Right now bitcoin is my favorite investment to make. I have invested in gold once and that was my first investment in 2014, and I later sold my gold and then I started investing in bonds and they were not really something I liked.

I had plans to get back to gold investment, before I stumbled on Bitcoin while I was doing a completely different research, and I picked interest in it and decided to look further into it and after that, by late 2015 I was ready to start investing in Bitcoin and it has been the best investment. Gold is also good, and I guess if I never discovered bitcoin when I wanted to quit investment in bonds, I would have been investing in gold by now.

I haven’t invested in Tezos for a long time now, but if I can remember very well, earlier around December of last year and going into the start of this year, the position of Tezos in the market was 19th position, but right now the position is 29th, that shows that it has taken ten steps back from it’s former position of 19th, wow, so a lot of coins really have overtaken it in the race.

Tezos has always been slow, but steady. It’s good to see the growth so far, because it has more than doubled with its current rate of over $6 and a bigger market cap of $4 billion. So, it’s definitely an investment that will be worth making, even though it might not be as big as the other investments that are rocking heavily.

I think most of the videos you’re going to have to pay for online on websites like Udemy can be gotten for free on other platforms like YouTube, although you might have to be doing some deep research to find exactly what you’re looking for.

The good thing about the platforms where you have to pay for them is that the particular subject you want to learn will have everything about it arranged in one package and you will learn everything that you’re supposed to learn, unlike YouTube where you will have to be searching for them and might not even be aware of some important things you have to learn and ignore them. You can find courses about blockchain on all these platforms.

I'm not finding any of crypto exchanges are complex to understand its interface. Because almost all the exchanges are having similar layout and UX which makes easier for all the new people to get start trading without any guidelines. Probably you are talking about some exchange which I have never visited, I guess.

In my opinion, exchanges which are honest and processing withdraw requests on time must be good exchanges because I will not be having any problem to clear KYC and other similar things.

I have read always most bots will be working like this in long run because bots are just programming codes which cannot be coping up with ever-changing different market conditions; but it would be much better instead of getting you false signals, your bots are not at all generating any signal; at least this way your capital will be secured.

I had plans to buy bots at many times because of lack of time to trade by myself but instead of risking with bots then I decided to invest only on bitcoin for holding purposes and not for trading purposes.

After getting know about the current marketcap of gold, I realize how big is quadrillion and this way OP is not making sense. There are very less possibility for bitcoin market to be reaching such huge marketcap.

But, we cannot say anything about the future when some governments will be discovering more number of goldmines and all the investments from gold will be shifting into bitcoin then this kind of marketcap may happen. But if you ask about the possibility then I would say it will be around 0.001%

Well, I did the same thing that you did. I have not tried day trading before in the cryptocurrency market because I am afraid of day trading assets since my experience with Forex and Binary Options were very bad, so I decided to stay clear from anything that has to do with trading ,so since I got to know about cryptocurrency , starting with bitcoin, I have always made sure that what I am doing is just to invest and HODL the money till there is an increase in the market and I can sell and withdraw my money.

I was able to get in at $6k and sold when the price got to $12k cause I felt that would be the highest it would go. When the price started going up and reached $17k decided to buy again and the I held till $45k and sold half of it because I felt like the price has increased too much. But since it kept moving, I haven’t sold the remaining coins I have.

You just said the truth about majority of the crypto users, they really don’t care about the decentralization, they just care about whether it’s going to suit their needs for transactions and whatsoever else they want, as long as it is a solution for them they are definitely going for it and they are not looking back when they start making use of it.

So, as to whether the BNB is going to keep growing, that is for sure, it is going to keep on adding more value everyday, because a lot of people are going to be investing in it and nothing else. And with the situation of bitcoin and Ethereum now, a lot of people will going for BNB.

I do not think that it will come anytime soon, but at the same time I do not believe that its long way away neither. We started this increase around October, it has been around 6 months or so, and that means its doing great right now, but I do not think that it will go another 6 months neither. I think we will keep going up until summer, and during sometime this summer we will start to see bitcoin having a bit of trouble going even higher, we have gone so much high these days that I do not think that we will have any similar increases again.

We have gone up about x6 and then some, if you look at previous year we were even under 10k so we can say we increased as much as x10, I do not think that we could ever go x10 this quickly ever again unless it drops super low which I think it won't. This is why it will have hard time going higher in the near future.

I wanted to say that the idea was basically rich people can keep gambling longer than poor people and that was the point. Sure poor people can gamble so much that they could lose their cars, houses even get to a point where they will lose jobs, loved ones and more. However even if a poor person goes as much as to a point they are homeless without a single person in their life and a single dollar to their name, they still can't reach to rich peoples levels, and that's just a fact.

I can sell every single thing I ever own right now, and it still wouldn't be nowhere near the levels of these people, literally every single thing I own would not be worth the amount these people are putting up. This is why I understand that poor people could gamble more and more if they are not careful and that's a bad thing, but even in that situation they are not gambling like rich people.

This is what exactly where I am having big confusion because when I'm not greedy then I am exiting too early at the same time when I am waiting for more time for bigger profits then market is coming down unexpectedly. For example, I failed to sell my BCH when it was trading at around 0.3 BTC but it is trading more than 10x lower to that price levels.

