Yea, right, try to time the top and the bottom and eventually you'll lose in this race, because there are bigger and tougher players than you. You guys should realize that you're trying to enter a race here, but you're on foot and some guys are pro athletes, while others cheat and ride on horses

1. You don't know if there's a dip coming. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
2. You don't know how low it will go just as you did not know how high the ETF pump would take us.
3. If you want to buy bitcoin a 15% dip, called crash by people who don't understand bitcoin, is a great opportunity.

Bottom line, you either want bitcoin or not. If a 15% crash is too much for you to keep holding, or not enough for you to start buying, maybe you don't really want it. Just buy bonds that won't experience volatility and be happy with 5% a year.

First of all, there are some facts that make it look like there's some truth to this. It looks like the Ruler of Qatar spoke with Bukele about this and wanted to know more about the way El Salvador acquired and stored bitcoin. The 1m number can be a rumor, but the fact that these governments were showing interest in bitcoin is more of a fact than anything else.

They might buy 1m, or nothing at all, but the mere fact that they're asking about it when years ago the whole world thought bitcoin to be another bubble is important because it shows the change in narrative.

Also, they could be interested in bitcoin because they have a lot of inflows and don't want to hold any USD, since Saudi Arabia and the UAE are a part of the BRICS now. One of the main goals of this group is to weaken USD.

He was so eager to play again that he decided to not wait any longer and try with a new account. I'd blame the addiction in this case.
Why would you deposit without asking support first if the account is still locked by mistake or if there's an issue?

Weren't there any other casinos where you could play while waiting for an answer from Rollbit's support?


This is an interesting angle of this case.
What if your girlfriend tried to play and was banned and then said that she requested you to be excluded? What if she was lying to you?
Have you ever thought about this OP?

In 2023 NATO had over 3 million active soldiers and another 1,7 million in reserve, compared to only 830k of Russians.
In all war scenarios, the attacking force must be greater than the defenders to advance because it's much easier to defend. Attacking forces have to face difficulties like supply chains, minefields, fortifications, and they are going to fight on unfamiliar battlefields.

Yea, right... That's probably why they have to use ammo from North Korea and send their old T55s into battle, because they have so much modern equipment.
Let's also not forget that Russia, although it's producing a lot, is also losing a lot every day. Just a few days ago there was a video of their most advanced version of T90 being shot to pieces by a Bradley.


Are you comparing these Russian elite troops that fight in Ukraine in plastic helmets? The famous Russian soldiers that dig holes in the dirt to hide in and get grenades thrown on their heads from a drone?
The heroes of Russia that eat old military rations and catch cats and dogs to stay alive? The ones that had to rebel because they weren't getting enough ammo last year because Russia is outproducing the whole NATO and soldiers abandon their own tanks when they run out of fuel, because Russia has so much of it that it could reach Germany and France with its tanks, but couldn't reach Lviv...
And recruitment in Russia? Don't even start with this because I'm sure you know where Russia takes its recruits from.

100% scam. What would also catch my eye is that they operate on very high numbers because stupid scammers think that the more they show as sent or withdrawn and the bigger profit percentage-wise there is the more people will get greedy and try them out with low amounts. Idiots think that if they show you that they got $50k out you'll be more likely to send $500 thinking it's a small amount for the company, but that's the money they actually want from you. They're lowly scumbags living somewhere in India or Africa who never saw $50k in their lives, but will gladly take your $50.

Red flags:
You don't know them, but they DM you somewhere (facebook, whatsapp, telegram, this forum) and offer you an opportunity like an investment or a job.
The money is usually very good, too good for someone to offer via DM to a random person. Often they just want your private data, documents, scans, your full name and age.

That's what most bad analysts say that it can go down before or after the halving or it can go up before or after the halving. You literally made no prediction in these sentences. It might this it might that... You might not wake up one day, and probably will, but it can happen sooner or later That's an example of the predictions you and other so called traders repeat.

The history might have chances to repeat itself or not is the funniest bitcoin prediction I've heard in a while.

So, I expect bitcoin to go up even before the halving. IMO we'll be at the very least at 45k before and over 50k right after the halving. By the end of the year I at the very least expect us to approach $60k, but with good winds we'll hit $80k.

If you still don't own any bitcoin, I urge you all to get at least a little. Get as much as you're comfortable with. With each year getting to a certain point lik 1 BTC is going to be harder, mark my words.
Let's see how this post ages.

I'm interested in how this person understands safety. How is buying a house not safe?

