The company layoffs are bad if you consider how many current employees would lose their jobs and have to find other ways to look for work, but I think they were just fired that way. They were paid in 2 months' worth of instalments, which alone demonstrates how fortunate they were to work for Twitter. If nothing was paid, he owns his company, and don't think there were conditions attached to the transfer of the company to the new manager.

The $500 million for workers is just too much for a new firm that has debts and liabilities to clear. Additionally, some of the employees were performing remote work that might have been done within the company, there is more to all the sack talk than people are discussing.

A lazy newbie will continue to be a lazy one, and in the world of cryptocurrency, being a lethargic person usually means losing money. Since it's so challenging for new pre-sale projects to get listed in an A-tier exchange, they usually settle for the least expensive options, that been said. However, I believe that most of the layer 1 blockchains on which these projects were built have decentralized exchanges where users can buy and sell coins without having to leave them on centralized exchanges.

I can't speak for everyone, but I can say that despite the newbie excuses, some of them have learned to keep their coins in personal wallets as a result of what we have all experienced with CEX. I can also say that despite all the hacks and incidents, there are some people who have been in this space for more than half a decade that have yet to learn to be their own custody, they would rather watch their investments on CEX on high risk.

You think someone who have spent over 60 weeks in the campaign doesn't know the necessary?
Sometimes, learn to keep shut and face your job instead of spamming threads and running your mouth over what is not your concern.

There is more to the Twitter situation that most people are unaware of. It appears that during the course of the Twitter deal, Elon did not have enough funds to proceed with the deal, so he had to make some financial assistance to continue the deal, and now, according to some sources, they currently have about $13 billion in liabilities to make with a yearly return of $1 billion. I don't get why people are up in arms over what he bought with his money and other people's money. Some sources also claim that roughly 3,000 employees were fired since it allowed Twitter to save about $500 million per year, if this estimate is right, Elon is good to go.

I hope Twitter takes time to restructure in a way that suits other corporations, their current conflict with Apple, in my opinion, is unnecessary. I mean, Apple is a big company, and Elon is also big, but you can't always win. I can't imagine there isn't a Twitter app for iPhone on the App Store, he needs to liaise with them for peace and sweet revenues.

Bitcoin is a digital asset that the world has never seen before, it is built the way it is for the people and people love it that way, despite the ups and downs, the number of people who have an interest in bitcoin keeps growing, if people want it, they should allow it, after all, it is not forced on anyone, making it a legal tender gives the holder hope that it is recognized and the reason to doubt and fear it would be eliminated.

Within you and from the actions of the government you have seen, you will agree with me that it is all about power and control. The government hate anything they cannot control within their cycle that is why instead of accepting it as a legal tender, they rather regulate it and eat junk of revenue from it since they know it is a global currency they cannot control and they found ways to swallow revenues they are used to, they regulate it and claim they are friendly with Bitcoin
The government is accustomed to fiat, but there are some additional characteristics that bitcoin has that money does not. For instance, the dollar is a global currency that is widely accepted in most countries due to its stability durability, and advantages over local currencies, bitcoin, on the other hand, is far superior to fiat because it is censorship resistance, peer 2 peer, divisible in bits, limited in supply, decentralized, and no middle man, this is what the government don't want and hence the reason for legal tender rejections.

Will Sam be allowed to go to jail? Most likely not in my opinion because the democrats he has donated wouldn't want to see there and wiped along with his mistake. apart from that one reason, he may go back to jail but I don't think it will be in the Bahamas neither nor the US because after following some of the updates surrounding him, I was made to understand that he will reimburse all FTX. US users 100% of their balance and his extradition is unlikely and also during the cost of FTX collapse, he allowed some Bahamas investors to withdraw their investments because he doesn't want people to surround his compound, may be other countries may threaten him if they don’t get their funds from FTX international.

This year has been full of dramas and has affected bitcoin growth but rest assured, it will bounce back because the worst has happened in the past and we saw a new ATH of bitcoin price.

This is not the first time centralized exchanges have been a threat to the growth of bitcoin but so many people forgot Mt.Gox very quickly than it occur or perhaps new corners haven't been victim but people who have been there over past 8 years knows how it feel to leave coin on an exchange and becomes unable to have access to them, now that FTX has taught everyone a big lessons, it will be a history that we will all find hard to forget, I wasn't affect but the mistakes all made us to have unrelaise loss(if you have not sold).

