Too much emotion is not good at all things. Like for example decisions made when you're anger. It can be a cause of losing your money or saying anything bad against your opponent or your friends around you.

Then you will never be a professional gambler if you are too emotional.

as a professional, your job is to always follow the game plan, and that you have to effectively implement it while you are gambling.
think yourself like a professional killer where the job is to kill a specific person, if that killer allows his emotion to ruin the job, that would not make the job successful since it will eventually affect the decision making.

as a professional gambler, it's always that our mind that is followed, and our emotional will be properly controlled.

   If you play with your head instead with your feelings you have more chances to win! I agree with both of you,
there's no room for emotions on gambling table! In poker emotions will show what cards you have, are you weak
or strong, poker is not for emotional people. 
   I think I have a cool head, but I don't wish to be a professional gambler. I think except cool head you need
to have steal nerves, and I think with high blinds I can't have steal nerves.

I guess the price of ETH will fall again as the price of BTC is dropping day by day, buy in dip and sell in high is the market strategy. However the biggest potential for ETH is the upcoming ETH 2.0, many believe this will dramatically increase the demand and there are possiblities to skyrocket again. Till then we need to hold our nerves and wait patiently..

   Mahilchii you are right, we need to wait patiently, and to not ask when, it will come, we need to ask
how much is enough to have from some coin, in this case Ethereum. I only think how to come to desired
amount of coins. There are many coins I want to have, and I don't have money to buy how much I would
like from once.
   It's coming, every day we are closer to next big rise of entire crypto-market. Bitcoin and Ethereum are
going up, but many other alt-coins will follow that rise.

I'm a crash game lover. Crash with it's social aspect is just addictive. Not only you chat with fellow gamblers in real but the results for every players are same but their outcome of bet differs by slight margin. There's no game as entertaining as crash.
Blackjack as operated in most casino are zero skill. Real poker games do have skill factor and are interesting.

   Me too! Crash is addicting game once you start playing! It's very exciting, more than other simple gambling
games. I'm not into card games too much, Hi Lo and Black Jack are not so interesting for me, but I can play
dices, it'a good game, but it become boring after 10 minutes, and crash I can play for hour and more.
   My vote goes to Crash game, I would vote for Dice game, but we had just one vote. I never played Scratch cards,
that's new for me.
604  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which tokens do you like to stake/hold for profits? on: May 22, 2020, 07:11:49 AM
   I have many tokens from bounties I participated in the past. From all of them just few managed to survive, with
much lower price at the moment than before, but at least they are alive and doing something.
   One of this tokens is ESH, it's a token for Switch exchange. It's holding better then others and I got some ESH
from them depending on amount I hold in my wallet. Not a bad thing, I hope they will become more popular in
the future.
605  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What old coins are you still holding? on: May 22, 2020, 04:49:59 AM
I have lots of old coins holding in my wallet and most of it is from bounties, I also have bitcoin and ethereum because I still believe in these two to increase up in the future for having a good potential so I keep watching and waiting for it. I am just monitoring the new coins these days.
Of course, these two coins will usually increase if the market enters a bull phase, but if fall, Ethereum is the most affected because, during the last few years, Ethereum has not had much improvement in price. I think this is the time when you need to look for new coins to invest in because those are coins that will give you a lot of profit if you're lucky.


   Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. 3 coins anyone should have before making any
other investment in crypto-currencies. Denamen you are right that prices of ETH
And LTC are stagnant for last two years, its not moving with BTC like before, but
with next bull run these two coins will make huge rises.
   We don't have to be lucky, we just need to have some coins. Top 3, oldest ones,
youngest ones, do a research and buy what you like. Its a free market and every project has a chance to make a breakthrough.
606  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do buybacks increase the value of a cryptocurrency? on: May 21, 2020, 02:53:25 PM
It depends on the way the buy back is conducted, if the team is just selling from their stack of tokens which the developers hold like Binance is doing with their BNB tokens, it would have no effect on the price because it is not from the current circulating tokens but if it is being bought from the market direct it is a good buy-back and I will support the second, just the way LEO is doing. Another thing about the buy-back thing is that not all projects can do this, if a project is not generating revenue I don't see how they can implement this successful

