Well, it is more like a game to me than gambling, you have to know how much you are willing to risk and if you risk something that you do not care if you lose or not, it is no longer gambling. Have you ever seen a gambling website like a game? Think of this game like call of duty or world of warcraft, it is just a different style where you may have a chance to win some money if you are lucky, but all intends and purposes you will lose money,  spend 60 bucks on a game right?

Well, in my nation with taxes that comes to about 100 bucks a month, how about I spend that 100 bucks on gambling every month instead of buying a game? It is like that for me, and that is why I see this as gaming instead of gambling, I say goodbye to my money the moment I deposit it. This why I had a lot more fun and I have been gambling without any big upset ever for the past few years.

Lol what kind of central bank is this? I’ve been following up with this news and I am very sure that they closed bank accounts of cryptocurrency traders and I have seen this news as of recent, I think last weekend and I just laughed about it.

How can they just turn on what they have said, while they gave our orders to banks to close accounts trading cryptocurrencies which a lot of people saw their statement, so why are they now saying they didn’t try preventing traders from trading cryptocurrencies when they actually did it. It is totally wrong, so are they now encouraging people to start trading cryptocurrency again or what exactly?

I guess they are now regretting the actions they took, they should have taken time to consider it. And it’s good they now know that they can’t ban bitcoin, people will quickly switch to P2P.

I think there are two sides of this story and both of them are quite right at their own ways. I get that it is like Art market and I get that some paintings worth some money while others do not, and same could be applied to NFT as well and that is why it could be worth money as well for some people.

However I understand who do not understand as well, there are so much idiotic things, yeah sure some guy selling his hard worked painting for few million "may" look a lot, but that could be argued, but some guy sharing some gif for 6k dollars a piece and sell 50 at a time, that is no longer art, in the art world and specially in the painting world, we have real paintings that worth something, not just 50+ copies for 6k each, that rarely ever happens, photocopy is not really worth any money, just because I can print mona lisa and hang on my wall doesn't mean I own mona lisa. So the art part at 1+ million artsy things are right, but that weird 5 eth copies sold in bulk is not art.

Freelancing is already a small thing, people do not make worlds with this, thankfully I have been making my living with it, even though my nation got horrible inflation and I have been spending maybe 2x to live compared to a year ago.

The same thing happened to Dollar-Fiat for our nation and that is why I earn more as well and can cover it for now, sometimes some extra things come up, like on September I had to get wisdom tooth surgery and that was my whole salary, it took me all the way to January to actually be done with that debt I created during September, so sometimes life is very hard for a freelancer since we do not make much, but also there is no chance we could make a lot neither, work is obvious, it's there, I can't suddenly earn millions of dollars with freelancing, no matter what happens I will either barely live or live comfortably but that's it.

To make it even smaller would be horrible business for people.

I think moving towards "dapp" would be a way to go. Not saying it would be the only way to go, it would be just one way to go. I think it is quite clear that nobody should be forced to do something they do not want to do. BSC would be a blockchain change, which would be a big deal, you can't really put it in like you are adding any other coin.

It means you need to change the whole system and make it work like a dapp and that would mean they would have to change everything. Of course it can be done if they want to, but that doesn't mean it should be done, it just means it could be done. That is why I think it is quite obvious that we should not be focusing on what could be done but what should be done, and what should be done is adding more regular coins. Which is what they are doing, they are adding more coins and that is why I think it is on the right path.

Stake is not doing that sportsbook thingy that well, I have tested it long time ago when it first started and I test it sometimes when I reach my max in other places, but that's about it and I can honestly say that both the odds are worse here than any other place I have seen, but also it is buggy as well, live play is not something I wait until the last 2 minutes so I have to be honest and say that I didn't gamble on that, the only 2 times I gambled on live play was in the second quarter and even early at that I was just too late and didn't even cared about the score because I knew which team would win and wagered on that anyway, won one of them and lost the other.

Long story short stake needs to improve, and I mean a lot, just adding someone else's games and adding some other sports providers things here, all that doesn't suddenly make it a better place, ever since they got others things into their system they became much worse.

You have a painting in your room, it is yours, if you want it you can keep it forever, if you want to you can give it to someone else. NFT is painting on your computer, it is yours, if you want it you can keep it forever, if you want you can give it to someone else. That's it, is there anything that should be different?

