Hello all;
I used to have a little btc which sold and use in 2017-2018 , i had lost a good portion of it trying to profit trading with altcoins (bad option).
Now a days i dont have any crypto as i have used the crypto i had in 2017-2018 as my principal funds, i spent it on good and cash out the rest ( a little at a lost but i needed that money) as a student ive used it as my principal money.
Last month i spent my lasts sathosis, owning now 0.0000

But after doing some research and thinking a lot im reconsidering to buy a little (like 100-300dollars) and hold it.

Maybe selling goods i dont use i can buy a little more..
Ive spent some of that crypto in collectibles which maybe i sell here

What do you think people? go all in btc or diversify a little on alts?

Thanks in advance

If you can get $100-$300, then you can move to the next step. You can buy all of the amounts for bitcoin, or you can divide it between buying bitcoin and altcoin, so you have a chance to make both profits from bitcoin and altcoin. I suggest the second option, which is you can buy bitcoin for half money and use the other half to buy altcoin.

The altcoin you can but don't have to be a high price, but you can buy low price coins but have the potential to increase. But for what altcoin you can buy, that will depend on your analysis, and I don't want to suggest the coin because I am afraid that if I recommend the wrong coin, you will get losses. So you should search for yourself to find the right coins.

Only ourselves can stop us from playing gambling because the rest of other people who stop only temporarily. If we want to stop gambling then all of that must start from ourselves having that intention. I have been motivated several times to stop gambling, but nothing can really make an impact. or if not, you can go to a psychologist when it's in the severe category

Perhaps, in one day, you will have the motivation to stop so you can prevent more losses in gambling. Indeed, to stop gambling will need an effort from ourselves, and after we succeed in quitting, we can try to suggest other people stop playing gambling because we care about that person. We don't want to see him lose so much money, and that is why when it's happening to our friends, we will do the same. Perhaps, some gamblers are too shy to go to a psychologist because they don't want their problem to be known by more people and they think that they can solve their problem by themselves. But the fact, they cannot do that alone.
8603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Impact on gambling on: November 06, 2019, 01:20:47 AM
For that option, I think luck will give the highest impact, but all of the options will include inside the gambling. If we don't have one of those options, I think we cannot survive in gambling. But luck will be the most important thing that every gambler must have regard to winning the games. Without having luck, then that will be impossible to win so that that luck will be necessary for gambling.

After luck, it will need discipline and then monetary power. Discipline will also be needed in gambling because without discipline, and we will use more and more money to play. And that will impact the monetary power we use.
8604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [What IF] Part 4 on: November 06, 2019, 12:26:20 AM
I will not do that because if that is a dream, I will consider that it will not happen, and I better try playing gambling without thinking about that dream. If that dream becomes real, I think that dream will become true by itself. I will try to enjoy the game only and not hoping that my dream will happen.

Let say I dream I win big money on dice games. After I wake up, I still playing dice games, but I don't hope or expect to win on the dice game because I know to win a dice game will be too hard for me, so I will let that happen by itself. I think the illustration would be like that.
8605  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: there are still many who invest in cryptocurrency? on: November 05, 2019, 06:25:27 AM
I am sure that many people still invest in cryptocurrency, but I am not sure if they are investing in the ICO or IEO because ICO and IEO will not be profitable for them. I guess right now, and the investor will choose the coin which has good progress in the market because they have a terrible experience to invest in ICO from the last year.

Even if they invest in ICO or IEO, they will throw a large amount of money into that project because I am sure that the investor now becomes careful, very carefully to select the project. Some of them use their money to invest in bitcoin because they believe that bitcoin will be rise again and will hit the very highest price.
8606  Economy / Speculation / Re: One more dump before halving? on: November 05, 2019, 05:27:53 AM
I hope if somehow we are going to see a dump for bitcoin price, it will not going too deep. Perhaps, the price will adjust to $7k-$8k, and then after the price reached that price, it will start to increase and hit the highest rate in the nearest of halving. But if there is no chance for dump, I hope the price can slowly reach the higher price and break $10k first and stay at that price for a while.

Everything can happen in the last six months before halving, so the dump can happen too, but I think it still a mystery to us to predict what will be going on with the bitcoin price.
For the beginning of this month, it seems that the price of bitcoin is still at the level of $ 9000, and sometimes, the price is almost back to the level of $ 8000, but I think the situation is still stable. if before the bitcoin pump price returns dump, I also feel that it will be at the level of $ 8000, and the worst is the level of $ 7000. but as people say, it is an opportunity to own bitcoin. it's like a discount before the pump.

If the price can down into $8000, then that will be a discount, but if the price stays at a rate now and start to increase, then we might miss the last chance to buy more bitcoin. Bitcoin price seems to get stable at $9000, but who knows, that will go just for temporary because we don't have the right sign to predict where bitcoin price wants to go. We could only wait for a while, buy more bitcoin if the price finally gets down, and hold it again until the price can jump to a higher rate. But if the price will only get down back, we need to have more patience.
8607  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will Stellar (XLM) do it again ? on: November 05, 2019, 04:09:56 AM

So it's way too far for stellar to reach $1 because that will need to have a massive buy order that will happen at the market. But I don't know what will happen if the bull market comes, perhaps the price can get a big pump too. But if that news can help the price to increase slowly, I think the situations will be changed so it could have an impact on the price itself.

