I think there are times it declines and there are times it increases so it is still important to ask why it declined even if it went up. I mean when it was declining we were all speculating and when it went up we are like "well it is not declining, it went up", of course it did but why did it went down in the first place.

You all do realize that when bitcoin is bought and went up if the people who sold all their coins and dropped the price didn't do that we would have been higher right now? I mean when it was 13k and people sold the price went down and it rarely ever went back there, if people didn't sold at that time all these buys since that time would have put on top of it and we would have been over 20k right now. It is a sad reality that sellers are causing us all these problems.

There are people who do it on games of skill and not games of luck. I have personally met with someone who was a professional poker player and he has been making his money from poker for about 6 years now.

He first started with pokerstars where he knew how to play poker a bit and played there but he was still a novice and didn't really play good enough to make a living. Then he kept on losing money gambling all day everyday to get better because it was 1 cent 2 cent bids and that was basically nothing, he lost maybe 50 bucks a day at his worst days but usually came close to break even most of the time, it took him maybe a thousand dollars at most for a year and eventually he started to get better by reading and talking and studying the game.

Now, he is not making huge amounts of money from regular games, he just attends tournaments and even though he doesn't win most of them, one or two big tourney wins is enough to live for a whole year since rewards are huge.

How the hell do you turn 240 into 9889, I mean obviously by gambling but really 240 ripple is about 70 dollars and of course there are people who gamble with thousands of dollars so I am not shocked that someone gambled away 70 bucks, that is common and its not really the news here. However how do you really throw away your 70 bucks on something that has such a low amount of chance to win?

I know he won and that is amazing but there was a HUGE chance he would lose all of it as well, it just didn't happen out of luck but 70 bucks on such a low odds is basically "here take my money casino" in any other circumstance. He has the balls of steel and I applaud him for it, not something many people can accomplish, not just the win but also the braveness to throw that money like that.

Game-protect lives on these kinds of topics, he loves it when someone loses money, think about it who profits from getting you to lose and who profits from scamming you?

If a casino was a scammer and they scammed you then they will be known as a scamming website and they will not get any more customers and whatever they have made from you will be the last money they made, so they will basically lose their job and even though they have a lot of money that is just tip of the iceberg for a real good casino, without scamming anyone you can keep printing money forever so they literally have no interest in scamming you because they want to be known as a good place in order to keep making ton of money in legit ways.

However, game-protect wants it to be scam, he wants you to lose all your money, if all casinos are legit and good then we need no game-protect, hence he wishes you to be scammed, he wants you to be scammed, he is happy when you are scammed, do your own calculations based on that.

Definitely telegram, first of all the good part about telegram is that many people who are in crypto uses telegram because it doesn't require you to give your phone number to anyone. So, that leaves whatsapp aside, you can't use whatsapp since it requires you to give your phone number.

Now that leaves discord and slack left, well slack is more for startups and business' mindset so people do not use that neither that is aside. That leaves discord and that is purely for gaming, other stuff are talked there as well but its known for its gaming platform. Hence, telegram is the best place for bitcoin and crypto related stuff.

Plus, I do not have a telegram "gambling buddies chat" group or something but we can find crypto related groups there all the time and there will be people who like to gamble there as well where you become friends.

Haven’t you heard of Binance, if you have not, then you have been missing and wasting money for too long, why is that exchange so greedy to have been charging 0.5%, when many people are even complaining of that 0.25% as being too over charged.

In Binance, there fees goes for as low as 0.1%, so if you really want some savings and you just don’t want to be making money for some dudes just because they own a platform, you have to move to Binance, they have very smooth platform and they are very user friendly, their customer support is very great and they still have a good security, but would advise you not to store your coin on their exchange or any exchange wallet because they are not fully saved, at least you can hear what happened to Binance of recent when they were hacked.

Technical analysis is not a bullshit and it is very effective for those that knows how to learn it, the reason why some people feel technical Analyses is bullshit is because it is too complicated to understand, so you end up not being able to read the charts very well, except that you are a pro chart reader, so TA is okay, but it does not always work in every market.

