I do not think anyone believe its a bubble aside from some people who have no economics knowledge and just talk on a FUD sense because they lost on getting in on early. Those people who call bitcoin a bubble also are the same people who keep saying "I wish I invested back when it was $100" or so. I have been in bitcoin world for over 5 years now and ever since I started I have seen many people calling bitcoin bubble and every time they call it a bubble bitcoin rebounds back and breaks the ATH levels. So not worry and just carry on.

The term bubble is being used with the sense of "something is growing big without proper reason for its growth". If something is growing along with proper back-up, that is the actual growth which is just the opposite of bubble. Internet has proved its worth over time hence it is not a bubble.

It all depends on what you call a crisis, are we going towards another financial crisis like 2008 ?
I doubt that, the financial world is a lot safer these days because they know that there will always be a crisis and they are smarter today than they were in 2008 because for the first time in history they got bailed out by the teeth of their profits and they really screwed up insanely so they can't really give out another problem like that.

They really needed this long bull run in order to fix everything but one more big crash and they will not have any money left to continue what they are doing right now, financial business' really want to make money for themselves before anyone else and another crash will destroy them so they will not risk their own pocket for the sake of making more money, they rather keep making decent money than risk their money.

Depends on how you want to run with it. If you want a legit business you can't have a business with no licenses, however there are billions of websites in the world that has no licenses or even pays taxes, they work like that until they get caught which actually hurts even more than actually starting out legit.

Now this is just for regular websites that makes money on adsense or whatever, you are here telling us that you want to create a casino for crypto and you do not want to have a license, now those types of websites exists as well however they do not make any sense what so ever considering you are dealing with other peoples money and there is provably fair everywhere, you might as well get a license too so you can be an actual legit website.

Embiid has always been a bit too much type of guy but unfortunately no matter how good he gets and how awesome he plays he will never be MVP levels of good. The game just evolved away from the big guy and there is no way it comes back thanks to embiid. Embiid is a great force down in the post but the game is just too quick to allow embiid to have the time he needs to play with the ball.

Shaq had that hakeem had that all the big greats had that, they didn't had the game fire too quickly in the shot clock. We need to see a way of changing the way sixers play and whole league needs to not adapt to what sixers are doing in order to even put Embiid on the discussion. Right now we had a russell westbrook who made a second tripple double season in a row that lost to james harden on mvp race. Winning mvp is that much hard.

Best exchange kinda depends on what you want to do. If you want to just purchase bitcoin than your own local localbitcoin or exchange websites are the best options because it creates a great ease of use for you and makes it a lot faster and less stressful to get it. If you want to do daily trading and profit from buying and selling than binance has been great for everyone because it has great volume and it has a lot of coins which would mean decent options to trade daily.

Moreover, if you want to invest and just keep it there for future uses than having coinbase or even (I know it sounds silly) freebitco.in can actually be great. Coinbase because its one of the biggest out there and freebitco.in because it has %4 or so interest rate for keeping your coins there which is a first in bitcoin as far as I know.

You are in one of the greatest places for that, bitcointalk has been as old as bitcoin and it has been providing with new information (good or bad quality) forever. I think you need to really memorize everything you read here, you can then go check reddit as well because that has a lot of promising information there as well and you can check cointelegraph for the coin of your choice or just learn whats new in the crypto world and so forth. However no matter how many places you check the biggest currently happening information will always be here, you need to check the topic of whatever you are interested and people will say whatever they think of it.

It will be never known what bitcoin will do and when it will do it. Lets face it after all we have went against in bitcoin prices that in the end we are not really feeling anything when something happens. For example will you ever be surprised if bitcoin went to 5k tomorrow ? Or will you be really surprised if it went to $9k tomorrow ? We are talking about a difference of 100% change from $5k to $9k and yet both would be really possible for us and we wouldn't be even slighly shocked from that.

