Binance is the biggest exchange now, but the biggest doesn`t necessary means that it`s the best. The best depends from many things, and with so many exchanges around I think it`s very hard to find the best one. I changed so many exchanges in 3 years. currently the best one for me is kucoin, they had great summer with so many promotions, giveaways, and I like them because of all that. New exchanges tend to offer many promotions to attract traders, like new casino. it`s the same. I support little ones with good pairs and awesome promotions. It`s not hard to find one, now so many new decentralized exchanges exist, so choosing the best is individual decision. I didn`t stop using bitfinex, poloniex, I am active on binance too, and many others. Where I find most suitable pair for me I go there.

Majority knows that, but there are still people who don`t know how to do a simple research! All they do is come here and ask stupid questions for million and first time. You are right when you say that this topics are popular in a negative way, here on forum there aren`t so many of them, but social networks are full with ads about cloud mining sites, and promises about very big and fast profit, I can`t believe that people still buy this shit. It`s more than a waste of money and time, you risk your mind and nerves, most of this people who get into cloud mining come here later and cry how they lost their money and how crypto is a scam. As long as people fall on cloud mining promises and doublers there will be people who will exploit their stupidity. Numerous warnings about this services, but still people bite it and regret later.

I like your analogy with playing a game, it's like that when you think about it. In very beginning you will die a lot, you will make many mistakes but as you learning, you're getting better and better and you make less mistakes, but difficulty is rising all the time, new problems appear.
Mistakes are a normal thing, sometimes it's hard to avoid making a mistake, I support comment above, very person should find a way to learn from mistakes, who isn't capable for that will suffer financially a lot in trading. Market if volatile, new moments appear all the time, it's crucial for everyone to learn how to recognize moment for action and moment for calmness, this world is not black or white, neither is trading, there are many grey areas, I always talk to people to find their own strategy for learning, with practice you will find what is the most suitable for you.

Mining equipment is awfully expensive, beside high cost of electricity. But anyone can have fun and mine some low cost, low difficulty coin, there are many possibilities now about mining.
I believe people needs to try everything from this list, just with little brain, never try something for the first time with big amounts, start slowly, get into something to learn more, that should be primary objective, profit will come later when you become better.
I'm not mining, but I stake some coins, I trade, gamble, I participate in many campaigns, signature and social network, I do what I know and for what I have time, have fun before everything, it's not always about earning money.

You can always make random bets, you can have a lot of luck with that. I also don't believe in win win strategies for any game, but I believe that some strategies can be a win win for some period of time. That's why I always suggest combining strategies you have as much as you can, be random, make crazy bets in some moments, push when ever you can in direction you find it's the best for that moment. I love to play roulette and I play it often, I always look casinos with minimal bets, in that way with my amount I can play more aggressive, I can double and triple my bets, it's important to have free space for maneuvers, if you don't you will have a very hard job, roulette asks for big bankroll if you wish to have fun and win.

In last month price was 6000 dollars, than rise to 7400 dollars and now it`s down again. That is more than 10% in couple weeks. Making 10% everyday is very hard but it's possible. Price knows to change it`s value for more than 10% in single day, in both directions. Everything is possible in crypto, if you didn`t learn that by now, you will, just wait for a bit more. Nothing is guaranteed in trading, but everything is possible, who says otherwise is wrong. 10% everyday makes 70% in a week, not 300% its for entire month. It`s hard to stop at 10% and get out, when you start with 20 dollars 10% is just 2 dollars everyday. It always depends with how much you start, how much you at ready to risk.

I agree that this volatility of prices can be excitement for the people, especially traders who earn from them. Anyone who is able to buy on bottom and sell on top is making a hell of a good profit every week. It`s very risky but that risk is what gives excitement. High volatility comes from so many people who trade, world is too big, too many people wish to be traders, to earn from home big amounts, risk will bring excitement, and if there are some money it makes everything so attractive. Decentralized market can`t control supply or demand, like banks do with fiat, so we have big fluctuation, that will never stop, probably.

