Nobody can guarantee you this. It's not as easy as it was when the policy on US residents using the platform was implemented. Correct me if I'm wrong but US residents were banned from using Binance.com in 2019. That's several years ago. Where was the owner of this account all these years? To the platform, this is probably a suspicious activity and might trigger some security alarms.

I second OmegaStarScream's suggestion to contact Binance directly and provide justification not just as to why the delayed move from Binance.com to Binance.us but also the delayed compulsory KYC.

I think PayPal users are now allowed to withdraw their crypto to their personal wallets.

Somebody could please confirm this, but I think the announcement mentioned above was about PayPal already adding the feature that allows users to withdraw their cryptocurrency to other wallets. So that must be on-chain transactions that are allowed.

In their site's FAQ, it is also indicated that the option to transfer cryptocurrency out of PayPal is available.

I don't think there is a single pattern for all of them. But what I'm almost sure of is that casino and other gambling platform owners must love gambling or betting in one way or another. They won't choose to get involved, risk a big amount of money, dedicate time, effort, focus, and energy on a business they don't love. They must be gamblers also, but probably more businessmen than gamblers. So rather than spending too much time gambling, I suppose they are busier with business-related things.

I suppose they also gamble in other casinos at times, probably to experience what other casinos have to offer, get ideas on how to develop their casinos more, and so on.

I believe so. As a matter of fact, if we buy Bitcoin today and intend to hodl it for the longest term possible, the most that will benefit from it will be our children and our children's children. And it's particularly timely to buy now when the price of Bitcoin is still low. It's not a matter of if but when that Bitcoin will reach $100,000 and even more. 1 Bitcoin today is still relatively affordable. Time will probably come you cannot buy it even with your entire life savings.

I don't know if I understand correctly what you're saying, but apparently cryptocurrency is not in any way a solution to climate change. Neither is it a solution to food shortages. There may be indirect ways in which cryptocurrency, especially the blockchain technology that it uses, could be of help to somehow address food shortages and even climate change, but it is not what it's made for.

While Bitcoin mining, for example, could reduce methane flaring by making use of excess supply that is otherwise burned and, therefore, saves the environment from additional harm, Bitcoin is not created to address global warming. It is a currency. 

I doubt the reason for those people not taking the bet is that they don't know math. That's too much of a leap. It seems obvious all those people perfectly understand that their $10-bet versus another person's $20-bet is advantageous on their side. They just don't want it.

Factors like they're not in the mood to be betting against a stranger in the streets, they're on camera, they're feeling awkward, they're conscious, and so on are involved in this social experiment. There are so many external factors involved. The environment and circumstances are not really conducive for people to be thinking of winning a bet.

If in those same streets that same vlogger would call out strangers and say, "hey, come on, take my $20; it's all yours," I guess a number of people still won't have it.

My hunch is that if a psychological test is done on Craig Wright, the diagnosis is that he's got some mental problems.

He's been running after core developers for years, giving them a hard time, disrupting their normal lives, even giving them financial troubles. And probably for no other reason but sheer bitterness.

But his reputation is already destroyed. He's been losing cases one after another. Nobody believes him anymore. He's not even worthy of anything now, not even the benefit of the doubt.

Gambling is not really subjective so you'd expect that the AI will provide you some general definition. ChatGPT's response is not different from the standard definition of gambling you can easily find in dictionaries.

So the interesting part here is how ChatGPT adjusts its definition a bit to suit the age provided. It's amusing how it uses the keyword "toys" when asked to define gambling to a 5-year old, or "rolling dice" or "flipping a coin" in lieu of blackjack and roulette and lotteries it mentioned in the definitions for older ages.

We can also notice how it includes laws and regulations in the definition as the age indicated belongs to adults.

It doesn't sound so great to me that religious leaders will preach Bitcoin to the believers with the presumption that whatever these leaders say, their followers will blindly comply. In itself, it doesn't sound nice already. It seems the way they get into Bitcoin is antithetic to Bitcoin's philosophy.

Not to mention that these leaders are basically spiritual authorities, probably not well-equipped to make sure the believers know and understand all the implications, especially security matters, regarding Bitcoin.

Dubai from the outside has its distinct beauty, but it's not without some rotten parts inside. But that's like every other country. It's just that Dubai is still stricter in terms of certain laws.

Is there even a casino in Dubai? I'm afraid none. And you won't be served even a bottle of beer in many restaurants. The city, not a country by the way, is Islamic. You have to observe some religious traditions and policies.

If I were a rich man trying to enjoy my money, Dubai wouldn't be the place to be. But it must be conducive for business. Again, however, the city is not without undercompensated workers, especially foreign ones, human rights violations, among others.

There's no one. This is a forum, not a tutorial site. But you could, of course, follow certain users who are apparently more knowledgeable than the rest. It also depends on the specific areas like the ones that you mentioned. In general, off the top of my head, I could name the likes of o_e_l_e_o, pooya87, NeuroticFish, among many others from whom you could learn a lot.

As to the forum rules and regulations, you will have to read them. Some you will eventually learn or observe as you explore the forum. Some you might learn after your thread or post gets deleted, merged, moved, locked, and so on. Just don't commit grave mistakes like plagiarism, for example. It could get you banned.

Welcome!

You're probably right. In real life, however, it's more interesting. I have an uncle who died with much money. He was thrifty. He normally bought used clothes only. I guess he was a bit paranoid so he saved a lot for whatever extreme may come, probably health issues and costly hospital bills when he gets old. On his deathbed, ill, he told me he'll be recovering soon because he has yet to go to the Holy Land. That was apparently on his bucket list. He never made it there. He left more than $20,000 in his bank accounts.

