It's better to think of the glass half full and take advantage of this buying opportunity.  This gives us one last chance to buy cheap coins before the crypto market reaches new all time highs.  This is what seperates the true hodlers from the panic sellers, holding is always rewarded in the end.  Stay patient everyone and don't lose faith.
1122  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ballon d'Or Winner on: November 17, 2018, 05:59:50 PM
Have any crypto sports betting sites opened some lines on this?  Would be interested to see the odds.  Maybe we can have some friendly bets going on in the forum...?  Wink



Seems like there is too much risk for this information to be leaked.  It's not like you can know who will win a football match but the information is determined beforehand by voters, it is at a high risk to be abused.  I wouldn't put it past anyone in FIFA considering how many scandals they have gone through in the past.
1123  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto exchanges not helping Bitcoin! on: November 17, 2018, 05:52:40 PM
A lot of these new exchanges are giving new crypto users a bad experience.  They are freezing accounts, holding funds, not being able to handle sign ups, etc.  We already have too many exchanges as it is.  It seems as though a new exchange opens every single day and often by shady individuals.  Just look at how many exchanges got "hacked" the past two years.
1124  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Friendly advice/warning about gambling in this market on: November 15, 2018, 07:13:33 PM
yawn......just another day in crypto.  Bitcoin has always been super volatile, especially in the early days.  I'm sleeping just fine and will wait out this storm like always.  If anyone is concerned about this they can place their bets in fiat or convert their crypto to a stable coin like tether.  Gamblers are usually more inclined towards risk anyways.
1125  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble or think it's a waste of money and time? on: November 15, 2018, 06:56:44 PM
Seeing how the odds are pretty often against you in gambling as the gambling services are for making money out of you and not the reverse, do you still decide to gamble? If so, why?

Most of simply gamble to have a good time and relieve stress.  As long as your not losing your house the extra money lost won't really harm you.  I prefer sportsbetting over normal games of chance because I get a lot more action for my money.  Is anything really a waste of time? We are all going to die eventually so if you think about it does anything really matter.

Its the entire crypto market, it's not just ethereum.  The whole crypto market follows the trend of bitcoin.  Every market goes through corrections, all we have to do is wait it out.  I'm personally buying more crypto right now and the price of Eth is an absolute steal right now.  I'm surprised it's below 200 dollars again but it's just another great buying opportunity.
1127  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin - the future "stable coin" on: November 15, 2018, 06:38:50 PM
I love how something stable can drop 20% in one day and it's considered normal..........

For what its worth Bitcoin is relatively stable compared to the other altcoins excluding the ones pegged to the USD.  Bitcoin is basically the gold standard of the crypto world and it's the only coin that most people trust.
1128  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC is falling !! on: November 15, 2018, 06:04:33 PM
A lot of manipulators trying to scare off new investors.  Some people are even calling for a $2k bitcoin again.  This is just ridiculous.  Don't be a fool and sell off to the whales.  We are all getting played and this is just a temporary crash like always.  Just use this as a buying opportunity, seize the moment while others are scared.
1129  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Defining Risk on: November 14, 2018, 01:19:53 PM
We won't get anywhere in life without taking some risks.  Some risks have a bigger downside than others but in the crypto world the risk can be enormous.  A lot of coins have dropped over 90% any may never recover to their previous highs.  I'm well suited for this anyways, we all die in the end so we might as well roll the dice and try to strike it big.
1130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: is it still profitable? How many rigs do the big boys still have... on: November 14, 2018, 01:06:46 PM
It's already over for the home miners, the only people making big profits are the giant farms with extremely low electricity.  It was fun while it lasted but I suggest selling off your GPUs before they become worthless.  Maybe if you have solar power or really cheap electricity you can continue mining but for most people it is not worth it anymore in the slightest.
1131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Jobless No More on: November 14, 2018, 12:44:33 PM
People need guaranteed money if they are trying to survive.  They can't be chasing pipe dreams and lottery tickets if they need to pay for food and shelter.  Anyways a lot of people that are in financial need don't have access to a computer with internet.  I know this seems like a basic thing in today's age but a lot of people still don't have access to a computer.
1132  Economy / Economics / Re: Future of Bitcoins - What will happens to BTC on: November 14, 2018, 12:35:21 PM
Bitcoin has a bright future, adoption will climb while the inflation rate will drop.  We sill see a massive jump in price after the next halving.  If you have any doubts look at how much money has been invested into mining facilities the past few years.  Wall street has also started to dip their toes into the cryptocurrency market.

1134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: KYC as a Scam on: November 11, 2018, 02:59:38 PM
I would just avoid any project that requires KYC, there is just too much risk involved.  Your personal information can be sold to criminals and you may become a victim of identity fraud.  I only give my personal information to a few crypto exchanges that I actually trust but there is even a risk involved with that.  Another tactic you have to watch out is when crypto services let you deposit funds without a KYC but once you try to withdraw they do a background check.
1135  Economy / Speculation / Re: The Markets Fluctuate Wildly. Why Invest Then? on: November 11, 2018, 02:50:27 PM
I can see fluctuations in the market I think this is not the time for investment... Is my opinion is right Or wrong

Some of us welcome risky investments because they have the highest chance of big returns.  IF you want to play it safe you can buy government bonds and stay poor.  This is nothing new for us crypto veterans, these markets have always been super volatile.  I can definitely see how retail investors are scared to enter the crypto market with the recent crash we have experienced.
1136  Economy / Economics / Re: What is the problem of trust in projects? on: November 11, 2018, 02:39:32 PM
You can't just single this out as a crypto problem, much bigger scams have been going on the financial world since companies started.  Look at the massive fraud done by Enron.  They misrepresented billions of dollars and ended up being worthless.  The biggest stock companies can end up betraying your trust if they are run by shady individuals, so you have to be even more careful in the crypto world which has less regulation.
1137  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does this sound realistic? on: November 11, 2018, 02:34:46 PM
It is very easy to advice to say to do this and that to get rid of gambling addiction by doi g this and that but this advice won't work for even on 10% gamblers.

Gambling addiction starts by first playing for fun but when you lose high you start to this k how you lost and then you do more gambling and then this way you become addicted to gambling in recovering you're loss.

So the theory is that everything is on gamblers will to kill his full investment or forget the loss and leave with what left and live happily

I think some people are just born with a more addictive personality which causes them to get easily hooked on gambling.  It isn't exactly the same but alcoholics tend to follow the addiction pattern of their other family members so we shouldn't put too much blame on individuals.  Quite frankly, as long as they aren't harming other people I don't see a problem with it.
1138  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Decentralized exchanges on: November 11, 2018, 02:27:24 PM
Decentralized haven't gained much of traction as of yet.  Most people are still using decentralized exchanges like Binance or Coinbase.  I believe decentralized exchanges will be the future, it's better to just cut out the middleman and let users exchange with each other.  The whole point of cryptocurrency is decentralization for crying out loud.
1139  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: November 09, 2018, 02:19:06 PM
The old saying holds true, "money won is a lot sweeter than money earned."  People that gamble at casinos or play the lottery are looking for a quick way out of their situation or chasing an adrenaline rush.  The feeling of winning a large amount can't really compare to anything else.  Once you get a taste it can be hard to quit because you are always chasing those emotions.
1140  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin and Inflation on: November 09, 2018, 02:07:01 PM
A lot of people are getting into bitcoin because their nation's currency has inflation rates set by government that can be changed at anytime.  We have already seen the inflation crisis in Zimbabwe and Venezuela and how it devastated the citizens.  Bitcoin inflation is set by code and can't be changed without a fork.  I would rather trust math over a central party with complete control.
