Even though situation with KYC is getting worse as we speak, there are still some exchanges that can be used without need for going through KYC. Here is the list. Then again, they may ask for KYC at any point so unless you are willing to provide documents if asked (or ready to lose the money if you decline to do it), they should be avoided as well.

To be honest, I am not surprised that he already wants to step down as twitter CEO as he is known for losing interest in something fast (Bitcoin, Doge etc) so this would be just business as usual for him. He will soon find new toy anyway.


He is of course not stepping down because of the poll results, as he obviously decided that before, and this was just something for the audience.


                                

If you think that Binance is at the "too big to fail" level (which I certainly don't think is the case for any crypto exchange, including them), why are you worried about them going down?


While certain amount of crypto is definitely lost due negligence and not storing seed phrase properly, CZ is grossly exaggerating with his estimate on the amount of people that will lose their funds if kept in self custody, due obvious reasons. Centralized exchanges/platforms are still by far the biggest threat to an average crypto enthusiast and that's the place where majority lose their money.

This advice goes against the topic of your thread as all this type of so called "diversification" will ensure future losses. Stick to bitcoin.


There's no much sense it what you wrote. You do realize that mining equipment costs money, and so do the electricity needed to run mining machines?

First of all, sorry to hear about your health issues and I hope that you have a full & speedy recovery after the heart transplantation.


As someone who went through a transplantation (not heart though) some years ago I am very well aware of the financial burden that whole process is, especially during the recovery even if you have a solid health insurance. With that being said, I just sent some bitcoin your way. Its not much, but I hope it helps anyway as I remember how much every bit of help meant to me in my time of need.

Considering how rare name changes are, is something like that really needed? At least for me it would be a pain in the ass to have to include ID on top of the username. I say keep it as it is, no need to make things more complicated.

As expected, FTX is considering to to claw back all those donations (~73 million USD) SBF made to political parties.



Since many of those who the FTX money already donated the funds to charity as a move to try distance themselves from it, what i would like to know is how they plan to get the money if charities already spent it? I mean what's the procedure in this case, will they go after the persons who received the money, or those charities?

FTX offered 1.4 billion USD few months ago, but it of course failed after they declared bankruptcy as well. Back then Binance as well sent the bid, but FTX had higher one so this was their 2nd attempt.



I like to think that CZ is a bit smarter and more experienced guy and won't do the same mistake after he saw what has happened with SBF, but time will tell as smart people do stupid things. Then again, how can he blame Voyager for the eventual Binance collapse if it was his decision to buy them. No one put the gun on his head and forced him to do it.

Just because you didn't have any issues with 1xBet doesn't mean that others had the same experience, or that they are not connected with 1xBit. By the way, there are some interesting news coming from Curacao regarding 1xBet as they have been sued by players for not paying them their winnings, after which it was declared bankrupt. That of course won't stop them as they moved out from there and will continue their business elsewhere.


And that is somehow proof of legitimacy? Celebrities promoted FTX as well, and now are being sued.

From the evidence I saw, I believe that they are controlled by the same group of people.


That's up to you to decide, even though its obvious to me.

There's nothing potential about is as this is as straight forward scam as it can be and it will disappear in a month or two.


Since BitHit is registered in the UK, website that you have to check to see whether its legit business or not (even though in this case situation is obvious, but for the future reference) or is https://www.fca.org.uk/ which regulates all financial services companies in the UK and of course you won't find it there.

You might wanna check this topic made by efialtis and this post by FatFork and then tell me that its not controlled by the same people.


They probably don't even know about 1xBet-1xBit connection. Everyone here also thought the same until few members connected the dots and proved that its the same group of people operating behind those two (and probably more) gambling sites. But even if a well known club like Barcelona accepts sponsorship from some company, it doesn't mean that company is trustworthy and should be used. Even 1xbit doesn't scam each and every user, but they are doing it in a selective matter that enables them to operate for years.

Voyager Digital, who first stopped all withdrawals and deposits earlier this year and then declared bankruptcy, accepted the offer from Binance and will sell their assets for 1.022 billion USD. If I remember correctly,  FTX also planned to take them over, but we all know how that ended up so at least I hope people will be able to get their money back.

