China is just trying to make it as illegal as it gets for crypto users in their nation, but they do not realize that they are hurting themselves . I am very very glad that a huge dictatorship in the world is now losing a ton of money to other nations. People all around the world are making money hand over fist but at the end of the day Chinese people will not be that and since we know that Chinese people do not have anything proper and it is owned by the CCP then it means that we are doing fine for now with them not making any profit at all.

It is not something simple, it takes time but at the end of the day if we could just make them weaker and poor again, it would destroy the power CCP has.

I would say that people are worried about the wrong thing right now. We should not be worried that bitcoin dropped, we should be worried that bitcoin is not getting the attention it used to get, that hype during bull run was something special, people were talking about it every day, we had twitter TT nearly half covered in crypto related stuff in my nation.

So, all in all if the price is falling that means we are doing that not only because people are selling but also because people are not buying enough. If bitcoin loses the interest of investors then it gets harder to get them back, not impossible, but those 2017 investors got cold feet in 2018 and took us 2 years to get them back, so we should be careful about making them lose interest.

There are certain reasons that any casino can block any users account if they see problematic. Of course this is not just willy nilly, if it was like that then nobody would play here ever. However if the gambler did something that is against the rules, then of course they will block the account. What the "loophole" seems to look like is that you wagered on a game with a known result, that seems like what they are implying, and in that case the bet gets void and your account gets blocked for trying to do loopholes which is dangerous for casinos.

If they only give you the money back, then how could they make all the other scammers afraid? So, what they do is they block your account but do not touch your money neither, it is saved aside, and if you really strongly believe that you were right, you could always sue them, if you do not sue them then you sort of agree that you were wrong.

Signature campaigns could be something that you do as a way to repeating what people already know, but to keep it fresh at the same time. How? Well, we have talked about this many times on this forum before, but there are biiiiig companies like apple that still does marketing and advertisements.

Think of signature campaign like that, you need to keep doing it to keep reminding people that you exist, but you do not expect a good return just because of that neither, you expect a not a big drop because of it. Why? Because other places will keep on doing signature campaign and will try to steal customers away from you, if you do signature campaign yourself then you will not keep on getting more and more customers (maybe only at first) but you will also not lose to other casinos who does campaigns at all times. So, it is a way to keep your customers, not get more customers, at least it is like that after you are already known and big like futuur.

It wasn't as much as it was the B team, but it was even the A team that were in just didn't care and didn't try to win. That makes the biggest difference. You could put a youth team that works at 100% rate and giving them all, throwing themselves at tackles, shooting with all they got, hard marking, running twice as much, less fatigue and all that versus a team of superstars who just plays with 50% and doesn't even care and you can be sure that youth team will win.

The difference between some 16-18 year olds versus the stars these teams have is the fact that stars have to play with all they got at important matches as well, even Ronaldo would suddenly become a very bad player if he played with 50% every game. This west ham game was the proof of that, they had some good A team players that just didn't want to play at all and this was the result they got.

Rain during a race or wet track during a race is not a problem, FIA couldn't comprehend that we would be fine with postponing the race to some other time, like maybe last week when we had nothing, that was the problem. If there can't be a race, then do not have a race, it is not a problem! Why was it so hard for them to understand this? Belgium was a disaster just because FIA made it a disaster, and they were keep repeating "we didn't want to risk drivers, we are not backing down our decision, driver safety is first" like anyone said we should had a race during that weather. NOBODY SAID THAT, but FIA replied like that was intender. Just postpone.

I do not know how weather will be at Sochi, how the track will be, if they can have a race, even if it is a horrible race, just let them have a race, if they can't, then don't just do 2 laps behind safety and stop, THAT IS NOT A RACE.

