I fully agree that crypto and fiat can and probably will in future complement each other. Without fiat I cannot think of anything that can be decided up as a price determinant for crypto. Other than that its only becoming a bagholding scheme for holders and speculation of the price at which they will reach and drooling over that.

In real time how much adoption we are getting and how far merchants are willing to accept bitcoin is still far from anything good. Lets be optimistic about the future and think about new ways to promote crypto among the common folk.

That is why one should always check their reputation on different public forums before putting their money in it. There also comes in the line of casinos who are long standing in the crypto community and have been known to have credited every big win and jackpot yet won. New casinos are coming up everyday but in the excitement of easy money people should do their due diligence. Not having checked this and having lost money after depositing not by gambling but because the site was a scam can be devastating for any player.

If you guys actually develop anything then you wont need funds at all. Kinda misses the point doesnt it? You guys should become millionaires by your super-powerful AI and then you could take over the market cant you? In that case you wont need any funding at all.
About time you kids located the banks in your area. Oh wait you kids dont step out of your mum's basement even once a year.

No.

A good suggestion but I would advice others be wary that these rules and regulation regarding tax can change in future and so dont be a person who is not willing to change at all, rather be malleable and make sure to follow taxation rules otherwise you will have to face legal problems. Today Malta may be safe but tomorrow who knows what might happen? Therefore following this line of business is pretty risky and if anybody wants to do the same then they probably would have to pay some bribes to the tax department before doing anything.

What do you mean alternative in every country? Not every country is lenient towards crypto. Are you aware of that?

Do you think anything in life is easy for a newbie? Everything needs experience and trading is no different from that. People who are daily traders have been doing this for years maybe not in crypto but in other markets as well before stepping here. There is no substitute to hard work and doing your own analysis on the market. That was you wont get biased decisions on different coins from paid promoters/shills.

There is always a risk of losing money. Now you have to decide what to do - whether to take the risk or not. Remember that higher the risk more the rewards.

I dont understand why people think too much on what the price is at any moment. If you are planning to buy a stack of coins for your bags then its ok but otherwise its just speculating on the price and that is not very fruitful for small to mid-cap traders who are trying to make some quick cash and comprises the majority of this forum's members. We should be more interested in what the adoption and the applications of crypto in problems faced that appear. There are reasons why a price of an asset drops but panicking is not a solution to that.

People are coming and people are going. Its all a part of the cycle. It will rise and fall nothing new in that.

A strategy will only give you a false hope that you are winning the game rather mask the real thing happening that is you are bring greedy for more wins and thus pushing yourself to the point where the red streak starts. There is nothing called strategy in an EV- game where the odds are against the player. Use them in EV+ games and there can make a difference.

Do people really believe that the casino was made by the owners with their hard work and money to be a charity? It is a flourishing business for the owners and not the players only because players tend to push their luck too much.

More coins flooding the market does not mean any good thing. There will be competition among the coins about which one can grab a market that is still untouched and being worked by already by a certain team. This can be a healthy competition but majority of the ICO teams dont do anything fruitful or the investors are not willing to wait but want a quick buck out of the deal.

Not always do they have intensity in their competition. I would rather like to see some working products being developed rather than some promises being made and prices pumped. I prefer to see the long term growth here which I find highly lacking.

Let me make it very clear once again. Social media groups which are pumping coins are nothing but pump and dump groups made just to scam those who are willing to make a quick buck. They sell your their entry fee or membership fee and that 100$ gone is the scam done. Next they will make you buy those coins that they are selling and feed you some BS propaganda about that coin going to moon so you buy them. Dont worry they will make you do everything but to become rich. Hence avoid those.

Also you are talking about TA. Who are doing TA dont go for these scammer groups at all.

I doubt how much they actually revealed about their money or earnings. Nobody wants to do that because they become targets for robbers and tax evasion problems even if they may not have been having a huge impact in older days. Many times these quotes are just paid up FUD to promote some assets which have zero value in them.

People still trade them because they did not find anything to make money on and someone fooled them to buy those shitcoins. Its more like an obligation to trade on them rather than a passion.

So according to you the importance lies in what you are choosing first and that choice remains in future. But what if some other site is being more generous and giving out more than the one you were using prior to it? Would you then like to change your current gambling site to move to the new one or would you like to stay on the old one? I would say you keep accounts on all of them and use the as and when you feel good for getting the maximum benefit out.

