trading requires a lot of skills, and it doesn't matter what you are trading. if you think you can just make a profit out of sheer luck then you are mistaken because trading is not a gamble.

can anyone give a quick explanation or a link to help me understand what exactly is QC and QC resistant address that i keep hearing about this subject?

you are describing two terrible things combined together. lending bitcoin and cloudmining! both of these are bad investments with total bad return.
lending is bad as long as you don't hold valid collateral, and cloud mining is famously bad because of all the scams and the bad ROI

i think you should have some kind of certainty about bitcoin yourself before introducing it to anybody else around you.
because if you don't know what bitcoin really is and if you are confused, you will only confuse others too if you talk about bitcoin to them.

$100 change is not 10% when changing between 400 and 500 it is 20-25% depending on what is the starting price. but the percent or the price doesn't matter changing this big means a massive volume movement that is not going to happen it need a massive dump or pump to change $100

you should check the provably fair system on the site and check your bets to see if it is fair or not. but you should also remember something very important. you are gambling so there is always a chance of losing even in a fair system so deposit what you can afford to lose.

you can only get rich from gambling if you are the house, it means of you are running a gambling site like a casino or even a dice site you can become rich from the people who are losing in your game everyday. but that is not even guaranteed because someone may come along and get lucky and win big.

nice categorizing. i agree with it but with a minor change i think anything that can be categorized as gambling is not safe so you can never say it has lower risk because even in a skill based game that you are playing against an opponent they can get lucky and you lose that game.

actually OP is looking for a way of gambling and not losing money, and that has already been established in these 115 pages before this that such method doesn't exist in gambling. you can change things around, use weird strategies but in the end you can never be sure of not losing money!

nothing except hype, and hype can only change the price in a very small amount comparing with the past. and the direction of this change only depends on which way the hype is aiming, if it is a positive hype it can increase the price and if it is negative it can push the price down a little.

but it would be a small change because the market is so much bigger than before and it is not being affected by these hypes that much.

it is only big because it is the second time that it is happening, after a couple more halvings it will become normal and people won't hype it this much. halving is just a way of moving forward with the bitcoin ecosystem. the price rise and all that supply demand talk is just speculation.

yeah, of course there are many people interested in giving loans and taking loans to do all sorts of things and one of them is trading. you can do that in the lending section of the forum (lend or borrow) as long as you can provide a valid collateral.
also there are some exchangers like bitfinex and poloniex that has the loan section.

i have been hearing the same sentence for the past couple of months the only change is the range. and over all if you look at the history charts of bitcoin price, you can see that the price has been rising then stable then again rising.

your mobile phone can easily be stolen, because it is something that you are carrying around with yourself. and if you want to keep it at home and use it as storage then again there are better method, why use a phone instead.
besides as long as it can connect to internet your coins are in danger. in fact IMO anything that is not cold storage is at risk.

what? really?
maybe it is like this where you live. but here when you put your money in a bank as a deposit they should protect it on their own. so it doesn't matter what happens if the bank is robbed or burned to the ground they still have to pay you back.

trading bitcoin and altcoins is the best way of earning money with bitcoin. but it is not easy so anybody who wants to start doing it, should first try and learn how the trading works and find the best time and price to buy so that they can earn the maximum profit.

you should first clarify what you mean by "best", best for doing what?
if you are looking for a popular crypto that you can use everywhere to shop,... and has a good buy support and stable price (no pump and dump) then bitcoin is the answer.

if you are looking for something else other than bitcoin for pump and dump purpose and profiting then other alts like ethereum, litecoin, dash, maid,... can be best in a short period of time before they die again.

if you don't have any skills the only thing you can do to earn money is meaningless jobs that will pay you very small amounts such as working the faucets or doing the captcha works. but also there are some other jobs like microjobs, signups and surveys that may pay a little more.

why not use bitcoin core prune mode. since OP is already using bitcoin core i think it is better to just switch to prune mode of core instead of anything else, especially a web wallet like blockchain.info

whoever said this is an idiot who is either filthy rich or a bum. we all need money for doing anything in our lives. you can not survive without it and everybody wants to get rich, there is no exception here. if you offer people a lot of money nobody will refuse it.
