Yes, nothing new. We have heard this kind of stories more than hundred times within this forum still I wonder why new gamblers are not ready to learn some lessons from others experience but still risking their hard earned money and their life too.

You are suggesting him to try next time after learning some lessons from his own mistakes. But, I like to suggest him to stay away from gambling hereafter. At least, he will find a decent life outside the gambling which will be definitely happier than what he could get from gambling.

People are confident about controlling their emotions before entering into gambling that is the reason they never agree that playing gambling is bad idea. You must think about the deep frustrations you will be getting due to losing your bankroll. If you consider not to undergo such a pain then you will never consider gambling as a good idea.

I agree that we cannot eliminate emotions completely but we should be able to control it whenever we need to do so. Because without controlling emotions, you will never find success in our life. Emotions are part of life but it will lead to deviate from our original trading plans. If you want to follow your trading plans then you should be capable of controlling your emotions. Trade as per your plans that is the only way to make profits.

For any trading, profits and losses are just part of it and we should not quit for the reason of not finding chances to make profits. We must keep trying so that we will be getting chances to achieve what we actually want to. Making profits from the downfall market is not an easy task, but when the market is not in our favor, it is not good to quit. You must time for the markets to turn positive so  that we will resume our profit making way of trading.

Not just in trading, no-where we could create magic instantly. It must be a long-term process so that we be learning all the tricks and tactics of a professional way of trading. I believe only professional traders are able to create magic trading as they are the only people who are making consistent profits from trading. But, all other traders are just believing  that there is no magic in trading as they are not consistent with profit making.

Imagining yourself as an expert in gambling or in any other field will not help in any means. Our capabilities and what are the results we are producing only must be deciding our expert level. This way, I believe no one could be expert in gambling because no one could give consistent results in gambling. Winning and losing will be coming more frequently hence no one could imagine themselves as an expert in gambling. Even they do imagine, their results will prove that they are completely wrong.

I guess it would be much better to call themselves as not an expert in gambling because that will not give them any confident so that they will keep trying with gambling. When you are not confident about your capabilities then you will stop at some point. Stopping in gambling is more important as far as I have concerned.

Compared to any other gambling, sports betting must be an easier one way of gambling to have your plans and strategies. But like you have mentioned, we need to take consideration of match fixing and injuries to players because they are the major factor which will be deviating our predictions. I am also hoping that OP may find his success as he is stating he will try only with the sports betting but not with any other gambling.

When a gambler is sticking only with sports betting and making predictions based on his knowledge and experience then there will be plenty of chances to be successful to multiply their bankroll.

Yes, using our brain must be the right way of finding potential altcoins. We cannot expect anyone will be suggesting good things for free of cost. I mean not all people will not be suggesting good here but there are only 50% of chances for accurate predictions from this community. So, it would be much better to go with our own skill set. Once we start studying and analyzing coins then we will gain experience then we can easily find good potential coins by our own.

Still, this community could be used as a first layer of filtering out. Like, take the suggestions  from people here and then go for studying them. Do not rush for your investment with the blind suggestions.

What a game for Lakers! They definitely won't be beating warriors on playoffs this easily but I think with a game like this I definitely can see them grabbing some wins from Warriors if they face each other. They are certainly not amazing right now and definitely doesn't look like they are getting the ring but considering what type of horrible team Lebron has played with in the past years and still managed to bring that Cavs team to finals I think there wouldn't be a shock if he could gear up a bit more and finally figure out a way to beat them or at least push them to 7 games which could potentially risk Warriors ring by both tiring them and giving them more chances to get injured as well.

I soooo want Lakers to beat Warriors to finally destroy their run, they have been too amazing and everyone in NBA world hates Lakers and hates Warriors right now so it would be so confusing for all the haters .

Yes, not all the trading bots are scam but at the same time you cannot expect them to get your profits all the times of trading. A bot is nothing but few programming codes and it works based on some criteria and market conditions. If those criteria and conditions will be meeting, it will make a trade for you but there will be no guarantee that bot will withstand some unexpected market condition after opening a position for you.

You may call a loss booking bot as a scam. But, you need to understand that no one could make profits all the times hence a programming code also. If you are able to make profits overall like at the end of the month with bot trading, then you may go for continuing with it.

Like impact of news into crypto markets, there are a lot of other factors which are behaving very unique to crypto currency trading. I believe this is the reason why crypto trading is not suitable for all the people and especially beginners in crypto trading must need lots of practice before risking their capital.  Still, I agree there are a lot of people who are making big profits from crypto trading but definitely not in their beginning days itself.

Beginners of crypto trading must start with small capital until they are gaining enough experience on volatility of crypto markets. Making decisions based on the fluctuations of market is more important in crypto trading as per many professional traders' view.

