No need to think of $20k anymore. Bitcoin is not same as the yearn finance to grow to the peak and fall back. The base itself varies, and now with the ongoing growth we can see Bitcoin to have a standard value. This time we can say it'll be above the $20000 margin. Market is unpredictable, but the scenario looks like a bull trend forever in 2021.

Maybe we'll see fluctuations eradicate more times, because more sellers will take advantage with the higher value. Greed contributes with the market saturation, so another opportunity will come for other traders and investors. There could be a possibility that btc will touch nearly $20k but eventually climbs back again to $30k.

It seems most bitcoiners prefer cold hardware wallets over online platforms but why is that? Considering platforms like coinbase are FDIC insured and have the best security in the business, it seems much riskier to try to secure my bitcoins on my own. I feel my house burning down or some other accident destroying my wallet is much more likely than losing it on Coinbase. And if there is a breach in coinbase, I get it back... so what am I missing?? While I’m not new to owning bitcoin, I am new to learning about it. So I apologize if this is an annoying newb question.

The easiest and best answer would be "Not your keys, Not your coin" .
It is safer in the cold storage rather than online or mobile wallet which could be hack when your phone is infected with virus.
We have back up keys so we could recover what's inside the wallet if the device ends up being misplaced.

Online or mobile wallets had also a back-up keys which you can use as a backup, so it's not a big deal if either cold wallet or other else will be used. That always depends on your comfort or easy access on your funds. Most importantly, you're securing all the best options on how to manage your asset security. Nature calamity or any device potential loss is always possible, don't ignore those ideas and always think of some presumptions.

I'm saying for them they are newbie in trading platform. Don't be greedy. You see it that coin is going to pump and pump and you Think you should buy this coin.. Firstly Don't do it. And at this time all coin is pump so do not do it.
When i was newbie, i did the same mistake so I'm suggest it all newbies. If, you are want to take profit from trading.
Learn about trading. Learn about take profit, stop loss and
Learn about fundamental analyst.

Despite of the green market encountered right now, I still prefer to hold my btc and xrp coins. Corrections hasn't yet happening, I can't afford to lose what I have recently that's why it's so important to plan for every steps before perfect market will happen. Learning process takes months or even years, and if I'll be greedy I am not helping the community but rather contribute to the market drop down.

Looking at the current bull run its evident that 2021 would be the year of Bitcoin (not a prediction, just my assumption). But will this be the year to HODL the existing Bitcoin or do daily trading? If there is no drop in the value of Bitcoin then trader's profit will be lesser than those who Hodl bitcoin. What's your take on 2021 and how do you presume this year for bitcoin?

This is truly a bullrun if we compared the current pattern from 2017, everybody never thought btc would reach awesome price at the end of 2020. The reality speaks for its action, that's why this 2021 it's just the beginning and will continue to soar more times.
Day trading can be a good option for people with huge capital, because potential passive income can be achieved if you're consistently driven with skills and patience.

Is Uphold a good app to store XRP? I am in the US. Coinbase will not trade XRP on 01/19/2021. Does Uphold has the website allow to hold and trade XRP in its website? I don't feel comfortable to download the app in my phone and carry around. I am afraid that I lost my phone or some one steals my phone. I feel more comfortable to trade XRP in the desktop computer at my home. Thanks.

If you don't feel at ease of your comfort to store funds on this kind of trading app, don't do it because from the start that's too risky. I would rather recommend you of using trusted trading app like binance or trust wallet. You can set a google authentication app linked on your wallet so you'll able to have a secondary security aside from email code sent prior log in.
Meanwhile, once uphold will gain it's reputation and trust from several users maybe we've become confident towards using their app.

Bitcoin have jump to $27000, can this be maintain by 2021?

As I've checked the updates this morning, btc showed progressive value and it remains to have it's strong momentum. We're just starting a good year of 2021, and there's no specific conclusions on that matter whether $27k will stabilized at this certain level. If possible there could be a market slight crash, due to dumps which is expected to come as well this year. The price was already high, so this is a big opportunity for every long term holders.

Any problem on provably fair like SHA-256?

IMO, even there has some new provably fair in the end the casino will always win because they have a house edge in the long term they will be always profitable. I believe thing kind of issue/discussion most of them came when they losing a feeling cheated.

Sure on a large number of bets the casino will make a profit, that's just statistics. However, a house edge doesn't mean that you can't win big time. In gambling there will always be people who lose and people who win. It averages out for the casino, but the individual gambler there can be a lot of profit being made.

Maybe on random instances every individual will probably win but not a 100% assurance, because that depends on luck. Just like on our community lottery which is promoting small time business, which is dependent with results coming from National draw. Casino business will be applicable but needs more money to operate. However, in this certain aspect regarding small business franchise; lottery can be a good passive income, much more if it can be done through online options.

