If you gamble for fun, you wouldn't only just have a wonderful night, you will sleep and forget about the money you have wage but by the time you wage something that is too large for the fainted mind to handle, that is when you start having this thought if you have made the right move wrong move.
If I wager my money on any game and it didn't work out, I will change the strategy to see if I'm doing the wrong or the right thing as there no harm in trying but we should also remember that gambling is all about luck sometimes.

I didn't put some things into consideration. At first, I thought that if the OP could view the transaction history of his addresses before pruning, he might be able to trace the first transaction of his address to the specific block where those files are saved on the local drive, and then calculate the total amount of space from that block to the current block and prune the rest of the file. For example:
If OP had its first transaction in block K and was able to determine the overall size of blocks from K to the present one, he may simply prune=N where N is the total amount he wishes to keep (MB) on his computer. I'm not sure the strategy would work.

The best option is to restart a full blockchain download, or never prune your node in the first place.

I was out of words for Manchester city come back, it was quick and fast, indeed they are representing England and my tickets. What is more amusing about these matches is Arsenal and Tottenham, I don't know who is informing who but they seem to be on the same radar of goals. Who would have thought that Arsenal and Tottenham would have played well today?
West Ham had the opportunity to go for Europa League but Brighton didn't take to lightly with them, the Premier League table doesn't haven't any changes even after the matches, congrats to all the winning teams.

They will all have their faith known today and will know the position they stand but I'm more interested in what will be the outcome of Arsenal and Tottenham. It seems that the two teams are well prepared for their opponent, they aren't giving up on the way they are playing. Had it been that Arsenal has put in this effort they are doing today, they would have gotten the opportunity for Champions League but I don't think that will be happening anymore, Tottenham is really ready for the top four.

If you prune a node, you just deleted old copies of your verified blockchain, they will be deleted from your computer, calling a blocks that have been deleted from your computer will be unavailable except you connect your wallet with another node as an SPV.
If space is not a problem on your machine, there is no point to delete everything your node downloaded and verified. If old transactions are that precious to you, keep those file on your machine.
Another suggestion is that, if you complete initial blockchain download and you have all your wallet history verify, you can prune the node to first day your wallets had it first transaction and delete the rest of the file.

It is obvious that the guy is trying to offer some service, instead of the user to create his own thread, he decided to spam another thread. If you are waiting for moderators, they might not take action very fast.
Kindly change the thread to self moderation, that way you can easily delete spam comments and any reply you don't wish to see on your thread.

There is something you quite don't understand about algorithm stablecoins like the abracadabra of UST. There were many things that contributed to their decentralized ecosystem then, if we are to assume things ideally, those APY doesn't work the way you think.
If an exchange offer to give an APY of 40%, people with big money say billions and millions will be ready to stake and this will of course boost liquidity for the exchange and they will have cut to pay off the small circle of stakers within the range of hundred to thousand but the moments the big players change their mind, the Ponzi scheme will eventually collapse. Hence, in return for their commitment, the exchange gives some incentive dividends to big players to continue staking their money.
High APY is a scam, stay away from them.

Hey man, look, It is a bull$h*t move! You and I know they wouldn't do anything about paper money.
At first, I thought they were going to withdraw some Naira denominations from circulation because inflation has rendered 5 and 10 Naira note useless in the market, but it was their branded Enaira that they are forcing on people, I have never for onetime tried to download the app on my mobile.
Less than a year before the next election, watch how they will discard all of the things that current administrations have done, it is the Nigerian government's custom to abandon everything whenever there is a change in government.

Sorry! Stomach pain is a very bad thing to experience but don't you think you are in the wrong place for the right answer? Gambling should be something for entertainment, glad you said you don't have fears of doing it back probably you had a rule for play but if things aren't going well, since it is anytime you engage in gambling it does start, please kindly quit gambling for now, it doesn't remove anything from you.
Go and see your doctor please, Bitcointalk is not a hospital that can diagnose you, it may even be possible that your gambling and health imbalance may be a coincidence.

Just the same way some people don't see gold as treasure, same way bitcoin will never be used by some people and countries. Whoever has managed to hold plenty of bitcoin and gold as reserve will shill and continue to do so to their advantage but let us forget the sentiment and hate about the two assets and be realistic for once, bitcoin is way better than gold in any definition, name it, the supply, the durability, the clean energy to mine it. If you see the process gold undergoes to become fully processed and ready to be used, you will hate gold entirely but governments will continue to defend their nonsense.

