Told you not to peek. Let mom and dad have some quality time together at least once before going back to their daily routine next year.

No.

The casino runs on some machines they are not to be tricked about what date it is or time or day. They are supposed to run using an algorithm and they do so. One of the reason why gamblers lose is that they come under the false pretext that the next roll is going to be big when that roll never really comes till they go bankrupt.

New year or old year, it is the same for the casino. It is good to believe in miracles but the world does not run on them. The sadness of the gambler makes their mind play tricks and this leads to such thoughts. Think of it with logic and you will understand.

I think you are confusing between cause and effect. The bear market is not dependent on any coin specifically. It is dependent on the market psychology of whether people want to pull out of crypto and pump into it. While it might be true that certain stances taken by different countries and organizations have made things bitter for the market there is still investors holding on to their coins.

That is a popular argument. But altcoins as you all understand by now are not having anything new to give to the community than what bitcoin has. Every new altcoin is a money making method for its devs and not the investors. They dump it and move on. So be cautious what you invest in.

While it is sure that five out of those five projects are not going to be able to raise any money for their development would you still go for their bounty, of course the bounty is paid from raised funds in case you are not aware of that. Its only an added cesspool of shitcoins that have no value but bounty hunters have to be blind enough to keep following them and taking part in them, though the popularity has reduced to some extent which is a good thing.

Any why would you even take part in every bounty that you can? All the time wasted on shitcoins, dont you all ever feel how much you could have done in that time of something more fruitful?

Why not? Some whales use them and its like fanservice to keep them addicted to their favourite exchange. Even casinos give out promos to keep their customers.

DEX or CEX does not really matter because exit scams occur in both. We are nowhere near any regulation so one should use what is suitable instead of using a certain exchange only to dump shitcoins.

Some noobs attempt to make the exchange looks bad without providing proofs. These should be disregarded as trolling than anything that is a legitimate issue. Do most exchanges have a forum of their own or allow reading support tickets of other users? I doubt it. What we see on this forum may not always be a proper support system.

The poll is done on several places at the same time. Primedice forum, stake forum and twitter. The combined result is then used to determine the winner. Probably the cumulative voting result was more for No Kid Hungry than WWF.

Well the reason are pretty simple:
1. P2P lending is though seems to have been simplified by these "platforms", one can question their legitimacy of loan originators. Often you see some P2P lending sit shut down and then after a long time it is found out that it a was disguised ponzi with fake loan origination. Meaning the company faked the loans to make sure the site ran on the investment, so one fine day they could scam.

2. Here you somewhat know the user how is being lent, maybe not documentation but with older users who have had a reputation they are often known to others respected users. So you know you are lending to someone who needs the money and its not a ponzi.

3. The risk here is that the default rate is going to high because there is no method of debt collection. Which is why they always ask for collateral backed loans.

"plenty" means quantity, not quality.

Those exchanges do ask for KYC nowadays after the governments crackdown on money laundering and now people have had to move to other instant exchanges for quick conversion from one coin to another. At one time shapeshift was the most popular one used.

Of course the few things that one looks into have been said by other members, of which I will point out the ones I like:
1. No KYC would be best, but maybe that is no longer possible.
2. A quick response support team active 24x7
3. Responsive UI on both web and mobile, maybe a mobile app too, but is secondary for starters.
4. Discounts for loyal users.

Both these cases can end up with a win or loss. Does it matter what others think?

If you believe in your instincts then dont gamble at all. Nobody is forcing you to play because in the end its your decision to play. Like every other game of chances gambling can end up with a big win or a big loss. Dont let the depression of older losses make you lose some more money on the first days of the year.

Or maybe you didnt learn anything from the last years losses and want to repeat them the next year too? No offense but thats what gamblers have been doing all the time.

Pretty hardcore claim you make there. Have any proof to back up your claim or just rantings from a diseased mind? Well the counter argument is pretty solid that banks pump gold and keep it with the millennial who want it for their future generations. Nobody is going to tokenise USD, other than USDT which has already been created.

Wrong. Satoshi envisioned bitcoin to be a new method of transacting without any middleman involved, making it censorship resistant and decentralized. You need to read the whitepaper again.

Nice job conspiracy theorist. Keep it up and lets see, because if prices rise then its good anyway, even if it falls, we know you wont be there to back yourself up.

