Buying expensive sneakers is a thing in the African-American culture.I don't get it.I guess that bragging with your expensive sneakers(or bragging with luxurious stuff in general) is a really important part of the African-American culture.Some rapper is going to buy such sneakers.Rappers have lots of money and they aren't particularly smart(maybe most of them aren't).
The website looks ridiculous.I can't even read some of the titles,due to the absurd design of the letters.
Maybe this really is a joke.Putting a BTC node in sneakers simply doesn't seem serious.Or maybe it isn't a joke.
The world is full of dumb people,willing to spend lots of money for dumb shit.

I haven't heard anything about the crypto exchanges mentioned in your "black list"(except Coinbase and Kraken,of course).
Unfortunately,many small crypto exchanges would use the sanctions against Russia as a "justification" for them to scam and steal coins from a part of their customers.This is despicable and it must be punished.
Anyway,you are kinda wrong about the "the very essence of the cryptosphere".A crypto exchange is a private company,which has to obey to the laws and regulations of the country,in which it is located.
When the government officials ask the exchanges to block certain accounts,the exchanges can't say NO,so putting the blame on the crypto exchanges is stupid.
Every exchange has it's own Terms of service.When you register an account and deposit coins,this means that you agree to their Terms of Service.
"Not your keys,not your coins"

I have pretty much the same concerns as all the forum members,who tried this service before me:
1.I guess that the FBI has created this service,in order to gather more data about BTC addresses.However,I might be wrong.
2.There's no way to prove that they don't track you,so I would not use such service again.
3.I don't trust the accuracy of this tool.The final data might be a bunch of made up gibberish.
4.Who is going to use this tool?I guess that 99% of the Bitcoiners simply don't care about a BTC address being "dirty" or "clean".

I've never heard anything about this project.
This article seems like shilling about how wonderful and promising this project actually is.I usually don't trust such articles.The AVAX coin valuation at 21 billion USD seems pretty overrated,but I'm not surprised,since most newly launching tech platforms are pretty much overrated.This is more hype,rather than actual value.
Almost 250 active apps running over the Avalanche blockchain?Sounds impressive,but can anyone verify that this information is truthful?Can anyone provide a list of all the apps,that are running on the Avalanche blockchain?

Sounds like a good idea,but what would be the benefit for the sponsor?
Getting a bunch of new players,who will get free spins and free bets?
All the crypto casinos/sports betting websites want paying gamblers,not "freebie seekers".
Limiting the prediction pool participants to Germans only also seems kinda weird.There are many people,who aren't Germans,but they are interested in German football and are watching the Bundesliga.
I don't know anything about the gambling/sports betting regulations in Germany.Are people outside Germany allowed to signup and gamble on German casinos/sports betting platforms?Is there a mandatory KYC procedure?

Why are you so sure that those transactions are made by crypto whales?
It could have been the crypto exchanges moving their own funds to their cold wallets.
This is yet another clickbait article trying to come up with a silly theory just by looking at some random data.
I don't mind crypto exchange platforms having less Bitcoins/crypto.Sooner or later,the crypto markets will become more decentralized and crypto exchanges will become obsolete.Unfortunately,the majority of crypto users aren't mature enough to dump the centralized custodial crypto trading platforms,because those platforms are still really convenient and user friendly(at least most of them are).

You are right about the things mentioned in your post,but I don't agree that trading is 100% based on luck.
Nobody is saying that crypto trading can guarantee you profits.If somebody is saying this,he is a liar.
Nobody is saying that you have to follow only one strategy from the beginning,without any changes and without adapting to the new conditions and obstacles.
If crypto trading isn't for you,then stop complaining about it and don't waste your time writing such forum posts.Focus on something productive.
Crypto trading is gambling,if you treat it as gambling.Everything depends on your decisions and your perceptions.

What you are saying doesn't matter.What the so called "experts" and analysts are saying also doesn't matter.
The Bitcoin price isn't determined by people's opinions and wishes.We are living in interesting times,where uncertainty and fear are dominating the markets.Nobody knows what will happen next week or next month.Making long term plans and predictions for several years ahead seems really difficult.
The Bitcoin price is in a pretty good place right now.There is volatility,but we shouldn't get depressed every time the price makes a 5-10% drop.

Have you ever thought that the Bitcoin value goes up because the fiat value goes down.
In that case,fiat is Bitcoin's best friend. The Bitcoin value won't go up,if the fiat value doesn't decrease.
Who would even buy Bitcoins,if the fiat money preserved and increased their value?
With an "enemy" like fiat,we don't need friends.
CBDC will be the same as fiat,the technology behind CBDCs doesn't matter.They will be as a centralized and as inflationary as fiat paper money.This means that another fake enemy(actual friend) for Bitcoin would join the party.
Unfortunately,the Bitcoin price is too volatile,which scares many people away from BTC and stops the mass adoption of BTC.

Nope.I don't bet on newly launched casinos,because.
1.The risk of getting scammed is higher.
2.Making new accounts and placing bets on new casinos every week seems kinda pointless to me.
The idea of having 50-100 crypto casino accounts (and 99% of them will end up being dormant and not active) is kinda repulsive to me.I just hate having multiple dormant accounts.
I might signup,mess around with the dashboard and play for free(if there is such option) on a new casino (if the casino has a great design)but I don't want to bet money across multiple crypto casinos.

