It isn't really matter of public what they think, even if he would be guilty in one of the 37 felony counts Trump got would technically get jail time. I am not certain if he would do the time in reality, but if he is, he is going to have to campaign from prison. These are federal charges and seriousness of these charges are totally on a different level then other charges trump has faced.

No lawyer even wants to represent him as they know it's not a winning case, but total nightmare. I would say that it would be easy money to bet on democrats if republicans can't get their act together.

I wouldn't be that optimistic but i am glad some of us are. Then again i remember in 2014-2015 people who thought btc goes over 10k were called delusional. I thought it would be delusional as well when my first bear market hit. And you can read from the early replys to this what the attitude was. Majority of people thought for sure this goes to zero or doesn't exist in 2025. If people could have seen in the future they wouldn't even believe how crazy things got.

Shipping costs? Are you referring to transaction fees? You are aware that bsc network can move other stable coins as well that are also dirt cheap to use?

Also i don't think many of us are using erc20, for moving small amounts of usdt anyway. Not only it's supported by bsc, you have move it via Arbitrum, Solana, Optimism, Tron, and even Bitcoin.

I am keeping mine in stablecoin if i want to reduce volatility. If i store something in fiat, i feel like i am completely out of the game.

Crypto industry definitely CAN tackle these issues, just not yet as there are no tools ready for that. But there's going to be.

Privacy trough ZK smart contracts alone and ZK based ID will guarantee that information will be private, and can in fact be a holy grail for GDPR / privacy laws. These are currently being made, they are just not ready for big adoption yet.

I am thinking that by security, OP means investor's security as user is always responsible for themselves. And it's really hard to do anything for the user safety on this. Users will be always the weakest link and vulnerable for social engineering, thefts or hacks. Some coins could technically deal this in token issuancer level and make transactions reversable. But i am not sure what that would look like or what would it do to the ideology of decentralization and permissionless transactions.

These immutable transactions most likely won't fly with regulators when we are talking about altcoins that had an ico, ido or any kind of sale. It's likely that demanding that user is responsible of his tokens (self custodity) will be against consumer protection laws but it isn't yet being dealt with.

Regulators can't really do anything about fairly distributed POW coins, or coins that have achived a certain level of decentralization, except maybe they can ban them from CEXes, but teams of funded coins could technically be sued later on about this. I am actually baffled why they haven't yet used this type of attack yet. Maybe it's coming later.

I really don't need to quit because i have planned my budget so that i won't be using but fraction of it to gambing anyway. If i win big i won't be gambling my winnings but keep my budget tied to the income from work minus expenses i have. My budget changes if electricity costs too much or if i have medical or what ever unforeseen bills that needs paying.

I am gambling because it's a fun past time, if i had a problem with it i might think of quitting after a big win. However after a big win it would be hard for anyone gambling for big wins. That would just wire your brain to think you can definitely win that again. And while you could, it would be as hard as ever as odds would stay the same.

Right, guy is a proven liar and have been two facing Trump. There's no way that people see him as more charismatic than any existing candinate. I mean the guy always looks annoyed like he sat on a pole or something. There's no way people would believe him or like him, his main think is to worry and mock others. Trump at least smiles while he does that.

At the start DeSantis looked like a winning candidate but he sure has a way to distant himself from the public.
I might be biased as my politics are total opposite of him, but the side of me who wants to make money via betting on this doesn't believe him winning either.

This doesn't really mean anything. If something would be truly decentralized they couldn't sue anything. There are always some form of centralized elements, especially with CEXes and with projects that launched via ICOS, IDOs or whatever money collecting method they have. They have a team to sue.

From what i understand it's the method how they marketed their coin. You can't promise growth or even hint about it. Many of these allowed price talk in their official chats and even that's a big no-no to SEC.

That sounded pretty specific and maybe something you have personally experienced. People gamble for same reason they do fun things: To pass the time.
It's not for everyone, but so is not gaming, boxing, smoking, watching tv climbing, paintball wars, drinking wine or race car driving. Some people have addictive personality, they need to choose healthy addictions if they want to stay healthy. Then there are people who gamble for fun and don't care what other people think. As long it's not hurting anyone i can't see any reason listening to people you described.

What you said contradicts itself as the whole point of it is that you have no control if your investment is safe. Or if by "keeping it safe" you meant that if binance disables withrawals it would be safer to keep BNB in self custody in your own wallet. That doesn't check out either as bnb won't be having value if binance goes down.

I am not sure what you meant by being trouble last time with sec. There can be several more charges, i see this as a start. But Binance has funds to fight this for years so this is not going to solve in a day and binance isn't shutting down suddenly.

