I had the same thing as well, when I want to join there is just the loading circle and nothing else happens. I tried it on opera browser with my vpn like I always do and it got stuck, I tried clearing the cookies and it was still stuck, I tried not to use vpn and it still got stuck and lastly I tried chrome and firefox to see if opera was the problem and it still didn't work that way neither.

Basically this proofs that the problem is with the website and not with us or if we should do something to make it work because if none of the things I did works then website needs to find a way to work with them, we should not be working this hard to get into a website, most people will not and just leave. I am sure it is not a big thing, just check to see what causes it and fix it so we can see the website without working overtime to get in.

Are you sure about your connection? I mean don't get me wrong sometimes when you have insane amount of connection you could still end up having a bad second, that always happens, just the ping being horrible at that point. I have been gambling here for a while (probably one of the earliest gamblers here) and there were a few problems when started, slowly getting better that's for sure, but none of that was about connection. So maybe it was something like that, try it on another device, and see if you still have it, that could be one way to check as well.

I personally still complain about the design of the cards, I never liked it and I still dislike it and I hope that there are more and more and more options when finally I can find one that I really like, people think it is a minor request but seriously having bad design on cards in a card game can be very tiring.

You do realize that you are "lucky" in the sense that you shouldn't even see a dollar of that money you put in all because of your mistake?

I mean you are telling the world that you forgot your whole email address and used a fake one and now you want the money back but you do not have access to your account because it was a fake email and you can't get in, and for some reason that should be scam from bustabit? No one believes that for one second, if you did a mistake and lost your money because of that then it is your mistake and you should own up to it, you are lucky in the sense that if I were running a business and someone came up to me and said "I do not remember my mail or have any access to it, give me my money" I would not give them a dollar, because it is a security risk, I would rather take the blame of being called scammer instead of being helper of a scam. You should be feeling grateful for getting the money back when you made such a huge mistake.

There is also no need for that to happen neither, people do not realize that. I mean when you are in decentralized exchanges just let it be in the decentralized exchanges and you will be fine, I do not think that anyone will pressure others into making a centralized exchange push, that is just not needed at all. Think about it, there is an exchange where nobody controls your money, you do not give your money to other people, you own your money, nobody can take it away from you, there is no "our exchange was hacked" type of scam potential, decentralized exchanges are just awesome.

In return you still can trade (for some reason called swap here) and you can keep your money in your wallet up until the swap second and then you get other money in your wallet as soon as you trade. I would personally say that the best way to handle this is keeping it in decentralized exchanges. Go get it to apeswap and pancakeswap if you can, but not centralized ones.

Infinite is a weird word, like it should be.... never ending? Unlimited? I still think that "one day" bitcoin will be something gone, it will not be around, this could be 100 years, this could be a thousand years or who knows maybe tomorrow because tbf we never know, it is a tech thing and maybe they will find quantum computing which can wreck havoc in all of crypto in a nanosecond, none of that is known.

However I am sure it is not going to be unlimited, it is 21 million and it will stay that way as long as it keeps being decentralized, we are just way too secure for that to happen, the day that changes means the day bitcoin dies and nobody wants it to die like that. So all in all I would say that in amount it will be finite, but in time it will once again be finite, the only thing that is "infinite" is the price, which is always up and down so we can't exactly say it has a limit.

The old "when bitcoin goes down altcoins go up" thing doesn't exist anymore, the last year was the perfect example of that. Yeah there are times when bitcoin doesn't go up anymore while alts still do but that is just when bitcoin reaches its peak and we should have known a dip was coming from that. Otherwise I do not remember a time when bitcoin went down like 10% while alts still went up like crazy, that doesn't exist.

Good thing is the opposite is true as well, in the dollar value when bitcoin goes up then alts go up too. Like for example when bitcoin was around 10k, ethereum was around 200 bucks, when bitcoin reached 60k, ethereum was nearly 4k as well. So that means they all go up together, then they all go down together, it just works together these days. All those opposite moves were things that happened in the past and not anymore.

I feel like there is going to be some hype and pump that is for sure, especially if they end up writing anything about it on twitter, think about it jack and Elon writing how awesome their new approach to bitcoin will be? That is like dream come true for a speculation person. However reality is that it is not going to be everlasting, it is going to be something temporary and I do not think that we are going to see any long term effects of it.

I understand that people are in love with Elon whenever price goes up and hates him when the price goes down, but that is not going to change for a while because as long as people keep trading based on tweets of some people then we are going to allow him to manipulate the price forever, it will only stop when we do not care about his tweets anymore. Let's see what they will talk about, who knows maybe it is not going to be even about bitcoin.

