The concept behind tether is already broken. Bitfinex and its shills are making sure to promote it but then the infinite supply of tether which can no longer be audited it without doubt a big black spot in the crypto community. What they are trying to achieve is not what crypto was made for. What their intention of doing so could be manipulation of prices like 2017 bitcoin pump and maybe more coming in future.

Yes because they will send their law enforcement against you. If you get into legal trouble with a government you will have to face consequences and so will the people using it.

They would no longer use it because of their personal loss and nobody would want be involved once it has been declared illegal.

You woke up your account from eternal sleep just to do this survey? Sounds about right for a farmed account to abuse the giveaway.

You are having a biased decision based on what you do because its narrow. You should try the dice game and other casino games. You will be startled by the fact that the high multipliers can be easily played by dice. You can put all your money in for a 99x or even 9990x multiplier at the click of a button. We are not talking about the win but the potential win is very big although there is a limit to the maximum win that you can have on these games.

What sports betting does give you is a flexibility of spreading your bets on several games be it a parley.

If there is a stablecoin backed by every currency in the world then what would be the difference between fiat and crypto that too stable cryptos which are already in place? These coins would be infinitely minted just like any other countries fiat and we would have all of them to deal with. It seems like a very nice idea where people can directly deposit their own fiat and buy that stable coin to trade with other crypto but there are problems in the interconversion of coins.

Again why would a country want its traditional currency into crypto stable currency? They can just declare it "illegal" and you are going out of business. You may find some specific use cases of this project but not so on a large scale.

I would suggest you to buy some new pants then because ETFs have become the cliche gag for the crypto market. Dont decide on them to make decisions. Rather allow them to happen first because its becoming ominously expected that no ETF is getting approval till a long time. Its like what people used to think at one time that governments would accept crypto - they wont and same with ETFs. Its going to be one hell of a task to get some unregulated asset into the traditional markets.

Be optimistic but do so with logic.

Day trading would be like gambling for those who dont know how to analyse the market and what coins to put in. Its not everubody's cup of tea where you can try to put in money and get returns every second. It need a lot of back ground work like going through price charts and market indicators that too every minute of your life. Bascially its not done as a hobby but as a dayjob.

Following any social media is like following what others have said. Its good for the start but then you will soon realize that every other member is just pumping their own coins.

Alts dont just follow bitcoin after a short dump and pump. The general condition of the market needs to remain red for some period of time like one to two weeks in order to drop the altcoins to red. If there is a swift dump there may be negligible movements in altcoins and some may not even move at all. Still there are time when we have seen strange first-time-heard names of some altcoins which have huge gains in the drop of bitcoin price. These are in my opinion pumped prices or coordinated pump and dump of those altcoins.

Im not one of those idiots who bought at the all time high but at the lower prices.
Make your own assumptions as you deem fit.

The answer to my post is not a counter-question.
Why dont you should some integrity and tell us how you are going to escrow the funds in case people are willing to participate in such a "group" and how you are planning to proceed with the investments. In short why dont you give us a proper roadmap of your activity rather than bickering?

You should also keep track of all your trades along with the price at which you are buying or selling and then compile them on excel sheets. Add in the market cap and the fiat equivalent of your assets to that and you should be able to get a proper idea of how much profit or loss you are having with time. However its not going to be a good idea to let your emotions make you feel bad when you are looking at it from the bear market perspective so you have deal with that.

Well the ones who do get so emotional are the ones who are having a bad fundamental background of crypto. Majority of wannabe people get into it as a get-rich-quick scheme and this ends up in losses because they shit their pants.

You are correct because people who want to try their hands in gambling attempt to google search something like best gambling strategies and the first site that opens has a referral link to the biggest bitcoins casinos out there and a proper description of most probably MartinFail and some others. Fueled by the false idea that gambling can make them rich within seconds and getting such a "strategy" they start to roll their dice.

What they fail to realize is bankroll management and it soon ends with the same balance they started with before depositing.

Altcoins will always be secondary to bitcoin. Considering the purchasing power using different crypto for other crypto the biggest orders are always in either fiat or btc and sometimes eth. There is always the market and the demand for altcoins to grow but they will not become bitcoin 2.0 because there does not exist and will not exist anything that is like that.

