Isn't Ripple and XRP the same thing.? I think you were in hurry.

Anyway, I do agree that ripple is a  good investment. It is now available for less than half of a dollar and it will surely get to double in next 1-2 months. I could not speak the same for bitcoins. Only ETH can give as much returns as Ripple but I still prefer ETH because it is a safer bet.

This aspect is most important in my opinion. At the first place, the manager should be so clear and evident that there should be no need for sending him messages. In case, it is required in emergency and an applicant sends a message to the manner, he must get a reply.

Current situation is that there is so much competition among applicants that they choose campaigns even if this aspect is ignored by the manger.

That depends on a number of factors like the place you live and what is average income there.  A member with good rank here can make about $200-$600 per month here in bounties and that could be sufficient in some places.

However, since we are talking about taking it as full time job, it is not practical in my opinion. There is no guarantee that this work will last forever. So stability can be a problem and thus I will say that it is unrealistic.

We have all sorts of people as the part of this community now. When crypto prices were increasing fast in 2017, a lot of new investors joined in. They did not have much knowledge of crypto or were convinced of the potential of bitcoins. They invested just because they though that they can make good money out of it.

If a person makes an investment in a  project without believing it , he will not be able to remain with the project in bad times. Sane with bitcoins, such users are now selling in loss.

They do not actually scam users for their money but there are some serious issues with it. For instance, they are famous for banning accounts without any solid reason. They then hold the payments or completely deny it. There are many shad activities as well like when balance goes to negative, they will send money collectors to your home.

Only reason they are so much popular is that they do not have a good competition.

Not true, all investments are nor risky. If you make a fixed deposit in a bank, you get an assured annual return. There is no risk to that investment and you are guaranteed to get the fixed interest.

Now coming to crypto, there is more risk but so is the reward that comes with it.

Rightly said, we cannot leave medicines because of side effects. It is primary effect (or cure) that medicine provides that matters as it over weighs all the side effects. Same applies to crypto or bitcoins. People using it for illegal means is a problem and it needs to be strictly dealt with. This does not mean we should put an end to crypto.

I lost some money on coins like TRON but overall it was a profit and thus there is no need to recover any loss.

However, I have got a regular job and some other ventures that give me decent regular income so I sorted on the security part. I always suggest people to consider crypto only as an additional source of money not something to reply completely for bread.

This is something I am hearing for the first time and it sounds too good to be true. I do not know how would Satoshi react to such a thing but it would make  the people associated with crypto proud for sure.

In case, he is alive (which has higher profitability), this may lead to legal issues also. Even though I would be happy to see a statue on his name if it is practically possible.

I do not think that you need to be at war with people who are against bitcoins.

People have difference of options and it is natural for people to doubt bitcoins and crypto as the concept is very new for most. If anyone talks against bitcoins, I am not very much hateful towards that person. If he is making some sense and highlighting some issue with bitcoins , we should listen to him and work on making the desired improvement.

That depends on number of factors. For instance, the exchange you use and the trading volume of these coins on that exchange. The one that I use primarily ( a local exchange for my country) has higher volumes of BTC and thus price movement is more in comparison to ETH. This allows me to see for profit most of the times. Less people show interest in ETH on that exchange because of some legal restriction in my country.

Best approach is to do it in limits. You should actually keep yourself so much busy that you do not feel the need to go to things like gambling. Most of the addictive gamblers resort to these practices to keep themselves away from the reality. You need to take harsh decisions just once and your life will get sorted.

The key to stay way from gambling for long time is to develop passion for something that you enjoy more than the former.

Here are some tips to be victorious with bitcoins :

1) Invest only the amount that you can afford to loose. This will ensure you never sell in loss due to panic.

2) Do proper research about the current market situation.

3) Instead of investing some amount on a fixed time per month, buy at dips.

4) Personally I believe more on holding than trading in case of bitcoins.

There are many similarities in trading and gambling like :

1) In both trading and gambling, one can increase chances of success with experience.

2) Both can get addictive after initial successes.

3) There is always some sort of luck involved in succeeding. The percentage is more in gambling though.

I agree with you completely. There are ways to reduce the incidences of getting cheated on online websites though. Most of the new players will however, will not be able to observe patterns on online websites easily.

I have been victim of this on some online websites and sad thing is that those websites are still running successfully after so many years.

That is a big problem. There is an industry based on these fake reviews. Most of the websites have their own team or outsource this work to post good reviews on various platforms for their website. It is very hard to find genuine reviews about gambling websites. Also, regarding bad reviews, some even go to the extent of posting those for their competitors.

Personally, I trust the reviews given by experienced members here.

Two or three days ? Believe me it is hours.

When I was addicted to card related games, I used to play for more than 12 hours a day. I never showed that much dedication for anything in my life till that point.

End result was all my bank accounts got stolen and I had to live in depression for few months. Finally, I got over it slowly and now I can live even for years without gambling. I often forget the username now on the the card game sit that I was addicted to, it is name followed by an year .

After I ended up all my bank balance, I asked a relative for very small amount of money to gamble. I did not told him about the purpose and thus he even gave me the money. I lost that also and it really made me feel shameful. That was few years back and it was a wake up call for me. All my life, I have never borrowed money from anyone except this case.

I am happy that I have no interest in Football  so there is no question of betting on these matches.

I had some interest in cricket in past but I never made any bet on them also using nay betting website. Now I hardly  get time to even see any sports so betting is not an option for me.

1) I am not aware of stats but more payment options are an advantage to players. Some players might not having access to a particular payment type and can thus use crypto.

2) Launch is not a good parameter to judge. Profitability of those sites is.

3) Anonymous payments is the biggest advantage for gambling sites.