I feel that it is very difficult to apply technical Analyses to the cryptocurrency market, I prefer to apply technical analysis when I am trading on Forex market because Forex market is quite stable for TA to perform very well, and if you look at cryptocurrency market, there are too many coins and it even only functions more for those top coins, for me, I would not rely on TA alone but mix it with fundamental analysis which I prefer more.

You have to fully understand that cryptocurrency market is too volatile and this is why trading through it is quite difficult, but as volatile as it may look, that is exactly what makes it more profitable than other trading market, and if you are to trade in this crypto market, you have to first ensure that you have the patience and then also keep greed at home, or else, no matter the skill or strategy you have, impatience and greed will knock them off. And like you said, trading is so fragile, and you have to just handle it like an egg.

Handling trading is to ensure that all the necessary risk tools that is needed to properly manage the risk is activated for your trade to eliminate any form of risk that may be present in the market while trading. I checked through your rules and they are still quite fair to me, I think you just need to work on more strategies.

I can’t blame him for this decision, the only mistake was to put the money into gambling. Majority of us didn’t envisage bitcoin would bounce back so soon, when it went down to 4k I was particularly very discouraged. Even though I trusted bitcoin so well and knew it was just a phase and would definitely go up but the need to get money would not allow patience prevail. I also withdrew mine for other business that wasn’t so much profitable but I still have regrets and just see what bitcoin is now.

What I have seen with bitcoin is, it requires a lot of patience.  I don’t think Bitcoin is for everyone, those who do not have the understanding will keep on making mistakes like the OP and me.

Litecoin use to be a very good investment, but ever since they lost their value to the last bear market that all cryptocurrencies list their value to, it has been difficult for them to make a comeback like some few other coins too and I think Litecoin and some few top coins are only where they are now because of the dominance of bitcoin, I am waiting for the period where all these altcoins will make a dominance of their own without having to rely much in bitcoin for their growth of value.

That makes me think that at the moment, there is no pint wasting time trading altcoins, to me, it is still better for people to trade bitcoin because that is where all the happenings are really, the volume, trades and other things that will make one profitable in one’s trade.

I dint think so, It is just based on assumption that we think KYC is decreasing the number of users day by day, who caress about KYC from a system that is given one money, is just like me looking for a job now and they ask for KYC, do you think I would reject it, no I won’t do that, I will only ensure that the job is a genuine one.

Some months back, I could hear the sound of many people crying out loud for regulation, if cryptocurrency was to be regulated, do you know that one of the most in the regulation would be KYC, so I really don’t see why we should have issue with it. KYC is something that is beyond our control and there is no amounts of negativity we speak about it that will change it from being required because it is a government own policy.

It is better they leave than to stay in the market and keep gathering the fund, because it is at that point that they have gathered enough they start thinking of how to scam and run away with the money, at least they are still better than those that would stay, gather the money and then when they enter the exchange market, they dump the coin and then still give an excuse of either investors dumping or bounty hunters dumping, meanwhile it is not true, they are the ones that dumped just to exit the market, thereby using the excuse I mentioned above.

It is better that we eliminate lazy and people who are not pushy from the market at this early stage, so encouraging them now is just like inviting more dead projects to be giving birth to.

Although there is nothing much exciting about Litecoinfor now, and even the halving that I relied on had no effect on Litecoin, it was just as if the halving was made for bitcoin, instead of Litecoin surging, it was bitcoin that responded instead, and if not for the increase of bitcoin, Litecoin may not have seen its recent little increase.

I think if you are to hold Litecoin, it would be wise to just hold half of what you have right now and probably put the remaining half into bitcoin, although I am feeling that the altcoins season would be here soon, so alternatively, you could just hold it and wait for the altcoins season to come and increase the little it can increase, then you withdraw the whole altcoins before it goes back to bear market and keep you wondering for another long years.

