To be honest I use crypto as an asset,  most of the times at least. But my opinion is that crypto should be used for paying and not holding. After all bitcoin is made to be currency and not asset. But governments will not accept crypto without taxes, so I guess taxes are maybe inevitable. At the end, opinion of common people matters little.

Price is definitely recovering, but I am not sure if we can say that bull ride has started. But you are correct when you say that people has started investing and are feeling a bit safer. After all price rising is showing the same thing.
As for trading strategy... I guess that all serious traders have some kind of strategy. Only those who are not knowledgeable enough about crypto, have no strategy. But at the end, two questions will always be active... when to buy and when to sell. Also I agree that best amount for investment is, the one which you can afford to lose.

You can't say that decisions of some government is not important, because everything is connected when it comes to crypto. What I mean is, if one major country like US decide that crypto should be banned, that would probably make chain reaction and some other countries would ban crypto as well. That would have strong impact on crypto, and to be honest who knows what exactly could happen. After all if people can't use bitcoin as an currency (which is main goal of it), and earning extra money becomes to complicated, eventually large number of people would leave crytpo market. I agree that crypto can survive almost everything, and that revolution can only be delayed but not stopped, but decisions of our governments matter. Or at least that is what I think.

That is nothing special, its only mare speculation. With simple speculation there is only two outcomes,  either the price will go up or down. Without proper evidance, your opinion or for that matter opinion of "high profile people" will always be simple speculations and nothing more. And because of that I say its nothing special, or at least that is what I think.

If you are trying to start business where human interaction is important thing, you should get used to people disagreeing with you. Also you should try to learn from other people thinking and advices (not all of them are useful, but some are). Customers will always try to find negative things first, only later on will they look for good ones. But that should not discourage you, also you should not give in to your negative attitude, because that will force away your potential customers. This example shows that you still have much to learn about social relations, but keep the hard work and one day it will pay out if you do it right.

From all the predictions you made, to me #3 seams like most likely to happen, or at least something nearly the same. But I guess there are some factors which we can not predict, because we are not aware of them. And those factors could affect bitcoins recovery greatly. Lately a lot of news speak about regulations of crypto, when that starts it will have impact on crypto prices. But I guess this are just what and ifs, you said it well enough in your predictions.

Main goal of spreading misinformation is always same, FUD and everything that goes in hand with it. I guess because price has started rising, some people wants to buy more coins, but for lower price and for that they need something which will bring price down a bit. And there is where this misinformation comes in handy. At least that is logical explanation that I could come with, because banning of crypto is almost impossible to happen.
There could be other "secondary" reasons too, but main will always be the same.

Its nice to see when people are trying to make something new. Also I like simple things, but to be totally honest here, this is too simple even for my taste. You should improve UI and overall site a bit. Maybe its just me, and maybe this is only start from which things are going to improve, but you should really aim to improve it, sooner better than later.
I'm sceptical about all new gambling sites, so for now I will just keep watching sites progress and hopefully one day I will bet some BTC on it. Also I'm interested in answer on veleten's question.
Good luck in the future.

Only those who know very little about things that are going on in crypto world, still believe that total ban of crypto have high chances of happening. I mean its not totally impossible, but chances for that are extremely low. Banning crypto would bring nothing, while on the other hand regulating could bring so much to EU and USA. Governments will always chose course of action that suits them the most, and that is not banning.

But I guess that you are correct, that on long terms price would recover. But it would be massive blow for crypto market to lose EU and USA users. Losing users is never good for product.

We are all responsible for our own actions, but that doesn't mean some deserve to hold bitcoins more than others. In my opinion, what you said is just wrong. We all make mistakes and pay for them.

I would not be surprised to see something like that, after all we are talking about politics and making money. 

All that those so called experts are saying, is worth exactly nothing. They only say things like: it could, it might, there is possibility... and so on. I don't understand why people see it like its 100 percent accurate information, and that bitcoin will do what they say. Stop being blinded by so called experts. Instead do your own research and form your own views, those will be worth much more than those of "experts".

Sadly, people got used to way of thinking that everything is controlled by someone. So when it comes to decentralized crypto, which is controlled by no one and everyone, they can't believe that and think its some kind of fraud. There are other little things which makes most of people not believing in what crytpo represent and in crypto itself. But you are correct about knowledge of crypto. Knowing how crypto work is essential for everyone that wants to enter crypto world, would that be trading or getting payed with crypto.

I have been using gambling sites from time to time, and there's so many of them that you could use. But I guess that sites which I could recommend are the sites in which I enjoyed the most. Those are Nitrogensports and  Crypto-Games. You can try out Casino Royal. Personally I haven't tried it yet, but it seams like a good site. Also I guess you could check out Fortune Jack, friend told me they are not bad. But I guess that at the end, all famous and good gambling sites are generally similar. Good luck

With blockchain technology out there, and with such huge support base, it was only a matter of time before something like this appeared. I guess we can expect more and more projects like this.
But some how I have a feeling that our private data will never be as "private" as we think, speaking in general of course. I don't say that this project is bad, this could be next best social media out there.
Its good to see that people are thinking about using blockchain for more then just cryptocurrency and tokens. Will follow this project. Who knows, it maybe turns out to be a good one. 

If I remember correctly, you need to find appropriate version of miner software which supports your CUDA version (in your case that means older versions of mining software I guess). If you don't have newest CUDA version for your GPU, than I suggest you download newest. Also download newest drivers for your GPU.
Know that Laptops are not made for mining, so I guess you could expect some temperature problems (never mined with Laptop tho). Also, as far as I know no one supports laptop mining, simply because they are not made for that. Also, I doubt it will be profitable, but I guess you can try and see for your self.

Can you provide some more information or valid prof of those banning? With a lot of FUDs and fake news in past few moths, I think you can understand my scepticism.
Events like that tend to have large impact on crypto price, and I was planning to sell some part of my coins next month. With valid info I should consider selling before price drop. Also if those information's are truth, they could slow recovery of crypto for some time, and that is not something we love to see.

2017. was not so bad for ICOs, because if making them was not\is not profitable, people would stop making them. Last year didn't have low success rate because most of ICOs was made to be a currency, but because competition was so strong and only good projects survived at the end. I would call that survival of the fittest, and not bad success rate because they were made as currency.
But I agree that blockchain is capable for much more.

I would like to thanks you all for clarifying me how Holding affect bitcoins price and why it could be good for it, or bad. This showed me how little I know about economics, and how some things actually work in crypto world. So once again Thank you all. To proven further spamming I will lock this thread.

Nah, that is not possible. No matter how much we don't like what banks do and how they make money out of other people misery, there are advantages in having banks around.
Ask yourself... if there was not for banks, where would people leave their valuables? Or should people hold whole their savings in their houses maybe... Nah, banks are necessary evil in this world.
With bitcoin and blockchain out there, they will not die, they will merely adapt and everything will continue.