Perks for those who are in the first world countries. Glad we are not in the same situation because in future who knows SEC might want want to jump onto cryptos as well.

You mean a coordinated pump and dump group where the owners are looking to dump their shitcoins by pumping it in the group so they can cash out?

Who doesnt? Even kids these days know who to make profit from the market and go around boasting about their "skills".

How do you expect people to trust you or your group or your concept of crypto funds? Who says you are not running away with people's money?

You are contradicting your own belief that you put in. While people are hodling they do not get influenced by market movements at all. They are hodling means they are not looking to sell at loss but to hodl through it when the market is crashing. Of course the confidence to hodl should be there but I guess majority of the people here who want to see bitcoin as a successful mode of payment are willing to hodl.

About decision making, in holding the two decisions that are needed are when to buy and when to sell. The first one is a no-brainer because you should buy at the dip and the second one needs more planning and preparations based on the trader's personal choice.

It certainly will never die as long as people keep using it and have beliefs in its future for growth and development. The so-called death of bitcoin happens with every pump and dump cycle and this has been repeated every few months just the variance is in the amplitude of rise and fall.

Its better not to assume whales to be responsible for every pump or dump without having anything to back up your claim. I would say its a combined effect of bakkt being an asshole, BCH forking leading to has wars and just panic selling in the midst of it. Still today morning bitcoin is showing a bit of recovery touching the 4k USD/BTC mark once again.

You are misinformed or did not go through the fine print. Anybody who is found cheating a casino would be restricted and the website patched to prevent such exploits again. For those who reveal bugs and such exploits that could be done are also rewarded for the same. Bottom line is if you cheat that you are plain thief and you will be tracked down by the casino owners for punishment as far as possible.

Thats where the problem comes in with anonymous currencies - they are said to be anonymous until people start using that info to track scammers. It not something bad in my opinion.

They can put in their capital to pump it up. Potentially those whales who are willing to interrupt the movement and make the market move in the direction they want to would take the capital out one day causing a market crash and then one fine day in the midst of the dump they would buy in making the market move up again. They would either be doing this to fool other traders into buying in or buying out. Its not easy to predict nor useful at all.

Dont need more people to join now. Let them be,the same people will be fomoed once higher prices are reached and they will come back in.

It is not regulated but manipulated by whales. There is no denying that. One should learn to use that to your own advantage.

Maybe you cannot manipulate the market directly but you can indirectly. For example, if you are able to get a cryptocurrency related social media account active and gather a number of followers, you could use that as a potential pump and dump group. Its not something easy to do but its possible.

Not a proper analogy I would say, there are people who are waiting with patient nerves for years for low price to buy in. Nothing bad in that.
Agreed, timing for orders is important but regretting your own choice is not a good thing. Be brave and firm to your beliefs.

Do you think it will ever happen in this government setup? They are in line with allowing criminals run away with people's money and they dont care about the common people's money. The government propaganda is just to make sure people dont get out their control and so they wont allow people to ever transact crypto in peace. Unless there is some huge economic overturning of tables, we can forget about any harmonization.

Fiat being totally regulated it would be tough to control crypto in a similar manner. There are a lot of difficulties that we at this point cannot forsee but can hope for the best.

Well I like the sentiment that you tried to put in but I would advice you to get a proper degree and a job first and keep bitcoin earnings as a secondary source of earning or maybe side-job; if that even makes sense. You never know what is going to happen in future to crypto regulations in your country and you may be barred from using it.

The reason why I say this is that this is one of the biggest reasons why bitcoin "dies" in some places. Legal restrictions of offshoring alternative methods of currency are not new. Crypto has since its birth been the target of law enforcement to be mode of offshoring.

Why are we considering the bull market to be the determinant for the new exchanges? Every new exchange that pops up only adds to the cesspit of increasing shitexchanges listing shittokens to get their publicity up and to garner and opinion and name for themselves. Its tiring for the investors to go through every exchange that pops up because their recent big investment token got listed there. There needs to be a sort of regulation in this sphere and not just every ICO to list them that too with huge fees for listing.

These exchanges, not naming them, are the biggest robbers in the world taking huge fees for listing coins and then saying that they give away those coins to charity.