Answer on this question is very complicated, because people are complicated. Panic, lack of patience, greediness are just some of the psychological problems we are facing in trading. It has different projection on every person, to talk more about this problems we need to know a lot more informations. In this things everything is on individual level, there are so many factors that affect final answer for each person. In the end of all things positive mind is what push us trough the day, on any job, don`t think about quitting, practice makes perfection, even when you are doing everything wrong it`s not a end of the world, it`s a learning process, and that process can be painful in so many ways. Keep it simple, keep it positive and like that you can be better every next day.

I read same comments two years ago when someone said 10k dollars until the end of 2017. Price went higher double more! It's not pure guessing it's history. We have 3 more months until the end of this year and we will see last two predictions from litecoin owner and pantera capital, 100k by the end of 2018 form Van-Petersen is failure probably, it's too big rise for so short period of time.
I think 20k by the end is possible, I give less then 20% chances for that to happen, in gambling 20% chances to win are high sometimes.
All in all this is a nice list of predictions made by sound names from crypto world, some are very optimistic, but why not, everyone has a right to believe in what ever they wish. My wish is to see bitcoin over 10k before the end of this year and that to be new bottom, that is reasonable I believe.

They should know basics before they get into gambling, Gambling is a game of winning and losing, that has been said here on forum many times, by me and many others. Don`t get into gambling if you can`t handle losing, or winning, both can be very dangerous. I never think about quitting gambling, even when I lose a lot, and that happened many times until now. People who lose all the time should think about finding another hobby or entertainment, because gambling should be that, if it isn`t then you are losing more than money, you are losing your mind, yourself, later family and friends, stop while you didn`t make any damage. There isn`t other advice for those people who didn`t find themselves in some activity, in this case it`s gambling, but it works for all other activities.

Central banks are printing more money and that makes all fiat currencies vulnerable to inflation. Inflation, when governments are issuing more fiat can be enough to make fiat currencies worthless in the future. In centralized systems it`s always like that, they are doing what they think it`s the best, but in history and even now when you take a look who is running the countries and banks we know that they think how to get more rich, they don`t care about the people. I was here when 1 dollar was between 5 and 10 mBTC, last year we witnessed 1 mBTC at more than 17 dollars. Why to not imagine 1 satoshi to be 1 dollar? I think about often, and I think about when that can happen, that will mean that 1 bitcoin is 100 million dollars! Is that possible? Deep inside I hope it`s possible and I think about when that can happen, in 5 or 10 years, maybe more? Why to not have big dreams, with big dreams we climbed to here, and we need big dreams to get much higher.

For every school you need money, for every practice you need money, nothing comes free in this world. You need books and teachers for school, you need practice to master some tools that's what practice is. More money you invest in school and practice, better results you can make, we all know that best schools are the most expensive ones. In crypto you need to know that most experts are so called, this is new technology, trading is new for most of the people, so school is reading what others have to say, watch how others do it, don't pah for stupid tutorials, in this case that money from school invest in practice, practice in trading is managing bankroll you have and all you need is internet to start trading. When people ain't sure what to do, they start with small amounts like it's said above, slowly progress and building bankroll, there isn't other way around, you need to lose something to gain something else, have that in mind.

Very hard or to say impossible, if we know what will happen we would be millionaires, always all in it`s easy when you know the outcome. Many times people said I`m wrong when I compare trading and gambling, but take a look if you don`t know the outcome and you invest in future you are risking, whether it`s a bet or trade, for me that`s the one same thing, just the game is different, rules are not the same. Only difference is when you invest in long term, you believe that technology will be adopted one day, in casino you place a bet and you know the results instantly. Prices on the market depends from supply and demand, I believe demand will rise in future, prices will follow that, when will it happen, it`s not up to me to say, we need to be patient.

