I believe that your friend only sees Bitcoin and crypto from negative sides. And well, let it be because that is what is in his thought.
However, you can also talk about whatever you know about crypto from positive sides, based on the trusted sources, so that the information will be balanced. And if there is something wrong with what he said, just tell the truth and also make the clarification of the judgement with the source.

1. He thinks this is a casino. Only those who open the casino and the lucky ones can make money. Don't indulge in gambling and don't be blinded by the deviation of survivors;
He may mean about "gambling" because he is not sure when someone is buying crypto, the market will be really increasing or not. He thinks that it is likely gambling because cannot ensure or guarantee the future price that will be rising up or getting profits from it.
This may be true, but not exactly true. It will be only gambling if we don't know the exact way of investing or trading if we don't learn if we only follow others, and if we only make it based on luck to get profits.

5. He believes that Bitcoin is essentially a religion, so it's okay to be bullish, but it's nonsense to talk about blockchain killer applications.
Bitcoin is not a religion.
And is a religion bullish or bearish?  Angry

and some of his opinion is only from one side view, I think that you should let him know and broaden his mind about crypto  Cheesy

To my knowledge the first cryptocurrency was Bitcoin. Do you agree?
It is not about to agree or not. but, this is the fact.
Actually, I am still confused with your title and also the content of your posts.
Did you ask why crypto is not legalized? Or did you want to confirm about the Bitcoin?
If you want to confirm it, just read this very completed information about
A Short History Of Bitcoin And Crypto Currency

And the question:
Quote
Explanation Why Cryptocurrencies Are Not Legalized?
Legal or not will depend on the regulation of a country. It may be different.
There are countries that legalize cryptocurrency.
There are countries that ban crypto.
there are countries that legalize crypto only as a commodity asset, but not as a currency (payment method, ex: my country Indonesia).
Each country still has a different view, interest, other policies, and different views of Crypto, and may also be related to conditions in the country and various encouragement and considerations from various parties.
But there are also countries that once did not legalize Crypto and finally now legalized Crypto.
So, this is growing continuously.

My friends influenced me to gamble before and they teach me how to play the cards, and I’m loving it since its easy to understand and by that time, I have free money and I’m on the teenager free to do such things legally in my place. Until now, we are still playing with my friends on Casinos and the good thing is, we are not addict and we know how to limit ourselves which is very important. I’m happy to have my friends who will guide you to the right thing, which is not to gamble all the time.
Being aware and responsible when gambling even firstly only following others is wise enough. Moreover, if we know our limitations when playing gambling.
Some people may not do this, they will be always desired to try and try again until they win (in fact they have lost many times  Grin).
I started my gambling experience a year ago, but not too much.
One of the reasons is the intensity is more often open a gambling board here, so initially just tried the list and finally tried a little in some games. And at that time I used some of the payment that I got from here too.

When they are ready to take the risk then they also should face the consequences if the results went negative.
There is no choice.
No risk, no reward and this is gambling. The consequences are permanently there and there is no way to alter it. Losing it will make him think that he has to do it again.

Actually, when deciding to enter the crypto world, especially the gambling world, we must be ready for the risks. Every decision will always involve risks.
That is why we must know and understand exactly how to manage the risks in order to minimize the risks of losing.
If we have known about the risks, but we don't learn yet, only follow somebody else, not even trying to learn from its experience in gambling, the risks will be higher.
You are right that no risks, no rewards. If we don't take the risks, we may not get what we want. But if we want to take the risks, we must know how to minimize the risk, at least, how to avoid the condition in that risks.

You are right.
and this will exactly happen if they really learn and take every lesson and experience from that trading strategy not only following what other people do without any further leanring.
And sometimes, if they can take a certain thing from some strategies done by some people and they can really take the keys that are suitable for them, doing it with trial and error (of course not an often trial n error, because lots of trial n error will lose much more, your money  Grin).
Sometimes, it is true, that trading must be smart, smart in the decision, smart in utilizing and conforming the strategies, and also smart in managing.

