The number of cryptocurrencies you want to have in your portfolio totally depends on you, the choices of the coin you want, as well as your budget. The thing about all these is that you cannot always have it all, so it is best to have what you can handle and monitor all at once, otherwise with the complexity of the market you will be trying hard trying to move out from those coins when things are not really going well except if you are holding for the long term.

What is there to calculate in gambling? The thing with gambling is that it is not an investment that you will need to be calculating how much you have made or lose as you will definitely lose track of that anyway and at the end, you are still losing most of the time. The only way I have been able to know this is by checking my statistics in the site that I make use of and really, it is a bad thing to see how much I have lost over the years which I wish I kept.

With those people who will never stop being greedy, made that downfall by booking their profits. Greedy to enter FOMO, greedy to always look for the best price to sell even when the market is extremely going up then you ask yourself when they are really looking forward to sell or when they will stop thinking to take action. Probably they must wait for the price of bitcoin to reach new ATH as per my view.

Market is not easy to time most especially when you are not a trader and even traders try to use a lot of things to depict the market movement which sometime they do not always end up right, let along an investor who is looking for the long term benefit. By the way, the whole market cap is increasing and that should send a message to anyone to be more patient in coming days.

The fact that a lot of people are always looking for a way to grow what they have is the reason why they have ended up one way in the hands of scammers when they could have actually held what they have as long term investment which it already is or probably just learn how to go about trading which if they do not do well, they will still end up losing a lot anyway. Obviously the crypto market is growing, so the best way is just to hold for as long as you can.

I believe that OP has meant this alone. Other than holding, there cannot be any other way where we can get good returns along with low activity. If anything like that available then most probably they are pozni schemes like hyips.

Even with all these big institutions entering the blockchain industry, I do not see how that would make bitcoin to become the only single currency used worldwide. Firstly, most of the points mentioned by the OP obviously show how monopoly is already present in the system and of course, even without that, I do not expect any country to even get rid of fiat in the first place for bitcoin.

Nevertheless, I know there is still a huge way for bitcoin to go but I wonder how things would pan out before then will be deciding how effectively bitcoin may become a global currency. Unlike gold or USD, bitcoin will become a everybody's global currency. I mean we may directly use bitcoins for international transactions and local transactions as well.

I guess someone is thinking exactly what I am thinking. It sounds vague and unrealistic to me.
Normally, someone is collecting the shitcoins in exchange for money and in this case, Jullar is. So what is the main point here if I am doing something that does not eventually pay me because shitcoins are shitcoins, whichever hand it is being transferred to, so at the end, Jullar stands to gain nothing, and I wonder how someone would operate business like that unless there is something here we are not understanding.

I really do not see anything hard here as all it takes is just discipline and knowing how to control the way you spend and with that being said, controlling your spending is not something that can just be done with your mind, brain or hands, you need to always learn how to make a list and write what you really need, what you want, which the latter are mostly things that are not really necessary. As long as you can do this and stick with it, with some level of discipline, you will see yourself spending more responsibly and notice that you have been extremely wasteful most of the time on things that are really not that important.

Those analysis and reports are possible only with limited number of games as we cannot analyze or prepare reports on those games where we are not having interest nor not following them. It means you may be a king within your dens. This a good thing only because at least in our favorite games, we may make some money.

In my understanding parlays concept works like cumulative way of aggregation. Risking small amount in parlay may lead to big rewards too.

I feel people always misconstrue a bull market to a bull run. A bull market does not necessarily mean the market will be moving in a fast pace upward, it could be a slow movement upward where we see the trend going gradually and some little corrections in between which like some people have stated as higher highs and higher lows, and when we are having a rally or a run, this is just exactly as it sounds, a run! A fast pace movement with a high level increase in price daily which is always considered at times as too good to be true.

We will always have big players no matter what and these are the people with huge positions who have been able to make so much from that position to be able to know how to move the market in their favor. They are traders as well and they always know when they have been able to shed off enough weak hands out of the market and how to get FOMOs back in. I always see them as emotional readers as they can read the charts to see which pattern would favor them the most and mostly they are the market makers.

There could be multiple secret ways through which whales are still able to manipulate the markets. I mean most probably they all are keeping their methods secret so that rest of traders are unable to take control of the markets. This is just an assumption. The good thing is, when number of traders increase, whales will lose their power of controlling the market .

Well, it is either you are a trade benefitting from the fluctuations to increase your position in any market you are holding or you are simply a holder and you really do not care whatever goes on in the market. Just like the OP have stated, worrying about the little fluctuations in the market as an investor will divert your attention away from the bigger picture which I believe every investor should be focused on.

Early last year, we all know what the value of bitcoin and Ethereum was, and is that not just enough for anyone to know what the future may be holding ?

Maybe this is what they actually think; they have misplaced the key (which in this scenario is their brain), and they feel that just by thinking positively that the padlock will open for them to get in without using the keys, the padlock will surely open. Lol. It is really amusing to think that some people actually think that way, and this is the reason why we will never stop seeing a lot of people getting addicted to gambling both in the long and short run.

Positive thinking affects our gambling but in negative way unlike our any other activities. Being positive in life is always good but definitely not with gambling. If being positive pushes our luck to favor then there will be some meaning to be positive while gambling.

Anyone who can absolutely control themselves when it comes to gambling will always and easily be a good gambler simply by stating that what makes up a bad gambler anyway is the inability to control themselves until they finally become addicted and that is where the whole problem starts.

As long as you have the urge to gamble but can still place your head in the right direction without your impulse of thinking being affected then the rest is just going to be not easy even when you are losing. Moreover, there cannot be any single definition of being a god gambler due to with frustrations, a gambler may opt for anything.

He was just being blunt and truthful, that is not being hard. Really, there is no expertise level when it comes to gambling as most gamblers will always have an equal chance against their luck and it is whoever luck decides to choose that ends up winning.

Yeah, some may consider themselves an expert in maybe playing of poker games but I call those as just trying to hype oneself for nothing over something that when you are playing among other strong poker players, you only have luck on your side. Being expert in gambling is no way similar to being professional in trading. Still, many people are getting confused imagining like that.

I believe most of the coins with very good projects should end up mooning and there is really no doubt about that which I believe those who bought them at the dip during accumulation period should have even started enjoying those benefits already right now. May to June is usually the period where alts normally have a good run when bitcoin is consolidating sideways.

I expect to see something like this occurring soon looking at the way money has been moving into the alts. I am vouching for ENG, COSS, SC, and NEM.

The thing with most of these coins or tokens is that as long as you keep holding them over the years, they would have added a lot in percentage better than where they started from. Still, it is always an advantage for traders who make use of the fluctuations to increase what they are holding as this is the only way one can easily benefit hugely in the long run as you keep accumulating for the future.

Unless you just want to steady growth without bothering much about the market then you can keep holding for as long as you want. But, it is very much necessary that you have chosen a well established coin. Simply holding any coin will not bring the desired results.

Except for those who in one way or the other could have won a jackpot, I really do not see who would have ended up winning a huge amount probably in some other game and not end up blowing it all away eventually. I never really had a good moment with gambling anyway, so there is nothing I could say and not even single feelings to at least come close to it.

I pretty much expect that if I actually started winning in my early days of gambling, I would have blown it all away without caution somehow.

The easiest way to deal with bitcoin most of the time is just to follow the trend and nothing else. You are right with those who call a lot of highs in the future like they can actually see the future.

This is the main reason why bitcoin has become a speculative asset more than a currency and if it is being used with the real value it has, I am very sure the value could have actually been a lot more than this. All the above, it is too early to start calling the top when we are still trying to find the way forward.