   Disconnectme thanks for this simple explanation of buy-backs and how that works. I heard for that
but I didn't participate in any project that offers buy-backs. I have BNB, but they burn their tokens,
but that is totally different from the second option!
   I think buy-back option sounds like a good security measure for token holders, but in reality why
would project buy-back their own tokens, what is good in this for the project itself?
607  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Am I wrong or right? on: May 21, 2020, 12:29:32 PM
You're right, for now. Yes bitcoin is still a king and altcoins still have to depend on its signal. But nothing stays still forever and I believe that one day, there will a coin dethrone bitcoin. Someone mentioned USDT as stable coin so it doesn't depend on bitcoin but that's silly to use a stable to make a comparison with crypto.

   USDT is a stable coin, it's not possible in my opinion to have a stable coin on top. Coin that can become
No. 1 can be some decentralized coin, that have it's own future. USDT is a coin that represent a value of
dollar, it will never be accepted by crypto-communities in that way you think it will.
   Bitcoin will stay on top for many more years, for now there are no serious competition for Bitcoin. Many
alt-coins have value in Bitcoin, when Bitcoin goes up many alt-coins follow that rise.

When will covid-19 disappear?

Covid the disease... in about a year and a half from the timestamp of this post.

Covid the fake pandemic propagated by government/media/medical lies... whenever the people wake up. But never if they allow government to become a dictatorship over them.

Cool

   To me it looks like that too. I don't know who did all this, but in many countries it was the same. I don't think
we will get rid of this virus, Corona will be used by governments at least one more time, there's a talk about
second wave already!
   We allowed governments to become dictatorship in the past few months! Fines were to high if you break any
rule!
609  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Beware of lying project team on: May 21, 2020, 07:20:06 AM
It's an obvious thing that you should do your own research, investigate the subject. You should check the team, the social networks and community, the idea itself, you shouldn't think that some exchange's listings can be a guarantee of your profit. The market has only few good projects annually so that it's really hard to find the worthy ones.
Indeed but lets admit that some of us are lazy to conduct a research and verify if the claim of the team were true, what matter is the profit and its because of greed. If the offer is too good and promising high return and saying they will be listed in reputable exchanges, think and verify it first to make sure they are not fooling around for their own sake.

   Except laziness many of us are not equipped with technical knowledge. I participated in one bounty last year
where everything looked fine, their site, their WP, their team was active on social networks. With my research
I thought they are a great project. Before the end of ICO they just went offline everywhere and nobody saw
them again.
   Now when I doubt in new projects even if everything look perfect. Often I decide to invest in well-known
alt-coins than in new projects just because of my bad experience.
610  Economy / Economics / Re: How Will the current pandemic affect the crypto market? on: May 21, 2020, 05:54:40 AM
Even halving is not affect the btc price. I dont think that this virus is a good news for btc. A lot of people are writing that this could be a good chance for btc but actually people and laws are still not ready for mass adoption

The impact of the epidemic has not been felt on the crypto market The price of Bitcoin is rising due to this epidemic Everyone is leaning towards crypto because everything is closed. In that case, the demand for Bitcoin is increasing and the price is increasing so half of the event has come This is good news for Bitcoin and is going to have a positive effect on the crypto market The virus can no longer break the crypto market.

   Negotiation we think alike, pandemic had positive effects on crypto-market. Which was expected, due
several reasons many of us don't like to talk about positive side for us here, while others have huge
problems, but that's a reality. While world was closed, crypto-currencies didn't stop working for a second,
everything was like before, available 24/7. It's advantage for us here, and many people saw that crypto-currencies
are better in then fiat, we just need to wait all other to accept it and we will have a mass adoption.
611  Economy / Economics / Re: harmonization of fiat and crypto on: May 20, 2020, 10:19:43 PM
I wonder why people hasn't started to think of acquiring more cryptocurrency now with the Coronavirus outbreak.
The global economy is in high recession and Fiat money is going to lose value.
Some European countries started to acquire cryptocurrency and blockchain even before this pandemic happened.
Afaik Germany already use some of cryptos as financial instruments and there is a list of banks who accepts crypto as it too.
So the progress is decent already.
And we should not forget about digital yuan which is going to come in the market (only local market I guess) very soon, like during this year. China in general is far way ahead of western countries in terms of crypto adoption

