Bitget is not a new exchange, the exchange was created in 2018. It has a trading volume of more than $8 billion. It is ranked 21st exchange in the world, which means it is one of the leading exchange in the world.

Likely your friend is an addict that have spent huge amount of money on gambling, the best would be to just channel huge amount of money on something else. If he is feeling tempted and not able to use small amount on gambling, he should leave gambling for many months without visiting any gambling site or place, he should focus on business.

Manchester United tried until they were flawlessly beaten by Liverpool in their last match which makes many people to lose and makes the club not to deserve any praise for now, although we know that the club tried recently, but they showed how disappointed they can make their fans be. 7 goals to nothing with just 8 shots on target is not easy and shows how bad Liverpool team are in that match. Even if Manchester United deserves praise, not this time.

The match has started already, with what Liverpool has proven already, I am expecting Liverpool to win this match, it is 3 shots on target already while Liverpool is pressuring Bournemouth as we are expecting, only goals is what that remain that we are expecting right now.

Both are good and can be profitable but the risks of both are high and the loss can be very similar to gambling. You can choose any that you like but know that both are risky. I have been into crypto trading for years and I know someone that have been into forex for a long time too, just that you need to read very well about how to trade. But as for me I prefer crypto trading while forex traders will choose forex.

These is very important to take note of:

• use the money that is lower than the amount you can afford to lose to start
• use the money that you can afford to lose to trade when you have known about trading already

Inter missed a penalty at the beginning of the match, I think around 14 minutes to the beginning of the match, but we know that even the best player can miss a penalty, penalty may not favour at times. To score a penalty on betting sites can have 1.2 to 1.3 odds, which means there is still many chance that the player can lose the penalty. That was not a disappointment in my opinion.

If you check the Inter versus Spezia match or if you watch it, you will notice that Inter tried, but the match was away match for them and Spezia was only just lucky to win. Know that the underdog may have the chance and win at times.

I too will expect Napoli to win, but the club big margin point different against other clubs is another thing to consider. Everyone also expected Napoli to win Lazio, but otherwise was the result, again Atalanta is another good club, although it is Napoli home.

That is just it, people should gamble for fun. What I know is that anyone that gambles more frequently is likely to lose more than he thought he would win. I have tried all strategies before, but what I finally realized was that you can not win the gambling sites, they have house edge which makes small, medium and big odds to favour them ( I mean the gambling site). People that are gambling should not see gambling as a money making means but I do not know how this should often be repeated to some people and yet coming up with a way to make money from gambling which may later only lead to remorse.

It's not today's news, it was 2 days ago news, there was even a related discussion about it on this forum a day ago.

This is not the first time, but know that those centralized platforms are causing the attack. What is centralized can be controlled, the more decentralized things are, the lesser the control can be.

Did you check the market ever since that has been reported? The market have crashed very well to the extent that bitcoin dumped below $20000. Bitcoin is even still better, altcoins dumped most and massively.

That won't be a problem and I do not see it as a downfall for Kucoin, US do not accept foreign exchanges, Kucoin should stop doing that.

But we all know that regulators and government in general does not care, all what they care about is how to collect tax. The truth is gambling is under-regulated.

If someone is addicted and suffered losses already, if the person go for rehab or his family take him to a rehab center, it is very likely that the person will later stop gambling because they will expose him to the truth for him to realize. Willingness may not come sometimes until certain things are done.

If there is such service, do not be surprised if it would not backfire on gambling sites because gambling is just in nature of humans.

There are some gambling sites that have articles that can help gamblers, notifying them when to stop gamble, they do notify gamblers in their gambling site. But I do not know if some gamblers that are getting addicted are reading it or not.

Also is self-exclusion.

But the best help a gambler can get is to self-discipline himself and know the truth that he can not gamble to make money, and to realize how greedy he is becoming to earn from gamblers sites. Also if family member noticed, self-exclusion and rehabilitation is indeed necessary.

But you should also know that all areas of life can be used to launder money. If you are a very rich man, you can launder money. Did you know that many rich people in this world, some of them are full of good activities in the public but full of criminal activities in the dark that no one may know except people like him. It is good to regulate gambling, that is true, but all businesses can be used to launder money.

Everything about WWE is scripted since I know about them, the matches look fake to me at times and it is not what I can go for. I will prefer to for boxing instead which is real. I can never bet on wresting like WWE.

For the real life matches in sport, we have so many options that we can just go for instead of the wrestling that is only meant for entertainment, not for betting for me when I have real life ones that can even take away my whole day if I want it to be like that.

I do not think that is totally true, you can see many centralized exchanges that do not require anything more than email and password to trade, although some can demand for KYC, but what about those decentralized exchanges that you can also be used to trade. I have seen it on pancakeswqp that you can even do future trading which only what you need to do is to send coins to your noncustodial wallet and connect the noncustodial wallet to the decentralized exchange, using the coin on your noncustodial wallet to trade without any identity needed and the control is totally yours.

