Someone like me can't have a single option convincingly opted for as I am in the categories of Maximalist and Investors Bitcoiners in this regard. Bitcoin has a lot of functions and ideology, so one category can't completely define it, and even the scope, functions and benefits of the coin are more than the listed options combined.

Of course, the security of funds of anyone is the primary consideration when one is dealing with online funds, and Bitcoin has it covered for you as far as payment gateways are concerned. And even among the cryptocurrencies, it's the most private and secure, so the safety of your funds might be highly guaranteed if you are not careless on your path.

It has solved the problem of infestation by financial services employees where fund holders are their victims and has put an end to the overbearing practices of some fiats payment systems where they will unjustly block one account.

Paypal does this often, but Bitcoin protects you against such tyrannical companies.

Casinos are certainly not cheating us, cheating is only when they are not fair with their mode of operation or terms and conditions of their services as claimed. I've seen some that don't make anything from casinos, and I have a few that are making regular money, but this can't be much to make them rich. So, I believe one should think of the experience around them to conclude if they want to gamble or not, and also established the reason for gambling.

As an adult, any conclusion they reach should be void of complaints.

I see things differently, it was a very big mistake for Chelsea to have sacked Thomas Tuchel, now, has the miracle been done? I could read from the news then that some coaches were even surprised by the sacking because the guy was doing his job and trying to fix things. At times, good results could pause as the club has issues of its own, just like what Man U faced some years back and people now thought Erik Ten Hag is the saviour.

Many hands could not fix it at once because it's a gradual process, more time would have been, and not changing coaches anyhow would make it better. Now, FC Bayern has appointed him, I'm sure they can't do that for a dullard.

Well said, my friend, you actually said my mind. Elon Musk thought it was business as usual thinking he can venture into anything and get it done better. Well, the Twitter purchase has put him on the wrong note, even the Tesla shares dropped so significantly. You see, if someone is touching almost everything and such things become successful, they see themselves as one demigod.

But not in all cases, social media is a different space entirely, especially when you are doing things that are anti-social media itself. He thought he can monetize everything better, but it boomerangs.

This a typical example of why I believe people don't know the reason for KYC as I've read many kicking against it simply because they lie it could protect them from hacking. Who is saying KYC will protect anyone from hacking? it's your cyber security that will do that for you. What KYC does is to be sure that the person holding the account is what he says he is. And this is in turn creating a better society for us to the advantage of the gambler, the company and the government for security and accountability.

Only insensitive and selfish people that don't mean well for the society would kick against KYC.

It's true that the issue has pros and cons, but you got it wrong by saying casinos must not ask for KYC due to the anonymity of crypto. First, it's not all cryptos transactions that are anonymous, and casinos are companies, not crypto itself, they are only using the crypto as a payment system.

In a sane world, all their activities must be accounted for as a company to avoid illicit flows, so that argument is invalid. Crypto will always act as online money, but the activities of those using it as a payment system for deposit and withdrawal should be regulated.

I know the thread and I had a second thoughts about it when the guy posted such a huge amount ($225k) and later come back to say that the issue has been solved. He couldn't even show us anything as proof of the issue and the money received. There is a need to be careful about such.

However, I will blame those that will fall for such a scam vice in this 21st century, it is too good to be true. And if a casino is worth trying at all with such a big money display, such must be popular and should be well researched about.

I've been a victim of wallet addresses before I learned this, to the point of paying over $3 for a single Bitcoin transaction in the past. First, you need to know that there are custodial and noncustodial wallets, the former set the price you would use, and it will be with their fee+miner's fee, so you will pay more. While the latter will allow you to pay the miner's fee alone.

And the address starting with b might be right if they are Segwit addresses, as in bc1..., they could save you about 16% of the fee. But you have to consider the Mempool while doing the transaction too.

From a business view, I don't think you have a good justification for reducing your money in BTC except if you are trying to attract buyers through the privacy of Bitcoin. Short-paying yourself with over $1000 is not a good bargain as far as am concerned, and regardless of whether you will gain through the coin or not, your money is your money, you would have rather gained more or even withdrawn the excess and hold the rest for further planning.

Nonetheless, if the transaction would be made soonest, then you might have bought the coin at the peak, so it might fall before rising again.

The problem of Liverpool is still within the club itself, I guess their morale is low, nothing else. There might be a little adjustment needed though and Klopp is certainly doing a brilliant job as far as I know. They've improved noticeably in the EPL, and for them to have reached this stage with the UCL means that they tried with their poor performance this season.

There is room for improvement, so let us give them more benefits of the doubt between now and next season as this season is almost over. And I hope they make the champions league qualifier.

