Well yes if you are in any business or service where you need to constantly accept and or send payments then before the fork you should stop all transactions. Like the exchanges have stopped accepting bitcoin withdrawals and deposits 4 before the fork and would resume after a few new blocks have been mined already on the new chains. There is replay protection but to be safe I suggest you to not transaction in any bitcoin before the forking is complete.

I do trade but on a mid to long term basis. But I will try to help you out.

For a newbie a small investment is better than a big one. There will be losses and you will gain experience from your losses. To prevent those from being too big I suggest newbies to start with small amounts before thinking of something big.

Depends on the coins developers and the idea that they are working on. If its unique and the team is real and workign hard then only I invest. However this decision often tends to be a gut feeling which is right or wrong in 50% cases.

 Mainly I HODL specially for bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and ripple. For other ether based tokens that seems to be slowing down development I tend to sell 70-80% , get the profit and hodl the rest.

I dont day-trade so I cannot answer this question.

People are increasing their stash of bitcoin as per the market it seems. However after the fork a dump may happen, but there may not be dump as well - this is because in the next year there will be more forks and people wont sell bitcoins just after the fork. They may hold it for the next upcoming fork. In fact these forks and formation of new altcoins based on bitcoin seems just a hype scheme to increase price of bitcoin and the market seems to be growing but the growth will lead to dump soon.

Every casino needs to have some house edge. It is the advantage that the casino has over the players and they earn from it. I would recommend you to try out crypto-games which has a low house edge. I prefer it because it was one of the first few sites which I have been played in. Again they have a great investment feature which I like where you can invest in the casino bankroll and you would get profits as per your share of the bankroll.

First of all one never share the private key or seed (passphrase) of their wallet with any stranger friend or foe. Because one who has control over the private keys has control over their bitcoins. Technically speaking the coins dont belong to anyone in particular but the owner of the private key. So if that is stolen then the coins are also lost. One can try contacting the owner of the addresses to where to bitcoins were sent but it is highly unlikely that they will return it even if they are found.

Obviously you did just make two different accounts just to shitpost and cheat bounty campaigns. There is no need to try to disapprove of this because its clearly visible from your actions.

What do you expect people here to be? fools like you? sending payments from one address to another address that you control. In any bounty campaign it is not allowed any sort of alternate account & or payment address. People can easily understand from your actions that you simply enrolling alt accounts/address and thus abusing the campaigns.

This is looked down upon in this forum. Also if you retaliate like this then chances of your negative rating being removed (which obviously is not happening anytime soon) is even reduced. Dont even make those false claims about the other address belonging to your friend. People like you should be ashamed of themselves - trying to cheat a bounty campaign just to get some free coins.

First of all learn how to behave and maintain etiquette in this forum and then enroll yourself in any campaign.

What do yo mean altcoins should be bought when important news comes out about them? That is explicitly when the pump occurs and you would want to sell them if you want to get some profit. Buying should be on the dip and not the tip. However you may think otherwise.

The second part of your post is also not correct. There is currently a pump occurring in the price of bitcoin and the altcoins are generally showing a dump. This is a good time to buy some altcoins which you previously could not buy due to high price.

There have been people who are desperately in need to control their gambling urges. This is commonly seen in addicted gamblers and those who dont have any other hobby and have started gambling. They think that they will get lucky and thus place bets more and more such that losses that they incur keep on increasing. They may win some bets but obviously not all bets. Thus they dont learn from their mistakes easily. Rather they keep on repeating the mistakes.

Honestly speaking stop promoting such ponzi schemes. They have become old and look at you trust rating already. This forum is plagued by the number of spammers and scammers who flock here day by day and the condition never improves. If you seriously want to make some money - offer some unique services in the forum that people can use and you will be paid decently for your legitimate work. Even by your rank if you have a decent post quality you can enroll in signature campaigns and earn nicely from it.

I had bought some 1-2 Ether at price of 10USD. But I did not believe that the project would be big in future so I did sell it away after it reached 20USD. However I believe ethereum to be a long term investment now since there are many ICOs happening and all of those using ethereum tokens need ether as transaction fee and gradually if the crypto economy is governed by these services then ethereum will be one of the biggest crypto after bitcoin. Hence it is better to invest ether as long term investment.