Let's drop the idea of paying by buying an NFT of the house and focus on safety of transaction. I've never seen anyone scammed by a house seller. You can scam when it comes to the state of the house and the land around it, like for instance it can get flooded periodically, but you can't scam when it comes to the transaction itself. You both go to a notary, the seller presents all deeds that get verified by the notary and in extreme cases you can pool the books out of the town hall and check if the guy is the real owner. There's literally no way to scam here because it's not a fast deal. It often takes weeks before the transaction is finalized.

As far as the payment goes, usually deals are make in such way that you sign a deed and then you have a few days to get the money transferred. If you don't the transaction is nullified and if you do, you already have all the paperwork signed, so again, how is that not safe? I own 4 different properties and it was a very easy and clean deal with no need to prove anything using an NFT. We could technically agree to use bitcoin, because such form of payment is legally acceptable, but there's no need for an NFT proof. A tx in the blockchain is enough.

You don't understand OP. He or she wants to explain it to the mother the way a child would understand. It's not about getting kids into crypto but people that aren't tech savvy.  

So, to answer the topic, She wants to know what the difference between bitcoin and crypto is and what mining is. In short, you can tell her that bitcoin is a type of crypto, but there are other types, the way Fords were the first popular cars, but now we a hundred brands. Bitcoin is the first ever digital currency working on its own, without an issuer, contrary to national fiat currencies like the dollar, which has an issuer (US Gov.) and can be digitalized (not to confuse with digitized) Bitcoin was made digital from the start.

Miners are the ones who process transactions because someone has to make the calculations necessary to encrypt and decrypt transactions. Without them anybody would be able to hijack your money, so they provide security and stability that allows the network to function. It's really easy if you don't overcomplicate it.

I feel like the best way to treat patients with addictions is to separate them from it completely, not giving them even the slightest chances to return.

For example, when you have someone with eating disorder, who's overweight and sits at home all day eating and watching TV, you have to move them to a location where food is scarce, for example to a warm climate, preferable the seaside, maybe take them on a boat trip. The warm climate will make them burn more calories, there's no TV, no way to buy premade food.
It's the same with gambling addicts. They have to be moved to a place with no casinos and no Internet access. Then they have to be given something to do, like heavy workout routines, walks to the mountains, swimming, so when they go to bed they drop like a rock and sleep until morning.

Technology brings a lot of new problems that our parents and grandparents did not face. On the other hand, they had their own problems, like communism, war, poverty, lack of technology, medicine, medical equipment.

I agree that we have to control what our kids do because they're going to be able to gamble at night in their rooms, using a small phone hidden under the pillow. You won't even know. This phone gives them access to online markets, porn, brutal movies and gambling.

It's not like gambling is the biggest problem of them all. I'd rather have my child gamble from time to time with the money that he or she earns, than have them buy drugs or alcohol. All addictions are bad, but some can be much worse.

The simple answer to your question is they obey free market laws. They want to spend money on campaigns because they did some research and the money turns into positive traffic on their sites. If they had no inflow of users, there would be no need for advertising on the forum.

I started doing this many years ago and at first I thought that these campaigns aren't going to last long. It's a year or 2 ahead of me and then it's over, but I was wrong.

They aren't going to request money back and even if they did you have the right to decline, since you did your job. They aren't paying you because they expect you to get bring them new people, or profit. They are asking you to wear a signature and post on the forum and that's what you do. The task is performed and the money is paid.

That's how the world is run, by making people feel like there's laws they have to uphold, but in reality all these laws are made by people who run the show for other people who run the show.
For example, you a small gambler, have to undergo KYC when you try to withdraw $500, which is even below the minimum that can be flagged by banks. Like in the EU they will not even care about anything below 1k EUR, which is like 1.1k USD, so banks won't care, governments won't care, but a casino will. Why? Because your personal data is worth more than $500, which is why many companies will pay you for referrals, provided that the other person goes through KYC. They don't care if you make them money as long as you bring real traffic and personal data for the company because that database boosts value of the company.

I never sell my data and I never do KYC. KYC enforced on small transaction is abusive.

Of course it's fake. You can see that her clothes were painted on. Why would they even change her dress and everything? Why not simply blur the face, or make her wear a Guy Fawkes mask. That would've been funny.

I'd say the win was real, but they made a picture and someone was concerned about the safety of the winner or something and some idiot decided to photoshop it and it came out looking like a joke. Like this whole thing was faked. The person responsible for allowing an inexperienced person to edit the photo and post it should be fired because it makes the whole operation look unprofessional.

