Twitch banned most of the Adult female streamers(also known as thots) for NSFW content.
Why do you think that Twitch won't ban the gambling streamers?
I'm not using Twitch anymore and I don't like that platform, but from my experience, Twitch is very slow when it comes to banning streamers that violate their Terms of Service. Maybe the platform is just too big and Twitch doesn't have a big enough team of moderators and customer support representatives that would effectively control all streamers. I'm sure that the gambling streamers will be banned in the long run.

I can't say that I've had a "worst moment" with Bitcoin. I've sold some BTC at the wrong moment and I've been scammed with small amounts of BTC, which was my fault. Nothing too dramatic or life changing. Maybe my "worst moment" with Bitcoin is yet to come. I hope that such moment doesn't come. Even if I have a bad moment with BTC, this would most likely be caused by scam crypto companies or crypto scammers trying to steal my coins. Bitcoin has nothing to do with this. I've had bad moments with ICO tokens back in 2017, when ICO tokens were considered "the next big thing", but they ended up being scams.

Another article spreading fear and panic. Aren't China and Taiwan basically one country(of course Taiwan has big autonomy)?
What would USA gain from a war against China for Taiwan? What would China gain for attacking (and probably occupying Taiwan)?
Both countries won't gain much from such situation. They would lose more than they could potentially gain. It's not worth the risk.
If there's a war between USA and China for Taiwan, nobody would give a damn about Binance and in which countries Binance is banned.

Buying Courtois is probably the second best transfer in the history of Real Madrid(after Christiano Ronaldo).
This goalkeeper is basically doing 50% of the work. The rest of the team does the other 50%.
I'm a big fan of Atletico, but things simply don't work in some matches. The players keep wasting goal opportunities while the opponent scores two goals out of nowhere and the game is lost. Congratulations for Real Madrid. They know how to win a game, even when they don't dominate that game and the they aren't showing their top performance.
Atletico won't be able to compete against Real and Barcelona for the first and second place of La Liga.

The adoption of Bitcoin as a legal tender in El Salvador seems like a failure at this point.
Why do you think that Bitcoin adoption would be more successful in bigger and well developed countries?
I don't see Bitcoin dominating over fiat currencies at any given point. The Gresham's law about money works. "Bad money takes out good money from the circulation." Fiat currencies are bad money and Bitcoin is good money. Why wasting your good money, when you could simply HODL them?
Nobody is saying that BTC mining is affected by the energy crisis. The BTC mining can only be affected by the governments and their stupid regulations.
I don't care about the conspiracy theories about the USA wanting to manipulate Russia into invading Ukraine(and weakening Germany by making the Russian gas expensive). This might be true or it might as well be Putin propaganda. Who cares?

I'm not a fan of Coinbase, but the Coinbase CEO is right about this.
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. This is supposed to be the foundation of the judicial system in every normal country around the world.
The US Treasury Department acts as if everyone using BTC mixers is guilty by default. And yes, the Treasury Department is acting as some kind of Gestapo and exceeding it's own authority.
The innocent people, who are damaged by the Tornado Cash shutdown will have to sue the American government for compensation of their financial loses and probably for defamation as well.


Coinbase, like any other legit company, are required by the law to impose KYC. They didn't impose KYC because they want to.

I'm not a gambling addict so it's not a problem for me to stop gambling for a while.
Maybe I will help a family in need, but maybe I won't. It depends. I'm not that generous and would help if I know more about the poor person/family and why they are in a bad situation. I wouldn't help people, who are alcoholics, drug addicts, gambling addicts, criminals, etc. because giving money to such people wouldn't help them at all. It would only make their situation worse.
The dilemma between gambling and charity isn't an actual dilemma, because most gamblers would simply choose both, I guess.

All this BS will basically turn into a meme at this point.
Environmentalists to the Bitcoin miners: USE GREEN ENERGY!
The Bitcoin miners: Starts using more green energy.
Environmentalists to the Bitcoin miners: DON'T USE ENERGY! YOU ARE WASTING EHERGY!
Bitcoin miners: But we are using green energy now.
I don't know how to continue this meme/joke. Maybe someone, who is smarter than me would write a punchline at the end.
In summary: We can't do anything to please the anti-Bitcoiners. Haters gonna hate, it doesn't matter what you do.

How to beat food inflation:
1.Eat less. Fasting is good for our health(even though I hear that some experts say that fasting is bad for our health). I don't know anything about nutrition and endocrinology.
2.Raise your own fruits and vegetables in your own garden or piece of land. The costs of doing agriculture are raising as well. The fall/winter are coming and you can't raise vegetables right now.
3.Increase your income. Get a promotion and a higher salary. Grow your small business. I can't give any particular advise about how to do that.

Ah, another gambling bot that promises "guaranteed profits".  Am I right?
There's nothing guaranteed in dice games. You could automate betting and perhaps you could impose some martingale "strategy" by using the bot, but at the end of the day, it's all about luck(or hope that the dice game isn't rigged).
Why don't you post more about your experience with the bot so far, OP? Is it really working?
This dice bot has a weird price model and the website is full with ads at the bottom.
A webpage about selling a digital product being full with ads. That doesn't seem professional to me.

