KuCoin is going full KYC starting july 15.
Over time, all centralized exchanges will do this. The future is with DEX. KYC is incompatible with bitcoin in its concept. Privacy and anonymity, I do not intend to go through the KYC procedure on any exchanges. Slowly but surely the SEC is threatening or shutting down exchanges and services that don’t comply with their policies. This is going to bring an end to a lot of cool projects, but it will also level the playing field for those looking to start legitimate businesses. Personally I liked Bitcoin more before the regulation when cool services were everywhere, but this seems a necessary development in order for Bitcoin to thrive. |

Blaming others is not usually the right attitude to have in gambling or anything else really. Sure, some things might actually be other people’s fault, but by blaming them instead of figuring out how YOU could have had a different outcome will keep you from learning and bettering yourself. Always look at what you could have changed.

Maybe seeing Paul and Steph starting at the same time.
There is a possibility that this approach would help Curry conserve his energy, as they would already have a facilitator, while he and Thompson focus on finding open shots. It would result in a smaller lineup, but adjustments can always be made. I guess right now we can't really say what will be the adjustments that Steve Kerr is going to put here. Yes, Chris Paul is prone to injury, but I think it might be effective if Curry will not bring the ball and put it to Paul as their main point guard. They will still be good with Looney and they they will play small, which has been the trend for now in the NBA. Although it was proven by the Nuggets that you still need big men, like Jokic to bring championship. Nevertheless, I doubt that the Warriors are going to get another big men to help Looney. I was seeing the pictures on Twitter of people showing the Warriors’ starting five next year. I was surprised to see that the expectation is for both Chris Paul and Stephen Curry to start. I’m not sure that’ll be what happens. They’re both pretty weak defensive guards. I can’t imagine they’d both be playing lots of minutes together. Seems like a liability. |

I'm glad to hear that the Suns are apparently willing to keep DeAndre Ayton now instead of trade him for next to nothing. Pretty crazy that they almost dealt him for JaVale McGee, Tim Hardaway Jr. & Richaun Holmes. I think Ayton is worth a lot more than that and I hope he's able to have another year like in their Finals run a couple years back. He's definitely capable of being one of the top centers in the league, he just needs some development help. Monty Williams did a horrible job with him and I think if the Suns focus on him they'll have their best chance at getting back into the Finals.

With the volatility of Bitcoin I could see the desire by some to want to take advantage of pawning or loans on their BTC in order to try and have their cake and eat it too. It's a bit of a put option on Bitcoin's price, albeit with an extreme interest rate and pool loan value. However, if you were to pawn your coins instead of spend them during a bubble, you might find that you're able to buy them back at an attractive rate if the price goes up, or just leave them and enjoy your funds if the price goes down. Bitcoin being extremely volatile is what makes this almost attractive to a gambler with some coins burning a hole in their pocket.

I still haven't found anyone using AI like this but I'm sure people must be doing it. Is anyone aware of any reddit posts or other places that people may be discussing different prompts they are using to try and do this sort of gambling? I'm very tempted to do some sort of thread documenting the success of AI in gambling decisions, but so far I haven't found a good method to do so. Hopefully I get it figured out before the NBA season starts again. It would be cool to start doing some fun stuff with AI when that time rolls around again.

Slots are rough but I've noticed that Stake has prizes for users who hit certain milestones on their games. That's pretty cool. Between that and rakebacks, bonuses, I can see how people get addicted to playing slots. Especially with all the cool graphics and sounds... Personally, I prefer sports betting, but slots are more of an instant gratification thing. When you get a big win on a tiny amount, it starts to make sense why those old folks spend so long at the penny machines in casinos. It does seem like slots could use some innovation and be a little more interactive and arcade like than watching an animation.

I've been saying for some time now that it's pretty shocking nobody has developed a system for users to sign in using a signature from their public address. It goes a little against the anonymity desires of people who use this forum, but it's not like you couldn't just use a random public address that isn't used for anything else... If I were currently looking at developing something simple that would make a big difference in the community, I would develop a simple open source tool that could be added to websites as a login method via signed messaged from an address. I'm sure someone could whip something up in a night if they were motivated. Shocking it hasn't been done yet to my knowledge.

I noticed that on the nastyfans website the last confirmed sale is showing as 0.00045000 BTC per seat. I wanted to drop a reminder that in March of 2021 I stated the following... NastyMining or myself would purchase up to 15 BTC of seats at 0.0005 BTC per seat (currently worth $833,250) if anyone was interested. That offer will put a floor under seat prices in BTC terms which is something I think people have wanted to see with this organization for a long time.
In the time since NastyMining has purchased ~2,000 seats from the public auction. While the main goal was to give potential sellers liquidity to exit NastyFans if they so desired, the secondary goal was to "put a floor under seat prices in BTC terms" as that has been a common complaint over the years. I am now increasing that offer to buying an unlimited number of seats at a price of 0.00055 BTC per seat. This marks a 10% increase in the floor price for NastyFans seats and anyone who wants to take advantage of this offer needs only to list their seats on the auction at nastyfans.org and drop me a message letting me know they've been listed. |

Looking at the chart it sure seems like we're at a decision point. The market can retest $20K or it can shoot up to $40K, but I don't think it sits where it is now for too long. With all the ETF news being the big talk in the market, I think a move to $40K is more likely but we'll see. The elephant in the room remains mtgox and I feel like distribution should come around the end of the year, so we'll have to see how that goes before really being able to make a good determination of where the market goes from $40K.