By gambling, I believe the OP mainly means casino, not sportsbook, and it will be so difficult for AI to beat the house in this category. If it were to be with the sportsbooks, the games and predictions are all fair and could be witnessed by all, unlike casinos that have some internal manipulations you might not know. This will certainly confuse the AI as they want and no one should blame it on casino bettings that have some internal dealing to favour the house.

For sports betting to be precise, I believe it will work so well because it will know everything about the team and the players, and be able to give good judgement/predictions about them.

With this, I could only say that you don't even know what you replied to. Custodial wallets, whether an exchange or not often let you send coins for free within their network, which was what I pointed to in my reply. Maybe you did not read it to understand. And I added that such must be popular to increase the chance of OP's customers using the same to enable free transactions for some of them. I've used this on some custodial wallets and Binance (exchange) to third parties for free, so I know what I wrote.

As for your suggestion on the payment processors, they are the most convenient, but maybe you don't use them, I do weekly, and I will always discourage a small/startup business to use them because they will not grow due to high charges. They extort customers because they set the price and fee which is beyond the control of the seller. This discourages buying and selling through cryptos as experience people will prefer fiat in such cases (if there is an option for it) to crypto in which they will pay more.

I wrote based on my conclusion after weighing all options, and it remains that direct payment is best for retail businesses if they are fairer to their customer than the third-party actors (B2B).

You should just forget about Real Madrid meeting up or as a viable contender against Barcelona this season, they've missed the chance and that did not just happen. The present 12 points gap is another consideration in this regard when the league is already ending, so what? Do you think Barcelona will be looking and get themselves won in 4 matches? Definitely not possible with their present squad and displayed determination into winning the league.

Their last match against Real Madir is deserving too, though the two sides were great.

 

In banking and economics, there are ways to approach situations, this might be what FED sees as best with the economic reality. As we all know, inflation is getting higher, which is forcing the FED to raise the Federal Funds Rate. And naturally, bonds will be devalued in the process, which will not be proper for the government to buy back bonds to avoid altering the hiking purpose. They (FED) consider the total supply of money, in which buying is only advisable when the FED is reducing the interest rate.

In other words, there will be an imbalance of the equation if FED buys back the SVB bonds.

I understand your feeling and it's good since you might be careful, sensitive and know the value of Bitcoin as an asset. Well, this shouldn't still stop you from spending your coin as it's not only about investment. Just be sure that you have a sizable amount still left in your wallet for the investment, you should not deprive yourself of good things in life because of it.

That said, you need to be patient and speculative, this is by knowing when Bitcoin is on the beraish trend. Spending it at that time will never be an issue, you can as well replenish back your coin when it's becoming bullish again.

This is a good development, but you must be certain of the ups and down of accepting crypto as a payment system. Based on what I experienced, please do not use a third-party actor, they will ruin your business by extorting your customers with high charges.

Just this week, I was charged approximately $5 for paying $122.57 for a service, which is ridiculous and so discouraging. Therefore, you might use a popular exchange or wallet for the transaction, and many of your clients might be using it too, so the transaction will be direct, internal and free.

You can afterwards move it to a more secure wallet if you want.

First, I believe you and your fine are one, there should not be any interference, and the agreement and transparency between you two about the money are crucial and final.

However, you should be aware that trading is so risky, and if you are new, it's about 99% sure you will lose that money. Also by your expression, it's clear that you know little or nothing about trading, so the risk is high and it will pain your wife if you lose the money.

Why not invest it in holding Bitcoin when the price drops? Investments like that attract lesser risk than trading.

Bitcoin is undoubtedly an asset, only that it's a virtual kind of asset. Anything that has value and could be owned is an asset, which makes Bitcoin one of them. And for it to have a value of about $28,000 and be listed in the world's electronic trading means that it's a high-value asset that is tradable.

It's you that should plan your investment in this asset very well and will always be making money. Even if you do not know much about Bitcoin and trading generally, just be sure that you learn how to read the peaks and bottoms of the asset.

Then invest when it's always at the lower levels to maximize your profits.

I got to know the referral program many years ago and I've made money from it, though I've never referred anyone to a gambling site, maybe because I am not serious about gambling, just doing it for fun. But I will always encourage anyhow that has the opportunity to grab it as it's free money, and it could be much if the offer of the gambling company is high.

A friend shouldn't unnecessarily disturb you for your referral codes and you say no, it's unwise. Because if they go of their own volition, then it means that the person will totally lose while the gambling company takes the whole percentage.

Bitcoin sold sharply after the FOMC meetings of yesterday. The Federal Funds Rate was hiked to 5.00% which represents an additional 25 basis points and also an indication that inflation is seriously battling the economy of the US.

That said, I've explained to those that reached out to me after the sharp fall that Bitcoin will not fall for long. The market was only confused in the wake of that news, which coupled with the needed correction of the coin.

However, the effect can't see the light of day, the sentiment of Bitcoin is still bullish as most economic considerations disfavour the USD at this present time.
