781  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 2 Reasons Noobs Fail At Trading on: March 10, 2019, 04:03:31 PM
I am not good at trading and i I do not like short term in trading it always lose. Now i prefer for long term and so far make good profit for me.
Trading is not for everyone because some people are trying to take short cuts on making money. So many reasons why they failed and hopefully they learned a lot from that mistakes. Newbies should be more reponsible and learn trading everyday. Holding for long term is always safe and good.
That's a newbie mistake, they know they do not have the skills and knowledge that is qualified in trade but they are forced to trade
just using limited strategies such as buy low sell high, thats why many of them suffer losses

They leave it to fate basically. Similar to just simple gambling. Well sometimes it would work and people will be lucky with their random trades but most of the the time they'll lose money. Strategies are more than just buy low sell high since that usually isn't attained without proper planning. Experience is everything in this industry.
782  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is it possible to double capital in 2 months? on: March 10, 2019, 03:46:35 PM
maybe it's because if you choose the top 5 coins in the crypto market within 2 months you can get a double profit, because the top 5 coins are great for a big profit
Not like that,even the coin with less than 100 rank or coinmarket cap value can do that,we just need a coin with more volatility range to find the douple profits.FOr that use CMC to find which coin has great volatility in the last week period of time.

The top 5 coins in cmc are less likely to double your capital in 2 months. Btc, eth, ripple, bch so far is moving pretty lax and slow. Lesser coins and tokens have a bigger chance of doing that. 2 months is a very short time to get that much growth from established coins.
783  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why are prominent crypto enthusiast saying bitcoin will dip to $1000 ? on: March 09, 2019, 05:43:30 PM

No they are not . i always read news online about cryptos and i see that most influencial people do always predict about the growth of bitcoin . its rare to see a famous people that will talk about negative things because they themselves also invest alot on bitcoin  . they do not want the public to discourage but instead they are doing their best to make people attracted towards the future of bitcoin that can bring to them  .

indeed, many feel that they can provide predictions of cryptocurrency price movements while in fact the cryptocurrency price movements will never be accurately predicted, many bad news and even predictions of price movements stated by several famous people circulating in several media.

Well there are prominent people like warren buffet and jamie dimon who are staunch btc detractors but you can't really classify them as enthusiasts since btc goes against what they're working for. Then you have enthusiasts like john mcafee who blows things out of proportion. They have their own agendas it seems.
784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understand addiction! on: March 09, 2019, 05:37:47 PM
Addiction means your mind want something in a regular basis to satisfy the dopamine needs.

Your brain has three status of living conscious,subconscious and unconscious.In the stage of conscious your mind knows what you are doing but on other stages you may not unaware of what is happening even if you are living in it.

So if you are having some habit to make you pleasure on short term like gambling,porn or dating and other lot of stuffs will become an addiction when you want that happiness everyday.But these things is not your long term pleasure it just only meant to be short term but your mind turning it into long term by making you keep doing it very often because your subconscious and unconscious make it as a habit already since you are doing it already.

If you want quit addiction from something then you may need to change your life style and concentrate on long term pleasure like building your career or doing workouts and getting success in your business like that.

A person is able to control his brain; accordingly, he can control his instincts and direct his actions by will. If a person cannot control himself because of gambling, then he has ceased to be a human being and has become a biorobot and such people need to be treated for dependence.
Little correction,our mind is controlling us so the people who are not having their brain under control will get addicted to some bad habits.
So, our mind will also decide which is good and which is bad, if being a gambling addict is good according to our brain then don't ever admit a suggestions from someone else and our brain will also ignore the bad view of gambling that most people say.

Your brain though works from past experiences. So it doesn't really matter whether what you're doing is deemed good or bad. And we don't have the same experiences and perspective towards things so i don't think people who haven't been addicted to gambling will know what it's really like inside the head of an addicted gambler.

And Dwayne Wade's Miami Heat is fighting for the last spot in the East. If ever they will reached the playoffs, it will be a good #OneLastRide experienced of Dwayne Wade.
I'm sure they will, they won again today so that would help on their journey.
It's just new to me that Lebron is not already in the playoffs now while his friend wade is playing, the King needs to rest and let the small boys enjoy the playoffs, I'm sure he will come back strong.

