OP has not been online for the last 6days.
I cannot stress more on the fact that you should not use website wallets like blockchain.com and so on if you have the chance to choose an alternative.

Several lightweight wallets are there. You could also get the official bitcoin core wallet with the 20+GB blockchain ledger before starting to use it. Electrum is a light weight client that allows you to choose a custom fee.

If you want a transaction to be fast then you have to go for a higher fee. If you want your transaction to be slow but cheap go for the smaller fee. Its a tradeoff between speed of transaction sending and how much you are willing to pay.

That second part of your statement makes the first part redundant. Nothing is 100% in prediction and that is why it is a prediction. Lets not go into signals here because people reading these will get the wrong idea that they should join signals groups which are scams. Instead what you said about analysis is correct. Although every analysis even if done by your hands should be taken with a grain of salt. However few things can most of the times be predicated nearly making placement of orders easier and ordering funds easier.

This overall makes a trader's life easy if you know how to use them.

It is EV- but the players tend to take advantage of the bonuses with many accounts so as to abuse that high multipliers on their dice - an example. So the number of time they could bet increases and thus they do have a higher chance of hitting it. When (<make that "if") they win that high multiplier they would have make back all the effort.

Majority of the account sellers on bitcointalk are scammers, they are all newbie accounts just created few days back or just today and they start posting about sales. People fall for their greed too because they want a verified account to be able to trade on them but will not create an account by themselves and get it verified. Always trying to get the easy way out or shady way - sucks to be them but I believe you learnt your lesson trusting some random newbie on the internet with no name/fake name and no contact details to go after.

No sane-minded escrow would not even get involved in such deals. Who knows these accounts are not hacked/blocked/social engineered to scam the buyer?

But I am sure you will not be the last one. I am also sure that several other people get scammed by them but dont get reported here.

Maybe you should read the first reply made and follow that. In this 21st century Google can be used to get answers to most of the questions that you ask. Maybe you are just asking idiotic things to get your post count inflated but who am I to judge.

By the way there are a lot of bitcoin wallets available, but I am sure your next question would be "which is the best wallet" so I wont tell you, but force you to google it out and find your own suitable wallet.

Neither of the two are really safe if you ask me. But comparing these two options the first list ones nowadays ask for KYC for larger exchanges and might even stop you from taking your money out if you dont give them your KYC. I still remember those days when we cloud easily exchange coins at market price using SS but I have stopped using it long since then.

The safer alternatives would be to sign up on an exchange that uses your local currency for fiat and get yourself verified there with a spare bank account. Be sure to check the exchange first about problems face by users and all. Another option is to go for p2p trades but always use a trusted escrow there specially if you are doing a big volume trade.

Most gamblers play for money, they often hide this by saying that they are doing it for fun but honestly at the back of their mind making money is their driving force. They often see gambling as a mode of money making because they dont use their logic, which if they did would immediately show that the casino industry is flourishing because they make a lot of money from the players compared to what players make in total.

Gamblers should know their limits and do proper bankroll management without rage betting or going into debts.

Being experienced in trading and being able to day trade are two different things. The second person is more advanced user who prefers to rely a lot on fundamentals and probably does trading for a living, while the first person is a general public who trades in crypto for some time now.

Its not just about knowing a trend or recognizing it. Its sometimes about proper predictions before that trend happens. Once the trend has set in you dont have much choice but to wait and watch, but if you catch a wave before it hits then you make a big profit. Also if you come from stock market trading then the day traders, at least some of them gave insider info which gives them a better edge. Again the ability to pump the market and dump it by coordinated groups also if important here.

I am sure you have only heard the specific lies about cloud mining being successful. Let me keep it short. Its not so. Cloud mining is a disguised scam HYIP/MLM. People only fall for it because they become greedy and think they can make huge returns that which even banks cannot give.

You are one strange person. You already lost money in one scam and now you are going for another one? Keep doing the same thing over and over and you expect different results? No cloud mining site is legit my friend. All of them are scams. Never put your money in any of them.

I hope you actually read this because it is this of wrong thinking process that makes all the newbies in crypto lose money like anything.

You may but you should know that your opinion is only an opinion and not going to bring an immediate change in the system. Having a conversation is good but having a hope is false optimism. I have seen many many useful suggestions posted here but the decision of admins is what matters. You will have to wait for them to decide on this. Any attempt to force them a hurried decision only ends up in you thread getting ignored.

DT members and forum administration are not the same. This decision depends on the forum administration and you will just have to wait for them to decide what is good for the forum the freedom of speech for everyone.

