Somewhere under $20k and above $12k IMO. Bullish momentum's slowing down a bit and especially in the last few weeks, and we might even be pressed down near $10k for a month or two before things finally start moving, though I do find it likely we're going to break upwards soon. Can't rule out breaking down lower, but I do find that unlikely.

I never really take advantages of prizes or special promotions on most sites, but these promotions and prizes can be a great way to kickstart growth on a new casino site if you ever choose to create one. I would also recommend offering an option to invest in the bankroll of your site (with leverage on that investment if possible). A surprisingly large number of sites just don't allow users to invest in the site's bankroll, but it's a feature that I and a lot of other people look for in a site.

Not entirely sure when they stopped allowing US traders to register, but I recall trying to register on their site before the CFTC probe on BitMEX from a U.S IP a while back and the site also blocked me from registering based on my IP address. I assume their policies for what to do with user accounts once they're detected to be trading from a U.S IP is also very similar to BitMEX's considering the similarities between the two sites' terms on the matter.

I almost always block people for messaging me in Discord about giveaway and other things of the like where money's involved and report them. Discord's pretty slow to ban people in my experience, but if you provide sufficient evidence they'll get the job done. Not the easiest thing to do with Discord, unfortunately, but I'm always in support of minimizing the number of scammers. Note that it's harder for Discord to ban people once messages are deleted.

Bybit also restricts people from registering and trading on their platform if the site detects that your IP is in the United States. Their list of restricted locations is extremely similar to that of Bitmex's, and they also say in their FAQ that the site reserves the right to close the positions of people detected to be trading from one of the following jurisdictions:

KuCoin's going to be your best alternative if you're looking for a somewhat reputable exchange that doesn't require KYC upfront in order to trade; there's other exchanges out there that don't request KYC as well but most of 'em are much smaller and shadier IMO. I don't find Binance to be especially shady, but it's got the best volume for most alt pairs. I know some people that use HitBTC as well, but I'm pretty sure they do request KYC if that's something you're looking for.

TA's not meant to be the sole thing you use to predict the future, because if you're utilizing TA like that you're doing it wrong and you will likely end up unprofitable at trading. TA's good as an aid in helping you make good entries and whether to go long, short or even just sit out of the markets, and good for helping you identify good places to set stoplosses and places to take profit, though. TA's also at least partially a self-fulfilling prophecy, so some common patterns do play out, though there are also times they don't.

There's tons of countries where gambling's extremely heavily regulated as well (one example being the U.S), especially online gambling, and I've found that a ton of crypto gambling sites don't even let me login or register accounts from an IP that's located in one of these countries. The good news is that this can be bypassed by simply using a VPN outside of these jurisdictions, but it sucks that even some crypto casinos filter out these countries.

Yep, if you're looking to trade cryptocurrency just find a large and reputable exchange like GDAX (Coinbase Pro) or Bitstamp, and submit KYC documents (unless you want to trade on Binance initially) and start from there instead of proceeding through some broker like Tradenix. It's simple enough to register on an exchange, so why bother with registering and using a third-party service to trade?

I've never been a fan of sites like Changelly or Shapeshift mainly for the reason that sites like these almost always require KYC, and you're often paying pretty hefty fees just for using these platforms as well. I'd much rather use an exchange that doesn't require KYC that's more reputable than the exchanges I listed earlier, such as Binance. There's going to be exchange hacks for as long as exchanges are relevant, and if you just keep funds you're not actively trading off your exchange account and on a cold wallet you should be fine.

I've always been a fan of Primedice for its age and also its smooth user interface, as well as its trollbox that I sometimes read and participate in. Primedice forces you to sign up in order to play unlike some other sites that make an account for you with a login link and optional registration, but that's not really a big deal for me as I usually end up registering anyways. There's really not much left that can be improved in a dice game IMO, so I've been playing on Primedice for ages.

Yes, but also no. There's obviously factors you cannot control in trading (such as what whales might be doing), but because you really can't control those factors, don't worry too much about them. As for the erratic price movements in Bitcoin, that's just how it goes. If you're using leveraged trading, always set stops and use TA to the best you can along with your risk management strategy to minimize potential losses. Yesterday's dump may can partially be attributed to an ascending wedge breaking (bearish formation).

