Many coins are good for investing, holding, trading, nobody says otherwise, but the best from all is bitcoin. Someone search good coin for investing but only if already have a stash of bitcoins, take care of that and then move to next ones.
When we are at next one that should be litecoin or ethereum, my opinion is that everyone should start from the best ones. All other alts and tokens are in shadow, investing in them is more risky, what will happen with them in future is hard to say, will they fins supporters or not, will they endure in fulfilling their plans, to many questions.
The best is to hold to bitcoins, have fun with other alts but just that fun, make some money with them if you can ans buy back bitcoin.

Op listed benefits for community and for individuals. They are not new, they exist as long as gambling, but they are pushed on a side because many more people talks about bad side of gambling.
In gambling people lose money, some people don't have limits for them gambling is characterized as devils job, instead to take money home people spent it in casino. But that's something you can expect from stupid people, smart people know the meaning of the game and they play for fun and thrill, if they take money it's even better, but its not all about that, running for money isn't gambling.
For me gambling have more benefits then the bad sides, but that is probably because I have fun and I never spent more then I can with gambling, addition to that I won many times a lot and I know how good that feels.

Don't hold all of your coins on exchange, never ever. You should have enough on exchange for your activities, but never more then that. When I make some profit I exchange part of it, sometimes I return myself on starting amount, I never trade with more then I can afford to lose, and that's old gold rule, who forgets it pays sooner or later for that. Last year we didn't see exchange crash, it was case with exchange sites before, but looks like most of them are taking more care this days, they have better security, more protection, but its better to feel safe then to regret later, so keep your money safe on a safe place, that's a wallet, hardware, keeping money on exchange is always a risk, so be careful whom you trust.

He doesn't know what is money laundering, and even more worst is that what he doesn't know where gold ans silver coming from. Is he aware how many people died in those mines? But that is other topic, main is money laundering. This guy doesn't know that the biggest money launderer's are banks, the same people that rules over traditional currencies, that same people that are owners of those mines where so many people died. This guy doesn't know even 1% of everything, like most of the others!  But he knows how to talk bas about bitcoin, and to make some stupid connections between bitcoin and money laundering. This thread doesn't deserve to exist at all!

When a owner of many horses saw first car he laughed, he thought nothing can replace horses. Why technology is important, it makes life easier! So why the hassle with bills, with banks and institutions? Why to bother to stand in endless lines and wait for some paper!?
Old people, majority of them still do it, they can't learn nothing new, they don't wish to learn nothing new, but younger generation knows what is easier and better, that's why crypto will replace fiat, when will it happen is bih question, it can happen I'm next 10 years, I'm some countries for sure and before that time period, some countries will wait longer. There is no other way as I see it, one day all world will be crypto, who doesn't see it is blind and not enough aware of the global stage!

Many people doesn't understand one country economy, how can they understand global economy, or bitcoin? In this topic there are many comments that doesn't deserve to be here, people just talk random about what they feel about all situation, without any knowledge! Many didn't even try to put some effort in searching about subject they wish to talk about.
Global economy have it's own regulations, while blockchain different ones. How they affect each other is by value and support they have. Are they in war, probably yes. Bitcoin is changing the way people see the money, and what people think about it, how they earn and use it, and that disturbs traditional people.
There is one way, technology way, that answers the question what will happen in the end.

There are 195 countries in the world, most of them, including my country, have very bad economy. Government promise a lot in past few years, they lowered paychecks few years ago and its giving results, at least government claims that.
They promise that we EU will accepts us soon, in next couple years, that can boost our economy maybe, I'm not sure what to think about it. A lot of news about it around, some people say one thing, others say something else, looks like everyone have different opinion.
Since I'm in bitcoin I don't care about economy in my country generally, I'm more interested in crypto economy and development.

Last peak was at 8600 dollars mark, in a less then a week price is down for 1300 dollars and now its at 7400 dollars. Question is will it go bellow 7000 dollars this time, I think we will not see price under that, we will see new bottom somewhere here. I sold some bitcoins on recent top and I will buy back this days, I think price will fall couple hundred dollars more and that will be that for this drop.
Its my strategy for this ride, every ride is specific, as a traders we need to have some understanding of price movement and to act as we think its the best. In case if price goes under 7k dollars I will buy more, bottom must be close.

Who wish higher anonymity will use anonymous coins, decentralized exchanges, etc. Government create more regulations to keep more track of what is happening, and that will never stop, but they can't cover everything. I am not an anarchist, but we need better systems, we need new governments, we need to pay more attention on world around us and make system that will be good for all of us. Main thing why I am against governments is because politicians who just care about their own interest, not just them economy is working for people who have a lot of money, and in this times everyone cares just about profit, that needs to stop somehow, just like that we can see better days.

Think again about bringing him down for what he offer here, probably he wish to pick up few fools to pay him and he will disappear. He is not the first or the last of its kind, there are to many scammers around.
There are too many good tipsters here in gambling section, they are around for years, why would anyone choose this newcomer without any repudiation? There are many ways for every person to prove himself here, free ways, after that it's easy to start charging your services.
There is time for this newcomer to prove himself, 20 days left to world cup, maybe he can throw us some free tip until then, just to show how good he is.

