Not too many people here consider bounty hunting as their day job, and those that do are likely the higher profile users that are able to generate a more respectable income from bounties or the diligent bounty hunters that actually do extensive research into projects before wasting their time working for them, only to be failed at the end when they fail to reach their soft cap or scam. I think that if you're from a low income country, then bounty hunting might be able to generate a reasonable wage for you, but certainly don't expect to earn the big bucks unless you really step up your game.

Well, the SEC have been tasked with approving or denying Bitcoin ETFs for a long time now, and every time they've delayed it until a later date. They have a major decision coming up in a couple of days, which will likely be delayed, hence causing the market to drop below $6,000 this time, since last time it dropped from $7,300 to just above $6,000 because of their antics.

It wasn't this bad last year, probably because the market was in a huge bull run, and people actually had promising news and realistic speculation to talk about.  Nowadays everything is in the red and people are just scrambling for the scraps. I wouldn't expect that section to improve until the market does, it seems that they go hand in hand.

I think what you're talking about is matched betting, where you take advantage of odds discrepancies between different bookmakers to ensure that you cannot lose regardless of the match outcome. I would say that if this is indeed what you're talking about, then this is more certain than trading as you literally cannot lose, whereas trading is always associated with some degree of risk. Best to do both at low levels, until you work out what's best for you. Though the matched betting tends to have very low limits so you can't win too much.

How can you be a trader and a gambler at the same time? Surely you know they're at complete opposite ends of the spectrum? Quit gambling ASAP bro, you will likely regret it. Don't let coincidental big wins cloud your judgement, or think you can defy the odds, because you probably won't. Save yourself some future headache by stopping early.

In the current market, other than short bursts of bull trends, Bitcoin is outperforming the altcoins, this is clear due to the increasing bitcoin dominance that has been seen in recent weeks. Until BTC dominance drops down to about 30-35%, then BTC is likely to remain a safer and more profitable bet in the long term, other than a few outlier alt coins.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a bounty that constitutes 5% of the total supply, but if I were an investor, I would definitely be extremely worried if the bounty was such a high fraction, that leads for an extraordinary risk of a market dump once it hits the exchange. The probably is bounty hunters often sell below ICO price, making their investment automatically worthless, for most projects it's actually wiser to buy in after it hits an exchange for this very reason.

The market is likely being manipulated currently, the fact that it keeps hovering under $7,500 and crashing after every SEC meeting is highly suspicious. Prepare for the market to enter the red zone on Sept 21st next month.

Odds are that we will get to the Sept 21 deadline, and the SEC will delay the decision once again to next year, this delay decision will then knock the price of BTC back down under $7,000 if we reached $8,000 by the time. Old men making decisions about new technology, somebody tell me why they are qualified to decide?

Ethereum has already surpassed Bitcoin, it really depends on your perspective. In terms of utility, Ethereum is far superior due to its VM functions. Also, if you sum the value of all ERC-20 tokens with the Ethereum mcap, you'll see that Bitcoin dominance is only around 10% higher, which is pretty crazy considering Ethereum only launched in 2014.

Take my advice with masternodes, I've bought into enough of them to know when to see a scam. The fact is, 90% of new masternode coins will fail to prove the ROI's that they offer, simply because their network will not grow as fast as they expect it will. Anything offering more than 10-20% per year is likely to fail, so just stick with the tried and true offerings such as Dash.

True that, they both took some heavy blows in their first bout, and kept coming forward. If anybody is going to get KO'd it's going to be Saul since GGG has the better knockout record, though I'd say that is a very unlikely outcome. I think it's gonna be a long, gruesome slugfest just like the first one. I really think if they want a KO, they need to come out swinging in the first round, which is't gonna happen.

There's no such thing as beginner's luck. There are only beginner's who got lucky initially which caused them to delve further into the world of gambling, and often coming online to discuss their success and convince other players to do the same, whilst 60% of newbies actually end up losing money and never go on to talk about beginner's luck. Confirmation bias in action.

Nearly every time you see a thread starting with "Have you heard this" it's actually a newbie or Jr. member shilling a project in a very obvious way, I doubt this is any different. The truth is nobody has heard of your project, because it's terrible.

I personally think that bounty managers should just implement a merit requirement into their campaigns, requiring Jr members to have at least 1-2 merit to participate. Realistically Theymos isn't likely to restrict Jr. members further otherwise he would have done it already, so the bounty managers need to be the ones to curb this crap.

I don't think the spammers actually read the rules or care about actively trying to improve their post quality.

They tend to spam due to signature campaign requirements, so it might just be best to have an option to automatically mute anybody who has more than 50% of their posts in the bounty section. Seems harsh, but I bet it would work.

Looks like both Golovkin and Canelo want to settle this with a knockout, though I doubt either of them will be able to accomplish it given the fact that neither have ever been KO'd and they had a pretty fast pace even in their last fight.

I'm gonna have to go for GGG by MD or UD.

Many bounty campaigns offer almost as many tokens as were distributed to investments, especially in todays market where few campaigns raise more than $10m. it's quite common to see a bounty give away $2m in coins, and sell $2m in tokens, that means the hunters and investors have equal opportunity to dump.

Hard to not have regrets when many people's portfolios have decreased by almost 70% in just a few months. For new investors I would strongly recommend NOT holding, and instead selling out when the market takes a significant drip, it might mean selling out at a loss, but it will save you more potential losses in the long run.

I think that teaching people to enjoy gambling responsibly is the main priority. You will never convince people to avoid gambling entirely, it's part of human nature. As long as they can reliably control their impulses and not put themselves in financial trouble, then there's no issue with gambling, it's a sport after all. Just don't go ruining your life whilst playing!
