Thanks for the validation. You’d be surprised how frequently I turn out to be right. “I should’ve listened to you” is something I’ve heard so many times. Whether it be about investing in BTC or avoiding vaccines, or in this case taking payments to promote a money laundering service…



Thanks. I had nothing to gain personally from it and was retaliated against via the trust network for doing so. It should be obvious to people here now that the “upstanding” members of our community have been taking payments for helping scammers launder funds stolen from members here all while trying to act like the forum police for who is good and bad here. My gripes against the current state of the DT network should make more sense now for those who haven’t been paying close attention.

Now we get to watch all these money laundering promoters suddenly stop promoting ChipMixer while swearing they didn’t do it for the money, they did it to push privacy. LOL.

For mass adoption I don’t think it’s necessarily more services that need to be created as much as it is the basic acceptance of crypto for existing services. El Salvador being a good example. The government could kick off mass adoption by just announcing that Bitcoin is legal currency. When you can use it to purchase everything that a dollar could buy, then we’ll see mass adoption.

I would bet against that all day long. Anyone would. If you owned any BTC at all this would be free money basically. If the price does go up that high then you’re insanely rich from your holdings, and if it doesn’t then you win a ton of money from someone who let his mouth write a ridiculous check that anybody would cash if given the opportunity to do so.

I was just talking to a friend about this yesterday and going through the cycles and what can be expected if the fractal pattern continues. I think we ended up on a realistic price for Bitcoin in 2033 being somewhere around 2 million dollars per BTC. We also speculated that by then BTC will be being used by countries to trade goods and a price above 2 million per BTC would be appropriate. We’ll see. Seems far fetched to me.

It looks like the profit taking may be over for this leg up in Bitcoin’s price. We seem to be back to pushing up against resistance on our way to $30,000. It still seems very possible we hit that level this month. Buyers are trying to grab all they can under $30K it seems and sellers are few and far between. I always forget what the rally off the bottom is like until you’re in it. Impressive market strength.

No televised games today but there are a couple that I think are fairly decent matchups to bet on. The Lakers have their backs against the wall and should be giving it their all against the Magic. The Nuggets are also facing off against the Nets and I like that matchup for them. So if I were betting today I’d take the Lakers and Nuggets to win in a parlay.

Some sort of profit sharing would be cool. If you could put up funds and earn interest from the casino’s activities then I think it would be one of the more stable sources of income that crypto could provide. I know a few casinos do offer similar things but they’re usually small casinos trying to get help with their bankroll. An established casino offering this would be very popular, although probably not necessary for them or really beneficial at all.

This is a tricky situation. It sounds like you’re going to have a tough time getting your funds. A good start would be collecting any screenshot evidence you have as posting quotes in text doesn’t do much to inspire confidence in your story. Then you might be able to start to build a case that other people can help you get resolution to. Right now I don’t think there’s much anyone can do to help.

At this point there’s enough evidence out there showing you that the vaccine is not safe and you’re better off with natural immunity. It is clear that politicians used this pandemic to enrich themselves and sell a vaccine that they had been preparing since before any of us were familiar with the term Covid. This is going to go down as the biggest scam in human history if the truth comes to light.

The way that they’re bailing out these banks shows that they’ve learned a thing or two since the 2008 crisis. The question is how much pain does the Fed want to inflict on the economy before they feel like they’ve done enough to combat inflation. It seems like they’re not quite done yet, even though everybody is ready for the bank failures to stop.

I personally have never and would never claim gambling losses on my taxes. Besides it likely opening you up to further investigation that could lead to costly and stressful audits, I personally don’t believe it’s the government’s job to reimburse me for losses as a result of dumb decisions. Similarly to why I don’t claim crypto losses on my taxes. It just seems like personal responsibility to me.

I’m not sure if I would categorize gambling as having dark secrets. Most casinos are pretty open about the fact that they make lots of money, and some of them even clearly display odds so that players aren’t misled about the possibilities. I guess their secrets would be things like no clocks and exits that take you through a maze to get out of the casino, but even those are fairly well known.

No televised games for me to watch today but there are a couple matchups that might make for intriguing bets. I’m not able to place any bets today unfortunately but if I was I think I’d have to put down a parlay bet with the Kings, Warriors, and Celtics all beating their opponents. Nothing mind blowing but those seem like safe enough bets to combine.

Not a bad win. I’m not sure if cherry picking this moment without more context proves much, but you can’t deny that making $500 in a minute is a good thing and something that gamblers are sure to want to try and replicate. I am curious how much of that money you ended up withdrawing or if you gave it all back afterwards.

Every pullback seems to hit higher and higher lows. It seems pretty inevitable that the bitcoin price will hit 30K and very soon. I don’t think this rally is done. There are going to be little pauses for profit-taking along the way, but it seems as though this bull run still has legs. A good time to adjust your holdings to make sure you don’t miss out on the next two years of gains.

I’m not sure if he’s serious or if this is some way to promote bitcoin for a couple million dollars but I don’t think anybody truly believes that the price is going to take off that much that fast. It would be incredible how much money would be made in the futures market if that did happen but like I said, I don’t think it is possible.

Heartbreaking loss for sure, but it made for exciting basketball. The Lakers are watching their playoff hopes fade away as this is the second close loss in a row for them. They had better start winning some games, or LeBron will be back too late for any chance of him carrying them back to the finals. At this point, I’m not sure if they’ll make the playoffs or not.

Unfortunately for you, you are wrong. $16K was the low this cycle and now you’re going to have to spend the next two years being wrong. I’m sure you probably enjoy that part of the cycle more than when you’re right, and if so you should be a happy camper, because we’re headed upward to over six figures. You’ve been around long enough to know that your period every four years where you are right is now behind us.

I think the bull run kicked off already when we left $16K. I think we’re in for a multi year run that will take us into the six-figure range. We’re just seeing the early days of it now which can appear the most explosive. I think in the short term we’re looking at $30K and it might sit there for a little while before moving higher. I do think we will be moving much higher though…

I completely missed March madness this year. I’m not sure what happened but it completely slipped my mind until it was too late. I’m hearing that it has been a crazy year and almost all of the brackets are already disqualified. Knowing that I’m guessing I would already be out of the running anyways. Still a cool initiative though.