But still, that will need big support from the dev, the team, and of course, the community to spreading the benefits of stellar to public. Let's wait for the next bull market so we can know how much stellar price can increase. I still have some stellar, too, like other people, and I still wait for the price to rise.

Fortunately, I don't have the experience like you. I never gamble more than the money I can afford to lose. But you do a good thing by texts him to warn him to stop gamble, but unfortunately, he didn't listen to you and cause him to lose his money. I think that is not your mistake because you already warn him to stop, but he continues to gamble.

For playing gamble, I think we already know that we should prevent the greedy that can make us lose more money than we can imagine. Perhaps, you should remember this as your lesson, and controlling yourself will be the best thing that you can do in gambling to prevent another loss.
8609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Donating the Gambling profits on: November 05, 2019, 01:32:08 AM
Some users donate big after big wins. I remember samiest in duckdice donating a lot to a school in the Philippines.

If many more gamblers can donate some of their win money, that will help more people, especially if we can say that we get the money from doing jobs that paying with bitcoin. That will help bitcoin to be spread among the people, but we don't have to say that the money is from gambling Grin

But if we cannot get a win in gambling, then I think we don't have to wait until we can get some win money to donate to other people because we could still donate some money to people who needed that money, at least we can help them to buy food.
8610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: November 05, 2019, 12:28:18 AM

I think it's only for professional gambling, they play regularly, from the capital and other calculations. so gambling becomes their passion, and they can survive from gambling. but for us, gambling is just entertainment because we don't spend a lot of money on it. I've tried living from gambling for the last few years, but it's difficult. because I get more losses than wins.

You're right. So you tried it before to make a living from gambling. Even though you get more losses than wins, at least, you have those experiences so you can tell and suggest to other people not to try to do so because that will be too hard for us if we want to try like you. I never imagine if I am trying to do the same thing as you, perhaps I cannot survive in gambling, and I will spend all the money I have. I think gamblers who can make a living from gambling and make gambling as a profession have something that we don't know so they can survive and success in using gambling for life.
8611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I need your advice! on: November 04, 2019, 05:59:44 AM
I have mentioned a project called Sessia (kicks). The project offers something like incentive. After each purchase, you get Cashbacks, and your friends can see your receipt in the Feed. What's more, you get kickbacks from all their purchases in the same shop.
What do you think guys about its future. I need your advice that should I invest in this project? Kindly suggest me.
https://www.sessia.com/

Here is what I can suggest to you.

The price of kicks is 1 KICKS ≈ 0.00159777 ETH so that you can check on your money. If you have 2 ETH, you can buy with 1 ETH or less than 1 ETH to invest in the project. But that if you are sure that the project will get their best time to increase which I doubt about that. Many projects still struggling to survive at this moment, and I don't think that this project will give you profit.

But I do not strongly suggest you invest in that project because the project is a new project which they need to prove that their project is perfect for competing with the others. If you still want to try your luck, then you should only use the money you can afford because no one will know if the project can succeed in the future or not.

8613  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Qualification for Professional Trader on: November 04, 2019, 03:56:52 AM
Perhaps, they have some point to determine if someone is a professional trader, so by giving them your portfolio, they will determine if you can be one of the professional traders. But the portfolio cannot be a sign for someone as the professional trader because that person must have a high-skill to be the pro trader.

But after I watch some videos about copy trade in eToro, it seems that the risk is very higher because we don't know how good that traders who want we copy. We only choose them as the base to trade, and if somehow they lose, we get a lose too. I see that the system can work well if we found a trader who has high skills, but still, the risk will be there.
8614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your Dice gambling strategy? on: November 04, 2019, 02:26:26 AM
it should indeed play gambling in any form and anywhere including on the internet circulating sites just for fun, not to be the main income. if you are addicted to gambling will be very dangerous if you can not control it properly. people who are addicted to gambling and often lose, it will be very curious and keep trying it.

Yes, that is what we need to realize. In gambling, we will feel difficult to make money because gambling not designed as a source of income. But people are reading and seeing that some of them can win the game and get a lot of money. And that attracts them to play longer because they want to make money too.

If they realize about the luck will be needed in gambling, then they should know that they cannot win the game if they don't know when the luck comes. But most of us still playing dice with so many strategies or methods which can allow us to win. Even if you claim that you have the best strategy that will work in a dice game, it still hard to win if you don't have luck.
8615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's worse: cigar addiction or gambling addiction on: November 04, 2019, 01:31:19 AM
Choosing between cigar addiction and gambling addiction is like choosing between health problems and money problems. One can smoke a cigar and gamble within reason, but in terms of addiction, health problems would be far worse, especially if one gets something like lung or tongue cancer from cigar addiction.

Even though both addictions can give a worse thing for us, we don't have to go deeper on that both addiction. Yes, health will become an important thing that needs our attention because without having a healthy body, we cannot do anything we want. But addiction to gambling will not be good for us too because that will not give us a chance to make money.