Whoever agreed to accept bitcoin as a means of payment is a very smart one at that and knows how useless paper money has become, imagine a seller who has been selling cars and accepting bitcoin since 2015, the person will be having heavyweight of bitcoin on his wallet and not that, the seller has beat inflation 3 fold of the amount the cars were sold.
Now, if the seller decides to buy more cars today, the shop will be full of many vehicles to sell for more bitcoin, this is why you shouldn't use bitcoin to settle things, hold them, don't give it out for liabilities that tomorrow they would have depreciated.

It could be good news to speculators that they are having a meeting but ideally, it is of no benefit to bitcoiners, just a group of failed traditional banking systems who want to learn what the new model of bitcoin is and how it works. Not as if the representative has the final say to implement bitcoin, if the country still rules for or against the use of bitcoin, all of them there cannot do anything to change that, only the government in power has the power to do it. El Salvador is doing its best to spread crypto adoption and I love the energy and commitment they put into bitcoin. #Hodl.

An account that was registered in 2016 doesn't have a clue about the history of bitcoin price sounds somehow, if you were lucky to buy bitcoin around $11k, and you observe its price go to $20k and drop down to $3k and still go back to $63k should know that bitcoin as a store of value will reach $100k for sure, just give it some time. Even now, you should be at profit irrespective of the time you bought your sats.
As suggested in previous replies, 1 BTC is BTC, continue to hold and you will understand the precious investment you have done so far, you will get to know that bitcoin is one of the best store of value.

Like seriously? Didn't you two see the first page, a link was provided for more guide.
Some of you coming here pasting signed messages and addresses don't know how valuable this is until you have a problem with an account hack and by the time they asked you to prove ownership of the account, that is when you start giving excuses on how you have lost your private keys and seed.
If you've signed a message here, know for sure that you are doing it for reference and future use, not necessary your account may become hacked, you can be accused of anything and by the time you are asked to sign a message from the address you have used here, you should be able to prove it with ease.

They made an announcement thread on this forum^[1], however, it is no longer active as it once was, it appears that they abandoned it now since they have their own governance forum.
It's good to see an exchange on Telegram because the project idea came as a Telegram fork, but I also believe it's the incorrect platform to develop an exchange that has to do with money. Telegram is one of the most popular platforms for fraudsters, not only in cryptocurrency, anybody can construct a similar bot and alter the username by just a letter, and anyone may become a victim. To some extent, I enjoy that they did not seek KYC, but it is a NO for me. DIscord would have been a better option.

I don't know how you were able to be completely convinced by a random person you met online, I guess the person was a female who post all these silly images to entice people(especially men) and right behind the scene is always operated by a full beard man.
By looking at the exchange, they look scammy, the footer of the website doesn't have an office description or any licence, they don't have social handles, not Twitter, even the through the Facebook you claimed you met the person, they don't have any social media platform for customers, a complete red flag.

The exchange domain was also registered some months ago, everything about this exchange speaks scam, luckily you were able to get back your money, stay away from exchanges that aren't known and stop associating your finances with online friends.

You want something very realistic? Ok
Imagine having kerosene and methane gas in a closed cylinder, open the two at the same time, you will find out that the container carrying methane gas will quickly evaporate, the same analogy happens to cryptocurrency price volatility, it is very fast that's why it is always recommended to used stop loss on your trades as it may be difficult to exit a trade when the market is having a downtrend.
Use last week scenario of the Luna fiasco and the overall crypto market how they fell, it happens very fast that you can easily lose 50% of your position, that's why it is advisable to take caution if you are new to cryptocurrency, however, the reverse is very dope in the sense that bitcoin will help you beat other investment you ever had. It has proven to be and will continue to do so in the long run.

Some comments above are very dissatisfying with how some members have been here for a long period of time, I mean at this stage of bitcoin, do you need more years to define the success of bitcoin? Common! That's the old fashion statement Thomas was using and they have all become bitcoin maxist.
There is this quote from satoshi that says:

If by 2022 and anyone still doubts the bitcoin journey, there is nothing we can do for them, believe it or continue to save up your paper money until inflation ruins everything about you.

In addition to what NotATether has said, I don't know the platform you intend to sell but the trading fee varies from exchange to exchange, while some are free for the first month, some are negligible and some are way expensive, here https://withdrawalfees.com/coins/bitcoin you can see the withdrawal fees charged by different exchanges, thus, make sure the one you have in mind doesn't request for KYC before you can initiate a withdrawal.
You should utilise an exchange that also has p2pwkh or bech32 address, this allows you to spend little amount on fees, it usually starts with bc1q........

Arsenal did the same thing, and they disappointed a lot of people. They defeated Manchester United and Chelsea, but they lost to Tottenham. I don't believe Everton will be brave enough this time because, after losing 4-0 to Crystal Palace just a month ago, what guarantee do they have that they will win this time?
The season is nearly over, the top four have already been determined, and only West Ham and Manchester United wins may result in minor shifts and also in relegation teams.
