Wait what are you talking about? Guy literally stole her money from his girlfriend, so obviously he could have lost them.
It's wasn't a loan. And he should give him ALL the winnings from it back to his "girlfriend".

If you for example have robbed a bank and use the money it to buy some lottery tickets, you have committed at least 2 crimes: robbery and buying those tickets fraudulently.
If you after that tried to go back to the bank and pay what you owe, not only you would go to jail, you would have to pay fines and government would confiscate all the profits you got from your gambling spree.

Obviously you are obligated to give the profits to the one you robbed, or if you don't want to do that government will be happy to confiscate everything and let you pay the fine for your girlfriend. And she didn't even want it all.

That latter clarification part didn't really explain what you want, in fact it just made it way more confusing.
Because i still don't have a clue what part of any of this you need to be safer. And i see many confusing issues in the first post.
So let me start to take it a part one by one.

First of all, you are depositing altcoins that you bought from exchange, which i assume that's because of cheaper transaction fees. Correct?
If this is the part you want to make safer or simpler, you could buy your cryptos directly from the casino via visa/mastercard.

Yet you are playing with bitcoin? I am uncertain where did this bitcoin come from as exchanging from those altcoins to bitcoin does require other kind of licence then just gambling license.
I don't know any casino that's also an exchange, Therefore you can't exchange to bitcoin in casino.

But as you said something about losing money by "filling wagering requirements" that made me think that you could be talking about bitcoins that you get as a first deposit bonus or something?
Losing your funds in casino when playing wagering requirements isn't something you can control either. It's just issue of luck.

Then you sound like you understand what self custodial wallet is and you have one, but you choose to keep your money in casinos.
So which part you need to be safer here and from what?

We have an online "casino" in finland that has Bingo as one game. However we also have government monopoly on gambling and winning prizes are smaller as most of the profits from gambling in finland goes to charity. However i would play bingo in casino if there would be higher prizes.

Ok, so others should be patient while Tesla sold rest of their crypto this year?
This is obviously just Elon wanting some crypto community love again and i am betting that at the same time he is looking for liquidity pump to dump his personal crypto bags on. Because he said he won't be selling his personal crypto bags just while ago. Just like when he said that Tesla wouldn't be selling.

This will most likely have an opposite effect again. Meaning we will just go down another (last) leg before the bottom.

I think he might actually be surprisibly high on poll predictions if he listed. But i wouldn't bet on him. He couldn't get the vote of the common people as a richest man in the world. There's just too much to unpack there.

i think that he has enough spotlight and he knows that "being inside the system" wouldn't help his pr.
Especially when he doesn't know squat about politics.

So far he has been using his eccentricity to mask his mediocracy but debates might be too much for him. He wouldn't know how to dominate the conversation, and i think he is afraid that people see trough his act.

Right now he gets ton of love by just doing insane things. He is the richest man in the world who doesn't pay taxes with a fan base and he can basically do what even he wants. I don't know what he would get out of politics. Especially if he doesn't undertstand how any of it works. His bugdets might just be too irresponsible and weird for any party.

I will agree with these odds and bet for Tank.

Compared to Garcia, his combos and movement seem way more composed and technical, and being a southpaw doesn't hurt his changes. While Garcia seem to rely on his natural unpolished talent, and just raw aggressive fast style, using surprisingly quick and powerful attacks even as a defence. Even though those look clumsy compared to Tank, he seem to get ton of power under them somehow.

My guess is that Garcia's style of defence won't work agaisnt technically skilled combos by Tank. Garcia's aggressive style is intimidating but very much defeatable and while his height and reach seem to do add to that and give him confidence, it's all appearances and something that can be taken away fast.

By centralization you mean nodes are hosted on same cheap cloud servers. That isn't same as 51% attack. If it would be easier to host light weight node in your own home, there wouldn't be an issue and this is something i am sure they are tackling next. Compared to bitcoin, that was once mostly mined from one server farm, i don't see the issue really, some people can't afford mining btc just like some people can't afford hosting their own nodes. This will most likely change in the future with lighter clients.

if cloud servers were compromised, people would either move to other servers or host it by themselves.

