As we know at the end of 2021 the price of bitcoin decreased due to entering a bear market because of the new year. But now bitcoin continues to decline again due to Russia's war with Ukraine. In your opinion, is this the reason the bitcoin price keeps dropping, sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down again. Because there is a new issue that says that there is no war between Russia and Ukraine but the American mind.
Not totally maybe those things happen because many people expect to much that the market will go more higher, that's why many got dismay when market begin crashing and that when the fuds start. And also this incident in Ukraine add the fud but manipulators cannot use this incident for long time so prepare to buy some if you want to earn on this current manipulation event happen these days.

Hopefully they will not sell the franchise to SMB or MVP group since it will kill more the league since for sure there's another independent team will leave the league next to alaska. And just wondering about what company got interest to buy a franchise on a dying and in balance league? At the high of pandemic for sure they struggle what alaska encounter especially if they are independent company.
As per the report, there are 3 companies that are willing to buy the franchise. Those are not named yet officially but rumor stated that it might be Chooks-to-Go or Family's Brand Sardines. I'm just becoming curious now if there are more teams that are willing to buy franchises, it means more companies like to enter the PBA. Now that a strong company like Alaska retires, PBA should now be open more team expansion. Alaska is one of the strongest foundations that the PBA has. It should be replaced with more teams to cover what's lost. If they want to make the league survive well that is the best thing they need to do since expanding the league and open up more franchise can turn back the interest of the fans for sure there revenue will pump up since provably this will wake up the interest of past PBA fans who doesn't want to watch before since they lose their interest due to the obvious imbalance happening in the league. PBA should not focus on their current franchises since this will cost them a lot of money if more fans will not watch their league anymore.

We have seen there are miscellaneous reactions about bitcoin among US senators. On one side Colorado Governor Jared Schutz Polis announced that "his state will begin accepting Bitcoin for tax payments starting this summer" on the other hand Senators Jim Risch, Bill Cassidy, and Bob Mendez look aggressive against any step towards bitcoin implementations.
Some said using bitcoin as payments instead of US dollars will demolish the sanction power of the USA towards other countries. Do they fear bitcoin for losing control over the world economy or do they know the adoption of bitcoin will diminish the unchallenged sovereignty of USD?
Old man prefer old methods so expect that this new technology on financing system will not be good to them since they cannot relate on it and maybe they always look at its downside. Maybe in next batch of US senator if they elect new generation one maybe we can see a open minded people dealing up with new economic changes. For now for sure we can see majority of them prefer fiat over anything else in the world.

My favorite team Blackwater will be the next team that will leave lol. They are even almost out back then when their owner tries to sell the franchise because of that violation they committed during the pandemic where they do practice even it's not allowed yet.
I hope they should not leave. I like to see their journey making records day-by-day. They should continue that record that no team can do.
I think the other teams will also try to think about quitting. If the league is no longer competitive and it's always the sister companies that are facing or against MVP teams. There's no sense for them to stay. One suggestion that I've read is that they should just make a new team but not anymore with the PBA franchise but with the other leagues like MPBL or any other league in the country that's gaining traction. It's understandable why they took that way where they had to surrender their team and to give the chance to others who's willing to buy the franchise, Alaska will not be forgotten as they are already part of the PBA history. Other teams might as well follow that footstep, it might be sad but it is the best choice they've got because of the pandemic and the league is also no longer keeping up because of bad management. I won't be shocked if these teams will go to the MPBL. It's not about giving chance to the others but it's about that it's the solution they can do for focusing their main business. As the pandemic has hit, they have to cut expenses although we're doing good now with the current situation yet, the Alaska franchise has already lost a lot of money. With the recent news that I've read, there are likely 3 interested companies in buying the Alaska franchise and this was covered by the meeting of the PBA's management emergency meeting. Hopefully they will not sell the franchise to SMB or MVP group since it will kill more the league since for sure there's another independent team will leave the league next to alaska. And just wondering about what company got interest to buy a franchise on a dying and in balance league? At the high of pandemic for sure they struggle what alaska encounter especially if they are independent company.

