Government policies are ever-dynamic. In some cases, these laws must be immediately adopted or implemented by businesses.  An exchange operating a KYC-free crypto business can be forced to change this policy because they have been mandated to do that by a new law.  Also, customer's funds can be frozen until they provide the needed personal information. There are also cases where the government can seize exchange without notice and compel the client to produce some data before the release of their funds. It is always better to use decentralized exchange and if you must use centralized exchange, don't keep your funds with them.

Chelsea don't have any reason not to win this game against Fulham. The club may be having problems with injury and suspensions but they still have extra players. They also have the advantage because they are not also playing in any European competition so the players have enough time to rest.  If he gets this three points today, Pochettino's job will be fairly safe.

I didn't see anything wrong with the players that Teg Hag featured against Crystal Palace. The players played very well but they were unlucky not to get a goal. Crystal Palace defended well and they also had a good goalkeeper Johnstone. Rashford had one of his worst performances, but hopefully, the team will improve. Bruno's performance has been inconsistent and the team needs to have a creative player that can penetrate teams with a massive defensive strategy.

If your friend has been able to be patient and saved $15,000, why is he now rushing?  He is almost close to achieving his dream, let him be patient. If he is passionate about the business he wants to establish, let him focus on raising the money and avoid any form of distraction. There is no guarantee that if he invests in another business to raise funds faster, it will be successful. But if he wants to take some level of risk, he can buy Bitcoin, now that the price is somehow low, and hope that next year will be favorable.  He can make some profit from Bitcoin which will make his dream. But he needs to know that nothing is certain.

Comparing gambling and Bitcoin trading or investment is like equating buying gold and gambling. Nobody has ever lost investing in Bitcoin, people lose when they sell below the cost price because of mainly FUD. I said this because Bitcoin will always exceed its All-Time High (ATH)  if investors patiently wait. Gambling is a get-rich-quick scheme while Bitcoin is a long-term investment. Gambling has ruined so many lives due to addiction but anyone who is addicted to bitcoin investment will end up making a good profit.

Gambling is not a bad habit but when one uses funds that can be used to invest in a viable sector like bitcoin to gamble, such person needs to amend his gambling lifestyle. To answer your question,  Bitcoin has caused more good than harm while gambling disorder has caused so much problems in society.

It is only a casino with a low reputation that will do such. I don't see any reason why someone will be banned because he won consistently. The question is will such a person be restricted if he loses big? Winning big in a casino consistently is rare so the firm should investigate why the gambler is winning so much instead of banning him just like that. However, this can happen more in an offline or in-house casino where they know the better physically.

But I have heard cases where online casinos restrict or freeze the account of gamblers because they violated the terms of service but I have never heard of such action because of consistent wins. If such victims report the casino to the forum and it is proved that the gambler didn't violate any ruler the casino will lose its reputation and its representative will get some negative trust.

Brighton is going through a hard time recently. They lost their last game against Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and today they have been humiliated against Aston Villa. Their next game is against Marseille in the Europa League group stage. Brighton Manager, Roberto De Zerbi needs to step his game if he wants to lead the club to greater heights.

The pressure on the Liverpool defense became too much that Matip scored an own goal almost close to the end the the extra time. Liverpool deserve accolade but this is a big win for Tottenham and a massive three points. This loss is Liverpool's first defeat this season. This means only Tottenham and Arsenal are unbeaten this season after the loss to Manchester City.

The main problem in this developing nation is not education because many of them are educated. In fact, most of the people that are migrating to Europe and America are professionals. Many of them are health and IT professionals. One of the reasons why people are migrating is because of a lack of employment opportunities. Others are due to security issues and natural disasters. I have spoken to some of my countrymen who left for some developed nations and they informed me that life is not easy in these countries. Some professionals who leave our shores have to work as laborers to survive because they can't find good jobs. If the government creates better employment opportunities and improves the security of the country many people will prefer to remain in their homeland.

Congratulations on your achievement and welcome to the forum. Reading stories of how Bitcoin has impacted positively on the life of individuals give me great joy. It also serves as a source of confidence for newbies to keep believing in Bitcoin even in the face of fear and uncertainty.  I am also pleased that you have the zeal to learn about Bitcoin in this forum. It also amazes me that you have been visiting the forum for the past three years and failed to open an account. Why the sudden change of mind after these years? Nevertheless, I wish you all the best as we learn and contribute to this community.  

I read almost all of your replies and was just laughing. Your response was a combination of business and pleasure. Adding jokes to serious responses makes reading and learning pleasurable. I have seen world leaders laugh while deliberating on important global issues. As much as we agree that this forum is for serious discussions but it will also be nice to have members like @PytagoraZ to make us laugh even in the face of bitcoin and other discussion.

Having many posts deleted is not a good statistic for your reputation. I want to suggest that you pay more attention to your post to avoid these deletions. 

I am viewing this news from two perspectives.  One,  it is possible that the Chinese government is gradually changing the unfriendly perception about bitcoin so they are using court judgments to prepare the path for the policy change. Secondly, these judgments are merely for academic exercise, nothing will come out of them. The Chinese judiciary are not independent,  in fact they are just rubber stamp to the communist party.

Just like the US market, the Chinese financial market is a major player in the global economy. Bitcoin will get a big push if China changes its negative perception and policies. And the acceptance of Bitcoin by China will make other countries also become friendly to the currency.

