Hello, Hhampuz, I'm leaving the campaign. Thank you for accepting me when I applied.

When one started borrowing money and/or capital for gambling we can call it an addiction... or a gambling disorder. Accordingly, it becomes hard for people suffering from this disorder to control the impulse of gambling, whatever consequences it may be brought they will gamble even if they know that the odds are against them or they can not afford to lose.

 

The house always wins because it is built for business, and so it's a must for a house to generate profits so as to stay alive and support their employees. The only way you can win with the house is to quit early when you're winning, otherwise, you'll lose everything including your capital if you continue to play.

Very nice pointers, bro. However, I am not as lucky as you I have tried this system many times but still losing, so maybe I am not really into gambling. My belief is that there are people who destined to be winners and people destined to stay as losers no matter how hard they try. 

Well, by calling degenerates those people who gamble I think it's exaggerated or overstated. Degenerate could mean immoral or having lost the physical, mental, or moral qualities. There were rich and famous who gamble, VIPs, politicians, and head of states, as well, I think they wouldn't be happy if they chance upon your subject.

Yes, Ripple is not a cryptocurrency but a company, so it is not listed in coinmarketcap.com. What was listed there is XRP, a token and/or cryptocurrency. Ripple and XRP are related but different and one can google the difference between the two.

Ang masasabi ko sa pag-gamit ng trading bot sa mga exchanges ay pa-swertihan lang ang kita... kung baga di lahat ng oras ay panalo mas lamang ang talo. Sa aking palagay meron talagang tao na maswerte at meron naman talagang malas o laging ina-alat at isa na ako sa mga minamalas. Sumubok akong gumamit ng bot sa forex trading sandali lang naubos ang aking $300 at dahil sa pangyayaring iyon nag-aatubili akong gumamit ng kahit anong trading bot sa crypto.

Pero para sa mga interesado sa Gunbot me magandang article dito, https://bitpinas.com/feature/gunbot-is-an-auto-trading-bot-for-crypto-markets/

Meron din FB page, https://www.facebook.com/gunbotph/

Parehas pala tayo, tol... ganyan din ang aking ginawa at saka mas simpleng gamitin ang binance kumpara sa bittrex sa aking palagay iyan. Well, $16.93 na fee ay kalakihan na rin pero sa tingin ko ay ok na rin kung walang tsetse buretse. 

The crypto market has suffered heavily over the last year, but things seem to have started looking up. Bitcoin’s price is finally rising to break the $4k resistance level, a development that many analysts say could set the crypto on course to a much higher price.

As expected, the big wigs of the crypto space have noticed the positive development, and one of these people is Tom Lee. Tom is the CEO of Fundstrat Global Advisors, and he has always been bullish about Bitcoin even during its most tumultuous days over the past year.

Bitcoin To Soar Higher

Speaking during an interview at the Blockchain Economy Istanbul Summit, Lee disclosed his optimism about the future of Bitcoin. Tom was speaking just as Bitcoin reached $3,900. According to him, the $3,900 price is just a start and Bitcoin is headed for a much higher price by the end of the year.

According to Tom, the current rise of the global markets, especially the stock market, is bound to affect Bitcoin positively. Also, the fact that the dollar is stable is good news for the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin Doesn’t Need An ETF To Do Well This Year

Commenting on the issue of the anticipated approval of a Bitcoin ETF, Tom had a rather radical opinion. In his view, a Bitcoin ETF isn’t likely to be approved in 2019. He said that although an ETF would be good for Bitcoin, the crypto doesn’t really need an ETF to succeed in the market.

At the moment, there are two ETF applications pending review by the SEC- one by the NYSE, and another by CBOE. Over the last few months, various SEC committee members have shown some level of acceptance for the crypto industry, a development that some people have interpreted to mean that an ETF could be approved soon.

Economic Recession Could Favor Cryptos

At a time when the world economy is staring at a recession, Tom Lee thinks that scenario could actually work in Bitcoin’s advantage. In his opinion, a recession could lead more people to get interested in cryptocurrencies, a move that would increase demand and ultimately drive up the price. However, in terms of the trading volume, Tom Lee thinks that there won’t be much change.