First question is are we equal? In unequal community where not all the people have basic needs you can't talk about improving. Now crypto community looks like any other community, you have good and bad things, but I think there are more bad things and how can we go forward when so many things holds us back? In every community there are people on bottom who are ready to do what ever to make some money, and can we blame them? Not everyone had luck to born on prosperity, to have nice life, many more lives without basic needs.
We can improve communities only if we decide to split all benefits on equal parts among all the people, when we become equal we will look each other with different eyes and we will respect each other more. What you think when will that happen?

Do you understand irony in this question? My answer is probably in far far future, if it ever happens.

Every dip has it's own bottom, what to do in the in the dip depends from where you are in that moment. If dip started you should sell and wait for deep to buy again. If you missed chance for selling and bottom is close then you should buy more before new rise. If bottom passed and price is rising again that means rollercoaster is over and you need to wait next opportunity for making good trades and profits.
If you are late let it pass and wait new opportunity. Doing trades in last minutes can be profitable sometimes but only if your timing is perfect and that is hard to achieve in market that fluctuate all the time.
There is option to just hold and wait, but that's hodling both trading, safe option for the people that can't handle stress.

He was unlucky, same comment draw my attention and its probably the right answer. OP expected to make a lot of money, he lost and he felt it would be good for him to come here and cry about it, blame bitcoin, casino, and all of us who support that devil thing.
He is not the first or the last one who is crying about losing money on gambling, its always some newbie. I always ask why didn't they come here sooner, before they lost their money. Probably its easier to cry in the end then to prepare yourself.

Do you read news? Two days ago we had a bitcoin pizza day, two pizzas for 10k bitcoins in 2010! Do you know how many pizzas can you buy now with 10k bitcoins?
Do you think bitcoin needs to recover? Look where we are!
I am bit tired from newcomers that create this kind of topics, and even more tired from people who comment without paying a little attention. How stupid we are? We wish better world, but so many stupid people is around, and that is not a problem, the biggest problem is that people don't wish to learn!
Who ever is stupid to think that bitcoin needs some recovery is crazy, price was high and dropped, but we are very high when you check bitcoin price in years before and now, remember that, and stop spreading fud.

One more topic about addiction and gambling! Now people will talk and talk about psychology not about gambling. I already see many comments where people give examples of different kind of nonchemical addiction, about everything and anything except gambling.
Like we didn't pass that million times already, and I always ask myself why anyone who have problems with gambling come to cry about it in gambling section? There are too many similar topics, with many similar comments, I don't think they helps anyone, who have problem with gambling will not visit gambling section as I said.
Maybe administrators needs to consider making sub-topic about gambling problems and addictions, to clear space for us who love to gamble.

There are many ridiculous topics where headline doesn't have any connections with thread, where it's hard to understand what someone wanted to say or ask. Most funny part is when I see how other people don't see that and they write answers, or maybe they see but they don't care.
You tried to give some explanation but most people will not see that. People always do what they wish to do, and when they make mistake they cry later like op do in his post, and they always beg for some help, funny part again is that they already had it here on forum, they just needed to read more.

We need it because fiat system is corrupted, so corrupted that nothing can heal it anymore, we need a replacement and that replacement can be bitcoin. Income is needed always, some have it from crypto, some from fiat, some from both sides, we will earn in one way or another, but that's not a point, bitcoin needs to help people to improve society in some way, in the end bitcoin is just a tool like flat is, its on us to use it on the right way. Bitcoin is far more better tool then fiat currencies and we need to learn how to use it to be a benefit for all the people. This and many other reasons are why we need crypto ans bitcoin in first place.

I don't understand the point of this topic. What about fixed marches? I don't understand what op wish, to find some site with such matches, or tipster with informations about fixed matches? I really don't understand headline and topic, maybe I'm crazy but I would like some simple explanation what he wish?
With scams you always need to be careful, when you think that you have safe bet and you plan to make a lot of money, be aware that someone is maybe fixing you!

There is one connection, when bitcoin is rising that's mean money is being pumped into it, money comes from alts, people are cashing from alts and they are buying back bitcoin. Money has its flow and its normally that market is affected by traders decisions, I mean masses. Today everyone wish to sell on top and buy back in bottom, how can market react on that money flow? With fluctuations of course.
Bitcoin has impact on alts price, when bitcoin rise prices of alts in fiat also rise. Bitcoin is the main mean of exchange for many alts and tokens.

I believe here it depends from amount of bitcoins you wish to keep in the wallet. If you have more than 10 bitcoins, buying one ladger or trezor wallet would be the best possible option. From 0.1-10 btc you can choose some good free hardware wallet, for low amounts you can always use blockchaininfo or xapp, both are online wallets they have been around for years and they operate for all this time without problems.
Today there are many wallets, they are trying to give the best protection and user friendly platform to attract more people to use it. There are many reputable wallets, choosing one isn't hard anymore like it use to be.
