I have had a direct experience with number  3 but as for number 6 it was a friend that fell for that in his early stage in cryptocurrency.

I got involved with some virtual mining stuff like that, where i had to pay money to purchase a crypto mining machine in the platform which will be mining coins for me every day and eligible to withdraw the coins to my wallet at each end of the month. It was a funny experience actually as I had to always checking the platform first thing eaxh morning I wake up to see how my investment was going. Long story short, I woke up one morning after two weeks of investing into it only to get a massage that the site is doing an upgrade and we should wait for update very soon, for over more than 3 years now am still waiting for the damn update about the site upgrade. Lol.
That was how I lost my money to that virtual mining scam.

As for the number 6, it happened to a friend who trusted another friend of his to buy him bitcoin into his wallet, just for his friend to
 buy below the amount he gave him money for and sent to his wallet, at that time this my very friend don't know how to calculate bitcoin or convert it to usdt because he was just trying to learn about crypto from the very person that was scamming him. It was after some months he got to know he was shortchanged in the amount of bitcoin his so-called friend sent to his wallet.
 How awful.

Welcome to the forum!

With the advancement of gambling no time is too late for any game particularly in sports bets  you can place your bet while the match has kickstart if you miss to do so before it started. There are availability of numerous options that you can't find any excuse not to place your bet except you didn't want to and all come with different risks to loss and gains.

I don't frequently gamble as at most it is twice or thrice a week meanwhile I always bet on sports games, and there have been times I have booked my games for the weekend but didn't place a bet immediately only to realize later on that some games has kick-started affecting the total amount of odds in all my accumulated games but I do still go on placing a bet on the odds that's left and many times I have made winnings in such scenarios than I have lost.

For those games that had started already and we're no more among my booked games ends up with a bad outcome that could have spoilt my supposed winning, so at times some games we missed to add in our bets can be of positive results to our bets missing out on them.

Applying  with the trust to be considered, hopefully.

What I mean by that is that at this point of
the discussion am sure we've both understood  each other's point.

You're absolutely right mate no one has a right to walk into another privacy and steal a property, but not everyone will behave or think in the way you do. The world has gone beyond were people take to heart between what's bad and what's good. So you should be able to embrace between what it is from what ought to be, and take your security above anything else.

So like the saying goes, when you're in Rome you behave like a Roman. Which literally mean, in a world like this never be stupid to leave your door open, there could be someone nextdoor waiting for the opportunity to hup in at any slightest chance to steal from you. Apply this ideology same to your wallet  private keys.
At this junction I take my bow not to return to this same discuss believing we are at square with it.

Op was just contradicting himself throughout each step of the way down the thread, and it perplex me to ask is OP just trying to catch cruise with us or is he really serious about all what he has said.

He's advised that a trader should go all in on a project or should take huge features leverage of x100, like how does he expect a trader with less money to go all in into such preposterous manner of trading that has little or no chance of winning a trade but the making of elephantine losses. I peck it to be a gambling strategic and not for trading, because there's no risk management in all of that, it's not even about investing what you can afford to lose, it's foolish to act so.

You don't need to know the thief and I think those wish/swear words of yours are unnecessary and the occurrence will repeat itself if you don't take appropriate measures to safely keep your private keys in place. I believe your funds weren't gotten access to because you're using a wallet with 12 private keys, same would have happened even if it was a 24 private keys phrase because this seems to happen due to a malware (maybe from a careless use of it online) or you exposure to a third party unknowingly to you. Swearing won't help but taken adequate measure towards your security online will do just fine.

It still baffles my imagination on how a gambler will open a gambling account with a gambling site and won't consider completing the comprehensive requirements that's needed for the verification of his account before going further to deposit money into that account for gambling use. Only to get back wailing and throwing tantrum when gambling fortune smiles on him he won an appreciable sum of amount of money and is being restricted from making withdrawal by the gambling site sighting his incompletion of kyc to that account.

 Every institution has their a module of operation and any client that doesn't appeal to it's operations is free to check for an alternative that meets his need, and not to forge ahead with that which he's not appealing with. Maybe some of these gamblers ain't aware that it's illegal to make withdrawal from a kyc required gambling site whem you haven't completely kyc to that account.

Gambling is mainly viewed in the negative lens of it by many people in our various societies no doubt gambling has a negative impact on people especially when they have  lost control of their gambling activities but on the other side of the divide gambling has been playing a key role behind the scene by the taxes they pay to government of the state they are located in and also providing employment to  citizens of that society whereby taking a number of unemployed out of the unemployment list in that society. With those taxes payed to government a positive influence can be felt on areas like security, and other sectors of the country economy depending on where the choose to channel such money to.

You don't wish when talking of the price of bitcoin you just have to get your conclusion/speculations through after doing your technical or fundamental analysis, you don't base your investment on wishes. Even when analysis is done before giving speculations about the future price yet it doesn't work as speculated not to talk of a wish.
Wether we like it or not, the all time high will not be possible by end of this year as we had earlier thought of from beginning. With the current bitcoin price at 26k$ right now we can't tell if it will go down below or go higher above 40k by the end of this year 2023, I can't say about hitting back the 69k$ ATH, but if you're a good holder continue holding the bull run we all expect is possible at most by 2025.

The problem of wars all over the different parts of the world instituted  from when the formation of world powers emerged and the means to keep their present state of affairs unhindered will only lead to war after another war which may or may not indirectly involved their flags but their interest will unveil their involvement anyway.

The victims of a truth are the regular people because they don't know what's going on behind the scene but are convinced by what the different state media choose to deliver to their mind. If I were to have a say I will choose to stay neutral about this nonsense called war for the sake of widespread peace because it is the taking of sides that still makes the war linger.

OP lacks an understanding of the difference between tax and fees and that's why he can ignorantly come up with this type of information about bitcoin. He needs to go back to the drawing board and strategize more and more because this just propaganda didn't hit as he had expected but a failed mission to mislead newbies about bitcoin and fiat difference.
Apart from all other explanations established by members about why the fees are attached to bitcoin mining and transactions, we call all attest that factors like inflation , centrality and control by government that's known to fiat are not associated with bitcoin.