The current price trend of altcoins is like usual - unpredictable. The pump in bitcoin is happening and people are buying bitcoin before the fork. So I wold like to reiterate what I always tell people about trading which is patience. Because of the price pump of bitcoin and dump of altcoin you may seem to lose money from investing in altcoins. However after the fork bitcoin will dump and altcoins will rise. So just be patient and hold them for now.

Most gambling sites these days do acquire a licence. If you dont have one then people may consider your site/business as shady.

That depends on what country yo are operating from and the countries the players are logging in the website from. It is illegal in many countries but I am sure there are many workarounds for this 

If you have some scripts to run make sure they are provably fair. That is the biggest part of any online casino and physical casino is that every roll should be random and that randomness should be verifiable by some online/offline roll verifier. Other than that dont buy any domain that is known scam to people.

You can check the status of the transactions which have be done on any block explorer like blockchain.info. Now are yo sure that the sender has not mistaken you address and has honestly sent the money to your address? I suggest you look up your address on a block explorer website and check all transactions - since this is the first transaction for you then it should be listed on top. If there is no transaction shown even when the sender claims that they have sent the coins then there is possibility that they have stolen the money.

When bitcoin reaches its max supply no more coins will me mined anymore. The miners will simply mine the transactions from then on and no more blocks. Now there is no reach to think that the supply will be small for the world population because satoshi has thought of that previously and that is why the limited supply makes it only a more precious asset - hence the price will increase in future and there is no one to stop that. Every person will be abble to theoretically buy bitcoin but the price spikes will happen.

Addiction to gambling only makes understanding the bad effects of gambling to a lesser degree. People tend to think that their decisions are right no matter what even when they realize that they are constantly losing money. In a casino it is true that luck is what matters most and not any tricks - in fact in any provably fair game any trick is a type of cheating. If you play fair then in the long run you will lose for sure.

Honestly speaking why do you people even bother to look into some new coin that appears in the market before doing prior research on it? Is it because everyone here is hungry for free money and willing to grab every airdropped coin like those e-prefix coins that were flooding the forum last 3 weeks?

The name itself derives suspicions because if it was something related to ethereum then the official devs would have confirmed that. Obviously it is a Pump and Dump made by the scammers behind it and the shills that are paid by it.

People who have been with the crypto market for long time now will understand these schemes of scams very easily but the noobs who are easily blinded by vaporware and false claims will fall for it.

Look if you are willing to do trading and earn from it, I suggest you to do proper research on the capitalization and market trends of different coins that you are interested in before you jump into it. Trading needs some practice so please be careful on what you are trading and dont let every thing you see on the internet influence you.

Now for a platform to trade in there are centralized and decentralized exchanges, and obviously decentralized ones (like EtherDelta) are better than centralized ones. But its totally your decision which ones to use. HitBTC, Poloniex, Bittrex are there where you can trade fiat vs bitcoin/altcoin, bitcoin vs altcoin and altcoin vs altcoin

I use HitBTC and if you want to join with my invite, PM me for a link.

I agree that for fiat to make profit of, selling bitcoin after buying is a good option. Bitcoin price currently is above 6k USD and so I dont recommend buying it. Rather one can try to set buying orders at lower prices because a dump will happen soon. After that price will rise again and you can continue to hold bitcoin to sell in future. Other than that buying ethereum is good if you are going to hold it for long term, in short term ethereum may not be that profitable. Dash Ripple and Monero are other coins that you can also try.

Bitcoin cash is an altcoin - lets just accept that and move on. It will never reach the level of what ethereum or litecoin nor will it ever be the second to bitcoin. It is just a pump and dump scheme which got a lot of traction because it was forked from the original bitcoin blockchain. People can buy it but it wont rise anytime soon. And besides it has not official support of people and wont last long. Soon it will reach the lowest values possible and get delisted from exchanges.

Buying bitcoin and selling bitcoin is still profitable. Why do you insist on moving funds to altcoins? Effectively you are selling away bitcoin to buy altcoins. If you have faith in that altcoin then by all means do so but that does not mean price will rise like bitcoin for that specific altcoin in future.

Now there are still methods to do short term bitcoin trading as well. Trading at a difference of 100$ in price is worth it and you can do that too. It does not mean that there will be loss in bitcoin - its totally your own methods of trading and analyzing how you can make profit out it.