   If they are doing that it means we have to be faster and accumulate more. Many of us here believe in
mass adoption of crypto-currencies. And that's the future in my opinion, for 10 or maybe 20 years who
knows, we are living fast and technology is making a huge steps every year.
   Harmonization already exists, people can trade between fiat and crypto-currencies in anytime. But
I believe that over time people will lose interest in fiat, younger generations will not even know what
cash is.
612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Effect of the Bitcoin Halving on Online Casinos on: May 20, 2020, 09:37:52 PM
The writer went on to add why the halving is special for online gamblers: Potential Gains!
He/She assumes that gamblers will hold their BTC winnings because of the potential that it will pump to $100K or to whatever price as an effect of the halving.

    If Bitcoin price rise, as most of us expect, people who like to gamble with Bitcoins will have to lower their bets
probably. For us who play with minimal bets all the time, we will have higher minimal bets, because there's no
lower than 1 satoshi bet.
    Where are big wins, there are big loses too! If Bitcoin price rise and you lost you coins with gambling you will
regret that decision to gamble.
613  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is halving a big damage to mining pools? on: May 20, 2020, 07:21:11 PM
Halving did make the Bitcoin rewards from mining to 6.25 BTC, but I'm sure the miners won't complain, the price of Bitcoin is still reasonable, the miners still accept it because they haven't lost profits, if they have been mining Bitcoin since 2010 there's nothing to worry about it, if they have Bitcoin reserves to repay losses if necessary

   Some will not complain, some will have to stop with Bitcoin mining and start mining some other coin.
Profitability is important, and every miner have some ideas and plans.
   It's not the first halving, experienced miners are prepared for this event! They had 4 years to prepare
for this and many of them did that!
614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy these altcoins!!! on: May 20, 2020, 05:46:50 PM
Time to look into IoT projects as IoT trend is getting stronger and stronger. If blockchain can not be used in the real world it will eventually die. Speculation can not be the only use case for crypto no matter if you like it or not.
I have recently discovered a hidden gem Helix. It is improved version of IOTA so it will definitely have a rise on upcoming bull run!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5247593.msg54414426 - thread about HelixProtocol. I advise everyone to take a look.

   Once again I see good words for HelixProtocol project. I didn't pay much attention on that, but you said
it's improved version of IOTA, and we know that IOTA needs a lot of updates to become better.
   
Not really an interesting XRP coin for me, it's better to invest in ETH, LTC, etc., because XRP centralized coin, it's very slow and slowly growing in price. It's better to choose alts from the top 20.

   I agree with you Jarhed, XRP is a free fall for over a year. I lost trust in XRP months ago! Ethereum,
Litecoin and many others are better investment than XRP!
615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Mayor Wants to Re-open Casinos. Thoughts? on: May 20, 2020, 02:45:06 PM
there will be a surge in corona-positive patients if the las vegas are reopened...
it will not be able to open, as usual, we all know that las vegas are very crowded, thousands of people gather and it will be difficult to keep their distance, there needs to be an innovation if you want to reopen las vegas.

There is always a measure that will be put in place, don't expect that you will see the same crowd when the casino will be reopen, just like a department stores or malls open even at the pandemic, they will also make some extreme measures to ensure there will be no spread once they will re open.

I am not against anyone who are concern with the pandemic, but the economy will die if it will not be well balance.