It would be great if ANN threads would not be self moderated if the cause you are referring to is scams. However we have two methods to combat this currently:
1. We are shown the number of deleted posts on that self modded thread as well as the total merits that those deleted posts recevied. Now it is not possible to call out a scammer and get merits on your post before they are deleted by the OP.
2. Create a "Scam Accusation" thread to explain why you think the person is scamming others and possibly add a newbie flag. Someone who got scammed might come up with enough evidence to construct a Type 3 Flag.

Maybe share the PM here so everyone knows how that PM was linking these accounts?

Typically anybody can participate if they want. Does not necessarily mean that they are all connected.

Sure, they didnt. You must be world famous them are you not? Damn that sucks doesnt it? Such a capable person who can take out the "extorted" money from every victim's loss at a casino that you know are scam. You should have become a billionaire by now and all the casinos owners would have become beggars if you had been doing what you really talk about.

Heck, I forgot you can only type (not even talk) and your lack of cerebral hemispheres make it difficult for you to speak truth. Probably thats why you can sleep soundly at night after having scammed people everyday.

Why is it every casino out there is still making money everyday becoming rich and you can bring back every cent they "stole" from their customers?

  If have reported this thread to be moved to "Scam Accusations". Please do provide some sort of proofs for your claims. Simply saying that they stole your money would not make any difference. Post a proper scam accusation in the proper format if you can and provide some screenshots about your deposit history and transactions made.

BTW the people who are posting here should also note these:
1.2. OP has not responded to the posts and has not logged in after posting this thread.

This forum may not be the best place for you to ask this question. This is because cryptocurrency users are generally staying away from stocks because they are "centralized", controlled by banks and so on.

If you ask me the market for stocks is more regulated and so huge swings of price are generally going to lead to problems for the traders to trade at ease. You say that most day traders love this index, but are you sure that the source is not a biased opinion trying to drive the price up and can be trusted? This market is not about trust which I am sure you already know and manipulation in all sorts exists. Small stocks for day trade, bigger ones for long term is a common concept. Does not necessarily mean that you must invest in those stocks.

Well you cant bet on the bookie's knowledge that much unless you them personally. I dont but you might be talking about your local bookie, but what I know is that never consider the bookie as less knowledgeable that you because it is a good bluff to get gamblers into betting. A bookie would not open their shop if they were going to lose more.

I would say that political competitions are often biased and logically made. Although the concept of paid winning of politics is not proven in many elections - it will never be so, I feel this is more of a marketing attempt by many casinos than any real excitement of sports betting.

They are following the markets of futures which is currently captured by bitmex and all other "wittyname"-mex out there.

Binance already has a huge following and not to mention their notoriety about being one of the biggest listing fee asking exchanges out there. Well you cannot deny the fact altcoins shills and bots make these exchanges grow to a huge following, which ends up culminating into this. Poaching over other markets just because "they are doing it so we will too".

So you bought a hardware wallet but you didnt buy your first bitcoin yet? Thats new to me because most of the people first end up getting some bitcoin from some source or other and then look out for secure ways of keeping those coins, majority are people who are putting their money in the future value of bitcoin and altcoins.

You might want to check out the local rules and regulation about crypto first before you start buying anything. In many countries bitcoin is not clearly legal, although they cannot do anything about it.
Next thing would be to find an exchange that accepts your local currency. If you are going to trade p2p make sure to use a trusted escrow. Always be safe and never send first to anybody asking you to do so unless you trust them completely. Remember that once you have send someone some coins they are irreversibly transferred.

The people who posted above have already answered this. I have something to add for the next question.

Generally speaking I do not consider IEOs to be legit. It all started with the ICO buzz then people felt scammed when the devs and advisors dumped their tokens and abandoned the project with the investors having no one to sue. So they rebranded it as STO which also has no difference and now we have IEOs.

So there is no straight answer as yes or no. But do your own research about what project the money is being raised for. Majority of the times they are nothing better than a quick dump at 5-10% gains if not more. No use holding those coins as well. So do your own research and if the project never gets listed on any other exchange then you can say bye bye to your money.

If you feel a post is offtopic, you should report that post as a member of this forum. Thats what we all can do in order to control the spam in Gambling Discussion because a lot of the posts there are offtopic and posted by those who need to post to get their post counts done for their signatures. Some posts are worth quoting and discussing which I try to do but 99% of the times I never get any reply in any thread in such threads.

Talking about predictions threads though they are often having a good discussion going on even if you do feel that some post is offtopic, just report it.
