It's still minimal if it's merely asking for KYC at the time of withdrawal, the worse part is that you will provide every needed document but they will still not approve your account. This is just because of your winning, and they will be finding excuses for holding your money. I don't think there is a company (gambling or not) that I don't first do my KYC before I entrusted my money with them for the past 18 years. I make sure that my account is fully certified, and if they started making excuses for withdrawing my money, then I would know immediately that it's foul play.

A no-KYC crypto casino should be the best judging by the nature of cryptocurrency but lack of trust and regulation have tied their hands. Even at that, they have excesses under the guise of KYC, which is why it's good to look for the ones you can only trust.

Tuchel is a young coach that is promising and high expectation is on him, excuse could be permitted in the last season because he didn't start with the team, but that is no more. Bayern under him in the last season struggled much, the UCL is another clear show of this as it was better handled by Julian Nagelsmann than him. I will not start showering praise on him but to be honest, he must have done his careful examination before opting for those signings made. If not, it would be bad.

Come to think of it, no doubt that Harry Kane is a good player, but I doubt if he is the kind of goal-scorer that Bayern needs. In both the local league and UCL, a firepower that could score multiple goals in a season just like the old Bayern is what I think they need. Kane will deliver in his own capacity but signing another top striker to work hand-in-hand would have been better.

I understand you quite well and I actually know all you explained as true and also own my Bitcoin for a long-term investment. I'm just telling you how I view my own investment with Bitcoin, it's just like every asset I purchased, they are owned for their ROI only irrespective of how long I keep them, and when they are positive, I win, inflation or not.

I don't have the mindset of pegging it against inflation but earning through it if possible and I will manage it accordingly based on prevailing conditions rather than having the total belief that it will perform against inflation.

The new coach is my consideration too, if not for that, the club is almost the same as the way it was in the last season, those few adjustments made can't change so much and we all know that Napoli will not be wasting money on big moves. But one thing that still gives me hope is that they didn't make the mistake of selling Victor Osimhen, and for the fact that Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is still there. With the combination of the two this season, Napoli can't be so poor in performance, it could even win the title or be in the top 3 on the table in the end.

And surely, it will be tougher than the last season, especially at this time when Juventus would start afresh and with the right mindset to win the cup. I see Juventus, Napoli, Milan, and Roma trailing themselves when the season gets more serious, but with Juventus and Napoli being the arch-rivals.

We haven't seen the long term yet, we are only speculating, and if at all Bitcoin gives me a return by then which I know it would, I will rather appreciate it for my positive investment rather than a hedge for any inflation. The short-term experience I have had with Bitcoin in recent years proves that it could fall during inflation too. This is why it's important to manage our investment well with a prepared mind even if we plan to deal with it for 100 years.

Thanks for your view, but that is mine, and I don't think am ready to follow the majority beliefs here. I analyze Bitcoin charts both offline and online many times a day and follow its reaction with economic data, so I didn't just jump to this conclusion. I don't also know the reason why you are comparing Bitcoin with gold because I never mentioned gold, they are not in the same asset category even though Bitcoin could give you more money when you own it. Gold is a risk-off asset, while Bitcoin is a risk-on asset based on its behaviour, so no reason to compare them.

Please, refer to the response I shared with Oshosondy for the rest to avoid repetition.

With my practical knowledge of inflation and investments in assets like Bitcoin, I advise you to invest when there is a good and obvious reason for a bull run and be sure to let your technical chart confirms it on the higher timeframes before taking action.

Specifically, halving is a Bitcoin tradition that has had a track record of influencing Bitcoin in the past with no regard for the prevailing inflation (obvious reason). This same thing will most likely happen in the coming halving and even happen significantly more especially this time that people are more aware of the opportunity, and money will flow in. Bitcoin will spike higher within months irrespective of the status of inflation.

And like I always warn, people should stop making links between inflation and Bitcoin, they should rather view it as an asset and as an investment opportunity. In my own studies, Bitcoin and Inflation don't just relate proportionally as it could fall or rise during inflation. Just own your coin when we are in the bullish season, and you might also want to divest when we are in the bearish season.

I don't seem to understand you here, this match was played yesterday as far as Premier League is concerned, or is there any other fixture you are talking about that I don't know of? And no much kudos to Man U as they narrowly won by a lone goal in the second half, the Wolves also tried in what I watched even though they need to work more on their goal sense as the Man U I saw on the pitch did not have that kind of huge advantage over them in my conclusion.

If it had been a better club that met them, Man U would not go home without conceding some goals. All I know is that they should work on their scoring, it's important, none of their forward guys performed to expectations yesterday if not for Raphael Varane who is not even a striker.