I mean we are talking about something that would be as simple as a five year old could understand while still giving the most important facts about it. Sure you can talk about the blockchain and how it creates a code that you know who owns that NFT and bla bla bla many hours but let's face it, kids are not that smart and they do not have attention span like adults do, so at the end of the day explaining it like how it is a very simple thing to them would be actually a better decision, hence my two sentence explanation is a lot better.

I think they will find a way, as long as crypto is not banned forever, they will somehow find a way. This is why we are seeing a surge in P2P transactions in the world, places like Nigeria where people can hold crypto but can't withdraw it to their bank accounts are making deals over the phone and someone wires them money and gets their crypto, that is how it is done these days. I know it is not the ideal way to do it, but it is at least a way to do it.

This is why I think not a huge deal will come out of this, as long as nations do not ban crypto as a whole, they can ban companies working with crypto and it will not be a problem. It is not going to be something that is easy and simple, but it is going to be something that will somehow save these people. Of course we could still see these people as under threat but at least they are not completely done.

Everyone talked about how "possible" it is, but nobody talked about how unlikely it is. This is an unlikely situation, of course if you invested at the right time and waited you would have made that much profit, it wouldn't have been that difficult, hell even a year ago would have been a right time to invest and you would have made 3x in a month last year, but this year things are a bit different.

We have already increase more than 10x in bitcoin compared to last year, so it would not be easy for me to say that you could find a 2x or 3x in any currency. Can it happen? Sure, the other day chilliz made 5x in a week, so it is possible, but you could also get in after that and just like everyone else who did it, you could lose a lot of money as well. This is why I think it is quite obvious that there are people who could make profit and could lose money, and when it is this high, making that much this quickly is more unlikely than likely to happen.

Staking is not like interest, there is a whole different situation about staking and interest from banks. Proof of stake is something that allows you to help people move money around, and you charge money for that, think about it like miners, do miners consider it interest? They do not, plus in order for you to stake you need to keep your PC open if I do not know it wrong, and that means you have to actually "work" for it, you are not getting an interest, you are providing a service and people are paying you for it, that's different from interest.

I still find it idiotic that interest would be bad, it must have been something wrong for those times in a middle east kingdom for sure but in 2021 saying interest is sin would be saying like breathing is sin, interest is everywhere, but this is not interest at all this is a service you charge money and get paid like a normal business.

I don’t have any of those on my portfolio, but assuming I am to choose from the list you have here I will go with EOS, that’s the better one there, I think. I have not invested in Ripple before, but I was kind of starting to develop interest in it until all these things that are happening to them now started and I had to draw back and look somewhere else.

Other tokens you have might be good, but I haven’t really been following them up. There are other big coins that I have been investing for long and they are still doing really good and the number one my list is Cardano, it’s a good coin, followed by Polkadot (DOT), I also Ethereum (well, everybody knows already to add this one all the time). Not thinking of going any further from this for now.

I think volume increasing or decreasing shouldn't matter, people approach fun token like it is a coin you invest into, and that is what has been talked a million times here that a wrong approach to it for sure that people should not be looking into. Reality is that we are not after getting fun tokens and selling it when it is high, that is not the point, that is not what freebitco.in suggest you should do neither, they are giving you all the chance in the world to make as much money as you want from holding it.

So assuming you got as much as possible, and hold it as long as possible, you are going to make more money from that than the money you spent on fun token, at that point why would it matter if fun token worths zero and you can't withdraw it, you are already profiting more than you invested, so the point is to buy and hold fun tokens as much as you can.

I have always used https://cryptopanic.com for every single information gathering, that place is the best because not only they share news from many places, but they allow you to reach them from just one place, it is better than any news channel because in here you have all of them all together. Plus, they share tweets of important people in crypto world and other stuff as well, basically all around the greatest crypto news aggregator in the world.

If you use only this place, check what has been talked and check the messages and everything, there will not be any news that would not be here and you will learn about everything. However I have to warn people to not trade based on news too much because sometimes crypto community trades heavily based on a news but sometimes they ignore it, I do not know when they take it seriously and when they do not take it seriously.

I do agree with it, think about it governments and so forth protect banks a lot and what is their excuse? If banks collapse (even if they do something that deserve it) that would cause a lot of people to collapse as well and bankrupt, so saving banks would equal saving a lot of people and their money.

I do not agree with that, I think banks should collapse and bankrupt if they can't run their business properly and if people are hurt by it, let them be hurt now and they will be saved later because without those banks and their shady business people will get better in the future. Bitcoin reached to that level, not that any government would save it, but corporations invested so much money into it that I think they may end up paying a lot to keep it high, they can't afford it to go down and this will get bigger and bigger in the future as well.

