Well we knew SBF was a criminal as soon as his claimed bankruptcy last November. But nobody would of expected CZ to actually be charged with all this.

His exchange was actually fairly honest and never scammed or defrauded individuals. This is why it was a shock to many and many are saying is was blackrock that claimed this needs to happen for the bitcoin etf to get approved. Binance just was way too big and they want the market share to separate.

Argentina is a presidential republic so yes they have senators

bitcoin can help in improving one’s economic status but as a whole bitcoin can help open up transactions from country to country in a more convenient and less hassle way this might also be a good news for the btc community as Argentina has one of the largest population in south america just behind Colombia and Brazil

for now he plans on utilizing the usd as their currency and still no plans regarding btc time can only tell if he makes true to his promises

A must ang pagiging disiplinado sa lahat ng bagay, personal life, work like, business life, lahat. Plan ahead of time, maging selected sa circle of friends dahil nakaka affect din yan kung gusto nating umunlad financially. Pag may disiplina sa pag kuha at mag aral ng ibat ibang skills set, disiplina sa pag manage ng time, at disiplina sa pag manage at operate ng business — dapat consistent, sure, ma a-achive natin ang pagiging financially independent.
 Kase kahit na nagawa mo nga mag karoon ng maraming skills, may business ka na, if di consistent^{(dapat grind lang ng grind)} at nawawalan na ng disiplina , mababaliwala talaga ang mga pinaghirapan natin.

Makukulong ba si CZ?
Grabe, yan na ang isa sa pinakamalaking penalty na obtain from a  corporate defendant, 4.3 bilyon dollars.

Malinaw na ang lahats sa akin ngayon kung bat humantong sa ganyan, maraming nalabag gaya ng AML program, KYC procedures, operations of unlicensed of money transfer business at pag facilitate ng transactions between US users and users in sanctioned countries.

Mas magiging strikto na nito ang Binance sa KYC.

Akala ko talaga na babagsak ang presyo ng Bitcoin dahil sa balitang ito. Nakapalaki ng impluwensya ni CZ mundo ng Bitcoin at napakarami ang sumusubaybay sa kanya. May pangunahing rason talaga kung bakit bumitaw si CZ sa pagiging CEO nya sa Binance. Akala ko aabot hanggang sa $30k ang presyo dahil sa balitang ito ngunit nakakatuwa kasi hanggang $35k lang ibinagsak nito. Nagpapakita lamang ito na marami na talaga ang naghohold ng Bitcoin at hindi na sila nagpapanic agad kapag may mga hindi magandang balita. Sa tingin ko may mga taong nasa likod nito upang makabili sa murang halaga ngunit ang kanilang plano na pabagsakin ang Bitcoin ay hindi naging epektibo. Masasabi ko talaga na hindi na kagaya ang Bitcoin dati na madaling manipulahin.

  Most rich people make a lot of promises that, in the end, always fall short of the truth. There is also the saying "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer." This saying is also true.

  There are also many rich people who say that they will help with the events, but in reality, it is also true that those promises are not fulfilled. It's rare that I see billionaires who always help those in need, especially during times of calamity. Only a few people know whether it is the rich who really care about the poor or the so-called philanthropists.

I am guessing it was a joke ? I think it was Internet humor at its worst or at least a mediocre attempt to be funny.

What the hell SEC is doing and alleging exchanges one by one for false lawsuit. First Ripple, then Binance, Coinbase and now Kraken exchange. SEC are doing their best to  produce trouble for crypto exchange. If this action continues, I think many exchange will he wind up like Bittrex and Hotbit. SEC has no strong argument against Kraken exchange. According to Kraken , SEC only argued that kraken is holding large customer amount which has no audit and not registere d with their agency. I like the kraken reply that SEC cannot allege exchange for fraud, hacking or revealing customers information. Source

What will be next step of SEC, will Carry ask for 4 billion here also and this 4 billion will solve all problem?

Yeah this forum has answers to all the questions, also helps with suggestions and recommendations let it be for investment or selling or even using a particular exchange for trading you will get experts opinion on any crypto associated topics except the one which are beyond our control like product asks, compatibility issues as mentioned by an user name _act_ in the above response. The thing I like the most about this forum is the fact it has helped so many people from investing into scam projects as well as bot infested exchanges. This forum is a boon to us and all the crypto enthusiasts and I wish people continue to contribute their knowledge with each there so we become a strong close knitted Crypto community.

Hey @fillippone,

first of all I want to make sure that I read ur rules and saw that the limit of received merits to participate here is @ 1000 merits.
My thought is to help you distribute the merits evenly across the board. You also cant see every good post and give it merit.

@LoyceV has also already complained that he has a pile of sMerits and would like to distribute them among good posts!
Since I'm unfortunately not a merit-source and am almost always out of merit, I would also like to submit a few contributions like I did to Loyce. I would limit myself to really helpful posts, because I don't want to receive them simply as a "gift".
The posts would most likely violate another rule: most have already received more than two merits.

Before I mark the posts here, I would like to know what you think of this idea?

If this story of yours is real and you still HODL 200BTC which is almost 7 Million dollars, congratulations. About selling them, it will be hard to cash it out. The risk with private deals (over the Internet) is so big and I think the only option you have is to go slow with it. Take your time. Do not try to rush with such a big amount, there will be so many scammers around to get you indulge in a deal with them.

My questions are :
Do you think it's worth the wait, he's getting 6% interest per annum but he still has to pay a lot of money and suffers a lot even to the point of having a rift with his daughter
Will you do the same thing and fight for your rights to claim the prize

Sincerely, I did be lying if i say that i am not surprised by what you said, first time i am coming across someone like you, you don't want to work, and you don't want to own a business, then what exactly do you do for a living?

For i know that, just investing in cryptocurrencies can't give one the immediate money for day-to-day expenditures.
Trading as well does bring in good profit and money if the trader knows what he or she is doing, but like you said, you just want to have your free time, trading from my personal experience is one of the most time-consuming activities that anyone can engage in, so this is probably not for people like you.

How about gambling? There is no consistent winning in gambling; gambling is not something someone can depend on, as there will be times when you will need money so urgently, and you can't get it through gambling, in fact, that may be the time you even end up losing the most.

So, if someone just wanna have free time all day, how will such a person become a big person in life, if you don't want to work, and you don't want to own a business, what then do you want to do? and something you don't even understand is that, aside the heavy competition at the moment, owning a gambling casino is one of the most lucrative business anybody can build for him or herself.

Essentially, it's not a bad idea if the person has already withdrawn enough money to cover the initial bankroll that he already had and is now gambling with pure profits, and even if that is lost, he doesn't lose anything from their budget and if they manage to win some more, he can start adding to his bankroll from the winnings so that he can have some profits left at the end of the week or month when their budget cycle ends, and then they can enjoy the profits and then renew their budget again.

One can also use the winnings as their budget for the next period and save the money that they usually use for their budget or use it for something else. In general, there are a lot of things one can do after winning a significant amount but only if they are thoughtful enough to think about all these things.

Loneliness will make a person seek someone to talk to and do something fun and choosing gambling to entertain oneself is probably the easiest. For men, I think this is not what necessarily happens since men could always go to the bar and talk to the barman or someone else.

But for women, it could be. Women socializing with someone new could end up in something else like an affair but a woman just in the slot machine is more fun.