Lol. Small boys? You're talking about the western conference where he's at dude. Things are going to be very different for lebron compared to when he was in the east and he's got a taste of the western competition right in his first year there. Happy for dwade though. I think the guy deserves to be in the playoff a lot more than bron.
786  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling addiction a disease? on: March 09, 2019, 05:23:09 PM
If gambling is a disease then it can be solved by taking a aspirin unfortunately it won't work that way. Its up to that particular person to fix himself up

In my opinion, I don't think gambling is a disease, for me it is a disorder. There are a lot of kinds of diseases nowadays and how you earn them is through bacterias, heriditary, from other people and a lot of ways. In terms of  disorder, it might be because of the state you are in before you got the disorder or also it is hereditary. For me gambling addiction is a mental disorder, you  don't know that you are prioritizing the wrong thing,you are spending your money endlessly to something that will destroy you in the end.

Gambling addiction is not a disease. It is more related to the greediness nature of human being. The more you think that you want to gain quick money, the more you will play and try your luck with gambling. You might hurt yourself and even your family members if you too much spend in gambling.

Well op probably doesn't literally mean it as a disease but something similar. The fact that it needs to be assessed and given the right attention is similar to how you would start curing both a disease and a disorder. People who are well in control of their emotions are less likely to catch addiction much like someone who have been vaccinated.

Happy for you mate,
but really, how can you do this:
1) First thing I did I began to constantly repeat the word Stop Game - Withdrawal , and it helps me to stop game when I start win and
make a withdrawal .

No matter how many times I repeat those words it does not work Grin
Sadly, I never stop unless I lose everything and have nothing left in my account balance.
Addiction cannot be cure by this and accept it or not,you are a gambling addict as you admitted about not stopping to play until the last amount have lost

Better ask for family help first before trying any other relieving method mate


Well it mat work for some but definitely not all. If it works for you to ay least control your urges to keep on gambling, then good. If not, find other ways. For me it's all mental and if one routine can help you out regardless of what that is, then there's no harm in doing it.
788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For those thinking some bets are safe, read this on: March 09, 2019, 05:14:50 PM
Pretty much reminds me of this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1npmaq/highroller_loses_800k_with_allin_bet_on_justdice/

The guy "f*ckit" was betting 7016BTC with a win rate of 96.2%, so most of his rolls should of been a winner, basically out of 100 rolls, only 4 losses and he assumed it was safe and lost it all.

He seems like a long time early adopter because looking at his reaction he didn't really seem to care that much.



Using higher percentage like 96% or even more is a very bad strategy if we intend to do it in the long term. For sure it will give a higher chance to win with such percent, but once we got the loss one, we need to put higher bet to chase our previous loss and if prefer to chase it with flat betting, it would need some wins to make it even, let alone profit. Higher win of chance would be better if we use it only once or twice and then leave the game.

I am never in favor of betting with higher percentages. Those who do it are only greedy person who see big amount of money in case of win. But in reality if you bit with higher percentages, you will lose only and the chances of win are very tiny.

Well with a high win percentage, i don't think the chances of winning are tiny. Though when you play dice, each roll is on it's own. There are times when it may happen that luck seems to be on your side but again, it doesn't make any difference that the next roll would still be 50/50.
789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How gambling sites can cheat you on: March 09, 2019, 12:55:31 PM
Thanks for reminding us. That is why whenever I do register on their website and password was needed to log in, I do have a doubt on them. Some new gambling website are also suspicious to me so, I did not deposit high amount of bitcoin in case that scenario you mentioned will happen.
Anyhow, I do advice to just trust the established and old gaming sites rather than risking your funds in some new casinos.
Not all the new gambling sites are scammers but being with cautious can sae us if there is a scam attempt.You can even find the scam gambling and legit ambling sites even at they are very new here,one thing we need to look is if they are giving lot of bonus at initial stage or affilate marketing might get suspicious activity.
That's the reason why I didn't trust newly launched gambling site, and having huge bonuses may sound like a shady gambling site. I must prefer to wait for at least 4-5 months existence on the site and no more complaint regarding withdrawal that most probably gamblings sites have. Ain't know how it works gambling site that can cheat us if we saw how to bet/roll then is that probably fair game.
That doesn't work in every case. Think, why new sites give you so many bonuses and free spins? There is a big competition on the field of online gambling and how else new sites can attract users? So, such things as big bonuses should not scare new users.
Giving free bouns doesn't mean they are scammers but if they are doing it bit over then it might get a thinking of it.In my opinion a best site no need any kind of free promotions these are just to attract the users and earn more for themselves from that players are not going to earn much.I still believe if a gambling site is fairly working without any issues and best customer support then they will stand out among others.