OP,you sound kinda butthurt.Did you get scammed or something?
Your post doesn't make any sense.


This doesn't make any sense.Bitcoin doesn't "generate value" by itself.The value of Bitcoin is determined by the mining costs and the supply/demand for Bitcoins.
Bitcoin gets more expensive,but it might get worthless some day.Yes,and so what.This applies to every financial asset around the world(maybe except gold).Do you think that Tesla,Amazon,Facebook,Apple stocks won't become worthless some day?Nothing lasts forever.
The "Bitcoin doesn't have instrinsic value" mantra that has been repeated by all the BTC haters have gotten completely meaningless at this point.Repeating the mantra one more time won't make it meaningful.

I've never really understood the business model of the crypto casinos,that have their own tokens.
They create and keep "mining" their own token,but they get actual cryptocurrencies in exchange for their token(not by trading it,but rather giving it away to the active gamblers).
The token is supposed to have some market value,but nobody is actually buying it,because such tokens aren't listed on crypto exchanges.Demand is what creates market value and there's no real demand for these casino tokens.This seems kinda weird to me.
Anyway,let's see how this "casino token" experiment will keep running in the upcoming years.

Nobody says that the Wikipedia team is stupid for abandoning BTC donations.
The guys and girls behind Wikipedia can do whatever they want,when it comes to using payment methods for accepting donations.Acting butthurt just because some website decided to dump crypto payments seems really immature.
How many of the Wikipedia users are young people,who are actively using cryptocurrencies?Not that much,if you ask me.I don't have valid statistical data,but I assume that more than 90% of the Wikipedia users are boomers,who wouldn't even touch Bitcoin with a ten meter stick.
And yes,the shitcoin/NFT investors are psychopaths.

Your online security is your own responsibility.
Nobody can come and save you,if you are dumb enough to get scammed online.
There's no anonymity in the fiat financial system and yet millions of people get scammed every day,their credit card data gets stolen and their fiat bank accounts get milked.The fiat financial system is even more regulated than the crypto industry and the amount of fiat scams is bigger than the crypto scams.
You can connect other applications to your Coinbase wallet AT YOUR OWN RISK.
The Coinbase team can do some monitoring on all applications that can be connected to Coinbase wallets,but they cannot act as your babysitter.
More regulations over the crypto industry won't reduce the number of scams.The main problem is the huge amount of gullible and naive people online,not the quality of the current crypto regulations.

Inflation is mostly caused by the controlled emission,so your statement seems kinda meaningless to me.
I agree that the main problem of the stablecoins is the "fractional reserve banking",which can potentially create value out of thin air.Nobody knows how big the Tether reserve actually is.This applies to all the other stablecoins as well.
The main purpose of stablecoins is not to act like a store of value,but to make cryptocurrency trading easier and more convenient.The stablecoins aren't competitors of Bitcoin and the big altcoins.They are supposed to be a supplement of the cryptocurrency trading ecosystem.

Are you talking about freemium games of actual gambling games?
Unfortunately all mobile and computer games are designed to be addictive.
I've heard many horror stories of children getting addicted to freemium games and using their mom's credit card to buy lots of in-game items.
There's no easy solution to this problem.I guess that the only solution would be not buying a smartphone for your children.You simply can't control what they are downloading and installing on their phone.
If you forbid them to install certain games,that might actually have the opposite effect.
"The forbidden fruit is the sweetest."

Why do you have to compare Bitcoin to all altcoins?Bitcoin should be compared to every altcoin in particular,not all altcoins simultaneously.
An altcoin will become "independent" from Bitcoin when it gets enough trust and authority and there are enough people,who are willing to HODL this altcoin in times of a bear market.
For instance,when the market does down,a hardcore Bitcoiner says to himself "I'm just gonna HODL my Bitcoins,the price will eventually hit another ATH".
But when the market goes down,an altcoin trader says to himself "Things are going bad,so I have to sell my altcoins ASAP,because their price might hit the absolute bottom"
That's why the altcoins don't carry the same weight as Bitcoin Core.

AFAIK,eToro has an affiliate program and the eToro trading platform supports copy trading and crypto trading.
The first deposit comissions are of this program are really good.You could get between 50 and 250 USD per converting customer.
Is this the affiliate program you had in mind?
Many CPA networks support multiple crypto trading and FOREX trading offers with very high commissions.
I'm not sure how legit those offers actually are,there are lots of scams being promoted on the big CPA networks.
You could check for crypto/FOREX CPA offers on platforms like affpaying.com.

You are describing a bunch of online scam methods.Those scams have nothing to do with legit escrow services.
I human escrow/middleman must be really trusted and reputable.He must provide valid proof about his positive online reputation.You can't just hire some random guy to be your escrow.You and the guy on the other side of the transaction might get scammed by such middleman.
I thought that you are talking about websites providing escrow service.
I've been using Localbitcoins for around 5-6 years and I've never had any problem with their escrow service.

 

The Americans eat lots of junk food and don't they don't have a healthy lifestyle.
USA has the most obese nation in the world.
The US healthcare system is shit.Many poor people don't have any access to healthcare in the USA.
Many people in the USA refused to get vaccinated and to wear masks during the pandemic.
What else would you expect from all these factors?
Bitcoin/crypto has nothing to do with the US healthcare system and the people's lifestyle.
There's no way Bitcoin could help for increasing the life expectancy in the USA or anywhere else in the world.
