This terrifies me! I'm about to use an exchange to sell for the first time & this was one of the ones I was considering, along with Bitstamp and Coinbase.

As long as you're using centralized exchanges, there's always a risk of something like this happening. Your first picks are all established CEX so that's a good start when it comes to lowering the risks that comes with it.

Quote from: Leahhhh
I want to be able to sell and get a withdrawal to my bank account within one business day, which is what Bitstamp seems to say is possible. Am I being over-optimistic in thinking such a thing is possible and is Bitstamp a good choice for a UK resident?

It seems possible and maybe a local would be able to answer your last question better? head over to /r/BitcoinUK/

Meta: latter stuff were kinda off topic, I suggest creating your own thread for it  Cheesy

Can you tell me which ones aren't centralized?
Between bitstamp and coinbase? AFAIK both of them are pure centralized. Or if you mean which exchanges are not centralized except from the two exchange earlier, you can reffer to this post > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5103776.0.

I use cex.io and I never had a problems with them. Maybe the OP have dome something that is against their rules, that is why they blocked his account. It is normal for them to ask information so that they will verify if you are guilty or not and they can also use this information against you if ever you have proven to be guilty. I see that cex.io have replied, I hope this can help the op to calm down a bit as things are being sorted out.

Manchester united I actually leading in possessions and passes completed. But Athletico Madrid is leading in goal and also leading in attack both dangerous attack.
Manchester united has never find a way to proceed forward in the game. Athletico Madrid studied them well and is giving them very hard marking.
Ronaldo is already sad because he is being handled rough and he doesn't have chances. Pogba is not doing well in the middle and Maguire I can say is the cause of the goal felix scored because he left him unmarked.
Let us see how the second half will go.
really unsatisfactory, even though 65% of the ball possession is at MU but they still can't score a goal. it is very noticeable that the ATM is playing "defense". they know that Manchester United is a pretty difficult team, Ronaldo looks a little frustrated because he can't score a goal for Manchester United in this match.
Even it's disappointing for Manchester United they have good ball possession but still unable to deliver any goal but good thing Atlético Madrid is leading by only one goal which is also not bad at all for visiting team Manchester United because they have some good firepower, and they can turn tables for good at home against them.

Right now, match is in 65 minute with still very long way to go if home team have another goal then surely it's going to be bad for them but this result or draw is surely going in visitors favour. In other match Ajax is leading match through 1 - 2 which is usual from them, and they are going to be in next stage after having this win because Benfica's journey is going to end at Ajax home without any serious trouble from them.

Liverpool took a 1-0 lead in just 15 minutes against Leeds United. This match is going to be one-sided as we expected. Salah scored from the penalty spot. And my guess is that in this match we will see a few more goals from the Liverpool players. I am expecting to score more than 3 goals. Liverpool have a better chance of winning 3-0. Let's see what the results are.
After 35 minutes Liverpool leading by 3 - 0 with 2 goals from Salah through penalties and now his tally of goals is 19 mean no one is going to challenge him for leading goalscorer of this season Jota is at second spot with 12 goals and no one near these both Liverpool is on very good run with today way of play it looks like now they are ready for having their full sight on title race challenge with Manchester City with today win now they are trailing by only three points and this could be not big for any team.

Tottenham after winning against Manchester City today having not good chances against struggling Burnley and at the end of first half we have 0 - 0 on board for both teams now in second half Tottenham need to do some very aggressive approach for having all points from this match.

Third match is going also very interesting as Watford is trailing by 1 - 2 against Crystal Palace, and now they also need some good strategy for coming out of relegation zone.
1664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: EFL English Championship League Thread 2021/2022 on: February 23, 2022, 08:00:44 PM
Today we have some very interesting matches in Championship as Leaders going to host Peterborough and in other matches Derby going to host Millwall this is surely very important game for Derby if they want alive in this Championship because now gape is widening and time is running out for them, so they need to act very quickly for their best chance to stay here.

Another very fascinating match between two top ranked teams as both looking to stay in for play-offs but Blackburn current poor run is going to hurt them for this place Sheffield Utd vs Blackburn Sheffield Utd is doing very good and most chances after today win they will jump above and have very fair chance for staying here and fight for play-offs. QPR also losing points very frequently, so this match can give them some confidence as Blackpool are also struggling and going down.