If we care about our life, we need to reduce addiction in a cigar. And if we care about our money, we need to reduce addiction to gambling. But if we don't care about our life and our money, then you can still smoke a cigar while you can playing gambling too. You have your choice, and you know what the consequences are, so be careful.
8616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If You Win Big Will You Remember Your Losses on: November 04, 2019, 12:20:37 AM
I have a friend who wins 15,000 pesos or $300 the first time keno games in an offline betting outlet, he is so happy and very ecstatic about his winnings, I congratulate him and ask him how long before he hit the jackpot, he told me that it took him 7 months and he is betting daily at 100  pesos or $3 so his losses are bigger than winnings.

But surprisingly he did not calculate his losses all he cares about is he finally wins, how about you do you remember your losses when you win a big amount and do you calculate your losses and ask if the winning is worth it?

If I win big , I guess I would remember my losses as the past losses only got me to where I am. They made me strategize my game, Play safe, minimize losses and always set a budget.

We can say that, but I guess that is not many gamblers who will remember their losses in the past because they will be too happy to celebrate their winning. I already have seen that happen to my friend before he wins. After he wins the game, I tried to remind him about his losses, but he said he doesn't remember how much his losses in the past because now he can win much money.

But no matter if we win or lose, it is better to remember how much money we spent on gambling games so we can know when is the time to stop playing the games. By doing that, we can prevent ourselves from the addicting that could happen to us in the future.
8617  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin in High School Syllabus on: November 03, 2019, 05:46:00 AM
Finally, bitcoin education will be introduced in high school. I'm impressed with that. Yes, by giving and teaching information about bitcoin, it helps the adoption process in the younger people so they can prepare their future. Those four video questions will be a great time to have a discussion with the student as I am sure that the student will have a big curiosity about the new technology.

But perhaps, we need to see how good the results after that so there will be more bitcoin education in high school in many countries. Once this education success, the other high school will do the same for their student, and that will make more people or young generation will know about bitcoin, and in the end, they will use bitcoin too.
8618  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trading or Marketing/Promotion on: November 03, 2019, 04:34:54 AM
I must say a very big thank you to all forum members because I have learnt a lot from their different opinions however, am still not stable on the part I should actually stick to Trading I ask about most of the responds are discouraging about losing funds high risk and all the rest in Marketing aspect I find out that most of the IEO/ICO turned scam in most cases. The question is I really picked interest in Trading but my intention was to work as marketer/Promoter and get paid in the crypto industry but based on different opinions and some research I can't really tell which of the above will be suitable. I really need opinions here thanks.

First of all, you must determine in advance the interests you like. In my opinion, Trading is a challenging activity. But not everyone can succeed in trading. Because many things must be learned before trading. To be sure, you must be prepared to lose money when trading.


The important thing here is he needs to learn more about trading so he can trade well like other people, and he can make a profit in the short term or long term. But if he wants to promote the project, he needs to realize that now many projects become a scam and run away the money they've got from the investor. So that will not be advisable if he still promotes the project while he can still make a profit from trading.

If he can learn some basics lessons of trading, he can slowly make a profit depend on the market moves. And now, we are in the changing trend from the bear market into the bull market, and I think his profit will be bigger if he continues to learn about trading.
8619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Donating the Gambling profits on: November 03, 2019, 03:12:18 AM
Have you ever thought of donating the gambling profits to a charitable cause ?  Sometime people won a big lottery or very high amount of money from betting & gambling games.  Do you ever thought of being generous and helping the poor with this money ?

Any decent person should always have charity and donations on their mind, especially when you are comfortable enough with money that you can afford to go to a casino and risk losing some. I feel like people in casinos, or in big online bitcoin/cryptocurrency gambling websites, are in the best position to donate to charity because they are already almost accepting loss when they gamble, it's like they enjoy losing money, if not the risk of it.

Instead of losing money to online casinos, crypto gamblers may find more fulfilment in losing money to charity.

I think if we are donating some money to charity, we can get satisfaction because of helping other people. It's not about the money, but it's a feeling to share something with them so they can feel happiness like what we feel.

I am sure that many gamblers who still donate to other people no matter if they use the win money or the additional money. When we can get satisfaction at one time, we will want to share more at another time. So when we can win from gambling, we will donate some or half of the win money to share happiness.
8620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: November 03, 2019, 01:46:07 AM
Do not make gambling a permanent profession because it is slowly destroying your life in vain, but it is undeniable that many people make gambling a profession but can only enjoy the results of victory in a short time and finish it quickly too, and I experienced it that way and finally lost it all.
and those who only seek income from gambling as their profession will eventually switch professions after losing everything.

Hard to say that because many people who get in the gambling business will use gambling as their work. They will think that they can win someday, and they will hit the jackpot too because they see that some people can win big money from gambling. That will keep them from staying in the gambling place and play many gambling games.

That person will not realize the possibility for them to win because they only think about the win money and pretending they will be the winner. That will make them lose more and more money because they will not calculate how much money they will spend on gambling games.
