I will not answer this question, because investment and gambling are as different as night and day. The purpose of investment is either to keep the value of your savings, or to increase them. On the other hand, we do gambling in order to get relaxation and for fun. Nothing is more exciting than testing your luck. Investing can be quite boring, unless you are making the investment in crypto-currencies.

The house advantage can be as low as 0.5%. In such cases, you have a 49.5% of winning and 50.5% of losing. The difference is just 1% and if you are lucky, then you may be able to get a good profit. But I will definitely advice you against chasing your losses. Because, sometimes you need to admit that you are just plain unlucky and you need to take a break.

My story is also very similar. I was facing a lot of financial issues a year back. But huge returns from Bitcoin not only helped me to take care of those issues, but also enabled me to engage in a lot of luxuries. I am not expecting 1,300% returns in 2018. But I will be very happy even if Bitcoin gives me 20% returns this year. Can't be too greedy, OK?

I would agree with the first part of your post, but I will have to disagree with the remaining. If you have any doubts, then you can compare the gold and Bitcoin prices side-by-side. You can see that there is absolutely no link between the exchange rates of both the assets. In 2017, when Bitcoin prices increased by 1,300%, the gold prices were more or less stable.

The Indian government must mind their own f***ng business. We are taking a huge risk in investing in Bitcoins and even after that if we get any profit out of it these parasites will demand that we pay a major chunk of our returns as taxes. Either they should make Bitcoin legal, or stop demanding taxes from anyone who is profiting out of BTC.

If you already have Bitcoins, and if more than 20% of your portfolio is made up of Bitcoins, then I would never recommend you to purchase further coins. Because high risk assets should never cross the 20% threshold in ideal cases. Also, you never know whether Bitcoins will go up or down in the future. Already it is facing a lot of competition from alts such as Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Ripple.

Bitcoin was always illegal in Bangladesh, but this is the first time that the authorities are acting against the Bitcoin users. I am worried because in Nepal also the authorities are engaging in a crackdown of the crypto-currency users. Recently the Nepali police arrested more than half a dozen Bitcoin users and charged them with various economic offenses.

Gone are the times when I used to pay around $0.10 for my Bitcoin transactions. Back then, I was hoping that one day Bitcoin will replace fiat cash as the main medium of shopping. But recently the fees shot up to as high as $150 per transaction. Just imagine someone paying $150 as a transaction fee to purchase a burger which costs just $2.

I guess no amount of Bitcoins are good enough for someone to quite gambling. Because greed is an universal condition. Even the richest among the billionaires still want more money for themselves. Almost everyone who gambles for the first time, will go on until their entire amount is used up. They will never stop after 2-3 games, even if they are in profit.

As someone who has lost quite considerable amounts of money in gambling, I guess now I have learnt about the factors which makes gambling so addictive. The reason is that gambling makes use of a condition which is embedded in the human nature - greed. It doesn't matter if you wins or not. Once you start, it is quite difficult for you to stop unless you can control your greed.

I went for Adelaide Strikers after looking at their record for the past few matches. I agree that Brisbane Heat does have quite a few world class players. But what is the point in having these heavy-weights, if they are not preforming? After a few losses in BBL, I got this one right. It was a completely one sided match which was won by the Strikers.

If such a thing ever happens, then I am 100% sure that it will happen in Japan. Because Japan is the only economic super-power which has fully recognized and legalized Bitcoins. In any other country, the payment in Bitcoin will involve a lot of hassles and tax-related complexities. I am not saying that Japan is perfect. But right now, it is the best option we got.

Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant makes a deadly combination for the Golden State Warriors. During the last game, Curry made a total of 38 points, while Durant made 9 assists (highest in the game) and made 20 points. And Durant is on his way to becoming one of the all time greatest players in NBA. Just a few days back, Tony James made the statement that Durant is as good as LeBron James.   

I'd go for Bitcoin Cash. During the past 2-3 months, the exchange rates have risen by almost 10 times, and a lot many of the websites and stores are now planning to shift to BCH from BTC. Also, earlier BCH trading used to be concentrated in South Korea. That has changed now.

It is possible. When the number of unconfirmed transactions hit the 290,000 mark, the exchange rates dipped to $10,400 per coin. The prices recovered after the number dropped. But the core issue remains, as even now the average transaction fees is close to 830 Sat/Byte. This is an improvement from the fee of 1,000 Sat/Byte we had a few days back, but still I would say that no one is happy with the fee remaining at this much high levels.

We should rather advertise about Bitcoin-related services, such as Bitcoin-backed credit cards, gambling sites (only if they are legal), exchanges.etc. Else, how can you explain the whole technology behind Bitcoin in a 20 second or 30 second advertisement spot? For that purpose, movies and documentaries may be a better medium, in my opinion. 

Yeah.... Bitcoin is falling... for the 151^th time in the past 5 years? I have been active in crypto-currency segment for the past five years. Now these dips seem monotonous and boring for me. Earlier, I used to panic. But now I mostly ignore such dips. Everyone knows that the future prospects are good and we just need to hold on to our coins.

The supply of ETH is stable and the number of coins mined per year remains the same. In case of Bitcoin, the number of coins that can be mined decreases with time. So if the number of users cease to increase, there can be inflation with ETH and its value can go down. This is definitely going to be an issue facing Ethereum in the near future. 

Bitcoin can either be an investment asset or a currency. If the exchange rate remains stable, then it won't be suitable for the first purpose. Who will invest in an asset whose value is not increasing? In that case, it can be used as a currency. But the time required for getting the necessary confirmations and the transaction fee must remain low.

The Bitcoin dominance has declined to around 42% from the previous levels of 61% (two weeks back) and that may be one of the reasons why the exchange rates going down despite the overall crypto market cap increasing. Bitcoin is going down against other alts due to the scaling issue. Even now, there are some 170K+ transactions waiting to be confirmed.
