Hello!

I'm doing alright trading, learning.
However - I spotted myself being very greedy earlier. I wanted a bigger position as I was confident of the direction of the market..
So I entered in at a lower spot, with a higher position - lowering my entry quite significantly.
I've actually done this twice in two days.

How do you deal with this particular emotion in trading?
I'm trying to be as mindful as possible - but i get really excited.. and start getting reckless.

I think I need to read some more books on trading psychology.

I think it is one of the essential things in order to invest crypto.
Do you guys read daily crypto news?

Truth be told. You can't be jobless and be doing bounties. You will starve 

My advice is to just see bounties as a pass time and don't be too expectant. Find some other job that gives you money. So many factors determine if you will get good rewards from bounties. For instance, when it lists, the price is out of the control of the team (unless they decide to do a buyback which rarely happens). The price of the token can rise if there is a lot of demand for it when it lists. But most times (since the bear run) the demand is low and to make it worse, several holders set ridiculously low prices just to sell off which devalues the coin.

Another factor that determines your reward is the authenticity as well as the success of the team and its project. Many campaigns have closed down in the past after several months of working on them only to announce that they failed to raise enough funds for the project. Worse case is the team devs exit scam and no one gets paid.

Project owners can also decide to execute their "reserved rights" by changing the rules at the end of successful campaigns. Rules changes can usually mean bounty rewards are reduced, locked, subjected to uninformed KYC checks, or distributed over a very long period of time.

If you consider all this then you will see that bounty campaigns are a gamble and cannot be always relied on to provide regular income for people participating in it. Those that participated in Deex bounty campaign (which ended in January 2019) are still waiting for their rewards (3 months after) and the devs are not communicating any date for the distribution. If you ask them they will say "soon". They have been saying "soon" since January, by the way. I'm not trying to slander the project or anything. I'm just advising fellow bounty hunters to try to get something else to do that will fetch them money and not to rely too much on bounty campaigns for payments.

What you see with the price of Bitcoin Cash, you will definitely think something extraordinary has happened. Namely the price rose very quickly $ 324. What is the underlying cause? Share your opinion in this event. Thanks for you all.

I am interested in opinions about borrowing in cryptocurrency.
If a cryptocurrency will have low price volatility, then would you borrow in that token?

If not please tell why?

Care to explain the whole scenario from the very start why you want to report a dice site? if you have problems with your wins and withdrawals, have you ever contacted the support?

Reporting an establishment to the police will require you a lot of things for them to move. I haven't heard of a successful report about a complainant that reports to international police regarding this kind of issue but if there's any, I'll be happy to hear it.

Global debt now stands at a terrifying $243 trillion according to a report by the Institute of International Finance this week. That’s quarter of a quadrillion. We’re in the realms of the absurd.

This is unsustainable. And it’s the fault of a broken and irresponsible monetary system, addicted to printing money and issuing credit. It’s time to admit we need a new alternative. While it’s far from perfect, bitcoin offers a viable solution with its fixed supply and regulated output. It’s time for a revolution.

$243 Trillion Debt Bomb

The record figure stands at three-times the world’s total gross domestic product (GDP). In other words, it’s three times larger than the value of all products and services on the planet.

The figure peaked in the first quarter of 2018 when it hit $248 trillion. It has since fallen back slightly. The US is among the biggest offenders. As CCN reported, total US national debt hit $22 trillion this year.

The crypto market is in the red right now, Ethereum suffering the most, but don't panic sell people, it will rise again.

Guys have someone tried Skylimitbet.com? Seems they have huge limits on sports and low divisions aswell anyone any experience?

I think Bitcoin's volatility is more suited for scalp traders to make timely quick bucks. On the other hand, not sure swing trading is any good especially because when the bull run starts, a swing trader can be confused on where to exit the market to maximize profit.

Any credible handbook on scalp or swing trading exclusive to cryptocurrencies, especially for the top 10 cryptos?

Is there a possibility of a scam if my tokens have no value for 2 months? I already have the tokens for 2.5 months and they keep telling us that listing is a laborious thing to do. Is that a normal thing to happen when your coin doesn't have any value for 2.5 months now?

Hi, I am interested in cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin since 2014 and want to provide some advice I have gained through the years and experience.

• Never invest what you can't afford to lose. This includes your whole life savings, child college funds, all your rent money.
• Use a paper wallet so you don't keep your copy of the seed phrase in your PC. I still suggest using a hardware wallet as a backup in case the paper gets wet, faded or destroyed.
• Use a hardware wallet for backup.You can get one with 50USD and it's one of the best investments you can do for your funds.
• Don't get in debt buying Bitcoin. It's never a good idea to get in debt in risky investments. This includes buying Bitcoin with a credit card. I started like this and it's not a good idea because interest rates. I now buy only with cash it's a lot better!
• Don't leave crypto on exchanges. That's why you got a hardware wallet, withdraw your funds on a constant basis to your wallet. If you leave your crypto
• Don't put your seed phrase on online backup. I lost some funds putting a screenshot in a Dropbox account. There are bots that scan .txt for seed phrases. Use physical media there are good metallic cases to use. If you can't avoid making an online backup then use 7ZIP to encrypt a screenshot of your seed phrase(no text) and protect your file with a strong password. That would make harder for bots to discover.
• Don't make public your earnings. This is to prevent someone with bad intentions to steal your crypto, especially if they know where you live.
• If trading and investing in crypto is it is causing you severe anxiety/depression, please stop for a while. I had to stop for some years due to anxiety. If you are risking your physical and mental health then the money it's not good.
• Learn techniques like DCA (Dollar Cost Average). This is so you buy a constant amount in a determined day. So, for example, buy $10 USD of Bitcoin each day per 6 months. This will teach you to be discipline on investment and don't fall of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) or use sentiment and do a panic sell.
• Set clear goals. Why are you investing? Do you believe in the technology of blockchain? Just for pure speculation? Set clear goals of prices to enter and prices to exit and what % you can afford to lose to avoid further losses.