Chelsea's performance was not encouraging but the win is more important. Brighton is a strong side but one would have expected the Chelsea team to have a free day with the amount they have spent compared with their opponent. Nicolas Jackson scored an important goal and ended his four-game goal drought. His second goal was ruled out for offside but I don't think it was. VAR would have confirmed that it was not offside but sadly the technology will be used in the Carabao Cup from the semi-finals. This win has reduced some pressure on Mauricio Pochettino and players. I saw smiles on their faces and the fans at least had something to celebrate after suffering from several disappointments.  I just hope this win will serve as a turning point in the performance of Chelsea

Some people will argue that the volatile nature of Bitcoin is one of its biggest challenges. They believe that bitcoin adoption will spread faster if the price is more stable. Bitcoin will used more as a currency if it becomes less volatile.  But to a trader or investor, the price volatility is the biggest attraction to bitcoin.

Real estate investment is for the super-rich. Buying lands or houses is capital intensive, so not everyone will have the privilege or financial power to invest in the real estate sector. But with just a little savings anyone can invest in Bitcoin. They don't need to buy one bitcoin to be an investor, buying a few sats is enough. The profit from investing a small amount might not be big but it is a source of income.

Some hacks are carried out by former employees of these exchanges because they know some loopholes in the security system. In some cases, these hackers work with insiders who them access or expose some security breach in the system. Like in the case of the FTX hack many blockchain experts suspected that it was done by a high-level insider.  So we might never see the end of these hacks because greed and selfishness will always exist. Crypto firms should change their security system when a staff in such a department resigns.  It will not also be out of place for firms to work with more than one security system or provider. It will be difficult for these criminals to deal with two security layers than one.

There are just a few nations that have decided to de-dollarize trade their partnership.  Prominent among them is Russia, India,  China, and Dubai. However, some of these nations also have business partnerships with other nations that mandate them to use the US dollars. So these nations have not successfully diversified their trade currency due to the widespread use of the dollar.
The French President just made a political statement which has not been backed with action. France's international trade payment is still heavily dependent on the dollar.
The world needs an alternative currency to compete with the dollar because it has become a tool for economic manipulation and dominance. Poor nations have to spend so much money sourcing dollars to engage in trade. The US and its allies are now using the dollars to punish other nations through sanctions. I don't know much about using gold as an alternative currency but decentralized money like bitcoin will be ideal. We don't need a currency that can be manipulated by any or a few countries. The only challenge bitcoin will pose is its volatility.
 
If the price of bitcoin becomes relatively stable it will be a good alternative to diversify assets. But this will be possible if some powerful nations agree to use bitcoin as their reserve currency. I also thought that instead of the BRICS nation coming up with a new currency, they should have used something decentralized.

With the current problems he is facing on Napoli,  I doubt if the Nigerian will consider extending his contract. I think racism is more pronounced in the Italian and Spanish leagues than in the Premiership. He will easily settle in England because he understands English and the league is more organized than other European leagues. It is glary that Real Madrid is lacking a goal-getter but I think Osimhen has never been the target. They have placed their hope in signing Mbappe. And from the look of things, the coast is now clear for the French striker to move to Spain next season. This means Osimhen might end up with any of the big teams in England. But we can't still right of the possibility of Real Madrid bringing in two big strikers at once.

You failed to mention the number one benefit of using Bitcoin which is privacy and decentralization. Bitcoin allows users to become pseudonymous. As a currency, Bitcoin assists users in bypassing all forms of financial restrictions placed by the government through the central bank.
Bitcoin is the most reliable cryptocurrency to altcoins but the security of your coins depends more on you. That is why every Bitcoiner has to understand the basics of crypto security. The Bitcoin network might be safe but if you don't take necessary security precautions you might be a victim of wallet hack or phishing which will lead to loss of funds. We have been also advised not to keep money in centralized crypto firms.

In six La Liga appearances, Joselu has scored two goals and provided one assist. That's not bad for thirty-three years old striker. But Real Madrid have not gotten the ideal number nine. They cannot score important goals without an uncommon striker. They have to wait till another transfer window to get a dependable striker. Joselu might have the determination to lead the Real attack but his age and strength will limit his output.

Atletico Madrid is not I'm good shape currently but Diego Simeone identified their weakness. Madrid Central defenders can be easily pulled out. When they come out it allows the opponent to use the midfield to feed the wingers. The next action will be aerial balls that the recovering defenders will find difficult to handle. This was the case of Rudiger and Alaba.

I don't think OP needs any advice because he stated clearly that he knows the risk involved and he is willing to take it. Some people are high-risk takers and in some cases, they have massive profits but in most cases, they lose all. Maybe he wants to start DCAing because he can't afford a lump sum purchase. Some persons are skillful in predicting these tokens and have made a fortune from them. But altcoins are a no-go area for me since I lack such skills. I suggest that OP should do his research to get some vital information.

Although the rules of the forum apply to all boards I see the local board as a lenient part of the forum. Newbies can make mistakes and be corrected with love easily on their local board. However such mistakes might lead to severe bashing in the international boards. It also makes new members more comfortable and confident since they are among countrymen. For non-English speaking members, the local board will be a good training ground to get used to the operations of the forum. It is not compulsory to join discussions but it could be very helpful. But some persons might have various reasons for not visiting their local board. Members might want to maintain absolute privacy and the international board is the most convenient to achieve it.

The problem is that when Bitcoin is prohibited in the country there is always a fine or jail term that violators of this ban will face. Since bitcoin is an international currency you can always bypass your country's restrictions and have access to the bitcoin market. You have some options of how you can still transact with bitcoin,  but these options can be risky and untrustworthy. One way is through P2P but you have to be careful not to transact with an undercover police officer. Such country also have a large number of underground illegal exchanges but they are also risky because you can easily lose money. Using exchanges is not an option due to KYC issues and using a VPN can be detrimental.

To avoid issues with law enforcement agents you can move to a neighboring country to carryout your transactions and come back. If you have the opportunity to move permanently to another friendly country, it could be an option. But if you are a long-term bitcoin investor, mastering privacy skills can help you keep your coin secret. But it will be better to be a law-abiding citizen of your country.
