I have not read any books about bitcoin or crypto, but it did not prevent me from trading and understanding how it works

I don't think a newbie one should be trusted on it since it was money involved game if he want a bet partner he needs to do it in person I mean approach people here to meet you and gamble and play with him. Since you will give  him a percent. It's better to gamble on your own that involve with the money of others. What if you lose it? A big amount let's say. It ruin you.

As the tittle says I am just curious to know what are the weird experiences on betting.For some it might be betting on a weird game or they faced some weird situation while betting and lot more possibilities to catch up...
Well, one of the most weird things that I experience in gambling is that I use my friend's strategy the same strategy like her but I never win so that I never try again gambling until this days since I guess that I am not good at it and my luck was not in gambling tho. So, I try some and not gambling anymore lol.

Hey.
Just a quick question to you guys - How much money I need to start investing on Bitmex?
Im thinking about using leverage, I know it's risky but my capital won't be too big.
It is always up to you how much money you want to invest, lol. The higher the investment the bigger the profit but also bigger the risk.

Altcoin are having a hard time and hard to recover even if BTC is getting pumped. Usually, as BTC gets up also Altcoin gets up. I hope altcoin will climb the soonest.
307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How to safely store big amounts of BTC? on: July 05, 2019, 03:47:33 PM
Hello,

Suppose I would expand my BTC portfolio to 10 or 15 BTC.....how would you store such a big amount of coins?

Ofcourse I would use a hardware wallet, but if I store them all on 1 wallet and I lose the wallet, or the house gets on fire and it burns, then I have lost those coins forever? Or are there still ways to get to the coins somehow in that case?

Would you advise to store let's say 15 BTC on 3 different hardware wallets (5BTC each), or would you spread it out even more? Ofcourse I'm not gonna buy more than max. 3 hardware wallets but in that case maybe 15 different laptop wallets (Electrum, Jaxx, Exodus etc.) with 1BTC each on it is safer?

I'm looking for the safest way to store a big amount of BTC and to minimize the risks of losing a big amount.
Your idea of storing your BTC in different wallet is the best decision to minimize risk. I think it is safer and more convenient to just use 5 different laptops to avoid confusion and to be more focused on keeping fewer laptop safe from getting destroyed, also when your house gets on fire, you won`t be carrying 15 laptops.

How unfortunate you are. BTC is always good its just that people have no patience and easily loose hope on bitcoin, so what they do is dump their bitcoin too soon.
310  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The "how to" of building a gambling site on: July 05, 2019, 01:06:26 PM
Why you want to create a gambling site? there are people who are offering service to make your own gambling site. What you need is a programmer/developer that's focusing with this kind of business.
True. If he wants gambling site he needs a developer and programmer. If he wants to learn he will offer someone in btc services and pay them whrn he wants to learn how to do it on his own professionally. Well, everything can be learn and can do it if he wants to learn how to do it.
311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to make profit from a dice game? Have any unique strategy? on: July 05, 2019, 01:02:24 PM
So I read few of the  advices and all they told was "you need luck inside and strategy is not like that usually the thing to use in dice game. Since I have not yet try to play dice I am also ready some for me to learn but that was the main thing that I can't forget "luck in game". So, when you are playing strategy is not a must, luck is already enough. Lol

Just sharing the PRESS RELEASE from Endorphina, a renowned casino game provider, about its Dinner in the Sky event in Amsterdam. Joining is easy. Click to photo to see the mechanics/PR and the trailer video.


They will serve dutch food?  Cheesy LOL
I'm kidding but the prize is only the dinner or they'll also pay the trip?
There is no clear information regarding the trip expenses. It is just a random pick from the registered users. This will get a win for the one with the biggest luck. The dinner is planned on the sky which is just 60 meters high. Being the leading developer of slot games quite often we can get to know about launch of new slot games from them.
That's right there is no specific information about the game expenses but I was already know it since the title tell that we can win "FREE DINNER" in the sky in Amsterdam. Lol so it is only dinner and the trip, it was us who provide. So, this game is only for the Amsterdam people since it was only free dinner.

I really believe that Bitcoin will remain as the King of crypto market because it is distinguished from altcoins. Plus, Bitcoin is always the face of cryptocurrency, proven and achieved many things already which other crypto won`t able to overtake.
314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty alone is not enough on: July 04, 2019, 05:26:52 PM
I think it's high time projects know that they cannot rely solely on bounty and airdrop as a means of promotion. A lot of projects launch and they rely on their bounty campaigns and airdrop to help bring in investors and therefore fail to reach their softcap.

I never said bounties are not effective but it should only be used to create and reward their community not to bring in investors. If a project wants to promote it crowdsale then the team should deploy real promotional means like paying top influencers, attending conferences, advertisements on top sites like coinmarketcap, etc. Because no matter how good the project is, if it can't market properly then it won't reach its goals and if a project is mediocre but have a top notch marketing program, it will succeed beyond expectations.
There were many projects already who were hype and pays real promotional means like what you said but only end up being scam and some got failed. Bounties are very cheap compared to the promotion that the project can get from it. Also, I don`t believe promotion is the only reason why the project fails.
315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anything can be bought by Bitcoin? on: July 04, 2019, 05:11:17 PM
I don`t think anything can be bought by Bitcoin. Most of the stores don`t know what is bitcoin yet and also don`t accept bitcoin.
316  Economy / Economics / Re: bitcoin goes down, no new rich people anymore on: July 04, 2019, 05:06:20 PM
because bitcoin prices dropped as a result no new rich people arrived suddenly. . . on the contrary, many people go bankrupt because they suffer losses ... haha ​​haahaa
How did people got bankrupt with just a little price drop? 6 months ago, bitcoin`s price was only ranging $4k to $7K dollars and ranges $9k-$13k this month. So what I see is that Bitcoin did not drop but got up. They could always hodl bitcoin and surely bitcoin will reach it`s peak again this year.
317  Economy / Economics / Re: Can not believe 5 years ago you could of bought one whole bitcoin for this much! on: July 04, 2019, 04:52:45 PM
For $651~ you could of got yourself a shiny whole bitcoin on coinbase plus their $6.66 fee.
I wouldnt of mind paying this fee on top regardless.
Even if they were asking 10% of the purchase amount at the time which is probably more by now. Wink