On the 17th of December, 2018, Bitcoin was priced at $3288, and that was one of the lowest price points since recording its all-time high on 17 December 2017. The rest of the altcoins traded way below their predicted prices. However, 2019 brought a little hope to the investors.

Though Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies did not break out in a sudden surge as it did a year ago, it is slowly moving up the price curve. The question is: is this the right time to enter the cryptocurrency market since all the big guns are showing signs of price surge?

Pattern Analysis and Momentum Gathering

Since the Bitcoin performance usually has a spillover effect on the altcoins, I will use the Bitcoin historical chart to make a point. When the Bitcoin price chart is analyzed critically, it becomes apparent that the cryptocurrency does not make two separate crash consecutively.


After one long fall, the price becomes steady for a while before surging even higher than its all-time high. On 10 January 2014, Bitcoin recorded over $800 price point, and that was almost the highest it ever tasted in five years after its inception. Right from then, it fell drastically to as low as a little over $200 and later became steady for a while. Throughout 2015, Bitcoin remained steady before breaking out in the last quarter of 2017.

Between 25 November 2018 and today, 25 February 2019, the Bitcoin price has been very stable as it experienced back in 2015. The cryptocurrency has traded between a little over $3100 and $4100 for the past three months.

If the historical nature of the price is anything to go by, then there is a likelihood that the cryptocurrency price will get back on track. However, analyzing a coin based on its historical price curve is not 100% reliable. No price prediction based on any so-called analysis is 100% reliable.

One other indicator of a possible incoming bull run is the September 2017 price stability. The Bitcoin price hovered between $3000 and $4000 on that month before taking a swift move on October 2017 before recording a near $20,000 price range on December 2017.

Is This the Right Time to Enter the Market

The answer is Yes and a No. Yes! because the cryptocurrencies are showing a positive growth rate after remaining stable for a while. At this point, most of the promising currencies are trading at a lower price, and this seems to be the lowest it could reach. Regardless, the market is still highly speculative, and anything can happen in the cryptocurrency world.

Bitcoin may have won over millions of people in terms of support, but there are still a few that hold a completely different opinion in regard to its viability as a digital asset. In fact, some of these antagonists are rich people like billionaire Warren Buffett.

During a recent CNBC interview with Becky Quick on Squawk Box, Warren Buffet expressed his heartfelt pessimism about Bitcoin, saying that the cryptocurrency holds no unique value. However, this isn’t the first time Warren Buffet has spoken ill of Bitcoin. He has been quoted as describing the top crypto in unfavorable terms in the past. In 2018, he referred to Bitcoin as rat poison squared.

Sympathetic

Warren Buffet said that he sympathized with the many people who bought in during the peak of December 2017 before the prices went down. During the peak, Bitcoin traded at around $20,000. At the time of Warren’s interview on Monday, the crypto was trading at around $3,700.

It Attracts Charlatans

Warren Buffet wasn’t done with bad-mouthing Bitcoin yet. He went ahead to say that the top crypto is actually just a delusion that mostly attracts charlatans. In his opinion, someone who gets into Wall Street can make money as opposed to someone else who goes out to sell yo-yos.

However, the billionaire wasn’t entirely opposed to the whole new technology, especially the blockchain technology. According to him, the blockchain technology is important, but that doesn’t mean that its success should be pegged on cryptocurrencies.

He’s Not Alone

Warren  Buffet isn’t the only business heavy weight to shun cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin in particular. Others like Bill Gates, Rober Shiller, Nouriel Roubini, Howard Marks, Ray Dalio, and even JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon have come out to bash it.

However, in the case of JP Morgan’s CEO Jamie Dimon, it’s particularly interesting that his bank recently announced the launching of its own cryptocurrency to facilitate cross-border transactions. That said, it’s notable that a majority of the market players with deep pockets have been largely pro-cryptos and particularly bullish about Bitcoin.

A British-American Programmer and the founder of McAfee Association declared with all assurance that one bitcoin will equal a million dollar by the end of December 2020. Speaking in an interview, the programmer said he will eat his private part if his prophecy doesn’t come to pass.