To me it is not a good advice for children to trade, but you can start teaching them the basics and what that is required and how risky it is with real life past events of people that have lost huge amount of money to trading. What I just meant in my first post is not about age of 10, 11, 12 which are very small, even 14 is still very small, but just that a friend is asking a friend about how to trade, if he continues to discourage him and he persistently want to know how to trade, there is nothing bad to teach him, but letting him to know the wrong side of trading and how it can turn a rich man to a poor person. As a friend, I can teach, and as a father, uncle or brother, I can teach but not in a way to let the child trade, but as a step to what he many know in the future.

Two big clubs are playing, one between them must loss because it is no more a group stage.

Bayern won in away match, you know what that means, for a club that are not that visiting your club to win you at your own home, that alone will make people to think that PSG is not having any chance again, but because of Mbappe, people thought things would turn around to favour PSG, Bayern just prove to them that it is not good for a club to lose the chance of home win in Champions League.

It is not a shame on PSG, one club must lose, they are both big clubs but Bayern proved to be better.

You want to get bonus or any other promotional offer but you do not want to register on the casino? How can that be possible? Gambling sites are using promotional offers to advertise their sites and the kind of service they are providing. If after you have known about the promo and you just want to get offer without registering on the site, that is not possible, you have to register before you will be able to get any promotional offer, also knowing they you have to read the casino's terms and conditions.

Sim authentication is the worst that we know of. The best are 2FA and password, but I have only noticed password (that users can set) on Kucoin, but maybe probably on Binance which I have not set before which was adviced while making fiat transaction on Binance. These are the two best that exchanges need to let users know and enabling the two is perfect. You are not wrong, there should be something like a disturbance notification which can make people to set 2FA instead, but most exchanges are not doing that. But I am always surprised that people can be comfortable without 2FA setup, as for me, I can not be comfortable unless I set it, even as I have only trading funds on the exchanges.

I accept this because you are also right, I am still also wondering that people that are not traders are leaving money on exchanges, this is where I saw the report but which is a survey though:

https://cointelegraph.com/news/89-still-trust-centralized-custodians-despite-2022-s-collapses-survey

What I have noticed is that people can never learn or change, or maybe they do not know the right thing to do by not knowing how not secure exchanges are and how they do not have control over their assets, that exchanges are the ones that have the control and doing it on their behalf.

There are many media that gambling ads are passed to people, in my locality, when I click on YouTube comedy videos, you will see the comedians advertising gambling sites, which means probably they are paid to do so or they use the opportunity to tell people to use their promo code to register and get 100% instant bonus. Anytime you watch on such videos, there is no way you will not be exposed to that kind of advertisements, unless the government of the country warns people not to advertise gambling companies that way.

Another one are on TV channels. Like 5 years ago, I was annoyed to see the most known gambling site on many TV channels advertising the gambling site. Not only that, also that the most popular reality show in my country is also advertising the gambling site. I do not know what you can do about that, but for children, you can use parental care so that your children will not be able to watch such channels as it would require pin which you will not tell them.

As for the gambling sites that do pop up while browser, you can use ublock origin to block it. There are many browsers with built-in ad blockers today too. Only what you just have to do is to block ads which is also good against malware and many types of scam.

Even on this sites, if you are an addict and going through self-exclusion and rehabilitation program, you can at that time disable ads and signature campaign ads on this forum as well.

Sim swap attack is not new but people are still getting scammed because of it. See Jared Ferguson that filed a lawsuit against Coinbase, likely he can not win. Coinbase encourage their customers to use 2FA app.


This type of scam has happened several times without number but still people are just adamant until they are attacked. 2FA apps are free applications.


Even if many Coinbase and other platform users read this, they will not be bothered by it. You can see a report recently that said that over 89% of US are using centralized platforms like banks and exchanges for their crypto holdings? People are people, they do not want to learn until they are scammed, or their account or wallet is hacked.

If you are not trading, get your coins out of exchanges and other centralized platforms, use a noncustodial wallet that you have control over and be careful of scammers and other attackers, be careful of malware. But if you are a crypto trader, secure the money you have on the exchange or other centralized platforms with 2FA app, the 2FA app should be on another device.

You know how risky that is, it is very risky.  Are the trading site accepting under 18 years? Including those like Kucoin that do not require KYC? I have not checked that out before to know if under 18 people can use those centralized exchanges, but there are decentralized option too.

Do not encourage him, but if he continues to seek for your help, first start with all the disadvantages of trading, there are real life cases of people that have lost millions to trading and regretted about it, you need to show him all these to let him know where to start and what to avoid.

After he knows about that, you can teach him, I know risk management is another topic you will teach him to let him know how to manage his risk and about what to avoid financially also.

Since I have been placing bet on my own, I have not made this mistake before, probably because I am sensitive to anything related to money and I do not use it as a joke but I am serious with it. It is a mistake some gamblers can make, but one lesson like yours will teach them a lesson not to repeat the mistake. Sorry for the loss, continue to post good and get payment again. Gamble responsibly.
