At least they have done well to have been able to put up a decentralized platform over the years and have been able to prove themselves to have the ability to deliver if they have the funds to do so and also get better by enhancing the platform. It is a good way to really raise money and I do not see anything bad in that. A lot of platform have done that and are still doing it, Etherdelta even makes it worthwhile since it is a platform that has been in existence.

It is really a one million dollar question. The truth is that people gamble for so many different reasons and while some feel they are there to have fun, majority of the gambling population are looking for easy money which they believe they can get with their luck through gambling until they end up seeing that it is the other way round.

It takes a lot of money to keep an online casino running and we sure know the owner of the casinos have the algorithm built more in their favor.

You are even lucky to have been able to win a lot in gambling. Not everyone gets this chance but one thing I know for sure is that it is all about luck and I guess you were really lucky. There is nothing that makes anyone expert and even though some gambling may require you to have some skills more than your opponents, everything at the end of the day still balls down to what you are holding which totally ends up being a lick.

I don’t trading is riskier than gambling or has the same risk as involved in gambling. If this is true, then all the people would have been going with gambling instead of trading because it gives you profit at the spot and you don’t have to wait and show patience. If one has sound knowledge of what trading is, I think not only he will recover the amount which he has invested, also he would make good amount of profit from it.

Fiat is just the easy way out. Every other crypto will always fluctuate hugely, asides USDT anyway which was made to be another form of USD but in the cryptocurrency form. With that way in some of the exchanges you can just trade against USDT in form of fiats. Whereas in some other exchanges, you can even have the chance to trade against EUR, GBP and the likes.

It is better you just hold the equal version of fiat. In most exchanges like bittrex and poloniex, there is USDT which is the equivalent in dollars and with that one, you can at least be trading against fiat and what you are holding will not really be an issue with fluctuations since it is a controlled environment and the value does not really get above $1.01 at most.

Holding some altcoins has really given me huge profit within just few days than I would have imagined than even trading itself. I am sure a lot of people trade, but not everyone sure have the time and there are just sometimes, that you may make the wrong call and when you are not there to get out of the show, then you may end up accruing huge loss.

With holding, you know this is going to be a long term trade, and you really do not bother much about the fluctuations. Trading though is highly profitable if you have a good strategy and skills to pull it off.

A whole lot from crypto investment. 2017 was really great for me and I can imagine what 2018 is going to hold for me the more. The opportunities that crypto opened was huge for me personally and it seems that each and every day, I keep seeing even more new opportunities that I have not even tapped into and waiting for me to do more research and tap hugely into them. It is a new era indeed for huge profit and that is what I got.

Not just about withdrawal as people withdraw normally every day, but what really happened was because the supply was higher than the demand and that simply made it very obvious as a whole lot of people ended up cashing out more than those who wanted it.

Over the years, we experienced huge demand anyway, so this correction will make the continuation of growth in this new year healthy and at least, we just imagine that we have found a bottom for now.

I totally believe the craze in 2017 was just a start of it all. We had some craze too around 2013, but 2017 capped it up for now and I am sure this year 2018 would even be crazier.

I am still also sure that we should expect some war on bitcoin this year as most governments are really trying to see how they can do the whole thing so as to scare people away but that depends on how investors react to it anyway. This is not the first time things like this will happen.

It is going to ruin it one way but I am not sure how this would all end up. It is insane honestly, and I really do not envy the Americans right now. This is also why the whole idea of having decentralized exchanges would make a lot of sense, but this is something that we may not see for now and will just have to live with the attack on the crypto users and just unfortunate US is first.

I guess that this is a reason to start shifting away from US exchanges. No one knows for now but I am sure it is going to get integrated into the exchange fees somehow and until then, we may not know. It is crazy though as this would bring more like an era where trading fee may start being a huge one but let's see. Whichever way though, I am looking forward to how that is going to play out.

I have earned a lot from ICOs than I can ever imagine. As long as you know what you are doing and you know how to dig on a project, then you should be fine.

It is just like in the real world, even if you want to invest in a company, you have to understand the strength of the team, the chances of the company being in the spotlight later on and the chances of your investment growing and that to me seems more like something anyone should be able to do before investing.

I was in this position too and I really gave up on XRP. I do not regret it anyway as I only wanted to trade it anyway and have some few profits on it as it seems a project that I have never been comfortable with. Nevertheless, it is always good to hold anyway most especially for a coin that you believe in and probably that could have been a reason I failed to hold XRP anyway.

Yeah and if you have some good follower base, you can earn a lot. So many crypto startups see most of this social media as a point where they can easily get enough users into their project and that is why a lot of bounty hunters are making a lot of money with their twitter and Facebook account depending on the number of real followers they have.

No one really expected it and that was an obvious manipulated pump done by just some group of people and the worst part is that you just keep seeing FOMOs rushing into the game to cash out for profit. Coinbase stated that the whole thing was leaked and the idea was to silently introduce bitcoin cash but the whole thing turned to some people trying to get a lot of profit quickly from the whole thing.

The end of the year is already close and even at the beginning of 2018; we may still keep seeing some gradual dragging on the sideways before we see a bullish trend to test the previous top. For now, the base is strong enough to keep holding it from going down forward and I really hope it does not.

Also, once the LN is deployed and that resolves the scaling issue to some great extent, then we should expect a huge drive up in price.

Most people making predictions are just making it to drive the market while using their position, same with those speculating FUDs. This does not mean anything, as what would occur, ends up happening eventually and there is just no way can anything change it. However, there is no need being too expectant based on what some of those who call themselves expert do say as they know nothing. The best is just to follow the trend and blend in with it.

I guess that is a war that we will have to expect from bitcoin for now and that is one that is going to be pretty hard to wave off, but I am optimistic it would pass.

It is just unfortunate that we have some gullible fellows who will just take everything thrown at them easily without even making some research and anyone who really wants to invest in XRP can go ahead and I really want to see how all their craziness and the government shenanigans lead to.

Luck sometimes is usually over emphasized when it comes to gambling and the way I see it, even if luck exists, we have just so few of them and once they do their part on you today, they either move to the next person available to take a bit part of it and then if you do not move on, and thinking the next day is going to be like yesterday just as you have said, you get yourself soaked in huge losses like a child under the rain.

That is a very bad one mate.
I would not want to judge you but living like that is really something that you would not want to end your life with because If you do not take a good hold of yourself now, you may end up losing yourself totally to gambling and I am sure you know what that means and it would take a whole lot to save yourself from it at the long run.

There is a part of the brain that gambling affects which makes it become an addict, and that is the same part that hard drugs and co stimulate. The thing is that you just have to find a way to control it as that is the only thing that separates someone who gambles for fun and an addicted gambler, and that takes a lot of huge discipline.

It sure will ! Even with what all those economists are saying today which I am sure it is because they are so butt hurt, they cannot imagine how blind they were to miss the great moment and then wish they can do everything to get bitcoin back to that moment which unfortunately for them, they cannot.

The interest is growing hugely each and every day and that is something that would keep making the value of bitcoin to keep rising as it is today. Bitcoin has grown past what no one can imagine and it is still growing, the future is great and that is one thing I am sure of.

The truth is no one can really know how far bitcoin is going to go or how things would end up being in the future, but one sure truth is that bitcoin is a coin with a future that is worth waiting for as so many people here today will be happy they got in later in the future just as those who invested far back in 2010.