It's really weird how some people tell themselves that they would need a loan to get on their feet with gambling when it's obviously just feeding addiction.
If those people could fund their lifestyle with gambling, they wouldn't need the loan in the first place. But i guess it's hard to see own cognitive bias even when you are so much in loss that you think loan would fix it. Obviously there's a change it can but that's just insane risk taking. Not fun and not responsible.

More powerful the tool, more powerful can be the benefits of it, but that goes also with the destructive power of it, as governments will try use it to destabilize other governments.

I wouldn't count any of your points as real "benefits" for humankind, except maybe security and learning. I would see more interesting how it could (in the future) deal with big constructs of data and find patterns people are missing out. Similar to comparing google trends but with a huge capacity to do that with all areas. I see it being used in fields of medicine, logistics, psychology, game theories, planning cities, planning for economies, and even designing more efficient and fair, progressive and sustainable models for government.

Yes, it is.

But i have encountered people doing this. Even people i thought highly about before hearing they do that. I am not really sure if they believe in astrology or believe that if enough people trade with astrology, it starts to be self fulfilling prophecy. Anyway, which ever tactic works for you, you should use it. Many see pure traditional TA similar to crystal balls and tea leaves anyway. I wouldn't trade other people's money with astrology though. That seems like irresponsible. More irresponsible then trading others money if possible.

Why do you think you have a right to reject kyc? How do you know it's unsafe as you refused to even do that?

Depending how much you are withdrawing, and if they are suspicious about your region where you claim to live, they are legally obligated to ask for it.

I am not sure where you have been during these few years but it's the brand new world now. Casinos and exchanges are complying with regulators. Number of those who don't require kyc are slim to none. And even those might want it later.

Well even if they solved the problems and would be unique solutions, that's doesn't necessarily show as green in the price charts. Adoption can't really happen without finished product, so i have invested speculative value because i believe that those devs are working hard with the problem others don't tackle. Some big coins have been even using their code.

I am just looking for elsewhere as well, trying to look for new innovations that would rule the next cycle, last time i got lucky and got excited about nfts in 2019 so i got in early.

Burning it more often then originally scheduled would be another nail for the Binance as that would be market manipulation and even more ammo to SEC. And if i even i know this you can bet that binance advisors would be against that move. If you think that price won't recover without price manipulation, you should definitely sell or short because Binance will be very careful about their next steps as they are preparing for the court. I am just glad that it's one of the few players that has budget to fight.

I once was talking with a guy that i thought was intelligent as he was good in chess. And he was defending the martingale strategy to me and nothing i said made trough him. He was convinced that if you had enough money it would work. I tried to argue that eventually it's likely that there will be a losing strike that wipes your balance, no matter how small your bets are or how much money you had.

And if you had so much money what are you playing with small bets anyway. It would take ages to give him any meaningful wins. Then he started to argue that if he had infinite amount of money it would work.

That made me stop talking. I wasn't going to argue about the absurdity of infinity, but it was very telling to me how far people with gambler's fallacy are willing to go to not face the reality.

Yes, most of us are lucky, and i am sorry to hear that you need to use VPN only to access some information resources.

But you are literally involved in illegal activities when your country is sanctioned and hiding behind fake ip as you are trying to get around sanctions by pretending you are from some other country.

It's your fault as an individual that you need VPN, but trying to get past casino's legal agreements is not justified cause when your country is under sanctions. You can't really blame casinos either after they cancel your account.

It's frankly mind blowing to me that we seem to be again in the phase where it's possible again get 10x immediately by participating into presale. And we are in the bear market. This means that there will be ton of new idos etc to try to ride this wave and new investors are lining up for profits. We have seen this cycle so many times that it's just funny to watch it unfold again. There seems to be a section of people now investing to new tokens just because they are new, no matter if they come right out of sale with 10x returns.

It's now SUI is number one dropping in 7d% time frame by whopping -34.58% so hopefully you didn't go all in yet. And frankly i see everything dropping again soon after markets get stabilized. This was just first leg.

Also i don't understand what op is basing his ideas. Like highly centralized Bitxgold seems like a paid advertisement. Some of those might make it, but i am guessing it's because OP got lucky with one of them. Those predictions doesn't make any sense to me.

Why is BNB most worrying? Imho it always was problematic. This is just those problems manifesting themselves.

Everyone knew that it's going to be centralized. Even if it has smart contracts it's still an exchange coin and totally dependable about Binance. Reason why it rises was because everyone thought Binance was untouchable. And for a long time it seemed to be so. They have done so much for some many people, giving charities and most likely lobbying a lot in everywhere in the world.

Still everyone knew deep down that BNB is going to be be paired with well being of Binance. This is what "fudders" were afraid of, and now when it's unrevealing in front of everyone, people will soon realize that if binance loses, the bottom of bnb is going to be zero. And that would make this crypto winter last for ages.