Those who bought at that price back then and hodl until now surely won a lot. I really hope I have known Bitcoin 5 years ago.
318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play poker to train trading on: July 04, 2019, 02:36:42 PM
In my opinion trading and poker are very similar. Interface is the only difference. Rules are the same.
I know that part of you will disagree with me with my very first sentence by saying that poker is game of luck and trading is based on indicators, supports, TA, FA and many more. Well you know nothing about trading and poker then Smiley

Why poker is not game based only on luck if cards you get are totally random:

Yea. Cards you get are totally random. But how to explain that we have so many professional poker players that play poker for a living? Well the only thing that they differ form those who are loosing is money management and discipline during bidding.. Bidding is the first and only moment that determines if you will lose or earn in poker. That's the hardest part that needs experience. Why?
With infinity plays you will have every possible card set. Good once, bed once. Sometimes you will lose sometimes you will earn. Key is not to lose less times. That impossible. Key is to lose less money with bed cards than you win with good cards. That's where money management and discipline comes. In poker that's especially hard because you have to say good bye to your money even with quite good card without battle if bidding is going too far and calculated probability of winning is showing you red light to bet higher. But that's the hand that makes bed player go home with 0 and good players stay and fight again.

How about trading?

In trading, you also don't know your opponents "cards". You don't know who is on market (whale are buying or bunch of fomo noobs). If whale than how much money he has left, when will he dump. TA may show various of buy signals but on the other hand that's the best moment for whale to dump (best price and best volume when everyone is sure that price can go only in one direction - f.e after breaking resistance). Will he dump or not? Is support holding for so long because someone is buying at that point or maybe whale stops to sell to don't break it to don't cause panic selling?
How about Fundamental Analysis? That's where we may be even more cheated by insider trading. When news hit market price is very often pumped by whales who new before. NEWS from which you do FA may also be faked by coin team. Even team might be faked.
It means that trading is game of luck? No. That's where money management and discipline comes. Same as with poker. Key is not to lose less times. Key is to lose less money with every bad trade. To cut looses and say good bye to your money even with "quite good card". To learn to enter only those trades with high probability of winning (TA buy signals) combined with low risk (close to support where you could set stop loss). TA indicators are easy to learn in 1-5 days. Good trader is able to earn on market for a living after few years of experience because discipline and money managements takes so much time to master in trading. That's where poker comes in. You can train those skill playing poker where every bet takes minutes not hours/days. You can master those skills faster and even for free playing for unreal money.

Professional trader and poker player will say the same thing: -You lose the most when you are sure that you will win

I have not yet experience playing poker but what I can see to others it that yes it's very similar to trading. Similar that it is very risky. Needs effortd time and think about it carefully in order to win the game. They are the same difficult and not easy. Well, in my opinion as long as you are learning something you can learn it soon and become successful on that.
319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🌭 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest - 4th July 2019 🌭 on: July 04, 2019, 02:33:48 PM
I'm kinda disappointed in alot of businesses like this that dont accept BTC because their item sales are a little too small perhaps.   All they have to do is offer a kind of gift card setup for BTC or ideally allow a credit account that gets cleared every month in exchange for BTC at that month end.   Then you have a large enough transaction and an encouragement for customers to come in and use the wealth they have.
     I guess its just not giving enough demand, BTC is ideally suited towards digital products but still I dont see its a big deal to have the option of clearing a balance owed on an account with crypto.


Is the bet off if they fail to keep the contents completely in their stomach
Well it's because bitcoin is not yet tht accepted by all people we are in the fact that yes we accept it but we can't control thr mind of others. So, let's still go with what they wanted. Actually hot dog contest is nice so they can do it and do the proper things in the restaurant. Well yes it's because btc is destined to use in digital products as you say so.
320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Psychological Technique - Play without Pressure on: July 04, 2019, 02:29:07 PM
Do you think the winning effect causes the feeling of being invincible in the game? In many games, we use techniques, strategies, where you can find patterns, but the psychology we have in our brain is not accepting when we are losing, and we want to recover ... Is it a mistake to think this? Or should we assume the loss and come back at another time?

Many of these questions arise when we play, but we got a quick response and a solution: go ahead!

There are games like poker, where it is based on technique, cunning, psychology and luck. Some see it as a game full of attitude to deceive your opponents, others are experts with their techniques developed by experience.

When many players fall into vice, it is very difficult to control, some players end up losing everything, but you can apply the psychology of self-control.

For example: I enter the game with a certain balance, if I assume that this balance is totally lost, I can have two possibilities:

1.-As you know that this money you give for lost, you play without any pressure to see what happens, applying and giving free rein to your multiple strategies to see what results I can achieve.

2.- You play with the reason, waiting for you to recover your balance and multiply it.

I have applied this type of psychology always with option 1 and I play without stress. If I lose, I assume my loss, and if I win, it's like lifting a trophy. Do you think it's a way to escape from that little pressure that is exerted when playing? Have you ever applied this type of psychology?

Actually what you told is true you can feel it the moment you already know that you are in that situation. Well, it is common to people to feel pressures and ofcourse when tjey only borrowed their capital and needs to win. So, instead they will win because of their feelings it affects their behavior.