I do believe that crypto mining is going to benefit the economy of Russia. as lots of cryptomining Companies continues to move to Russia as their next location since they have been banned from operating in other locations such as China, I believe that it is really going to make an impact and will help the economy to keep growing in the country.
I wouldn’t really say the same of cryptocurrency itself, but the business of crypto mining is something that is worth mentioning, because I know for sure it would make an impact. So, they have really made a good decision by considering cryptocurrency and crypto mining legal in their country.
Of course. Crypto mining can bring huge taxation benefits to the government. China may've reluctantly rejected Bitcoin, but other countries are opening their doors to the "crypto revolution" in order to avoid being left behind in the dust. Russia knows how important Blockchain technology is in today's society and what better way to embrace its benefits by approving Bitcoin for legal use? If I'm not mistaken, Russia is already the second-largest Bitcoin mining hub in the world. The Russian government can simply tax miners themselves in order to get a piece of the pie. We need as much countries into Bitcoin as possible in order to accelerate "hyperbitcoinization". Ultimately, Bitcoin will survive with or without Russia's support. That's because of its decentralized and censorship-resistant design. If it wasn't that way, it would've died after China decided to do a "full blanket" mining ban. Let's see how the situation further develops with Russia's adoption of Bitcoin, as US sanctions put strong pressure on its economy. Just my thoughts ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) They just see what China messing on and they could earn with it if they adopt then make realize to china that they are losing a billions of dollars taken from the tax came from cryptocurrency. For sure if Russia will gather more power for adopting crypto then most provably those other country like China which ban bitcoin will come back and tink about competing with Russia on its adoption with bitcoin.

I don't think Ethereum will have a bright future if bitcoin doesn't hit another ATH. Bitcoin has a cheaper network fee compared to Ethereum. On the other flip, Ethereum utilizes blockchain technology for transactions, yet they have a high gas fee. Moreover, Ethereum's performance depends on Bitcoin.
Yes, it's true that if BTC can't make ATH anymore then it will make some other altcoins also not able to have a better value because so far if we look at almost all altcoins in the market their price movements are strongly influenced by the price of bitcoin except the price of meme coin which is where the price is influenced by hype and is often manipulated by investors who have large capital. Because it was the well known crypto that's why many people look at it as a basis on how the market moves and certain people mindset influence others that's why we see a huge decline of altcoin market once bitcoin dumps. On side note I don't think ethereum would really surpass BTC since as you said it is also relying on how things go with Bitcoin and when bitcoin collapsed the top 2,3 and so on never jump over on btc so far.

I consider bitcoin is anonymous. KYC maybe be a normal thing in the days to come and maybe more casinos will implement KYC for their members.
I doubt it is anonymous where there's a public lists of transactions and can track it from the very start. I agree with the KYC particularly that most of the gambling sites are regulated and it should be done at some point, if the users don't want to verify their identity through KYC they can either move to other gambling site or play to gambling site that doesn't ask KYC but I'm sure that it is not regulated and operating illegally which is way more riskier than playing on a regulated gambling sites that ask KYC. If the big casino require this and they move to smaller one well they are taking the risk for getting scam by small ones since some of scam casino offer no KYC plus huge deposit bonus and feel pity for those guys who fall on this schemes. That's why choose what's the best casino and think positively on what they require especially doing Kyc since they adding layer of protection to its users for some regulations happened to them.

76ers got a really embarrassing defeat against Celtics last night by 87-135 home. As these two teams were really close in the standings, I had zero expectation about this kind of a result but here we are. Even if Embiid scored double the points he scored in this game, it still wouldn't be enough for getting close to Celtics. I'm looking forward to watching James Harden soon. By his arrival, I believe that this team are going to be much better in the playoffs.
The Boston Celtics got momentum right from the start of the game. They are hitting shots even properly defended. On the other hand, Sixers looks like in jet lag following the trade. They are not used to playing right now without Seth and Drummond who are already part of their usual rotation for long. Not totally a problem as few games should be enough to be rebuilt again the chemistry they are used to. If James Harden will be fit on the team, no one knows. We cannot see how different the Sixers is until Harden will come and play with them and we cannot expect them to be a good team for his addition since for sure they will work on their chemistry to see how fit he is in the system of Sixers. For sure many fans would provably watch his first game on Sixers because many are curious to know if Sixers made a right choice to include Seth and Drummond in that trade.

