I had used my old mobile phone number when registering, which is no longer in use. I almost went to my provider to recover the number, so I could log in back in my account to retrieve my balance. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to not proceed, would have both my money and my time.

It's a shame, it was such a useful and entertaining service, faucets paid directly to your Xapo wallet and we were all happy.
Those were the old good days that I've seen with them when faucets are popular and everything was sent to their wallet directly.

yeahhh it was well know custodial wallet in 2016. many faucet wallet are using xapo hahaha.
back then there is no lightning network or something like that.

but now XAPO is nothing
They've started to lose popularity when other wallets have emerged and them instead of attracting more users with easy and friendly rules, they're giving pain to their users such as experiences stated on this thread.

I'm not so sure about that, but they are generally bad business. I wouldn't deal with them and had severe communication issues. I'd avoid them at any cost.
They did before the age of known wallets today and exchanges. I think that was 4-5 years onwards, they're one of the most known wallet since there weren't that much of wallets for bitcoin before.

KYC isn't much of an issue but it's an awful move to ask for a ton of documentation only to block you shortly after.
Yes, it isn't an issue if you have no choice just to take your balance out from them but if the result isn't what you've expected and much worse, that really is frustrating.

without significant investment,we cant hire someone to create own wallet.
I understand it now and that's your option as you're just starting out. But it's best for you to have your own developer instead of just renting out. Your own P2P exchange should run onto your own platform and you're the provider of your wallet.

It's not like that you're just going to avail a cloud service that would the thing for you. Well, that's just an opinion but hopefully you find your other option that will fit to your standards.

Lucky win compared to other wins, because these bets weren't the whale bets. The bet values were very small and the multiplier is quite big and a possible one.
Those wins can really be said as lucky wins but compare to the first images that you have posted, they've won more than those. But considering that these bets are only $1 in LTC and ETH.

That's like a jackpot to me.
We do have that kind of impression on where small amount base bet and able to hit those high multipliers does really give out more thrill or tense on hitting up a jackpot
compared into those hits who does have thousands of dollars basebet but only hitting up a small multiplier.In general discussion if these guys are on the winning
side? then i highly doubt that because gamblers do always on the losing side.
Yeah, it rarely happen to me and that's why whenever somebody shares those wins with small/base bets, that's really impressive to me. Rare and probably didn't happened to me even once IIRC.

Exactly, we see their winning side but we don't know how long they've been hitting those losses and that's why if someone who's happily sharing this, we should also be happy for them because they may tell the success and winning story but behind that, there's more to it on the frustration of losing more before hitting those positive numbers.
3525  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "COIN"- Coinbase IPO- Opens today- Thoughts? on: April 14, 2021, 08:03:43 PM
The estimates right now are that it will open at $340 per share.  So with that said, are you a buyer? Where do you think the price will end up at the close of today? 
Nah, I'm not a buyer but I'm like those people who would love such as good news as this. The mainstream media are on it and it's also the day when bitcoin reached another all time high.

Regardless of how you feel about Coinbase ( I personally despise the company ), this is good news for bitcoin and a big reason behind the recent surge.  Should be fun!
Yes! It's another exposure for bitcoin as those stock investors have to research and learn that this company's business is pure into cryptocurrencies and with main crypto of all, bitcoin.
3526  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Looking for methods to earn at least 1$ hourly on: April 13, 2021, 11:36:36 PM
If you have some investment in crypto currency then please try staking. Staking is a way where you can earn money by just stake your coins and earn huge income on daily bases. The income through staking is depends on APY( Annual percentage yield). The APY is changing with time to time. But if you have invested your money in a good project then you can earn a handsome income on daily bases and then harvest this income. And you don't need to do anything in this way.
That's a false promise mate. Don't say that someone can earn huge with staking daily. I'm not against the idea of staking but when you're describing it quite exaggerated, you might give inaccurate information about it to the newbies.

It's a good diversification for those who want to earn passively by just staking. But don't get the idea of earning huge daily because the only way to earn huge with it is to have a huge balance or capital and there's an APY that will determine how much you can earn the whole year which will be divided into a daily amount in parts. Because if you say that someone can earn big daily on it, that sounds like an hyip.

3528  Economy / Economics / Re: Can the government hijack Bitcoin? on: April 13, 2021, 09:37:43 PM
Bitcoin is known as to be the biggest cryptocurrency. in some countries it can be used to purchase goods and services and some see cryptocurrency as a threat.
Not only in some countries but for every country where there are holders of it, we're all using it if it's needed for purchases that we want. It's for the application and contribution that we do because it's really made for that purpose.

if Bitcoin comes to be number one currency in the world today, can it  be hijack by the government?
They cannot, they can stop the exchanges but transactions will continue because it can be done through peer-to-peer transactions. It's useless if they will "hijack" bitcoin not unless there's an outlet that they will unplug the wire of internet connection to stop mining which will affect all of the transactions.
3529  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Xapo Wallet on: April 13, 2021, 08:35:30 PM
This wallet was very known several years ago and when there's not much of an issue about KYC.

ahhhh.... talking about XAPO. i just get new story about my friend's xapo. he have about 240k satoshi but also pass KYC in 2019.

yesterday he tried to withdraw all of his remaining satoshi from xapo.
and xapo still doesn't allow him to withdraw. WTF Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
In this case, if that's only 240k sats, they should spare it and allow that. What's with them and too hard to let go and give the person's own sats sitting on their wallet?