Definitely we must need good knowledge on where to book profits and for which coins we should wait more. When we are not having that kind of knowledge then definitely we must need to undergo suffering by losing good opportunities.

Wouldn’t be bad if you still continue with splitting it and keeping some of them bank while the rest goes to bitcoin. Bitcoin is good and the percentage of return can be high at times, but that shouldn’t be the reason why you would be investing or saving all your money in Bitcoin, because there are still times that the market can be really bad, although this year have been different and we haven’t experienced any of those really bad bear markets or corrections that pushes the market to plummeting to a very low price. So you have to be very careful of what you’re buying .

I know there are lots of people who wouldn’t call this a big news because they are expecting bigger and mainstream companies to start adopting bitcoin before they will regard the adoption. They are all forgetting that it is little things like this one that makes the change, it has to start with the small companies first doing it and by the time there are many of them small companies that are accepting , it will become the new trend and you will start seeing the bigger companies talking about accepting it too.

So, we should also be happy when we see these small companies accepting it, that’s going to help with promoting Bitcoin and increasing the rate at which people adopt it.

Honestly people who have the money for gambling this much also has the chance to keep gambling as much as possible. They could simply just ignore all the money it would cost them and keep gambling as much as possible to get there, this is a game challenge for them. Like how you would open up your steam account, pick a game, play there and get an achievement on that game? It is like that for them, because they have so much money that the amount they spend here is nothing to do them at all, it is like game money for them.

At the end of the day they will win these things, wagering competitions, closes to bla bla competitions, many things like that, you could even do something that is not regarding money and they would still have a bigger chance because they are capable of gambling so much without caring about what they are losing. This is not really a bad thing, if you are rich and like doing it why not do it?

I won’t really say that it is being helpful in our daily lives, because most of us here don’t make use of bitcoin for our daily needs, mostly what we are making use of is the fiat and nothing more than that. And if we decide to make use of bitcoin in making a purchase it is going to be something that we do once in a while and not on a steady basis. But as for merchants accepting Bitcoin, you can find lots of them online if you search for them.

For example there is Overstock, although I think they mostly deal on Homesgoods, especially furniture. Then there is purse.io that people uses for making different purchase. There might be less of them, but they are available.

It depends on the exchange, but what kind of information are they requesting for that you don’t really like , is it the submitting of ID? Every exchange I know does that, except the decentralized exchanges.

When you register on some of the centralized exchanges at first, they wouldn’t ask for anything but they will try limit most of the things you can do on the exchange, that way you will be forced to do KYC, and the KYC has different stages , the first one they will require you to give your name, address’s, phone number and other basic details. Then the next stage of the KYC is to submit your ID to verify yourself. Then there are those that will even ask for you to take a selfie holding your ID card lol.

There is really no such thing as low risk, it all comes down to how you play your game, like one of the things you have to do to reduce your risk is to be trading with small amount that won’t affect your pocket in case things should go wrong, and then you have to be making use of stop loss, although sometimes it can cause you to miss out when the market suddenly goes up again after a dip, that’s why you have to be focused on your trade.

Then you can try Hodl, but you have to be careful of which coins you’re Hodl’ing, and you also have to understand that the market does not go up all the time and also it can take years for another bull run to happen, just like the current bull run, we had to wait for years and some people even gave up. So if you choose to just Hodl, buy at the right time and be ready to hold for a long time.

Coinbase is a good one, but if you’re going to be using it for trading it is best that you make use of the Coinbase trading platform which is CoinbasePro because with that you’re going to be saving up from fees than when you’re making use of the wallet in trading.Apart from the fees that might be high for you, Coinbase is a good and secure platform to mask use of.

In terms of popularity, there are other exchanges that are very popular too such Kraken, Binance, Huobi, Poloniex and so many of them. Binance is the choice for most people and it is the most popular and is even bigger than Coinbase when you check their daily volume, and they have less fees than when you’re making use of Coinbase. You should try them two out and compare to know which is best for you.

This community and its lessons are always marvelous but it seems no gambler is learning from this kind of threads but they do their level of "irresponsible gambling" and then coming up with another such topic. Do gamble with care or responsible is not a new advice here but people like you are more keen to bring up here your own stories.

I am not finding this as a valid reason. You will able to deviate your focus if you are good in self-control. I have seen many addicted gamblers who are into regular job for years. Moreover, if you are into any job then you can easily get loans which will again help you to ruin your finance more problematic.

Even though I believe that Nets are not a proper "team" yet even though they have amazing players, I also think that this one game is not indication of how they will be like. Lakers is still the previous champions and even without AD and Lebron they are still a great team, but normally Nets should have won this game easily, but just because they lost it and lost it with 25 points, doesn't mean that they are a horrible team neither. They are a great team who had a bad game, that is the only thing we could take away from this game.

At the end of the day we are talking about Nets here, with irving, harden, durant and that three alone is great and enough, with the help of their other players they will be good. I just do not believe that they are "team" enough to win this year, but maybe next year when everyone is perfectly healthy and pandemic is not as much of a problem, they could become a serious threat.