Yes, we would get really hyped and happy if it reached to $9k however we wouldn't be surprised. I think we need to calm our horses on trying to predict bitcoin prices for like 3-4 months later, thats not remotely possible.

$10K is a big amount to "gamble" with altcoins, if you are interested in investment and what not I suggest you start with stocks first, stocks are a lot stable and they do not make you rich overnight but they are not "gambles" that you can lose your money right away, you will have a chance to win some small amounts or lose some small amounts but nothing major like we have in crypto world.

You can read some books that will teach you how to trade stocks from professional retired hedge fund managers that has done this for decades. As soon as you feel like you are ready for crypto because you have done well for yourself in stocks than you can try to research all coins you see and check out what does what and decide yourself.

This can't be said enough, you can see bitcoin going down a bit but we have seen it going up and down so much that just panicking on the first drop is really insane. Just wait it out, we had so many drops in the market that we are down insanely compared to December, either December was just too much to handle for us or we are just going thru one of the worst days of crypto world and I really really really do not believe crypto world can get any worse than this.

Yes, this is actually the rock bottom for crypto in total so we are staying in the best days of bitcoin purchasing (and all other coins), if you invest smartly on coins that you can actually trust than it will skyrocket when a proper bull run happens even if it doesn't reach all time high prices it can go a lot like x3 or x4 before it even reaches the all time high price.

I dislike the fact that we are so down however I enjoy the cheap coins to buy, just wish I had some more money to get into it a lot deeper.

Maybe if there was some sort of limitations on gambling websites on how much of your bankroll you can lose on one day but that is just bad business practice, why wouldn't they allow you to gamble all your money away if you are not responsible, you are losing your money and they are taking that money as a business profit.

All the above, if you can create an imaginary limit and just gamble accordingly and leave when you lose certain amounts than you can actually have a shitty day but still leave with small amount lost. You can come back on next day and keep doing whatever it is you were doing and the results could be a lot better. In gambling nothing sound realistic as per when I was sharing few of my gambling moments, my friends have teased me back how that was possible. Similarly, only gamblers do feel the pain of all the gambling problems and for the outside people, they are just jokes and unrealistic.

When I checked last time, onehash provides mma fights at least I remember seeing connor mcgregor vs someone there. Sportsbet.io also provides mma if I remember correctly. These are truly one of the top notch bitcoin sports betting wbesites out there, you can't go wrong with selecting these websites. I like onehash a bit more over other websites because they do not give their own odds or anything, you basically bet against other people.

When I first played there I saw great amazing odds and played a game for a high odd and than when the game was over I went over to check what I got and I didn't see anything major, so of course as confused I went to talk and learned that you play against other people betting not against the house so odds change until the game starts, doesn't matter where you got in, it matters where the bet was closed.

It is because bitcoin is facing a valuation against dollar and not with it. For example when bitcoin falls down in price altcoins follow, thats correlation. However bitcoin is going against the dollar and not with it. So when dollar goes down that means bitcoin will go up because you bet against each other. That is why most people are bullish on gold and bitcoin, same idea.

If you invest in bitcoin for a long term in the end even if your purchasing power doesn't get better, the amount of dollar you get rises because when dollar gets devalued, bitcoin gets more valuable against it, so in 10 years bitcoin will most definitely be higher than this price however it is important to know how higher, will it affect our purchasing power or not.

Even today the best options are still the big coins. Those big guns are here to stay and they will not go away anytime soon so we will have to check them out at first. No other investment options are not returning back as how crypto currencies are doing. If you calculate from bitcoins down in the beginning of 2015 to ending of 2017, I am sure no other options will match that ROI.

Coins like bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, dash, ripple and coins that big, if you invest in stuff like that you may have some big swings because they do get affected a lot and prices drop or goes up really quickly and swings are high however they are the ones that will eventually go up as well, price will recover for these coins and they will increase in the long term investors so if you really want to invest in something, invest on the top coins.