Recently, I have seen so many exchanges all making a merklle tree by publishing their proof of reserves but the solutions remain the same, not your keys, not your coins. What is a proof of reserve without liabilities, what are the coins that belong to users and the ones they owed and their personal investments, buy whatever you want to buy if you must use centralise exchange to buy bitcoin but don't live your coin on any exchange. it is as simple as that.

I don't want to go into too much detail about exchanges because this topic is about how beginners should focus on keeping funds and recovery phrases safe, but if most users had followed this little warning, most of the users who got bitten by the FTX exit wouldn't be in the mess they are today, considering they were the second exchange by volume after Binance. Exchanges are important for cryptocurrency, but trust me when I say that his little cautions are as significant.

The majority of new investors come on board true centralized exchange and because they are new to the system, it is always very hard to convince them that CEX is not the best place to keep their assets, some of them don't really trade that much, they buy whatever they want to buy and keep it there instead of sending it to their own personal wallets, maybe they are too lazy to watch over their own investments their self. I'm not sure why would anyone will buy bitcoin and keep it on an exchange, for what exactly!

That was typo. I’m very much familiar with passphrase and is different from seed phrase. It has been modified.

I'm reminding everyone here of the frequent collapse of centralized exchanges, which has resulted in many assets and wallets being drained and dried for trusting their money on centralized exchanges despite many warnings of not your keys, not your coins. I have a message for everyone, and I hope they take it seriously, especially those who have yet to withdraw their coins from centralized exchanges or custodial services.

The new designs of exchanges share a similar pattern and there is something I have noticed, Defi wallet integrated into Binance exchange wallets as a sub wallet and very soon, other exchanges will imitate the same style just to acquire more liquidity from users or traders.




Binance has integrated a Defi sub-wallet into their exchange, the option requires you to add a recovery phrase from your wallet to interact with its own BSC blockchain, we all know how important seed phrases or recovery phrases are meant to be with you, no third party. It should be with you alone because that way, no one can get to your coins, they want you to keep your recovery phrase on their exchange please don't do that, care less of their policy whether they save it or not, centralized exchanges are element of the same company that cannot be trusted. Your seed phrase or recovery phrase is intended for you and only you.

Some of the things you need to know:
1. Not your keys, it’s not your coins.
2. Don’t paste your recovery phrase on any exchange, I know very soon other exchanges will follow the same pattern which will result in the stealing of funds.
3. Do not rely on centralized exchanges/ leave your coins on centralized exchanges.
4. Don’t share your private keys with people
5. Back up your recovery phrase and make sure they are properly secured and safe from threats and thieves.

Then why would players pretend? huh  Ronaldo ran and celebrated the goal as if he had his head on that ball making me believe he was the one that actually scored the goal, I doubted it but it was shown that Ronaldo scored the goal not until I saw your quote and I was shocked, seems like today belong to Bruno Fernandez for having 2 goals, sadly today Penalty wasn't giving to penaldo but Fernandez may be due to the last controversy against Ghana. I risked it and paid to pick over 1.5, my prediction went as predicted.

Portugal has become the third team to accumulate 6 points, and they will undoubtedly qualify for the next round. I believe all first teams in all groups should be able to sleep comfortably until their next round 3 match.

KYC was never part of our life, it was implemented and forced on financial institutions to weed out laundering money but we all know that for every merit, there are one or two demerits, however, in the case of KYC, the Demerits outweighed the merits and if you start from the beginning of this thread, that is what most users has been discussing. We can do without KYC, it shouldn't be forced on people who don't want to, if the regulators fear that there will be some sort of criminalities in crypto casinos, it happens everywhere even with the banks.

KYC shouldn't be compulsory or a prerequisite to playing in Casino, they could at most make some limit to funds and may make it mandatory for players who wants to incase a player deposits money they suspected, if they lift these things, it will not only increase players, it increases revenues for casinos.

Ghana deserved a second chance after their result in Portugal, they tried their hardest but it was too late to equalize the last goal scored by Portugal and I love the way they converged that energy on Korea Republic though Korea really retaliated after the second half but Kudus was prepared not to let go of every chance ghana had and finished with 3-2 just the same manner Portugal did them in round 1

From the looks of things, Portugal will be lucky in the outcome against Uruguay, as Ronaldo just scored a goal with a great assist from Fernandes, and Portugal currently leads the field statistically. So far, the match has lasted 70 minutes, and I believe the score will be 2-0 because the ball distribution among Uruguay players is unsatisfactory.

