The guy, who "won a huge amount, but is quitting gambling" is most likely spamming the forum with low quality threads.
I don't believe that he won anything and I don't believe that he is quitting gambling(maybe he isn't gambling at all).
Trying to quit gambling after winning a big amount of money must be extremely difficult. I'm sure that a lot more people quit gambling after losing money, rather than after winning.
Trying to quit gambling because you wife told you so seems hilarious to me. It seems that some men are total simps.
Your wife having total control over your life is something you should be worried about.
No wonder that the words "life" and "wife" look so similar in the English language.

"Crypto believer" is one thing, "Bitcoin believer" is a different thing, despite the fact that Bitcoin is crypto.
Elon Musk is a supposed to be a "crypto believer", if you think that dogecoin is an actual cryptocurrency.
People like Roger Ver and Craig Wright are also "crypto believers", which is hilarious.
The new British prime minister being a crypto believer doesn't mean anything to me. He won't make Bitcoin a legal tender in the UK for sure.
Don't expect this news to bring any kind of benefit for the crypto community in the UK or the crypto supporters around the globe.


I never knew that most of the people in the UK are working as bank clerks. Ha ha ha...

Wood prices for heating have been booming in my country(EU). I've ordered wood for heating at the low 2021 price levels and I'm still for my order to get fulfilled.
The wood prices going up is just pure FUD and speculation. The people got scared due to the natural gas price explosion and the constant fear of a "cold winter" being spread over the mainstream media. Everyone started buying wood for heating and the prices went up 3x.
Now the natural gas prices in my country are going down and winter won't be that cold. We have enough wood in the forests, so I don't think that wood is scarce where I live. Everything is just speculation BS and FUD and many idiots are going to buy overpriced wood this winter.

What do you mean by "gambling house"? Do you mean casino? Are you talking about online casinos or offline casinos?
I don't know about any online casinos revealing the identity of the players, who won big amounts. Do you have any info about such practice?
I remember that a big lottery game in my country was revealing the names and faces of the lottery winners years ago.
The winners were required by the lottery to reveal their identities for advertising purposes(proving that the lottery is legit).
Anyway, the lottery game was banned for cheating and showing TV commercials with "jackpot winners" who didn't won the jackpot.
No gambler or jackpot winner must reveal his/her identity without his/her permission.

Ah, yes. Bitcoin is the ultimate alternative against "the powers that be", but at the same time 90% of the Bitcoin traders/investors want more regulations from the same "powers that be"(central banks, governments), which would lead to wider crypto adoption and higher BTC prices.
We are against "the powers that be", the rich elites and the institutional investors, but at the same time, we want the rich elites and the institutional investors to adopt BTC, so that the BTC price could reach the moon. Isn't this hilarious?
Bukele is a politician, which means that he is a professional liar(like all politicians). I don't expect any politician to tell me the truth.

Money aren't the main motivator. Social media platforms aren't very profitable and their stocks are overpriced.
Elon Musk is driven by his own ego. He wants to be in the spotlight. He wants the people to like him and talk about him 24/7. Maybe he's turning into a narcissist or maybe he keeps trolling everyone.
Meta is going  downhill. Instagram is trying to become the new TikTok and the IG users hate that. Facebook has become "grandma's favorite social media" and the young people ran away from FB years ago.
Maybe Musk wants to make Twitter "great again", by reducing the amount of censorship and trying to gather more republican/conservative/right-wing users, who keep complaining about the progressive-liberal "big tech" corporations trying to silence them.

Both the price and the purpose of Bitcoin are important. The question is, to what extent are they important for the different kinds of Bitcoiners.
For the BTC traders/investors, the price is more important than the purpose. For the unbanked people living in poor countries, the purpose is more important than the price.
The true purpose of Bitcoin (being p2p electronic cash) isn't important at all for the people, who keep their BTC on centralized exchanges.
Those people are the majority of the Bitcoin users around the world. This is the sad truth.
I would say that there is a Pareto distribution, when it comes to the importance of both the price and the purpose. It's like 80/20.
80% is the BTC price and 20% is the purpose of BTC. That's how the people view Bitcoin.

Barcelona needs to get rid of the veterans like Busquets and Pique. They did a great job in the last 10 years for the club, but they can't maintain their top performance from 10 years ago. Barcelona needs more physical strength in the middle. Pedri is a really talented player, but he's short and skinny. Keeping Lewandowski and Dembele for the next season is crucial. I don't know why Barcelona sold Aybameyang, maybe because of the financial difficulties the Catalonian club is facing. Aybameyang and Lewandowski would have been a great attacking duo.
I'm also sad that Atletico Madrid missed the chance to win against Leverkusen. That missed penalty at the end was ridiculous.

The only benefit of redesigning the banknotes would be increasing the level of security and lowering the amount of counterfeit banknotes currently being in circulation. I'm not an expert on Nigerian economy and finances, but I don't think that there are that many counterfeit Nigerian naira in circulation. The criminals would be making way more money by counterfeiting US dollars and euro, not Nigerian naira.

Improving our winning changes? Are you kidding me? You know that the casino always wins at the end, right?
You are a legendary member, but your way of thinking seems the same as a newbie, who gambled on a casino for the first time. This is weird.
There's no such thing as "gambling techniques". The "technique" you are describing is martingale and every gambler in the world has tried this "technique" for the last 100 years without any long term success.
Gambling "techniques" cannot increase your chances of winning, because the luck factor cannot be changed. What if you double bet loses?
What if you next double bet after the previous doubled bet loses? Keep losing until you run out of money?

