It's been a crazy weekend:
Former coinbase CTO bet 2 million USD that bitcoin will hit 1 million in June. A very McAfee like bet, but at least it looks like he's really ready to put money on the line.
PlanB came back to posting bullishness on twitter.
Credit Suisse got bought

The next two hours we should break the $25,00 resistance! For the 2nd time in a couple of weeks. I think we might push on from here without dropping back down we might finally be able to challenge the $30,000 price. We just need more banks to fail in the next couple of days and it should continue rising. I do not know why multiple banks are failing in the same week but I hope it continues for the price of Bitcoin!

Really? It broke 25000 5 hours ago. It also broke it yesterday and the day before. Looking at bitfinex right now:
26529 on March 14,
25324 March 15,
25102 today.

Going above 25 is easy. Staying there for more than a day is the hard part Wink

Withdraw your money from banks to your home, store it in a security vault.

That's taking it into extremes. We don't need to go all the way with this. Make sure most of your money is secured somewhere like in a bank deposit box, since those aren't counted into bank's liabilities and as far as I know cannot be taken away in case of bankruptcy.

I have some money on my account. It's less than 10% of all that I have, but I do it because it's convenient. If I had all my money at home in a vault, every time there's a bill to pay I'd have to drive to a nearest post office to pay it. The current system doesn't give you many options. You can say you won't use the bank but you'll either have to use another service like paypal or pay additional fees at the post office and waste your time and money getting there.

Credit Suisse, founded in 1856, has faced a string of scandals in recent years, including money laundering charges and other issues.

If you print money, you go to jail for 20 years, unless you're the central bank.
If you threaten people and blackmail them, you go to jail, unless you're a bank or a politician.
If you make mistakes and go bankrupt, you lose the business, unless you're a bank.
If you launder money, you go to jail, unless you're a bank.

We could go on and on with this.

I would have been a millionaire now if I had not sold most of my portfolio last year when the BTC price was only at 10k - 12k.

Another proof how big problems can become small in time and small ones big.
The guy had to become a millionaire eventually after laundering billions of dollars. Then he lost his freedom...

The interest bet placed by SVB was likely an act of extreme stupidity or

financial sabatoge. 

The financial decisions by SBF were either extreme stupidity or financial sabatoge.

pattern does not look good.

Ellison - why would anyone need a stop loss? Also, trading on drugs is a great idea!
SBF - I'll trust my ex girlfriend with trading. She's weird and often high, but who cares. Fuel my yacht, we're going places!
SVB - Send this guy a billion dollars, he's a genius. He can run a billion dollar company while playing LoL.
Powell - Let's keep printing boys! We're in the best economy in the history of the US.
Warren - inflation? banks are failing? Blame it all on those crypto people!

It’s almost as if maybe this wasn’t the most legal service and perhaps it’s participants were advertising illegal money laundering services for profit. I wonder what sort of punishment one thinks is fair for promoting illegal money laundering schemes? My guess is those doing so will play victims and attack anyone who brings up their promotion of illegal activities for profits.

Depends how you see it.

Usually something as trivial as wearing a signature doesn't make you involved in the activity. If it was the way you're saying you could prosecute every single TV station and newspaper because all of them promoted a failed business at some point in their existence.

CNBC should go down for promoting FTX, Coindesk and other crypto news sites promoted altcoin scams that imploded some time later.

I hope the business moves to different servers under different jurisdiction and keeps going the way torrent sites do.

You're complaining about being scammed by someone with negative trust who is involved in account farming and trading?

It's like going to a gang chop shop to buy a car and complaining that the police arrested you for driving a stolen car. Oh, those dirty scammers, I wanted a cheap car so much!

This is not a valid analogy.

You think? I bet I could find people in this thread who think otherwise Cool

Accounts and trading are not forbidden by the rules. Consequently, they are not banned and the topics are not closed. This is a gray area.

I sae this as a red area, red, like the trust of that seller and one that you'd get on that bought account sooner or later.

Quote
I understand that. But scam is no longer a gray area. Such people need to be banned and topics closed.

I have a similar opinion about both, buyers and sellers. Especially the ones trading in trusted accounts.

292  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: March 13, 2023, 10:59:37 AM
Wrong lifestyle, wrong mindset, lack of opportunities, negative consequences from early childhood, traumas, depression, toxic environment, low self-esteem, physical disabilities... There are many different possibilities on why someone stays poor and each case has to be identified and studies particularly through observation techniques in order to reach the correct approach on how to revert the situation on the life of the individual, so he can finally start thriving in life.

Often fear is the main factor.

A confident person will be fine with risking 30% of their money after doing some research. A scared person will keep adding money to their savings account, not taking much risk but also not getting anything in return. After 20 years the person taking risk will usually have a lot more money than someone who was saving 10% of their monthly paycheck for retirement with 5% inflation rate. The saver is going to be broke anyway but they don't understand it.

The fearful never win in this world.

I think that if the rule is one account per person and there's a solid proof that he had more than one account, even with the use of 2 different numbers, the casino should proceed with KYC of both accounts.

If the user cannot do KYC on both accounts or provides the same information for both, his accounts can be banned. He knew what he was doing when he registered the second account, right?