It's a double negative. If nobody will not use them then somebody will

Jokes aside, I'm not sure if Putin is completely sane. He uses nuclear arsenal as a deterrent saying that if attacked he will use them, but at the same time attacks other countries hoping that they won't. I'm also pretty sure that Ukrainians would nuke Russia if they had access to nukes, the same way that Palestinians would nuke Israel.
Knowing that, I think it's not a question if but when.

Take your idea of a war with NATO. NATO is much stronger than Russia, even if Russia was using Chinese weapons. It could prolong the war, but it wouldn't win it, mainly due to untrained army that would have to fight well trained artillery and tank crews from Germany, France and Sweden. Russia sends convicts to Ukraine because that's all they can do without weakening their borders. They expected a war that would last weeks and it's been years. What would happen if they started a war and lost it? Do you think NATO would push them back to the border and stop there? Defeated Russia might try to cover their escape with nuclear weapons.

Since it's not over yet, I wish you can overcome this. Don't lose hope, there's always a chance.
My father had cancer, but his biggest mistake was giving up years before he died. I remember him  telling me that we may not see each other again every time I came to visit and so it went for more than 5 years, until he finally got it right.


Death is a concept that reaches far beyond trust, trolling, or anything a person said. You had your differences, but this is like kicking a downed opponent. If this is true and he doesn't make it, no disputes between you two will have meaning anymore.
I often think about death and the only thing I'm afraid is not being to feel anymore. I'm pretty sure OP would rather take shit from you for the rest of his life than die and never feel anything anymore. I doubt he's seeking attention at this point. When you know the end is near you just want people to remember that you were there, you want them to know what happened to you.

Take? Like what? Do you mean conquer? So, there's this thing called NATO. How do you expect Russia to "take" Finland Sweden and Poland if there are US troops stationed there?
How are they going to attack Finland if NATO (not counting USA) is overpowering Russia in the air?

First, there's Ukraine that Russia will never be able to conquer. It can win the war, but that win will only mean that Russia keeps disputed regions like Donbas. It doesn't mean Ukraine won't be hitting back if Russia starts a war with NATO.
To attack Finland, Russia would have to conquer Estonia, which has NATO forces stationed there, mainly from the UK. There's also Finnish-Estonian cooperation going back to the times when both countries defended against the Soviet Union. If you added together all the forces stationed around Finland in Norway, Sweden, it would alone be enough to stop Russia in its current state, especially with Ukraine hitting back in the South. In the following months you'd see combined NATO fleet secure the Gulf of Finland and destroy good old Leningrad and that would either trigger a nuclear war or make Russians rethink their moves.

A simple stupid thing like gambling is not worth ending your life. Don't do it, your life is so much bigger than this.

You'll be like a driver who crashed his car and decided to kill himself because he worked a few years to get it. Your life is so much longer and you can achieve much more. Everything that's lost can be regained, remember that. You can recall memories, fix bonds with friends. The only thing you cannot bring back is people.

Get someone to disconnect you from it. Make them drive you to the mountains, where there's no Internet, and no way for you to get back to the city on your own. Make them leave you enough food and supplies to survive and stay there for a few weeks. You'll calm down and feel so much better after.

This may look risky but it's really much worse than betting a thousand dollars and cashing out at small multipliers like 1.1. With Crash it's much better to bet big and cash out very early because the chancves of you getting to 10X are low. Sometimes you'll get there but you'll lose 12 rounds before that happens, being -$2 anyway.


He had a decent bankroll. Many people would get bankrupt playing like this.

I watch others when I play cards, sometimes backing their bets. It's not a bad strategy.

All the people I know regret selling. We all had bitcoin in 2017 and some of us sold some as we approached 20k, while others held it and later panicked in the bear market, selling lower.

I bought a lot of electronics in the last 10 years using bitcoin gift cards. I still have most of it, but not all were essential purchases. I could use without some of them and have more bitcoin, especially that I thought myself smart and sold in bull markets. The problem of that was that there were more bull markets coming.

The truth is, holding without spending anything for years is boring. It's important to give yourself a treat from time to time.

I know some smart girls who do business, so I wouldn't generalize. As a matter of fact, my richest neighbor is a woman and there's some really rich people living here, but she's on another level.
The example is good if we don't focus on genders, but rather on a situation an investor will find himself in when compared to a spender. Women are usually spenders, but it doesn't mean men can't be.
My father used to be a saver and he never made big money.

I sometimes feel like this all saving and investing is overrated. I've been in bitcoin for many years and I feel like we're being constantly abused by bad actors. It's scammers, market manipulators, politicians...
I admit that sometimes I feel like giving up and spending all my investments and showing off for a few years before I get too old to enjoy it.