The Bitcoin price increased by a thousand dollars and the newbies say that the bear market is over. This is a newbie thing to do.
How many times the Bitcoin price went above 20K USD in the last couple of weeks? More than once. Was there a significant bull run? Nope.
Can you backup your theory about new ATH coming soon with some facts or a proper analysis? I don't think so.
A new Bitcoin ATH is going to be reached in 2025. Nobody and nothing could possibly make me change my mind.

Don't pay anything and just declare personal bankrupt/default. Many countries around the world have such option for the citizens to declare a personal default, if they can't payoff their debts. I don't know if your case scenario is real or just a theoretical example.
You can't payoff all that credit card debt with only 80 dollars per month. That's impossible. If you start paying off the debts on one credit card, the other four credit cards will charge you additional higher interest rates for not paying on time. Your overall debt will keep growing, even when you pay small amounts on one credit card. This seems more like a "debt spiral". Going bankrupt is the only way.

Glorious victory for Benfica against Juventus. The Italian team has lots of good players, but the squad lacks confidence. I guess that Juventus needs a new coach.
Real Madrid and Manchester City already qualified for the next round, so playing without motivation and not winning their matches yesterday wasn't a surprise. Dinamo Zagreb couldn't compete with AC Milan and I'm sure that AC Milan will follow Chelsea in the eliminations phase.
Can't wait to see Barcelona vs. Bayern. The Catalonian team will have to beg for mercy.
Brugge vs. Porto is another interesting game. The Belgian team has a really good performance in this year's season of the Champions League.
Perhaps Brugge can achieve something big and reach the quarter-finals.

The institutional investors are tied to the fiat money system. They can't untie. Dumping the fiat system and choosing an alternative would simply mean that the institutional investors would lose the support of the central banks and the governments, which will kill their business.
The more crypto looks like fiat money, the more institutional investors will get interested into investing in crypto. The problem is that cryptocurrencies will lose their true nature, if they simply turn into another form of fiat money.
The current situation in terms of global crypto regulation seems enough balanced. Any more regulations regarding the mandatory declaration of cold wallets and/or dumping PoW coins would simply destroy the balance. This means that crypto will turn into "fiat 2.0" and the institutional investors might like it, but the true crypto supporters, who want decentralization would be repulsed by the new regulations.

What's the point of this forum post? Crying and whining about the European central bank's monetary policies?
The natural gas prices in Europe actually went down recently, because the European gas storage facilities are filled up to 90%.
The European Union imports a tiny amount of Russian gas right now. The expectations of a global recession pushed the oil/gas prices down, so the OPEC countries decided to lower their oil production. The EU inflation rates will start lowering in 2023-2024, when the EU economy adapts to the new supply chains and the newly found "gas independence" from Russia.
I know that the European central bank reacts really slow to the inflation, but increasing the interest rates will create problems with certain countries to pay off their debts(Italy, Greece, etc.).

Did OP really withdraw his earnings? I can't see a valid proof of a successful withdraw. The second image link shows deposits, not withdrawals.
This forum post seems more like an Advertisement for bc.game. OP, you can prove that this is your account? Screenshots can be faked with inspect element. If I win 9.6K USD out of a 200 USD bet, the last thing I would do is to take screenshots of my casino account.   I would be so happy that I will forget to do such thing (and I hate bragging about making money).
Anyway, congratulations for your winnings (if your story is actually true).

The only thing that China is losing is potential tax income. Many people in China are still using crypto, but they are trying as hard as they can to hide it from the government officials. If crypto was legal, a big portion of those people would declare their crypto income and pay taxes for it. I don't want to discuss the potential benefits of the blockchain technology, because such benefits are yet to be discovered.
Another thing that China lost is the ability to influence the cryptocurrency markets. Remember when more than 50% of crypto mining was located in China and every FUD news coming from there had an immediate impact over the crypto prices. I'm glad that this is over.

The upcoming recession might be stagflation, which means recession+inflation. However, the chance of having a stagflation crisis isn't that big.
I can't imagine how the working class people would survive losing their jobs and having to deal with increasing food prices at the same time.
The governments aren't prepared for fighting recession/stagflation. The national debts are at historical levels and the interest rates are growing globally, which means that getting new debt will become more expensive. Mortgages and consumer debt will also become more expensive. Nobody is fully prepared for a crisis, but let's not panic and let's not believe in the massive FUD. The winter is going to be hard, but the next spring/summer might be a better period.

1.If you are so afraid of losing money, why don't you just play gambling games that don't require betting actual money?
There are plenty of games available for free on Android and iOS and AFAIK there are some browser games that can be played on PC.
2.If you are so afraid of getting scammed, just bet small amounts on the online casinos. You will be fine, unless you lose your self-control and start betting big amounts. Just check out which online casinos have good online reviews and also which online reviews are genuine.
If you are still afraid of getting scammed, I can't help you.

I think that there is a misunderstanding of the term "regulation".
The governments trying to regulate the crypto industry is one thing. The governments trying to destroy your privacy and achieve complete control and transparency over your assets is a completely different thing. This doesn't seem like regulation to me. It seems more like dictatorship.
Of course, all this BS comes with good intentions. Fighting tax evasion and money laundering. Lowering the amount of crypto scams, etc.
The battle against total government control is inevitable. Trying to protect your privacy will become more and more difficult in the future and you might be facing consequences.