I think most people don't know the concept of Pivot points. Supports and resistances are horizontal lines formulated on charts which are made by joining at least the previous two reversal points. This means there has to be some kind of trading in that area to create a pivot point in that area. Bitcoin never crossed 20K in the past which means we have no information about these points whatsoever. Any targets in such situations are taken on basis of other indicators and strategies like Elliot waves or something. The best we can have is the upward part of a trendline however the type of steep movement we have had recently I doubt even a trendline would be suffice to justify targets in such a situation.

Bitcoin market most of the time doesn't follow any kind of technical analysis applied to its chart. Sometimes, it has its own trend and will not follow any kind of formula or of that sort. We will only make some conclusion once the peak is over. But right now, let's enjoy the ride to 30k and beyond...

Normally, when peak has been reached more more conclusive ideas will about to commence. We don't know what the future really brings but continue to enjoy every opportunity given by btc. Analysis was only our reference by the time market saturates and when monitoring it's real time frequency.

If a site offers a bonus, you should always be wary of the terms and conditions. Most fair would be a bonus that comes in a reserved state so that users can use their own balance without the bonus money. If your bonus were to be in your main account, you will have problems paying out. This site also runs without a gambling license, then you should know better in advance.

It already sounded shady if you have to analyze their capacity as they've run without any legitimate license. Their bonus system was only used to attract or get attention from other people but not really giving out what they've expected to have. That's why it turns out a scam because of those reasons, not receiving any rewards as well.

The biggest bull run is bitcoin which breaks all previous record. But other coins are simple moving fast, not same as bitcoin. Hopefully, atlcoins will go bull run as soon as possible.

We're already in bullrun now, what we need to see is the stabilized market but with other coins I don't see fast moves out of it. I can't expect for more, as long as it remains strong of its momentum. Let's wait for altcoins moments to give us a good break in 2021, and I wish more profit to come for all holders.

40+ pages of discussion and everyone agrees on one thing; there are some people who does it. But nobody really gets into detail of it.

Maybe because True gambler don't Love Drama ,and it's not their Forte to Post and tell Stories in which they don't benefits at all.

Maybe unless they will be offered a Book and payments to disclose everything they struggle and succeed silence will remain in their part.

There are two types of people who can make a profit from purely gambling, one of them is the people who gamble on pvp games, such as poker because in those games there is no guarantee you will lose, and if you are good at what you do that means you could profit from it for sure, depends on your talent levels.

Second type is the one who gambles against the house edge, but they gamble on twitch, or any other platform that allows such things, and they lose money in the end but they make more profit from the income of that instead. The one that is guaranteed to lose and can't make a living is the people who wager against house edge, because even if you win short term, you can't consistently make that profit forever.

Literally you have a Knowledge about gambling , These course is really hard to achieve but yet there are successful in those areas.

Maybe there's successful but only for those wealthy individuals who take gambling as entertainment. They didn't consider money as a big deal, so they're really have time to learn gambling. Not as profession but also a lifetime fun that they may benefit from it. Unlike with less fortunate gamblers, their skills isn't worth it because of money issues.

I need some opinion on the Rockets vs Nuggets game. Line : Rockets +7.5

Last time, they were an underdog against the Trail Blazers but they almost win, now against the Nuggets.

Do they have a shot here, can they cover that spread? I also want to know if Cousins, Wall and Gordon will be playing here or not yet?

There's no assurance if Wall and Gordon will be playing, we need to observe any possible instances whether these guys would soon be here. Maybe that's possible that they'd cover that up as long as they've remain consistent on their skills.
Let's be confident that they'll able to make it in their upcoming games, just stay positive.

The odds difference are widely gap with McGregor considered not just a Favorite but a Heavy Favorite.

Odds provider will not just give an odds like that if they won't see McGregor will be dominant in that match.

I think this will be a landslide victory and a 2-0 win for McGregor. But with the odds given to Poirier, as a gambler, it's tempting to risk a bet for him. Let's see.

The chances that McGregor has, is intimately high and referring in the poll results he had a highest bet for now.
I don't think there will be changes in the upcoming days, but I don't think others would now try to desire for having odds with other challenger. Victory for McGregor is really a sure potential for him and unfortunately there's no room for his rivals.

At this moment, I am sure we can make money because the market now is green again after it was red candle yesterday. Searching for the other income source will be good for us because we will have a chance to make more money. So do not give up if you are not making money this time, but you need to believe still that you will have your chance to make money in the future.

IMO, a trader should be trading all the time irrespective of the market condition that will make him as skillful trader then successful as well in long run.If you are going to be a trader you must have some other source of income which gives constant cash flow which will help you to make trading more intensively.