I really didn't know the odds, I mean I knew that it was low, but I didn't know it was THAT low, it is really weird to see that many zeroes after a zero and how little it is.

It is still quite fun, I am not doing anything extra after all, all I am doing is actually keeping up with the regular gambling I do and that happens to worth some tickets and that's fine by me, and to be quite clear I was expecting a bigger chance but even if that is the odds of winning I am fine with that, because after all I am not doing anything that should worth money, so why would I end up with so many tickets and a high chance to win, it makes sense that I just do what I always do and that gives me tickets for a very low chance, it just makes sense. Last time I finished with a bit over 10, which means by odds were a bit higher but still quite low, now I understand how people with thousands of tickets ended up winning.

The more you play the more chances you have to hit big, and obviously more chance to lose as well, but that is how gambling works, so if you are not sure about what could happen, I would say that we should probably stay with how we know and continue that way so we do not lose.

However if we spare some money aside, and chase that, with full on knowing there is a big possibility you can lose all your money during this process, as long as you are aware of the possibilities, this is more about trying to have fun chasing something and because you knew you would lose that money, you would not be worrying about that at all. It means you can try again and again many times chasing that and you could actually hit that and make a profit as well if you are lucky, and if not you would try some other time to get lucky again in the future, it is all a very difficult process.

That has been the case for regular paintings as well but that didn't stop the original ones being worth money. DO not get me wrong I do not think that these things worth this much money, and I think in a year this will worth probably under a million dollars, or maybe a bit more because it was the most expensive at one time but that was about it. However one thing is for sure, if we are talking about owning rights to a painting that would be enough.

Let me put it this way, you have seen the painting of mona lisa right? How many times did you see the original painting and how many times did you see it out of the original painting (like jpg, google, online, tv shows, movies etc etc)? You will realize that sure it could be seen everywhere and you can just share it on google everywhere, hell we have seen this beeple thingy here as well as other places, so we all know we can share it, yet it still worths money just like how real mona lisa still worths money.

Well, this is not the first time I am seeing an article written about this guy, but the funny part is that I still don’t who he is and I don’t even know his name lol. Even after reading this article I still didn’t bother about clicking the link to check, and you know why? Because the type of lifestyle you described at the end of your article spoiled it for me, not everyone is interested in following people who live that kind of lifestyle, and I think there is one thing people usually misunderstand about life, and that is thinking women and luxury cars are the good life, it’s totally wrong.

And talking about the points you said he made in the video, I don’t get why anyone would prefer to be renting houses instead of buying, unless maybe for those in the US, but for where I live it’s best that you buy a house if you can afford it. I know the kind of stress that comes with renting a house and no one wants to be going through that kind of stress. Well, motivational talks is a normal thing for some lucky folks lol. If it was easy, everyone would be rich by now. I have seen people who have read books written by the greatest men on earth, and try implement the kind of lifestyles those books talks about, but at the end they are still getting to nowhere.

So, life is never the same for everyone, what works for other people will not work for you, we are all different, so you just have to take time and think your life through to actually understand the ways you’re getting things wrong and correct it.

If you’re going to be comparing this $1 trillion market to stock markets that are worth more than that, then you’re going to be wrong because the level at which the stock markets operates is way higher than this one. Crypto is still new, and stability is one of the reasons people wanted institutions to be part of this crypto community, and we have seen a few of them making moves to join the market by investing huge sum of money.

With time we are going to see where this leads to, whether we are going to have more of them being part of the market. MicroStrategy has been one of the institutions investing big time in the market for their rich clients. Maybe if we reach a certain level the market will stabilize.

Completely agree there with you, picking an exchange is like choosing a bank account because we are sometimes going to deposit all our crypto there to trade and more than 10 exchanges I can easily recall that turned into scam. Some are selective scammers while others just shut down.

Never heard of a deposit bonus at an exchange but if anyone offers such things, I would rather avoid and be even more cautious.

I think the early signs are blocking other user's withdrawals while allowing deposits, right?

I actually never use new exchanges because I don't find a reason to fix something that isn't broken. I trade at Binance and they are more than trusted for a small trader like me and even then, I withdraw my profits into my wallet rather than keeping them on the exchange itself. I was shocked when cryptopia was hacked or they scammed, whatever. I stopped using new exchanges since then.