It made me think, what if he lived to the fullest, spending all his money down to the last penny, and died penniless but satisfied? Would it have been better?


Such an unfortunate yet common scenario here in my country. I don't know if this has something to do with human nature or something cultural.


I appreciate your view. I love the idea.

My observation here is that this is usually the case with the people who are daily wage earners or those who are living with side hustles only. Near my place is a slum. Some of the people who live there are my friends. I noticed that they are also the people who don't think twice of spending whatever money they have. I can even go as far as saying they normally have better food on the table than those with permanent jobs. I'm even awed at their ability to disregard what you call the "illusion of comfort and safety." They're not afraid to go broke. I guess it's not a risk for them. They're living their lives day by day. Having no money simply means they need to look for some work.


This looks bad to me. I don't agree, and I don't encourage this. USDT is more unreliable than gold and money kept in banks.

There are also a lot of those kinds of people here in my country. I guess they get so much fun from gambling that they somehow prioritize it over basic needs. It's basically childish to do that. It's bad. It's irresponsible.

These people in my locality who always complain about how prices have already risen so high, how they don't even use onions anymore, how the government seems to neglect its people, are the same people who pay $10 just to enter a cockpit arena.

There must be a deeper and more interesting explanation for this behavior but I guess it's basically about character.

I guess I have no more confessions to make. I must have shared all of my experiences at some points. I have already shared that I was initially attracted to Bitcoin because of its promising returns. I have also shared that I have also fallen victim to a Ponzi scam. I also made a post about how Bitcoin didn't really interest me the first time I heard of it. I also admitted that while I have been with Bitcoin for years, there's so much about it that I don't really understand until now.

I stumbled upon this interesting tweet days ago.

Many of the comments are equally interesting. They apply the idea to all kinds of things including the game Resident Evil. And then I thought perhaps this is also true in the economic aspect of life. Perhaps this aptly applies to those whose economic lives are like the desert and whose little money they have they keep tightly for the hardest of days.

When I was studying in the university far from family and relatives or even family friends, I had a difficult time. Money is extremely scarce. Early mornings are usually for hot drinks-- coffee, chocolate, milk, tea, or whatever. I realized that what made those drinks important is that they are hot. So I learned to drink only a hot cup of water which I could easily ask for free from the eatery in front of where I stayed.

Come meal time, I would also request that the serving be made in half. That's to save money. But I had the money. I always made sure I have some. Emergencies and unforeseen expenses may arise anytime. So I need to have money all the time, but I won't touch it. Ironically, it also gave me hunger, inconvenience, discomfort at times.

My story is rather uninteresting, but let me know yours. Does this idea also apply to you? You could have the money to buy a new car to replace your old and broken one but you prefer not to touch it. Do you hold yourself from spending what you have to the point of depriving yourself of what you deserve? Do you keep significant savings for occasions that might only happen in your imagination? Or at what point would you allow yourself to be drained of your last penny?

Somebody might, you know. I think some campaign managers don't only manage signature campaigns. There are many other campaigns offered here. If I'm not mistaken, in addition to signature campaigns, there are also various social media campaigns, even video making campaigns, article campaigns, translations, and some others. Not to mention that managers here don't only handle a single project. So there's a possibility that some of them need assistants.

But, again, an ad misericordiam approach doesn't work. OP has to present not only what he/she can do but what he/she has already done in this kind of work.

Uh-uh, even this is easier said than done. According to Coingecko, the ATH is $69,044.77. Does it mean to say that by the time Bitcoin's price reached $69,050.00, it's already selling time? I don't think so. So when is selling time? $70,000, $80,000, $100,000? We cannot tell. But if you're good enough that you've already made profit, then selling beyond the ATH is good. But don't fret if months after selling, the price continued to rise 20% or more.

You have to take note that the halving's full effect on Bitcoin's price happens at least a year from the halving itself. And the growth is considerable you wouldn't want to miss it. The peak of the growth every after halving is significantly higher than its halving price. So a new ATH is probably a low selling point.

Many bettors here in my neighborhood either don't check online odds or they don't know about it or they don't care at all. I guess they find it too much of a hassle for them. They're too used to betting on the streets. Even in basketball handicaps, for example, they make fun of that points with +/-0.5. They don't understand that. They find it ridiculous. Normally, the odds would be straight 2.0. You will bet $50, for example, to match another $50 bet. If there's a handicap, the + or - would always be whole numbers and the odds would remain 2.0.

Yes, he/she probably would have been ruined if he chose FTX alone. But that's not the point. OP asked for exchanges where he/she could make trading positions and distribute his/her coins. Which exchange would you have recommended him/her? Would it have been valid to recommend him/her YoBit because YoBit until now is still alive and kicking? Would have it been valid to recommend him/her Graviex, for example, which is unknown, has lower volume, less trusted, and so on?

Common sense would have it that you would recommend him/her the largest, most popular, most trusted, most solid, most established exchanges out there. Those who have the largest volumes.

But this is the problem with these kinds of exchanges. You cannot take away risks however large and popular they are.

This seems interesting. But if you will bring users from this forum to comment on your blog instead of here, then I guess it won't be that effective. Let's be frank, many of the comments here are paid. And while it is always interesting to join discussions about the sport you love and gamble on, I doubt most users here would be this active if they are not paid to make posts.

How about you make use of the current thread by tokeweed to keep track of the prediction rates of users here?
