That's right. If it's for us, we know what we like and that's why regulation must also be regulated. But long time ago and before all of these issues, we wanted the government intervention at least. Because we know that it will drive the price of bitcoin which is really true and became a reality. But then, we saw how it's making things not really interesting anymore and with all of the banking collapses. Then, they should look for some other things to be regulated first and take that action before intervening with the crypto market because it doesn't sound good that the regulated ones are collapsing while they're wanting to take action for the unregulated and decentralized market that's doing good. Anyway, it's all where the money is going and they know that it's in here, on this market, bitcoin and the entirety of crypto market.

Yeah, it's not the entire market that needs regulations but those centralized exchanges and services that can be said to be at their control. These banking system are nowhere to go and that's why they're looking for ways to bail out and to tell people that they're doing good even if it's visible in our naked eyes on what's actually is happening on them. Together with the government, they're helping each other trying to regulate crypto but in reality, they should be the one that must be monitored because of the scenarios and events that has shown to the world on how corrupt they are.

It's really the best advice to keep that we have to secure our funds or crypto assets through keeping it with a hardware wallet. The security of it is way better than those wallets that we've been introduced like the web wallets which is common for beginners.
I've got a couple of friends that have been into bitcoin investing and all of them started to expand their investments and portfolio through buying different altcoins. I've already told them my thoughts about it and there's nothing wrong with it as long as they will not forget that they all started out with bitcoin and all the crypto in the market are moving because of it, so, they shouldn't just leave it. And as they invest, they have to make sure that it won't be painful to them with the money they allocate into their altcoin investment expansions.

This is a great list and very reminder not just to newbies but to everyone. I'd like to add about panicking. Like when something goes wrong and there's an investor who's panicking because he wants to transfer his assets quickly and exchange it on swap websites just like this guy[1].
The importance of having a 2FA is making your accounts and funds secure and making sure that you know where you're registering your information because there have been cases about sim swap[2] that has been a popular case since a few years ago.

Those that have background in development. It's more in demand because whenever I look and try to job search for crypto related jobs, what I am seeing more are the blockchain developers. And whenever there's a statistics shown about what are the current in demand jobs, it's always there. That's why those that have programming backgrounds are at edge to jump off with this industry and those that have the idea about the entire market of crypto and its tech which is blockchain, it's not only limited to blockchain development but also about project management, support and community roles and many more but you just have to plus it with a background and knowledge about crypto.

LiveCasino.io signature campaign has announced that they're now full - CFNP based on its thread's title.

Well, that's for sure and that's why those honest business people that are into this industry have come through thick and thin until they've reached their destination of being successful.

Yeah, let's just do our thing and enjoy what's in front of us as we gamble. While them, if they've got some dark secrets, let them uncover it and if they'll keep on doing it, it's up to them since it's their business and we just only mind ours.

Those were the companies that have issues in the past. And I think their service is about claiming any of the funds remaining there. I'm not sure about that though but I wouldn't call it an exchange if they're offering that type of service. Here are those companies that are on the top of that image and I just stopped there.

• The Collapse of FTX: What Went Wrong with the Crypto Exchange?
• TECH:Crypto lender Genesis files for bankruptcy in latest blow to Barry Silbert’s DCG empire
• Crypto lender Celsius misused customer funds for years, examiner finds
• Crypto lender BlockFi files for bankruptcy, cites FTX exposure
• SEC Questions Binance.US’s Deal for Assets of Bankrupt Crypto Lender Voyager

I think I've seen a service like this in the US that they help people with their claims but is it really possible to happen with those companies that have already filed for bankruptcy? See, it's not really an exchange service. Therefore, I agree with the title, a comedic service.

One can start investing in bitcoin but not with real estate. You can DCA in bitcoin but not with real estate. That's why for newbies, it's friendly if they start with bitcoin and then if they've managed to have their capital increase and they think that they can now start with real estate, that's so much better. We all want the best investments in our lives, one that can set us in our lives forever and then will generate passive income.
People that have less tolerance in risk, they can save money for so long and then start buying their first real estate investment. That's the strategy for them, there's a lot of difference from buying bitcoin or getting started with crypto.

