That is never possible, if that is what would likely happen, the government would have felt the pressure and ban bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies if that would be the only way that they can protect their fiat. But people do not have that kind of mindset, cryptocurrencies are not having stable price and they are volatile, stable coins that are most reliable depend on fiat while many people will always have a reason to have fiat. Most businesses in the world are using fiat and they are growing, but I understand that keeping fiat in bank or holding it is just a way to make your wealth to be deplete in value.

You are very correct, bitcoin was not created to replace fiat but rather to serve as an alternative. Bitcoin to most people today is for investment purposes.

Just first know that it is not late to start. Did you know that less than 10% of the people in the world have yet invested in crypto, not even yet close to 10%. Also even if the adoption has been so much, the adoption will still continue.

You created this in the trading discussion, but you should know that trading can make things to go ugly for you. If you eventually go into crypto trading, you have to always keep in my that you should start with the amount of money that you can afford to lose. It would even be better if you use less than the amount you can afford to lose until you make profit from it for months. But my dvise is that you should just not trade but learn more about investment.

To start, learn about bitcoin, learn about bitcoin halving and how it is having effect on crypto prices. To not make things complicated for you, you can start with reading bitcoin for beginners, like this ones:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-for-beginners/amp

For news, you can check Cointelegraph or Coindesk for it. There are many other news sites. You can browser about it.
For price app, you can go for Coingecko which is better, or go for Coinmarketcap, but I will not recommend the later because Binance owned it. I will not recommend what is more centralized that Binance can manipulate for the progress of their exchange, Binance.

You should try and check the price of coins after bitcoin halves, first and second year after of bullish trend, which will follow third year of bearish trend, and fourth year of bullish and bearish trend.

Invest in bitcoin. But altcoins are more volatile and if they have fallen so much, you can gamble with good ones among them, going for the ones with high marketcap. But know that altcoins are not decentralized like bitcoin and their can be more manipulations.

It is as simple as if you win, gambling site will take the money from those that lost, and if you lose, the gambling site will take the money that you lost and use it to pay those that won. But the truth is that most gamblers lose than win, because of that, gambling site pocket the remaining and grow bigger and have enough to pay if anyone win big later in the future.

You need to think about this very well before you should conclude that Chelsea would win Leicester City. Come let us think about it, which club did Chelsea defeated last? It was Leeds United that is fighting not to get relegated. Leicester City is also not good in this season, but the match between Chelsea and Leeds was in Stamford Bridge which could have gave Chelsea more chance to win, but Chelsea hardly won because it has only just 1 goal scored by Wesley Fofana. This time around the match would be played at King Power Stadium, not at Chelsea's home, this would make it more difficult for Chelsea is what I could think. In this type of match, it is better to just go for no club to win among them both, I can never yet still have confidence in Chelsea because they are not playing as expected.

That is true, we all know the outcome of the match, even I was expecting that Liverpool can not win up to 3 goal margin, but it was 7 goals to nothing instead. What I was just saying is that Manchester United had good time too, it is not easy for a club to still have one awaiting match to play and yet maintain the third position. It was a big mistake for Manchester United, but they are not a fallen hero, that statement is not right, not right because the club are not on the relegation zone, the club did not relegate, and not that they are playing bad, but just that the club play bad just once for now.

Who the bank new it was crypto related transactions? Likely the person that you sold the coin to labelled the transaction to be for coin buying,, which it supposed not to be, you should have always warn the buyers not to label the transaction to be for crypto transaction.

My suggestion is for you to move out of the country until crypto become legal, or you should just continue a decentralized way to exchange it while telling the buyer not to include crypto payment or anything related in the transaction.

Some people can go to the extent of using the coin to first buy gift card and then sell the gift card for local currency in return.

There can be other ways like coins supported ewallets if your country supports some of them.

Manchester United is not a fallen hero because the club is not that it is relegating, it is still one of the clubs that would likely make it to next season's champion league. But what happened yesterday was a very big surprise for everyone, 7 goals to nothing was not expected.

 

This is going to be difficult for me to answer because I use to gamble before I withdraw, why would I send money to casino and just think to withdraw directly without gambling. That seem like stupid to me, why should I send the money in the first place.

Casinos may have minimum deposit amount but the amount is usually very small.

The casinos and other gambling sites that I have used in this forum do have $20 minimum withdrawal. That is not a problem for me.

But if you like to enjoy a casino, you can try livecasino.io

Do you think it is the last time that a coin (like Luna and FTT) would fall greatly to the extent someone's millions of dollars would become nothing again. It is not also the last time you will think a stable coin (like that pegged with dollar like UST) would fall out of peg and decreased more than expected. Which means even if anyone trust cryptocurrencies, there are still many bad days to come.

