What circumstances made you lost large numbers though? Usually if you are shy and embarrassed, you will just not put any bet. Anyways, 2 nights ago a went to a casino and it was my first time there, maybe I already have a experience player so I was able to play some slot machines.

However, I'm still a little shy as far as table games in concern. I have second thoughts of a baccarat table and end up just watching the game instead of making money. LOL. Anyways, its all good though, just maybe I felt this shyness again.

Nah, I much prefer using my own guts and instinct instead of those trading bots. And there was one exploit on bots as well that tried to hacked some users using it in Binance however, they are not successful and they eventually lost money in the end. So just beware that bots can be really used as a tool to hack.

But there are people who claims that they are made a lot of profits using trading bot. Maybe there are the developer of the bot or they are really that good that they know what the bot can react on market situations. But personally, I haven't used any on my years of trading.

Chances are, there will be Game 7 as well on the West as Chris Paul will missed their first attempt to go to the Finals. We all noticed that Houston only uses or played 7 players on rotation, and missing the vital link will really affect their game.

Harden will be again put on a greater pressure specially on the offense. If Warriors can get good defense on him and force him some turovers, we might see another Game 7 as well.

Consensus proved nothing as the price didn't spike during the week long event. Although I really like how Lee is influencing the market with his bullish prediction. Every time he has a chance to talk, he always forecasted this and that price and we should not be surprised because he is a holder just like Mike N.

But most of the time is really tiring to see and listen to them because we all know that they all have vested interest that's why they keep this positive sentiments however, if you are into crypto longer at the back of your mind 2018 is very different and getting to 5 digits is already a milestone. Conservative estimates should be put around $15K, in my opinion.

Those 2 is part of the core team so them not playing will have a greater impact on the team psychologically. And the collapsed on Warriors last game is also a big factor, but I do hope they bounce back so that we can see a Game 7.

Definitely the pressure will be on Cavaliers. James need another monster game but I'm sure that Celtics specially Tatum's performance will put a good fight once again. Looks like James is showing fatigue so we don't know if he can really sustained this kind of phase and be able to lift Cavaliers again to the Finals.

That's why I don't believed in waiting for the price to really bottom before purchasing bitcoin. If you really wanted to join cryptocurrency and be an investor specially in bitcoin then you can buy anything and if a better opportunity presents itself then take advantage of it if not then at least you already has purchased it.

I still remember such incident and I read a lot of members believing that bitcoin can still go bottom, but alas, the next 24 hours was a sudden pump and the price increases by $1K. That was last year and it was a valuable lesson that everyone should really enter the sooner because we really don't know the price and sentiments of the investors. Better to accumulate early if you can.

For me its not just the crypto who has gone down in the last 24 hours and Nasdaq and Dow Jones are just up by less than 1%. So its global and let's not isolate crypto market in general. My opinion about decline, it will be short live and I don't think that will go down below $7K. When everything has settled down in the next 2-3 days, the price could go up again in the $8K level.

Something must have triggered this crypto bloodbath again (manipulation?), but I have a feeling that it will not go on another 72 hours without making a break out run again.

Right, and if you think that you are mentally tough and have the correct mindset before entering a casino, then you are wrong. Because one you are loosing, everything changes, and the more you want to quit and just go home and not chase your losses, the more you are suckered it.

I don't know about positive thinking though, it is still based on pure luck and for me no amount of positive thinking will change the roll of the dice or the outcome of the game.

You just have to be prepared for the worst when you enter thee gambling world. Most of the time it breaks people and we know what the worst thing that can happen to us.

Reasons that I can think of:

1. Fear of the unknown
2. Its not physical
3. Too complicated
4. Risky
5. Government bans and regulations
6. Used for illegal activities

There are other reasons though. I also given up telling crypto to my friends and even families. But when they saw me making a lifestyle change and asking where do I get all my money from, I simply said bitcoin. If they still haven't got the message, then its their lost not mine. hehehehe.

So if gambling is illegal in your country then why are you playing online still? Looks like you are trying to get away thru online gambling but sooner or later you will be caught. So better stop otherwise you will be on trouble.

I'm still a landbased casino guy though, will prefer to travel even alone (much better with friends though). Don't get me wrong, I also play online, but it doesn't gave me the excitement or frustrations that a traditional casino does. And most of the time, crappy internet leads me to really go out and play on those big casino's here.