Sure, things can be more decentralized but we tend to forget that the whole internet mostly runs on centralized servers and their backups.

First of all, i am hoping this speech will get recorded. Because Sam really seems out of touch and hanging with company like that just shows that he isn't ready to remove himself from the spotlight. Who knows what he says, either shameless promotion of his "vital" mind or words of wisdom about how to lose a multi billion dollar business in a week. Maybe he will even lash out to CZ and blame him.

Bernie Madoff scammed Americans directly, and FTT international section that failed, prevented people from US using it. There's a big legal technical difference. Also the fall of the FTX seems to be because pure incompetence and irresponsibility. Proving that they had any intention to scam will be harder then with direct ponzi.

This event has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies, i am sure that event even enjoys the publicity of creating this type of controversy and as they haven't maybe followed the story as closely as us, they want to hear what he has to say. Also there's a change this still gets cancelled because of public outcry.

And even while i loath the irresponsible behavior of SBF, at this time i might even might buy some ftt as a gamble, not much because it can go to zero, but it looks like bottomed out, and if there are any rumors of recovery i have to consider that some others believe them too. And that would mean some recovery, not to ath but even 3x this point wouldn't be impossible.

I haven't seen any cloud mining site that would be profitable or if it claims to be, it's always a scam. And i have looked.
And the reason for it is obvious:
If cloud mining would be profitable, they wouldn't sell that service but just keep the mining profits for themselves. Otherwise they would be making loss

Even every cloud mining icos that have been looking for investors to build server farms have been scams or failed, so that should tell you something.
Only way for you to get profits by minining is either renting your own mining rig or find something that's profitable to mine.

Question is more philosophical about the concept of being sentient and if that is a human trait only, because i don't think being self aware is so special or unique that we think it is. It's just naturally devoloped skill among others so we can stay alive better.

You are comparing humans to current technology, so obviously you see that humans are superior when it comes to tech as we make it and code it.

Humans can be tools too, so would you compare them to knives? Why would you compare future tech to knives when we have no clue what it will be, or what it will be made of?

When you imagine past current metallic robots and try to figure out how they could heal themselfes and be self-sufficient like human body, you will quickly realise that humans doesn't require "intelligence" for most functions, like healing itself. Most of the stuff is hard coded in by genes/insticts.

And if we want to make robots that heal itself, we must learn how human bodies are so efficient on doing that. And why human body is build as it is. How synapses are working, genes telling bodies what to do etc.

We can already 3d print ears and make muscle like tissue with nanotubes, we can reprogram human body in so many ways, psychologically and medically, so as we get more and more data and scietific break troughs, is it such a far fetched idea we could code self aware biotech humanoid life from scratch that have less limits then humans?

Poll doesn't really give a full picture because those minds who voted on polls will be affected by FOX supporting DeSantis, and later on the full force of GOP and that's not in full effect yet.

Twitter most likely would have helped Trump to win, but i am guessing he wants to avoid twitter as long as he can, because of psychological reasons:
(he would hate that spotlight is on Elon Musk now and he would need to compete about attention with another, even richer and more successful man, who by buying twitter made Musk his daddy and him to look tiny and weak in comparison.) So he won't be coming back until Elon begs him, or he will just lie to everyone he did beg him.

Any case, that's the only way for Trump to have a way to white house. Spotlight will have a huge impact even if that would be bad press.

I wish democrats would just stand behind Pete Buttage, as he would totally dominate in debates.

The fact that it collapsed was really bad. I know some people will say that it's good to get rid of rotten apples, and yeah they are sort of right, but replacing them with tougher regulations won't be as fun as people think.

And everywhere i read about it, ignorant people mock and ridicule cryptos now being a scam. Uneducated people get invited to talk in news to tell that prices of cryptos were based on nothing. Those who mock loudest have a big cheering audience of followers and those will get wrong data what really happened.

The underlying issues how ever are worse, i would compare it to banks and say that if they mess up, they get bailed out. In fact Binance would probably bailed them out if what they did wasn't so messed up.

