The buying point is important. That would determine when they should sell in terms of making profit and how long they should hold those coins as per the chart data to be able to reach a selling point. I think these mistakes happen more with those who get pumped up about trading to become rich is a day and they dont read the charts or see recent prices but jump into buying. The OP though made the mistake of selling too early.

However I would not be disheartened by this because bitcoin price for the last month has been hovering the 9k -10k USD levels and people can cycle the money several times if they would want to.

Did you order a withdrawal during the weekend? From what you write I think you did so on Saturday. If so, then I would advice you to wait till Monday because the FJ is understaffed on the weekend and they have a slower response on withdrawal requests. If things remain unresolved on Monday you may contact the FortuneJack account here to help you out.

I know it sucks to have to download the entire blockchain for the purpose of running a desktop wallet but it is written in several sources in the internet about the fact that you should be ready to download the entire blockchain if you wish to run the core wallet.
For now you should delete the appdata to clear the downloads like the users above suggested.

As an alternative you can go with lightweight wallets like Electrum. However using them poses certain security risks which can be prevented by being alert and being up to date with the news on these products.

I would not suggest you a web wallet because you are not having control of your private keys if you use a web wallet.

Few addicted gamblers actually understand this. They think that players make huge amounts everyday seeing the advertisements which casinos put up. They dont use their logic that in the end the casino is the winner if you dont cash out your money when you are winning. Most EV- games that is.

We should not compare gambling with daily wage earning. A daily wagered would rather be meticulous in collecting his money and keeping it safe while gamblers will carelessly gamble it away. That is why they are gamblers. However some can be a mix of the two - who play at times for fun but is diligent about their expenditure.

The two of them are not inclusive or exclusive. They are different things and mean different things to separate people.

Freedom in life and financial freedom are not the same thing. Most people who are using banking system are free physically by not financially free.

Not exactly correct, because cryptocurrencies again dont give you a complete financial freedom. We are making crypto more centralized with governments coming up with laws against crypto and attempting to create new coins that would be centralized. Thus we are moving away from financial freedom. In true sense a financial freedom in the wrong person's hand will lead to crimes, which is why governments try to prevent it.

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?

About XCARD: They have a bounty going on here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5177945.0
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.