In sports betting, most people don't consider their losses they only jump up when they win forgetting that they have lost so many times.
That's because they are literally gambling for fun, they enjoy when they are winning and just forget their losses, except for those who are really addicted in gambling. When you are serious with gambling, I mean like your aim is to make money, you should treat it like a business where you have like a financial statement, particularly the income and lose report.
I think they jump because they didn't expected to win or the win was too huge for them. They do realize their past losses but for them winning can rarely happen , that is why they are very happy but to treat gambling as business? I think that will only work if you are the owner and not the costumer because your chance of winning are lower than them.

Playing professionally or when someone sponsors you is the only way to earn stable income in gambling. If were are just a costumer we should only treat gambling for fun and it does not really matter if we will play a single bet or a multi bet because both of them are equally fun anyway.
1666  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake Wagered $1.3 million in super bowl bet using bitcoin on: February 22, 2022, 01:12:35 PM
I don't recommend Stake to get Drake as one of their endorsers, Drake has a gambling problem he can bet a huge amount of money because he still can make a lot of money as a concert artist and he also admitted that he has a gambling problem, it's against what Stake.com preaches in their TOS about responsible gaming.
That contradicts them and other than that, it is also a bad example for others too follow because that can make them addicted too but of course it will still depend on the person if they will follow what their idol's lifestyle.

Gambling is not bad though but only if done in moderation or they should only make a bet according to their capacity. We can say that it is not really a big deal for drake because he has the money to support his habits and there will be no worst things that can happen to him. Drake is already famous and is busy already so he might not accept the stake's offer if ever he is being contacted to do some of promotions for them.
1667  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Meme coins still makes you rich or end of trend? on: February 22, 2022, 09:29:46 AM
It’s like anything, you can get lucky if you invest in the right one & make huge gains. All likelihood though is you’ll pick the wrong one to invest in & lose money. If you feel like taking a risk & must invest in meme coins don’t invest more than you can afford to lose.
But all the meme coins are having a bad market as of recent, they are all bearish. Doesn’t seem like Dogecoin is recovering again, after it almost broke a record of one dollar all time high price. And this has been the only time that Dogecoin had any serious bullish trend ever since it was created by its creators who sees it as a joke and merely takes it as a serious thing.

Now, we don’t know whether there will ever be another time like this again that the price will go as high as it did. SHIB hasn’t been good also as of recent. It’s no longer a trend, everybody has moved on to other new trends in the market, especially the metaverse.
1668  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Withdrwal issue with myetherwallet on: February 21, 2022, 08:05:29 PM
many have a phobia of myetherwallet, which is a phobia of fee gas. it takes a lot of ethereum to transfer tokens, even if it only transfers a small amount. this is what makes me lazy to use myetherwallet.
The gas problem is not in the side of mew but they are just following the recommended gas fee based on eth network. If there is going to be blamed here that is only eth and not mew. I am an old user of mew and I do not have any problems with them and I am still using them until now as my main eth/erc20 wallet.

What only limits me to make a transaction is the high fee and my tokens are not that huge anyway to take the risk. Have you tried other eth based wallets ex metamask and trustwallet because my experience is also the same as mew where their gas fees are also high but I think there is an option to manually set the gas based on your own preference but this can be risky as transactions might get stuck if you put a very small fee.
1669  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Where do you trade your crypto on: February 21, 2022, 03:42:27 PM
There are a lot of top cryptocurrency exchanges where you can safely trade cryptocurrencies, and from these top cryptocurrency exchanges, I can single out binance, coinbase, ftx, huobi, kucoin and gate, for me these are some of the top and highest quality cryptocurrency exchanges that I constantly use for cryptocurrency trading, as well, of course, there are many other cryptocurrency exchanges where you can also safely engage in cryptocurrency trading.
Top exchange safe? pfft.. Maybe your not aware of the hacks and freezing of accounts that happened lately. Maybe to some top exchange these things didn't happened yet but let us prepare ourselves because that might happen soon. Top exchange also asks KYC and it can be stolen during the hack or we do not know that exchanges are selling our KYC to make more money?

Decentralized exchanges are usually not a top exchanges and there also hacks that can happen to them but they don't ask KYC and most especially they don't freeze your funds of your lock your account without your consent. Let us choose our exchange wisely.

https://www.euronews.com/next/2022/02/09/russia-s-government-and-central-bank-agree-to-treat-cryptos-as-currency

From considering a ban to admitting that it is nearly impossible to prevent the use of bitcoin, that is already extended to millions of its citizens that will not stop their trading and holding just for an official ban, the government has chosen a much wiser path, legalise and make sure that the actors of the market are clearly identified and can operate in full compliance with legislation.
There was a saying once that "if you cant beat them join them" this is now happening in the country of Russia where their government join its people because people seem cant get enough of using a bitcoin even though bitcoin is banned already in their country.