I feel like I'm going to stop playing DICE, experiencing consecutive defeats makes me very frustrated, by the way, which game do you think is more interesting? I have to try it to take on a new atmosphere, for sure I will enjoy it
No, it is not unusual to have 10 times losing streak in a dice, others have gone more than 20 consecutive reds in a row, or even longer. Even losing 30 times in a row is not that uncommon in the long run. Anyone who has ever used a bot and tried martingale strategy with a very small stake knows that sooner or later they will encounter such a losing streak. oh I'm not very experienced and I have a losing streak of at least 10 rounds at the highest, it can't be predicted and maybe only fate determines victory, do you think a more relaxed game is betting on sports matches? With 10 losing streak you already feel that frustrations, better to chill down and take your break, if you proceed the chance of being too much aggressive will lead you to lose more money, in regard to sport betting, it's more relaxing if you understand the types of games you will going to gamble, especially those sports that you are familiar, it added fun and entertainment while watching the game and you know that you have a decent amount of money at stake. Frustration hit up when losing streak happen and many fall for this situation and they think they can win more if they bet double or more that's why we see some of the players lose their money for this scene because they didn't know how to chill out and be greedy to take revenge on their bets. Well losing streak in sports betting is somehow avoidable so we need to familiarize what we are betting unlike on dice or any other type of luck base games well most likely this one happen so we need to cool down once luck is not on our side.

I want to sell the private key of the address that participate the tezos and cosmos ico, who wants to buy it?
No one will buy it since there's no assurance for buyer side that you will not compromise them once they use the wallet you sold to them and also I don't think there's anyone will get an interest to look for private key which participate on what you mention anyways. Maybe you should use that if you think its valuable since you canno get a sales for selling risky things here.

All these statements from Russia regarding the possible legalization of cryptocurrency, although encouraging, are still only words. And we have already heard a lot of contradictory words from Russian officials of various kinds about cryptocurrency in recent years. They think one thing, say another, and do a third. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for the adoption of specific laws. And the laws regarding cryptocurrency in Russia are still among the worst in the world.
They probably studying and see now the impact of cryptocurrencies and how they can benefit from it thru tax as well convenience in making transactions. Now that many coubtries like USA, Japan and Singapore allows it and implemented it there possibly ways that they can gain more by using it. Russia is smart enough to implement it with ways they know their government will benefit. This is another source of income to their government if they adopt it and this is really smart move made by them knowing how huge they can possible collected om their citizens. The one we need to see right now is how huge the percentage they take to their citizen since if they follow what India did maybe this one will not give them positive result and this could create confusion about why they implement that rulings.

After this incident what's next? independent team is slowly departing on the league and this is a huge loss for the league knowing that Alaska franchise is huge in PBA for sure other teams will think about quitting to since its undeniable that there's an in balance things happening in the league and this is a huge wake up call on PBA authorities since if they keep doing what they do these days maybe the only team will be left on that league is the MVP and SMB group.

I use BTC for deposits as the fee now is not too high. Besides that, once I deposit, I do not use all of the amounts to play at one time because I do not play too long. So when I come back to the site, I still have some balance that I can directly use to gamble ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) That reduces the fee of depositing and I do not have to deposit many times. Same here, I frequently use BTC for deposits and one of the good things is that they credit the amount within a minute or two so you don't have to worry about waiting even if your transaction has a low fee or is taking a while to get confirmed due to network congestion. Also congrats to those who won in the Valentine's giveaway and looking forward to the next one. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Provably this is the top option now knowing that network fee is not high compare before and I didn't see people talking about option so we can conclude that many choose BTC now since this is the top choice own by majority. This is what good thing happen now on BTC because we don't need to deposit now another alt to deposit and play since we are seeing it going stablenfor quite while. I miss the valentine event here also with other casino and will look forward for next event to.

Binance, the cryptocurrency exchange has restricted Nigerian users account to ensure users security and to protect the community from fraudulent activities saying is for a good reason. What is ur say about this. Can this action yeild a better result? Can Binance truly protect Nigerian community from fraudulent activities?
Binance is one the top leading crypto exchanges in the whole world, they're well known in providing selfless service delivery. In a situation where by they found some unsecured transactions, they will definitely suspend all the suspected accounts, because people use any opportunity to cheat, so if Binance found out this they will definitely restrict all suspicious people and do further research. I think they are capable of protecting Nigerian Binance users from froud. Well they need to have explanation if there are counter action on this incident since if they don't have anything word to say after a heavy restriction for sure there imagine might stain for some bad things knowing that people always ask for explanation and will get angry for unexplained condition unto them. Binance has capability on those things since they are the rule creator and can implement this anytime.

any time there is a 5% change.. silly people try to find a news worthy explanation for it..
sorry but its not related to the ukraine/russia stuff.
its just standard market karate kid stuff.. markets go 'upp, down, up down, up down'
Best reply from all , this boost our belief in bitcoin that it wasn't really affected of the said incoming war from Russia and Ukraine but instead this is a Normal situation that the market is facing. ____________________________________________________________________ Lets reduce listening to FUD guys and try to find news that really evaluate the real situation and not just some news that obviously being funded by people who wanted the market dumped . If we look at the situation more deeply we can say that its really irrelevant to relate the war to bitcoins because there are so many country who use it already and Bitcoin transaction will never stop by current happening in Russia. Manipulators just use it to scare people and yet they are successful. Maybe its good for people to look deeply and don't be scare on the news they use since as long as the internet work fine around the world we can say that bitcoin still great.

