Stopping gambling outright might help some folks with addiction issues, but going cold turkey isnt necessarily the best or most practical choice for all.  There is no one perfect way to beat a gambling problem that will work for everyone - different strokes for different folks, and all that.

Some people might find it easier to slowly cut back on how much they are gambling instead of just slamming on the brakes and  that could mean betting less money over time, playing less often or switching up the kinds of games they go for.  Taking baby steps might make it easier to deal with the nasty withdrawal stuff and lower the odds they will backslide. I think the best way to quit gambling is to find an approach that works for you individually, because every single person is different.

Id say Bitcoin is still a big deal.  Folks say it is gone the way of Windows or flip phones - important once, now old news.  But thats bunk.  Windows still runs a crapload of computers and what it did back in the day shaped computing big time.  Same with Bitcoin - it put crypto on the map and  theres lots of hot new cryptos making waves, but Bitcoin laid the tracks they all ride on, right? 

Things keep evolving but you gotta respect the OG crypto that started it all.  Some folks are too quick to dismiss it just cause flashier options came along. 

CoinGecko is just a data aggregator platform that gives information about various cryptocurrencies.  You dont send anything to CoinGeck, but you need to use an exchange, either decentralized (DEX) or centralized (CEX) to exchange your coins. On the other hand, PancakeSwap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that operates on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

The first thing you need to do is definitely identify which token you are actually dealing with because the USDM ticker can mean several different tokens on different networks. You must identify the correct smart contract address.

A lot of older laptop models have WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity through modules that plug into the motherboard.  These things are usually pretty easy to get to if you pop off the access panel on the bottom.  If you can tell me the exact make and model of your laptop, I might be able to give you more specifics on how to remove that particular module.  Though if you're unsure about tackling this yourself, it wouldn't hurt to have an experienced technician help you out.  They'd know the best way to safely detach those parts without damaging anything. 


You can download Tails OS and installation instructions for USB from their official website: https://tails.net/install/download/
Be sure to verify your download before using it.

I gotta say though, no software in the world can truly guarantee that your device is 100% air-gapped.  Your best bet is to just manually disable/remove the hardware if you really wanna go that route.

I also never heard of Multi-banks exchange, but I found USDM/USDT crypto pair on DeGate DEX. Yo should check it out if it is the same token you are talking about. Compare contract addresses to be sure.

Yeah, what you are talking about is the classic gambler's fallacy.  The idea that if you win once, you got some kind of inside track or better odds for winning again.  But that aint how it works at all.  Each new bet, each roll of the dice or spin of the roulette wheel is totally independent from what came before. 

Just because lady luck smiled on you last round doesnt mean she will be grinning at you next round too.  Yet so many hopeful souls fall into that trap, thinking they are on a hot streak or something, so they keep plunking their money down.  but the odds are still the same every time, no matter how you slice it.

The casinos and bookies absolutely love it when suckers believe in stuff like the gambler's fallacy.  Makes it easier to rake in all that sweet sweet cash.  So if you are just getting started gambling, keep your wits about you and don't buy into any supposed hot hands or lucky vibes. 

Well, I suppose someone could start using your forum account if they got your username and password.  That might happen if you shared your credentials to someone or got tricked by one of those phishing scams.  It is possible alright.  But should you let other folks use your account? I dont think so.  These accounts feel personal, right? They are tied to one person.  Not like a business you pass on to your kids and  most folks here want their account to stay private. 

Investing carries risk, but we all hope for rewards.  Still, best to avoid fantasies of massive profits.  Slow and steady may win this race. 

Thats why I prefer a long view - compounding modest returns over time suits me fine.  No interest in hopping onto the latest hot shitcoin.  I will pass on that rollercoaster, thanks.   

Steady as she goes works well enough.  If I stick to reasonable expectations and dont get impatient I can slowly build my portfolio.  No guarantees, but a sensible plan improves the odds.

I feel for you having those crappy bank experiences.  Some of them act so sketchy about crypto,  and this can be frustrating. Have you given Revolut a shot? Last I checked they do stuff with cryptocurrency and operate in the UK and  might be worth looking into if the banks near you wont get with the times.

I would suggest putting all your extra money into Bitcoin.  Since you are new to crypto, the more well-known BTC is a safer starting point than less proven track record of some altcoins.  But like with any investment, be sure to do your own research and maybe start small.  No matter what you decide, only invest what you can afford to lose.  Crypto tends to be volatile so approach with caution until you better understand the risks and potential rewards.

