I've never bought bitcoin before. I won 12k or so USD on Seals with Clubs around 2015, which was a Bitcoin only poker site. It really was just for shits and giggles and not a real serious site but I always followed the owner Bryan Micon and what he was doing. Then I get BTC from other poker things along the way but that was always most of my stash.

I need to get back into online poker see if I still have it. I never played for anything big but I used to pay my rent back in college from it lol

Is it still the same as it used to be? Back then was a lot easier you could join those massive tournaments and just hang around with patience and let the others play themselves out of the money then you could start getting in more hands. Hardest thing was reading the table of who you're playing lots of people just doing it to pass time and getting bored playing every single hand.

No. If you played for a few thousand hands, you may think that is the case or feel that is the case now because people may pay you off at first and overcall. And it definitely used to be that way, you could win some money by just being patient but GTO & solvers have kind of ruined that strategy...especially in the 6max games.

What a cool story! :-)

When choosing a crypto to invest do you check its community activity on social networks and github? And how do you recognise a bull trap or a dead cat bounce trap?
They say that perhaps we are exactly in this phase right now.

No

Actually it’s a pretty good way to identify a new scamcoin. If the teams identities are not shown on the project site and github shows little to no commits to the codebase its a pretty good indicator you’re dealing with snakeoil. Good work. Another tip is research projects that disrupt the shit out of an industry. Look at what GET can do to Ticketmaster.

Adding to this, the coin subreddit is a great place to get a ton of information, enthusiasm, details, etc. /r/cardano was really helpful to me in that regard and I participate a lot on that sub. Mainly the daily discussion.

Some of you already know how this works, as it's the same in the music industry/etc. But this is an interesting interview.

Sell Your Bitcoin Today And Do Not Look Back

Summary

• As I warned my readers in my previous article, Bitcoin has collapsed ~50% since its 65K peak during the last 3 weeks.
• My target price for Bitcoin is 15K-20K during the next few weeks. The party is clearly over, and investors should consider liquidating anything related to Bitcoin or short it.
• Recent collapse proves that Bitcoin isn't a safe haven, store of value, or a hedge against inflation/market correction, but a speculative token that can go down 50% in a week.
• Bitcoin has exhausted its exotic catalysts and is under coordinated regulatory attack by governments around the world. At this point, I don't think there is anything that can save it from collapsing more.

I have no skin in the BTC game, but these types of articles are almost always full of shit, sky is falling, get out NOW bs.

Of course this guy wants you to sell all your bitcoin. He even tells you why in the first sentence of his introduction. He's shorting it.

I think I’ll wait until it hits $15K before jumping in big time. I can’t hold this money long though.