Comfort zone is a good idea, but being practical and economical is also important.

It seems the bear market has stopped for a few days now and the bulls are pushing it up this week. We crossed 5k and now are going to 6k in my book. Although the first quarter was bearish it does indicate this breakout even if it might be a bulltrap would not be stopped very easily. Today there has been a correcting rally back 4% losses but the gains have been pretty big recently. Not sure about the reason yet but lets hope the bull market will catch up again once the bull complete resting for now.

Lets get more people resistant against the SEC news. That should be our motive.

Thats absurd to think. A person can make a small capital into a huge capital although this would need a lot of luck and they can also lost a large capital easily. This market does not run by your commands. It runs on the demand and supply of coins and the psychology of the traders trading here. If you expect to get monstrous gains in one day then you are mistaken.

But then the amounts you can get in return can be huge here so dont be disheartened by small losses. Try to identify and rectify your mistakes so you dont repeat them and work on your basic knowledge of how the market works.

What do you mean by "Cute" investment?

I can make out what you mean by huge profit in a quick period of time - but honestly this does not happen in reality much frequently. Trading is not that simple that you just come in make some quick huge cash and get out safely. It has a lot of hurdles and seems like you are not aware of those yet. You concept of dividing money into long term trading and day trading is good but most people perfer to do one of the two although its not uncommon to get both.

There are very few freelancing platforms based on bitcoin payments. We hope to see more as it will be one mode of increasing the usage and adoption of bitcoin. Then again only a niche population will be inclined to these jobs because majority of people who have been working on freelance sites prefer to stay on that site.

Moreover if you are going for some hardcore freelancing you would need to compromise with your identity somewhere for verification. Now a bitcoin user would definitely want to stay anonymous more than anything.

The addictive potential is the hope that makes us think that we can make big wins. Added on top are the tempting advertisements of jackpots and big wins. We all have an inner child who is devoid of logic and reasoning and it gets stimulated by these things making us play that game more. If anybody who is a gambler would have used their logic properly they would have stopped gambling.

Trading also has risks involved. Nothing that we see here is devoid of risk. What you need to do is associate yourself with those things that you are comfortable with. Try different types of trading but dont go for binary options because that is again nothing more than gambling.

The irony is that bitcoin has already died several times. No wonder this has become a joke now that bitcoin is dead along with an adjective such as "officially, truly" and so on. The fact is that a speculative market price of an asset can rise and fall as per trading going on. Nobody can say that it is dead if it remains at low price for a certain period of time.

People are speculating on the price, buying and selling as they keep on doing it. There will always be ups and downs and today the market is showing 15% gains on bitcoin. How far that will go is again speculation. There will be a drop soon so be prepared for that.

Again its a question of personal choice. Some people just prefer to spend some time with friends and with cash in their hands at young age to spend on drinks and gambling and so on. They would always prefer the brick and mortar casinos of Las Vegas and defenitely not go for the online ones because they are in it for the ambiance and the feel.

Those who were exposed to gambling in the first place tend to remain in that mode for most of the time. Imagine telling a regular casino-goer to play from their computer - you would be getting a "Hell no" response. Not to mention this is also a reason why trolls and kids along with cashgrab beggar always flock the online casinos and not the offline ones.

Shitcoins giving you "interest" in the long term? Bagholding is good my friend, but dont forget that the koolaid propaganda is another smoke and mirrors to make sure your money does not remain in your pocket. The faster you take back your money by dumping them the better. But who cares really?

Just hold your bitcoins and buy more bitcoins as and when you have money in hands. Those security tokens are just another form of ICO tokens that were initially "non-security" tokens. Just another name to fool you in parting with your money.

Current mining situation is not good for indie miners in unfavorable weather conditions and bearish market. But stocking up for future is good.

I would agree with your first point but not with the second one. Every country making their own crypto currency is nothing different from every country printing their own currency for payments. What would be the difference between some USD and a digital USD if that is being phased in? Literally nothing and the problems with inflation and bribery will continue on a large scale. Bitcoin is something different from this approach of digitalizing money. Its about a system where the consensus does not depend on a central mode by is decentralized. You should go through Satoshi's whitepaper properly.

They may or may not. A government adoption also means that the usage of that crypto will now be strictly regulated.