How about we see more securrity for the traders instead of forcing KYC down their throat than high speed? Low latency trades happening on stock markets is nowhere near the crypto markets. This is not something that is worth concern now. The bigger problem is governments imposing money laundering on crypto users and exchanges going out of business or just turning exit scam.

Are we not getting into that mining fee debate again? Its done to keep the network secure. Its a payoff between high speed transaction needing a higher fee and vice verse. But that is actually not relevant because it is intrinsic part of the network to keep the network secure and the use of bitcoin for trading is a secondary market that has developed due to the popularity of its use and price changes.

That is a long way to go my friend. We are still scraping for bitcoin-accepting marketplaces in the clearnet and merchants who accept it. Then fiat is the majority of transaction mode for the world population. A fully crypto-centric economy is nowhere near us.

But I still think the current situation is manageable. The average gambler does not spend so much bitcoins that the dollar valuation is worth looking into. Still for a whale it is big and they often change their habits of gambling with market price changes and burn their coins a lot more when prices fall.

This may affect more on the purchase of bitcoin for spending in casinos and others.

They operate from EU I guess and they have to follow local authority rules, I guess thats why the KYC crackdown. With the gradual blanketing of exchanges with these methods they are going to lose customers.

The only problem that happens is that those who leave this site because of KYC are now looking for another exchange until that one forces KYC and so it becomes a hopping between exchanges game.

Its bad for those who are trying to sell shitcoins for a long time hoping to see them rise. Withdraw your coins while you can.

You are right about that. Even though there were something called STO, they are not really security tokens and neither does the SEC approve of them. Thus making the new name of ICO>STO completely redundant.

Anyway those didnt stand for long before IEO another rebranding of the ICO came into existance but the same problem of non-regulation is still there. No wonder people get happy because they are listed already but do they have any trading volume? No. Just the bounty hunters dumping their coins.

These will continue for long till any proper regulation is done at which point Initial offering will become once year thing.

Note that IDEX has done an exit scam now. It is the problem with these decentralized exchanges. They can scam the users when they want and now people have nowhere to turn to for claiming their money and reporting a scam. Consider a centralized exchange this problem would be to some extent reportable by local authorities.

Even though I stress on the fact that people should not store coins on exchanges, there will be people trading and end up as the unlucky ones who have deposited before the site is taken down by the owners.

KYC did not stop them from scamming. Pretty sure to assume that the KYC data was sold away for now.

The go for them. Why bother asking here?

You may have forgotten that loansharks in real life have their own debt collection agents who are none less that retired army vets and bouncers. You dont want to get beaten by that crew in the middle of the road extorting the money when you are late for your repayment. Its the reason why loansharks were considered to be a part of the mafia at one time.

Compared to that, ask a non collateral loan here and you manage to acquire it by any method, you can just run away when you wish and rarely you have anybody chasing you or gunning you down.
Like I said, no debt collection goons running after you on being late. But for those honest borrowers this is agood method fo pawn their altcoins to get bitcoin as loan and use that to trade and make a profit and complete the loan payment.

Why do you think so? I think dice is the easiest to understand because with the UI of any of the dice sites in the internet you can see the bet amount, payout and the multiplier. There are also additional options like stop/loss, roll under or over and so on. With a few trial rolls anybody can understand how to play the game. Whether it will be profitable for them is another topic altogether.

Roulette on the other hand might need a bit of preparation and HiLo is a fun game where people often get addicted with the cards.

I hope you know that everyday is not the same for a trader in day trading. One fine day you open the markets to see every coin in the opposite side. Dont get disheartened, because it is common.

Every prediction has a 50% chance of being wrong anyway.

What coins are you trading? If you are going for altcoins you may see more unpredictable movements than you would see with bitcoin. Although bitcoin can act strange at times due to short term pumping and dumping by many groups still its overall weekly performance is remaining below the 5% mark.

Study the market indicators, you may get the idea of how to use them to predict. But always be ready for the unexpected.

Surely that is the good option now. Since the market is dipping for litecoin you can and should stack on some LTC before the new year. However do note that market for litecoin has been on the downtrend for quite some time now compared to what bitcoin has been. Bitcoin has risen and fallen though within 5% +/- but litecoin has been coming down from 100$ to 50$ gradually to this price now.

Be careful with your money here. It is a good coin to keep for pumping and dumping or storing as a separate value from bitcoin.