Well it they didn't scale and update their code then consider them dead in the next couple of months. XVG has been enjoying a good run until the hacks started and investors losing their faith on the coin, and when they are about to gain steam the hackers attack again.

Maybe the devs doesn't care of that the hackers are really that good to found another exploit that causes another attack in two months. I don't have investment in XVG, but for those holders, this is another big blow and will cause headaches to the already struggling market and worsening situation.

But for Europeans and other high rollers on the other side of the planet, Las Vegas is their destination for many years and Macau has been in the limelight recently.

So its either gamblers stateside will, go to New Jersey or experiment this so called crypto online gambling. If most of them, choose  the latter, then its going to help crypto go the next level. So early to say though, but lets hope that this will bring fresh blood to pump the market for the purpose of gambling.

Damn it. I was already on the losing side, but able to recover my .035 BTC bank roll but I didn't stop and continue to play and sadly I quickly and decided to quit with just .006 BTC. I should have stop when I was able to recover everything with just 4 spins.

Anyways, consider it another string of bad luck, I guess I'm greedy and wasn't able to control my emotions again. I was really thinking of quitting but thinking that I can double it again was a worst decision.

So it looks like a win-win situation for Golden State then? Whoever they face (Cavs or Celtics) they have a high chance of defeating them and earn back to back championships. But let's see, they have to finish off the Rockets and Harden and secure the finals slot in the West side.

As for the Cavs vs Celtics, Boston may have been exposed but I'm sure that young Celts will get a hard time for Lebron. He will have to earn every win because they are going back to the Celtics homecourt which we all knew is very important in this series. If they able to pull one on the road then I don't see them losing in Game 6.

Binance already set the bar high, superb support, quick actions against potential threat that's why they are number 1 right now. So its up to other exchanges to catch up.


If that is the case then good for them. It's a sign that they are gaining the trust of the traders but it will take some time to have trading volumes increases. As others have said, it's not a overnight process. Although I have one bad experience against them, but I think its a isolated case.

Well it might be true but I'm not surprise at all because they see Bitcoin as main competitor so it makes sense to hear this kind of argument. But there are ways to mitigate risk by having a global payment service provider if you wanted to accept bitcoin as payment method.

The previous week really shows us though that predicting bitcoin is very difficult. Everyone thought that the consensus week will be a big boost however, we still suffer losses during and after the conference.

As for the continued crypto ad bans by social media giants, I haven't see any significant effect though.

So I would say that we are still on-track to get to 5 digits very soon.

I agree as well, he has all the momentum going and I'm sure that those watching thought that he will bet Nadal, however, it wasn't meant to be as the rain delay chance the complexion of the game, he lost his momentum and Nadal took over because of his experience.

Yes, I'm sure that when the betting line opens for the French Open, Zverev's odd will offer us a good value and we won't regret betting on him so we might as go and take the chance.

Include Venezuela as well, with their beloved Petro. And there are reports that Russia and Venezuela are already using Petro to trade with one another and up to this time, I still believed that Russian has one of the biggest investors in Petro coins.

I don't think that it has significant effect on the market though, as I'm not fully aware that they are offering it publicly (correct me If I'm wrong), and I haven't seen Petro/BTC pairing up to now. Although it might be traded on Venezuela's local exchanges. Another worth mentioning though is in essence its not a true crypto, because its a centralize coin, backed by oil reserves. But it will be trend in the long run specially countries who are under heavy sanctions from the West but has a lot of oil reserves like Iran.

Been asked many times as well since 2016. Lol. And that one of the weirdest decisions that I ever seen in recent memories.

However, that stage is step and let's see if he is really going to help the Belgian team. I just hope though that Belgian Federation has made the right choice though, because for me extending him for another 2 year coaching stint is a mistake.

If its a total hammer ban then it will be very tough for you to continue because I'm sure that they are putting a tougher fines or even jail time if they found you guilty of bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading. Someone suggested that you move to a crypto friendly nation, but I will assume that is out of the question.

My country still supports crypto so I don't really have the answer except offer some suggestions. To circumvent the ban, maybe you can used Tor or VPN to continue to do trading. But you know that the risk is there so just be careful. Or just continue to accumulate as much bitcoin as you can and maybe one day your government will make a sudden U-turn and accepts it.