In short, Kevin O’Leary was a FTX spokesman and investor, and at Senate hearing he accused Binance for FTX downfall, conveniently forgetting SBF role in everything that has happened. CZ is a shady guy, but in this case he is right to call out O’Leary for all the bullshit he said lately.

He obviously pulled that number out of his ass, but of course advocates for people not choosing self custody and opting to give their coins to centralized exchanges. I can't believe that even after everything that has happened lately and millions of people lost their money he advice people to do the very same thing that caused them losing their money. Tells you everything that you have to know about CZ really.

Lol what a joke, another dubious penalty for Argentina and then France conceded another one from counter attack. This reminds me of Croatia game against Argentina where it was exactly the same scenario (suspicious penalty and then goal from counterttack), with the difference that Croatia was actually better in the first 30 minutes while France showed absolutely nothing so far in the first half, and I don't think that they can turn this match.

I have no doubts that Messi played a good tournament and deserves Golden Ball award, but given the treatment Argentina had in Qatar (5 penalties in 7 games) I can't not to help to think that everyone did as much as they could to help Messi wins this world cup, as it was in everyone's (FIFA, Qatar etc) interest.

Since you are still new in crypto, your behavior is perfectly normal and all of us did the same at the beginning.

Speaking from my own experience, turning point for me 2018 when I decided to deinstall all price tracking apps from my mobile phone and remove similar websites from my bookmarks as I was getting obsessed with it.  Thing is, I realized that there was no point in checking prices on the daily basis because I was not a trader but hodler, so why waste my time on that since i won't do anything about it, no matter price going up or down. Best decision ever.

To be honest, I don't mind some FUD against Binance and other exchanges if that means people will finally stop seeing them as banks and using them to store bitcoin.


Good for you, I guess you haven't learned much from what has happened this year. Regarding Nexo, how can you trust some centralized platform that still offers APY very similar to the one of Celsius (I just checked and they offer up to 12% on stablecoins ), which we knows was only possible due very risky moves.

You asked what would someone do if they need money ASAP and they don't have camera on their device, but if someone is keeping majority of their funds outside of the exchange (like you said you are doing), then that person would never be in that position, right?

I agree that these verifications suck, but things will keep getting worse due regulations.

Well, if they were smart, that person would learn not to use centralized exchange to store their crypto ever again.


I hear other exchanges are doing that as well, increasingly asking for verification for withdrawals, especially if stablecoins are involved.

While I agree that Gvardiol deserves to win FIFA Young Player Award award (any doubt about that is imho removed after his performance today) I don't think that there is an award for the best defender. I expect him to finish in the team of the tournament though.


Even though there is no award for the best defender, I am curious to hear who are those few defenders that had better tournament than him? The way he played is even more impressive when you take into consideration the way our team played this tournament, and how busy he was every single game. In 6 out of 7 games we played he was either the best or among 2-3 best players in our team and I don't remember any of our defenders playing this good in any of our previous world cups. Not even Dejan Lovren when he was chosen into 2018 team of the tournament.


Unless they signed the contract, I don't think that they will get him. Not after the tournament that he has and definitely not for amount of money agreed before WC. Rumour in Croatia is that Man City and Real are frontrunners and I would rather see him in either of those two than in Chelsea.

I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised when I see our starting 11 before the game started, especially seeing Perisic as LB ( position similar to the one he is playing for last few years in Inter and now in Tottenham) and Orsic ar LW, as that meant Dalic decided to completely change the tactic and showed that we are not one dimensional team like Greece was back in 2004 for example (btw I highly respect what Greece achieved) and that we can play attractive and attacking football if we want to, and still be pretty good at it despite the lack of a world class forward.

Once again I was worried about the referee, and for a good reason given the fact that we should have been awarded penalty for that foul on Gvardiol, but luckily that mistake didn't had effect on the final result. In the end, 3rd sport well deserved, we were the better team today.

edit: exclusive photo from VAR room that explains why they didn't see foul on Gvardiol
