A very hard lesson to learn in cryptocurrency market.

If you want to gain profit for your portfolio or get rich, invest in Bitcoin. Only invest in Bitcoin or mainly invest in Bitcoin.

If you can not do this and instead of Bitcoin, you only invest in altcoins or mainly invest in altcoins, I am sure with you that you are taking risk to get poorer. You can get one or a few win with altcoins but at the end, you will get poorer because when altcoins get rekted, you will be burned.

If you are called upon to work for a decentralized exchange like Uniswap or Binance exchange which is a Centralised exchange, which offers will you grant yes? Assuming the payment or salary is the exact same amount every month which one will you prefer to work for and why?
You have to see what skills do you have and what are their job requirements (tasks) for you.

You did not describe what you will do for them, like a customer service support (I guess).

Let me say for instance that they both need a community manager or support that can be active in one of their social channels. I will go with Uniswap (a decentralized exchange) because they have fewer complaints daily than centralized exchanges like Binance.
Exchanges will do their customer support via support tickets officially opened at their websites.

Customer support via social media channels are very vulnerable to scammers and impersonators and I am sure those channels if used for customer support, are only supplementary channels, not main ones.

Few complaints from DEX and CEX, are you sure? It depends on many factors like how many customers they have, how smooth or laggy, buggy their platforms are as those factors contribute a lot to needs of customer support and complaints.

2. Anonymity:

The amount of privacy gained by gambling with cryptocurrencies is unbelievable! Non-KYC platform
Not true at most of gambling sites nowadays when they need to have license and have to meet KYC/ AML enforcement from authorities.

Quote
3. Thrill of volatility:

We are all aware of how unpredictable the cryptocurrency market is, with prices varying quickly and erratically. Some people may become addicted to the "high-risk, high-reward" mentality as a result of this volatility.
Gambling has many types and price prediction is only part of this industry. I see it is a small part and one of other bigger parts are slot games which are very addictive.

If you want to learn in education, academic environment, please consider to stop trading. Trading is very stressful especially when you have loses in trading.

With pessimistic mood, you will not learn well and will waste your money spent for learning courses.

Doing four things at the same time: investment, trading, learning and working for daily livelihood is very stressful. Are you sure you can carry out all of those things well enough?

My advice is you can do max three things: investment, learning and working. Please don't do trading.

I don't fully agree. however, yes, because Galtier is the trainer. Of course, he contributed to PSG's elimination in the Champions League. because in fact, Galtier failed to bring PSG much better than previous coaches. even so, we can see PSG's failure from various factors. especially, after the post-world cup. the injury to the core players, made PSG's performance decrease. Likewise, when PSG played Bayern in the second leg of the Champions League.
He did not have enough experience in Champions League and PSG is a biggest club in his career. I am sure he would feel stressful and pressure on his shoulders in PSG. In reality he failed to help PSG players at their highest capability and failed to help them going far in Champions League. Failing in Champions League always is a big minus point for any coach in PSG.

Quote
I can't completely say Galtier's failure was purely, or should we say his fault. because IMO, Galtier is a pretty unique and intelligent trainer. unfortunately, the system he implemented on his team did not go according to what he wanted. I just want to say that PSG lacks a decent midfield player. be it an attacking midfielder, or a defensive midfielder. as a result, when PSG came up against a team on par with them. often, PSG's front line cannot play optimally.
It is not a pure responsibility from a single person like Galtier but it is a responsibility of a whole team. PSG players could not play well in many Champions League seasons, not only in this one. In the past ten years, it is barely to see they went to quarter final or farther than that. Messi and Ramos did not help them to win Champions League but their results are worse in the last two seasons.

They must rebuild their squad for all three areas from attacking front-line to midfield and defensive areas. They must prioritize to buy strong central defenders and defensive midfielders that would be basement for their success in Champions League.

Agree on this. Some casino don’t consider anymore the amount of withdrawal or the size of bank roll to implement KYC. There’s a lot of new casino that implement KYC before a user can withdraw their money or before they do their first deposit. I believe due to the regulatory compliance that pushing casino to be more aggressive when it comes on collecting data from their customer as part of the AML policy and anti-cheat system of the casino.
Days without KYC on centralized platforms will end soon. It is out of centralized platforms to control their policies on KYC and AML because they must obey government and regulation so that their platforms can legally operate without problems with governments. They must protect their companies first and customers will have two options that they don't like but have no choice left: staying and doing KYC or leaving and finding another platform to use.

Mostly, if it is a platform that is highly trusted and that user really like, he will do KYC to continue using his account. Privacy and freedom in cryptocurrency and on centralized platforms will be censored more with time.

yes, I was also like that, neglecting to save my 2FA secret key, so I had to wait a long time for the complaint process to deactivate on my exchange account first, and that also took time because the delay made me lose big because I was late selling my coin at that time, since then I learned that I have to save the seeds in several places not only on my cellphone but elsewhere for example on a google drive or flashdisk so that when my cellphone has a problem or is lost I can recover 2FA to access the sites I use especially casinos, usually people will learn from their mistakes
When you experience your first time to nearly lose your account because you forget its 2FA and inside it you have big capital, you would be super panic. Not all exchanges will give you instant or quick support. In 2017 and 2018, exchanges like Poloniex had very poor support with long delayed response to support ticket. It is one of reasons they lost their first position to Bittrex then Binance.