Well let these new sites prove themselves first in time. Don't be someone who's willing to try them and then let others know if they're scam or not. Treat them as shady and stick to proven gambling sites. There are reasons why these sites are being supported and have a huge following. You can't do anything if a site cheats on you since even casinos do that.
790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What causes a person to become intensely addicted to gambling? on: March 09, 2019, 12:51:36 PM
I think whole thing gets down to money . In order to make money gambling is played as it is quick way to earn money and in this way may lose money and then they play to recover money which leads to addiction in long run and thus they keep on gambling to make money or recover it .

That is the real reason why people are really addicted to gambling.

A lot of people always say that they just want to have fun or entertainment the reason they are gambling but I think they don't realize that they might be addicted to gambling. They did not realize that and thinks that they are just enjoying gambling. I mean, who would not want enjoying gambling and earning money right? But the reality is more of a losing streak than earning money.

Think about it dude. If it's for money, then a sensible guy would be aware that gambling has a bigger chance of taking all your money away instead of making it. I believe it's beyond money already since addicted gamblers are more than willing to go broke just so they can play their preferred gambling games.
791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling poll on: March 09, 2019, 12:48:26 PM
Well you can say that someone is still a frequent gambler if he does it once a month. There are those like me who does just occassionally, only when there's a chance. Back in the days i used to play poker probably every week but those were the times when you're young with not much responsibilities. I can proudly say i hadn't fallen to unnecessary gambling ever.
792  Economy / Speculation / Re: How much Bitcoin price Expected end of this year on: March 09, 2019, 12:13:49 PM
I expect bitcoin price to hit between 10k to $15k by the end of this  year and by 2021 bitcoin is already around 100,000$.  New players are entering the cryptoworld which is a sign that bitcoin is still powerful.
well, we all hope for a very high price for this year. but seeing a fairly slow and difficult development, I think the price of bitcoin will reach a price of $ 9k for its highest price this year. Well, that's just speculation, of course I hope that very high prices will occur this year, like you.
The new players you're saying are still speculations dude. Currently there are noe and the market is pretty stagnant because confidence isn't that high for them to really put in money. I mean i share your hopes for a 10 to 15k end of the year value but it's really doubtful lol.
793  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin spike on: March 09, 2019, 12:10:31 PM
Bitcoin's spike 20$k on December 2017
What cloud be the next spike level and when???

Again, we don't know what's could be the next all-time-high, but it could be around around the $30k-$50k levels in the next 2-3 years. I don't want to put exorbitant numbers like 6 digits or something because I don't honestly think we can get to their after the next block halving. So I'm putting a estimate that I think within our reach in 2020-2021.

Hopefully. If ever we get to another ath soon i think the halving next year would have a lot to do with that. What i'm not very confident about is the manner of how we'll get another all time high. I think it's going to be difficult to start another fomo given the state btc was left after this bear market. But my fingers are crossed lol.
794  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN 1 MILLION in the end 2020? on: March 09, 2019, 12:07:11 PM
Once we are able to get a full mainstream acceptance, I think we are going to see the price of bitcoin getting to as high as $1 million and even more.

I say this because the supply of bitcoin is very low which according to the law of demand, will make bitcoin be in more demand than supply, then we might not have to equate the price of bitcoin with the USD anymore but anyone can make purchase with the smallest unit of bitcoin known as satoshi.

Well i don't know if anyone would be willing to buy bitcoin if they price goes beyond even 100 or 200k. That's just me though. I still think anything is possible and what you're saying is also a possibility but i'm almost certain it won't happen in the next 2 years.
795  Economy / Speculation / Re: Let's prepare for the worst on: March 09, 2019, 12:03:33 PM
With a market that is so turbulent, we must always have the readiness to accept what will happen next, even though it is probably the worst.
The movements of bitcoin's price is highly unpredictable and the uncertainty in cryptocurrencies market is very high and that is why we should expect anything from the market.  It is good we should invest the fund we can afford to lose and put stop lose order in place.

