Not even about people, there is a huge monopoly everywhere with the fiat based system and we do not expect that government will just wake up one morning and throw it all away for the idea of decentralization. The only way they cannot fight what is at hand is because they do not see it as threat yet and it is already beyond them. What else do we expect from a government that is basically after taking away from the people ?

I really do not even want to imagine what would occur if that happen because there is no need. The government will obviously not give up control they have over fiat as that is how they have always enslaved the citizens to get themselves richer. If anything would happen, government will come up with their own currency using the blockchain, but will it be decentralized ? Definitely not!

The competence of the team is one thing I always look out for. There are sometimes even on the ANN thread, when you get to hear the response of some of the team to the questions you ask, it puts you off immediately because you out rightly know that someone who is not sound enough to give you a satisfying answer, how can such a person even be sound enough to build a project and get demand for it.

As long as a project does not get sustainable for future growth, then it is bull shit and as long as the team does not look like those I can trust to invest in, then it is a goodbye.

If you are holding for long, you can start buying and if you want to wait to see whether you get lucky in buying more in dips, then be my guest. It is being overly full of presumptuous to think the market cannot go down or change direction at any point in time. I am not very optimistic on the market at all right now, and when that time comes, maybe I will. Nevertheless, it is always everyone's choice to make and if you do not know what to look out for in making your decisions, you can as well just buy now.

There are lots of new traders joining the big market every minute, every day, every week just like you’re doing now, and it’s a good thing we keep having more people who choose to try out the trade market everyday. But one thing you should know is that Trading is not meant for everyone. Same as there are people joining everyday, there are also people who are quitting everyday once they discover that trading is not meant for them. Those that believes that it is meant for them decides to stay.

Trading is not an easy job and you will have to undergo several training to be perfect, and being perfect doesn’t mean that you will be kind of immune to loss, it will just make you perfect and you will making profit more than loss.

Yes, but there is no one who cannot learn. I remember when I started trading, and from some of the things that I have studied, I noticed the altcoins are just bending to the movement of bitcoin which made me to decide to trade bitcoin instead and that gave me a lot of idea focusing on one particular coin and making a whole lot from it which I then decided to trade some alts during the past consolidation. As long as you have knowledge and experience, and you understand the market, you will always make a lot.

I agree. There are some times that I have done some things just to want to play smart or you know that idea of winning is going to make you somehow feel special. In the general world, like you said, when it may end up affecting the opponent badly, it is highly unethical and a screwed up behavior. I would not lie though, I have tried to look for ways to beat online casinos before but all ended up inconsequential. However, in the real world, I have done this for few times.

Beating a house had become possible when observing some similar patterns. I spent long hours for analysis and also big money to frequent those gambling houses. I am not sure it all was being covered by ethics of general world or gambling world. Honestly I never mid them. I made some profits and I spent them again for gambling and got enough entertainments and satisfaction.

I must say when we are not harming anyone then all our activities must be covered under some ethics for sure. Even though, we need to be careful for following few basics of being a human then everything will be fine as per my experience.

Always the way to go. Some always have it the other way round and that is why they always end up screwing themselves up big time. Gambling is a way of just playing game to have fun and sometime one may be lucky to win a lot of money in the process, but rather than focusing on the money part of it, it is always better to focus on the game instead as that is the only way you can easily control yourself.

I am sure no gambler will be ready to start thing that way. Because they enter into gambling with the mindset of easy money making rather than finding entertainment. As long as gamblers keep this kind of mindset, you could never expect them to think in your way.

I feel at the end, it just depends on the individual and how they perceive parenting. I have seen some who after becoming a parent, just still prefer living the kind of crazy life they have always lived as youth and they always end up regretting it which sometimes could have become too late. I see a parent who does not put the child first in everything as a grossly irresponsible one, so I believe someone in his or her normal sense should be able to cut off somethings once they become parents.

Just simple. Once you have even reached your limit, it is always better to just stop. It is normal that if you start exceeding it, the chances of you continuing as you keep losing more will be there since you will keep losing bigger, but like you said, just accepting your fate for that day and putting a full stop to your gambling is the only thing that can make anyone to walk out of all those impulse and emotions before getting ruined.

You are right, and as long as you are not too greedy when it comes to sport, then you should be fine. Sports betting sometimes to me have some similarities with trading.

You have to do some analysis, try as much as possible to check out the condition of the player/coin as the case may be, then make your decision based on that. Sport betting is one way I know you can at least bet small and still have some pretty good chance based on just an outcome that sometimes can be predicted to be accurate.