Nah inilah salah satu pentingnya escrow saat akan melakukan transaksi semacam ini kepada siapapun di dunia crypto ini.
Dan pastikan sebisa mungkin agan melakukan escrow dengan orang yg agan memang terpercaya, punya track record yang bagus, terlebih yang agan kenal juga (bagusnya baik dari agan ataupun lawan transaksi agan juga kenal), sehingga akan aman untuk keduanya.
Jangan sampai hanya mengiyakan escrow yang dia ajukan tanpa meneliti terlebih dahulu pihak escrow tersebut, karena tidak menutup kemungkinan adanya fake escrow yang seolah-olah dibuat seperti penyedia jasa escrow sungguhan.
3367  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance Futures - Leveraging Risks on: August 19, 2021, 10:20:51 PM
Even though I have traded on Binance, I have never used Binance Futures and I have never used leveraging.

What concerns me is the risk.
Exactly, futures trading is very risky, and if we are really not ready with the risks, we are new to crypto, or even we have not known yet about future trading or trading with leverage, it is better to avoid, or not to trade in it. High risk is the reason why.
Although some people (who have been experienced or professional) often get big profits from future trading, never only get desired and tempted because of it.

What concerns me is the risk. But what I find most worrisome, is I have heard that with leveraging, you can end up losing more than your capital. What do I mean by this?
---
Is it possible to lose more than the capital when using leveraging?
You will lose maximally the capital that is in your futures trading account.
And what it is said, probably is about the margin.
If you want to trade in futures, you will need an initial margin to set. And most future traders will not put all capital into that initial margin. I personally will only put maximally 4% (mostly only 2-3% is enough for me  Grin) of my funds with some sometimes higher leverage. This is in order to minimize the risks of liquidation and also losing much more money.

And once the price, unfortunately, goes up or down inversely proportional to your position (short/long), not in accordance with the price movement you set (you set a "long", but the price actually falls continuously), and you do not set SL / CL or do hedging (hedge mode), and this is left alone continuously, so that there is also liquidation, then you will lose more money than you set in the initial margin, and this can cause all money loss in your Future Trading account.

That is why in my personal opinion, setting CL/SL and also (hedge mode) in future trading is very important for me (but everybody may also have a different view).

That is what we are thinking about.
gamblers will also see from a different point of view, not from the disability that they have. But how they can play, compete, and win the competition. And the winning or loss itself will determine whether the gamblers win that betting or not.
As long as they can make money from it, it will never be a matter, or a big matter to think about.

I think that we will have a similar score or maybe even a bigger score difference. Therefore, it shouldn't be so hard for Atletico to beat them.
It will be an easy match for Atletico Madrid. I guess the score will be more than 3 for Atletico Madrid. Moreover, they will play at home, it will be an extra motivation to win with big scores. I hope Suarez can play in that match, so Atletico can be more offensive. Without Suarez, Atletico cannot play optimally, so they cannot score as many as usual.

3370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on the Paralympic Games? Ethical or not? on: August 18, 2021, 11:25:44 PM
The bookmaker's availability will be the gambler's concern whether the gamblers will place the bet or just watch the show.
If gamblers found bookmakers to bet on the Paralympics and have many sports to bet on, gamblers will place their bet and see the result later.
But maybe Paralympics does not take much attention from gamblers because we do not know if they are placing their bet on that event or not.
Yes, of course, if the gamblers found bookmakers and he also saw the opportunity to win the betting, they would immediately use the opportunity. Maybe not many will be interested. However, it does not rule out the possibility if in the future gambling on them can be more and more. Given that the current paralympic games are also growing and attracting attention in the world.
3371  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Strategies changes with time on: August 17, 2021, 10:25:45 PM
Yes, right.
This too:
A trading strategy might work well on someone, but not for the others.
Everybody has their own trading strategy that fits them.
Additionally, the tradings strategy may also not fit to be implemented to all types of coins or tokens. Sometimes, different crypto will need different trading strategies and techniques.

There are many scammers through various media, one of which is Youtube.
There is even a YouTube channel that is very convincing its audience to invest in their body investors and deceive investors. Even it was done as if Live.
Already many people are victims of youtube scams like this because they think for very high profits to be obtained in a short time and a very easy way.

- And this is where never believe in such that kind of investment model.
- Don't easily believe with a very high-profit investment in a short time and a super-easy way.
- Don't transfer some money to them
3373  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bots and fake accounts in Telegram channels on: August 17, 2021, 10:16:45 PM
Lately the number of fake accounts and bots is rising in Telegram groups.
Is there any app that recognize the real number of people in a group?
If it is to identify the real account in a group, so far I don't find any.
But, there are some ways to know that the accounts may be fake only but by checking manually.
Mostly, the fake accounts will only go to the group and spread the spam once and will not be active again. "or, they'll only join immediately in groups with other telegram accounts and if we see their last active, it will be a long time ago.