Politics and Sport are two different things and that is what FIFA has always kick against, no racism, no religion and no favouritism but it seems the more they try to avoid this things, the more they occur which makes me to remember the speech made by Morgan Freeman in the World Cup ground opening. he asked the boy that "what bring us together today here is bigger than what divide us and how long could we make it last?'' and the Qatar boy recite some quran a reference that it is through respect and tolerance, this message was made to counter this kind of rumours and hate among us.

Football has unite us all irrespective of our religion, respect other people religions and culture, we can't attack them because of their culture and looking at their performance so far, they will  not be making it out in the group stage, just free Qatar and lets enjoy football for just this 1 month. 

If Offside were eliminated from football, every team would always have a chance to score. I was upset when Vinicous's goal was quashed, and I thought the game would end in a draw but, Casemiro scored his first Fifa goal of 2022, and that gave them automatic qualification in the next stage. Even if they lose their round 3 match, they will still progress. So far, they are the second team to accumulate 6 points after France, which makes me believe that France and Brazil will most likely face each other in the grand finals.


Switzerland played fairly I must confess but no hope is lost yet if they Win Serbia in the next match but we all know that Serbia would be a difficult team to eliminate in this tournament, Cameroon is also good but we all would agree that Brazil will finish them but even if they don't, Brazil has nothing to lose right now.

You brought to mind a tweet I saw today about phone numbers being sold on the dark web, which stresses the importance of personal documents and information. The majority of those phone numbers are associated with various people all over the world, so I couldn't help but wonder what bad actors could do with them.

Back to documents and KYC in casinos: a reputable casino would take all reasonable precautions to protect player data and funds, but let's be honest with ourselves: if you complete KYC at any casino and they decide to sell your information at some point, you will never know and you won't suspect them because you are accustomed to disclosing personal information to the public, we should learn to normalized No KYC.

Don't underestimate Germany, they are good without a doubt, but it appears that they are more politically motivated than what brings them to the field, they believe Japan is just an ordinary team that they can easily defeat. However, Japan created chances and took advantage of them when Doan was substituted, giving them an equal goal until Asano gave them more hope, which weakens Germany, nevertheless, hopes are not lost. Hopefully, they win Spain.


Japan was attacking, they converted all of their efforts in the offensive battle and failed to guard it at home, allowing Costa Rica to score in the last minutes, making it tough to equalize, if Costa Rica conceded 7 goals from Spain, it should have been a very simple match. What Germany plays today will affect the fate of all teams in Group E.

You must have bet/staked a lot of money for you to be this upset and angry, but that is the drawback of gambling. I must admit, I was shocked by the result of Argentina vs. Saudi Arabia. Many bettors had high hopes and faith that Argentina would finish that game admirably despite the short odds, but the bookmakers said not today. However, it doesn't change my stand for Argentina, Keep trying as you never know the day of celebration, but bet responsibly.

Bundesliga has already played 15 of its scheduled matches unlike the English Premier League, where there are still a few unfinished matches and the fact that Bayern Munich has reclaimed the first position makes it appear like nothing can unsettle them. Since Mane didn't travel to the world cup, he will have more time to recuperate than other important players who are now on the field. The champions league shouldn't be a problem for them, in my opinion.


Sometimes, it doesn't matter how huge the club is, it might be that they are missing a specific player that could translate their enthusiasm at the moment. If a team is dependent on a single striker and that player suffers an injury, the team has no choice but to add another player during the open transfer period.

Do you know what I hate about people and money that s not theirs? Entitlement! Don't feel entitled to people's money, if they win an amount and they give you a share, they did it for some reason, don't feel you have a part in people's life because you are with them as long as you didn't contribute ideas or some effort when they had nothing or in their struggling stage and even if you were there, if they don't give you a share, you have no right to feel entitled because you have no legal documents to supports your claim.

I believe everyone should learn to achieve wealth regardless of anybody's place in the family. It was his decision to remove the family from the calculations, either to protect them or to ensure they wouldn't feel they would want to quit their previous existence after he won a jackpot.