Sometimes it takes only courage to get what you desire unlike to other countries where they got scared easily in anything that their government is saying but I guess they are only care about their selves or to their love ones because they can also get in trouble if they wont follow the protocol. Their government might want to do regulations too so that they can also identify the bad actors in the market.
1671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: February 21, 2022, 12:45:53 PM
Attitude of big-3 specially India is very arrogant, as they have rules like no indian player will play any foreign leagues, no Pakistani player can play IPL and what you mentioned (not sending team to Asian games). More sad is role of ICC in such situations as it merely has no authority to solve things when there is conflict. Do you ever wonder where are teams of kenya, Zimbabwe?
Here you are right Big-3 is main problem in ICC and cricket's better future specially Indian are doing dirty politics after introduction of IPL and having huge funds in their pockets.

But here concern is not IPL, and we are not talking why they are not allowing their players for other leagues and now allowing Pakistani cricketers in their league here is concern these all boards need to do some worth with ICC for having better structure and other facilities in countries where we can do some good for this game and youths can join this as professional cricketer which is increase its popularity, and we will be able to have some more good and quality teams in this frame.

Its almost 90 minutes and marseille are losing 2 0 at home against clermont what a disapointing result for them despite being dominant all game long clermont managed to score two goals with only two shots on target the only positive thing for marseille is the fact that they are still on the second position with a point away from nice.
This 25th round of French Ligue 1 was full of shocking results because two top ranked teams lost their matches and few other good teams were also down against weak sides which make some interesting changes in league table even PSG is still 13 points ahead of second seed team Marseille which means they have no challenge for this year's title race.

Moreover, the race for other top ranks is now very interesting because few teams are improving their performance and want to have some better spot with European connection, but it's not easy for them because shocking result can happen against any team like we have Bottom side team Bordeaux done good performance against Monaco and match end with score of 1 - 1, and now we have Marseille lost at home against another lower rank which give them some good points for staying in good position.

Bitcoin has made so many people rich,it has turn people from frustration to being very rich.The way Bitcoin has helped people can't be over emphasized.
The best thing about Bitcoin is that it doesn't even take much period to turn people's situations around.
The way to success in Bitcoin is by holding,and wait for it outcome.
Success isn’t something that comes overnight, so Bitcoin only favored those who were able to have patience. Not everyone was able to invest in Bitcoin and have patience for as long as it takes for the value to go up. I have so many friends who I started this Bitcoin with, and majority of them gave up because they thought that it wasn’t going to be worth anything at all.

Most of them couldn’t wait for it, because it was taking long. And that was how they ended up missing the opportunity that would have fetched them a lot of profit more than they could ever be able to make from any other type of asset that they would be investing in. People who usually want to make money quickly, are the ones that end up getting disappointed. Although I do know there are some of them who might be lucky, but Bitcoin requires patience.
1674  Economy / Economics / Re: People over 65 having most of wealth in US on: February 20, 2022, 07:43:25 PM
People over the age of 65 account for 76 percent of all wealth in the United States.

Consider where the crypto markets will be when the younger generations that have grown up with cryptocurrency reach the age of this group...
Those elderly people have invested most of their life in working so they have earned enough wealth to sustain their living but due to their age, I don't think they would still be able to learn about cryptocurrency since most of them aren't techy anymore. I guess the most effective way is to have them guided when it comes to crypto investment by their trusted family members.
I think there is no science behind it. Older people are tend be wealthier than the young ones because they have been working for a long time and they already save enough but younger people that are involved in cypto have an advantage because the earning rate will be two times faster here than what the older people did before.

It is not only the age of the crypto investor that will grow but the crypto market will grow as well. Sure most older people right now did not like techy stuffs because they do not have it before in their era but we can always tech them if ever they want to experience what crypto be like. Apart of it, we have crypto icons (celebs/famous personalities) that are already old. Age does not limit them.

Afghanistan have played 5 test series (all series have single test only) and they have lost only one series so far that is with India. All there home series are in India. They have beaten WI, Bangladesh and Ireland in test matches. Afghanistan and Bangladesh both are team of same level and both have same chances of wining the series.
Here I am also favoring Afghanistan in twenty/20 and for ODI series I have feeling that both teams will fight hard because one is having some experience and second is full of talent with this we are going to have some very exciting matches from these both sides, but Bangladesh is going to have some advantage as they are playing at home and their performance is very good against few teams here even few days back they lost against Pakistan but against Afghanistan they can do some better performance and most chances they will have some important points from this series as well.

