knows, I have kids, they can be a problem sometimes
My username is same here and there. I will need to add some more money, I deposited some money and I lost all on slots, I didn't know they have so big collection of slots

Bottom line is that banks and governments can't stop people from using bitcoins! Some tried to that, some are still trying, we read about that in news, but actually they are not doing anything significant.
In this way banks decided to take earn something from people who wish to buy trough them. Blockchain is making a revolution in the global economy. DAO (decentralized autonomous organization), DeFi (decentralized finance) are just some new things that blockchain is bringing on the table, it will be interesting to see what will banks do and how will they adapt on this. In one thing I am sure, not all of them will be able to adapt.

Good timing, I would say. 10 months ago is somewhere around March or April, depends on calculation. In this case it's the same, last year prices had their peak in Jun/July, who bought before and sell in that time (it's the time when most prices had their top btc over 12k, eth over 300, I don't remember all of them) made a nice profit.
You didn't need any special strategy to make profit in this way. In January last year btc price was under 4k, so if you bought bitcoin in period from January to May last year you have your money doubled, in some moments even tripled, if you hit a good moment for selling.

Process is the games you choose to play, and by some logic you need to like the games you chose to play. When you like the games you play, process will be more interesting! Outcome in gambling is pretty obvious, you can earn money or you can lose money, at least in my case it's like that I lose everything or I won a lot, rarely I am even after gambling session.
To me process is more important that outcome, but we all know that positive outcome will affect us positively!