I don't see an upset either, Butler is not a champion and he lose to Tete which fighter was beaten by Casimero. From any angle, I can see that Casimero is the better fighter and this fighter would not be able to have a chance to fight him if Inoue take the challenge before.
You are right that Butler's name won't be picked if the negotiation against Inoue got organized but there's someone behind the scene who make that fight didn't happen. Inoue is interested and he said that please organize a fight against Casimero but nothing happened. For sure there are people behind this negotiation since they will not divert Casimero fight to another unexpected fighter without any reason and might they see the hype is so premature yet and they want to widespread the news about Inoue vs Casimero so that they can earn huge money for this match up. Casimero needs to win this so that he can bring more hype to close that fight against Inoue. If I'm not mistaken, WBO just stepped in and ask a mandatory title defense because both Casimero and Inoue are just trading and exchanging tirades without even a 1% progress that their fight will happen soon. Casimero also leaks information that he will face Inoue last December which should not be disclosed until everything is official and under negotiation. Moving forward, Casimero just needs to win this fight to have a chip at fighting Inoue this year. The return of the Monster is on June-July as per reports. Enough time for Casimero to rest if he wins in March. Casimero is just taunting or creating a hype for that time so that he can create a noise to make the ongoing deal sealed up but there's no progress happen that's why as you mentioned WBO step up so that Casimero can prove that he is really worthy to match up with Inoue. I do hope he can won this fight against Butler since this is his last shot to make the fight between Inoue to happen since if he fail for sure Inoue will go up on higher weight class.

-snip- I also hear a lot of bad and pessimistic words from people around me about bitcoin but I don't care about it because I believe in Bitcoin
Those who think badly about bitcoin, are too pessimistic and think bitcoin is only a digital currency that will disappear and not develop, of course they only know bitcoin is only about digital currency and do not fully know what bitcoin is. But when they get education about bitcoin, crypto and blockchain technology of course they will be interested. Lots of harsh critics about bitcoin and always want to take it down. This is also a way to spread FUD about bitcoin, to influence the bitcoin market price. Manipulation and speculation will continue to be done to achieve the goals they want. Try giving them few satoshis and convert it to their local fiat, and they may change their mindset towards bitcoin. Because if you are already here in this crypto community, you will only brushed off those fuds and negative criticisms because you know better. So despite those lies surrounding you, you can just laugh it off and improve your crypto portfolio. Once they realized their misconceptions, you are already way ahead of them. Nope they can change their mindset by just doing that maybe you should share them some better information towards bitcoin and how they can earn with it, also try to introduce them the risk so that it will not dismay them if know how to handle the market stress and for this then provably we can change their mind and join with us earning on bitcoin also with other cryptocurrency.

I believe their KYC isnt really something that needs document verification but rather asking out some very common kyc questions like address birthdays etc.
This is what I also know and I am surprised that some people consider this to be big deal when we both know that some rules and restrictions will happen when crypto gained more traffic especially now that institutional investors are the major investor. A valid Id is enough and certain question to ask is enough to do a KYC so there's no really a big deal if a reputable site will ask this since for sure this will be common thing now in crypto and this will be required for them to follow what law ask to them. So for people not to worry about this much better if choose big casino and not one who just newly launch and ask for certain documents which can say its totally damgerous.

I am sure China is spending a lot of money in different parts of the world and there was a documentary earlier about their strategic investment globally as they are planning to become the next super power and i bet China will out bid the US when it comes to investment and strategic partnership and they need to be smart enough to understand the terms and conditions before jumping into a conclusion about these deals.
China wants to take over many countries in the world by having the strongest economy, many small countries are now making deals with China, the deals that will not help the countries. China is giving the small countries a kind of way it can be dominant in the world. We can see many countries that will regret Chinese offer in the future in a way China would have borrowed them loans that can buy the whole country. This is China's way to dominate the world without risking any lives and they are totally successful for ejecting the debt trap on vulnerable countries which ask for huge loan unto them and leaders should be careful about this since they might lose a piece of their sovereignty if they continue to risk and deal with them.