Remember games are still in Phoenix so far as well, Suns have that advantage of playing at home, and I know because of pandemic the home advantage became a bit less important these days but I remember back in the day we have seen plenty of winning at home twice then losing twice at road and so forth, teams trying very hard to steal one game at road games and such, it was a thing in the past but with the formation of super teams and such suddenly we are too used to teams winning all together and sweeps.

I would say Bucks could lose even this game and they still have a chance as long as they can win their home 2 games, however if they lose 2 more games back to back that will maek it 3-0 and that's game, I do not think that they could come back from that, I doubt it would even be possible if it became 2-1 first and then 3-1 because Bucks probably can't come back from 3-1 down neither. So they should put all their chips into home games %100 guaranteed wins no matter what.

^^ I would say it was a proper penalty. I understand that we are expecting major stuff in order to call it penalty because that has been what it is like in the past but these days in the past few years, maybe even in the last decade if you want to call it, there are more penalties called because we now realize that it doesn't have to be very dangerous tackle in order to get penalty, the meaning of penalty is basically giving someone punishment for doing something dangerous, by all means we all would rather have a game without any fouls neither, everyone tackling very professionally without doing anything dangerous but we all know that is impossible.

So, these years we see more penalty because defenders do act a bit more reckless and we can't just have injury risk things as penalty, we need to have dangerous moves as well so that when you give penalty players would know not to do it again. I feel like it was justified in that sense, it wasn't an easy call, but it was still a move that shouldn't have been.

I have to say I wasn't fan of Dot for a long time but now checking it I have to say they are looking not so bad.

The reason why I didn't care for it when it first started was the fact that there were too many people investing into it without Dot really being good, because it wasn't developed good enough yet and there wasn't a proper community and things surrounding it, and eventually people started to left because it wasn't doing too much and the market is crashing in every coin right now.

After that something special happened, people who have been working on their Dot related projects started to pop up because it took them some time to develop something good, and Dot itself developed better as well and eventually right now it is at a level where I believe the price should be what it used to be because NOW it actually deserves to be there.

At the end of the day there will be a lot more people joining the crypto world, probably millions of people and it will not be simple, it will not be easy and somehow it will be very very long and no matter what challenge lies ahead of us? We will still see those new people.

Tens of millions of people, there are still over 5 billion people who never owned a single satoshi by calculations, I am not saying all of them will, but do you really think that in 20 years bitcoin will be nothing? Will it be gone? I believe that won't be, which means there is a chance someone who is not even alive yet will be born and be able to buy bitcoin by that time. This is the future that we are talking about, 80 year olds today won't get it of course, but the more time passes the more young kids who will grow up and have money will end up buying bitcoin. This is why getting in right now is super super important.

Inflation and devaluing of fiat. Don't let anyone else tell you anything else, even in the most basic principles of finance the fact that fiat will always lose value is a real thing, there is nothing around this and unfortunately what you can buy with 100 bucks today, you can't buy the same in 10 years and that is a fact, nobody disputes that, and it is a very well known fact as well, there is zero person that will say "I can buy same things with 100 bucks today and 10 years later", zero person believes that.

Yet bitcoin is doesn't have that kind of inflation (except what miners mine) and that means while fiat loses value, bitcoin won't and that means technically speaking bitcoin will gain "value" whereas only thing it gains is price. That is the reason in the long run bitcoin is something nobody should disregard since it will be your weapon against inflation.

I would say that I would not invest into amazon stock not because the executives are getting out, and not even because Jeff doesn't seem to care as much, but because they are bound to get a lot harsher regulations in the future and a lot more taxes.

The minimum 15% is nothing, literally nothing to them, they have made SOOOOO much money that even if Jeff paid from his own pocket he could have paid the last 10 years tax cost of amazon from his own pocket today, and this is not retro paying, they will only pay in the future, which will be super simple. Sure they may not make five hundred bajillion dollars in profit, they may end up with just 230 gazillion in profit but who cares? They are making so much that it is still one of the most if not the most profitable business in the world. What I think however is that not only there will be even more taxes, there will also be unionization that will destroy the abuse of amazon does to their employees and that is going to change a lot.

Without failure you do not get success. Do you think that bitcoin was the first coin similar to the idea? There were "online money" ideas going around for nearly 2 decades before bitcoin was created, you know why bitcoin got the best of it and became the big thing? Because others always had a problem, it was never a great fully perfect thing, not like bitcoin is neither because we have seen a lot better blockchain since the creation of bitcoin but at least it was the first non-problematic online coin idea that worked. After that we tried and failed a million times, this allowed us to have thousands of bad coins but also tens of great coins with it, now there are so many different coins that worth so much and I believe that counts for something.