Expect anything or better yet, don't expect at all. I don't think we're strictly following any historical trends now so there's really no point of comparison for me. I guess people should just have a sound plan and stick to it so there won't be any regrets.
796  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin at $9,000 by the end of the year on: March 09, 2019, 11:59:18 AM
This isn't just wishful thinking, there are a lot of great signs in the market that point the way for Bitcoin to hit $9,000 by the end of the year:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIX2O6C6bWs&feature=youtu.be
I really agree with this prediction because it is same I have been making since the beginning of the year, we are going to see Btc price get to $8000 - $10000 before the year runs out, though this moon will not happen until the last quarter of the year when we don't expect it to happen, we would only see it get to about $5000 for a long while then we are going to see the moon which will run into 2020.

February 2019 was the first month where bitcoin finished positive in last one and half years of time Even the run was small, we must take consideration of slow down of falling conditions of crypto markets which will be the real trigger for trend change.

Well if we are that certain then it would be easy to just accumulate btcs at this point to prepare for that time. The thing is, we're not certain. A lot of signs were also pointing to a last quarter run last year but instead what we had was a bottom for that year. I mean it would be good if we can get to 9 or even 10k but i'm not getting my hopes up.
797  Economy / Speculation / Re: ??? DECISION TIME FOR BITCOIN?!?! 4k or 3.5k?!?! ??? on: March 08, 2019, 05:37:31 PM
Unless we break 4150 I see no reason to be bearish. until then I am bearish
Bitcoin already breaks $4150 with a few rally and the trend still not change from Bearish to Bullish. You cant use the factor of price for trend of the market. We need some a good news and adoption to makes the rally was really strong.

The thing is, no real money is coming in to the market. Very few new investors. It would probably take more than a few good news to really bring back the confidence that was lost because of this ongoing trend. The run to 4.1k isn't at all bullish.  There have  been runs like that last year where we're still dominated by bears. And i agree that we may not have seen the bottom for this year yet.
798  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you have a prediction? on: March 08, 2019, 05:33:34 PM
There are lots of signals that 2019 will be THE year in which institutional money finally will enter the #cryptocurrency market. This is one of the cryptocurrency predictions for 2019 that will be a game changer for…

Nah. Predictions mean less and less the longer you are in the market. I'll believe it when it happens. I don't consider predictions that much now so as not to have any expectations. Just stick to my plan. I've already had it and lost money listening to predictions when i was just starting in this market.
799  Economy / Speculation / Re: The decline has slowed down, the bears are still dominant on: March 08, 2019, 05:30:00 PM
I think the pressure move from $3250 and $3700 and $3850 now is now when the pressure is.  I believe that the bear has started losing their strength and though bitcoin is a bit stable now than were it was last year.  I am an advocate of stability and bullish conditions and I hope people will not lose if they can buy now.


I believe there's nothing much to lose if you get in the market now even if the price drops a little more. There's little difference and it'll be very profitable if you can hold it for a long time. The market still leans a bit for the bears but don't think they're dominating the market at this point.
800  Economy / Speculation / Re: Crypto Winter is Over - Spring has Come on: March 08, 2019, 05:26:16 PM
The growth of bitcoin in this quarter is still slow and there is still no significant rise on its price. The ice is not yet completely thawed for the bitcoin and it need more time to melt before warming up. The price of the leading cryptocurrency rose modestly in the past few days but only to decline again in the next day. The next quarter might be better if there are positive developments that will stimulate the price of the bitcoin to go up.
I think in the next year I am sure what you hope for can be achieved because in Bitcoin I see rumors that there will be halving so that from last year I observed when halving day like that would make the price of bitcoin very expensive and would affect all prices cryptocurrency.

That is not a rumor, block halving always occur every 4 years. However, halving is not the solution overnight, that is if you think that the price will go on a bull-run. The last halving effect was like 4-5 months. We never felt the instant effect, so you have to remember that. And we are still more than 1 year from that event, many things can happen, so let's just wait for it and let's work our ass off to make money out of this bear market and we will get to the bitcoin block halving and it effect eventually.

I agree. The last halving too quite a while to affect the price positively and that was at a time when bitcoin was not yet as well known as today. This time may not have the same effect as everyone is expecting much like last year when everybody was expecting a strong finishing run in the last quarter. Obviously at the moment we're still in the same lazy trend.