I`m deal with fact that so many people think that bitcoin is an asset, it`s not accurate term and I don`t like it. There are many types, current assets like cash, bank balance, investments, you have fixed assets like land or building, you have intangible assets, like patents, brand, so bitcoin can be something from all that, or it can be everything, your choice. If you have gold and you wish to buy some clothes or food, whatever, you will need to sell it first for the currency you wish than to make purchase. With bitcoin and crypto it`s totally different, you just send it and that`s it, easy thing to do. You can call it an asset but that asset can be used in any moment anywhere on the planet, you can`t do same with other assets you have. Bitcoin in few years will be a level higher than it`s now, mark my words.

Where is a picture of Satoshi? Little joke doesn`t hurt, but it`s nice to see all those faces together, each of them contribute to blockchain. Changes and improvements are happening as we speak, like someone said, this people believed and worked for blockchain when nobody didn`t knew nothing about it, I can freely say that this people are responsible that something big is happening, without them this changes wouldn`t even start. Thanks to them we are here now, and now with this prices people have funds to expend this to a whole world. Well I sure think that most of us would like to be on this list, invest now in some new coin and maybe there will be luck for us in next 10 years

People are money thirsty, they don`t believe in anything else except in the money in their hands. For many people crypto is money making machine, they exploit crypto to make money, they don`t believe in technology, they don`t think about the future. Look at the comments, topics, do you have any conclusions? How smart people are? How much they understand, how much they are ready to work and invest a lot of energy, time and many other things to achieve something great. Nothing is for tomorrow, but people think it is that`s why they sell everything today and they don`t have patience to wait. Some coins is worth keeping, find them hold to them and invest what you can to have it more, and hold them for the future, not every of them will be great, but some of them will rock the world.

Do you remember last year, period from August to January exactly? Everyone felt that bull run, next bull run will be bigger and stronger when corporations start to buy crypto, whole world will fell that, who have crypto in wallet will feel it much harder and better then people who don't have crypto, they will just feel regret at first that will grow in envying and sorrow, and who f. them for that when they didn't believe in blockchain, they will be left behind.
Crypto bull run will come again, I'm sure it will, for me it's question of time and sooner or later it happens it will OK in any case I'm here and I'm trying to have more crypto until that point when things will start to grow like crazy.

To answer on question from the headline, I wouldn`t do that even for a million dollars, there isn`t so high bet that can force me to accept this bet. I'm very imaginative, so maybe if someone close to me is sick and only thing I can do is to accept that high bet so I can pay for healthcare or if that is my kid, I would do it, but only because that, if there isn`t other way for me to make some big money in short period.
My wife is watching TLC, who doesn`t have that channel this days. There people are doing all sort of things, usually disgusting ones. There is one show where to friends make some bets and they go to tattoo artist and one person choose tattoo for other one, what they do is unthinkable. People are doing many things, I don`t approve everything I see, but in the end each of us have one life and what will you do is your thing, as long as you don`t hurt others with your actions.

If bitcoin threatens the existence of banking sector, in future bitcoin can be potential disaster for that banking sector. It`s not that bitcoin is a disaster, but it can be for the banks, in future crypto can fully replace banking system, what will happen with banks in that case? You misunderstood what op wanted to say, but in same time you elaborated his headline. I strongly believe in that outcome, but who knows what future is bringing, we can`t be sure in anything 100% this days, many things can happen, people work on both sides, you can say it`s a war out there, but crypto is slowly growing and pushing out banks, it`s happening on a small scale, ordinary people are doing that, what will happen when governments and companies start to massively adopt crypto, banks will be crushed.

This is just a one more troll, nobody would give so much money for probably the worthless strategy. Like you said he will use it if it really works, but it doesn`t, we have seen here so many similar threads and members on forum knows very good about many scam attempts here. I play texas holdem for years, and I know for sure that nobody can guarantee 10% daily profit in that game. There is no way that this newcomer is truthful, no f. chances. And price he want for his strategy is abnormal, that just make his thread more repulsive. He can`t come with proofs, he doesn`t have any proofs for his scam, that`s how smart some scammers are, but how many fools there are I wouldn`t be surprised if someone thinks that something like this can work. Stay away from this kind of strategies, nothing good ever come from fast making money strategies.