Of course, we should not be investing into those failed ones or the ones that look like it may fail but at the same time it is definitely something we should be thankful for because those failed ones allowed the good ones to improve.

Bias is not fine when asked a question like this but I also do not believe that there is a bias in this forum. Go check all the people and things people write and you will see that there are as many good posts about bitcoin as there are bad ones. This is why I do not think that there should be anything we should be worrying, we are in a situation where we need to realize bitcointalk is not for bitcoin lovers only, it hasn't been in a long time, ever since that 2018 crash happened there are too many people who say bad things about bitcoin in here as well, people who reached high level of membership in this forum all while saying bad things about bitcoin and even getting some support from others who think that way.

I am not saying they are the majority of course, there are probably still more people who love bitcoin than people who hate it here, but people who hate bitcoin are still around and that is why bitcointalk could sometimes be very fair.

What people are not realizing and only a few talked about is the fact that this was not money in the market being sold, it should not impact the price at all. I personally bought enough BNB these days, for the past 1.5 months I have been getting more BNB and ETH and BTC and that is what I could do during the bear market, it allows me to collect more bags now that can turn into profits later on, this is how rich people got rich and I hope to do the same thing to get rich.

However I just want to buy some other coins as well, I can't say that I will buy a ton more, but I have other altcoins that I haven't purchased too much yet, hopefully I will end up buying some more of those, I have around 20-25 coins that I invested at peak times, I have dropped the purchasing average of nearly 4-5 of them and I want to do the same for the others as well hopefully, BNB average is already down to 440 dollars, so I doubt I will buy any more of it.

It is not just about the "rules" when you are racing. I mean you follow the rules nevertheless and if you get a penalty even when you are following the rules that is a damn shame that s true. However there is something much bigger than that when you are racing in a formula car, every milisecond your life is in balance, you could die at any wrong move, and more likely you could get seriously injured because cars are better protected nowadays injury is more likely then death.

However if you are pushing someone out of the tracks into gravle then you are putting someone elses life in danger, how could Perez ever know nothing would happen to Lerclerc that day? I mean it could have been a very terrible move that ended with someone getting seriously injured.

Aside from that there is nothing wrong in the racing sense but if you can get out of the way and you are still pushing someone outside of the track limits then you are not doing something ethical. While we are talking about if Perez was right or wrong, he literally himself went to Lerclerc and apologized for the way he drove and he publicly said he is upset over it and he is not the type of person that races that way. So even he feels it was wrong to do that.

Every time the price drops a bit people are getting worried, and that is the funny part about bitcoin as well. As soon as it drops under 35k people are acting like it is going to go to under 30k right away, and it never does drop there, look at the price action, we had just one time it went under 30k in the last month and that was for just few hours and it shoot right back up, after that it was all because people were acting as if price would crash, and yet it didn't. You know what is even funnier? There are tons of people who think it will go to 50k as soon as it goes above 35k again as well, and then it hits 40k and stays there and goes back down.

Maybe it is time for people to realize that we are not going to go above 40k or under 30k for a while? I mean it looks like that is the reality but many people still argue against it and say that it will change soon each time it happens, just chill out and calm down man.

Eventually Binance will be back in UK, they are already working on making it back with a new thing. I do not know what the name will be but it will be something similar like binance.co.uk or whatever and they will have another website where everything will be catering to UK laws and that way they will continue to do that, with a connection to real binance as well where you can send money between those two binances without spending any tx fee neither, it will be quite easy.

So long story short this is going to be no issue in the long run. Let the nations decide on what they want to do with crypto because it is not easy to just say you are ready and support as a whole government, it takes time and some laws and regulations to be able to support places like binance, you can't just let them do whatever they want without any regulations so this is understandable and can be fixed by binance quite easily.

The question should be "do you write at the gambling section because of your signature" because writing here is not like a forced thing, I can write in anywhere else aside from gambling as well, I see this forum as the peak place for crypto social media and that is why we are here.

I have met with people I have been talking over telegram for over 4 years now, some of them goes as back as 8 years on bitcointalk (moved to telegram later) so not everyone is here writing specifically because there is a signature campaign. However if me writing makes me profit? That is even better! However the question about if we write in gambling section because signatures require or not are different questions, because I do see some people who are not very well versed in sports writing very basic stuff as well, very high quality "post" but the text itself looks very basic and shows how the writer doesn't know about the sport he just wrote about. So that could be true, I am not sure neither but only guessing.