It is really a very serious affirmation for a man to stake his ‘life’ for a system he doesn’t even have control over. Speaking further he clarified that he reached as far as betting with his manhood to prove how sure he is that bitcoin will appreciate in value. Mr. McAfee said he doesn’t want to join the category of people believing that bitcoin price will rise someday, so he is definite about his prophecy.

Another enthusiast who believes one bitcoin will equal a million dollar is the vice president of blockchain and digital currency at IBM, Jesse Lund. When replying to a question on his expectation on the future of bitcoin, he told Crypto Finder that he believes one bitcoin will equal a million dollar someday.

He said:


The Crypto VP of IBM believes this will happen in the long run but also said he is expecting bitcoin to rise to $5000 for one bitcoin by the end of 2019. His declaration is under probability because he didn’t stake anything to prove how sure he is.

Well, on May 22, 2010, Bitcoin then was just $0.0025. Bitcoin was not popular then, and no one knows Bitcoin would reach $19,891.00 (Bitcoin all-time high) on 17 Dec 2017 as there were no analysts and/or speculators, and FUD news that time. So, what I mean here is that nobody can tell and/or accurately predict the price of Bitcoin in the coming years. If it reaches 700K or even 20 K that's good because I still hodling Bitcoins in my wallet.

Brock Pierce, venture capitalist, and ex-Bitcoin Foundation director think his plan to take over the Mt. Gox rehabilitation process “demonstrates the power of open source.” Speaking on the latest edition of the Keiser Report February 16, Pierce says that community action was key to ensuring the defunct exchange did not become a cryptocurrency “Lehman Brothers.” See more for yourself here.

A few days ago, a well-known Chinese billionaire, Zhao Dong, posted on a WeChat group saying that Bitcoin was about to break out in a massive bull run and that the time to buy in is now.

On the same chat, another influential crypto investor has appeared to drop a rather mind-boggling comment. Commenting on Zhao’s post, Zhu Fa dropped a bombshell when he opined that the next crypto bull run could see Bitcoin rise up to hit between $74,000 and $740,000 (500,000 yuan – 5,000,000 yuan).

Zhu is the co-founder and main operator of Poolin, a Chinese crypto mining pool. With roughly 11% share of the total global hashrate, Poolin is currently the 4th largest crypto mining pool in the world.  WeChat forums were abuzz when Bitcoin was hitting its highs, but the enthusiasm that since toned down to moderate discussions.

The Highs Of Bitcoin (BTC)

In December 2017, Bitcoin hit its all-time-high (ATH), reaching a baffling $20,000 price per coin. However, the gain wasn’t to last long as the bear market set in not long after the opening of the next year (January 2018).

Since then, the bears have largely persisted. In fact, compared to the values of December 2017, Bitcoin seems to have shed off a whole 80% of its ATH value. Now Zhu says that the current market situation “feels more like a bear market,” but all is not lost.

Despite this persistent bear attack, Bitcoin still has some strong believers, among them Tim Draper, Tom Lee, and Mike Novogratz. These guys believe that the crypto is yet to reach its full potential and that a massive bull run is just around the corner.

Bitcoin Adoption

Market prices aside, Bitcoin has been gaining quite some traction of late in terms of adoption and general acceptance. Just a few years ago, only a small fraction of the world population and those in the financial world really knew about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Now, things have changed for the better. In fact, Bitcoin seems to be gaining favor among various institutions and business enterprises that have since begun to accept it as a valid means of payment.

Institutional investors have stepped in too. Various popular institutions like Harvard, Yale, and Stanford University have put up Bitcoin investment funds as well as other projects in the Blockchain technology. Financial institutions like Nasdaq, Fidelity, and Bakkt are also coming in to facilitate easier crypto trading by institutional investors.

Currently, there were around 25 million people worldwide used Bitcoin in everyday's life, and 13,589 places worldwide are currently receiving bitcoin. Do you think this is not enough to reach mainstream adoption considering there is a small supply of bitcoin and uneven distribution?