I forgot to mention about another issue when you backup 2FA secret code. You will have two options, with QR code or with character code. I'd prefer to backup both of them but more prefer to backup the character code. Lastly, some exchanges will give you option to print it with a print page contains their exchange information. I don't like this format as it can put my backup under more curious eyes if they occasionally see my paper. So if I print it, I will cut exchange information (of course I must have note that what code is for what account).
1168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 18, 2023, 03:02:42 PM
It looks like the match, namely Chelsea vs Everton, will be very exciting. because historically the meetings of these two teams in their last 5 matches both seemed to be a draw, namely Chelsea and Everton both had 2 wins and 1 draw.
Their coming match is between two troubling clubs and they will meet each other when they don't have their best forms. Both Chelsea and Everton got some mini boosting results in the last two weeks and hopefully it will make their match more exciting as we don't want to watch a boring match.

Quote
because the match will be held at the Stamford bridge Stadium, of course Chelsea should be the underdog and be able to win this match.
I failed to see Chelsea as an underdog  Cheesy

They are a big club and one of most successful clubs in Premier League especially last twenty years. They don't have good form in this season but they are stronger than Everton and if there is an underdog, it should be Everton, not Chelsea.

Liverpool vs Fulham is one game we must watch, Liverpool would like to bounce back from Their champions league setback in this game. They have to win this game if they want to end the spot four of the league next season. Because they have difficult features ahead in the league. But they must win this game.
Newcastle United already won their match and it put some pressure on Liverpool if they don't want to see a gap with Newcastle United remains at 5 points that is big enough when limited matches left for this season.

With a failure in Champions League, Liverpool will have to return to Premier League with full concentration and they must play hard to keep up their chance to participate in top four of Premier League. They can catch Tottenham and Newcastle United but they should maximize their performance and avoid as least losing points as possible.

It is important to keep a backup of Secret Keys. Casinos usually always remind them that it is important to save them before activating 2FA, sometimes people ignore that and don't save them in several places so that when there is a problem with the cellphone, at least they still have a backup of the secret key in another place so that they can access it. back account , yes even though the problem can actually be solved by their service support, hopefully the problem will be solved
I believe many of us made that mistake - ignoring that reminder and did not back up secret key / recovery key when we set up our 2FA for exchange account or account on site like FortuneJack. Maybe we write it down but don't know its importance and don't store that paper piece too carefully. Later when we need it for recovery, we might not be able to find that paper or need lot of time to remember where it is.

I used to work as a customer staff so I know many users don't mind to make such back up. When their phone get stolen or broken technically, they only have one choice, opening support ticket and wait.

If they have such backup, they can import the key and recovery it within a few minutes, no need to wait for customer support that surely takes a little bit time.

Benfica vs Inter Milan

AC Milan vs Napoli
One thing maybe little people know. Initially by drawing, both AC Milan and Inter Milan will play their quarter finals in first leg as hosts. However, because they play at the same stadium and by local Milano laws, those two matches are not allowed to play within 24 hours.

Therefore UEFA has to switch initial schedule for Inter Milan because they have less priority than AC Milan as in the past season, they had lower ranking than AC Milan in Serie A. Inter Milan consequently will have to play a first leg at Benfica home stadium.
1171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: March 17, 2023, 01:31:46 PM

It is an interesting season for Manchester United in Europa League. After Barcelona and Real Betis, they will play against another club from La Liga, Sevilla. Psychologically meeting Sevilla in Europa League is like a nightmare as they win 6 titles in Europa League in history and 4 of them comes from the last 9 seasons.

A poor performance of Sevilla in La Liga can be hope for Manchester United to beat Sevilla which always play very differently in Europa League.

Maybe my eyes are fixed on one of the quite interesting matches Juventus vs Sporting. We know that Juventus managed to win two legs against Freiburg in the round of 16 and Sporting they managed to beat the EPL champion candidates this season Arsenal to the penalty shootout because as we know in the two legs that took place the two teams always drew and made the aggregate 3-3 . Currently Juventus are in a convincing performance in European league competition because of course they also want to win at least one title this season and Sporting they are also targeting the same thing after in the domestic league they have only been able to reach the top 4 so far and cannot compete with benfica in standings board.
Sporting Lisbon luckily beat Arsenal and they are not weak but I don't think they are strong enough. Juventus don't under estimate Europa League with their conditions in Serie A, they know that winning Europa League can help them joining Champions League next season. That is a good award for them as they nearly won't be able to get a ticket to join Champions League by their ending in Serie A. After getting a 15 points deduction, despite of their efforts recent matches, they still have big difference with top four with very small chance to end in it.

Now the drawing for quarter final is finished.

