when you want to do arbitrage trading this way one of the first restrictions that you are going to face is the amount of profit you can earn from your trade. and this method they are talking about if you want to pay extra fees you are cutting your own profit into a very smaller amount and you may even end up losing money.

and besides it is withdrawal from one exchange to another, so you don't control how much fee it has!

gamble can also be a game too and a game can also be a gamble too. it works both ways.

when playing a game if you involve money and bet on the result then it is gambling, and you already having fun with the game to begin with.

then in things that are strictly gambling like poker you can still have fun and call them "game" because it is in fact a game by definition. and as for being online and gambling online goes there are lots of different games, some of which are too fun to play.

actually i am hoping it doesn't happen. because going to $1000 now makes price too unstable and i don't like that because there would be fall and a bad one if things become unstable.

right now it seems like price is getting more stable below $900 mark at $880 and passing the $900 and i think it will continue this way until the end of the year.

i am not saying luck is the only important thing in making profit in general.

but if you read my comment to the end, i am saying it first depends on the type of the game. for example dice or sports betting. in dice it is all about luck and nothing else. but in sports betting it is all about your skills and experience then a little about luck.

and then it is about how much experience you have in that particular game. if you are skilled in sports betting you can make good profit and if not there is no different between sports betting and shooting a dart in darkness.

i was wondering how much do you change the size of your bets and for example your bankroll now that bitcoin price has gone up to ~$900?

i am usually getting more cautious about each bet and make smaller bets when price goes up just to match the price with the risk i take.

it is only one place and one random thing that was told by one random teacher and if i had to guess i would say he had lost money trading bitcoin and now that teacher is pissed off because of the money that he lost because of FOMO buying and then panic selling.

i have seen so many strange stuff being sold on the internet that this doesn't surprise me at all, but if i see something like this i will only laugh and would never trust it enough to buy because we are talking about a cryptocurrency wallet and it is not safe. and also these wallets should be updated every minute with new blocks, some altcoins every second so i don't see any point in buying one and also i doubt it contributes at all to public adoption.

i don't know if you didn't read my comment or you didn't understand a word that i said but in any case your reply DOES NOT make any sense and is completely irrelevant to what i wrote above!!!

i am saying last month i spent my winning, and today i store my winning which part of this is miserable?

a year ago was a completely different story and now everything is different in the market. last year ETH was still new and people were not hating it this much.

and although 0.0017 seems far, with another 10% drop of today's price things aren't looking good for ETH at all. and specially since all of the whales big buy walls are being broken there seems to be a massive dump happening. just the other day i saw a 600BTC buy wall melted like butter

chasing losses to win them back never works in games like dice where you are gambling based on your luck alone.
but i believe that it is good to do it in other games like sports betting or generally speaking in games that are based on skills and you know that you always have a better chance of winning based on your skills and if you lose once you can in 10 times afterwards.

the decision i make is always changing when it comes to bitcoin. before when prices were stable and not this volatile rising up so fast, i may have spend the winning amount on something nice for myself but right now if i win anything it goes directly to my cold storage and i won't touch it each day is like $100 profit these days.

yeah sure buddy. those who believe this i have a talking puppy to sell you, contact me

those with 100+ bitcoin worth $80000 are not so desperate for their short positions to spread FUD to maybe catch some newbies dumping 0.01BTC in their buy orders

yes bitcoin has been growing with the same trend for a very long time and it will only continue this way and with these price rises more people will come and increase the adoption which means more growing both in number of users and the price.


paypal is not a shop! it is a payment processor and no they will never (at least not for a very long time) accept bitcoin and same thing but with less severity goes for Amazon, they will accept bitcoin if it becomes a lot bigger than this.


USA as it always have been, China is mostly fake volumes and mostly trading. but US, Canada, and even Japan and Switzerland are places that i have seen many usages and real adoption there.

without seeing the reference from which OP is saying this, it is not possible for us to say anything for sure and he makes it hard to make an speculation about this situation.

but the only thing that comes to my mind is either one of these:
1) the person saying this was having an illusion about a better luck over VPN
2) he may have been talking about some kind of promotion to a certain country members.

who cares about what other people think or say . do whatever you feel is right. and tell those "other people" to mind their own business and be sure that their own lives are full of shame.
there is nothing about gambling itself as long as you are not using it in a wrong way such as wasting money or becoming a gambling addict.

you are forgetting about another (unfortunately) popular these days method which they are using. and that method is advertising a script or bot or some shady code where they design some kind of backdoor malware in their bot or script to steal your coins as soon as you download and try it out.

and i have been seeing an increased number of attempts to spread this kind of malware among gamblers.

first of all you should re-think your topic subject because it is wrong. you are looking at it the wrong way. price has gone up nearly $75 in the past 24 hours and now it has come down $17

and if you look at the charts it has always been like this, when price goes up there is a little back-track because people sell and price has to see a correction.

in short nothing out of the ordinary.

i don't think it is optimistic at all now.
i would have agreed with you a while back when Trump was elected president and everybody was just hyping things because of some possibilities but right now those possibilities have become more of reality instead and it may actually lead to more rises and better days for bitcoin usage.

there is never an easy way of doing that. because you can never be sure about what lies behind a news that you read. many times it is FUD, many times it is just Hype because that news source have invested his money into that altcoin, or even bitcoin.

but as he said news always have its effect, you only have to figure out which type news has the most effect and which type has no effect.

for example when you read circle CEO saying bitcoin is going to die, everybody is laughing at him and price continues going up!
but when you hear news about bitfinex getting hacked price drops fast because it is an effective news.

none of these could save ethereum from going down so far. and it is going to continue going down.

have you forgotten that not long ago people were spamming ~$20 price and 1.5 billion dollar market cap? where are they now that ETH market cap is 0.6 billion dollar and price is ~$7 and falling fast?