The e-commerce sector in Italy is expanding. According to the 2017 statistics, nearly half the total number of Internet users in the world have purchased something online at least once. This trend seems to be popular in China, the USA, Germany, as well as in Italy.

Dominance of E-Commerce

Italy is rated as one of the most active European nations in terms of purchases of goods and services by electronic means. Furthermore, according to the statistics, 68% of Internet users are already accustomed to e-commerce.

It is also interesting to notice, making a reference to the peculiar Italian reality, the most frequent orders are related to travel (air tickets and hotel reservations), free time activities (with particular attention to shows and bets), health, fashion, beauty, the food industry, furniture, and the technology sector.

In any case, the general propensity to increase the volume of purchases made via the Internet evolves in a tight connection with the online payment sector, with all the repercussions with regard to security of purchases and privacy, and with the relative adjustment of operators.

Crypto as an Easy Method for Online Payments

E-commerce in 2019 seems to be developing even faster, with the most credible and most commonly used online payment systems by Internet users being:

● Credit Card
● Bank Transfer
● Cash on Delivery
● PayPal
● Prepaid Cards
● Virtual Currency (Bitcoin)

The IT sector is at the forefront of bitcoin adoption. However, other areas of online business have started to feel that cryptos are the future of online payment.

Bitcoin Acceptance

Let’s consider some complex statistics suggesting that bitcoin won’t go anywhere in the future. According to one study, 33% of European respondents interviewed in 2016 had the opinion that digital currencies represented the future of online shopping. The world goes digital.

In other research, statistics disclosed that the number of bitcoins in circulation grew steadily and reached about 16.42 million in June 2017. Besides, the data size of all global bitcoin transactions is estimated to make up 85 gigabytes as of September 2016. It seems crypto is getting popular. European investments in the bitcoin mining sector amounted to about $69 million. There also was a further investment of $34 million in the development of digital wallets bitcoin.

New Word in Comfort

There is no doubt that such huge popularity and adoption of the fintech is caused by its convenience in use and other benefits. Bitcoin offers so many advantages to e-commerce that it seems to be perfectly made for this. It increases the speed of instant money transfer. And the customer doesn't have to enter sensitive data like card details, pin number, etc. As there are no sensitive or confidential data, there are no security concerns as well, making the system almost impossible to hack.

Blockstream co-founder and Bitcoin developer Luke Jr has proposed that the Bitcoin block size be reduced to 300kb temporarily. A report says he has already written the code for the shrinking of the block size. This may be motivated by an effort to maintain network integrity by reducing block size and increasing transaction fees.

Miners, the group of people who verify transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain are incentivized by paying a small fee for every Bitcoin transaction they verify. As a matter of fact, transactions are sometimes prioritized based on the fees attached to them especially when there are several transactions waiting to be processed.

Although they also get block rewards (currently 6 BTC) for mining blocks of transactions, this reward is halved every four years, which raises concerns that the network may not be secured by miners when block rewards become negligible in years to come unless fees are raised to continue to as incentive.

Although the reduction is temporary and the reason isn’t clearly stated, this may be the reason for the concerns, but they are contrary to the problems the Bitcoin network is actually facing. A major challenge to the scalability of Bitcoin has been the block size limit of 1mb which drastically reduces the number of transactions it can process in a second.

This has been the weak point Roger Ver, a prominent Bitcoin Cash supporter has used to say the Bitcoin Cash network is better than Bitcoin’s due to the small block size. The block size limit actually caused the fork of Bitcoin Cash from the main Bitcoin blockchain in 2017. The question is, how is a further reduction from 1mb to 300kb going to help Bitcoin to scale?

The cryptocurrency industry is experiencing growth right now and its future is getting brighter as institutional investors are getting into the market. Clearly, scalability will be a major determinant of which cryptocurrency gets favored and the industry does not want to leave the number one cryptocurrency behind.

The developers of all people should know this so we can only assume they have plans to make Bitcoin scale, so the temporary reduction may be to carry out a few experiments. The proposal has not been approved any way so we’ll wait and see what happens with the proposal. Meanwhile, what do you think the reduction will do to Bitcoin?