With such logic, suchmoon's feedback suits you well. 




No, you dont. You just like trolling with your throw away alt account. However, if you have any normal questions about my feedback, please feel free to ask. I will be happy to answer them.

Your explanation makes no sense at all.  Even if we suppose that you copied someone else's application by mistake, the issue still remains where you copied that Twitter link since I cannot find it in that form anywhere. And then changing it to a made-up Twitter account is also confusing.  Using fictional accounts for Twitter and Facebook makes me scratch my head and  i would love to understand the thought process there.

Why did you use a non-existent Twitter and Facebook profiles?

It is definitely been a tough year for the big centralized crypto exchanges.  Between dealing with regulators breathing down their necks, the crazy volatility in crypto markets, and some high-profile hacks, these companies have had their hands full!

But one thing that really bugs users is the lack of transparency from some of these exchanges and  when something goes wrong with your account or a trade you can feel totally powerless getting any real help or answers from them.  And that doesnt exactly inspire confidence!

Security is clearly another huge issue plaguing the industry too.  The CEXs have gotta keep working to lock things down and protect user funds better.  Bitget's new protection fund seems like a good effort on that front.  But one fund isnt gonna be any kind of cure-all here. 

The exchanges need to tackle the deeper problems undermining trust if they really want to assure users and give them confidence again.

Theres definitely still work left to do on that front!

Look, I get why you asked, but this stuff is pretty sensitive in terms of privacy and security.  If I didnt know squat about locks, I shouldnt be telling folks how to secure their doors and  that make sense? Put yourself in their shoes.  If you used some privacy service and found out later the person behind it was clueless how would you feel? These coin mixing things are trying to hide trails.  I couldnt forgive myself if my newbie clumsiness undid all that for someone. 

Friendly advice;  if you want to develop something, why not try something you are actually familiar with?

Do expensive things always reflect their true value? No, I do not think so. 
What something is worth is highly personal and depends on one's interests and means.  For example, someone obsessed with art can spend a small fortune on an original painting by a renowned artist, even if critics dont deem it a masterwork.  Those blessed with financial means, whether born into wealth or recent beneficiaries have the luxury of buying costly items on a whim.  Some may simply enjoy surrounding themselves with finer things  simply because they can.  Others employ extravagant possessions as status symbols to flaunt affluence and standing.  For them, emotion often overrides functionality where price tags are concerned.  But just because one can afford something doesnt intrinsically make it worthwhile.  Beauty, like value lies in the eye of the beholder and bank account of the buyer.

How do you think they can change the way they mix the coins? They dont have much of an option.  Mixing coins is their core business, and that part will never be able to comply with government requirements. Unless you think they should do some sort of KYC verification of their users or something?

Mixers promote the privacy aspect, while casinos do not. But there is a bigger question around what truly separates mixers from other common ways people try to obscure their coin trails? I guess this ban caught many off guard which suggests the boundaries and distinctions around privacy versus illegality remain blurry here.  Ultimately, we lack clarity on what crosses the line or why this particular practice went too far when plenty of other obfuscation techniques persist.  It seems an area of crypto desperately needing thoughtful guidelines that protect privacy without enabling crime.

Well, right off the bat, that domain name oughta raise some eyebrows.  No self-respecting exchange would slap together such a silly, meandering URL and  meanwhile scammers snatch up every cheap domain they can get their hands on if it is even tangentially related to a legit brand - in this case, Mercado Bitcoin. 

And another telltale sign here is an exchange demanding upfront payment for some kind of penalty or fee or whatnot.  They could just deduct charges straight from a user's balance instead of hassling folks for more money.

So, definitely a scam. There is no doubt.

This could work to cover up where your coins are actually coming from, and it does not cost too much (based on the transaction fees you pay), but there are some drawbacks you should know about.  Pretty much every exchange, even the anonymous kinds keeps logs of stuff like your IP address and the wallet addresses from where you put money in or take it out.  So if someone was really determined to track you down, they could get the logs from both exchanges and connect the dots right back to you.

Yeah, removing corrupted programs is a pain, but it is nothing compared to the nightmare of losing all your coins for good.  If that messed up software wiped out your wallet, leaving you with zero balance - now that would really suck! Thats like the worst case scenario when it comes to crypto fails.  Utter agony.  So while removing crappy corrupted stuff is annoying, be grateful it is not as bad as it could be.