I do not even see any problem with regulation anyway since all it will do is to usher us into a new era, but if we are talking about the whole global regulating, then that is a whole lot to take in at once.

Most of the countries all over the world will have their own response to the way they see cryptocurrency and we may have to see some top ones regulating, but in general, only few will end up having problems with the idea, and we really do not care, and I am sure they will have a rethink as time goes on.

Well, everybody have their own preference and in as much as most people are still trying to play safe, they would not want to put in what they cannot risk into bitcoin anyway. I would not be so sure of anything, because with the way cryptocurrency is going and the idea and perception governments are beginning to have about it.

I would not be surprised in the long run if banks find a way to benefit from it. Bitcoin however, cannot be regulated by banks with respect to your last statement, it still remains decentralized and nothing changes that unless the protocol is changed.

Apparently, it is a free world and no one is exempted from the show and some may have their skepticism but we also have to understand that over time, a lot of things can change and that can start turning to some hope for them. I still so much believe that over time, there would be some mass adoption which would help sky rocket the price, but for now, I guess the market is for only those who are willing to take the risk to be a part of the future.

It is not like they have nothing to do. In fact, they have so much to do and that is spreading FUDs. You think they are just doing that for fun? They are doing it for their pocket and most of these I believe is fueled by the whales that use their position to manipulate the market to their favor.

It is good like you said that they should always be discouraged, but it has been and even with the discouragement, they usually do not care as they will still keep coming back. The best thing is for new investors to realize they are not there for good reasons.

That is a whole lot though, but considering how Ethereum has really surprised last year, there is nothing that is impossible. The whole market has dropped hugely for now and we cannot say just because of that we are not going to end up having a recovery. If Ethereum can start testing new highs, then anything is definitely possible as it is not the first time we are going to be seeing x10 on a coin anyway.

It is happening with bitcoin too. But fundamentally I am not seeing why eth have crossed $1000 recently and if it has the capability to $1000 then why not for $5000. There are bumpers who may take care of what is needed for some whales and others.

I am sure he is not making any assertion and just stating some real life fact. It is the truth, it is not all startups that always end up well, so it is best we fact the fact here. On a normal day, some will fail and some will do well. Nevertheless, it is abnormal for a working developer most especially in this world not to get the product out there and get it doing well. If for any reason a company end up failing, the team is always at fault and which is the reason I make sure I do not leave my investment in the wrong hands.

Obviously, even Vitalik mentioned about failures of ICO sometime last year, that not all ICO should be expected to go on well as planned and that is normal, considering that even in real life, startups fail. However, this is the main reason why investors always try as much as possible to invest in a team they can at least believe in and expect that they should at least try as much as possible to their best to give them the best as an investor.

I truly want to believe the reaction in the market is not helping and there is a lot of uncertainty on the charts. Like they always say for long term positions, it is always good most times to get in when others are afraid anyway since that is when the market needs demand most and so far, the selling pressure is quite low, so I would not even imagine this market going lower than $6k and that would be in the case of a double bottom formation.

I would not even dispute that for one day. This is something we will still end up experiencing and I feel the government embracing cryptocurrency and regulating it may bring some awareness into the market, which could cause some level of rally in the market. If the OP ends up being right, there is no need to worry but to just buy more. It is a market, it is volatile and anything is possible, but no one should ever panic because of situations like this.

A lot of people are actually losing the aspect of transaction and very few people actually do that these days anyway and I would not blame anyone. Cryptocurrency has not gotten to the stage where we can be using it in real life cases, but at least, I want to believe we are getting close to it gradually.

One important aspect that I have found to believe is that, what we have now are just speculative assets, it does not mean they do not have a future and can even grow bigger, but how you make your money as an investor is other coming to accept it at the price you are giving your stakes to them and I do not see any reason why one should be bothered about that in terms of morality like the OP mentioned.

Good plans. Personally, I am not sure I can ever attain my target in cryptocurrency because there is no serious target for me considering the fact that it is a world that will keep growing with so many upcoming possibilities. Although, a time will come for me when rather than putting all my eggs into one basket, it would be a time for me to diversify into other things outside cryptocurrency to at least get established while still investing in cryptocurrency alongside.

At bottom-line I am sure, we cannot leave off crypto field even we do get opportunities to earn multi-millions. I believe we keep on sticking within crypto world to get newer opportunities and it may last till end of our lives.