I won't go on recommending products but you can go and do a google search comparison of hardware wallets and physical steel wallets for seed phrase.
Note that these are things I have learned by myself so you don't fall in the same pitfalls I did.

I am also a developer and love creating blockchain products, so try to have some fun doing all your crypto tradings. Thanks for reading and have a good day.

Edit: Added Paper wallets as jjjfff suggested.

At present, Bitcoin and several other forms of cryptocurrency are at least partly regulated by world governments. In fact, cryptocurrency is only illegal in a handful of countries including Bolivia, Sri Lanka, Ecuador, and Vietnam. The only question is, will world governments ever really recognize coins like Bitcoin as legal tender?

What Does Acceptance Mean?

For the most part, mainstream government acceptance of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is a non-issue.

In the United States, Europe, and the UK, it is already possible to buy everything from a cup of coffee to a family home using cryptocurrency. What many people, therefore, mean when they ask if cryptocurrency will ever become more widely accepted is, will governments themselves ever transition to using digital currency?

Why Governments Won’t Transition to Blockchain-Based Cryptocurrencies as we Know Them

For the foreseeable future, it is unlikely that governments will ever consider cryptocurrency equivocal to government-issued fiat cash. Moreover, this is mostly due to the potential for tax avoidance.

In the United States alone only 100 people out of a sample size of 250,000, could be evidenced as declaring cryptocurrency capital gains on their 2018 tax return. What is more, decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin interfere with more than just tax collection:
Privacy coins like Monero are still used to facilitate crime and other dubiously legal clandestine activities
Decentralized mining of coins like Bitcoin, make it impossible for governments to control their own money supply and policy
Cryptocurrency is still not backed by anything tangible
Digital currency is inherently deflationary, whereas governments depend on inflation to encourage economic growth

A much more significant problem also rests with the fact that many governments still don’t fully understand how coins like Bitcoin work.

Governments May Become More Accepting of Cryptocurrency Eventually

While world governments might be unwilling to embrace cryptocurrency itself, the same is not true for the blockchain technology which underpins how coins like Bitcoin work.

At present, the UK and the United States already settle international payments via a Ripple XRP payment gateway. Moreover, the Ripple Foundation is regularly invited to attend major economic summits like Davos and Europan Central Bank conferences discussing the future of retail payments.

Governments Don’t Like Decentralization

In Venezuela and Zimbabwe at present, out of control hyperinflation is resulting in rapidly declining living standards. In both cases, the official adoption of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin could help tackle hyperinflation head-on. However, governments don’t like centralized coins. Hence why Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has insisted on creating his own national form of cryptocurrency, the Petro.

Government Issued Cryptocurrencies May Eventually Become Commonplace

While it might be difficult for Bitcoin purists to accept, the first step toward national acceptance of cryptocurrency will likely rest with governments issuing their own centralized blockchain. Coins like Venezuela's Petro may, therefore, eventually become commonplace. However, top coins like Bitcoin will likely survive as they do now on the regulatory sidelines.     

As the subject line suggests, the question is very simple, Why do you gamble? The options are,

1. Relaxation
2. Adrenaline rush
3. Get rich quick scheme
4. Make money fulltime
5. Occessional gambler - trying luck

The reason behind this thread is to identify and categorize the trend of why people gamble, especially the players themselves! Because I have seen a lot of people screaming about the bad effects of gambling here! But I firmly believe that all depends on what's your take on gambling!

The first two categories are usually belongs to a safer category who doesn't usually become addicted. However, the next three are the most vulnerable categories where people tend to get addicted! So identify your reason please!

Keeping the topic as self moderated to prevent mass spamming!

Anyone recommend a crypto lottery to play that is legitimate? Anything in this space has better odds than government run lotteries.  Ideally something that pays 99-100% of collected funds to the winner and is verifiable with blockchain.

The situation is plain and clear, the market is growing steadily and not bullishly.

Everyone (incl investors) were hopeful of 2018 being a better year than 2017, it failed and left a lot of people in losses, now there are several blogs, posts, speculations and hope that 2019 will be the year and do better, but who knows if it will be more loss ? Or new profits ?

Let’s learn to things the right way, dyor, cash your profit and maintain a balance in your portfolio

Kindly contribute your opinion