We got another tweet from Jake Paul addressing this fight by showing he's training to go 8 rounds. It feels like after the last disaster of a press conference they really aren't doing much to promote this fight but walk through the motions. It seems like once this fight fails Jake will try and fight KSI to establish some interest, and there are rumors of him fighting Nate Diaz in the octagon after this boxing match, but we'll see. I personally think this Paul/Diaz fight is going to do really terrible numbers with the PPV and will probably hurt both fighter's brands.

That is a crazy idea to think about. If this all went according to the best case scenario (as I think we have pretty much seen up until FTX) then I could see this propelling Bitcoin into the millions per BTC in 10-15 years. I think the banks are placing their bets that the Bitcoin market is going to follow gold’s footsteps after ETFs launched. |

Someone that is not a member of this forum saw my service and hired me to write some articles since April. I charged him $4000 and asked for $3000 advance. He paid the advance of $2,500, but has since vanished. I'm putting up this post in case he forgot he gave someone $2,500. If you know someone that paid someone for a job and forgot the person, please let them know I'm the one. As in, can't imagine someone throwing away their money just like that.
I also hope he sees this post and remembers.
Edit: Some people don't believe my story. That's not atypical of Bitcointalk. Anyways, I do not care if you believe it or not. For those of you that have given me some advice, you're all appreciated. Hopefully, my client will be back. I really pray he comes back because men like him come by very rarely. As in, men who have trust in a weird harsh, near-trustless world. For those hoping for a TXID, keep hoping, but that's not gonna happen.
Update:
I've written to the company. Hopefully, if he's working with them they'll respond. Thanks all.
That is a crazy story but stranger things have happened. I’ve seen plenty of deals fall apart because someone mysteriously disappeared and I’m sure some folks in this space have more money and ideas than they can juggle, so mistakes like this could happen for a million reasons. Let’s just hope everyone is happy and this was just an oversight. |

As far as I can see, if the Trailblazers don't give up, trade Dame, or provide him with some help, the Trailblazers will never win an NBA Championship. It's like it's time to make a change not just for the players but also the whole organization of Trailblazer. Jerami Grant is not the player who can help Dame win a championship. Remember what happened to Denver after he left the Nuggets. They won the championship a year later.
It is a shame too. The Blazers were on their way to a dynasty but Greg Oden’s injury devastated them. Brandon Roy also could have been great, not to mention they had LaMarcus Aldridge and even Zach Randolph. It was just a series of unfortunate incidents that kept Dame from getting a ring, so I think everyone is fine with him ring chasing now. Poor Portland. What could have been. |

That is how this stream industry operates, they cut the payment from other streamers and fund the popular names to bring more users on the new platform.
Eddie is also the founder of the Kick and he will do everything to keep Kick operational, IMO.
They don't want to fix the server issue for some reason.
Are you assuming that they do that or do you have some sort of proof to back it up? Kick is brand new and i haven't seen such claims about it. Only the fact that they pay 95% of revenue to streamers while twitch pays 50% Which makes me think that twitch can't survive this without adjusting their numbers. That would totally crash their future projections and i doubt they can afford it. But amout that money, streaming and gambling industry is insanely big industries. They can afford things that seem unreal to normal people. It seems like a good move for Stake. Streaming is growing quickly with favorable regulation but burning through cash. Gambling has tons of cash and a regulatory problem. If they can continue subsidizing Kick’s growth until it reaches profitability, there could be an unimaginably massive payoff in the end. |

I think that ETFs will be a positive effect on the price for many reasons. As banks see ETFs getting approved they will rush to purchase their own Bitcoin, as it will enable them to launch their own fund and collect fees. This will lead to a feedback loop of growing ETFs bringing higher BTC prices and thus generating more revenue for their fund managers. Scary, but it shows the potential for seemingly endless gains.

His latest sound bite is pretty insane. No way does that joke get written for him. It feels sinister to joke about given how likely it is to be true. Old folks do have a way of blurting out the truth at bad times…
As for whether or not there will be a democratic primary. Does it really make a difference when there won’t be any debates?

I wouldn’t say I bet solely on the odds alone. However, I do take the odds into account and there have been plenty of times that my decision on which side to place my bet was changed due to the odds. Balancing risk and reward is a major step in gambling and investing and nothing displays this more simply for people than the “odds” of a bet.

Exchanges can borrow coin in order to pass an audit. NYKNYC.
It did appear this was occurring during the FTX debacle. You saw the headlines of massive amounts of funds being moved between exchanges. Certainly there was some bad behavior going on there. Auditing of crypto companies should be dead simple, so it’s a shame that gaming audits is so easily possible and allowed. I’m sure real banks don’t do this… |

^ We’ll see. The Trailblazers have been praising Dame for years and saying that they’d help him get to where he wants to go if he ever wanted to leave the franchise, so I could see them letting him go for a lot of picks instead of trying to get a star player. Dame is also starting to age, so from a business standpoint it’s probably time to part ways with him anyway.
