Totally a stupid step to take, seriously. I want to question such people that please tell me don’t you love yourself ?
Don’t you love your family ? Don’t you love your hard-earned money that you are easily ready to ruin this ?
I think we must review this decision of even thinking of gambling and when you think of going for casino along with bitcoins or crypto, believe me you are the most stupid party.

Yeah, and that is the good thing about the market anyway. Although, this is a little bit of diversion from the main topic, and with respect to the market falling, I am sure you must have forgotten that you already missed a chance for profit which was exactly what Chris was trying to drive at. As long as you do not have a set target for profit, then you are likely not going to be having it or just have to wait longer for it to hit it again.

It is the way life is as everywhere is filled up with scammers and that is a way people can only try as much as possible to guide themselves from scams. You would act the same way as well.

Not all offers may be scam but at least for a new business and a new offer, you have to be able to find something to prove yourself that you are not a scam and as long as that cannot be done, you should not just expect anyone to fall face flat for your stuff without having to question the authenticity.

Imposing tax collections will be restricted to the use of exchange, so let's face it, tax collection is something that cannot be easily achieved by the government across board unless this is the case.

However, it is a simple fact that a higher percentage of users are still going to be making use of exchanges anyway, so I do not see how this should be a problem in tax collection. Now, regulation is imposing KYC to be done in most of the exchanges, which I believe would make it easy to track down every user with respect to taxes.

Yes. With small capital is that you are going to be limited in your decisions since you are just going to be in the small scale zone in the mean time until you are able to grow from the little you can start from. Now, all these things take time and patience as well as dedication.

Once you know you have an objective to achieve and you have it all planned out, there is just no way you would not do good. It may take time, but someone who is smart with plans, should be able to overcome all the challenges in between.

By brain, I assume knowledge which is very important for any trader to be able to make good decisions when they are trading any coin.

Trading is not an easy thing to embark on, because there is always going to be some tough decisions to make most of the time, and considering the fact that the market can be highly volatile, it is also necessary to always take that into note. Therefore, the complexity of the market requires some great level of knowledge to be able to pull through any trade without any form of emotion.

Wrong route to thread on. I hope you understand what you are saying really considering that XRP is actually a centralized coin with a lot of shady things that may be going on with it and even if you should be considering holding a coin, it should not even be XRP at all.

There are so many other decentralized coins that you can hold to give you better profit based on its demand and usage over time. Asides that, choosing a safe coin to trade should not be the main idea, what is important is, looking for a good strategy to trade.

Nice one. It is a good thing and I am impressed that we are starting to see a lot of developers beginning to concentrate more on decentralized exchanges even when I feel we still have a long way to go but it is a start. I have a question though, with the way security has been a challenge across board, how are you dealing with this? What are the things you have in place not to be on the same side EtherDelta some months back ?

Most decentralized exchanges to me have not really ended up having optimal performance to that regard, and volume wise as well; I hope you will be able to beat all this.

The same mind that some gamblers find very hard to control and let their emotions get returned by their gambling habit until they eventually get addicted. The problem is the level at which people get addicted and then irresponsibly make people around them suffer for their stupid actions.

We really cannot blame gambling itself even though if we really want to face fact, it has brought more harm than good over the years, but I really blame those who just cannot keep their head and mind in one piece and let the impulse from gambling out rule their emotions until they finally become a gambling puppet.

You are not wrong bro, but I always wonder whether they think the house edge is there for charity purpose for them to think that way. The main essence of the house edge is to make money at the detriment of those who are greedy enough to be looking for what they cannot find in gambling.

Personally, I expect people to always see gambling as a way to pay to have fun which you can be lucky to win something in the process if your luck deemed it fit, but people usually do not always get it.

Not being comfortable for going against the law in your country which you know it is a huge offence is different from being shy. Apparently, what you are doing in that case is trying to watch your back so you do not get nabbed by the authorities. Being shy however, may be something that is applicable to someone who is just hitting a casino for the first time until he is able to start mixing with others, but that is all I can actually think of with respect to being shy.

