Computer games have been there for ages already so that's hardly the reason. I don't think there are studies supporting that theory and surely there already would be. I personally can't see them affecting to scores, in fact quite the opposite. People from my generation who played ended up coding and working in IT and some of them in field of mathematics and have PHDs.

One person that i know wouldn't stop playing if it would be up to him, and he is genius when it comes to mathematics. He doesn't use social media though.

But basically it has same triggers as any other addiction so you can use same methods to quit. Visualising the outcome, remembering the consiquences of spending money. And doing other, and filling your life with healthy activities that you can do when you feel the need to smoke/gamble. I have an unique trick that made me quit smoking, but i don't think that applies for anyone but me. It's just the fact that i hate the need for doing something i don't really want to do. So it starts by waiting until you don't really want to do the thing you are addicted to. I couldn't have stopped if i had a tiny bit of doubt on what i want.

Then i just focus on that and reward for myself the time and money that i have saved because of quitting.

It would be fun to see some legit poll on this, because right now i see more posts in social media who are doubting 100k and actually very bearish. Which ironically is a bullish sentiment for me.
There has been lots of big companies liquidating their assets, starting from musk's companies. And i doubt those were OTC deals but directly dumped to buy walls.

Also the amount of donated bitcoins has been slowly piling up and those are all sell pressure. For example Finland donated 1,981 bitcoins seized by government to ukraine. I am sure many others donated lot too.
I would assume that worst of the dumping is done as we are staying on these price levels.

And why shouldn't he. I totally would cash something out all the time at the point he is. And while i am not sure if he cares about the price, he is smart enought to sell at the right time. So he must see a possibility that this price is far from a bottom.

But if it would be charity, why would he need to deposit it to coinbase? There are many charity organisations that take cryptocurrencies. And then there's the fact that even if this is charity, it still is going to be changed to fiat money at some point and it creates some sell pressure.

I am not sure if you are serious or not but in case you were, starting from the top:

Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, Cardano, Solana, Polkadot ,Toncoin, Avalanchem Cosmos Hub, Hedera, Kaspa, Algorand, MultiversX, Tezos, Flow and there are ton of obscure ones that will never make it. In fact All the announcements in altcoin announcements, are supposed to be L1. And they used to be, but these days people don't know the difference of coins and tokens so they get mixed up.

But if you are focusing on testnets, that explains why your list has unfamiliar names. I am still browsing your list, it has some interesting projects so thanks for it. It would have been nearly impossible me to find them on my own, before any of those gained momentum.

That they don't like the ecosystem and they think that there are already enough of them, probably enough to saturate the market and confuse and divide invistors.
But that's a quite bold move. I wonder what's the backlash from CZ is going to be, as i think there most certainly will be something.

I don't think anyone want to cross that guy who brought huge exchange down by hinting something in a tweet. Although i am not sure what he could do.

Many coins already have "focus on development", but they are either unable to provide as what they are promising isn't yet solvable. So they provide low quality versions of their promises, but they are all smoke and mirrors and have been build top of fundamentally wrong design so they are not solving the problem they should.

Permissionless L1 that has top notch Privacy smart contracts, but at the same time tokens issued on it are regulatory friendly so that it includes the option of issuing securities. So, basically decentralized privacy combined with auditability. Solve that and you'll get my interest.

When the whole an only purpose of a coin is to escape regulations, don't you think that regulators will move against it sooner or later? You could have privacy while being regulatory compliant but monero use cases don't fit into that, it would only get worst parts of that deal.

Delisting has already started and i can't see it having any future, when the whole space is being regulated. Maybe it has some future with person to person trading, but i have hard time seeing it having anything near to valuation it had when it had actual fast liquidity. Not to mention that in the future, when you need to prove the origin of the money, it will be hard to do with Monero, if it even will be accepted as a source.

Why would he support cex as a staking tool when he can stake it by himself?

He could donate directly from his wallet, he doesn't need to deposit it to coinbase for that.

Only reason i see for that move is selling it for money, or selling to buy some other cryptos with it. My guess is selling. It's not that unusual that people need fiat money for investing and spending, especially in current economic athmosphere.

What do you mean? Zuckerberg has already competed in a jiu-jitsu competition and keeps on fighting and practicing it. Being a "real" fighter doesn't mean you need to be blakbelt+ pro, but to take this sport seriously. Practice it and have respect for it enough to understand, that showing up someone's backdoor wanting to fight because you want to show off, is far from respecting the the sport or people teaching it.

Being humble is a big part of learning it.

