The definition of winning of course making profit in gambling, some people maybe pay attention to their history winning log, they care about how many times they win or lose, they care about their winning reputation , but for me winning is about making profit, it doesn't matter how many time you win or lose, as long as you got profit then you are winning in gambling

Usually there will be a pumping before the forking, unfortunately this time the rising stop earlier and got a correction, and I don't think buying because of forking is a good idea, it's like a gambling because we know that once the forking happen people will sell the coin immediately and it will cause the price fall down quickly

If you want invest then you will need to know the basic technical knowledge because you need to know how bitcoin work and what is the potential that can be used with bitcoin, if you want to used bitcoin you don't need the technical knowledge, but still it's better to have some basic technical knowledge, who knows you can build something better for bitcoin

Crypto currencies supposed to be anonymous and I don't see the need to submit our identity because even if we used other people's identity nobody will know it, and its very dangerous to submit our identity to unknown site, identity theft is one of the hardest problem to solve

This is the first time I experience the long bear market, in  the old day the bear market was not that long, but there are times the price stagnant for a very long time, and this time the bear market going to continue for a longer time, I already saw some good trigger that appear like bakkt but the price is not moving too much and it even slide down further

Bitcoin is not easy to be accepted by people because of many various reasons, but the most common are they don't understand about bitcoin, they don't want to know about it and a lot of negative news from media, some people still think bitcoin as ponzi scheme because of some stupid article, once people can understand the usage and the potential they will know how useful bitcoin

Well people are greedy, some of them got the wrong mindset, they thought that they will able to win against the house, and they can't lose in a streak, gambling is not for making profit, chasing lost is a stupid idea, you will end up with losing more money or become addicted

Its a bit dilemma about the bitcoin condition, we certainly need to be recognised by the government to become big, because we need the permit from the government, but we don't need too much interference from the government, so actually bitcoin in a difficult position, for now we need more investors and more people to do transaction using bitcoin, and yes we need entrepreneurs but we don't want them to invest for profit, because it can create pump and dump scenario

Its a terrible idea to keep your coin on exchanges even the most reputable exchange can runaway with your money, just keep some of the coin that you need for trading, dont make exchanges as your wallet the security of the exchanges is not too good, all of us had witnessed a lot of hackers hacked the exchanges this is one of the good reason to never store your coin on exchanges

2018 is not a friendly year for crypto and from the market situation 2019 still not going to be friendly a lot of people think that 2019 will be worse than 2018, there will be a lot of sideway but don't expect there will be a huge rising, infact we need to be aware of the falling, everything now has become political or place to make profit, only few left that appreciate the crypto technology and feature

Dont too focus on the price too much, but focus on the technology and the potential that could be achieved by bitcoin, if we can make more people invest in the technology then we don't need to be worry about the price, the one that doubt of bitcoin because of the price is the one that only invest for profit, that is an investor that want to pump and dump

No I don't follow my guts in trading, I used indicators and fundamental analysis when I trade, I used data and logic to make a decision, following guts could be dangerous, without proper research, trading would be like gambling and following gut is consider as gambling, if you are lucky it could make you rich, if you are unlucky then you will lose money, trading is not supposed like gambling

I agree that there is no perfect coin and there won't be any perfect coin because, every one used the coin for different purpose and some people got different of perfect criteria, but some of the common is low transaction fee, fast transaction speed, got a tight security and able to be spend in all places, for now bitcoin already toward this direction, but its still far from reaching the point

I think it's a bad idea to accept bitcoin or any crypto as salary, crypto value is very fluctuative and some coin value can drop extremely, how can people manage their finance if the price keep on fluctuating, for daily usage we need the stable currency so we can plan every expense

Limited supply is the one that makes bitcoin become valuable and will be more valuable when more people wanted it, the unlimited supply onky going to cause inflation, because the more fiat being print the value will be drop down and too much fiat in a country will cause the cashflow become stagnant which will make the inflation become worse, that is why a country with debt can't just print out money to pay

I think the situation for traditional casino is still the same, huge laughter, heavy cigarette smoke, but it's less crowded, some people prefer to play online because it's easier and more efficient way to gamble, but the traditional physical casino still not withered away, a lot of people still play in the land casino with various of reason, the gambling industry has evolve in many ways, playing online can attract more gamblers to play from all around the world

Any coins got the chance to beat down bitcoin, but its not that easy to beat down bitcoin especially xrp, a lot of people label xrp as a centralised coin, while most of the investors want a decentralised investment, and the dominance of bitcoin still very high, bitcoin also can be used in real life like in the store and some sites, it is a long way for any coin to take bitcoin place, but it's not impossible

You dont necessarily need to avoid trading, infact trading could be the way to make extra income, but you need to have knowledge and you need to build your experience little by little, it could be by following group signal, or trade a famous coin with low amount, trading is like gambling if you don't know the basic, but once you know the basic and you got experience, its like gambling with higher winning odds

No, the freedom means that we can do transaction without being supervised, for today we need a lot of document and statement letter if we want to send a huge amount of money using bank and the government will taxed the transaction, with bitcoin we can used the currency as we like without being questioned, but to make this work we need mass adoption