But i really even can't because to my knowledge even failed banks that got bailed out haven't messed up this way. We have just funded most unprofessional company with billions of dollars. Incompetence and carelessness of Sam was surreal in hindsight, they had no safe measures and it was huge FU to any kind of risk analysis. And new stuff that gets revealed like a billion dollar loan to Sam doesn't really help the situation. Even their company's psychiatrist is leaking out info that makes me think that they did even hire such incompetence on that sector that no one else would.

Difference being, banks get bailed out by governments. But on some level you are right banks being same, at least from now on, because of the currect cluster of trainwrecks, CEXes will get tougher regulations coming. And they will be more trigger happy to freeze your account from now on in fear of sanctions of not complying.

I don't exactly know what you mean by full centralization, but that implies no fiat ramp and no backed stable coins. Taking fiat money out of the picture will remove most of the institutional investors and reduce the whole crypto marketcap next to zero. Because if you are unable to

And before you say cash and p2p, google FATF travel rule to see what's coming.

Yeah it has a change, not under current leadership imho but who knows who elon wants twitter to team up with next, that could change things. And if elon starts to take care of his staff differently. He wants geniuses to JOIN twitter, not to laugh at their draconian leadership style. Because people rather work in somewhere they are respected and taken care of rather then somewhere which is purely for making money and doesn't add meaning to life. Athmosphere is an investment too and Elon seem to see that only as an expense.

However if everything goes well and they want to compete with facebook, they need groups, galleries and events like in fb. Because that's all what's keeping people any more. People have gone for instagram, and families rather chat in their own telegram/whatsapp groups.

Reddit is basically only social media different enough that i can't see anyone challenging. It has eaten most of the forums and still continues to grow unopposed.

Well as long as it's possible to get easy money out of it, people will do it. Ethics doesn't really matter to criminal underworld. However as they said in films, regulations have gone tighter and it's harder, while there are easier ways to make money for mobster wannabes then rigging matches, so i see this as a good path, because MOST people are against it, it's pretty easy to pass tougher regulations. Usually people complain about new rules. But then again those rules are protecting the gamblers and dignity of the whole sport.

If people want to see acting they will go to see well scripted professional wrestling.

Gods Unchained pays for playing. It will pay more the better you are playing, but the sad thing is, others in there, that you are playing against, are really good. If you know heartstone, you will know how to play Gods Unchained as it's almost identical. (Except Heartstone looks better.)

And even if you are really good at that game, you most likely need to buy some good cards to beat most of your opponents.

Good luck for Elon with finding any advertisers when then this thing turns out full blown 4chan free speech mode.

I wouldn't count on that.

Remember how tesla bought $1.5 billion worth cryptos, and told that tesla won't sell them, and you can buy from tesla with bitcoin and at the same year he suddenly says that pow is bad and tesla won't be accepting bitcoin, and soon after that they dumped 75% of it around $2 Billion worth to markets?
Like he just learned about PoW? While same time praising Doge that was PoW too.

And this year tesla sold almost rest of their cryptos, nearly $1B worth it.
Elon has said that he won't be selling his personal crypto, so i might give him a year after he announces he did.

Well it would be very different company then.
But just out of interested, what do you see the target marketcap being?

Not just markets but news on what affect markets. Because even if you won't believe the rumors, others will, and with option to leverage trades it can get pretty bad pretty fast. With rumors you also need to take account the reputation of the person who starts them. Fud can be price control attempt from anonymous source, but when it comes from main figure in the scene. You have to take it seriously.

Because, even if you cut your losses and sell -25% loss. You will only lose that 25%. If the rumours end up to be true, you will lose everything. So risks on the latter one are just too much.

Watched the video and it i really thought this would be ancient history, and it mostly is but i had trust in regulators that they could weed rigged matches out completely and it would only happen on some low level fights anymore. But who knows, maybe i was naive, because even if that gets harder and harder to cover up, we still have a doping problem that's apparently happening all the time as so many people get caught, so why would it be any different with rigged fights.

Ok, as i am broke enough and i don't really want to use it for promotions or bounties, i am lowering my ask to $2000 USDT or equivalent of any high marketcap crypto.