Well that's pretty strange argument. While i trust USDT most of them all, i feel that giving a monopoly to one centralized stablecoin is a dangerous road to take. There should be competition so that people would have options and to reduce any blowback of potential depegging of USDT.

Consequences of that potential serious failure of USDT would already be devastating, but imagine USDT being the only one. It would be a killing blow for the markets and it would get years to get back where it's now. Not to mention how many people would lose everything. I mean they could potentially get some of it back later via lawsuits, but that wouldn't be a fix.

This is it, they are obligated to keep the appereances up in order to be relevant to the world.

Real reason why this pompous blustering is happening right now, is the fact that there are annual US-South Korea joint military exercises happening nearby, and NK doesn't want to seem weak at in eyes of their own citizens or the world. They are viewing this as practise for invasion.

I don't consider this unusual. There has always been a flow of memetokens, and since they are easy to make, there will be as many of them as you care to count.

Your feeds might be just be filled by them right now. As every time there's a succesfull coin or a token, there will be ton of copycats after it, trying to ride that wave as they can say that we are the new pepe or what ever. This is not just with memecoins. There used to be a country coins citycoins named after cities, politician coins named after politicians, just becuse it was hot.

Before Dash was called dash, it was called darkcoin, and after that mooned everyone wanted dark in their name, or a shadow or similar. It's just a trend. It will blow over, and then it will rise again after some other memetoken rises.

There are still ton of projects that have white papers and that are least pretending to solve real issues. Those are just now not as trendy so you have to look for them.

To my knowledge those third party slots leave some tweaking options to casinos. Like RTP %. And yes, ultiimately people who develope those slots have responsibility, but you don't have to take their word for it. As they are being audited all the time, technical vulnerability analysis, done by ISS And ISMS doing Info sec.

To top of that, if they would get caught of being dishonest, years building trust would be gone over night. Building that level of trust from a scratch would be a mountain of work.

Here's some info about audits:

I sort of disagree with this. Not with the fact that house always wins, but wih the system and how it's definitely made to entertain me. If it wouldn't be, then why would i would keep coming playing with demo mode with slots? I know that some slots are engineered to addict me, but so is the whole social media. I don't mind being addicted in that way and getting my dopamine from that.

In sports i also enjoy the process of studying fighters in MMA. PArt of the fun is look comparing statistics, looking at their skills from videos and history and weaknesses. Looking at the live match is part of the entertainment too. Even thought the money plays a key part, i am not playing games that are not entertaining me. I totally understand the odds, but just because someone is having a lucky streak, it doesn't mean games are rigded. It's in same way just part of the probability that sometimes you win more. That's almost as sure that you will sometimes lose.

It might be a good idea, but i never failed KYC so i guess i would like to know why wouldn't i be able to pass it? I mean if i have my paperwork in order and i don't live in a restricted area, what are the things actually restricting me from passing. I know i might some day need to provide a source for my income if i am depositing a suspiciously big amount, but i don't think i can do that beforehand if i need to prove the origin.

Are there some actual cases where people haven't passed kyc while being legit users, because i know only those that are most likely just angry because they got caught. And some other cases are being resolved later on.

Are you saying it's going to outperform it or have been already outperforming it? I am unaware how much roi has been fluctuating. All i know that it has decreased all the time and i don't think it's possible to get your investment back, and at the same time BFG has been slowly dropping.

This year at the time of writing BFG has rised around 18.6%, while BTC has risen 56.7%. So how much are those dividends worth? Current apy for staking is 32.46% but as it's been dropping that number doesn't mean much.

In my case, i don't even claim to have self-control over gambling. But i have self control over my own plans. If i didn't have previously set limits and rules for myself that are harder to work around when i am in a zone and gambling

Gambling is so fun it's intoxicating. And just like with drinking, if i plan to go to bar, i leave my credit card because sober me doesn't trust drunk me to make good choices. And drunk me doesn't listen to sober me. That's why remove my changes to make more debt. In online gambling i am using not using my bank account, but a crypto account. And that crypto account has certain amount of money monthly that i won't ever top by buying more while gambling.

Thanks, i've been working with one obscure unnamed casino, to hire influencers for them and i get a cut from each influencer working for them, and since i don't follow twitch at all, this whole influencer game is an unfamiliar scene to me and you just made my work a lot easier as i can just contact to everyone on that list.

I know what you mean, but to me there's really no strategy, so that won't get me going, but it's always cool to hear when people win jackpots. I feel it's possible to happen to anyone. That gets me in gambling mood.

But talking about it in here is just something i want to do anyway, but as my friends don't gamble that i know of, i can't talk with them. And talking to non-gamblers about gambling is just frustrating. I rather keep it to myself or talk in here.