There's a lot of ways to prevent you from using the funds in trading, it can be from passive income of a physical business. It could be a good alternative in order to earn while holding a good coins while in green market. You don't know what will happen in the future when sudden spikes will occur then you'll able to take profits once your holdings reached a good price.

I advise you not to participate in arbitrage betting practices. this is a guarantee for problems with bookmakers. they can close your account and not cash out your winnings. if you want money without taking risks, you should go to work and not gamble

Some problem occurs with this one before in my place where one of the winners are the enemy of the one who’s running this local sports book, they didn’t give the winning prize, so I also suggest not to participate on this one because its more risky and its better to participate on online gambling site where you can play anonymously.

If that is happening to us, we need to stay away from that place because we will not have a chance to get the money, even if we win legally. No matter what the winner does, the local bookies will do anything to prevent that winner can take the money. I agree that we can use online gambling sites to prevent that fraudulence from the local bookies. Besides that, we can stay away to get a problem from the government if the gambling activity is not legal in our place.

Most places specially here in my local area got the problem on authority, jobless person seeks money letting individuals bet for lottery tickets with illegal platforms. Fraud and cheating of winning amount is their tactics to attract gamblers in order to divert demands from them. Convincing them to stay aways was too impossible, since many local followers were now their patronizers of illegal gambling activity that overtaken by this kind of schemes.

There is very little regulation when it comes to online gambling. Casinos can just take your money and you are at their mercy. There is nobody that you can turn to because authorities don't like to get involved in these types of disputes. The only thing you can do is complain and hope you get enough attention and they will be convinced through pressure to return your funds.

That requires strong proof before authorities investigate this matter, and basically they won't intervene if the accusations has no significant issues. Refund or return of funds is not possible unless their management will accommodate this serious concern. Hopefully this matter will be address properly to avoid possible circumstances.

I think being consistent is also hard.

You never know what will be the movement so what other investors do is that they adjust from some certain movements that is why being consistent is hard. It still depend on the investors on how will they adapt on the changes that are happening. It will comes down on the knowledge they have which is still based on probabilities.

A reality we have to accept in life is that nothing is easy, and nothing comes easy. So if trading is hard, then we should know after learning trading, consistency in trading will also take awhile before perfection. Hence the reason why we just continue to trade until we can consistently take profits.

Consistent take profit in cryptocurrencies in my opinion is quite complicated to do,
indeed when the market is bullish we just hold on, and our capital will increase, because our portfolios are rising,
but in the world of cryptocurrencies there is no certainty. , and we are required to be careful, especially in trade and investment.

Don't trade when its not yet in a good timing, because some folks invest their money during highest peak and that's the main reason why emotions takes place. Though we're not certain often times, we need to develop the skills by plotting a graph monitoring on coins that we're holding. On that strategy, you'll determine how the price fluctuates so we can decide what will be our next moves.

Bitcoin is happiness just for the individuals who realize how to utilize and spend the bitcoins.
Anyone can extract happiness from bitcoin the first principle is that we must be patient and genuine.

There's a huge amount of individuals who don't have a clue how to utilize bitcoin to get more cash-flow and toward the end, they sell their all coin in frenzy. The joy is straightforwardly corresponding to the patient we accomplish for our future purpose. So hold your bitcoin and remain cheerful.

There's no assurance for everybody to remain cheerful when downtrend market happens, we need to learn how to control our emotions. Despite of happiness experienced during pumping season, the reality still exists and I think that's a very interesting part of cryptocurrency. Profit is always enjoyable and we're lucky enough to take it, but every actions need limits to avoid being drowned financially.

BTC is rapidly moving up and broke 25k mark for first time in history, whenever the price of BTC pumps more than a month it triples for sure. As long as money continues entering the market at this price and holder's who Don't want to sell their btc then automatically price will go up more quickly than it did in the past, these positive trend's say BTC is all set to make a massive record this time.

This is now becoming an history for all of us who've been patronizing cryptocurrency. Let's be careful when price already reached at a very profitable value, corrections might occur at random situations. Price would increase until the end of 2020, then possible saturation is expected to happen next year depending on market behavior.

In recent times I have understand that most beginner traders don't know the kind of trader they're. Either
1. Scalper
2. Day trader
3. Swing Trader
4. Position Trader.

Which of these trading methods/style is the best (that you use), and you can recommend and why.

Any of these trading style will be applicable depending on how you managed to do it in times of needs. When market movement has high and low fluctuations at frequent times, it's certain to choose day trading, but if you're not having real time monitoring then you're just holding enough amount; position trader will be effective as you waited for acquired price to come. Swing or scalper I haven't yet apply that, since I am not fun with unfamiliar styles and I only apply those I think efficient in my trading.