That is the spirit of this season right now. Buy and buy more because this is one huge discount a lot of people might not get to see again. Looking at the way things are going right now, one can say at least that the market is giving everyone an opportunity to be buying the dips which in this case is more like a promo discount. Unfortunately, most people won't be seeing it like that, but instead they are busy complaining why market is too low, or if there is problem with the market. I guess if you are buying Nike or Gucci at a low price lower than the normal price, you would not be asking why?

Many old investors will only be losing their money if they decide to sell at loss out of panic. Trust me; the funniest part to it all is that those who are not taking advantage of this opportunity now will gullibly be the same set of people that will be busy FOMOing in the long run. Bitcoin price is cheap now, there is no better time than this to be accumulating the dips, because one way or the other, the market is always bound to recover, and only those who are not smart will be regretting it in the long run why they are not taking advantage of this huge discount.

Well, that would have been a reality if Bakkt has not delayed their launch and one way or the other, I just feel like generally, institutions are basically just trying to play with the market and the emotions of people, even with the whole Bakkt thing and with the way things are going, I would not be surprised we will keep moving like this until next year maybe.

Nonetheless, no one really cares, whether they get to tap the market down the more, or another rally starts, what is important is to know the potential of what you are holding and stick to it. As things are going now, I would not be surprised to see $3k, but the question is, would this actually be the bottom or not? I guess time will tell.

I don't really think that chart gives any credit to US dollar at all. Think about inflation, do you still expect
everything to be as cheap as 1913 times? I mean I am not a finance expert but all around the world the money we use daily loses value no matter in which country you are. Some of those currencies lost value much faster than US Dollar.

I just think maybe the pace was a bit much or maybe it was alright but I definitely believe that US Dollar can't just sustain its value over years, we are talking about 100 years of history just with the same amount is not possible. I hope inflation is always low of course, I just wish inflation was as minimum as possible, but it is impossible for inflation to be non existent, even with small numbers it always happens.

Yeah, the decision to make is always up to each and every one. For those who joined FOMO, no one forced them to do so, it was their decision and for those who are not seeing this as an opportunity now to be at least loading up the dips to at least break even quickly when the market switches back to an uptrend, which it definitely will no matter how long it takes, then it is still their decision as well, which I believe in coming months, years, or decades, a lot of people will be wishing they had been patient. It does not take much to be, it is all about just being smart in your approach to things, which is all.

Not a chance, not even a remote chance of that happening. I would definetly not give a single dollar to a newbie. Not just because I wouldn't trust him, which I wouldn't for sure but also I wouldn't believe that a newbie could make my money more in crypto, I have been in this business for over 6 years with the last 2 years being my only sole income from bitcoin without anything else and you are telling me I fail to make money from trading or from investments and a newbie will come and make money instead much better than the veteran of the business? I wouldn't believe him at all. Of course that just leaves the trust behind, I do not need to trust a newbie since I won't give my money to him but if we have to talk about the trust than yeah I wouldn't trust a newbie neither.

That is the thing, because I do not see a way they will not keep failing over and over on their predictions, because these are predictions and they should know better before even calling themselves expert that a market is always going to be unpredictable.

Most times I believe babies should be the ones speculating and not those who have been in the market for a very long time, but what can we do anyway? I guess like bbc reporter said, to him, it is more like a no retreat no surrender thing, the market comes in a way contrary to the first opinion, I give it back in a new way. So crazy! Hehehehe

Yes I agree the price should go up during a crash but think of why the price goes up normally, because people buy bitcoin more than they sell bitcoin, during a crash people will sell their bitcoins to cover the expenses caused by the crash, so there won't be any increase by that method.

I think the slow decline of dollar due to inflation is acceptable and understandable but during a crash it is really hard to get people to buy or at least hold. We need to take a look at the factors that causes bitcoin to increase and by all means all factors show that if there was a global economic crash the price would go down as well.

If you can purchase stuff for cheaper in fiat that means the price of bitcoin will get lower as well. Don't get me wrong 1 bitcoin that is 6 thousand dollars right now may not buy as much as a 1 bitcoin at 3 thousand during a crash because everything will be cheaper and your 3 thousand will be more valuable.

Novogratz again! Every self-acclaimed expert just want a situation to come where they will tell you 'I told you so' but like someone said, they are just making a clown out of themselves and really, they are all just bunch of clowns, as even my 2 year old son knows very well that no one on earth can see exactly what the future holds.

Well, I do not blame them, I only blame those who listen to them and act on the silly and stupid things they say, because that is exactly what i count everything that comes out of their mouth as.