ICC need to do some work for more cricket for these countries because this is very helpful and players will have some good experience from these matches instead of allowing them for leagues.
1676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 20, 2022, 06:09:37 PM
Interesting start to the game! Grin Sassuolo take the lead away to Inter... Bookmakers are giving a good odds of 1.75 for Inter's win so far, but I think it could still go up in the next few minutes if Inter don't even the score! Inter have been playing worse recently... If they want to climb back into first place, they need to win today!
A very interesting week for all top ranked teams as AC Milan and Juventus end in draw Atlanta lost and now inter is also trailing by 0 - 2 against Sassuolo with this most chances they have chance of one point because many times inter fightback even just for one point and currently this is very important for them because if they lost this match then surely they will drop at third spot and it is big shock for them and their fans after having very good time at top suddenly going down is not good signal with having very poor result against Liverpool in Champions League first league match.

Hopefully we will have some better return from inter in the second half of this match with some very good effort and team spirit.
1677  Economy / Economics / Re: [POLL] What is the most likely long term scenario for Bitcoin? on: February 19, 2022, 08:29:38 PM
Major investment asset, it will rival gold
Personally am much convince that one-day, bitcoin rivalry with gold will be contending and then people would have been satisfied that the two are the major investment and asset one could not afford doing without.
totally agree with this statement. bitcoin will be one of the investment instruments that will rival gold and people's views on bitcoin will be more positive in the future

... it will not be possible for bitcoin to become a currency that will replace the existing fiat currency, surely the central bank will prevent this from happening
What about now? I think this is already known that btc is a rival of gold because they are always being compared to each other. Not to be biased but i think that btc is already a clear winner here because btc value have increased a lot year after year while gold merely show a gain. How much more in the future if btc became more mainstream? Gold is already known, it is old and rusty so I don't think there will be a major change in its value.

@OP
I voted for the 3rd choice in the poll because I think that is what suites bitcoin the most today and even in the future. Choices 4 and 5, I think have similarities. On choice number 4, you can remove  "A leading currency or asset ".

Juventus disappointed me by drawing with Torino by 1-1. I was pretty sure about a Juventus win in this match. Because they have strengthened their offense much more now and they would be more effective as for scoring. But that was not the case I'm afraid. I actually liked their first half performance but their effort decreased in the second half too much. Not even finding the target for once is a serious problem. And Torino benefited from their poor effort really well thanks to Belotti's goal.
Surely this was big shock for many because Juventus was doing much better and now fans were feeling they will stay here at fourth place with chance of going into fight with top ranked clubs for better result, but suddenly this match against Torino give big disappointment for all with this now they need some very hard work and better luck for staying in touch because Atlanta is also doing some better, and they will try to avail this chance for staying into top four which they were losing against Juventus.

Right now we have another big shocking result with Roma is losing against Verona at home with we already in 65 minute of this match, and they are losing by 0 - 2 with this result look like now they are losing space for sixth spot and Mou career is also having some more bad time because now his tactics are not working for him.

Expected much more from Lille in this match but they arent attacking enough to score a goal against Metz. Lille is an apsolute favorite in this match but aint showing anything on the field so they can win.
After winning last year's title they are completely unpredictable, and yesterday they lost a very fair chance for having 5th spot because this was very good chance for them to jump and have very good spot after very poor start of this season, but they fail and now most chances they will stay in middle of this league instead of having some better chance for staying at top 5 ranks. Now they are going to face Lyon in next round another good team with bad results in this season right now in mode of recovering because in last few matches they are improving their performance and having better results.

We have nearly 6 cards in last ten minutes of game and still end in goal less draw is frustrating for defending champions and very important point for relegation zone team Metz which now can do some better for next matches.

I think it's quite possible for Afghanistan to beat Bangladesh to be honest because the Bangladesh team is currently not in the best shape or form right now.

Well, Afghanistan is also not in the best shape or form right now too, but I think Afghanistan takes their cricket more seriously than Bangladesh. And obviously, if they can beat Bangladesh the other teams are going to fear them Lips sealed, what do you think?
Currently, Bangladesh is in not good shape but still they have very good record against Afghanistan which is also good for them and now playing at home is another good advantage for them because at home they have very good record like beating Australia and New Zealand so right now most chances both teams having fair chance for winning these series of T20 and ODI.

For me here, Bangladesh is going with good chance to win because they have very good batsmen and Afghanistan is mostly depending on their bowling, and they have some space in batting which need to fix in future for having some better and fair chance against top ranked teams. But good thing despite many issues both teams are having some good matches for better experience and good exposure of game which will help them in long run.