I believe major coins that are in top 10 or so right now will be alive in 2125 let alone 2025, I am very bullish on the futures of the coins, now yes EOS and so forth might not be really around and might be overthrown by some other coin however coins that are also very old like bitcoin, ethereum, ripple, dash and litecoin will stay because these coins have been providing us with steady results ever since they came up years ago.

Specially bitcoin, it will never get old and it will never be outdone by any other coin, and its only 7 years or so away from 2025 so we are not that far away, it will be around and it will be really expensive compared to prices right now. Bitcoin will certainly make 2025 as one its another great year but not sure about most other coins which are living only due to hypes and not due to real world applications.

This looks great I wish it was not just for the moment you join but you could also check previous times as well, I would love to see some sort of like weekly or daily or at leas hourly results without having the website open at all times. However no matter what it is still better than nothing, ever since I opened the red has been ahead of the curve and beating green for a while now, I think this shows one of the reasons why the price is going down, the regular "there are more people selling than people who are willing to buy" which makes sense however we don't know why people are not buying. This is great but can be improved on as well, I think with improvements this can become a huge website in crypto space.

It was going incredibly well and stayed up for too long.
I was honestly starting to believe that bitcoin will have a new rush of people getting in and altcoins will increase following and we would have a great bull run just because bitcoin prices stayed up for so long than one morning I wake up and BAM ! In the past bitcoin has ignored many such big factors and stayed strong and claimed up new peaks on its own.

I think its insane that bitcoin prices keeps plummeting one after the other whenever we get a bull run, not sure why this keeps happening almost all the time, people were bullish on the price as well and everyone was like me expecting good things to really happen on bitcoin but I suppose some rich people did not want that at all.

I am not sure what caused it tho. I think the price is recovering a bit like you said and we can't just call it a return to bear market however we don't know what caused the drop at all. Hence we can't be sure what will happen next without knowing what happened before.

If the price goes down once again and than goes to $6k or what not we will just stay and watch like its some sort of horror movie. We need to figure out what causes this incredible drops so we can actually stop these from happening. We need to figure out who sells coins for what reason when these happens to actually participate before hand and get ready for these downs. However causes these sudden drops they do manage to keep it a secret for a good long time.

One main thing we should not forget is the miners. Miners spend money on hardware and on electricity and on land and whatever else to mine bitcoins, which means it costs them some sort of money to actually mine those coins, when the halving happens miners will get a half the money they get and with an increased difficulty probably.

With increased difficulty and less bitcoins to mine you will see that miners will not sell their coins for cheap and put them at a high note, after bitcoin prices increase and reach the price miners are fine with selling than it will have hard time to go below that unless some whale gets them, even today when bitcoin goes down insanely it only goes down to miners break even prices, so we need to calculate how much it costs miners to get those coins when halving happens and we can be sure what the bottom is.

That has been said many times over around anywhere investment and gambling is talked.
Not just bitcoin, not just bitcointalk, not only about crypto, about EVERYTHING that involves making money. Because risk talking level should be under the control which means calculated and affordable (on the event of expected losses) risks are highly recommended.

You can invest what you can afford to lose, anything more than that and you are putting yourself in jeopardy. I have heard and read about people who buy bitcoin with their credit cards and even sell some stuff like their cars to get more money out of this "gold rush" of crypto price increases. Don't do stuff like that ever no matter what.

I was in college and I have heard about it in 2009 from reddit if I am not wrong but I wasn't interested in it at the time because I did not know what I could do with it and saw it more like world of warcraft golds than real money.

Moreover, I did not consider the value behind it. I have joined in 2012-2013ish and even than I used it as a payment gateaway and just got paid and used that money in fiat. Never really even consider holding my coins until last year, I just spend what I get even if its 50 dollars or 5 thousand dollars, I am just like that. It results with horrible days in life like today but it also results in great days of life when you do crazy stuff.