Honestly between premier league, fa cup, champions league, and on top of that a caraboa cup... teams sometimes just do not play their best when they are in these cups. Looking back at United, sure they had martial, sanco and lingard at the offense and that is expected to produce a goal for sure, but sometimes when players do not care about a cup game suddenly you see them at 50% in order to basically "actively rest" meaning they are not resting at home, they are playing the game but more like a training instead of a game.

This is how Arsenal won so many FA cups in the past, because other better teams didn't care about it and worked to win the premier league or do something in europe, whereas Arsenal knew that the only chance they had to win anything was to work hardest on FA cup. Same logic applies here whenever big clubs lose, they just do not care.

The statue is not that bad, for me it is very OK. So I don’t really see the need whysome people would say that it’s not really that good as the expected. Just like I saw someone saying that he would have preferred if the face was just an open space that will reflect your face; lol I don’t see the difference between that and what we have already, since when you look at any of them you’re still going to see a reflection of yourself, it’s all the same. Then what I wouldn’t tell you is that having a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto is going to lead us to bull run.

But, at least it is going to help in creating more awareness and make people to know about it. Though a lot of people already knows about Bitcoin starting from 2017 when we experienced a huge uptrend in price.

It depends on what you get in return and optional aspect of it. I hate KYC but I hate it when it is enforced and not even profitable. If it was not enforced, if it was totally up to me and I can do it or may decline to do it if I want to, then it would be definitely a good thing. However, we are talking about something that is risky and not rewarding at all by simply giving it with no return.

Do it optional, and also give something in return for people who do it, then I may consider it, I won't have to do it but I would at least consider it and that would make things a bit more complicated since I would both want to get the reward for doing it but wouldn't want to give my KYC at the same time, but there would at least be a chance that I may do it.

The reason why even the biggest companies do advertisement is the fact that people will use it anyway, so might as well make them impulse purchase something. Sure, coke is not going to suddenly end up bankrupting because of lack of customers. However, they have competitions, coke has pepsi for example, what happens if pepsi does marketing insanely, spends billions every year and for some reason coca cola stops making any marketing at all, zero marketing. Don't you think that eventually pepsi will become bigger and bigger? Sure we like coca cola more than pepsi right now, people prefer it more right now, but in the end we are talking about zero marketing vs billions of dollars, gradually that will change.

Good trading luck is something we all need, without that we are basically just moving based on our instincts. You can read charts, you can check patterns, you can read what people are saying, you can follow influencers but none of that would matter if you do not have any luck at all. You have to have some luck in order to end up with a profit in the long run. I personally believe that (and OP mentioned) that this was a bit based on luck as well.

Hopefully OP gets more and more lucky in the future, I hope that everyone gets more lucky in the future, with luck we can all make a good profit. I try to minimize the requirement for luck as little as possible, and that happens when I go long term, if you decide not to sell for a decade, the need for luck drops significantly, because in long term bitcoin is a great asset to hold for a big return.

The adoption of Bitcoin is certain, at least by most of the people if not all. A small and more people continues to adopt the use of Bitcoin, those who doesn’t want to make use of it will  also be encouraged  to make use of it. Although I still know that there are people who are going to kick against it.

It’s just like it is in El Salvador where there are people who have chosen to adopt Bitcoin and there are  also those who are against it. In a case like this I believe people should be free to use whatever they want to make use of: if you choose to make use of Bitcoin then it is up to you and also if you choose to make use of fiat it’s also up to you.

We have all kinds of different people in the trading world, that is the emphasis. We have very very brand new noobs that end up trading whatever people tell them to do, there are a bit older noobs who trade based on what influencers and Elon Musk says but they are doing the same thing as the brand new one does, they just do it on limited amount of people instead of anyone, we have mediocre traders like me who end up trading based on their own TA research that sometimes wins or loses, we have experts who trade with experience and talent, and we have those crazy people with 10 monitors and all charts with 5 minute candles and pips and leverages and all that.