You mean like in gambling it's a dark secret that there are losers and winners? I have idea about the other dark secrets that do happen in physical casinos where you'll just get to see it there once you're already there. And it's funny that these days, these videos on socials have been popping on my feed and showing those dark secrets which are no longer secret anymore as it becomes a norm. Well, that's it, it could be dark secrets for the new ones that have just found it out but it's not actually hidden thing these days.

With that kind of story, I have that quick coming up that type of exchange is a scam. No exchange will give you $100 for free and then will ask you to deposit because that's the actual there. And it has happened for so many times when newbies have asked in the past how they're going to get that free money. But the reality, is that they won't get it. Once you deposit on that exchange, they'll have another questionable requirement to you and might ask for another deposit. It's a loop that you'll never like unless you're the owner of this website and you're shilling it here. And with the whois information given, this is the type of exchanges or websites that I mostly avoid.

Just like everyone else, I'm just happy that I have survived this pandemic together with my family but heart goes to those that have lost their loved ones because of this virus.

Good for you and this pandemic have made a lot of jobs turn into remote and that had made the demands quite high. This pandemic has left me with a lot of uncertainties of having what ifs on my mind. What if there's another pandemic that's about to happen soon and it's gonna more brutal than the recent one. It has left a lot of thinking and uncertainties to many people and also, it has made a lot of us depressed because of the situation that everyone has went in. Just as what OP has expressed, many experienced hunger and it has took a lot of lives for which this isn't only happening on this covid trend but even before it.

There have been threads that have been posted on this the same section telling good things and promoting your casino. I'm not sure if there's some promo and giveaway that's currently happening there that requires to post a thread in the forum. But these threads if there will be more in the nearest future might just be deleted or locked upon being reported and if you've got a community inside your casino or sort of a telegram group, it's better to tell them that there's no need to make new threads and just stick on this thread of yours which is the official one.
These are the threads:

It was reported on different crypto news publishers that localbitcoins.com have already announced their closure on February 16, 2023 and onwards will be the time for those users that still have got funds left to withdraw.

You can easily google them and the name that will appear is different from what you've mentioned and that was said by dansus. I think that you've landed on a wrong domain and website and that's like a phishing and copycat of localbitcoins.

For more info visit their service closure announcement through their official website: https://localbitcoins.com/service_closure/

Before, it wasn't like that. Whenever there's some news about economy related topics that were definitely bad news, it doesn't affect bitcoin a lot. But the dynamic changes, market changes and fundamentals have been greatly increasing for bitcoin. So, having this question play on your mind isn't really dumb at all. We're all wanting to know why it's like that and you'll get various possible good answers from here. Since there have been a lot of change in the market, adoption have increased and that's why having this question is also the same like thinking why every economic news affects the global markets. Let's think that, all investors and traders do follow the news because it is the market mover every time there will be a news release coming from FED or any bank that's in closure or collapse or anything related to them.

Long term? Easy, yes. But if your span of period for that price is for this year then it may take time and it's 50/50 of chance to happen. Do remember that halving is about to happen next year and that will trigger the demand and lesser supply for the rewards of miners, in short the impact will go directly to the price assumingly will create a positive impact.

Sell if you need the cash, do not regret selling if there's an important thing you're about to purchase or bills to pay. You don't have to sell all of it and just take a part of portion from your holdings. And if you've got other source of income, upon selling, create a plan that you'll buy those sold bitcoin of yours and do the DCA technique for you not to miss out the next bull run.

Thank you Royse777 for selecting me, a pleasure to work again with you and with sherbet. I've set up everything and done.

Sherbet signature campaign is back.

I wonder if that guy has other victims too that don't speak up because they may think that the amount was just a tolerable amount that have been scammed to them. OP, although we can no longer get what's taken from you unless that guy voluntarily returns it to you.
Follow the tips that were given to you by SFR and also, when you're dealing with someone that doesn't have a reputation in the forum, just follow the advise of hiring an escrow. The fee won't be a lot for your safety and also the sellers safety. If you encounter someone again in the future that don't agree to take one and none of you willing to send first, then that's a red flag and both of you are thinking the same. That's why always end up in choosing an escrow.