We can also see from the numbers of all members in the group, how many members are active to chat in the group?

Additionally, we can also set a more strict regulation in order to decrease the fake accounts or spammers do spam or join the group by doing:
- Captcha
- Username set is a must

And these tools may help:
- https://combot.org/
- hCaptcha
3374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Man lost £20,000 in one night after becoming addicted to online gambling! on: August 17, 2021, 10:01:45 PM
this happens!
its much easier to build something than to destroy it
sometimes you can destroy years of building with 1 simple action.

we always have to be alert

if someone has the tendency to go too deep on something and have a hard time with emotional control they're probably better avoiding gambling.
Maybe the meaning is more easily destroying something than building or maintaining it.
And this is true, not only in gambling but almost in every all aspect of life, moreover about reputation, business, and others.
Well, this may be also because of the excessive desire to get something, too confident, and also bet without considering the adverse effect.
Sometimes someone becomes not too aware when it has been blinded by excessive desires.
3375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on the Paralympic Games? Ethical or not? on: August 17, 2021, 09:57:32 PM
Maybe today, there is only a few information about it and only a few platforms that concern with the Paralympic Games.
So, this may not be really familiar.
however, as you said, once there are any and there is a chance to gamble, they will bet it to focus only on winning the prizes only.
Taking chance if they really know the Paralympic Games, but not for the lucky games.

they are looking for an "executive director", much probably they are looking ahead in crypto field and not just one centralized coin.

When we talk about gambling, it is actually possible that the gamblers will not pay too much ethical or not, especially if they see the rewards so big.
Sometimes, they don't distinguish against things that are betting for them, whether it's a paralympic or not.
They might assume the same. And moreover, it is gambling on the sports, not on the person personally itself.

First of all, sorry to hear that.
have you also tried contacting to Binance Support?

Second, btw, please read the information provided by Binance Academy here about sending tokens from BSC to the wrong network (ERC20).
Quote
3. You sent the tokens to a custodial wallet or crypto exchange.

Ask your wallet provider for help or the exchange’s customer service. It may not be possible to recover your funds.

And here:
Quote
Recovering from a custodial wallet or exchange
If you attempt to withdraw your funds to a custodial wallet without BEP-20 support, such as another crypto exchange, you will need to contact the wallet’s custodial holder.

Some custodial wallet providers may help for a fee or allow you access to your private keys. You can then import the private key into a BSC supporting wallet. Most, including exchanges, will unfortunately not be able to provide you with your key.
source: Binance Academy

And because
Thank you for your reply. Their answer was: "We do not support BSC USDT/USDC. So please be more careful next time"..
I am not sure that the exchange will help to recover your funds.

I dont really get what you mean by "exmarket does not support the network" did you send on ERC20 network to an Omini network address or what?
USDT-BSC to ERC20 network.

I agree with you. We already know that Mbappe wants to leave the team to join Real Madrid as soon as possible. Because playing at Real Madrid has been his dream for many years. But when it comes to this news, it's no more than a rumour. We haven't heard any official statement from PSG side like they failed to convince Mbappe to stay by offering a new contract.
Yeah, there is still no official statement by PSG about this.
I also read the latest news about

It seems that Mbappe still really wants to transfer to RM and wants to leave PSG this summer, not as a free agent in 2022.
He wants to request it in a meeting with the PSG president.

Well, let's just wait for the official decision by PSG. We know that the summer transfer window will close in two weeks. We will know how the final decision about Mbappe

That’s more difficult than it sounds  Cheesy
Sure. But not impossible, buddy.
What he said is correct, even it is difficult to do.

That’s why I’d suggest people not do gambling “on a daily basis” at all.
You can suggest people, but people have their own choices. A few people may play gambling daily, I have a friend that mostly plays gambling every day. You can think it is a rare case, in fact it is real.

The best option here is prevention. I don’t think anyone should gamble daily, or schedule it, e.g. once every 3 days.
Each gambler has their own style of gambling. A few people gamble daily, some play weekly, and others may play without a schedule. So, the time to spend for each gambler may be varied or different. I think there is no problem with this matter. You can choose which one suits you.