Ouch... we just had another dump of several hundred dollars down to a line that I'm carefully watching as it's been a point of action recently. 1D MACD was close to flipping green before this dump but this has delayed it, and the 4H MACD is now flipping red. We're still up over the last few days but this is a bit painful returning back to these levels once more. Not super surprised considering bulls were losing momentum and volume was lowering before the dump. Undecided whether or not to be bullish or bearish for the short term at the moment, but I'm still long and mid-term bullish.





On the other hand, we're right back to where we were a couple days ago.

I've never been a fan of signals and I likely never will subscribe to any paid signals nor use free signals anytime in the future. Most of the signal groups I've seen advertised around places like here and Twitter claim exaggerated rates of success and gains, and I'd much rather use whatever the cost of a 'decent' monthly paid signals group is towards trading using my own knowledge and TA.

The main problem with mining is a lot of people just have electrical rates that are too high to be competitive and profitable compared to other miners in the game; I've powered down most of my miners as a result of my electrical bill becoming a bit too high for my liking and just a general loss of interest in mining as a whole, though mining can be a fun and potentially profitable hobby for some.

Sucks that faucets now pay so little nowadays, but with all the abuse and greater interest in Bitcoin and crypto as a whole, earning potentials from faucets were bound to go down. Sad to see though, because faucets were one of the things about Bitcoin that caught my attention in late 2014. I first experimented with BTC through funds I acquired through faucets.

Absolutely true. Almost everyone I know in the cryptosphere is extremely bullish in the long term (as am I) which makes things a bit crowded on that end, though I could definitely see that happening and perhaps as low as $20k in a couple years though. We're still making slow but steady progress towards that number in the meantime, and the tech involved is only going to get better with time. I've been dollar cost averaging for the last few months and I will continue to do so for the forseeable future.

Slippage is absolutely brutal with Bitmex market stop losses- limit stops almost never work, and even market stops in profit after fees often end up in a loss if price is swinging fast in one direction or the other, unfortunately. Any leveraged trading sites similar to Bitmex including Bybit will likely require KYC for American traders in the future as well, and if you really want to trade on these sites, a VPN's the best way to go. Your ping's generally not increased by a whole lot with VPNs, and a simple Canadian VPN (no Quebec IPs, though) should be enough.

Interesting, if you find the link to the exchange you're talking about, it'd be great if you could drop it here but there might be problems with liquidity for the exchange you're talking about initially after launch which could cause problems with trading. Not a big fan of decentralized exchanges as of right now, and most of them don't seem to be very popular but I'm always looking for something new.

You should always be reading reviews about an exchange and potential issues with the exchange(s) you're looking at through users who post about the exchanges on this forum more than elsewhere like Trustpilot; I trust a post here from a reputable member more than 20 other reviews from people on Trustpilot or almost anywhere else, though I hardly ever have to look up the reviews of exchanges because I mostly trade on major exchanges like GDAX and I shy away from smaller exchanges. Just not worth the trouble IMO with all the issues people have with getting scammed and potentially slow support on smaller exchanges.

I would highly suggest using Gunbot as well; if you do indeed have a working plan, it's not very hard to input the settings you've come up with into the bot, and even the basic license for the bot should be enough as long as you don't plan on using the bot for trading on margin. I've also heard about Haasonline (Haasbot) which is another trading bot with similar pricing to Gunbot, though you need to pay monthly and I've never used it before. An open-source free alternative for both of these would be Gekko, which I've used a few times in the past before I purchased a Gunbot license.

I'm really against tokens as a whole, though I would never touch a sportsbook that's funded through a token; I'd much rather use one that's privately funded, because a ton of tokens lose value or just straight out die every day and I prefer to be paid in BTC rather than anything else anyways. I'm not particularly familiar with the legality of either type of sportsbook as I have very little knowledge of starting a sportbook, but I imagine even sportsbooks that use tokens still block the usual countries (USA, etc) that are blocked by most crypto casinos.