Some people may want to invest, but do not know the research to do to know the right coins and tokens. I have a brother that I did not know he has lost a lot because he invested in many fake (not even failed but fake) projects and he continued to lose. When I saw him after many years, he told me about it and how he can never invest in any coin or token again.

I will advice people, especially the newbies to just still trust in bitcoin.

@cafter, we all know that there is house hedge but we love gambling, if you think gambling site are cheating you and you do not want that again, you can stop gambling, but almost all people that re gambing know this and they just want to have fun while some people only just want to try their luck with just little amount of money.

This is wrong, but if someone take gambling as a job and not a promoter or having a gambling company, but depend on playing and earning income from the outcome of his gambling, these are just the type of people that you can see to be very rich today but become poor tomorrow. Gambling can not be a source of income, else debt and depression would be where it would lead the person to.

Using BTC/USDT futures, you can go up to 100x on exchanges like Kucoin, 125x leverage just like on OKX and Binance, you can even go up to 200x on exchanges like Huobi global. Advising people to go for high leverage is wrong because the liquidation risk is high. The last time I use 10x for bitcoin which I was even afraid of was when bitcoin decreased to $15500, when it increased to $16000 and seeing strong support at $15500, I opened 10x leverage at $16000. But right now when I do not know what would happen, going for 3x or less leverage is better. For scalpers and day trading, I will not also advice anyone to go more than 5x which is even too much for me, I always prefer 3x or less for bitcoin while 2x or no leverage for altcoins.

Manchester City is having 9 points ahead of United, but know that Manchester United is still a threat for Manchester City, people are most concentrating on Manchester City versus Arsenal about which club to win this season EPL, Manchester United is also not far from Manchester City. Manchester City won EPL last season and also in last two seasons, if the club wins again, it would be the third time, I prefer EPL to remain very competitive in every areas, that makes me to prefer Arsenal to win this season, but they are performing below expectations at times, also Manchester City do too. I thought Arsenal would lose this last match, but thanks for the comeback after 67th minutes, the match favoured them.

If it is not on this forum, I can not trust small site, I prefer going for the big ones that people are recommending others to join, this was common to me before I joined this forum, I only go for the best because I know the small or non well known casinos can displease customers or go away with customers money. But when I joined this forum, I can see some new casinos which started good and expecting to grow, many are trustworthy as long as they are active on this forum.

You do not need a billion dollars to start a casino even if you want to build the casino from the scratch, less than a million dollar should even be enough to start.

No everyone wants to build a casino, some people just like it and have fun with it. There are many millionaires in the world if compared to casinos, the casinos are few.

It depends on you, but not everyone wants to build a casino.

Lastly, you interchanged casino and sport betting, I hope you know that they are not the same, although a gambling site can have both.

What did you mean s 100%? If you mean to stake such match with high amount of money, sorry that I can not. If you mean that I should give 100% trust so that I can encourage others to stake on the match, no because I know the strong clubs can fuckup sometimes. If you check the clubs draw and lost matches, like Arsenal, no one expected that Everton would first win, though we know that the second match can not be the same, but the Everton which is among the clubs on the relegation zone first won Arsenal recently, such little mistake can take huge amount of money from gamblers. Although Manchester City has already won now and I have hope in Arsenal too today.

None than lightning network which is still enough to use with little amount of bitcoin. Ordinal transactions make the mempool to be a bit congested but not so congested yet, the onchain and lightning network is still sufficient enough as of now.

I prefer not to use leverage at all, but if you consider to use leverage, I think if you have $1000, 5x is enough and getting too high for bitcoin, that means you can trade with $5000 which is high enough to be used for good trade and the liquidation price is still not that close to the entry price. Even for most altcoins, I have noticed that 5x is too high, especially in a volatile market which can result to frequent liquidation, 2 to 2.5x leverage is enough for the altcoins. Going for up to 25x leverage is to high and liquidation is more likely.

It is really a low margin ratio that is used, but better than high margin with low amount of money. I understand your point though, you mean I can still increase the margin ratio a little to get a better profit, going 2x margin for bitcoin is not bad though. But we should know that the more the margin ratio that we use, the more the emotion can lead us the wrong way.

If you setup your own channel, there should be no fee. Assuming you have your own node and connect to another node to set up a channel, the transaction you will make on that channel should be free. Fee can vary, the lightning network node runners are the ones that set the fee. The more the hubs to route your transaction too, the higher the fee.