Of course I'm against taking player's money. His deposits should always be returned to him.

296  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin might reach $30,000 in the first half of 2023 and $50,000 in the second on: March 08, 2023, 08:16:14 PM
I see this as very possible, as I referenced here based on 2019 fractal and rebound to 0.618 fib retracement level, which is at $48.5K for reference sake.

Many see $30K as a realistic target for the year, many less see $50K as possible, but if $30K is broken to the upside then for me this would be the next target due to lack of resistance to the upside.

It's also true, based on the article, that it might take longer to get to $100K levels than simply a 2025 bull market. It may be a slow grind to the upside from that point on.

I feel like 50 would be a confirmed bull market. It's not going to happen before the halving unless we get some really positive news like a large country accepting bitcoin as currency, the way El Salvador did.

I'm calm and confident here but I also try to be a realist. 30 000 this year would satisfy me in full and it's perfectly reachable by the end of the year. I think that we'll have some bearish bias, like we have right now, possibly go back to 20 000 again and then get a new rally in 2-3 months that will finally breach 25 000 and take us towards 30s. Don't expect much more this year with the US rates so high. 
297  Local / India / Re: India's money laundering rules to apply to Crypto Trade - Gov't notification on: March 08, 2023, 07:57:54 PM
This is a strange thing because they don't seem to understand the range of the Internet.

The way I understand they want a business that allows for trading, exchange, etc. to report such activities and follow AML laws so they have to ask you for your ID and hold that in case the government want to see who traded what.

The business is responsible for that, not the individual.

So if an individual uses a business that isn't registered in India and doesn't report to Indian authorities, what happens?

Are they going to start blocking IP addresses the way China does? There's no other way to stop people from exchanging cryptocurrencies on platforms they cannot control, the way you can't demand a torrent site to delete files. All you can do is block that sites IP so that people in your country cannot use it, but that's a long and costly fight.
298  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Metaspins.com Scam Site Dont put your BTC There!!!!! NOT pay 9500 USD winnings on: March 08, 2023, 07:43:40 PM
In fact, if you look at TaC metaspins.com then you can see that there is a very small list of limited territories that include countries such as Afghanistan, Cuba, Curacao, Cyprus, Iran, Iraq, Isle of Man, Italy, Malta, Netherlands and its territories, North Korea, Belarus, Spain, Sudan, Syria, United Kingdom and its territories, United States. But if they refer to a violation of the rules of one account- one IP, then it is possible that the player logged into the account, for example, using another provider and, for example, from a mobile phone, and if the player has a dynamic IP, what to do in this case, of course, they may identify the device itself by mac address.

We either don't know all the facts here or the casino is at fault. At least that's my understanding of the case.

Even if player had another account, he had a decent deposit of 420 USD and a big win of 9000 USD. OP won at slots which means it had nothing to do with a different IP address or another account, even if he is guilty of that.

They could ban his account and return the deposit, but they chose to be greedy and steal everything. Also it looks really shitty because they did nothing until he won. Then they contacted him about KYC and then came up with the idea to steal his deposit. If he was changing IPs then it should have been obvious from the start. Why ask him for KYC then?

From what I can see here they were hoping he wouldn't give them his ID but since he did everything right with KYC they came up with a fraud charge.

If OP was making multiple accounts and claiming bonuses that he tried to withdraw and disappear, they would have the right to do what they did, but it doesn't seem like the bonus, or another account had anything to do with his win in slots.

Metaspins should provide a solid proof against OP and explain why his deposit wasn't returned. Another IP or another account with the same IP doesn't justify stealing a deposit.

He should be ashamed of making such statement. I wonder how He is an Nobel prize winner in Economic science and He still didn't see the significance of cryptocurrency in the year 2018.

He may probably be smart in some aspects of economics and markets, but he definitely has no business in trying to tell people what's great and what's not when talking about technological advancements lmao.

It's pretty much like Canadian protesters who thought the money was theirs until they got depraved of it.

Everything is fine up to a certain point.
Many Chinese citizens thought their daily routine is work, shopping, dinner with family and a movie in bed. Then they realized there will be no shopping and no dinner because the bank doesn't allow them to take money out and there are tanks protecting it so you can't even protest.

You're doing fine until some shit happens like your country goes to war and says that you either go to war too or to jail, so you have to run away, but there's a line to the ATM and withdrawal limits.

I looked through YouTube video and I can assure you that they made more over this video. So he had fun, his friends were annoyed and had fun at the same time. We, watchers liked to watch them as well. Adin is probably seeking only fame and money through streaming here so it doesn't even matter. In real life I honestly can't offer to my friend that I would like to gamble with his money. It would be seen as very shameful event.

Maybe he did, but he also intentionally lost all their money. He had 2400, went all in on blackjack and stood on a hand of 8? That's like asking for a loss.

If I remember first round he had 12 which is risky as hell to stand on and the dealer went over and then next hand he had 8 and just let it there. The dealer started with 12 so that was a free win for the casino. I'm sure he knew that he just wanted to lose the money to make his friends complain on the live video.

I wouldn't want to play like this if I saw he's using me for the video and not playing for real.