It all encapsulates inside what they call behavioural economics, the source of income largely has an effect on how you spend it. Those who work hard for their money will think twice before they squander it on things that are not worth it. And in yours, you called it either gimmicks or scams, so it has already spoken for itself. Those who earn money so easily or scammers are living large and the reason is obvious. They always believe they will get it back easily in the same way and mistake it for their own source of income, it's often late before they realise this.

Personally, I don't waste my advice on scammers as I always wish they become broke, repent and learn from their mistakes. As for those who earn easily but still legitimately, they should learn a business or buy shares or properties instead of wasting it on frivolities.

These are many questions and the summary is that the US government currently has no issue with stablecoins because their values are pegged to the USD and other verifiable commodities and assets and have those assets practically backing them.

Meaning that they can truly prove their value/worth and make backed settlements to investors/holders, unlike other cryptocurrencies. This arrangement is happening in fiats as well but they tagged theirs in $(USD) which is why people do not suspect it that way. Just like PayPal, Skrill, Perfectmoney and others, the number you see on the screen is not the real money but has the power to settle deals on their platform like the real money while the real money is in the bank or stored as other assets. That arrangement is the same with the stablecoins but its own is just in the blockchain mechanism.

In addition, most stablecoins are centralized, and the USDT which is leading them by a wide margin is also centralised. Although some face scrutiny and lawsuits by regulators, it's minimal as I don't see a reason why the government will clamp down heavily on such an arrangement.

Yes, it works, even experts affirm this as adding activities would take your mind off the addiction as you might have little or no time for it in the day. But one thing you will need to ascertain is the productivity of that added activities, if they are not productive, you might be quick to disengage them. More spare time adds to the reason why people are addicted to gambling, generally to online activities, but with productive engagement, that will reduce, while some will not even know the time they will forget it. And of course, if they are willing, it helps better.

I wanted to ignore your post initially because it seems we are not on the same planet and it's certain that what I say might be difficult for you to understand. Many like you live only in the present while a few people live both in the present and future. It shocked you right? It's a mystery and don't let us go there because you will never understand even if I explain from now till tomorrow.

Let me go straight to the two points that called for my attention, and they are; the top-secret and crypto community is powerful to defend itself.

Top-secret - It's not in the defence and national security alone. Also, as it's in politics where we only see the surface but the true reason for some actions will always be hidden while they pursue their agenda bit by bit, so is present in governance and regulations as well whether you agree or not.

The crypto community is powerful to defend itself - As much as I want Bitcoin to remain forever, don't think many governments want that, the true decentralization of Bitcoin should tell you a lot of why they are not happy about it which also applies to many countries that still allow it. Now, if they are successful in separating it from other cryptocurrencies, which crypto community will defend it? It will by then be the Bitcoin community defending itself. It would have been thinner by then which is what the regulator want. Always remember that what government could appreciate in cryptocurrency is blockchain technology and not decentralization. As you know, many cryptos are no more decentralized even if they preach such to you, that's regulation working underneath, it's those cryptos they would prefer then, and if they are successful in splitting Bitcoin from crypto, I see more issues coming, it will be easier for them to perpetrate their evil.

Mind you, the government's power can't be compared to the Bitcoin community as you wrongly believe, it's more. If top nations agree and start clamping down today, it will be almost total. Imagine no domain hosting anything BTC, no exchange could associate with it, and OS bringing down any app related to it. What do you think would happen?

My conclusion remains that, if possible, it's better to stop the government now or not support them from separating Bitcoin from other cryptos for any reason. People think the regulator is doing Bitcoin good, but in the end, they will realise that the government is for no good intentions.

Thank you for this, when I first responded, I wasn't thinking about myself alone but also those who I know working from home. Working from home is beyond what many think, and what @Synchronice explained is right, only that it's applicable to a few, especially women that are either housewives or nursing mothers, even though many of them still have their strict moments. The people I know who work online are real hustlers, thinkers and creators, it's serious work when the time comes to work and nothing will distract them, not even friends or family. It's about getting the job done whether you are working for yourself or working for a company, after all, your success on the job would only be measured by your seriousness. Unless you are either lazy or unserious, you have to get it done even at home.

I've tasted the two sides as I've worked with a bank and the government of my country, and I could even say that more talking and engagement in unnecessary things happened then than when working from home. The only difference is that I earn more working at home (higher productivity) than working at my former jobs which was one of the reasons I quit instead of them controlling my time and still paying me less.