I would still trust a hardware wallet which is Ledger that supports staking through their wallet. They've added DOT to the list and I think they'll keep adding more coins on their list as much as they can.

3531  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Binance.com Fixed Staking USDT cannot be redeemed on: April 12, 2021, 10:48:33 PM
First of all, I think you shouldn't show any amount of balance from your portfolio and just blur out the total or remove it and just show the cumulative profit which is zero.

Please contact binance support for a valid answer.
There's not that much to do here @OP but to follow this suggestion. I hope it will be okay soon.
3532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is the most popular game in gambling field ? on: April 12, 2021, 09:42:52 PM
Two games have already come to my mind. Dice and sports betting. If you can notice, there are a lot of dice sites and even some casinos that have different games, they're always including dice with them.

And for sports betting, I think there's no doubt that it's the most popular or if not, one of the most popular games that we have. Since there are sports that got back on their schedules and games, it's becoming a busy day for most sportsbooks.
3533  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cars That Can Be Purchased with Bitcoin on: April 12, 2021, 08:40:54 PM
Thanks for this list, this is interesting to know what cars can be bought through bitcoin and what dealers are accepting it. I'll now have another pastime to check what are the good cars to be purchased with bitcoin and just another day-dream on my end and that's fine.

I hope that these known manufacturers would expand outside of those localities and will have their dry-run or experimentation for the other countries that are bitcoin-friendly and, will have an announcement about purchasing their cars with bitcoin.
3534  Economy / Speculation / Re: It's not the end, $60k again on: April 12, 2021, 07:38:05 PM
If the target is $100k then $59k-$60k is a good price to get in. There will be some doubts that it could go higher if people think that $61k was the top that bitcoin can ever reach. But if we compare to the other past levels that we've met.

We've thought of the same thing that it was the peak that bitcoin can do. The market has just reached $2T in the market cap itself and this is just another milestone that shows that we're on the train that's not going to stop anytime soon.

I can't talk about global prospects, but given how governments flood all markets with liquidity, we can assume that everything will continue to grow (both bitcoin and the stock market). One has only to remember that sooner or later the reverse phase of this phenomenon will come and at this moment all markets will fall.  A real hodler can just wait it out, but the ideal version of which all investors want is to sell at the maximum price and then buy it back cheaper.
You're actually right with the growth for both markets and just recently there's a record high for both of them. For stocks, it has reached a $90-T market cap. Whilst for crypto, $2T for its entire market cap.

I'm preparing myself if ever that time comes that this high would stop and a massive correction would come. But from the looks of itself, that doesn't look happening anytime soon but if it will do, another time to endure all of the red days again in the market and time to stack some more sats.
3535  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Coinbase has thousands of complaints with D- rating on BBB on: April 12, 2021, 06:36:44 PM
It's a good use case if you're a beginner to try investing in crypto with the use of PayPal. But there are some points that you may want to consider if you want to purchase your crypto there.

The main one is you don't actually own when you purchase there. Why is that? they won't allow you to withdraw it from their platform. Can you think of it, buying crypto there and they will not allow you to transfer it to your own wallet?

Coinbase isn't perfect and there really are a lot of complaints and other exchanges experience it as well.

If you're from us, Binance.us will do.
3536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wyoming legalized online sports betting - crypto wagers allowed too on: April 11, 2021, 08:29:07 PM
Still good news, unlike some other place that doesn't allow it.

For those gamblers in Wyoming that have been gambling with fiat. They'll start to hear out cryptocurrencies as they gamble with those sportsbooks.

Those who don't want to spend cash and yet they have crypto, it's an ease for them.

3538  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bank & Government Crypto on: April 11, 2021, 05:27:06 PM
If banks and governments create their own cryptocurrency, will the people still be the ones to give value to it like Bitcoin and will we be able to store it in our own ledger to protect our own money?
The only crypto that the government might be interested in as their own creation was reportedly the CBDC, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

That's going to be a centralized cryptocurrency and the value will rely on what the government will say. We may put that in our own ledger wallets if Ledger will support it.
3539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Is there any good alternative to Bitgo Wallet? on: April 10, 2021, 06:43:07 PM
Is the monthly charge you're thinking about? since you're going to make your own P2P exchange, why not also hire someone that will create it for you instead of taking the service through them if you're worried about it.

In the long run, you'll save more and there will be a cut-off expense if what you are expecting comes.

Is Bitgo is a payment processor? I can see its just an exchange and lending platform when I open their official site but never hears of it until now.
It's like a company that provides services as I've read their website.

3540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fine line between market investment and sports gambling on: April 10, 2021, 05:36:41 PM
If they can use the investment section in the gambling site, they will have a chance to make more money than playing gambling.
Not that making more, investing to a bankroll needs time to make money and it's not that what you think as easy as what you say. It requires time for you to make with that feature.

But that will depend on how they will use their money on the gambling site because many people use the money to gamble to search for fun. We can choose what we need to do, and we can also use gambling for fun and use the investment that is available on that site to earn additional profit.
Fun, investment, making money with gambling, yes, all of those things depends on how the gambler will make his money and put it into purpose.