I can't say "tech" precisely. I am here because what the tech provides, which is the decentralization and being on a fair grounds instead of banking and fiat world being so unfair. I always hated banks and fiat before crypto even came along, and when I found out about crypto I got in very early on, not for profit, not because I believed it could be what it is today, I never even imagined it could be 64k ATH, I couldn't even imagine 1000 dollars to be honest, and that is why I can't say for profit but not for tech neither, it is the freedom that I came in for and it is the freedom that I got.

I am not saying profit hurts, that is a great addition, and the tech allows for that freedom as well, so the option of both is correct but freedom is the one above all of them that I care about and will continue to care about in the future as well.

ETH itself doesn't really have anything to get it adopted, it is not ETH people are interested in. However ETH built such a huuuuge and vast ecosystem that whenever people get into it, they use ETH for something else. If you are into NFT, then you spend ETH to buy it, when you are interested in play to earn then you spend ETH to get it, when you go into defi and yield farming you spend ETH to get in.

Basically people use ETH to do other stuff, not anything directly ETH related but always requires ETH to get involved on other things. This is why ETH will never be too low, because there are other stuff that will always come up, today its one thing, tomorrow it will be another thing but people will keep on using ETH for those new things constantly.

If we are talking about fundamentals, centralization is an important one of those. BNB is a great coin, I would put it on my top three behind btc and eth, but fundamentally speaking it is not a strong case since it is centralized like hell. If you can ignore that part, then BNB is quite strong.

All these new cases of Dot, ADA, Sol and so forth all are great fundamentally, they are fixing a problem that we have and that is something we always needed, with a layer added on top of the current systems, we have ourselves something that we should all be excited about. However which one of them will stay strong is still unpredictable. Uni and Cake also dominates the defi market as well, they do not seem to be going low (outside of market lows) neither. So those 7 coins total should be fine.

Yeah, whenever a casino has a bit of a problem with the withdrawals, that becomes a huge problem. There is one other place right now that has a huge problem with the hot wallets and they are living a big problem of people leaving as well. It was one of the most known and one of the oldest places ever, have been doing signature campaign for so long, and yet because they lack the hot wallet amount, they are losing tons of customers, all that hard work is going to waste. Which is why I honestly believe that we should not be considering this as a "no problem" for here neither, if they keep it up then they are going to live a big problem.

I am not entirely sure if KYC is a good thing or a bad thing. At one hand I do want people who do bad things to get caught, at the other hand no bad person is dumb enough to get caught gambling via KYC neither. I mean maybe small-time ones could be, but the real big ones won't be caught with this method. So, the whole point of KYC is stupid, so it is really great that this place doesn't have it at all, it would be really a big shame if they do start it in the future, but the governments and basically every paperwork in the world suggests that one day this place will be pressured to do it as well.

I also would understand them giving in and putting KYC eventually when they grow because that is literally every casino, if they get a bit big suddenly, they get pressure from governments to put KYC or they would start attacking the website with illegal management.

I saw this post in this forum few months ago, and that’s how I got to know that there was a statue of satoshi nakamoto in Hungary. Then As of recently, this month, I saw a news that the statue has been unveiled.

Satoshi nakamoto did a good thing for us and it’s really nice to see his work being appreciated by people.and the quote that says that we all are satoshi nakamoto goes to show that we are all equal in this community. With a recognition like this, a lot of people will get to know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, and they will get to know who’s Satoshi Nakamotois, because the news will carry this everywhere.

I don’t know the possibility of totally eliminating the paper money and how good it is going to be. Paper money isn’t that bad, it is easy to use when it comes to some day to day spending. Cryptocurrency is also good in his own way, it is just up to you who is making use of it to decide which one is going to work for you at the moment. So, I don’t really see the need to eliminate one for another.

For some people cryptocurrency is hard for them to use, so they just prefer the normal paper money. Then for those of us who are tech geeks, we prefer to make use of cryptocurrency and other technologies that are meant for payment. Everyone should simply go for what works best for them.
