If people are still storing crypto on exchanges, even after reading about all these hacks and seeing how people struggle to fight against exchanges in court and STILL not get their money back, then I think people will never learn.

They know it's bad, but they still do it. They know it's wrong but they can't change their habits. Good world for hackers to live in.

That is absolutely untrue, there have been coincidences but no, the fee has always stayed more or less the same in satoshi, but you feel the pinch because of Bitcoin's ever increasing price. In fact, that's also not accurate. Ever since new upgrades, Segwit being the most obvious, fees have been decreasing in terms of satoshi. More transactions inside a block and smaller transactions so of course fees are cheaper.

What kind of wallet lets you set fees in USD? That's a very strange wallet.

Look here. I'm a holder for the long term just like many others, but let's face it. If we have to tell people not to be greedy and not cash out, then we might as well just make Bitcoin a forced hold. Don't worry about what others are doing! If they don't sell, then there is no market. And there's no more place for us to enter and reenter. Bitcoin can grow without this intervention and in fact will become stronger.

And you're also mistaken about this being the longest bear market ever. Seriously? We only saw 3000 low. And now we are at 35% of ATH. That's so good to have.

And where exactly did you do this investment? I am in profit in all the sites I invest in currently, (whether directly in bankroll or indirectly via dividend returns on casino profit). And what do you mean "not being able to play properly"? If you invest in a bankroll you don't even have to play.

And then you say you don't know if sites offer, but you said you had past experience. So which is which now?

Well done all of you guys! I spent a few weeks at the top I remember, but then after taking risks that didn't pay off too many weeks in a row, I couldn't even climb back up into the Top 5!

But this was a really great group of people, I enjoyed it a lot and it's definitely cost effective and something I hope to do again next season. To be honest, I am a La Liga follower but this season may have converted me to like English football a little.

Good game, everyone!

We have a strange match tonight. Valencia already knocked out of Europa League so now they must fight to qualify for CL via the La Liga, but they are still in fifth place with two more matches to go. They can still do it, if they win tonight, they will be on level points, and if we beat Getafe tonight they will most likely jump above to 4th place, and then they only need to win their final game to qualify.

So should we do them the favor and beat Getafe? But that would give them spirit when they meet us in the Copa del Rey final!

Lesser known coins are not just the only factor, because I can show you that 95% of coins in existence are lesser known, but the ones that have reaped profits are not in those 95%.

That is token economics logic sure, but you know, Bitcoin as the most illogical coin in price rice continues to prove everyone else wrong time after time.

It's not just about logic of economy, it's also about fundamental strengths of the coin.

I think a lot of people who don't live in a country like mine where we have a lot of financial structures to help people do things don't realise that it's easy to do a lot of things via a third party now, as long as you're willing to pay someone a fee somewhere.

Bank accounts, buying houses and even islands. You can even use a trust to help you get your lottery money if you win lotteries and don't want to reveal your name.

I think, sometimes, the altcoin chose me. I have quite a few altcoins to be honest, but only a few that I've really regarded well and only the same few alts that I keep adding to every time I have extra money (not counting Bitcoin which is still always about 80 or even 90% of whatever crypto I buy). Let's just say it's Monero and Litecoin that's right at the top. And I didn't so much as choose them as they made themselves available to me, because of where I chose to visit and where I chose to learn about crypto

Good move, from my point of view. I have the same concept from when I started buying my first coin. I never saw the 2017 bull run coming but it was okay, I wasn't ready to sell yet, and I wasn't ready to get out yet. I knew when I entered that I was going to be in it for the long term. Of course I sometimes regret I didn't sell at the peak and then re-entered at bottom so I could triple or even quadruple my investment but at the end of the day, my plan was always many years rather than many months.

Um, just look at the two responses above yours and you can realize that there ARE some companies able to do it, and have already done it. The four exchanges in the response just above yours and then all the exchanges that have licenses in Japan. The government in Japan has issued licenses to those exchanges approved by all these regulators and one of the requirements is they must use the insurance as required by the government. So there you go. Please pay attention my friend!

Greed is good, as they say in Wall Street, but what people don't realize is that they don't understand the nature of greed. Being greedy for wealth and power, must be matched by the ability and smarts to get there.

If you're just greedy like 99% of altcoin traders, then you have no idea where you want your dreams to be, you place it way above what can ever be achieved, and then you pay for it when bubbles burst. Again and again.

Watch this cycle end, then see again the whines in 2 years;)

This is already done in Japan since they introduced cryptocurrency license for exchanges. All exchanges must get insurance from an approved insurer, to insure deposits made by customers. Just like in a real bank in most countries. IF anything happens, insurance gets paid, and customers receive back the money. I understand that it has worked but it results in high premiums from the insurance, which is passed on as costs/fees to the customers.

Forget volumes, they just want their cut. This is precisely why I think IEOs are not much better than ICOs. Projects will PAY to get approved by exchanges. And exchanges are getting fees paid upfront plus a percentage of the sales so why would they want to deny projects completely? They would even help projects dress up their offering to make it LOOK better but underneath it will still be the same poor project, but you know, as long as it attracts investors.

If we forget about everything they did or failed to do in Premier League, then yes, Arsenal deserve to win Europa. But the same can be said for Chelsea. Fine, Chelsea did finish in top 4 unlike Arsenal, but the difference is just a few points. They were both equally terrible, who can forget Chelsea losing 6-0 to City? So I think the best teams in Europe outside CL did end up in Europa and the final reflects that. But neither deserve the cup more than the other. I personally hope Arsenal win.

As much as I'd like to believe it, actual token owners who are also actual supporters of the project don't exist anymore. Especially not if it was an ICO token. It's a conflicting concept anyway, to own tokens/coins for a project that had to be bought, because people who support ICO projects at the end of the day are seeking only profit. So as a bounty hunter, if your bounties were part of ICOs, then you know it's just a matter of when to sell. You already lose as soon as you start (time and effort).

You know, if it is a castle or real estate, I probably think that is a good deal. Problem also with cars is the resale value, you immediately lose money if you buy a car thinking to resell it. Of course, I guess people who want a Lambo wouldn't ever think of selling it. Castle in Scotland only costs 6 million dollars? I didn't know castles were so cheap!

Maybe the next prize lottery can be an island home;)

Actually one of my first crypto wallets was a mobile one, because I didn't know how to use a proper wallet that was a light client (SPV). I started out using stupid web wallets, then when I learnt I needed my own wallet, I tried mobile. But you're right, I believe it's not as secure, mainly because I don't trust my phone apps, is one thing, but also I'm just always afraid to lose my phone.

So now I stick to desktop SPV clients.

I'm pretty happy. I'll be much happier if it keeps above 6k until Monday though. And then let's see if we can maintain above 5500 for the next few months. Retracing is almost guaranteed, as usual, and 10% drop should be normal, but anything more than that and then we risk reentering below 5k and lower. Not that it's a problem short term. But I'd really like to end half year above 5k, 6k if possible.

Exactly! I honestly don't get it when people get scammed once, twice, and then they suddenly think it's different another time around because some big platform and some big influencer says it will get different. Just because an IEO is vetted by an exchange doesn't make it not a scam. Weren't there plenty of ICOs backed by big guys who all turned out to be scams?