It is just part of game and their celebrations but I am sure new players will slowly learn how to behave on international stages. There had been many players who had failed in their entire career to groom, if you remember the incident of Munaf patel's clash against umpires in an IPL match which ended his international chances but it is too early to conclude on this young man. Usually blowers behave rude out of emotions but everything should be complying within code of conduct and players who realize these survives and finds success at least in team selection process.

I have a contrary belief, I am not really into lotteries because of how cheap it is and I belief I would still do it if it was way more expensive. The reason I would choose lottery is because I understand its strictly a game of chance and I am quite so optimist that luck would always be on my side and even though I do not win instantly, I could keep on playing believing that the time is just not ripe for me.

This cannot be compared to other games that you have to put in a lot of skills, research and also more money and at the end of the game still get fucked up because the house is always the winner. That’s bullshit. Rather stay on a game that you know its complete luck based. No manipulation whatsoever, this is my pure reason why I choose lottery and would again choose it over  all forms of gambling.

This is against my motto of gambling. I do gambling for entertaining myself and I do have the habit of having multiple fun simultaneously. Yes, I do drink regardless of I gamble in physical casino or dicing online. I do bet on my favorite sports by watching the live matches along with alcohol and cheer girls.

All these are possible for me because I do gamble for fun and in sportsbetting I do place my bets before start drinking.

I agree drinking and gambling is not a recommended way of gambling yet you may go for it ONLY if you do not care about what returns you are making out of your bankroll. It would be complete foolishness to gamble for both fun and profits at a same time. Target either one at a time.

I would like to say that you should not consider quitting as an option at all. There’s no habit that cannot be controlled. Have you forgotten the saying that winners are not quitters and quitters are never winners??? So bro, get back on your feet and think about how you can master your games and as well avoid all gambling contradictory habits if you discover any.

I think for every loss in gambling, there is always a mistake that might likely affect the next games. You actually made that first mistake of not withdrawing that first 14 eos , probably the first lost affected you in playing subsequent games. I never play with so much money and the good thing is that the little I play with brings me back profit.

Everything depends on your goal and target, if your goal is to make money off bitcoin in a short term, then you can sell straight away but if your goal is to stay with bitcoin for a long term and witness more increase in the value, then you would not be making the wrong decision because I must tell you that bitcoin value still has lots of great increase to make.

whatever figure you see now, is just a shadow of what bitcoin value will really be in future, and when I talk of future, I am not talking of 1 or 2 years, I am talking of 10 years and more, even before tat 10 years, you would have been thankful for making the decision because I am sure that within the next 10 years, bitcoin might have increased to $100k, and no matter the bear market then, it will never go below $50k.

Why? do you have to tie thee bitcoin development to Facebook Libra coin that may never see the light of the day? Was Facebook coin in existence when bitcoin reached $20k in the last all-time-high? There are so many factors that have been prepared and would contribute to the growth of bitcoin value in the coming bull run. Just barely some months back, we were in $4000, and bitcoin suddenly rose from that point to an unbelievable point from that moment.

So you should understand by now that the growth of bitcoin relies on positive factor and to me, Facebook is even one such coin that will bring negativity to the bitcoin because of its selfish ambition in trying to make Libra a global currency, there will be more marketing on Libra as whole and not the general cryptocurrency as whole.

The only risk I can see and say was a mistake is when someone buys a coin at peak, and even with that, the money in never lost. Any investment in bitcoin is very safe. In as much as we have whales manipulating the market, we still have presence of strong investors too that knows how to drive the market forwarded, and no matter the time you buy bitcoin, it will still always be worth it future.

I am sure many people that see bitcoin as risky investment are those that invested in 2017 at peak price, but if you look at the rate at which the bitcoin technology is growing, they will see that their decision was still never a mistake or risky, they only got delayed a bit out of their timing mistake. The only risk that I see is when you trade on margin and that is the personal risk of such trader and not bitcoin generally.