And in detail, it started with online trading, then graduated to trading and marketing. I still realized that I had more hours because I usually close between 5-6 PM daily. So I decided to start writing books in my spare time. I'm now planning to add an offline business in which I will employ people but will only be managing and supervising it in addition to all that. That is what I call "productivity."

You see, it depends on you and how focused you are. Personally, I've not seen a lazy online worker so far they get the job done, and for me, it makes me earn more, control my time, and make me think. Even now, I have a lot of projects written down to execute as I get more financial power.

All I see here is freedom and productivity.

Yes, there is an improvement, they were only unlucky to have started their season with a club like Liverpool, they would have won if they were paired with a lesser one. This is not a big deal as far as I'm concerned, time will diffuse it and what Chelsea displayed shows that they mean business this time, we will see better results from them and will be one of the holders of the top 6 positions within weeks. Honestly, I wouldn't bet my money on the match because I didn't know where it would result, and I possibly don't know how Chelsea would beat Liverpool and could not underestimate Pochettino.

Not even some, it's applicable to all gambling, there is no way anyone could have a fixed plan in gambling, such can only be done in trading and investment which is still subject to how good and informed the person is. Gambling is what it is, you are betting on the outcomes that you are not sure about, no strategy works perfectly for gambling, and by virtue of this, no earning calculation could be achieved through it. As I will always say, no matter how good you are in a casino, if you are not lucky, you will not win as luck plays a key role here, and since you can't control luck, you can't guarantee your winning. It's sports betting that is more predictable itself, yet, no one can guarantee a fixed earning in it.

Maybe at times, I reason differently and I predict like a prophet, these regulators have ulterior motives deeper than what people are seeing now. People think it's a matter of appraising Bitcoin over other cryptocurrencies, but I see it as a means for them to first separate Bitcoin which is the most popular and the truly decentralized blockchain from others before they will now clamp down on it. It will be easier by then.

I hope you remember this in the future, it might be 5, 10, 15 years to come, it doesn't matter, what people don't know is that some plans are top secret and the way they will perpetrate it might be cunny and very slow. Bitcoin is the only crypto asset that can fight for cryptocurrency, others will not have any choice but to dance to the tune of the regulators later and it will be easy to fight Bitcoin alone by then. You can mark my word.

You and @EFS have carefully described the mindset of a typical trader and I don't think there is anyone exempted from this as the market itself is dynamic and highly unpredictable, we are only speculating and using our instincts. At times, we might believe that the market might reach $50,000 and plays right into our hands, but at times too, it might not even reach that level. However, the most tragic of it all is when it closed upon reaching our target of $50,000 but the market moves further to $170,000 in the shortest possible time afterwards. Nothing pains traders and investors more than the latter, and this is more reason why I will not encourage you to set a target. You should practically study the market to make the right decision in real-time.

I'd carefully studied the behaviour of Bitcoin before and after the last 3 bull runs and I discovered that it always gives an easy-to-know signal when it's reversing, it's at that point I would opt out. The level is easy to know through simple trend/reversal strategies on either the weekly or monthly chart, and any good trend trading strategies would do this for you. While aggressive closers would prefer using the weekly chart, conservative ones would wait for the monthly chart.

The arrangement of stablecoins is more economically inclined than other cryptocurrencies, they are backed by assets, which could be gold, currency and others. And since most stablecoins are backed by the USD, then it's a better strength for the USD because they are actually acting like it.

I've always said that those who are trying to change the world balance would fail, we should enjoy the somewhat freedom and stability we have now because those countries trying to enforce de-dollarization will become more evil than good over time, they have the tendency to rule maximally.

However, my resolve remains that they will only try but will always fail as the USD is the only currency with reference to the past history that can hold that status. Not even the Chinese Yuan that is often been manipulated through pegging and is less popular in the FX market.

Of course, there is no casino that will calculate your limit for you, you are to be responsible enough to know when and why to stop. It's good for gamblers to do this often so that they will be able to test their self-control. There is a need to have your plans and calculations in gambling and be very strict with your periodic budgets. I hardly exhaust mine because I have a lot of profitable engagements, I just go to gamble when I feel bored and it has always been fun. These are my personal doings, plans and calculations and I might not even gamble for a whole week and I will not feel it. But one thing I noticed is that when I give in to gambling more often, I get carried away by it before I start retraining myself.

By this, I don't spend beyond my limit, still, I sense danger for those people that are not strong in mind and plans. My advice to those who are also out of control and could not do it by themselves is to first use the self-exclusion feature if available and get help as soon as possible, not until that red line is finally closed.