Manchester City vs Bayern Munich.
Milan vs Napoli.
Real Madrid vs Chelsea.
Inter vs Benfica.


Interesting to see Manchester City have to meet Bayern Munich and maybe they will be a next victim by Bayern Munich like PSG. If they want to win Champions League, they must beat strong clubs there such as one of most successful clubs like Bayern Munich that win 6 titles so far.

Inter Milan will meet another club from Portugal and if they win against Benfica, Serie A will have at least one club in final match. In another quarter final, Real Madrid will re-meet their opponent in the past season quarter final, Chelsea. Chelsea now even are worse than in the past season and perhaps they will be knocked out by Real Madrid again.
1173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 16, 2023, 02:57:08 PM
Considering how often teams from the top of the standings lose points, we can already congratulate Napoli on winning Serie A. 18 points is too big a gap, besides that Napoli are still in great shape and do not even show signs that they can drop points in Serie A. Well actually Inter don't have to play Juventus to lose points, they can do that with any team, Lazio and Milan are even less stable in this regard.
18 points more than a second club and there are only 12 matches left in Serie A. Napoli only need to win 6 more matches or even just 5 more matches to take Scudetto because other clubs less likely will win next 5 or 6 matches. Therefore Napoli won't have to gain maximal points in next 5 to 6 matches to have Scudetto.

They have a beauty season with strong performance and with sexy football. They are like another version of Netherlands storm in Serie A with totaalvoetbal. Like in a match with Frankfurt, at the first ball kick-off, Napoli only reserved two central defenders at their side and other players run quickly towards Frankfurt side.

Napoli's chances of becoming Serie A champions are >99% and it's true that there are only a few matches left to determine the scudetto trophy this season. Looking at Napoli's performance this season, maybe there are many clubs in Serie A who don't expect it and can even continue to be consistent to win. Coach Luciano Spalletti is the figure who has brought Napoli success so far and it seems that the Napoli management will have to extend his contract because the duration of his contract will end this season.
Chance for Napoli is very high and they will only give hope to other clubs if they suddenly lose 2 or 3 matches within a few weeks. That's impossible to happen with Napoli's outstanding form as we all saw from Serie A to Champions League.

It's funny to see chances for all other clubs are at 1% and they are not different in eyes of bookmakers. They are all same weaker than Napoli in this season.

The difference is in the crypto market, where exchanges are open 24 hours a day, every day. In turn, institutional traders are usually not working on those days. And on the other hand, private traders, on the weekends also slow down their activities a little, to be with family and friends.
The slow down of institutional traders and normal traders in weekends are reflected on demands to move bitcoin. That in turn is reflected on lower transaction fees during weekends and early of Monday.
In weekends, usually you don't have much interesting to play with the market. Let's enjoy weekends with your family and recharge energy for a new week to work and buy more BTC.

Full details from my discovery are in Guide to check fees: Taker, maker, deposit, withdrawal, transaction fees

Briefly, it looks like this.

Make sure you already made a backup of your Trezor Hardware wallet with recovery seed. How to use a recovery seed for your Trezor

If you want to have a mini amount of BTC to use when you hang out, you can consider to use Electrum wallet on your mobile devices as your hot wallet. Basically with hot wallet, don't store big amount of your coin in it.

In the past, there was a memo. Only criminals use Bitcoin.  Wink

So far it looks like CM's operator is still out there.

"German investigators said that the FBI is seeking the chief suspect, whom they didn't identify." From this article: https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/german-investigators-crypto-money-laundering-site-97879857

Chipmixer is still out there!
Thanks. I guess so and read that article minutes ago too.

I am thinking of the forum as well. If governments fail to seize and shutdown all mixers (that I believe they will never succeed), will they change to hunt for platforms that promote mixers like the forum?

Any solid reason for them to seize bitcointalk.org?

Indeed it is still very cheap!

Personally I only need two units: Bitcoin and satoshi. Bitcoin for watching my wallet or portfolio. Satoshi for considering fee rate for my transaction. A good supplementary unit for me is mbtc but honestly I don't mind about this unit too much. I only consider 0.001 BTC and it saves more space in my brain than I have to remember and convert  1 mbtc to 0.001 btc.

You will not make any profit when you hold your money in banks, because the banks will charge you extra fees e.g. monthly charge, higher than the maximum withdrawal charge, send to other banks charge etc.
Charged fees are not most important things you must worry about when you use banks.

They can be collapsed, bankrupted, insolvent as consequence of bank run and some bad capital management and your money in banks can go void anytime. That is a bigger matter than many fees bank can charge on you.

It's a vital matter for your money, not big or small fee they charge on your account.

Wonder if they are going to go after the operators. Usually when they do something like this if they know who they are / could find them they mention that.
I am sure they intend to hunt operators like what they did with Tornado Cash but I believe with capability of running ChipMixer successfully since 2017, operators are smart and clever enough to secure their identities. I hope so!

In 2019, Bestmixer.io was seized and in May 2022, it's the turn of Blender.io mixer but there is no arrest after that.