One pretty huge difference that if someone does not take note of can really make things not to go well. Trading the cryptocurrency market requires a lot of attention and smart decisions knowing the level at which this market can really suck up someone's fund if care is not taken. The market is known for a high level of volatility and a 247 running market that is decentralized, and all these are factors to always take into consideration before trading this market.

Regulation alone will not differentiate these two markets for any trader here. I guess all bitcoin trader must have experienced stocks trading or at least forex trading. The common essence of analysis must be same across all types of trading.

This is not about cryptocurrency as a whole. This is about completely anonymous coins like Dash, Monero and the rest. The thing here is that whether we like it or not, this is something we cannot expect those who are so full of shit called scammers and criminals will definitely be polluting the space with this dark coins and we cannot just sit and think everything will just keep moving the way they are without some regulatory interventions. I guess satoshi must have seen this one coming to have made bitcoin pseudo-anonymous.

I wonder why anyone will even think anything good can ever come from something that has the main possibility of being controlled and manipulated anyway. If we wanted something centralized, I guess we would have just decided to stick with fiat rather than investing in a currency that some group of people who are behind it can just get it imploded anytime they feel like.

Like you have pointed out, I believe and will always believe that centralized coins suck and they will always be shitty for the obvious reasons which are being experienced by us for years. Those centralized coins survived till now because we do not have any options to get rid off them. But, after the introductions of bitcoins, things will definitely change for the betterment of every human of this planet.

I believe there is already a huge importance attached to it as every day we keep seeing new users and investors popping in to see the real value that it brings generally for the world at large. The future is great but it has to come with real life usage as a currency as that is the way we can get a sustainable value in the long run.

The main value of bitcoin is not just for it to be as a speculative asset which obviously would not help in anyway, but the main essence is to be used as a currency that curbs all the issue that fiat has brought over time and that is exactly what would make it more valuable as we move on.

I like it when people actually get what they deserved rather than try to sugar coat the words for them ; they really need to know what they are not just doing right. The problem with so many people is that they are looking for the quick and short term gains.

They have heard so much about bitcoin making a lot of people rich and they have forgotten how long some of these people have been investing and within those periods how it has been for them to still keep holding. Apparently, they always find it hard to get that into their thick skull.

Even if you want to purchase low, it is very necessary to still know exactly when you are purchasing, so you do not end up making a wrong purchase.

The mistake made by so many people is they believe buy low and sell high is all they need to make a trade, and funny enough, they do not know where to really buy or when to really be selling and that makes them to easily jeopardize their position in the market a lot. Learning is necessary as there are some analysis and indicators that will always be of help to make good decisions.

Some people do worry themselves on issues that doesn’t even make sense. You can see a newbie that joined in 2017 regretting why they didn’t buy when it was sold at the rate $1 or so in 2009. That’s just the worst stupidity. If you’re worried about that, then it’d best to fly yourself back to 2009 and do that. If you make mistake, you have made it and there is nothing you can do about it than taking correction. That’s why it’s always good to read and know from other people’s experience so you don’t also make the same mistake.

Yes, handling crypto related mistakes does not require any special skill as it should be handled how we do with most of our life's other mistakes. Learning a lesson and from that knowledge avoiding same mistakes are always effective for handling any regrets.

Yeah, curiosity when it concerns your investment is normal and I totally understand that a normal and sane person will want to at least check how their folio is doing which I believe even the OP did to have known how much he is worth now.

Moreover, it is also important to understand that there is no point freaking out or panicking when you know what you are looking forward to and as long as the individual is not trading, I really do not see any means to ever make decisions to sell out at loss out of panic which a lot of people do from checking the price.

The banks are sure suffering it and they are scared at the way things are turning out rapidly which is the main reason why they are still trying to make every attempt to have a better position in this market so as to be in control. Those who want to give in are free to do so, while those who are smart will always know what to do at every moment in time. They always come back apologizing anyway on all the trash they have ended up saying which at this stage, no one really cares anymore.

I am sure that cryptocurrency market has already suffered enough for the level which may trigger another rally. Because no market will keep falling all the times and no market will keep rising all the time. Hence we never need to worry on any correction at this stage. Trend already got reversed. Now we are in rising phase.