Bitcoin is NOT a payment processor. Bitcoin is a currency.
Saying that Bitcoin is a payment processor would be the same as saying that the US dollar is a payment processor.
The Bitcoin blockchain might be viewed as a payment processor, but I don't think that this term is correct.
A payment processor is a company that processes payments for it's customers(both individuals and businesses).
Crypto companies like Bitpay and Coinpayments are actual payment processors and they are using both Bitcoin and altcoins.
I'm not an expert in this field, but I think that the credit/debit card companies like VISA, Mastercard, American Express and Discover aren't actual payment processors. They just provide the plastic cards and the technology behind them.

Holding money in a bank becomes a joke at this point. You don't get any interest, you have to pay fees to hold funds in a bank account and the bank can block your funds at any time. Inflation eating away your savings adds more salt to the injury. It's way better to hold fiat money under your bed, instead of a bank. Of course, somebody could steal your money, but there will always be risks involved.
Bitcoin/crypto seems like an alternative, but only a minority of tech savvy open-minded people would use BTC/crypto. The majority of the non-tech savvy people would always use the banks, because they don't know any better.

You have access to the internet and Google (and this forum). Do your own research and don't post pointless forum threads like this one.
If the games are loading really slow maybe the problem is in your computer. Try to optimize your PC by deleting unnecessary files.
I'm not a fan of slots games. To me, all slots games are basically the same, the flashy design might be a little bit different, but the concept is the same. There aren't good or bad slots games. Just try to find slots games that aren't rigged(maybe most of them are rigged).
I personally don't trust slots games enough to be able to waste a lot of money on them.

I wouldn't say that Bitcoin "dumps off a cliff". The Bitcoin price had dropped severely in the past, the current drop seems like a pretty normal percentage for a highly volatile asset.
I also wouldn't say that the price drop was caused by this inflation report. The high inflation was expected and I highly doubt that anyone is surprised by the levels of inflation in the US.
The Bitcoin price couldn't break above 25K USD so many traders decided to sell and get their short term profits. The selling pressure increased and the price dropped bellow 20K USD. That's a normal thing in the market. There aren't any factors right now, that can potentially create a stable bull run and build a FOMO phase on the BTC market.

Can't we just stop dividing the people based on gender, sex, religion, ethnicity.
People are people and the entrepreneurs are just entrepreneurs, it doesn't matter if they are men or women.
Women have many qualities and they can be successful in many fields. Men are more confident and love taking risks, but the times are changing. I know about statistics showing that the average level of testosterone in men is dropping every day, so the modern day men aren't as masculine, confident and energetic as their predecessors. We live in a more female-centric world than before, because of the mainstream media, feminism and the welfare state. I'm not saying that this is something bad. The times are changing and we might be witnessing more women entrepreneurs in the future(which isn't bad at all).

To be honest, I didn't expect Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and Porto to lose their games against teams that aren't that competitive.
Bayern vs. Barcelona was a pretty interesting game. Xavi needs more time to build a team that can be capable of winning the Champions League. The Bavarian team was solid as usual, even without Lewandowski. Bayern has a more versatile attack now.
Today, I expect the favorites like Real, AC Milan, Chelsea, Manchester City, Juventus and PSG to win their games against weaker opponents. 

The "51% attack" theory has been discussed a gazillion times in the forum. What's the point of discussing it again?
A 51% attack against the Bitcoin Core blockchain is:
1.Too expensive and requires lots of investment.
2. The end results probably won't lead to ROI and profits, because the Bitcoin price would crash severely and the attackers would be left with a bunch of worthless coins.
The second theory about one of the nodes being disabled seems as ridiculous as the first theory.
Isn't the whole meaning of "decentralized network" being a bunch of autonomous nodes, that can keep working even if one or several nodes become compromised? If all the nodes in the blockchain are dependent of one single one(or several nodes), the whole network actually isn't decentralized.

How do you plan to build a house? On your own or hiring other people to help you?
A part of the price difference between 37K USD and 16K USD is the price of the labor, which has to be used for building a house.
When you build your house on your own you don't include the value of your labor in the final cost.
Many people simply don't have the skills and time to build their own houses. Working 8 hours a day and working on building your house after getting back from work seems like hell.
It's easier to get a mortgage and pay monthly installments, while living in that house and working in your regular nine-to-five job.
Most people would prefer the easier but more expensive solution. 

What's the point of rigging basketball games and who would benefit the most?
AFAIK, those games are eliminations and the teams that lost actually wanted to win and continue in the next phase of the tournament.
What's the point of rigging three basketball games so that they could end with the same result? Is anyone betting on such outcome(multiple games ending with the same result)? I don't know about a sports betting platform, that offers such betting opportunity.
If the games were truly rigged, the people, who are rigging them would try everything they can to hide this. Ending in a same result looks too obvious. At the end of the day, such coincidences happen from time to time.

Bitcoin mining consumes energy and this energy has value. This value is being transferred into the value of Bitcoin.
If the Bitcoin blockchain was a simulator, then what's the point of wasting so much electricity for such simulation?
We could simply use the altcoin blockchains, which don't use as much electricity as the BTC blockchain or we could create a transaction simulator, which doesn't consume any electricity at all.
This is just another "Bitcoin isn't backed by anything real, so Bitcoin doesn't have value" type of FUD articles. Nothing new here.
The anti-Bitcoiners must come up with new and interesting concepts and ideas, instead of repeating the same old FUD.