   Freedomgo you are right,  we can be concerned but economy will die if
people don't work, and that will be just the beginning. Towns like Vegas,
other towns that depends on people who go there, spend money there have
no choice. Only with risk they can try to reopen and work, but there's no
other choice for them.
     There's no way wee will see crowd so soon anywhere, but one day we will get back
to normal life, we can only hope it will be soon.
616  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the best Cryptocurrency to Invest? on: May 20, 2020, 04:20:17 AM
I would not disagree that bitcoin is the best currency to invest but i will add other crypto’s at least diversification will take place.
We have already heard for many times about not to invest all in one Egg instead spread our money to make safe investing

   I agree with you BTC78, there are many good projects, it's not just Bitcoin we need to watch for! There's a name
for that Bitcoin maximalist, people who believe just in Bitcoin. Each of us can choose to be one, I decided to have
more than just Bitcoin.
   Many of us start with Bitcoin, but after a while we start investing in other good projects. It's impossible to read
about them, to see news about them everywhere, people who are interested and to not take a part!
617  Economy / Speculation / Re: Possible to Manipulate bitcoin price?? on: May 19, 2020, 07:35:01 PM
Manipulation is part of the business of cryptocurrency as I have seen also. Sometimes market moves without a reason that has nothing with economic indicator. This simply means fund created in the market. It can be fake information that will create fear or anxiety and the traders starts reaction in making orders.

   It's not only the part of crypto-markets, every market is vulnerable to manipulations, there're many kinds
of manipulations with markets. Stock-market has manipulations as well, and they have regulations and law-
enforcement agencies for that!
   It's possible to manipulate with any price, therefore it's possible to manipulate with Bitcoin price as well.
How Bitcoin price grows, and market cap gets higher I think it will be harder to manipulate with it.
618  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I sold 32 Eth for BTC...now I’m wanting those Eth back. Wait? on: May 19, 2020, 06:28:59 PM
Should I get my 32Eth back? Wait? Or leave it in BTC and start buying Back my 32 Eth with fiat?

If i was in your position, i will definitely leave that in btc and looking forward to buy more ETH+BTC according to own analysis. Every analyser/traders are having a bad to chosing what to do because of the upcoming golden cross events of btc price. In simple word,(1) we can see bull run if btc able to cross the $10k price range and make movement above $10k as a support. (2) Else we can see a 30-40% correction which indicate BTC as well as ETH price will drop . For (1) no condition, i will try to buy BTC or ETH part by part using the risk management of total funds. And for (2) no conditon, i will try to buy both BTC and ETH in the deep. It's just my opinion, everyone should try their own research and make own strategy.  Wink Cheesy

    Nice post Review Master! You reminded me why I don't like to trade with my coins, it's better to have a portfolio
with Bitcoin and Ethereum, and to not play games with those coins, because in this games you can lose them easily.
I like to have both, diversification is what I think it's the best for all of us! To not have just one, to have more because
who knows what future holds.
   I can't choose what can be better in long-term. I give advantage to Bitcoin, but I wouldn't like to wait future without
Ethereum too.
619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto casinos pros and cons on: May 19, 2020, 05:14:41 PM
The main disadvantage of crypto casino to fiat money based is the anomity that some of the crypto casino now requires to do KYC, in which defeats the purpose of gamblers that would like to play in crypto casino.
While without a doubt know your customer policies are very troublesome at the same time I do not think that we can say that is a disadvantage of cryptocurrency casinos when all fiat casinos force you to go through that process, if anything it just puts cryptocurrency casinos in the same footing, but you are right when you say that this defeats the purpose of gambling with cryptocurrencies, at that point I might as well gamble with my fiat instead of gambling with my bitcoin because I know that over time bitcoin will become more valuable while fiat only loses value as governments keep printing it.

   You have a point South Park, we can't say that KYC is a disadvantage of crypto-gambling when all fiat
gambling sites have that rule! But not all crypto-casinos have that rule, there are still many of them that
doesn't ask for it.
   Gambling is a good way to make more Bitcoins, but it's a good way for losing them too! Bitcoin will be more
valuable in the future, maybe that's why every big win in Bitcoins means more for people who like to place
high bets.
620  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Binance listing can't erase price dump on: May 19, 2020, 03:18:01 PM
I don't think all of them are like that and no one can guarantee that being registered at a binance exchange place can avoid a price dump because I see some altcoins that don't have good development are also still being dumped even when bitcoin prices collapse lots of altcoin prices are collapsing too.

   If project sucks, it will suck on all exchanges, there's no way that even the best exchange with most users
can fix it! Project that is unwanted will be unwanted everywhere, experienced crypto-traders and investors
will stay away from shady projects.
   Only if project is good, the price can get some boost after listing on good exchanges.
